*Merry Christmas!*
Liu showed you a small grin and walked away.
"What are you doing?" He said, turning to you.
"Looking around.." Liu grinned, spotting your diary on the coffee table. He began reading it.
You snatched it off him and laughed. "That's personal information!" He smiled cheekily.
"So..Liu" You said,playing with your hair. "Can I ask you some questions?" Liu looked at you. "Sure?" He said. You sat on your bed. "How do you and Jeff know each other?
He hesitated for a moment."We're brothers." You were taken aback. Brothers?
"Really? Why did he turn out like this?" Liu bit his lip.
"Why are you interested in Jeff all of a sudden?" Liu said with a annoyed tone. You were scared that he would turn into Sully again. "I'm just w-wondering." You said holding up your hands to your face. Liu gave out a huge sigh.
"It all started when Jeff and I moved to a new neighborhood." Liu began. "Jeff was 13 and I was 14. It was alright until our first day of school. We were at a bus stop, mucking around when 3 kids, who looked about 12, walked up to me and Jeff. Apparently we were their new 'Meat'. I think they were called Randy, Troy and Keith."
You were listening carefully. "They started bullying us. They even took my wallet! Jeff then had enough and broke Randy's wrist? I think that's what it was. Then he went and punched, kicked and beat the other two kids. We saw the bus coming and ran away from the scene." You nodded whilst listening. "Later the next day, the police came to our house and asked us who beat up the kids at the bus stop. Since I cared for my brother so much back then, I started to cut and hit myself when I heard the police sirens."
"I then went to the front door which they were standing and showed them the bruises and cuts. I showed them the knife and I took the blame. Jeff was shouting, saying it was him, but since I loved him more then anything, I lied to protect him."
You smiled a bit. "Wooow..Heroic much?"
He smiled back,"Yeah..I wouldn't call it heroic but you know.." You smiled. "Well, about a number of weeks later, When I got out of Juvy, I found out that he was at the hospital due to some burning." You looked at him strangely. "What kind of burning?" You asked. "He got set on fire." Liu replied. "Anyway, When he unrevealed his bandages from his face, It was a horrific sight. His skin was white as paper, his Lips were burnt to a red shade and his hair turned from brown to black."
Your lips were wide open. "I told him that it wasn't bad but he said his face was perfect. I wasn't worried though, since I was happy that my brother was alive. Later that evening, I heard shrilling screams coming from my mum and dad's bedroom. I ignored it and tried to get back to sleep.But then I felt someone ontop of me. I looked up, there was Jeff. He had carved a smile into his face! It also looked like he burned his eyelids off."
You were still listening. "All I remember from that night was him saying 'Go To Sleep' And then I blacked out." You were amazed. You wanted to ask him more questions.
"Wow..." You said. "So, how did you get your stitches?" Liu looked at you with a cold stare. "Wow it's none of your business!" He said with a tiny bit of anger in his voice.
"I'm asking so I'm making it my business!" You bitchaly said. Liu left the room with his arms crossed. You panicked and followed him out of the room.
Could this be your first argument?
