Broken but still Alive novel Chapter 8

I cried as I watched my brother pack his things his face angry, Why was he leaving m

“Please, please don’t go,” I cried grabbing his armte shook me off harshly looking at me sterity.

“You’ll be fine Emma your strong. Now stop being such a baby and quit crying,” he snapped ripping his bag up. Hurt trailed through me at his harsh tone and the cold look in his eyes.

“But I love you Luke! I love you more than anything please don’t leave!” I cried pressing my lips against his.

I cried out as he violently pushed me away causing the to fall to the ground. I looked up at him cringing at the disgusted look on his face,

“What is wrong with you?! God you sick pervert, I’m your brother!” He wiped his lips glaring at me now. “God are you some pathetic whore? I’m glad I’m leaving you sick psycho! I’ll never love you understand!”

I nodded weakly feeling as if my heart had been ripped from me and burned to ashes. I felt as ifI couldn’t breathe. He was right I was sick. I should have never kissed him.

He gave me one more disgusted look and stalked out the room and house slamming the door behind him. Heartbroken I laid on the floor and wished for death.

I jolted up in my bed sweat and tears falling from me. I gasped desperate to catch my breath. The distant aching in my chest made me flinch reminding me of my dream.

That was exactly how I feared Luke to react and it terrified me. If he learned the truth about my feelings he would have been gone to me forever, though the last four years seemed like forever I always knew I’d see him again one day.

I jumped as a noise by my door startled me. I looked over to see Adrain dress only a pair of gray sweatpants and a white tank top. His hair was sticky everywhere a tale sign he’d just gotten out of bed. I looked away as I saw the concern in his eyes.

“Emma….what’s wrong?” He asked softly sitting on the bed instantly pulling me into his chest. 1 guess I must look horrible if Adrain was this concerned.

“Just had a nightmare, I’m fine.” I whispered my throat sore from crying in my sleep.

He looked down at me unconvinced and ran his thumbs along my cheeks wiping my tears away.

“What was the dream about?” He asked softly pushing my hair from my face.

I closed my eyes and rested my head on his chest letting his warmth comfort me as it has many times this past month. I wish he was my brother instead of Luke, but life would never be that good

to me.

“I had a dream about my brother,” I whispered.

He stiffened in surprise “You have a brother? Why didn’t you tell me?”

I took a deep breath “We were close when I was little, he was my best friend. But on his 18 birthday he shifted of course. I was the only one there for him and once he was finally in wolf form he just

stood there and stared at me,” I remembered.

“He had this weird look in his eyes then he just took off running into the woods. I went looking for him but gave up and went home only find him packing his bags. He left that night. I didn’t see him again till that night I was at the club.”

Understanding flared in Adrain’s eyes “It was the night I found you on the couch wasn’t it?” Adrain

asked.

I nodded remembering how much Luke had changed. His short blonde hair had always looked good on him, but his dark strands seemed to make him more dangerous and edgy.

“You should have told me sooner short stuff,” Adrain told me smiling slightly.

I shrugged not wanting to get into it. Just telling Adrain that much had me feeling as if my heart was

bleeding.

“Come on I’ll make you breakfast,” Adrain grinned like a little kid shocking me. I quickly agreed before he could turn into his scowling self again. It was so rare to see him actually smile and to see him acting like this. Well the world may just be coming to an end.

I watched in amazement as he cooked pancakes, eggs, bacon, grits, and handed me a tall glass of

orange juice.

I gaped at him.

“Two years! Two! And you’ve never even touched a pan while I’ve been here!” I yelled at him. I mean when he said he’d make me breakfast I figured he’d do what Andy did and make me a bowl of cereal not a freaking buffet!

He chuckled at me face and handed me a plate loaded with food. “I never really felt like cooking,”

He shrugged.

“You know how many times I’ve had to order pizza because me and Andy can’t cook! Oh that is just mean,” I glared shaking my head.

“Who died?!” Andy yelled running into the kitchen with greedy eyes. I gave him a strange look as I caught what he had on his boxers.
