A Girl Nobody Wanted

“What?” that just slipped from my tongue because I was totally surprised by what he asked. “Is Luke with you?” he again barked at me. “What? Luke..." I said, looking at Luke. Not just Luke but Jake also were looking at me. Jake asked me to put the phone to speakers by hand signals. “Yes... Bitch... Can't you even hear properly.” he screamed. I clearly saw how both Jake and Luke made their faces with anger. They would definitely beat Shane if he is here. “How Luke can be with me? I am at Penny's place. I will come home soon." I said. “Really? Penny... Do you even know where her house is?” he asked sarcastically. God! I really don't know where her house is. “Of Course I know Shane because I am inside her house. See you later.” I just cut the line. “Great!” Jake smiled, looking at me. “You have to be strong, Sarah. He always bullies you because he knows you never stand against him. He can be your brother, but you don't deserve to suffer from all his stupid cruelty." Jake said. I smiled weakly. I knew he was right. I can muster up the courage to stand up to others, but when it comes to Shane or my parents, I feel utterly helpless. Maybe I love them more than I even know. So deep down me, I don't want to go against them. Or I am ju scared that I will lose the shelter above my head if I go against them. Either way, I find it very hard to go against them. “Whatever he tells, stay strong. If the situation getting worse, call me or Luke. We will take care of it." Jake advises. I nodded my head. Then none of us spoke for some time, we all just stared at different directions. “Forget him now. Let's eat.” Luke said, breaking the awkwardness. We three ate the breakfast prepared by Jake. I must say that Jake is excellent in cooking as well as he is excellent in everything else he does. They were just joking and making me laugh. I couldn't remember any other day, I laughed this much. How happy and satisfied you feel, when you are with the right people? In my whole life, I didn't get an opportunity to have the right people in my life, but now I think God has given me a chanc I am given not just one, but two people... I am willing to do anything to keep this happiness forever. After having breakfast, Jake asked Luke to drop me home. “Don't get sad, because we can't hold our hands and stay together outside these walls. You believed in us even before yo knew my identity. Now you know about me. So you can believe in us even more. I will always find a chance to be with you We can talk to each other over the phone as much as you want. So promise me you will not be sad thinking about everything." Jake held my hands near his heart and spoke. “I promise you... I will not be sad. But I really wish I can stay here forever” 1 replied, placing my head on his chest. How good his chest feels... How long I have waited to be with him like this. After all, my imaginations from my scrapbook seem to be coming alive one by one. “My poor princess... he kissed my head softly and patted my back. “I will take you to me very soon. Please wait just a bit more, my sunshine,” he whispered. After staying in his arms for a few minutes more, I walked out of his house with Luke. I didn't feel like going at all. I felt like I am leaving my heart there with Jake. He was no different. His eyes were filled with clear pain. I know he suffered even more than me because he thinks it's his fault that we can't stay together. I don't want to make him worry even more. So forcing a smile to my face, I got into the Please, God! Please help us solve our problems soon. We both have suffered enough...Please let me be with him forever. Luke dropped me a few blocks away from my house to avoid any suspicions. After greeting him, I walked to my house and tried to open the door. But the door was locked. I opened the door with my spare key and went in. There was no one on the ground floor. So I went upstairs. All the rooms were empty. Thank God! I just can stay peacefully for some time. “I came home safely” I typed a text and sent my anonymous messenger... Well... he is not anonymous anymore. It felt rea awkward to text him knowing his true identity. He called me in the next second. “You know, you can call me as well, he said, laughing. “I think I need time to get used to it" I laughed. “You know Sarah... Today is the happiest day of my life. I was afraid that when you get to know it is me, how you will react “You had my scrapbook right. So you must know how addicted am I to you." “That's true. But people can change... So I was afraid. I couldn't even imagine what should I do if you don't want it to be me.’ “I tried 50 many time to get rid of my feeling towards you... I never thought you will pay any attention to me ever. So I wanted to just get rid of my obsession and move on..” I said. 856.7 “I couldn't do it no matter how hard 1 tried. I couldn't get my mind off you. Hating my self for having feelings for you, I spent every day trying to fool myself that I don't care about you. But every time I see you, or just smell the fragrance of your cologne, my obsession just got worst.” I said. He was silent for a few seconds. “sarah... May I know what are your true feelings for me?” he asked. I knew he was serious, and I have to actually say it to him. He deserves to hear it from me... Right then I heard the front door opened and Shane screaming my name. “Jake... Shane is calling me. 1 will call you later. " without even letting him telling anything, I cut the phone and walked downstairs. “sarahil” Shane was screaming. He was furious, I could say it from his voice. “Where the hell were you?” he asked, as he saw me. “I... was in my room.” I managed to say. “Don't try to act like a fu**ing i***t. Where were you last night?” he yelled at me. “I told you. I was at Penny's place.’ I replied. “Really? Then can you tell me how Luke dropped you if you stayed at Penny's place” he screamed. God! Did he see Luke drop me off? “I was at the bus stop, and Luke gave me a lift’ I said the first lie, that came to me. 50 why he dropped you a few blocks away. Didn't he have enough fuel to drop you here?” He was so close to me now. He was walking towards me. I was going back until I reached a wall. “He... he... wants to.. go somewhere..." I knew I sound like a total i***t. But I didn't know how to answer his question. He pressed me to the wall and grabbed my neck. “He knows I am your brother, right?” he asked. “I don't know if he knows that or not..." replied quickly. He stared at my eyes for a few seconds. “Did you have s*x with him?” then he asked out of nowhere. “What!” no need to tell how much surprised I was to hear that. “I asked did he fu** you?” he screamed. “Are you mad, Shane. What the hell are you talking? Let me go..” I said, trying to get away from him. “Did he kiss you?" he asked again, looking right into my eyes. His eyes were filled with pain... Or am I mistaken? Shane is capable of giving pain to others only. I highly doubt he feels pain for anything in his entire life. Anyway, what the hell is wrong with him? “Don't act like an i***t, Shane... Let me go..." I said. “Iam an idiot... Yes, I am an i***t, and I don't think twice to be a murderer if I want." he tightened his grip on my neck and started suffocating me. “You whore... I asked you to stay away from my friends...” “Sh... Shane... P......e..."l was coughing and crying. Is he really going to kill me right now? Please God save me! Jake's handsome face was reflecting on my mind. He will die with sadness if something happens to me. I can't let him suffer. I have to get out of here. with my full strength, I could get rid of Shane's grip. I was running towards the door to get out of the house. He was following me like a hungry beast. suddenly the door opened from the outside, and I bumped into a strong chest. A pair of strong hands were wrapped around me safely. “Lukell” I heard Shane screamed. I raised my head from that strong chest to see Lukes handsome face. He was not the joyful, sweet Luke who dropped me a few minutes ago. He looked furious. His whole face has turned red with anger. I have never seen him in this much anger before. “What are you doing here?” Shane asked. “I came here to see my girlfriend...” Luke said confidently. Girlfriend Holy stil What is he talking about? it seems like I am not the only one who felt like pushed down from a high raised skyscraper. shane looked utterly shocked, and he literally went a few steps backward with the shock. “You... Shane tried to speak, but he seemed lost his words. I have never seen Shane in such a helpless situation. I know i is cruel, but I can't help but feel happy. “I don't want to remind you again and again... Your sister... Oh! forgot. You don't like to call her your sister right? Anyway, am having an affair with Sarah. I don't want anyone to even look at her in a wrong way from today onwards. If she gets in any trouble because of you or someone else, I won't think twice to do everything in my capability to get the revenge” Luk said, with so much determination. Shane's face grew darker with each word that came out from Luke... His eyes were focussed on Luke with so much pain and helplessness. “Let me take you to your room babe...” Luke said, holding my hand. SAT a
