A School Assignment -M.C.-

Chapter 5- Tears and Brothers

---Meghan's Pov---

I hopped into the shower. Today had been a really long day. I was in a new continent and I'm trying not to fall for Mr. Michael I don't know his last name but I want it. No, I do not want whatever his last name is. It could be stupid like oh I don't know some animated characters name or something I don't know. But, I don't like him. I like no one but myself, if that. I finished showering and dried off. I raced from the bathroom to my bedroom. I changed into a pair of black sweats and a sweatshirt. I quickly pulled my hair into a messy bun. There, now I need food I haven't eaten all day. I walked downstairs an found a hot pocket in the freezer. I warmed it up and sat at the table. I stared at the warm hot pocket. Debating if I should actually eat today. I didn't want to gain anything and I could loose all I had worked for. No I had people to impress. I just stared at the hot pocket on the plate. I heard a noise close by and turned to see Luke came into to kitchen with his head low.

"Hey." He says lifting his head and smiling.

"Hi." I say slowly.

"It's weird for you to be here again after like 8 years." Luke says as he sits next to me.

"It's insane to be here. I've been in America so long I forgot I was Australian." I say smiling.

"Ya, I've been worried about you all day." He said grabbing my hand.

"Why?" I ask sarcastically. He chuckles and I laugh. "It's really hard especially with my...issues." I say and his eyes soften.

"I know but, you can learn to control it." He whispers back and I glare.

"Don't you think that's what I'm trying to do!" I yell.

"Breathe, I was saying we can do it together." He says and I soften and breathe slowly.

"Thanks." I say slowly and I relax. "Ugh, it's annoying that every time I get slightly mad someone has to calm me down before I accidentally kill someone!" I exclaim loudly. Luke rubs his thumb on my hand. I wince as he rubs my bruising knuckles. "I know, we'll get through it." I drawl trying not to be annoyed but I was. He used to say that when we were younger and I got mad. I feel like I got all the angry and ugly emotions and Luke is just happy, and kind. That's why Luke can calm me down and that's about it (except Alice but she's on a different continent.)

"We haven't talked in 8 years and you can still do it." I laugh honestly annoyed.

"Do what?" He asks puzzled. He was so daft. (I'm American, Literally live in freaking 'Murica. Why did I say daft?!?)

"Whenever I'm mad you calm me down. I'm not as stressed or angry." I tell him and I await a response. He opens his mouth to speak and nothing comes out. He pulls me into a hug. I cried. I just relaxed and I cried. I let myself cry. I hated crying. But, I cried. I cried because my dad was gone. Because, I had to tell people how to understand me. Everyone but my twin brother. I cried because finally I could. But that was more years than I needed I wiped my eyes and straightened my back.

"Sorry Luke, I didn't mean to cry on you like that." I say in my most polite tone.

"No it's okay you have the right to cry." Luke shrugs and I take a bite of the food I've decided not to eat but ate anyway.

"No, I don't get to cry that's not who I am, I've hid who I am since I was got here. I haven't cried in over 8 years Lucas and I just for cry." I rush there I went spilling my emotions again. My Dad's death had really changed me. I was crying and sharing my emotions.

"Seriously cause I cried like a two weeks ago when I stubbed my toe." Luke laughs and I just sat there.

"Pain hasn't made me cry in a long time Luke." I sigh rubbing my forehead. "Sorry Luke I'm going to bed." I shrug making my way upstairs. Today had been a really long day and it really had sucked.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I try and put lots of effort into this book. Comment ,Vote ,DM but mostly enjoy. Need to talk I'm probably available. Lots of Love, Meghan.
