Chapter 15: The Bearen Sisters- Chapter Twelve
I looked at my older sister Gracelyn, who was five years older than me but one year older than my other sister, Sasha. Gracelyn has curly but long blonde hair that contrasted to her caramel colored skin. She was wearing a deep blue dress that was shorter in the front but longer in the back. Pairing the dress with black flats. My other sister Sasha, had on a black blazer with business pants and a grey tank top underneath, very different from her attitude. Sasha had pure brown hair but added light brown highlights to it. Sasha and Gracelyn are sisters by blood because they have the same father and mother. But when there father got sick and passed away, there mother got remarried with my father, around the time my mother passed as well.
I always disliked there mother, mostly because she was always rude to me and never treated me like her child. I only put up with it because I didn't want to mess up my fathers marriage if he actually loved her. She always put unnecessary pressure on Gracelyn seeing that she was the oldest one, And I feel like that shaped her into the distant person that she is now. Sasha was born four years after Gracelyn but still does her best to be the most annoying out of all three of us. Sasha works as a medical doctor, but mostly because she has healing powers, her powers can heal even the deadliest of diseases but she sticks to healing diseases that have a known cure, if not she could attract a lot of unnecessary attention from the public. Gracelyn is a famous ballet dancer and is well known around the globe. Though she is known for ballet, she can also dance to different genres and has even made choreographed dances for different celebrities. Her powers remained unknown but that only makes it more dangerous. The only thing we know for certain is that if her eyes start to turn purple, you should probably run. If her eyes are a light purple, her power isn't being used fully but once her eyes turn into a darker purple, she can get destructive.
"W-wait, what are you doing here? I thought you were coming back tomorrow night?!" I asked them. Gracelyn waved her hands.
"Surprise!" She said sarcastically, "We were going to surprise you when you got home but I got a call from Ivy who sounded like she was dying and begged Sasha to heal Violet." She said, her eyes drooping down when she looked at Violet sleeping on the bench with her head rested on Jacob's shoulder. Her eyes snapped back to me.
"And where were you all this time?" She asked annoyed at me, I looked at the ground before looking up slightly. I was so frustrated at Emily I left my own best friend to fend for herself while I was barking at people, which didn't help her situation at all, if anything it made it worse.
"I, I was trying to find who did this to her." I said softly. I balled my fist up slightly, a soft and pressed gently on the top of my hand before gripping my fist lightly. I looked up and saw Sasha smiling sadly at me.
"It's not your fault Sara, other foolish people caused this, not you." She said. "Gracelyn is just worried for you and your friends, we see all three of you guys as a little sister to the both of us." She said still smiling. I looked up at her and smiled back. I heard Gracelyn sigh behind her before looking back up at me, her eyes flickering between me and the floor.
"Sorry." She said quietly before changing the subject. "Are Ivy and Violet going to be staying the night?" She asked me. I looked at back at them before nodding.
"Yes they are,it will be too late to drop them off now, they can go back after school tomorrow." I answered. "And we can walk back, your car won't fit all of us and I should say bye to the guys first. If that's all right." I said to them both. They both nodded before waving goodbye and heading back to there car, driving away.
************************************
I walked up to the the others slowly before I lifted my head up to see everyone's state. Violet was still fast asleep and her head was laying on Jacob's shoulder with his head on hers. Alex was sitting on the bench next to Ivy who was still crying, trying to comfort her. Luke was standing up pacing back and forth before spotting me and running over with wide eyes.
"What did they say? Are you hurt? Did they hurt you?" He asked quickly, I smiled at him and shook my head lightly, he sighed before looking back up at me smiling as well.
"You don't know how worried we were for you-"
"Sara!!" I heard Ivy yell before being engulfed by her hug. She was still pouring out tears but she seemed to calm down a little bit, she pulled back from the hug and bombarded me with more questions. I smiled lightly before shaking my head at her.
"I'm fine, okay?" I said to her. She smiled brightly at me before frowning at me.
"And you! Why didn't you help me with Violet?! She could have lost an arm?? Want to lose yours as well!??" She yelled at me while hitting my arm harshly.
"Ow ow ow! I'm sorry I was trying to find Emily! She caused all of this after all!" I laughed out, before realizing what I said. I covered my mouth and immediately turned to Luke with my eyes wide.
"Emily did this?" He asked me slowly. I stuttered slightly before turning to Ivy.
"Can you get Jacob and Alex to take you and Violet home please? To my house, if you don't mind. I'll meet you guys there, okay?" I told her softly. Getting a grasp of the situation, she nodded her head before running off the tell to others, soon after, they all left and started walking in the direction of my house.
"Answer me Sara." Luke asked me again, but his voice colder than before. I nodded my head before quickly looking back at him.
"Yes, but it's fine I-" I started, but he interrupted me.
"But what Sara? You seem to have this all figured out, don't you, huh? When where you planning on telling me this?" He coldly said to me.
"It had nothing to do with you Luke! I didn't want to bother you anyway!" I said to him, trying to prove myself.
"Really? Because last time I checked, you and Emily weren't on speaking terms, and suddenly when I come into your life, you and her are constantly at each other." He said to me. I looked down, not wanting to admit that this whole fiasco was because of him. He put his hand on my cheek and rubbed it with his thumb, looking at me sadly.
"Talk to me Sara." He said softly. I sighed while looking back at his blue eyes before turning away.
"She's saying she's your mate, she wants me to stay away from you for good." I said. His hand stopped stroking my cheek and instead fell back to his side. He didn't say anything for a few seconds before looking at me with sadder eyes than before.
"She's not my mate Sara, She's always wanted to be but when I'm around her I feel nothing, if anything, I'd be annoyed by her constant clinging to me." He said. "Yes, me and her were dating, but I broke up with her after a while because I didn't want to lead her on further than I had already done." He continued.
I felt a wave of relief rush over me after he said that, Now I know for sure that Emily has no business in our relationship. I sighed lightly before looking at Luke who still had a depressed look on his face. I smiled slightly before reaching out to grab his hand, he flinched back before turning around.
" No need Sara, I didn't mean to force our relationship like that. Sorry." He said blankly. I blinked a couple of times before processing what he said to me fully.

Was he dense?!?

I thought me hiding the fact that he probably could have found his mate would mean I have some sort of attraction to him, but I guess in his book it made me only want to be his friend?!
I shook my thoughts away before catching up with him, seeing as he had already started walking in the direction the others went to get to my house. Once I caught up with him, I wanted to say something but I didn't want to make the situation worse so I let him be.
After I arrived home, I noticed that the light in my room was on and that probably meant that Ivy and Violet got home safe. I sighed slightly before look at Luke who walked me all the way here.
"Do you live close by? Why don't you get a ride back to your place?" I asked him. He looked up sadly but answered none the less.
"Yeah uh, I just realized that I live a couple blocks down, I can just walk back." He said to me. I nodded my head before he looked at me smiling.
"I'll see you tomorrow at school?" He asked. I nodded my head and smiled at him the best I could.
"Definitely! See you then!" I said, slightly waving bye. He nodded and started walking further down the street. I bit my lip as I watched him walk a few steps before stopping him.
"Wait!" I yelled from my front door. He turned around with a confused look as I ran up to him. My plaid skirt slightly shifting from me running so fast.
I grabbed his arm and pulled him closer to me, pecking his lips with my own. I felt my stomach knot up as my heart beat sped up and my head began to feel light. When we parted, his eyes where wide and he looked just as confused as before.
"You, did you just," He said pointing between me and him with his finger. I smiled at him before adding a wink.
"See you at school tomorrow Luke." I said smiling, pecking him on the cheek one last time before darting back to my house and unlocking the door. After rushing in without looking back, my back was directly on the door and I touched my lips while smiling happily.
"Wow." I said sighing.
