Chapter 16 - Caught!_16

Julian Max my brother!

Stood there gawking at us as we stared back at him in astonishment....

I couldn't believe he was here. I stood there gawking at us as we stared back in astonishment we couldn't believe he was here. I couldn't believe that he was right in front of me, he was not supposed to be here for at least a day or two more. That would give me time to sort things out, Julian just stared at us looking puzzled and confused.

I pulled Lu Jinyu's arm yanking it out and we both sprinted away as I kicked the door close and as soon as Julian ran to open the door running out on our porch we were already quite far out I looked at him apologetically as we ran.

We ran till our chest's were moving up and down rapidly.

We ran till we were gasping for air uncontrollably.  

We ran till...we were far away from my house that I could barely see it in the distance.

We stopped as I realised I was holding his hand which was soft and warm... I released it awkwardly avoiding eye contact heaving for air. I collapsed on the floor staring at the pink ruby skies mixing and blending with each other creating a beautiful colour. The clouds drifted birds tweeted and chirped to the melody of my drumming heartbeat.

I wished in this serene moment that I could just go back into the past like last time but sometimes its just better to face what challenge awaits you in the present or is it?

I didn't know him well and only trusted him because of the bracelet, but now I really wonder if he knew my dad...

Ughhh life liked to take twists and turns so that it can make you feel hopeless. I wondered for a second why I had to go through all of this because of one guy I barely knew at all..

I stopped clouding my head with thoughts and looked at Lu Jinyu who was also on the floor his head dropping with sweat as he stroked his hair I cringed what was this seductive trickery he looked so why do I look like someone threw water on me touching my sticky wet hair that was now in thin strands, I silently vented in anger in my mind.

Jeez just what did this guy do to be so handsome like looking at him as if he was a math equation as he glanced at me with the lost-cute-puppy look.

"So...um that was your brother right? You both look very similar he looks like a nice fellowng ha..ha."

He smiled at me reassuringly, I nodded before saying in a tired voice, "Well... Ya thats my brother I don't know when he came back but I don't think my brother would let you stay he's rather protective..."

There was quietness but then Lu Jinyu responded honestly, "Well thanks anyways I don't think I would ever trust anyone I just met I mean what if I'm dangerous!" He laughed.

I smirked muttering quietly, "well I don't think your dangerous your like the most harmless guy ever you orobably wouldn't be aby to harm an ant..."

Then he looked at me with those amazing snowflake-coloured eyes of his, "I heard you y'know and I can be very dangerous Irene Max thats the exact reason why people don't mess with me it's proving how I beat in you that game. ha!" I knudged him as he laughed.

Hmmmmm I guess I made a great friend y'know I don't regret taking him with me who knew he would turn out to be such a nice person and slightly crazy (remembering the time he nearly got caught stealing)...

We walked back in q more uplifted mood.

Julian was sitting outside when he saw us he ran and immediately grabbed my hand pulling me beside him I stared at my brother who ,was a head taller than me, looked like he wanted to swallow me.

"Brother you see he is my best friend I know him from Cyber Messages... y'know that app when you talk to random people I've been messaging him for so long..." I said managing a straight face I was pretty skilled at lying, "Well you should've told me before hand Ive never seen you be so...friendly to a boy befpre you were always the tomboy version of an ice quee-"

I smacked his arm in irritation this boy was trying to embarrass me as I crossed my arms.

Lu Jinyu and my brother both laughed I looked at them as if there were script in my hands and they were not saying the written lines, this was not how it was supposed to go why the hell was I a laughing stock now...

I plastered my hand across my brother's talkative mouth giving him a life-threatening look.

My brother looking slightly interested, "Is this your first meeting?"

I gave a quick glance at Lu Jinyu who seemed distracted by a nearby butterfly fluttering it aqua wings around him as I snorted in my mind he was popular with girls and insects wow.

"I have met him quite a lot of times now ha hes super nice I told I woulld show him the mini robot doll I made ha..." With a fake smile he nodded then my brother cackled with a wide grin on his face, "Haahahahahhah HAH you realy-pfft haha....Y-you really think I fell for that what is this huh?

A movie!

Sister stop lying both of you inside now then you can explain why my bed and my clothes look used..."

I looked at Lu Jinyu who looked slightly afraid at my brothers icy smile. We took slow small steps as we both headed inside,  my brother offered us a seat, "w-why did this feel like we are being interrogated by a policeman..."

Lu Jinyu nodded, "Yeah I mean even I feel slightly intimidated by his smile-"

He struck us a frightening look to keep silent.

"So both of you start explaining now while you still have the time!"
