My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 5

I get up and put on my outfit which was a pair of white ripped skinny jeans and a baby pink sweater. I put my hair in a messy bun and slip on my converse. I put a little bit of make up to look a bit more presentable.

I go downstairs and find Dylan, John and Mom sitting in the kitchen having breakfast. I join them absolutely hyped up while all of them look at me with their half asleep faces.

"What's hyping you up that much at 8 in the morning?" Asks John.

"It's Friday?" I say in confusion. "The last day of the week..!"

"Calm down Lu," Commands Mom in all seriousness. What's up with them? Everyone is hyped up every Friday! No matter what time it is, we're always going crazy.

"Why are you guys so up tight today?" I ask. Dylan looks at me and gives me the shut up look. I return a what  look to him.

"I'm leaving." Informs John. He just left. He usually kisses mom before leaving and kisses our foreheads and throws a 'dad joke' before leaving, but this time he didn't do any of those.

"You're gonna tell me what's going on NOW." I say banging my hand on the table at the end of my sentence.

"I'm gonna be late for work," Said Mom completely ignoring what I just asked her. She left the house slamming the front door angrily while I just sat there with my questions unanswered.

"I'll tell you later." Said Dylan not too long before gesturing me to get up to head outside. I want to know whats happening like this is not a regular fucking family morning in MY family. We always laugh and make jokes and all..but today? This is worrying.

We went outside and Emilio was there in his car waiting for us. I got in and sat in the back.

Emilio's POV:

They both got in and like always, Dylan sat beside me and Luna sat in the back. I was expecting Luna to start a hype conversation like every Friday, but she didnt. I was expecting her to start annoying me but again she didnt. She had an upset look on her face I saw her in the mirror reflection playing with her fingers looking down.

"Everything ok, Luna?" I ask to make sure shes fine because I really hate it when she's upset.

"I'm waiting to know." She replies. I'm kinda confused now, even Dylan looked off.
"Dylan what's wrong? You said you were gonna tell me." She asks leaning forward between the two seats.

"Not now, Luna." Dylan replies not looking at her. "DYLAN TELL ME NOW!" She yells. I can tell she was really mad. Something upsetting was going on that Dylan didn't want to share. But what is that thing?

"Luna, no. I'm not telling you now stop." He replied while locking his phone. "Guys please stop arguing we barely started the day," I decide to speak up to stop it. Luna goes and adjusts herself in the back while Dylan just scrolled through his phone.

We arrive at school and I park my car. Once I get it parked, Luna opens the door and leaves the car still having a mad expression on her face. She slams the door and throws her book bag over her shoulder and enters the building.

"Bro what's going on?" I ask Dylan.

"Mom and John are getting a divorce." He answers keeping his head down. "Don't tell Luna." He says before opening the door and leaving.

This is fucked up.. Luna doesn't know? But they were just fine a couple of days ago! What happened now?

Luna's POV:

I enter the building still mad and drowning in my own thoughts of what is my family hiding from me and why they're hiding it from me.

As I walk to my locker something snaps me back to reality, like crowd noise. I look up and see the bitch, Claire, picking on Kaitlyn. I stood there thinking of what I should do but then Claire shoves Kaitlyn to the lockers' direction making her fall.

OH HELL NAH SHE DID NOT JUSY DO THAT.

I run up to her and stand right in front of her face giving her a death stare. She was wearing her usual slutty clothes, a strapless white crop top- extremely tight, with a really short red skirt and like a 20 inch heel. (Note the exaggeration.) And obviously, her face was beaten up with makeup.

"Touch her again and you won't like it." I said.

"Oh so now you're threatening me?" She said in her bitchy tone. "Go help your friend you nerd."

"At least I'm smart. Unlike you, you're 19 and you've repeated this year like what, 3 times?" I only speak the truth.

"Bitch." She said while gasping.

"At your service." I simply replied. She looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "Well, at least you're more decent than that.." She motioned her arms in Kaitlyn's direction "whatever she is. You have a family not like her, her dad slept with a prostitute." She said and laughed with all of her mates.

I was tempted to punch her.

But I slapped her instead.

She held her cheek in pain not too long before her and her mates walked towards the bathroom. I ran to Kaitlyn who was now standing beside her locker crying quietly.

"Kaitlyn don't cry because of a bitch," I said comforting her. "I'm fine..lets just go to class." She said and I wrapped an arm around her as we walked to class.

A lot of people think I'm a lesbian just because I care so much about Kaitlyn, but like..we're best best friends! It's normal bruh.

We got to class and sat down. The class began and Kaitlyn and I took down the important notes. We suddenly hear the door open and clicking sounds entering the class. Without even looking behind me, I knew it was Claire.
