I will try to update as much as i can
Chapter 2
It was two in the morning, and Sarah lay in her bed staring at the roof. She couldn't sleep. After constantly tossing and turning, she decided to go speak to Jake. Sarah would normally do this if she couldn't sleep, so would Jake and Mike. It was their thing. She would never really go through and wake up Mike basically just because he was a few years younger than her and he needed his sleep, but she was always happy for him to come see her.
Sometimes they would even end up sleeping in one and other beds. They would sometimes plan their own little sleepovers, that once their mom and dad had gone to bed they would all sneak into one of their rooms, and watch scary movies. Then they would sneak downstairs and have midnight feasts, which would normally consist of ice cream and chocolate. Then the next morning everyone would wonder what happened to the ice cream and chocolate, but they would never admit, that they took it.
Sarah tip toed out of her bed and headed directly across the corridor to Jake's room. She gave a little knock and then slowly and carefully opened his bedroom door, before peeking her head round to find Jake and Mike sitting on Jake's bed.
"Whatsup" Jake asked, as Sarah walked towards his bed.
"I couldn't sleep," replied Sarah.
"Me neither" exclaimed Mike.
"Well that makes three of us" added Jake, " I was really looking forward to the big skate off later this month".
"Me too" mike stated, and Sarah nodded in agreement. The three of them sat in silence for several seconds.
"What's up with you Sarah, you didn't have much to say about going back to the lake the other night," Jake asked.
"I know" Sarah said in a faint whisper.
"Is it Elliot" Mike said, hoping that his sister wouldn't bite his head of for asking. Sarah nodded.
Sarah and Elliot had broken up about a month ago, but Sarah kept it to herself. It wasn't until one night, about 3 weeks ago at dinner, when Mark made a remark about her and Elliot that Sarah announced to they family that they had broken up the previous week.
Jake couldn't believe that his sister had kept this from him for a week. They told each other everything; after all they were best mates. Even though she put on a brave face and pretended she didn't care, Jake could see through it. He tried comforting her about it but she just pushed him away. All she ever told him was that they had broken up because it was too hard having a relationship through phone calls, so Elliot finished it. Jake could tell Sarah was hurt, after all Elliot was her first love, but she would never admit it, instead she would just cry herself to sleep and keep it all bottled up inside.
"It's just well… if you told me a month ago we were going back to the lake I'd of been over the moon, but now it's the last place on earth I'd want to go" Sarah said it a gentle tone.
"Don't worry we're here for you" Mike said while giving his sister a cuddle. Sarah's eyes were beginning to water, but she really didn't want her brothers to see her cry.
"It's ok to be upset" Jake said rubbing his sisters back.
"Thanks guys. You know I can always depend on you, and next time anything ever happens I promise to tell you straight away". Sarah said this time letting a few tears run down her cheeks but luckily her brothers didn't notice as they were too busy giving her a cuddle.
"Me too" Mike smiled with tears in his eyes, as he realised the bond between the three of them was becoming stronger than ever.
"And me" Jake said also feeling the same way. Ever since Sarah and Jake could talk they became really close; they learned to ride a bike together, they learned to skate together, they learned to board together. Some people even thought they were twins as they were so close and looked really similar, both having light brown hair and hazel eyes.
When Mike reached about the age of three he started to copy Sarah and Jake and they then taught him how to skate and board. He too then started to become really close with them, and soon the three of them found themselves inseparable. Tom and Kate thought they'd grow apart over the years, but instead they just grew closer.
There was a stage last year when the bond between them was at it's weakest. It was when Sarah had started seeing Elliot, and she was ditching her brothers to spend time with him. To begin with Jake and Mike didn't think much of it, because they knew that once they got home from the lake, Elliot wouldn't be there so Sarah couldn't spend time with him, but instead when they got home she just spoke and spoke about him. This lead to Jake and Mike spending less time with Sarah, as they couldn't handle her always going on about Elliot. After a few weeks and a few arguments and many apologies they found themselves on speaking terms and soon best friends again.
