Jalen Hurts Brother Novels & Stories

"W-What..." My lips trembled. "What do you mean?" I gasped as I tried to decipher Rael's words. He smiled bitterly. "My brother had already ruined his life, baby..." His tears fell and my heart broke into million pieces. I pulled him closer to me and hugged him so tightly. He sobbed like a kid in my neck. He was whispering some words I could not even understand. I know that he was sad and angry about what his brother had done. Even I, myself, could not imagine that Ravnal had done such thing.

A flare of anger burned through my chest. “I didn’t.” Jace said, stepping forward. “But you need to calm the fuck down. You are moving too fast” “Hey…hey” Damir said, stepping in between us. “You’re my brother, you've been since we were five and I never ever want to see you hurt. What you and Dahlia are doing is not just hurting each other but the people around you. This is not to be taken likely. I swear I am concerned for you.”

“So what’s this big talk about?” Brady cleared his throat. “I’ve noticed some things lately. Between Alexander and Cassandra. They’ve been… really close.” Dad raised an eyebrow. “They’re stepsiblings living together for school. That’s good, right?” Alexander spoke up, voice steady. “We look out for each other. That’s all.” Brady’s eyes met mine. “It’s more than that. And if it keeps going, it could hurt the family.” Mom looked confused. “Hurt the family? What do you mean?”

I remember the dark, dangerous look on Killian's face yesterday, and how shocked he had been to find out that Damian had come to see me. Damian winces, his hand rising to rub at his bruised jawline. “Yeah. But it’s nothing, Dawn. Seriously.” I blink, staring at him. My gaze drifts back to his shattered jaw. Killian. Killian hit his own brother over this. “LJ,” I say softly, reaching out to touch her arm. “It’s fine. Give us a second.” LJ turns to look at me, her eyebrows shooting up. “Dawn, are you crazy? After everything?”

I hushed her, ran my fingers through her hair, and kissed the top of her head. “You don’t have to tell me, Lee. I know how hard it is to share. It hurts no matter how long ago it was. It still reminds us of the people we lost. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry that you have to go through that.” “When he noticed Caleb was looking at him, he shot my brother instead of that man.” A gasp escaped my lips. Jesus Christ. I couldn’t even begin to imagine a ten-year-old girl watching her brother shot. I shut my eyes closed.

But that was his fault—too much of a coward to confess. J: I can go with you. V: Whoa. Well, well. Look who finally found a backbone. I shot off a teasing text to J, just to rile him up. There’s nothing better than getting under my brother’s skin. L: Finally grew a pair, huh? J: Shut up. After what you did, I won’t let Kylie get hurt again. I had been waiting for him to show some spine. L: Took you long enough. Proud of you, little bro.

He spent another year preparing, but this time the result was even worse—his score didn’t even register. When Xerxes came back to the village, he sneered at my brother, pointing at him with mockery in his eyes. "Well, if it isn’t our golden boy! Two years and still can’t get in. What a joke!" Something inside my brother snapped. The kind, gentle boy who had been my pride turned into a shadow of himself. He became erratic and wild, even fighting pigs in the pen for scraps of food. My parents cried themselves to sleep every night. The family’s savings were drained in desperate attempts to treat him, leaving us buried in debt, but nothing helped.

“He’s just a jerk who thinks he can do whatever he wants.” I could have told them the truth, told them the extent of the damage Aklan Draven had done to my family four years ago but I knew better, I had to keep my pain in, to feed on it. I could not let these two good hearted girls convince me to heal and mourn my brother’s loss by living a happy and full life. There could never be fullness in my life without my brother’s smile. A smile Aklan stole from me.

”D-Damien, help me.” Intimidated by Joel’s twisted face, Nicola quickly hid behind Damien. Joel turned around to glare at his brother. “Damien, I really didn’t expect this from you. It’s heartbreaking. We’re brothers! I’ve given you everything you wanted since we were young, and this is how you repay me? You’re a monster!” “B*stard! How dare you do something disgraceful like this? Have you no shame?”
