RavenI spend hours with Ava, sitting drinking and talking, I update her on everything that has happened. Minus the weird messages and gifts. That I won’t unload on her. I explained about the other night with Emmett, and then we sat for at least ten minutes dying of laughter when she realised that was what today's jokes were about.It's nice. I almost forget about all the shit that is waiting to explode. Yet, every now and then I see her looking at me and realise I have put her at risk. The longer I am her friend, the bigger that target becomes.I fall asleep with her, after hours of laughing and having fun. Only happiness doesn't follow in my sleep. I find myself reliving everything, screaming and trying to wake up from the nightmare.When I finally force myself to wake up, Ava is looking at me worried."Are you okay?" I nod at her words. "Really Raven? I'm your best friend, just tell me. Please.""I can't." She will hate that I have put her at risk."Raven, I'm your friend, how can
EmmettWaking I smile, today Raven celebrates her birthday even if she hates us for it. Walking out I make a coffee and sit, Ashton joining me."He seems to be sleeping for a change."I laugh at Ashton's words. Grayson rarely sleeps after six am, or before midnight. So for him to still be asleep after nine is strange. Then again, a lot has happened."No Ava?" I look around. I didn’t expect her to be one to sleep in."No, I’m guessing she is asleep. Her gifts are here. Alexa has things set up there. So tonight should be good." I nod to Ashton's words. Sitting we talk quietly, a short while later Grayson walks out of Raven's room.I look at him, he looks dead. He hasn’t slept, and based on his face he knows, and she spoke. He looks like he is carrying the weight of everything on him right now."She told you." It's clear from his face she spoke. He nods and sits down."She told me enough. Doesn't matter, for now, today we ignore it and concentrate on her birthday. Ashton go cuddle her wh
RavenWaking up next to Ashton was a shock. I was ready to punch him, the difference between him and Grayson is huge, so when I woke not feeling Grayson but someone else, my first thoughts were to hit the person.Luckily for Ashton, I noticed it was him. The way his hands possessively grasped my ass made me realise. He was smiling away at me, almost like he was up to no good. It was at that moment I heard my phone, and quickly turned it off without looking.I said good morning to him and walked to the shower, only to watch him follow, his eyes fixed on my ass as I walked to it. I couldn't help but look at him amused as he stepped into the shower with me. He teased my neck, telling me he was starved, before I had a chance to process his words, he was on his knees making me cry out with pleasure. Once he was satisfied with himself, he kissed me and left.I spent five minutes in the shower considering his actions, they were strange for him. Then, I turned on the phone. I wasn't expecting
GraysonHer small party went well. I struggled to work, my eyes constantly watching her dance and every time she was in certain lighting, I swear the dress went see-through and she had no bra. I didn't mention it, but looking at Ashton and Emmett, they clearly saw what I had.Just before leaving, I got a message saying her mum had arrived. I'm hoping it is a flying visit and she will be gone tomorrow. I’m hoping Raven tells her to fuck off, although I doubt it.We get back and Ashton and Emmett walk off, and I know that is them giving me space to tell her about her mum. I keep her hand in mine as I go to my room, and guide her to the shower."Your dress is see-through." I look at her, under this light I can see her fucking nipples."Is it?" She smiles at me."And you're not wearing a bra." My hand reaches up and grasps her nipple, a moan escaping her lips and I feel it harden under my touch."I tried telling you when you said to get ready, you told me to do it, so I did."Chuckling at
RavenI woke in Grayson's arms, his hand gently wrapped around my neck, holding me against him. I felt uneasy getting ready and sitting with Ashton, last night was still on my mind.I feel him nudge me and turn, his grin widens, and I laugh. Somehow, Ashton settles my nerves, his childish nature and jokes help me relax. I feel his mouth kissing down my neck, his words taunting me. Standing, I slip down my underwear and straddle him. His eyes widen and I laugh.“Cutie pie.”Leaning forward I lick his lips, my hands lifting my top and throwing it. As I lower myself on his cock he groans, grasping my hips and moving me so I grind against him. My moans begin to get louder, and his hand clamps over my mouth.It gives me the freedom I need, I begin to work my hips against him, watching his head fall back as he groans and enjoys me riding him. My body shakes and feels like electricity is shooting through it as someone grasps my hair, pulling my head back.Whimpering I look up and see Emmett.
RavenGetting cleaned up I walk back to them, and he appears again."I need to take you back home." I look at him confused, my eyes on them still eating. "I had a message, we need to leave and I am not leaving you here with them.""I will be fine." He stares shocked."Raven..." He sighs looking at me."Look, your mum is here. They are not going to act up with her here. I would rather not run away from this meal with your mum Grayson. She invited me around and I feel rude walking away halfway through.""Fine, we won't be long. Just don't leave." He walks back out and I follow, sitting down I watch as Grayson speaks to Emilia and they leave.My mum looking at me, and now I feel weird. I can't avoid their conversations. No matter how much I wish to, I can't. Ten minutes later my mum is telling Emilia about a holiday that never happened. Well, it did for her, not me. Although in her story I was there. I finish eating, and Emilia hands me a gift."I know my sons will have given you somethi
AshtonI follow Grayson back through to our mothers. We have no idea where she went, we came back to just Dave and Heather sitting together.As I step into the room I see Grayson punch him, his body flying back. Heather moves and walks to the door, my body stopping her."Oh no you don't, sit." Moving I push her into the seat and hear Dave screaming."I didn't do anything!" She looks at me screaming. I don't hit women, but this one I am tempted to. I hear Dave screaming again and the sound of one of his bones breaking."You made her cry." I snatch the envelope from her hand and open it, my eyes widening. "How do you have these?" I stare at the pictures. These aren't pictures the police would have, these are pictures he took."Gray!" I turn and look at him. His hands drop Dave on the floor and he walks to me. I pass him the photos, his eyes going to her."Where did you get these?"She looks at him and laughs. "If you really think you can work it out, I'm not telling you and you can't ma
GraysonWhatever happened has worn Raven out. I make Alexa aware she won't be at work, I don't need to warn her that Raven won't lose her job.Even if Raven wakes later, she isn't working tonight. The fact she passed out says she is exhausted and needs time out."Big bear wants us." I turn and look at Emmett. "He said whenever we're free. So maybe later? Take Raven with us if she is awake and she can see Ava?" He looks at me and I nod."Fine." I won't argue."Also, you won't like this, but I think she needs to see Jasper." Turning I glare at him. "Not to fuck, let her have friends, Grayson, even if it is a guy. You know Jasper isn't a threat. She needs more friends than just Ava."He's right, but Jasper being her friend means her going to parties, as that's all Jasper does. She has slowly cut back the amount she parties and drinks.Picking up my phone I have an idea, looking up the place, I hit the number and call through. I stand talking and watch as Emmett stares at me shocked. Ten
