RavenI wake for what feels like the tenth thousand time and I’m in Grayson’s arms still. I vaguely remember constantly waking up screaming after the nightmares, Grayson telling me I was fine, and then I was running to the toilet. Last night wasn’t as bad though, I had nightmares twice, but I wasn’t sick. Somehow it wasn’t as bad as the first night.“How do you feel?” He looks at me waiting.How do I feel? “Lost.” That is all I feel right now.“Do you think you could eat, even something small?” He looks at me and I nod. “Okay, I got Ashton to bring in some of your stuff, so if you have the energy, get a shower, change clothes and such.” He points to the chair and walks out.Moving slowly, I get out of bed and walk to the chair, grabbing the things I go into his bathroom. I feel weak, too weak. Getting showered I dry and get dressed, brushing my teeth and hair. I feel more like me, the me before I drank to hide things, and it’s scary.Standing I look in the mirror and fight back the te
AshtonI know she won’t do it. She will make it look like she is but won’t. Walking back through I sit down, and finish my drink. Taking out the phone I hit send on the message and the door opens a moment later. I watch Grayson walk in and sit at the table with me.He knows, poor Emmett has no idea though.“How’s she been?” Grayson looks at me and I smile.“Great! We were just playing some poker, and she ran off for a bit of alone time.” He knows what I mean.“I’m going to my room.” Emmett walks past us.“Why’s he grumpy?” I look at Grayson.“I’ll explain later, so your text was vague, what the hell is going on?” I smile and he stares at me shocked.“What the fuck?” I laugh hearing Emmett shouting.“Do you mind? I’m busy, close the door.” Raven’s replay has us laughing, I watch as Emmett walks through. His eyes come to us as we sit laughing. Shit, she did it?“You’re kidding? You fucking knew?” He stands shocked.“I told her to, it was a dare. To be fair, I thought she would go lie in
RavenI have already noticed Ashton reads my signs, so I used them to trick him and it worked. He looks so shocked that I won again. I can’t help but laugh.“At least you didn’t lose entirely Ashton.” I grin at him and turn to Grayson. Okay, so now a dare for him? After Ashton had me dance on Grayson, Grayson got his own back and had me dance for Ashton. He clearly thought it would taunt him but Ashton like a champ relaxed back and just enjoyed it.“Well, come on?” Grayson looks at me waiting.“I dare you to strip…” My words are stopped when he says fine. “Woah, slow down there, I wasn’t finished. I want you to strip while dancing for me, by strip I mean everything.” He stands shocked, he was about to pull off his top and is now standing still. I think I won, he won’t agree, so I win.“Fine.” His word shocks me, Ashton and Emmett laugh as the music begins, and they are looking like I fucked up, why? Even if he agrees, he will be embarrassed and unable to. Grayson dances in front of me
EmmettAfter Grayson chased Ellie and Raven stormed off I went to my room. Sitting with the guitar, two hours later the door flies open and I don’t even bother to turn.“He’s dead.” I turn shocked, my eyes on Grayson.“I said not to fucking kill him, Grayson!” Why does he always go too far?“He tried to stab you.” His words don’t help. Yesterday we left after someone complained Darren had kicked off. Showing up he flew at me with the knife. He didn’t get to me, there were too many people, and he ran. I told everyone to let him run.“He didn’t succeed, he didn’t even get close Grayson. You need to think before you act.”“I did, he mentioned Ellie. When I didn’t react and told him he was still gone from the city, he threatened Mum. I still didn’t Emmett. I knew he wasn’t a big enough threat, I made sure they threw him out of the city only to get a call that they found him hiding in Mum’s office.”Shit. “Is she okay?”“She has no idea. She barely has any power, Emmett, so attacking her w
RavenI watch the Caddel brothers. Grayson quickly disappeared with Ellie, walking up I watch which room they go in. They can stop me, I can stop them. I stand and consider my move.Not long after, Grayson walks out and fastens his trousers, I watch him walk downstairs. Moving, I walk into the room and see Ellie, turning she looks at me. Her hair is a mess, and her lipstick is smudged. Okay, so make her see nothing happened, but taunt her into fucking a random guy?“I’m sorry if I hurt you, Ellie.” I smile at her and she shrugs.“You didn’t.” Her words are sour.“Clearly, as you two seem to be doing great.” I laugh and she glares. “Look, I know he likes you. I just wanted you to know nothing happened. We didn’t fuck, he only fucks you.”She laughs at my words. “He doesn’t fuck me.”I stare at her confused.“Okay, we do, but rarely. It’s been a month. I get he pushes me away, I get people see us together and will see me as a way to hurt him. Pushing me away is one thing, everything is
RavenThe party goes well, but many avoid me, those who don't, however, appear to not want to touch me through fear of the brothers. I will find a guy to fuck. I dance with some of the people and before long I spot a guy who is too drunk to care.Walking over I dance with him, his eyes look at me and he seems to be considering if it's worth it. He looks around, unable to see the Caddel brothers and it seems to be enough to reassure him as his hands begin touching my body. "I'm not sure." He looks at me and around us again."I'm not their girl, they don't own me. It's all just a game." He nods and smiles."Raven, are you sure you should do this?" I look up at Jasper. "The brothers warned everyone you were theirs."I laugh at his words."I'm no one’s." I turn back to the guy I was dancing with and kiss him. He doesn't stop me."What he said?" He looks at me while pointing to Jasper."Can you just claim a woman is yours? Trust me, I'm not theirs, I'm not even family." I pull him to me an
I had watched as Raven practically skipped out of that party. She had looked so pleased with herself. Rage burned through me, but I couldn’t do shit, something about her immobilises me, any other woman I would have made pay, but not fucking her. Ellie tried to defend her actions, which made me feel angry. I've not once fucked anyone else while with Ellie, so her claiming she thought I had infuriated me more. Then she claimed I used her, that I took pleasure and never gave anything back. When l asked about what we did this morning, after I chased her and caught up with her, she quickly shut up knowing she had lied to Raven.Still, I was pissed at Raven. Sure I stopped her and Jasper, but that was me being nice. So, after fucking off Ellie, I sent out a warning. She thought I was blocking her before, I had to prove I really could.Then, well, things went downhill and fast. Getting back before Emmett, I walked straight to the gym and began beating the bag.Less than five minutes later, I
RavenAfter ten minutes of silence, I am bored. So, I jump up and begin looking around his room, this time, really looking and paying attention. I ignore the drawings and look at other items. His room is tidy, other than the massive amount of drawings scattered around. I open a drawer and glance through it."Raven, if you're hoping to find something fun anywhere in here, you're looking in the wrong places." His voice is laced with amusement, and I shrug, something fun would be great, but I just want to look through his things. Stopping at the cupboard I pull the door open seeing the clothes moved and the safe. The door is open, I glance inside and smile then back at him."Why do you have a safe in your cupboard behind your clothes?""Why do most people have safes?" His words are quiet but he doesn't look up from the laptop. I smile and look through the things, money, jewellery, and photos. Drugs? I turn and look at him, alcohol, a lot of alcohol. I stop when I see the handcuffs, picki
