Stepbrothers Raven Emmett: Worries
EmmettI left and went to see Hawk, we spoke, and I spent some time in his garage. It’s an excuse to hide away, something tells me when I return home tonight Raven will be gone. I know she is leaving Something tells me none of us will survive if she leaves, and as much as I want to shut my heart to her, it’s too late.Why would I give in, I told Grayson not to, and then I fucking did. I don’t want to go back, she changed us all for good, and we will fall down when she walks.“Hiding away won’t work.” I laugh and look at Diesel. “You realise whatever you are running from, if it happens you still feel the exact same, if not worse because it happened while you were hiding.”“I’m not hiding Diesel, I’m simply having a break.” Even I know that is bullshit. I want to hold her, refuse to let her go.“Well, what do you think? Grayson painted it, so it’s ready now.” I turn and look, watching as he pulls the sheet from the bike. I want to say it’s perfect for her, but it won’t be hers. She won’

EmmettI spend hours in the gym, and I can see Jason has questions. Normally I talk, but today I'm not. I don't want an opponent or someone to practice with. I need him, I need to finally be able to face him without being tied up.No matter how hard I kick or hit, It doesn't burn the feelings and hate that radiates within me. He's ruining my life again, and there is only one way to stop it. I need to face him, until I have I need to make sure everyone hates me.I go home after the gym, grateful that no one is in, grabbing my phone I go to work, but even Alexa can tell I can't concentrate and quickly sends me home. I don't though, home isn't somewhere I want to be.Home is somewhere I need to face them and I can't face them, I can't face the reality I need to hurt them. Stopping the car I look at the house and then walk into it, the music flooding through the rooms. I grab a drink, walk into the crowd of people and begin dancing. A few people are looking at me surprised, maybe because

AshtonWe had a feeling she would try to run, but this isn't running. This is self-destructing and not giving a fucking damn how much it hurts us. I thought I could survive with her running, but I'm not sure I can now.She didn't even seem to care when Emmett dragged the guy off her. I was ready for her to run, but not to do this. It threw me and I just stood silenced, and shocked. I felt like she had burned me alive, the jealousy clawing at me from the inside out. I walk in and grab a drink, sitting down, Grayson following me."Try to stay calm Ashton." Turning I look at him shocked. "Emmett has already flipped, I have myself in some ways if we keep acting like that she will run. We will push her and she will run.""She is running anyway Grayson. Her trying to fuck a guy is proof of that." He's a fool if he doesn't realise."You fucked someone yourself Ashton at the start."I nod. "Difference is that was at the start, not fucking now." I hear the door open and we don't speak, we watc

RavenI wake alone, the memory of yesterday and last night in my mind. I don't want to get out of bed, my body is unwilling to move because it knows what I am going to do. Yesterday was awful; I drank far more than I had before, and while it helped, it quickly stopped when I saw the brothers.Getting showered and ready, I sit with my phone. My eyes looking at the messages. They just confirmed I need to leave now and not later. He seems so set on making me hurt, and this time, it's different. It's as if he can see I love them. He never got this descriptive before, he is jealous and angry, and those feelings are aimed at the brothers. Placing the phone in my pocket, I grab my case and ensure I have what I need in it.Standing by the door I suck in a breath and walk out, getting closer to the living room they turn and look at me."Raven, don't!" Grayson looks at me."I have to.""No! You fucking don't Raven, you have a choice, no one is making you walk out of that damn door!" He stands u

EmmettStanding, I watch her leave and hear Ashton cry. Turning, I walk to him. "Get up!""I'm sorry." His words are quiet as he cries."Get the fuck up, Ashton! Do not let her do this to you. You deserve fucking better, now get your ass off that floor and stop crying." I feel Grayson pull me back."Don't be a fucking asshole! Look at him, Emmett, he is in fucking pieces." I turn back and see him shaking and crying. She doesn't deserve his tears, out of everyone she doesn't deserve his. Walking out, I go into my studio, pick up the guitar and play, but my mind won't stay silent. Screaming, I smash it, slowly breaking everything in the room until I fall to my knees and cry.She left us. She walked out like it didn't even touch her, like walking away from us wasn't painful. Screaming, I hold myself and cry. I knew I should never have let her in, I shouldn't have trusted her.Just like everyone in this life, she left. No one ever stays.AshtonI'm to blame, somewhere along the road, I fu

RavenI begin the drive back to the apartment, stopping when my phone vibrates. I look down and see Emilia's name. I wonder if she knows?Raven, do you have a bit of spare time? I need to talk if you're free.Their mum is too nice, had it been my own or similar I would have said get fucked, but I can't. So instead I drive back to the house, stopping outside I watch the door open. Walking over she hugs me and smiles. She looks happy, so maybe she doesn't know I left them? I sit down and she hands me a glass.We sit in silence for a while and I wonder what she wants me for. Would she really be smiling so much knowing I had essentially just ripped her sons' hearts out?"Raven I thought you realised running saves no one?" She knows, of course, she does. I fight back the tears and look at her. "You're hurting yourself more than anyone. I can guarantee you, that the only person winning right now is him.""I'm sorry." I need to apologise because I hurt her sons so god damn much."You don't n

GraysonWe walk back through and sit down, I don't know where the hell to start. I know what I want to say but I can't, not with Ashton around. So that will come later."I'm sorry. What I said was awful, you were not just someone to pass the time Ashton. I'm sorry I made out like you were the bad guy Grayson, like you were making Ashton and Emmett bad, that was wrong. I needed you all to hate me so walking away would be easier."She looks at us."Why run? You had just agreed, so why the fuck agree just to run after?" Emmett looks at her."I agreed, that morning felt great, I agreed because I wanted it. Then the reality hit that me saying I wanted more and not just fun removed those barriers. The ones I have had up my entire life to keep people out. Then I saw his messages in my head and I realised I was going to hurt anyway, either by him killing you all or me leaving, I chose to leave."Her words make me smile, she wasn't running so much because of us being at risk, more she had fuck

RavenI smile at Grayson, happy with my joke that clearly had him freaking out."I agreed with Grayson if I am feeling like I should run or self-destruct in any way I will say. To all of you or just one of you." I look towards Emmett and Ashton.Ashton walks to the bed and throws himself down on it smiling. Yet Emmett is still looking at me like he wants to tell me to leave, and I can't blame him."I like you all a lot, which is why I felt like I needed to run. I never stayed anywhere long enough to feel anything. This is actually the longest I have stayed in one place." Emmett glares at me, god he is grumpier than Grayson at times. I get it though, so maybe I should be honest.I smile at him, and his frown wavers slightly. "If I am honest Emmett, that night you came in and spoke to me, I had already known I wanted you. Since then I realised I fell in love with you, I was happy for you to push me away because it made me feel safer. Only you stopped, and that scared me."He stopped pus

Stepbrothers Raven Raven: Working Woman
RavenI face Aileen, my fingers tapping on the arm of the chair."I assumed it would be the brothers coming." She doesn't falter but I can see the worry in her eyes."Things changed. Just because they do not like hurting women, and look at creative ways to ensure rules are followed does not mean they are weak and can be ignored." I stop for a moment. "Me however, I have no issues with hurting women, and considering you ignored them, and mocked their attempts to solve the issue I figured I would help."I don't like her. Not just because she uses the fact they won't hurt her as a way to get away with shit, but she in general isn't a nice woman."So you plan to hurt me and get me to agree?" She laughs and sits back."I plan to see if you will listen, then go from there. They have tried Aileen, but your attitude has become worse. This is the fourth month of no payment."She sits quietly and I watch her, not moving. I know she expected me to come in with people, but I didn't. If I did she
Stepbrothers Raven Raven: His Pain
RavenI wake up hearing a bang and shouting. My eyes adjust to the darkness."All of them! Every fucking one is dead tonight." I stand hearing Grayson. Walking out, I see him going through his cupboard and grabbing guns."Grayson?""Go to bed Doll."My head shakes, why is he covered in blood?"I will burn it down with them in, I swear." He has the phone to his ear. Something happened."Go to bed." He shouts looking at me, and I glance around, looking towards the living room I see Emmett pacing. His eyes meet mine and I walk to him, his hands stopping me."What happened?""Nothing to concern yourself with tonight, go to bed." He kisses my cheek."No!" I glance down seeing the blood. "Emmett!""Now! If you get in my way, you’re starting the war." I turn hearing Grayson shout and walk out of his room, Emmett chasing after him."Grayson, think.""Fuck thinking, stay with him, Emmett." I watch him walk out and Emmett chasing him while telling him to stop. Turning I walk into the living and
Stepbrothers Raven Raven: Perfect Baby
RavenI can't believe I am eight months pregnant. For a while, I worked at the club, and it felt amazing. Slowly, I noticed Grayson talking to some of the guys there. He did what I did, ran and hid, so me opening the club and hiring those dancers that Ruth used meant Grayson couldn't hide anymore. I sat and watched him talk to them, something he admitted he didn't do after he left.Many are grateful for the escape from Ruth. Over the months working I learnt a lot from the men. Ruth didn't just use them and lure them in as children. She continued it in their adulthood as well.They had told her their deepest darkest secrets and she held it over them. So it was nice to see them finally free of that, I expected most to refuse the job, but many of them do enjoy it and are grateful to have a safe place to dance.It's been crazy, Grayson struggled to give me space, more through fear, but the city has learnt women are not weaknesses. Hawk and Doc I guess helped there, everyone knows that it
Stepbrothers Raven Raven: His Birthday
RavenI fall back onto Ashton hearing him laugh.“Don’t be a dick.” My words are quiet.“I can give you one if you wish?” Groaning my head shakes. “We warned you, Grayson hates being woken up.” He laughs and sits up carrying me to shower he holds me against him.“You’re all mean.” He laughs and looks at me.“Why Cutie pie? If I agree, I will make it up to you.” He looks at me waiting.“Well, I didn’t do anything wrong.” He looks at me amused. “Okay, I wanted to taunt and play and none of you saved me from the other.”“Why would I save you from them when you taunted me as well?” He looks at me amused.“Fine, Grayson cheated, I knew he had limited time and couldn’t go to the room. I never expected that though.” My head rests against him.“Don’t you like squirting?” I nod my head and he laughs. “Then why are you complaining as of yet there hasn’t been a complaint Cutie Pie.”“I feel like I lost, I don’t know what, but I feel like I lost.” He nods and pulls me closer.“You won, we fucked
Stepbrothers Raven Raven: Waking Them
RavenWaking, I am still in Ashton’s arms, my eyes notice the box next to the bed and I smile.“Morning Cutie pie.” His hand grips my ass.“Happy birthday.” He freezes. “You failed at hiding it, they told me.” I smile at him.“Wasn’t trying to hide it.” I laugh at his words. Moving, I roll over so I’m straddling him. “Although, I’m already loving this birthday.” His eyes go to my chest, and he grips my hips. Leaning over I pick up the box and feel his teeth biting my nipple.“Stop!” Laughing I pull back.“Well don’t shove them in my face then!” He laughs.“I’m getting something, tell your mouth to behave.” Leaning over I grab the box his hands grasping my breasts.“You said nothing about hands behaving.”Laughing I nod and kiss him. His hands slide across my back before grabbing my ass.“You’re an ass kind of guy, right?” He seems obsessed with it. He nods laughing. “Well, happy birthday.” I hold out the box and he looks at it suspiciously.“I’m weird, and don’t do normal. So I though
Stepbrothers Raven Raven: His Present
RavenI watch Grayson walk away, Emmett kisses me and leaves. I stand and look at Ashton, I can see it, that look is back. I didn't even think, I should have thought. Walking to him I wrap my arms around his neck. "I'm sorry.""It's fine, cutie pie. Did you eat at all today?" He looks at me and I shake my head."Just breakfast." He pulls me into the kitchen and together we cook. I feel awful, I didn't even think. I just wanted to do it alone, and I knew Grayson wouldn't let me. Not that I can blame him, with how crazy I have been lately. After eating I pull Ashton to my room.Stripping, I walk to the bed and he stops me."Shower, you smell of smoke." Kissing me he turns me to the bathroom."Join me?" He stands debating it. "I've been alone all day Ashton." I watch him stand and walk to me, before pulling me into the shower. My head rests against his chest as the water flows over us."I won't ever leave Ashton." I peer up at him. "I promise, I will never leave you." His arms tighten ar
Stepbrothers Raven Grayson: Gone
GraysonI disagreed with her going alone. This isn't like she is going to see Ava, it's her mother's funeral. Yet the tone of Ashton's voice reminded me that I asked them to warn me.So I took it and left, even if I didn't think it was right for her to go alone. Part of me wants to leave and go there, but the thought of our mother beating me stops me. I know she is right, I ignored her warnings and made things worse. I honestly thought unpacking would be a good thing. Clearly, I was wrong."Hey." Turning I look at Emmett. "Big bear is here." I forgot about that."Deal with Emmett.""No, we deal with it. Don't go back to the person who gives orders Grayson or I will walk out and ignore everything you say." He stands looking annoyed."Fine." Standing I walk out, stopping I sit down and look at him."You said you wanted me to bring things here Grayson." He looks at me worried."It's fine, just not a good day that's all. Hand it here." I watch as he holds out the papers, glancing through
Stepbrothers Raven Raven: Goodbyes
RavenI wake alone, but don't get out of bed. Staying laid down I consider everything. I don't know what was wrong with me yesterday. I want to put it down to being pregnant, but I know that's wrong. I shouldn't have felt alone but I did, despite them being right there."Good morning beautiful." I smile hearing Emmett and watch as he climbs on the bed, kissing me he places the tray down. His mouth presses a gentle kiss on my stomach. "Morning little one." I stare at him and laugh."Food, talk, then you get ready for today." He grins and sits back and I watch Grayson and Ashton walk in and sit down."Fine with me.""Okay, first you have the doctor today. Just to check on you." Grayson states and I nod."That's good as I need the implant removing." He nods and glances around."Raven, today is your mothers funeral." Ashton looks at me. "It is your choice what you do, it's at eleven," Ashton explains."We will be with you regardless Raven. If you want to go we will be there for you." Gray
Stepbrothers Raven Ashton: Her Advice
AshtonI hear the door open. Sitting we don't talk, I want to go check on her though, which defies the whole point of her having space."Grayson Blake Caddel!" I smirk hearing our mum."It wasn't me!" He jumps up and I laugh."What did I say less than twenty-four hours ago?" She stands looking at him. Hell, she is more pissed off with him than she was me.He stands trying to look confused and shrugs his shoulders."I'm not blind, you know, so come on what did I say?""You told me not to force her to unpack the case." His words are quiet. Wait, I look at him, I thought Mum knew. He said she agreed."Grayson!" I stand up shocked."I thought it would fucking help! I'm sorry, I thought her unpacking would make her accept this is her home and relax.""You messaged and said Mum agreed it would help!""No, I told him it would be worse. That was her final safety net. Why ask for advice Grayson if you do the damn opposite?" She looks at him annoyed.I'm just glad it isn't me today. It's rare
