RavenAfter walking into the room Ava hugged me. I didn't understand why she was here, but she told me we needed a girl's night and we never got a chance to really talk. Sitting together she told me about Hawk and Doc. The brothers came in to check she was okay after Hawk insisted on a picture as proof. Which had us laughing.Other than peeking their heads in a couple of times, the brothers have given us space. It's nice, I barely got to time with Ava recently."So, come on." She looks at me and I shrug."Come on what?" What does she want?"You and Grayson. Also Ashton and Emmett, what's happening?""The same as before Ava. I'm with them all." Nothing has changed."But after Grayson went missing, everyone thought you changed your mind?" I look at her confused. "You were a mess and kept saying Ashton and Emmett weren't Grayson. It made it sound like you loved him more."I stare at her shocked. "No! I would have been the same regardless of which one it was. Had it been Ashton I would ha
GraysonAfter speaking to my mum and her reassuring me that I'm in no way to blame for Ashton cutting Justin's fingers off and that she was wrong for what she said I leave and go back.Sitting I face them. "I need to know what was done and said." There's nothing I can do to go back and change it. So right now I need to know everything to make it look like I knew and agreed."Grayson you would have left it. We did what we thought was right." Emmett looks at me."Because Ruth is dead. Anyone else was nothing in. They may have helped move me, but they did nothing. Ruth is dead, that's enough." They won't understand."Which means Raven would always be at risk and we wouldn't have known." Turning I look at Ashton. He moves and places things on the table."Justin arrived at the same time as Raven. He's the dad of her ex, the one who Gary killed in the car.""What?" I stare at the table. How does he have these?"Look, had you left it like you planned you may have been safe but Raven would be
RavenSitting, I face them. Something tells me there's bad news coming. Then again, when is there ever not?"Okay, so we need to talk about a few things. First, I will explain what happened with Toni. You should know, you're living with us and family, so you should be told of these things." Emmett looks at me and I nod.Sitting I listen to what happened with Toni, and it is weird knowing that Ashton dealt with it. I listen to Ashton explain what happened in that room, and I sit shocked. I saw him as the baby, cute, and in some ways soft. But him explaining that Toni will wake up every morning without a few fingers scares me. Not what he will do to me, but that I won't see him as the baby anymore. I don't want him to think I see him as bad though.So I smile at him and try not to act differently. I watch as they all straighten."Now we need to talk about the guy who helped Ruth take Grayson." Emmett looks at me. "Do you remember anyone called Justin?" I consider his words and shake my
EmmettI watch as Raven walks away from us. Grayson's head falls forward onto the table."Fuck me." His words are quiet."Gray, that's what got us in this situation."I laugh at Ashton's words."Don't Ashton. This shit isn't a joke anymore." Grayson glares at him."When was it ever a joke Grayson?" I glance at him and laugh. "Now you're scared? Months later and it takes her getting pregnant for you to run scared?"I laugh and Ashton joins in."I'm not running scared." His words are quiet."Look, if Ashton can take it like a champ, joke about it, then you can. Suck it up, Grayson." I grin at him."That's because he's an immature prick.""Thanks." Ashton grins at him."You're all happy and cheery, you realise a baby means you're not the baby anymore? Not to mention, your cute face won't be cute as she will find the baby cute."I laugh at Grayson's words and Ashton pouts."You didn't realise that did you? No more cute baby Ashton." We all laugh, but really, what the fuck do we do now?"T
RavenWaking, I smile seeing Emmett. Slowly climbing out of bed I try not to wake him. Walking to the kitchen I get a drink. I feel lost, and I still don't understand how they can love me. My mum's words burn through me, reminding me I am unlovable. I feel arms wrap around me, and I don't need to turn to know it is Grayson."Are you okay Doll?"I nod at his words, turning in his arms I smile at him. His hand wraps around my neck, and his mouth slowly kisses my jaw."Now the truth, as you look like you're about to cry." He stays standing with his hand on my neck, looking at me and waiting."I was just thinking.""About?" He steps closer and it helps, I don't know how, but it helps relax me."Why do you three love me? Mum always said I was unlovable, but that changed to 'I would never be loved and only seen as a whore and useful for sex'."His eyes widen slightly."You still doubt that we love you?" I nod at his words. "Raven, look around you. How can you not see we love you?"Lifting m
Raven"Come on, lazy morning." Kissing me Ashton climbs out of bed. "I need coffee."Nodding I follow him through to the kitchen. Sitting on the island in the kitchen I watch as he makes coffee. It's strange, right now, if I watch him, he doesn't look like a baby or a child, he looks grown. It's only when he is with Emmett and Grayson I see him that way.Maybe because they are protective of him? He stops in front of me, kissing me he smiles. "I will prove to you every day cutie pie that I love you." His words are quiet as his lips press against mine. Groaning he grips my hips."I got some dirty thoughts, Ashton." My hand strokes down his body. "Don't you just want to fuck me?" His head falls forward.Smiling I push him back slightly, my legs opening more as I lie back. I smile as his eyes scan my body, now he will fuck me. I watch as he grips my hips, his head lowering and his tongue begins to tease me.I wanted Sex. I moan, pushing my hips up and closer to his mouth as his tongue mov
GraysonI know Raven will want to work. Alexa has already told me there are no positions that are not dancing. So I have an idea. Sitting I listen to them discussing it."Inside needs modernising Grayson. I checked the stage and platforms, and they could all do with work. It's been years since it was used, the wood is weakened." I nod and listen while drinking my coffee."There are leaks in the roof which contributed, but we can have the roof fixed in...One minute." He mutes himself and comes back. “A month, yeah a month." I nod and listen."Inside we need at least two months for well. As I said, it's all old and worn. It needs tearing...out." His words stop. "It needs restarting, no not restarting. Renovating." I sit confused, what is wrong with everyone?"Sorry Grayson, but you have some background noise." What? Taking off the headphones I hear Raven, hitting mute I turn and glare at them.“Really?” How fucking long have they been sitting there listening to them fucking? “I’m on a f
RavenI wake with the familiar feeling of Grayson's hand around my neck."Doll." Turning in his arms I look at him. "You need to do something, and you won't like it."I pout at him. "Can't I just stay in bed with you?" That's the better option and I don't even know what I need to do yet."No, because it's still early, so food, go spend time with Ava, and we will get work done.""So I need to get up, eat and see Ava?" He chuckles at my words."No, come on." He stands and pulls me from the bed. Standing behind me, his hand wraps around my neck as I face the drawers. "It's time to remove your last safety blanket, that final wall Raven."I stand confused, what safety blanket and wall? "I don't know what you mean Grayson."He chuckles and reaches down picking up a top. "Unpack the damn case, you're not leaving, you don't need it ready."Shit. I glance at it."You're staying Doll. You know you are, we know you are. So unpack, no more suitcase and box, unpack everything, this is your home."
