Ajax was currently in the shower, and I was staring out the window at the roof. I guess Tyler wasn't lying when he said he's been watching me.

A part of me was hoping he'd run away, maybe even find a new love interest. I truly didn't want to be the Louis to his Lestat.

Another part of me was wishing that Thornhill lady or whatever her real name is, would've just left Tyler alone. He would've stayed normal, and things would continue as they used to.

Now he's out here stalking me, and who knows who else. Probably anyone I interact with.

I ball up my fist in frustration, I just want to move on naturally, not be forced to wait for his next move, unaware of where he's hiding or lurking.

I release the tension in my fist and take a deep breath, trying to calm down. If I can't be completely calm for myself, I'll be calm for Ajax.

I sit on the edge of his bed, waiting for him to be done in the shower.

Not long after he walked out of the bathroom, and with a quick nod I knew we were ready to head to our first class.

---------In their first class.

I sat in my usual chair, beside Enid who seemed completely out of it today. She was zoned out, staring into the distance with not a thought spread across her face.

It made me curious as to what could've happened with her. But I didn't question it as the teacher began speaking about plants I had no interest in. Today we were supposedly learning about the Venus Flytrap and all the different things about it, but I couldn't bother to listen as one of the other students in this school of whom I've never met comes running in looking for me.

"Is there a Grimm Elwin in this class?!" the girl shouts, to which I sit up and look at her, curious and confused "That's me? What's going on?"

And the next three words that flew out of the girls mouth made me feel sick

"Grimm...your mother..." she trails off, a look of pity spread across her face. "Mrs. Marsh sent me to get you"

My eyes well up. "This isn't some sick prank right?" I mutter out

She shakes her head no. Then a hand was placed in mine for support, the person holding my hand being Xavier.

"Come on, let's get you out of here and to Marsh, alright?" He whispers to me, as my vision starts to become clouded by tears that I attempt to wipe away as we make our way out of the classroom.

Xavier kept whispering little things to me to try to keep me calm, occasionally squeezing my hand to reassure me he's here for me.

I eventually stopped walking, which forced him to stop as I let go of his hand and engulfed him in a hug, sobbing into his shoulder as I held on to him tightly.

Xavier reciprocated the hug, rubbing my back lightly. "I'm sorry" he whispered as he placed little kisses on my head. "I'm really sorry Grimm"

I wanted to say something, tell him it isn't his fault. I don't even know how she... but I couldn't get a single word out. All's I could do was nod and attempt to slow these pathetic tears trailing down my cheeks.

Xavier half smiled at me as we pulled back from the hug and continued on our way to Mrs. Marsh's office.

Once we arrive at her office, I stare at the door. Unsure if I really want to walk in there. I take a deep breath and look at Xavier.

He nods and smiles at me slightly. I attempt a smile back before opening the door to her office and walking in, Xavier waiting outside of the door for me.
