Chapter 5: 2 Different Worlds Same Position

Alice

I sat across from Aaron who hadn't touched his food for the past ten minutes, dinner is the worst part of my day and I know Aarons is as well, the room is always silent, the rings of our forks scrapping our plates is the only noise that speaks.

It's never a normal family meal, laughing asking about our day or even trying to show they care about us either then work, hell I would be surprised if Father even mumbled a word-

"Aaron, how's your shoulder?" Mother cleared her throat putting up her fake smile, Aarons's eyes meet mine across the table, I knew just by his slight smile and the shock in his eyes we thought the same.

A miracle just happened!

"Better, I should be back to school tomorrow" I smile and take a sip of water-

Thats when I nearly choked remembering who's the biggest talk at school right now, all their eyes were on me, especially Aarons.

He gave me a death stare while he stabbed the steak with his fork, crap he knows already.

Of course, he knows he's basically a celebrity!

"Alice cut it off that's not lady like" Father spoke through gritted teeth with a demanding tone that made my blood boil.
"Oh, I'm sorry I nearly choked on my water!"

"Alice!" Mother shouted while slamming her fork against her plate while the burn of me clearing my throat ached my neck,

"Jeez I'm literally choking on water and you're telling me to at lady-like! your insane!" I drop my fork and start making my way out of the dining room while I could overhear Father and Mother's shouts after me.

Can't they drop the royalty act for once?

Greyson

I slip on Jayne and Carson's earbuds and hide them behind my closet while angry tears slip from my eyes from their fear, "Stay here okay" I whispered running my hand down both their hair while they nod and held onto each other hands.

I shut the closet door and start pacing out my room making sure I lock it behind me, "Get off him!"

I overhear Conrad's shout along with furniture and glass being rumbled, out of the three of us I'm the best fighter and I know how to defend myself the best, but I'm also the kids' comfort brother, and trust me the most.

I ran down the stairs to be frozen in place, Mom was crying in the corner while holding onto a knife and crying and shouting at once,

while Liam was being pinned in a chokehold against the floor by Dad trying to fight him off, and Conrad was holding him in a chokehold, that's when Dad throws his shoulder behind his back and slams it against Conrad's nose.

He stumbles back onto the ground while blood starts dripping from his nose, without thinking I had pulled my blade from my back pocket and pinned it against dads throat, he instantly froze in place releasing his hold off Liam whose throat was already bruised,

"Get off him before I slice your throat off"
"Greyson!" Mom cried in the corner when I slip the end of the blade into his throat.

"Son drop the blade-"
"I swear to fucking god I'll kill you right here right now get the fuck up you motherfucker!" I shout with pure fury and hatred while more tears slip from my eye, and without hesitation, he stood up putting his arms in the air.

I then release him and shove him against the ground while helping Liam up from the ground, While I held onto Liam by the waist to steady himself up, Conrad dragged Mom away upstairs, Dad then stood up and ran a hand under his jaw while having a fucking smile on his lips.

This evil fuck.

I stared at him with disgust and hate, I only once threatened his life, and that was when he tried slapping Jayne across the face for deciding to sit on the couch, but this time he took it too far, he hurt my brothers and my mother.

and if I hadn't had full control, I would have actually killed him without a throat, "Get out" I demanded through gritted teeth, when he doesn't move, and start pacing up to him, but like the coward he is he hides behind the couch, "Get the fuck out!" I roared while my voice cracked.

He lets out a laugh and bites down on his lip before nodding, maintaining eye contact with the actual fucking devil staring back at me, "I'm proud of you son-"
before he could finish his sentence I drop my blade and punch him across the face, I then jump up on the couch and throw another punch.

He drops to the ground while I throw punch after punch, "Get the fuck out you fucking-" Before I could finish my sentence Conrad and Liam had pulled me off him, "Hey come on man" Conrad shoves me back.

I take a deep breath as I watch Liam and Conrad pick him up by the shoulders and drag him from the living room toward the front entrance, I felt my anger suddenly disappear when they tossed him out the door and locked it behind them.

My anger had disappeared, but the guilt, hopelessness, and disappointment came back, Liam and Conrad start making their way toward me as they see me panting like a wet dog as I viewed my knuckles that were covered in his blood and bruised from the punches.

"It's not your fault, it's none of our fault," Conrad tried comforting us, I hate being comforted maybe because we all three have no idea how to comfort someone, but we try too if it's by making jokes about the situation or by not even speaking just hearing them out.

"I'll check up on Jayne and Carson" I glance between them both
"I'll check up on Mom" Liam cleared his throat but it was obviously painful for him.
"And I'll make dinner" Conrad sighed.
