I sigh, getting up from seth and going to the door, looking back at him.

"You coming?" I mumble, not wanting to face them alone, I know that I've known my brother my whole life, but part of me just wants to run away and never see any of them again. As selfish as that sounds.

Atleast I found out they aren't strippers now.

He nods, sitting up and walking with me to the living room, where jace is sat with Lana laying against him, deep in sleep.

On the other sofa is grey, sat with his chin resting on his palm, not moving his gaze from the floor.

"Jace?." I murmur, slightly embarrassed by my overreacting in earliers episode, but it was just a shock. Finding out my brothers basically a murderer. Anyone would be scared.

He sits up slightly, looking at me and sending a soft smile, being careful not to move too much in case he wakes Lana, also someone who I need to have a long talk with. Maybe this is why she reduced her shifts at the cafe.

"You okay?" He sighs, tapping the sofa beside him, signalling for me to sit, I just nod. I feel so guilty being like this to him, but the words just won't form from my mouth.

"don't say anything Lou, just know that this doesn't change anything. I still love you like I always have, and I'll still always be  your big brother okay?" He says, and again, I nod. I don't know what to say.

Before I even can open my mouth, I notice jaces eyes avert to seth, instantly a dark look spread across his face, maybe this wasn't the best time.

"The fuck are you doing here." He scoffs, clearly frustrated with his presence.

"Jace, long time no see." He chuckles nervously, slight fear streaming through his voice, and I look over to see him staring straight at my brother.

Greys been awfully quiet.

Slowly, jace moves lana off of him, resting her on the sofa as he stands up and walks towards seth.

"You have no right to be here. What do you want." He scoffs, getting real close to his face and clenching his fists.

"Jace, that's no way to talk to your old best pal, cmon man. It's been so long, how've you been?" He shrugs, playing it cool.

"We're not "pals" Seth. Not after the shit you pulled disappearing. You left us all, we coulda fucking died."

He could've died? No, what?

I look between the two, rage and fear engulfing the air and try to work out what's going on, what could seth have even done to possibly annoy my brother so much?

"Care to explain?" I mutter, and instantly feel both eyes on me.

"He disappeared midway through a job leyla. When we were struggling he just left. With no warning. He disappeared because he was too pussy to deal with the consequences." He grumbles, explaining his side of the story and I sigh.

"Jace.. it was my fault." I say, looking down and feeling slightly embarrassed.

"What?" He replies.

"Seth had to leave because of me. It was my fault." I repeat again, he shouldn't have to take the blame when it was because of my neediness that we got caught in the first place.

We all sit, and I explain the situation to jace, hiding a few of the um well, private details, but including everything else that was important, and after a while we come to some sort of agreement. Jace and Seth are somewhat getting along. Yet Grey still hasn't said a single word to me. He hasn't even looked in my direction, and it's breaking part of me.

It's making me feel like a piece of me was just torn off, what could make him suddenly change like that? Did I do something to make him ignore me?

Authors note
This is kinda a filler chapter, idk what rlly to write but I'm starting to get into it😭

Sorry it's so short!

My baby grey, his heart has been shattered into a million pieces, yet nothing has actually recently happened between seth and leyla.

Do you want leyla to date seth?
