I hated to leave the apartment after having Katie walk out on me in need of 'air.' I'm not sure if she realized how obvious she made it that she in fact didn't need air but space. From me.

What had I done? Well, besides lying to her you idiot.

Now I'm six feet deep in a hole meant to hide a body. A body of a person I assisted in killing. To make it all in sum, I'm pretty fucked for the future. As if it wasn't already that way from the day I was born into this goddamn family. 

I love my sibling, but cant say the same for my parents or continuing family tree with the last name Valor. It's more of a fucking curse if anything. 

The thought of my recklessness fuels the last force in me to throw dirt out of the grave above ground. I grunt, tossing the shovel up along with the flashlight I'd set down behind me to see through the rippling weak light of the midnight sky.

"Gray, toss him down." When I don't get a response from Grayson I sigh. The final moments before he shot Trevor were excruciating to watch. He broke down, the pain of losing his child finally crashing down the last bit of his stability. I'd never seen him break down like that before, and to be honest, it terrified me the way he beat up Trevor as he took out his anger. 

Seeing your brother turn that vile and immoral is disruptive.

My dirt-covered hand meets my face, followed by it brushing my tousled hair back. "Gray c'mon we both have girls to get back to..." You can hear Grayson snap back into reality, shuffling with a sniffle. 

Grayson grips the long black bag with Trevor's body, lowering it down into the grave. Once I grab hold of it Gray lets go allowing the weight of the limp body to plummet against the rooted ground. I curse when the sack knocks me against the dirt wall."Fuck," 

After we toss down the rest of the items Trevor had on him Grayson helps me out and we start shoveling the dirt back in, not before pouring acid on the body to help it decompose and bury our tracks. 

We get back in the car and drive off of the land we've buried the sick son of a bitch. Peacefully might I add considering I planned this entire burial on a property belonging to none other than himself. Who the fuck would look there?

The still quietness of the ride back to Grayson's place erks me to the point of madness. I finally break the silence with the clearing of my throat. "I had Rose erase any living evidence of our connection to the Jones family. They won't be poking around for information from us.
