October 19th 2019 (the day after Emily Laughlin died)
Grayson sat hunched on the floor of the treehouse, or what remained of it, anyway. Again and again, the same voice spoke to him. It's all your fault. It's all your fault. And it was true. He had killed Emily Laughlin. Jameson didn't bring her to the cliff, so why did he?
Jameson stood with an axe, attacking the walls with full force. He showed no mercy, and something told Grayson that he was the target of his brother's rage. I deserve it.
Suddenly, Nash came running. At first, Grayson had assumed it was to stop Jameson from what he was doing. But he payed no attention. Instead, he looked panicked, a rare sight when it came to the eldest of the Hawthorne brothers.
"Have either of you seen Izzy?" His voice came out as a whisper, but carried through the air as much as screaming at the top of his lungs would have.
No reply.
Jamie didn't seem to be listening. But Grayson didn't answer out of fear, worried that the words that came out of his mouth might make whatever was about to happen concrete. He had an uncomfortable feeling that whatever Nash was about to say next, he wouldn't like it.
And he was right.
