You swim? Grayson Hawthorne X OC

74

I headed into the garden, looking around to see John had followed me outside.

"Are you alright?" He questioned, coming closer than usual.

I stared at him for a moment, breathing heavily, as he waited for me to answer.

"No." I spoke quietly, as he nodded. John made his way towards me and wrapped his arms around me.

I held onto the back of his top, as I let out a small sob. John held me for the next twenty minutes, as I cried my heart out. It was comforting, having him with me. I appreciated the sentiment, as he tried to calm me down though to no avail.

After a while I managed to calm down and speak again without choking on my every word.

"Why's she here?" I questioned, as John shrugged.

"That's something I cannot answer." He replied. I nodded and leaned against his chest, as John rubbed my back with his hand.

"Li?" I heard Grayson's voice, as I turned to see him looking at me worriedly.

"Gray." I spoke, as John slowly walked us towards him.

"Come here, love." He spoke and wrapped his arms around me, placing a kiss to my forehead.

"Do you know why she's here?" I questioned, as he also shook his head. Huffing, I stared back out at the garden, as Alisa followed Grayson outside.

"We can ask her to leave." Alisa suggested.

"I'm guessing you've already done that." I let out a laugh. Alisa sent me a shy smile, as I sighed.

"What does she want?" I questioned.

"All she keeps answering with is that she wants to talk to you." Alisa explained, making me groan.

"What if I don't want to talk to her?" I asked annoyed, as she shrugged.

"Restraining order?" She suggested. I sighed and leaned against Grayson's chest, as he wrapped an arm around me.

"This is a lovely garden you have here." I heard a voice say, as I quickly turned around.

John quickly raised his gun, as the woman stared back at him. Her features were terrifyingly familiar, blonde hair, light blue eyes and full cheeks, small in height with a smaller chest and bigger thighs.

This was Elowyn Cege.

"Step back." John ordered, as the woman took a step backwards.

"Hello Lieta." Elowyn spoke, as she stared directly at me.

"Go away." I rushed, as Grayson placed a protective hand onto my shoulder.

"Where to?" She questioned, as I now focused on her speech.

There was no chance that she was American, much more likely was somewhere in Europe. I guessed somewhere in the United Kingdom or Ireland. Her eyelashes were thick and made her look much more innocent than she likely was.

"Wherever you came from. I don't want you here." I replied, as she tilted her head.

"Your father ruined you." She spoke, as I let out a breath.

"You both did." I argued, making her raise an eyebrow.

"I couldn't ruin you. Never got the chance, as I was never there."
"Exactly why you ruined me." I spoke harshly.

Elowyn stared at me, making me sigh.

"When will you leave?" I questioned, as she shrugged.

"Once you've spoken with me." She replied.
