Too far gone

Overprotective brother...

--- Gregory's POV ---

"Johnny?! Fwiend?!" I ran over to my friend who lay frozen on the floor. He coughed and sat up, rubbing his arms, "I-I'm fine..." I hugged him and cried into his shoulder. "I-I'm sorry, fwiend..!" "Its fine, you didn't know."
"But.."
"Grego-"
"NOO!! D-Dont caww me that!!"
Toast jumped, "Wh-... Why not?"
"I HATE that name!"
".... o-okay... what do you want me to call you then...?"
"I don't know! Anyfing but Gwegowy!!"
"... well... how about Ghost? That'd be a cool name and that's what I called you when I met you so..." I nodded, "T-that works..." He chuckled under his breath and stood up. "Well, Ghost, we should be heading home. Its getting late. I don't want mother to worry." I nodded again and grabbed his hand, wiping a tear away with my other hand.

~~ le magic time skip past boring walking scenes ~~

We got back home to Toast's house to find the place surrounded by police. With and instant flashback to when I found my mother, I hid behind Johnny and clung to his shirt.

Its weird... I feel taller now. Like I'm older. But I'm not. I'm obviously still 6, right? Or... no... I might be seven by now... yeah,no think I'm seven. Even if I'm not, I'm gonna say I am! "What's wrong, Gre- er, Ghost?" I answered with a hug, letting him know I didn't want to talk about it. He nodded and was then swooped up off the ground, leaving me to the unforgiving hands of gravit, which pulled me onto the concrete driveway. Uhm, ow! Thanks, whoever you are, for doing that! Really appreciated!

Now realizing that I don't have anything to hold onto, I resorted to hugging myself. As son as I hit the ground, I curled up, hugging my knees and rocking back and forth. Soon, a pair of hands picked me up aswell, but I staued in that position as they carried me. I had my eyes closed, so I didn't know where. Was headed. All I know is that I heated the big front doors open and then everythng got warm. The hands placed me on something soft then the very carried the hands away.

Later, I heard someone run up to me. "Ghost! Ghost, are you alright??" I opened my eyes and saw Johnny standing in front of me, looking concerned. I gasped and latched onto him. "I-I thought you were gone!!"
"What? Why would you think such a thing??"
"Somewon picked you up! They took you away! A-and then they picked mwe up too! I thought they kidnapped me!!"
"Oh! No, no, Ghost, you've got it wrong. Those were the police. They just took us inside because mother was worried sick! Quite literally as well. She apparently got sick while we were gone.."
"Is she okway?!"
"I suppose.. its just a cold, I believe."
"A cold?! Somewon needs to bwing her some bwankets!!"
He laughed, "Not that kind of cold, Ghost!"
"Ooohhhhh.... okay..."
"Yeah.... say, I've got some homework to do, do you mind staying here alone while I work?"
"No! I'ww be fwine~!" Johnny hugged me and told me everything would be okay and then left. I sat on the bed for a while before looking around the room. I quickly found some paper and some kind of chalk I think. It was weird chalk though. It was almost shiny! And colorful! They were smooth and they didn't get all over my hands! They were wrapped in paper so thats probably why.

I hummed to myself as I doodled on the paper. I was drawing mommy! She was going to have a pretty dress on! And flowers in her hair! Haha! Oh! I know!! I can add Johnny's mom too!! I bet our moms would be great friends! His mom can have a fancy dress on! And shell have pretty gems on her dress! Johnny's mom always dresses nice. She's so pretty! I smiled and finished my drawing. It looked better than I had planned!! I put the paper on the table and looked at it, admiring my creation.

Suddenly, the paper flew across the table. It had been matches up by an angry Gavin Toast. He looked at it and scoffed. He held it up where I could see it. "What is this?!"
"That's my picture of mommys pwaying wife eachofer!" I smiled, still proud of it.
"Yeah? Well guess what! You're wrong! This is, or WAS, my HOMEWORK!! Do you know how hard I worked on this?! How long I spent making sure the answers were correct so my STUPID BROTHER wouldn't beat me again?!" I flinched back at his outburst, my eyes tearing up.
"I-I'm sowwy...! I-I didn't know...!"
"You didn't know?! HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW?! Do you NOT see the writing on here?! Did you even BOTHER to see what it says?!"
"I-I.... I didn't know there was wri-"
"YOU DIDN'T KNOW!? How can you NOT SEE the writing that is in PLAIN VIEW?!"
"I-I..."

--- Jimmy's POV ---

I watched as this boy that looked identical to Toast yelled at my little brother. I was infuriated. How DARE he talk to him that way?! Ohh, if I were there right now, I'd kill him!!

After a few more seconds of the boy yelling at Greg, he grabbed him by his collar and pulled him up, glaring down at him. "This is MY homework and now YOU'RE going to do it FOR ME."
"I-I can't!!"
"WHY NOT."
"B-because I..."
"Because you what?!"
"I-I can't tell you!!
"Why. Not!?"
"I-Its embawassing..." Ohhhh, do it, Toaster! He looks like Toast and at he's not. So I decided to call him Toaster. Ask him! Then it'll officially be a secret! And then I can kill you with no regrets! Not that I'd have any in the first place.
"I. Don't. CARE!! Tell me!!" Haha, YES!! Finally!

Gregory cowered back and I forced the body to move. I had fill control now. I honestly didn't want to kill anyone. Killing is wrong, I know that. I'll just teach him a lesson. He wanted his homework done anyway, didn't he?

"TELL ME YOU DORK!!" I growled and kicked at him. I hit him in the shin and he immediately dropped me. I then grabbed him and shoved him onto the ground. So much for not killing him. That feeling came back as I threw him down. The hatres was stronger this time. I put my hands around his throat and sat on top of him. "You wanna know?! You wanna know what he was gonna say?! I can't tell ya, SORRY. Its a secret! And i don't think you want to DIE, do you?!" He started coughing and tried desperately to pull my hands away from his throat. But I kept them there. I wanted hm to pay for what he did and said to Greg.

"GHOST!!" I heard a woman scream at me as she quickly yanked me off Toaster. He sat up and gasped, holding his chest and crying. I smirked. I bet he'll never attack Greg again.
