Slightly Destroyed

chapter 4.

(edited)

A banging came from our front door was not what I expected this morning. I mean it can't be Cartier, he's back at collage or with his girlfriend.

I take a look at our kitchen clock, who's here at ten am on a Saturday. I didn't make plans with Ashley, and Kalyn is taking care of Nathan, apparently those two hit it off last night.

The banging become aggressive and I groan, rubbing my forehead, this person seriously wants to give me a headache at nine am. My dad was at a meeting so it was just my brothers and I.

Jacks comes into the kitchen, where I was watching some YouTube videos on my laptop.

He was covering his eyes. I sigh getting up and placing him on my hip as I rush to the door.

"Coming" I yell, annoyed before unlocking the door and coming face to face with Grayson. He sighs.

I scowl "what do you want?" I question, annoyed I'm seeing his face this early, especially on a Saturday.

"My little sister and Nick are hanging out?" Graysons says more in a questioning tone. I mentally face palm.

If Nick was inviting friends, he could've told me. He probably told dad but I hadn't seen him since I got home from school yesterday.

"Idiot of a brother I have" I mumble before turning on my foot facing the stairs.

"Nick!" I yell, as I hear a rush of feet coming from the stairs.

Mason shows up "People are trying to sleep, Bec" he mutters, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Yea me too.

"Well I'm sorry it's Nick's fault he forgot he's hanging out with friends." I state as I watch him come down the stairs, he was shirtless wearing only basketball shorts.

"Clark? what brings you here" he calls going into the kitchen.

"Aubrey was invited by Nick." Grayson deadpans.

Right Nick, I called the wrong brother down.

"Nick!" I yell again "didn't mom teach you anything? you don't keep a girl waiting?" he appears at the top of the stairs. And I sigh.

"Gosh, clam down. I dropped my toothbrush in the toilet " I make a face as I watch him come down the stairs.

"How does one do that?" I question opening the door more, he stares up at me and shrugs.

"Ask Car, he's done it before" I shake my head. My brothers were complete idiots.

"Now get out, aren't you guys going laser tagging with Justin?" I question him, he nods before bidding both Grayson and I a goodbye before going across the street to Justin's house.

"I have idiots as brothers" I mutter wondering how many times I will say that statement down. I let Jacks down.

I turn back to the door to see Grayson still standing there "what?" I question him.

I didn't mean to make it sound rude but he disturbed a perfectly quiet morning, and that rarely happens in this house.

"Right, just wanted to know if you were alright from last night"

I shrug and lean on the door "yea why wouldn't I?"

He shrugs back "so are you and Ashton a thing now or?" he questions stuffing his hands in his pockets.

Ever since the events of last night, Ashton and I have been non stop texting. Which is nice, I mean he's a guy and he stood up for me.

I shrug, not having a clue on how I'm going to answer that question "I wanted to thank you for sticking up for me, something I thought you'd never do"
