•Grayson's POV•
I pick up Ethan's journal and bring it back to my room, placing it under my bed.
I know Riv is confused but it will be hard for her to understand.
I walked down the stairs to see her sleeping silently on the couch.
She wanted to go home, I could tell. But I couldn't let her go back. She'll get hurt again. She means too much to me and I can't let that happen again.
With Ethan too. I cant let him hurt her again.
I open the door to the basement and walk down the stairs.
I turn around to make sure Riv wasn't following me. You never know.
I silently walk across the room and over to the hallway closet. I open the door and reach up to feel around on the top shelf. My finger tips come across the small box I was looking for.
It's still here.
I pull the box down and bring over to the couch, placing it softly on the cushions.
I swipe my hand over the top, removing all the dust. I could still read the small letters wrote in scribbled sharpie.
"His Characters"
I open the box and dig around inside. I catch glimpses of all his different people he used to be. His monsters.
Then I come across the picture I wanted. Thick, red marker was written across his eyes.
"Tanner Renning"
I take the picture out and looked at it closely. The fire in his eyes. The devilish smirk on his lips.
Just the way I remembered him.
