This is not what I signed up for. I never wanted this to happen, it wasn't my fault. When management first said something about their "amazing" plan I left. They sprung their idea again the next week, and then within the next few days and then it became an everyday thing. I couldn't take it anymore and they threatened to kick me off of their team and cancel everything I had been working for. My hands were tied. She wouldn't forgive me this time. I know her better than anyone in the world, she hates me now. It would take something big to get her back, I was prepared for that.
@ElliotGraceGray: I hope you guys can understand. I love you all. *youtube link*
The youtube video loaded as I sat in the Uber completely disgusted with myself. She didn't deserve this, im such an asshole. Graces video started with her looking off screen. Tear stains streaked her face as she sat there emotionless. I broke her, I broke what was left of the shattered heart she had. How could I have been so stupid? My temper got the best of me and I lashed out making me hurt the one thing I love most. Management, I can't only blame them, this is my fault to. Why didn't I just say no?! God im an idiot. I'm not going to try to win her back this time, not for a while, she needs a chance to be happy or try to find someone that makes her happy besides me. Because everytime I have her I break her. She's to good for that, and I don't deserve her. Either way I'll be dead once I get home anyways, im sure half the family is already there questioning Tez. They wont get far, he wouldn't know. My thoughts were proven as we pulled up next to my house, the drive way was filled, Spencer and Nash, Matt and whoever he brought, Tobias, Blake, Andrea, Johnson, and Taylor's, vehicles. Tez most likely was still here, due to his car being blocked in, instead of being over at Sammy's. Great, here goes everything, the only question is whos going to punch me first. The house was noisy as I walked in, Zan running to me alerted everyone that I was home and they met me half way to the living room. "What the hell did you do?!" Tobias yelled in my face pushing me up against the wall by my collar. "You can't tell anyone the truth, if you do you're out. " "What are you on about?" I asked playing dumb. "Oh you know for damn sure what he's talking about Hayes!" Matt fumed from beside Tobias. No one was on my side this go around, they all will hate me. Just like she does. "Hm, nope doesnt ring a bell, sorry. You're going to have to elaborate more than that." I was being an arrogant ass but it masked the hurt. Looks like I picked up on a few of Gracie's talents. Tobias let go of me pacing back and forth while clenching his hands. I was to focused on him to notice the brunette come up beside of me. Her punch was probably the worst I've ever had and stung like a bitch. Blood trickled down my face from my nose as I brought my hand up to cup it. "Benjamin, don't you dare lie to me! I know my sister and what would have to happen for her to shut me out COMPLETELY. Thanks to you I can't call her, I can't email her, I can't even go and see her because she's in another country! You will tell me what you did or so help me I will end you, and this time you and no one else will stop me. Now what the hell did you do?!" Spencer was livid, her face a shade of dark red, knuckles white the way she clenched them besides the blood covered one she punched me with. No one rushed to help me, not even Tez, Zan had retreated to his side and I think even he was mad at me. Force impacted my jaw again, Spence had made a second strike since I hadn't started talking yet. "I will give you 5 seconds to talk before I completely beat your ass, 5,4,-."
"I broke up with her okay? I've been talking one of my co-stars on set for a while and I've gotten feelings for her. I think I might love her." The words stung my throat like poison, not one of them true. "That is complete and utter bullshit. You want to know why because you haven't said anything about it. And you have moped around since Elliot's last visit 2 months ago. That spark in your eyes you have when we talk about her hasn't changed one bit so you can shove that lie back wherever it came from." Tez was defending her just like he should. "That's where you are wrong, she moved across the country and probably has had God knows how many boys while I haven't been around." What did I just say? Oh my, what the hell did I just say? Im dead im going to die." Spencer,who had backed off some to listen to Tez and have Nash try to calm her down, pounced. I readied myself for her to claw my eye out. I deserved it. But it never came, her war cry was cut short by Nash who took her by the waist trapping her as she wiggled to break out. Matt's slap sent me to seeing stars. "Don't you ever say something like that about my sister ever again. We had full intentions of killing you, Tobias, Blake, and I, but we are keeping each other from hurting you. You want to know why Grier?" He asked through clenched teeth. "Because we know if we hurt you she'd resent us for it." Blake added. "Because for some stupid reason no matter what you do she loves you, even when you treat her like this. I don't know why she puts up with you but if she can get this far without killing you, I can control myself, that's her wishes." Tobias added getting in my face again and then backing off. Spencer let out a laugh, it was a cold hearted one like you see in the movies. "I sense a deja vu moment happening, when we were 16 you said things similar to this, you and Aaron. You lied, you're a liar. You lied to everyone just to help yourself out, saying you loved her, and you know who got hurt in the end Hayes? I'll give you a hint it wasn't you, it's always her. No matter what, everytime you do things you hurt her. I hate you. I hate you so much. I hate you for hurting her. I hate you for lying to everyone. But most of all I hate you for making her fall for you. I should never have let you in on my good side all those years ago. I tried to warn her, I tried to warn all of you, but I guess I needed to warn myself too, because you're good Hayes, you even had me fooled. And maybe you still do, because a part of me thinks you're lying. There's to much that has happened for you not to love her the way you have claimed. I'll find out either way, and when I do, you will be done for. I'm outta here." Nash let her go as she proceeded to walk out the front door. Everyone was astonished, wide eyed but their expressions of anger still lingered. Nash was the first to break the silence, going after his fiance soon afterwards, "We may be brothers, but I don't even know who you are anymore. I have lost all my respect for you. But that being said I know you to well to know something didn't happen, so when you want to tell the truth and talk about it, you know my number. Oh and im telling mom, she deserves to know about what you did to the girl she calls her future daughter in law. I'm sure Sky will be pretty upset too. Goodnight everyone, I have a wife to go calm down." Jenn and Andrea left next, Jenn was going to say something but then thought better of it and they left giving me disapproving looks and shaking their heads. "If I never hear from my sister again, I don't care at this point, I will make you regret it, and these to will help. I don't care how but this will get fixed and if not, well you'll see what happens. You have messed with her heart and broke it for the last time. You don't mess with our family, and expect to get away with it." Tobias said as Matt, Blake, and him left out the door. All that remained in the house were Tez and I and the dogs. Even Tez looked like he was going to murder me as he glared from the other side of the couch. "What?" I asked irritated. "Just trying to figure out what's going through your stupid head. Hayes you are my best friend and I know when something is up, so if you need to spill what actually happened, here's your chance." I sighed, I couldn't break down in front of him, not yet. "Look man I know I don't deserve it, but help me take some of the edge of and then I'll tell you." My friend agreed as I knew he would bringing me a bottle and I gulped it down ignoring the sting. Tez waited patiently watching me as if I was glass or a China doll that could easily be broken. After a while words just seemed to flow out of me, I don't know what they were but I knew that they were something.
