2|Remain

"TYAHHHH!" Greyson yells out. Tripping and falling over air, he crawls through the grass in pain. Bleeding everywhere.

"Ok, you can do this" Greyson groans out in pain. Once he's on his feet again he walks out into the middle of the road, the on road that makes the campus what it is, that also separates all of the building.

Once he crosses halfway across the road a car almost slams into him, in full speed.

"Ahh!" Greyson puts his hand on the hood of the car and almost immediately returns his attention back to his hurt nose.

"GET IN!" Joshua yells out of the window. Greyson looks at him then looks back over to the building. Thinking whether he should listen to his brother for once or go and be an "attempted' hero.

"Greyson! Get the hell in!"

As Joshua's voice becomes more harsh, he limps to the passengers side and gets in. Joshua immediately puts the car in reverse. Then drive, and speeds off.

(Opening/Intro)

Chapter 2|Remain

"I knew I shouldn't have let you come to school" Joshua bites down on his teeth and grips the steering wheel even tighter than he was a second ago.

"Please, Josh...I need a napkin" Greyson holds his nose up trying to stop the blood. But all he does is make it run down his face.

"Here" He groans out of anger. Josh looks at Greyson then back at the road, then back at him. "What the hell happened?"

"I don't know" Greyson Swallows blood that has seeped from inside his nostrils to his throat. "I walked into the health building and...when everyone was walking to class. A boy was biting another girl. Then the teacher and when I tried to call you i--"

"It doesn't matter " Joshua brings him to silence. "We need to get you to the house so I can see if your nose is ok or not"

"It feels...broken" Greyson looks out his side of the window to watch the trees go by, creating something else to focus on other than his nose.

The terrible thought finally seeks into him when he remembers why he was outside in the first place. For Tyah. And for Xu. Everything he promised her. Gone.

Greyson leans his head back as his eyes start to water. "Dammit" He whispers.

"What?" Josh looks over at him confused and worried. "Nothing it's just that, I left Tyah and Xu and...hopefully her parents and...his parents go up there and their ok..." Greyson wipes his face and continues to look out of the window.

"What the hell!" Joshua stomps on the breaks as the car drives in circles then comes to a reckless stop.

Greyson looks up from holding his head down and looks to see what it was.

"Hey! Move asshole!" Joshua honks the horn at the person who's just standing there. Three loud honks Joshua gave, on the last honk the guy turned around and started to limp, slowly, at the car.

"What is he doing?" Josh squints at the person and unbuckles his seat belt. Just then Greyson' heart starts to race at the realization of what 'it' could be.

0/2

"Josh" Greyson slowly says his name almost as low as a whisper. Joshua doesn't respond, he just slowly opens up the door. Greyson, seeing the anger in his eyes calls out his name even louder.

"GET back in the car!" Greyson unbuckles his seat belt to try and stop Joshua from walking any closer to the man.

He runs up to Josh and grabs his wrist tight and pulls him backwards.

"Come the fuck on!" Greyson groans, finally making Joshua walk back and get into the car. When Greyson gets into the car he let's out a reliefed sigh and buckles himself back in.

The car starts to move again, as Joshua slowly drives around the man still trying to limp towards them.

"What the hell was that?" Greyson turns his head a looks at Joshua.

"My bad, I just overreacted" Joshua sighs

"And what were you going to do?"

"...I was gonna beat his ass" As the words come out of Joshua's mouth, Greyson leans his head back, relieved. And continues to look out of the window.

Once Joshua pulls into the driveway, they both unbuckle their seat belts and get out of the car. Just as Greyson shuts the door to the truck he notices more than one neighbor packing stuff into their cars and driving away. Some more calm than others, whole some were more, afraid.

"Joshua" Greyson calls walking into the house and shutting the door, making sure he locks it this time.

"Yeah" He anwsers from the kitchen. Greyson takes his shoes off along with his shirt.

"Why isn't dad back?"

Joshua snatches his head back to look at him, his face filled with worry but he quickly buries it with a sheet of seriousness and anger. "I'm not sure...I think he'll be home soon"

Greyson doesn't respond, he just walks away and goes into the bathroom, shutting the door.

He looks into the mirror and sees his skin faded by his nose blood. Grabbing a rag he runs it over the faucet, and start to wipe his face clean. Once he's done with that he turns on the shower and pulls down his pants and trousers.

Once his body is under the water, he puts his hair underneath it as well. And slowly opens his mouth. Then bites down on his teeth.

Full of anger and rage.

"Hey, Greyson" Joshua knocks on the door and Comes in.

"Go. Away" Greyson' voice muffles under the water. Joshua looks down at the ground and sits his towel on the sink.

"We're gonna remain here. Until mom and dad come, ok?" Josh waits for an answer but doesn't receive one.

"Which mean, no going out of the house. It's not safe anymore, do you hear me?" Once again, no response.

Joshua walks out and shuts the door behind him.

"I hear you" Greyson whispers underneath the water.
