We finally arrive in an old sketchy neighborhood. There were old abandoned houses on every corner, cars that looked hot boxed, and loud music filled the streets with chaos. We look around where we knew Ethan would be and then we see a four people surrounded on a sidewalk.

"Grayson pull over I think that's them.", I say

Grayson pulls over, and we immediately rush over to the scene. We had just made it. Ethan had Zach by the collar of his shirt, pinned up against the hood of his car.

"DON'T YOU  EVER SAY THAT ABOUT HER!!", Ethan screamed as he threw a punch across zach's face

They had wrestled their way to the ground and then Zach got on top of Ethan and punched him in his gut. Grayson came in and pulled Zach off, as I ran to Ethan's aid. Grayson punched Zach to the floor while Zach's friends just sat and watched. I helped Ethan to his feet then turned my head trying to get Graysons attention as he stood over Zach.

"GRAYSON STOP!, LET'S GO!", I yell trying to not cause anymore damage

"DON'T EVER TOUCH MY BROTHER AGAIN!", Grayson warned to Zach

He finally turns leaving Zach on the floor and walks towards us helping me carry Ethan to the car. I look back and watch as all of Zach's friends walk away, leaving him on the floor helpless. The weird thing about it was I felt horrible for him, I finally realized why he acted this way but this didn't change the way I felt about him, not even a little. I turned my body back forwards and we headed to the car and back to my house.

*HOME*

Grayson walked Ethan to my dinning room table as he laid him on his back. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a bowl of hot water, a bandage wrap, and a washcloth. I ripped Ethan's shirt open and saw a bunch of bruises as blood trickled down the side of his mouth.

"Grayson put this in Ethan's mouth.", I said handing him the washcloth

He did as I said and stuffed it in his mouth and I grabbed the bowl of water.

"Okay Gray you're gonna have to hold him down.", I say

"WHY?", He questioned

"Just do it! On the count of three. 1...2...3", I slowly trickled the hot water onto Ethan's bruises

As Ethan screeched trying to get up from the table, Grayson had done what I asked and pinned Ethan down.

"I know, I know I'm sorry.", I apologize while Ethan screamed like he was being tortured. I finally finished then turned to Grayson.

"Grab two ice packs and wrap it in a wet towel.", I say quickly taking the cloth out of Ethan's mouth

While Gray ran into the kitchen as I grabbed the Bandage wrap..

"WHERE'S THE TOWELS?", Gray yelled

"IN THE BOTTOM CABINET ON THE SIDE OF THE SINK!", I reply

I sat Ethan up so he was sitting on the table and facing me, while I started to wrap around his bruises. I couldn't help but get distracted from his chiseled chest and rugged abs,Ethan's hands fell on my face snapping me out of my daze. He brushed my sweaty hair out of my face and gazed into my eyes. I stopped and gave him my full attention.

"How did I not meet you sooner", Ethan said pulling his hand away from my cheek

"You had a rough night I think you should rest.", I insisted finishing the bandages
"Kiana?", he said

"Yes Ethan?", I replied trying to not make eye contact

"I really really like you.", he said as I stopped once more "I don't know what I would do without you."

"Uhhm okay I have the ice.", Grayson interrupted

I finished wrapping Ethan and took the ice from Grayson applying it right on top of the bandages. I then attempted to move Ethan to the couch in the living room and Grayson helped me carry him over.

*2 HOURS LATER*

Ethan is fast asleep on the couch while I sit at the bottom of my stairs watching Ethan's chest rise up and fall down. I told Grayson to take a shower and that I was sorry for dragging both of them into a ginormous mess. He didn't really say much about it just that he didn't really care and I directed him into the downstairs bathroom. And now here I sat watching Ethan breathe. Hoping that every time his chest went down it would pop back up. He was so peaceful when he slept, I started to remember my brother and how alike they both were, and like always I isolated myself from the world around me once more. I wrapped both of my arms around my knees and brought it to my chest as I dug my head into my arms, and closed my eyes for a couple of minutes.

"Hey. you okay?", a voice whispered from above me

I opened my eyes and lifted my head to find grayson half naked in a towel and water droplets covering his bare chest.

"Uhhm Grayson?....", I said surprised looking at the towel covering the bottom half of his body

"Oh no don't worry.", he said unraveling the towel as I shielded my eyes "I have shorts on", he said

I cautiously put my hands down and sighed in relief. Grayson then pointed to the left of me on the stairs

"Can I join you?", he asked as I scooted to my right "so where's your mom?"

"She had to fly back home for the rest of the week something came up with my grandparents."

I looked at Gray as he ran his hand through his wet hair "oh! So liste-"

"Oh my god!", I stopped him "Your hand", I said examining it. Just like Ethan's hand and stomach it was completely bruised.

"Oh don't worry about it I have been in much worst conditions", He replied

"I'm sorry I got you both into something so stupid."

"Hey don't blame yourself. We honestly needed a reason to beat the crap out of Zach, and now we have and excuse.... Plus it was all worth it.", he smirked

"I don't know how you both can stay so positive in these situations... it's so amazing to me.", I say

"I just remember that everything happens for a reason. By the way how did you know what to do with Ethan? He seems a lot more calm then if he were in an emergency room."

"Well I grew up getting hurt A LOT..", I giggled " you know I was and adventurous kid. and mind you we weren't the richest people on the block. So instead of taking me to the hospital my dad would do most of the handy work, like stitching me up, and wrapping my hands in a temporary casts"

"So your dad was your doctor?", Grayson asked

"Yeah...I uh.. Guess he was.", I realized

"Where is your dad? You don't really talk about him"

"Uhhmm....well." I started, fidgeting with my fingers "He passed away about a year ago.", I said while tears rolled down my cheek

"I'm sorry.", grayson comforted rubbing the tears from my eyes. My face and his now facing each other, as he leaned closer while our eyes stayed on each others lips and just like that we were kissing.

{hey guys sorry I'm still in the hospital but I wanted to get this out to you guys. I hoped you enjoyed it.}
