Grace P.O.V
I woke up in pain but that's how I've woken up for the past five years. What surprised me was even though my eyes were closed I could tell it was bright. I opened my eyes only to immediately shut them to bright way to bright.

I immediately start to panic. Uncle John is going to kill me! Where am I and how did I get here? As my breathing becomes erratic I here loud beeping. Again I open my eyes. As soon as I open them I look around to see a nurse trying to calm me down and what looks like security holding a man back. Oh no Uncle John is here. I start sobbing he's going to kill me for sure I haven't even told my brother I love him. I was broken out of my thoughts by someone shouting.

"Let me in that's my sister!" I know that voice. That's Corey! Oh no he can't find out but I want to see him so bad before I'm sent back to my uncle.

"Corey Corey! Let me see my brother!"  I shout. Immediately Corey runs in the room. I start crying as I see him. The brother I love I haven't seen in five years. Behind him is Devyn who I met a couple times and loved her immediately.

"Oh Grace are you okay? I'm here now and I'm never letting you go again." Corey whispered with tears in his eyes. I nod knowing if I try to speak I will start to cry again.

I look behind him and motion for Devyn to give me a hug which she does carefully avoiding my injuries.

"Grace what happened? I need to know." Corey asked. I sighed I hated lying to him but he can't know.

"Over the years I've gotten clumsy Cor I fell down the stairs and knocked myself out." I used my nickname for him hoping he would believe me.

"Gracie you have to tell me the truth you were shot twice and stabbed and if you fell down the stairs how were you found upstairs." Corey said softly. I knew he wanted to tell but was trying not to upset me. I just stared at him I couldn't come up with anything.

"Gracie we know it was John you don't have to lie anymore." Corey told me. I was shocked how did he know. No he's going to send me back. How could he love me I'm so messed up. I started sobbing and felt Corey and Devyn rubbing my back telling me everything will be okay. But I knew better nothing will be okay Ben and uncle John will get me.

"Cor I'm sorry I lied to you." I whispered while he hugged me. He leaned out of the hug and lifted his hand. I winced and got ready for him to hit me.

"Gracie did you think I was going to hit you?" Corey asked shocked. I nodded slowly but I refused to look at him. I deserved to be hit I knew I did its what uncle John always said. Slowly Corey lifted my face and looked me in the eyes before kissing my forehead. I was shocked that was the first time in five years someone was gentle and kind. I whispered I'm sorry.

"Its okay Gracie but we do need to talk." I was already nervous when Corey said we needed to talk. Would he send me back to our uncle. I couldn't go back he would kill me.

"Corey please don't send me back to uncle John I will do anything please just don't send me back there he will kill me I know he will." I was crying even though I knew it was pathetic. He gave me a small smile to try and comfort and was about to tell me something when he was interrupted.

"You are NEVER going back there sweetheart. You here me never! Corey and I will take care of you sweets" Devyn told me with a smile. I smiled but then remembered.

"What about your roommates won't they be upset having a stupid random girl in their house?" I ask. I knew I shouldn't but I really wanted to stay with them. No Grace you will be a burden I thought to myself.

"I'm sure they won't mind besides we have an extra room at the house." Corey said with a smile. I mean I do miss my brother and Devyn but still what if Ben or uncle John come after me. They could get hurt.

"We will call Elty now since he and the guys just got home." Corey says taking his phone out.

"What's up man? Where are you and Devyn?" A man who I assume is Elton says from over the phone. His voice was kind of deep and calming.

"Hey Elty me and Dev are at the hospital. Before you freak out we are fine I got a call saying my little sister was air lifted here. Anyway she can't go back to where she was so I was wondering if you and the boys would be fine with her moving in with us?" Corey explains.

"I'll talk to the boys and call you back. Your sister is the one you have a picture of in your room right?" Elton replies. I was shocked he had a picture of me. Does that mean he actually missed me.

"Yeah that's her and sounds good talk to you soon." Corey says then hangs up. I just motioned for him to give me a hug. He got up from his chair giving me a gentle but tight hug. Then his phone rang.

"Hey man so me and the boys talked we all agree she should move in. After all you always talk about how much you miss her." Elton says. Corey smiles at me.

"Okay great she's in pretty rough shape so she will be in the hospital for a couple more days. Dev is coming home tonight I will probably stop at home some time tomorrow but I'm staying here to keep an eye on her." Corey tells Elton. As they say goodbye a nurse comes in and says whoever isn't staying needs to leave. Devyn comes over and hugs me so gently as if she hugs me to hard I will break. As Devyn leaves Corey gives me a kiss on the forehead as I drift off to sleep.
