Grace P.O.V
I was in my new bathroom I had my razor but I was confused. Shouldn't I be happy? I was about to cut when I heard knocking and I remembered I didn't lock the door. I was about to say something but Corey walked in.

"Hey sis just wanted to...." He stopped he saw the razor. Shit! What do I do? He looked at me with tears in his eyes he knew.

"Corey I...." I tried to explain but stopped when he just hugged me. I was crying. I hugged Corey tightly with tears in my eyes. We were both shaking as we hugged. After awhile he let me go and looked in my eyes.

"Grace I'm taking this and I'm here if you ever want to talk. If you ever feel the urge to cut you need to come to me okay? I love you and I can't lose you." Corey said as he took the razor from me. I smiled and gave him a hug. He helped me up and took me back to my bed.

"Cor can we maybe talk tomorrow I need to tell you something but I don't want to talk about it tonight." I asked slightly hesitant. I knew I would have to tell him about Ben but not tonight.

"Of course Gracie. We can talk tomorrow and maybe go to lunch. Now get some sleep. I love you Devyn and I are right across the hall if you need me." Corey gave me a hug and kissed my forehead goodnight. I was afraid to go to sleep. I knew I would have nightmares but I didn't want to wake up my new roommates if I scream.

*time skip an hour later*
*italics are the dream*

It was dark I couldn't see more than a foot in front of me. When I heard heavy footsteps walking towards me. I ran but I didn't know where I was going. Suddenly someone grabbed my arm hard. I was turned and  saw my uncle John. He smacked me on the cheek hard.

"You think you can escape me? I will find you and you will regret the day you were born. Me and Ben are going to find you and get you back." John whispered in my ear. Then he started punching me and kicking me. Then he took a knife out and I screamed.

*end of dream*

My door burst opened and since it was dark I didn't see that it was Corey and Elton. I screamed. Ben and Uncle John were here they were going to take me. Suddenly the light was turned on. It was just Corey and Elton. I sobbed. Corey came over to me slowly rubbing my back. Elton whispered something to Corey then left. I climbed into Corey's lap. I was clinging to my brother. I was terrified even if it was just a dream I knew that they were going to come back for me. One time I tried to leave Ben and he nearly killed me.

"Gracie do you want to talk about it?" Corey asked me softly. I just kept holding on to him. I know I was being clingy but right now I didn't care.

"Corey he's going to come back. He's going to get me I know he is. He will kill me for sure." I sobbed into his shirt. I wasn't talking about John though. It was Ben I was more afraid of.

"Gracie he's in jail. He can't get you. He won't touch you ever again." Corey tried to reassure me. I shook my head. He didn't understand I could handle being beaten by John but I don't think I can handle what Ben puts me through.

"No Corey not John. Ben is going to kill me. He nearly killed me when I tried to leave him." I was shaking.

"Gracie who is Ben? Why would he want to kill you? Gracie is he the one who raped you?" He whispered the ending question. I nodded into his shoulder. I was ashamed. I don't know how he knew about that but I was ashamed that he knew.

"Gracie no-one is going to hurt you ever again. Do you want to come lay down in my room with me and Dev? Dev won't mind she wanted to come in here but I told her to give you and I some time. You know Elton already sees you as a baby sister." Corey helped me up when I said okay to going to his and Devyn's room. Then he picked me up so I didn't have to walk on my cast.

As soon as we got to their room Devyn came to give me a hug. I gave her small smile as I hugged her back. She pulled me over to their bed saying Corey could sleep on the couch. Finally I fell into a peaceful sleep for the first time in years.
