Paranormal/G.D

Chapter 19

I wake up and see Grayson sat in the corner. Completely transparent.

"Gray" I say softly.

"I'm never going to be able to leave" He says into his knees.

"You will one day" I say.

"You were supposed to help me pass over but instead you are falling in love with my brother" Grayson says angrily. "And now he never thinks about me"

"What about your other family members"

"You really don't get it do you" Grayson laughs angrily. "It was never about my other family members it was just about Ethan, but he is always thinking about you now"

"Gray-"

"Stop calling me that it's Grayson to you"He yells then disappears leaving me alone again. 

I get out of bed refusing to let the tears fall from my eyes.

"That's fine Grayson you be like that, I don't need you anymore" I yell. 
I put on some blue jeans and a black t shirt. Then opened my bedroom door and go to the front room. I jump slightly when I see someone sleeping on the couch. I couldn't see who it was  because they had a blanket covering their face.
I slowly walk towards the person and peel back the blanket. Lying on the couch was Brandon. He looked like he had been wearing the same clothes for a couple of days. His blonde hair was dark with dirt and his face was covered in mud, tears stains mixed in with it.

"Brandon" I gently shake him "Brandon". He wakes suddenly and looks at me scared. When he realizes its me he throws himself at me and wraps himself around me.

"Jordyn" He cries.

"Brandon what are you doing here, it's not safe" I warn.

"I know" Brandon lifts his jumper up and there are bruises shaped like fingers across his chest. "Dad did it when he found out I came back and he hit you to you have a black eye"

I comfort him in my arms and he just sobs.

"Why did you come back" I ask and move his hair out of his eyes.

"I wanted you back" He pulls away from me and sits beside me.
"I ran away from mum"

"You're so stupid Brandon"I raise my voice slightly. "I can't keep you safe from Dad, I can't even protect my self"

"I will protect him" I heard Grayson behind me. Brandon looked up confused.

"Who's that" Brandon pointed behind me and there stood Grayson his hands folded across his chest.

"Wait you can see him" I say

"You can see me"

"Why wouldn't I see him he is right there" Brandon was more confused.

"Never mind" I sigh " Anyway Grayson I told you I don't need you so you can go"

"You don't need me but Brandon does" Grayson seemed annoyed.

"Dad isn't some type of monster he is just getting over mum" I  explain.

"Jordyn are you hearing your self" Grayson punches the door but leaving no mark. "Your dad hits you and you're fine with it because you think he will stop, your bother is here now you need to get your head out of the clouds"

"Jordyn please let him help us" Brandon begs "i'm scared"

"You ran away from mum Brandon you put yourself in this situation, and can I remind you that you are 8 years old you don't a decision"

"How the fuck was he supposed to know that his dad had turned into a violent alcoholic" Grayson defends Brandon.

"Don't defend him" I warn. "But if you are going to stay we have to put you in school"

I pick up the phone and sign Brandon up to the school closest to the house. 30 minuets later he had a place in the school.

I walk back into the living room to see Brandon had fallen back asleep and Grayson was watching him protectively.

"Why"I question causing Grayson to turn and look at me

"Why are you being so protective of him"

"Because"He shrugs and turns to face Brandon again.

"That's not an answer"I sigh and go to my room.

"Jordyn" Brandon comes running into my room.

"Get here you little shit" Dad voice boomed.
Grayson shuts my bedroom door and sits against it. Brandon was sat behind me shaking like crazy.

"Open this door Jordyn or I won't feed you for a week" Dad banged on the door.
