Dead rose 🥀 || E.D

Eighteen

Grayson's P.O.V
i was sitting on the couch with my dad while my mom set the table, alaya was coming over for dinner and honestly I'm so excited I haven't seen her in so long, I missed her crazy ass. But my parents were on the edge about her they think she's a bad influence on E but she makes him so happy there's light in his eyes again like when we were kids.
Ugly rat: were getting ready to pull in
Me: finally
I locked my phone and left it on the couch as I got up
" they're pulling up" I said and my parents looked up at me, they both looked at each other and slightly smiled.
" guys give her a chance she makes Ethan really happy" I said defending their relationship. My dad looked at me
" we understand that bud but I don't want Ethan getting into trouble with her" he said as I looked down remembering the time we got chased by the cops.
Please let tonight go good
* front door opening*
My thoughts got pushed away when I heard Ethan and Alaya laughing together I ran to the entrance and me and alaya locked eyes
" GRAYSONNN" she yelled running up to me and jumping in my arms she whimpered as I wrapped my arms around her tightly
Shit
I released my grip as she jumped down. Ethan came up behind her rubbing her back, I hugged Ethan patting his back
"She's really hurt don't worry you didn't do anything " he whispered making sure alaya didn't here, we let go of each other as he put his hand gently on Alayas back, we walked to the dining room where my parents were standing
" hi mr & mrs dolan I'm alaya" she smiled lightly unsure of what they were gonna
" hi sweetie nice to finally meet you, Ethan is always talking up a storm about you" my mom said giving her a hug, I saw alaya flex her back I could tell the hug hurt, my mom let go as alaya walked over to hug my dad.
" nice to finally put a face to the name" he said lightly hugging alaya, they stopped hugging as Ethan walked over to our parents giving them hugs.
" let's eat I'm starving" alaya said causing a laugh from all of us
" sorry" she said tucking her hair behind her ear
Ethan's P.O.V
" let's eat I'm starving" alaya said causing all of us to laugh, I could tell she was nervous just by the way she said sorry and moved her hair behind her ear, I gently placed my hand on her back leaning down a little bit
" you're doing great calm down" I whispered in her ear and she gently put her head against mine, I let go of her back and pulled out her chair for her she looked up at me sitting down
" thank you" she said as I kissed her head, I pulled out my chair next to her and sat down, Grayson did the same as our mom put all the food on the table, I grabbed Alayas plate and she grabbed it back
" let your parents get theirs first" she said quietly, I smiled at her placing her plate back down in front of her
" are you guys gonna eat I thought you were hungry" my dad said and I laughed
" see" I said looking at alaya she looked down and laughed
" I was trying to be nice" she said. Grayson nudged her shoulder and she lightly whimpered, I looked up over her locking eyes with Grayson he squinted his eyes confused as I shook my head slightly
He'll find out later
Alaya grabbed the dish with the steak in it and put some on her plate, she grabbed the mashed potatoes and put them on her plate. She put her napkin on her lap and started cutting the steak I looked over at her
" just cause I don't have a family doesn't mean I don't have manners stupid" she said in my ear, I laughed and got my food along with everyone else
~~~~~
" now that everyone's done eating and we had our laughs for the night tell us about yourself alaya" my dad said and she tensed up, I looked at her noticing her chest moving up and down really fast. I put my hand on her thigh and she looked up into my eyes. I nodded my head lightly letting her know she was gonna be okay.
I feel so bad but I can't let my parents think she's this bad person
" well when I was little. My parents mentally and physically abused me" my heart ached hearing those words come out of her mouth
" my dad would burn me with cigarettes and my mom would watch and laugh"
" alay-
" it's fine" she said cutting me off
" I went to school one day and the teacher saw all the burn marks on my neck and arms, she called me to the front of the class and then sent me to the office, when I got to the office there were a bunch of cops. They took me outside and I saw my parents in the back of a cop car, I didn't feel any emotion when I looked at them. Soon I went into foster care I was in the system until I was 17 then I ran away from my foster family and came here, I bought my dream apartment with all the money I saved up and I enrolled myself into high school so I can finish my last year, then I met your amazing sons and it felt like everything was falling into place finally.. then I had to unenroll myself from school cause people were finding out where I was and I didn't want any of my family members to find me." She stopped talking and the whole house was so quiet. It was really uneasy
" I'm so sorry" my mom said sniffing, my dad placed his hand on her back rubbing it to comfort my mom
" please if you need anything alaya please come to us, this can be your second home" my dad said and alaya got up walking over to my mom hugging her
" please don't cry mrs dolan, I'm okay now" she said and my mom stood up wrapping her arms around alaya,
" I'm so proud of you for doing everything on your own" my mom said rubbing Alayas back, alaya flexed her back at my moms touch so I stood up and touched Alayas back and my mom let go of her
" thank you guys" I said and they both hugged me.
" LETS HAVE A BONFIRE" Grayson yelled and we all laughed, we put our plates in the sink and walked outside to the fire pit in the middle of the yard away from the house
