Hide Me - Dolan Twins

Fourteen - Not tryna be cool

Ethan's POV

It had been almost a month since Grayson left home and I've heard nothing from him since then. What kind of brother; no what kind of TWIN brother would just vanish from his home unannounced without at least telling his own sibling if he was still alive and all in one piece?, which was a constant concern I had for Grayson considering his reckless personality. It still baffles me after twenty years, how negligent Grayson is when it comes to other peoples feelings. Believe me if I could trade my heartless, stubborn brother for a caring, loving, one I would. Grayson wasn't always this wretched. When we were younger we always used to do everything together and there was never a time when would leave each others side; we were always together through the thick and thin. But now i'm not even aware if he's still in the same continent as me anymore. It's bad enough the treatment I have to constantly endure from him but now he's found another victim to terrorize, mentally and physically. Guiliana is a very smart girl from what I've observed and I'm sure she has an idea of how much of a dick Grayson can be even before I warned her about him, but she hasn't even had a taste of his full destructive potential yet. Grayson is a womanizer; he is the parasite in a parasitic relationship, he benefits from his host and permanently harms them in the process. I had been the first hand witness to his dirty deeds many times before. I've seen many girls fall in love with my brother unaware of what he was really doing behind the scenes; going to strip clubs, picking up hookers off the streets, and anything that a man with a relationship should not be doing. I had been silent about Grayson's unfaithfulness to women for too long. I needed to make sure the same thing would not happen to Guiliana even if that meant stopping the problem at the source. Others saw him as a powerful and scary man but I knew who he really was and he hated that I saw through him and would set him straight. Bottom line- I need to find Grayson.

Guiliana's POV

Weeks have passed by and I've yet to hear anything from Grayson and Ethan seems to be as out of the loop as I am. Did I scare him off? Was I uninteresting? Were my kissing skills really that mediocre? I had been reminiscing about that afternoon ever since it happened and I was expecting Grayson to make the next move by now, like any man with interest in a woman should. But instead he just fled the scene with no trace just how a premeditated murderer would leave the scene of a crime where they left their victims wounded, lifeless body behind. Ever since Grayson left I feel wounded and lifeless too; inside and out. Is this really it? Is this end of the line for us? Is a 'charity case' all i'll ever be to him and nothing more? My mind is consuming me. I need to stop blowing this whole thing out of proportion, I don't need anymore stress in my life especially after being in that horrible place for so long. I left the comfort of my king size bed to find something that truly comforted, and relaxed me; nature. I was only suppose to stay a month but I wasn't ready. Ethan could sense I wasn't and forced me to stay. I was glad he did. I walked through the house to reach the sliding doors. The hallways were dead silent since Grayson wasn't here and Ethan left to 'Do something', whatever that meant. I reached and opened the big glass sliding doors that lead to the backyard and I was greeted by the noise of birds chirping and the sweet smell of pine. I skipped along the stone pathway and I then took a seat on a wooden bench that was surrounded by gorgeous bushes of red roses. The weather was just right; not too hot, not too cold and there was not a cloud in sight. I then decided to lay on the bench and stare at the birds that were flying around. I wish I could be as free and careless as them. The soothing noise of birds chirping was making me super drowsy and my eyes soon began to give up on me. I was laying there for a good while until I heard something in the distance. Oh shit. I immediately got up to investigate; I couldn't let whatever made that noise get to me before I got to it. The noise was the rustling of a rose bush across the garden and it was moving to roughly to be a small animal. It can't be Ethan, he left the house and he most definitely does not seem like the type to be a peeping tom. I spotted a conveniently place shovel and held it up; ready to be used for my own self defense. Oh fuck what if those people found me. I walked closer and closer up to the bush and it still continued to shake. It seemed as if whatever was behind the bush didn't care that it's cover had been blown. Carelessness was a very familiar trait someone I knew has and he's definitely not shy about showing it. Could it be? My heart began racing so fast, any faster and it would pound it's way out of my chest. I finally reached the bush and my anxiety levels blew through the roof, I could feel the shovel trembling in my shaking hands. I took a deep breath and mentally prepared myself for the worst. I then raised the shovel with one hand and rushed my self around the bush with my other hand shielding my face from the jagged horns of the rose bush. With my eyes squinted and my vision blocked I quickly launched the shovel at the blurry object standing there and I heard a loud scream. I then heard a thump on the the ground. Oh fuck did I just kill someone with a gardening tool? I finally took my hand away from my face and when I opened my eyes I could not believe who was laying down on the floor in front of me. No fucking way.
