Quote of the day:
"Our wounds are often the openings into the best and worst of us..."

Jess's POV:

"What are you doing here!?" I heard Grayson scream startling me as I pricked my finger. I groaned in pain yet it immediately faded as I saw the beautiful crimson red blood drip out.

I was about to prick myself again until I heard Grayson scream again. I picked up my things and walked in the direction of his cabin only to find Grayson and another guy who's head was turned around in the opposite direction.

I looked towards Grayson to see his face pressed together tightly as he tried his best to control his anger.

"Why did you become so silent huh? I thought we were cool Grayson don't make me do this again." I still didn't know who this guy was and why he was threatening him.

"Do what again if I may ask?" Grayson's face widened in surprise as he heard my voice and looked up at my face worried. Suddenly the mysterious person turned their head around to face mine.

"Aww who's this Grayson? Another person who's heart will be broken? Or even another girl who committed suicide?" I looked at Grayson confused as to what he was saying, was he referring to his mum or someone else.

"I'm Grayson's friend and you are the bitch I presume?" Grayson's face immediately changed as he was trying to hold back a laugh whereas the guy in front of me looked at me pissed.

"Grayson go into your little cabin and wait as I talk to your friend who I'm sure you have paid to be your friend for the day." Grayson made eye contact at me as he tried to signal don't talk to him I shook my head no, he sighed before walking into his cabin.

"Why are you being so rude to him? He's already had enough trouble in his life and now you're adding onto it!" I screamed at him finally releasing the anger that built up inside of me.

"What do you mean trouble in his life? He's been the one who's troubled everyone." I rolled my eyes at him as I tried my hardest not to slap him.

"Oh, well let me see? His mother committed suicide, his brother and father blamed it on him, his dad left him for the army which his brother blamed him on, he's tried to commit suicide twice and nearly a third if I recall. His brother hates him so why should he live?" I said all in one breath while staring at the tree ahead of me trying to avoid his gaze.

"What, what do you mean he tried to commit again? His voice started breaking as I turned around to face him. It was at that moment that I realised that I was speaking to his brother Ethan.

"Shit I wasn't supposed to talk to you, Grayson told me to never communicate with you. I need to go." I tried to walk away from him but was quickly pulled back by his tough grasp.

"No, tell me everything now."

"Why should I tell you what's going on with him if you're one of the reasons why he feels like this?" He looked down at his shoes as he scratched his head.

"I know I can't fix anything right now as I've broken him enough but who are you and why are you with my brother?"

"My name is not your concern but you can call me broken too I guess. I sent a letter to a random address a few weeks ago and I guess it landed up at your house." Ethan quickly looked at me with a smile.

"Wait you're the mystery letter girl?" I looked at him confused. "You're the reason why Grayson smiles in the house. That's why he always checks the mailbox whenever he can, it's because of you." I smiled unknowingly as I imagined Grayson smiling, his smiles were rare yet I managed to remember each one.

"Yeah I am. Wait, have you read any of his or my letters?" I asked nervously. He shook his head immediately.

"Even if I'm a dick to him I let him have his privacy, unless he's about to do something crazy like he's done twice in the past now." I gave him a sad smile as I imagined the sight of seeing a lifeless body in front of me.

"Why are you a dick to him though? You're his only relative left yet you treat him like shit."

"It's just always been a message given to me by my friends, family and most importantly our dad. They've been so negative and made up so many things that I think they're true." I scoffed at his response.

"That cannot be your excuse for putting him through this much misery. I've been through hell and back without anyone by my side and always wished for a sibling yet here Grayson is going through the same thing yet his sibling isn't there for him. You better fix this before something else happens." Ethan's jaw dropped as I laid the truth down. I cleared my throat and crossed my arms waiting for a response.

"I just want to say Thank You for being his friend, he just needs one person to help him get through this and I guess you're the one. Just please don't hurt him like any of us did." I smiled at him as I nodded my head letting him know I would never make that mistake.

He coughed for a few seconds before waving goodbye and leaving me alone in the forest.

I decided to finally go into Grayson's cabin and entered to see a little pillow fortress made. I looked around the room to try and find Grayson but then heard some noise from the dining area.

I peeked through the side to see Grayson bringing out a bowl of popcorn while muttering curse words under his breath.

"HEY!" I screamed scaring him resulting in the popcorn falling everywhere.

"What was that for!?" He screamed as he tried to salvage the popcorn.

"I just felt like it." I stated as I walked to the fortress and put a blanket on top of myself.

Grayson soon followed after as we sat across from each other in a comfortable silence.

"I just wanted to say sorry about my brother outside, I didn't know he was coming and I hope he didn't annoy you." I silently smiled knowing Grayson didn't hear anything that happened outside.

"It was fine, we were just talking about who I was, he's ok with me coming to your house now." He smiled before placing his head on the couch.

"Why don't we try and write something together?"
