Oh Brother

The blame

I storm down the stairs.
I see Grayson in the kitchen. All of his friends must have left.

"W-why would you do that?" I spit out.

I normally never stand up to my brothers, but today I was angry and hurt. Grayson looks up from what he was doing.

"Why did I do what?" He smirks, acting confused. Tears start to fill my eyes

'Please, don't cry.
If you cry then they win.'

"You know what you did! You knew that Ethan was going into your room! You set me up because you knew that he'd be angry finding me in your room especially because of some girl that he had with him. You wanted to see me pay for something that you made me do!" I yell. I can feel my body start to shake in anger.

Grayson's face drops he looks shocked.
Shocked that I stood up for myself.

"Bailey, just calm down." He says putting his hand on my shoulder,I slap it off as I step backwards.

"Shut the fuck up Grayson ! Ethan hit me because of you! He hit me over some dumb girl and you knew he'd do that!" I yell as tears start to fall down my face.
"And he's still pissed and he's gonna kill me for being in his room! And it's all. Your. Fault!" I sob while punching into his stomach.

Grayson wraps his arms around me. As I push away. But he only pulls me in tighter.

"He hit me Grayson, and it's your fault." I sob into his chest.

"I'm so sorry Bailey, I didn't know he had a girl with him or else I wouldn't have set you up like that." He whispers.

Ethan runs down the stairs.

"What the fuck is going on down here?" He says with confusion laced in his voice.

I start shaking with fear at his presence. I'm still buried into Grayson's chest.

Everything goes silent.
I can hear them talking. But I can't hear what they're saying.

Im brought back to reality as a hand grabs my shoulder. I snap around, trembling with fear. The hand was Ethan.
I close my eyes as I start to shake more violently.

"I'm sorry! I promise I'm never gonna go into your room again!" I cry out

"Bailey! I'm not gonna hurt you!" Ethan says calmly while holding my shoulders.

"How is she supposed to believe that when you just hit her over one of your hoes?" Grayson scoffs

"Shut up Grayson, you're the one who made her go into my room when you knew Cloe was over. So don't put the blame on me and act like it's not your fault." Ethan snaps back.

"Well I wasn't the one who hit her was I?" Grayson yells.

"Don't act like you haven't hurt her in the past. We both have!"

My palms start to sweat as my heart starts racing even more.

'All of this is you're fault'

Ethan looks back to me with a concerned look on his face.

"I'm not gonna hurt you. But, just promise me that you'll never go into my room again. Ok?" Ethan says.

"I-I w-w-won't, I p-promise." I stutter.

My vision starts to get darker.

"Ethan!" Grayson yells.

"What? Now that she's promised that she'll never go in my room I ca-."

"Can't you see that she's having a panic attack? But yet that's all your worried about?"

'Look at all of this drama that you cause.'

I start to breathe even faster when suddenly I collapse to the ground.

"Bailey!" I hear a voice yell.

Sorry for leaving y'all on a cliffhanger!
What do you think will happen next? 🤔
Thank you for all the love and support!

Peace ✌️
