Special...yes; Ordinary...Probably Not

Message

Gray rolled over and saw Scarlet sleeping next to him. He laughed lightly for no reason and sat up. He tried to be as quiet as he could, but in the end failed.

Scarlet woke up and glared at him, "I was having a peaceful dream."

"Oh? What was it about?" Gray smiled.

"In the dream you were dying a painful death, but you woke me up. I hate you."

Gray laughed, knowing she was kidding, hopefully. "My dream was about Jack getting lowered slowly into lava. Him burning and screaming made me really happy inside."

"I have a feeling you aren't joking."

"I'm not, I'm being serious."

"So you are a sadist?"

"No, I just hate Jack. That's all." He shrugged on his jacket that was laying on the floor by his bed.

"What's up with you and him anyway?"

"Yeah I want to know too?" A male's voice said behind Gray.

Gray jumped, "holy shit!" Ethan and Lucy appeared from the shadows, smiling. "What the fuck?!"

"Hello," Lucy greeted. "That's a nice way to greet your friends Gray."

"How did you get in here?" Scarlet asked, still scared.

"Through the front door," Ethan answered.

"No shit," Gray said and sighed, "anyways why do you want to know about why Jack and I hate each other?"

"Because it would sound very interesting. I mean come on, Scarlet doesn't even know!" Lucy pointed out. "And she knows like everything about you!"

"There's a reason for that," Gray muttered quietly so none of them could hear. He said louder, "maybe, just maybe, you guys could mind your own business for once."

Ethan thought for a minute, "I don't see that happening. Now tell us."

Gray sighed, "well, do you know he is related to me?"

Scarlet looked confused, "what?"

"I will take that as a no." Gray shook his head, "we are cousins. We were actually pretty close, until my mom died. Then from then on, his mom and dad, since his mom is sisters with my mom, told Jack that my dad was crazy and all that crap. I don't blame them and I don't disagree with them. But after that, they told Jack quite a few bad stuff about my family and even me. So he hates me now and you know me, I hate anyone who hates me. And I also have a good reason to hate him."

"And that is?"

"He is a backstabber. Both literally and metaphorically. You won't remember," he pointed at Lucy, "because you weren't here and you probably won't remember because you have a terrible memory," pointing at Ethan. He let his arm drop by his side. "But back whenever that was, he started to spread rumors about my family."

"But isn't he your family?" Ethan asked.

Gray sighed, "when I say family, I mean my brothers, father, and me. And no one knows we are related."

"Why not Abby or Ashley?"

"Because Abby was only 1 and she couldn't do much same with Ashley, she was 4. Tommy was 8, so those rumors weren't so bad, but I still don't like people talking shit about my family."

"Oh, alright I'm there now."

"Wow, it just got brighter in here." Gray rolled his eyes. "I am not going to repeat these rumors, but once I heard them, I was gonna kill him."
