10.
I sat across from my uncle, as there was a bowl of chips in front of us. I wasn't quite hungry, but reggie made me eat. As he knows I hardly do, due to financial reasons. "Thirsty?" Reggie questioned me.
"I'll just have water." I told him, as he shook his head.
"No no no, you can get whatever you want." He stated.
"Uncle reggie, I'm not 15 anymore. I just want water, I like water." I explained, as the atmosphere of the restaurant we were in was 90's. Reggie and I sat in stalls, the milkshakes and packaging of foods matched the theme. It was settling, calming.
"Fine." Reggie spat, as I rolled my eyes. A waiter came back, Reggie saying to bring a jug of water for me and he'll have a milkshake. "Ok, down to business." I sighed heavily, as I leant forward. Seeing Reggie bring his phone out, showing up a photo.
It was Grayson and Ethan, Ethan doesn't have colour in his hair anymore and Grayson... he looked happy. My heart ached seeing their faces again, I rubbed my eyes. "How do you know, Ethan and Grayson dolan?" Reggie asked.
"How do you know I know them?" I quizzed him, folding my arms.
"Don't play games Deanna." As soon as Reggie said that I gulped, I remembered last time I done that to him. I never disobeyed him a day since that.
"I served them at a place I worked, they then later that day. They helped me with my car, then they saved my ass from becoming a bloody pulp. I moved in with them." I explained.
"Deanna Winston, the dead rose have seen the photos. They know you were arrested, I need you to go back to the boys." He said, knowing when he says my last name as well. It means it's going to get way more serious, life or death serious.
"Why?" My heart pumped out of my chest.
"They think you are with me, if you go back to the twins. Then you'll be safe, then hopefully they'll find me. Do you understand?" His voice went deeper, I nodded. As we both got up, we hugged one another. Thinking why does Reggie send me away at this age, not when I was a kid. I begun to feel sorrow and imagining the boys, their reaction of when I pull into the warehouse. Feeling Reggies kiss being placed on my head, I looked up at him. He was smiling, with tears in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Whys re you crying?" I asked him.
"You look so much like your mother, you look like my sister." My eyes watered at the name of mum, reggies taken care of me since the age of 1 and a half.
"I love you uncle reggie." I told him, as he planted a kiss on my forehead.
"I love you my lil cupcake." I laughed shaking my head, as he brought me into a last hug. We walked outside, getting into our cars. Pulling out of the driveway of the café, driving the opposite way of Reggie. Wiping the tears from my face, missing my uncle already.
I turned up the radio to drown out the demons in my head, the pounding of them against my skull. Made me have a headache, I sighed heavily. Ignoring them by the music, singing along with the radio. "I'm coming, tell the world I'm coming home. I'm on my way home, it's been way to long. Need to feel real love, give my mum a hug." I sung, making me feel better. With the window down and the cool breeze blowing onto me.
It became dark, as eventually. Looking at the clock in my car, seeing it's 11:00pm. I stopped the car outside of the warehouse. Getting out, going to the lock and pushing in the code for the door to open. My heart pounding of anxiety, to see their reaction. Getting back into my car and driving in, parking the car. As I set it on a timer for it to automatically close, the lights came on. Hearing Ethan and Grayson yelling to one another. "Ethan! What the hell! Who is here?" Grayson yelled, as they ran and froze seeing my car. I slowly got out of it.
"Deanna." Ethan stated, as they stared at me. Seeing they were only both in tracksuit pants.
"Is it really you?" They questioned me, as I closed my door. Nodding.
"Yeah." I whispered, as all of a sudden. Ethan broke into a sprint at me, he picked me up onto a hug. Twirling me around.
"Oh my god! I've missed you! I've been so worried!" Ethan said, as he placed me down onto ground.
"I've missed you two." I replied, as I looked to Grayson. Who started walking to me, I let go of Ethan. As Grayson jogged to me, just pulling me into a tight hug. Knocking the wind out of me, I didn't care. I hugged Grayson back tight. Feeling his abs been pressed against me, Ethan walked around us. So I could see him, he mouthed.
"I think he's missed you more then me." I huffed quietly, as I heard a sniffle coming from Grayson. Ethan looked at him confused, I went to look at Grayson. Who his his face, I grabbed his jaw. Making him look at me, seeing he was crying.
"Hey." I said kindly. "Why are you crying?" I said sympathetically. "Grayson, look at me." I told him, as his eyes locked on mine.
"I I j-just, I was worried. That the guys that were after you got to you, I'm just glad you're ok." I spotted Ethan smiling at us, I brought Grayson into another hug.
"It's ok Grayson, I'm not going anywhere. I can take care of myself, I'm a big girl." I told him, kissing his cheek. As Ethan decided to ruin the moment.
"Hungry?" Ethan questioned, which triggered for my stomach to rumble. Grayson laughed, as my face went pink.
"Yeah." I said, as Grayson wrapped his arm around my neck.
"Come on." He said, kissing my head. In the exact same spot as Reggie kissed, we went into the kitchen. As Ethan started making me a toastie. "Where did you end up going to?" Grayson questioned me, as I couldn't tell him about how I've been sleeping in my car.
"Well, i got arrested." I started, as the both yelled.
"What!? Why?" I laughed, feeling warmth in the kitchen.
"It's fine, nothing to serious. But then I got a surprise, as my uncle reggie got me out of there." I explained, as I rocked my head side to side slightly.
"Really!? What did you guys do?" Ethan asked in a best friend tone, I was glad he was. I'm not sure if I'm his.
"We had lunch, then he had to go. Cause of work, he told me to come back to you two." I told them.
"Well I'm glad he did." Grayson said, as I smiled at him. Hearing a plate being placed onto the table in front of me.
"Thanks Eth." I told him, as I picked the warm bit of wheat in my hands. Taking a bite out of it, as I groaned in satisfaction.
"Grayson?" Ethan said to his brother.
"Yeah E?" Grayson replied, seeing him arm was resting on the back of my chair.
"Deanna is my new person." Oh my god, I looked to Grayson who's eyes widen.
"Excuse me?" Grayson was hurt.
"How does that sound to you, Deanna?" Ethan questioned me, as I set more wood to the fire.
"Sounds good." I replied, as Ethan smiled. Seeing Grayson just shake his head, playing around.
"Im hurt Ethan and Deanna. Wow." Ethan and I laughed, it was a real laugh. Not a fake one I've done all my life, I looked to the boys. Have the feeling of security, the first time it was without Reggie.
