It was nice to see the girls, after spending some time with them I needed to take my meds and sleep. I carefully grabbed my cell and texted Grayson,

Gray, I'm in a lot of pain, I think it's time and I need sleep

Okay baby girl I'm coming

Thanks G

Anything for you Bella

I look at the girls, "Grayson is coming its that time again and I'm tired."

Adi and the rest of the girl's nod as Adi say, "Okay Ari, I love you twin."

" I love you too, " I say smiling.

Grayson appeared with my meds, a bottle of water and Ethan. The girls left waving goodbye, my brothers helped me sit up and take my meds then laid me back down. They both climbed into the bed with me, one on each side, we watched Shadowhunters until I fell asleep.

After overhearing Tori and the girls talk about Tori's feelings, I needed to talk to her alone and tell her how I feel about her. I headed towards Tori's room, I heard her shower going, I knocked twice then heard her beautiful voice reply,

"Come in!"

I opened her door and stepped inside her beautiful room, I looked around seeing photos of her, Adi, Ari, and Rose.

I hear a soft gasp and turn towards her bathroom door, seeing Tori in nothing but a towel.

"Lucas? What are you doing?" she asks holding her towel against her even though it was not going anywhere.

I closed the space between us and smashed my lips against hers, we kissed for a few moments before she pulled away with a huge smile on her face.

"Tori, I love you. I've loved you since I met your beautiful face, will you be my girlfriend?" I ask, looking into her eyes.

She nodded, "Yes Lucas."

I gently grabbed her waist and pulled her to me, I put my lips on hers and kissed her. Then I walked to her door and locked it, then I walked back to her, picked her up and brought her to her bed. I laid her down and smiled at her.

What happened next you can only guess 😉

I walk out of my room, heading to where Ari was. I walk into the room quietly, Grayson and Ari are passed out, Ethan is awake watching Z Nation, he looks at me when I walk in,

"She won't be awake for a while, Gray gave her those meds again, " he says looking back at the tv.

" It's okay, she needs rest, she went through hell and she also needs time, " I say to Ethan as I sit on the couch.

"Conor, she adores you I hope you know that if she didn't have you the last 6 months, she probably would have killed herself, gone on drugs, or Evan would have beat her to death, you were her knight in shining armor. What you did for her saved her from self-destructive, " Ethan says to me not looking away from Z Nation.

"I had no idea how she felt for me until she told Evan, I honestly thought she only saw me as friend material, she never once hinted that she wanted everything to be real, or I would have won her over, " I say looking at the tv.

"Trust me, none of us did, we didn't even know Evan was abusing her until her confrontation with him in Mexico, " Ethan says as a zombie comes out of nowhere seemingly on crack or something because he was faster than any zombie I've seen. (mind you they are staring at the tv and talking lol)

"Those bruises at the party, that bugged me... I did see bruises during our modeling sessions but she said it was nothing every time... I should have pushed harder for info.." I say trailing off.

"No, you would have pushed her away, she would have closed herself off and kept her distance, it's what she's good at, it's what Gray would do, lowkey I swear they are more alike than me and he is, " Ethan says.

I heard a soft whimper come from Ari, Grayson immediately woke up, looking around, then down at Ari, that's when the screaming started,

"No Don't!"

"Get away from me!"

"you're a monster...if only my brothers knew what you were doing"

"NOOOO!"

Then it was literally just Ari screaming, Grayson tried to wake her up but she hit him,

"Go get the doctor now!" Grayson yelled to me.

I nodded, got up and bolted from the room, going to grab the doctor. I returned with the doctor, Aris screams filled the house, all the girls were in the hall with tears in their eyes, Noah was holding Adi, Alec was holding Rose, Lucas was holding Tori and Peyton and Lisa was holding each other. They looked scared and slightly confused.

I entered the room behind the doctor and shut the door, Ari's screams filling my ears and shattering my stone gangster heart, something no girl has ever been able to do before. The doctor gave her something to wake her up, she was shaking and crying. A sight we haven't really seen before, Grayson was kneeling on the bed, gently grabbing Ari's face to make her look at him.

"Hey, your safe Baby Girl, no one can hurt you here, I'm not leaving your side," Grayson said to her.

The look on his face was something we have never seen, he genuinely loved his sister, he cared so much about her and it never showed until now. I sat on the couch as she looked away from Grayson to me, Grayson let her face go and laid back down next to her. I got up and walked to the other side of her and sat down.

I gently took her hand into mine, I leaned down and placed my lips against hers, a soft gasp emitted from her mouth before she responded by kissing me back.

"Ari, I love you I should have done more to prevent this," I say softly to her.

She looks up at me and shakes her head, "No, this isn't your fault guys, stop blaming yourselves, especially you Gray! You didn't force Evan to play with fire , he betrayed you guys so badly and  Violated my trust. You didn't tell him to do this to me, you didn't hold a gun to his head and say hurt my baby sister. I should have walked away 6 months ago when I had the chance, this is Evans fault and he's dead so it's okay," Ari says to us, tears in her eyes.

Both Grayson and I wiped her tears away and hugged her, it was a 3 way hug that was kind of weird but the smile on her face said it was okay by her. It sucked that she was stuck in bed, but she couldn't walk, she had a bullet go into one knee and the other was broken. She was coping better than I thought. Ethan laid by her feet, she rested her head against me and drifted back to sleep. The nightmares stayed away for now. But for how long? Those last ones were intense and meant something horrible.

I fell asleep shortly after Ari did, then Grayson and Ethan passed out. None of us left Ari, when Sniper came in, I opened my eyes and he shook his head and softly said, "Sleep boss, we'll talk tomorrow morning."

I nodded to him and he left the room. I fell back to sleep.

A/n I wasn't going to update this today but I got inspired by music to.

Thoughts?

Inline comments are my favorite, they make me laugh to see the reactions to what is going on.

Grayson is a big ball of mush! I love it but will it last?

What do you think Ari was dreaming about? Evan or one of the other Diablos torturing her?
