Chapter 9

The song above is First Time by Liam Payne

I felt strange for days, I wanted something but couldn't figure out what, Grayson never left my side. He really felt like shit for treating me the way he did the last 20 years. I got sick so much, today it was a lot better. I got sick a lot less. My shoulder hurt and was still in a sling since I was shot. It hurt to move my left shoulder. My left leg above my knee also hurt, being shot sucked so badly. My right knee and ankle were still in a cast. I couldn't walk for 6-8 weeks. The doctor said all my injuries were Severe and I was very lucky to be alive. Currently Grayson was passed out his head on my shoulder. Connor was asleep on the couch in the room we were in, Ethan was awake watching tv with me. It was quiet, we hadn't said much to each other since I got home. Ethan had that look in his eyes, the one that said I'm so sorry for what happened, I didn't blame my brothers one bit for what I went through, I blamed Evan. They still haven't told me anything about him.

"Ethan?" I say breaking the silence, and looking at him.

"Yes Ari?" He asks looking away from Shadowhunters to answer me.

"What happened to Evan? And the rest of the Diablos?" I ask curiously.

"They're dead," Grayson answers for Ethan, waking up.

"I killed Evan..." Grayson said looking at me as I look at him.

"He's dead?" I ask my voice breaking slightly.

Grayson wraps his arms around me carefully, "He'll never ever hurt you again, after I found out he tried to rape you while you guys were together I couldn't let him live Baby Girl."

I let the tears fall, feeling relieved that I'll never have to face him again.

Conor wakes up and stands up, "We couldn't let him get away with what he did babe."

I bury my face against Graysons chest and let out all the pain I held in for so long. Grayson held me carefully.


It hurt to see my sister so hurt, but I knew she buried so much for so long, it's what I do too. It's almost as if we should have been twins instead of me and E. I held her until she got it all out, I wiped her tears and kissed her on the forehead.

"Shh it's okay Ari," I say.

"You can call me Bella G, it's okay," she says surprising me, "I'm starting to like it, but only you can call me Bella no one else."

She cracks a smile, something I haven't seen from her in awhile.

I kiss her forehead again and say, "Okay Bella."

We definitely were getting off on the right foot.

"Are you up to see the girls? They miss you and want to see you," I ask her.

"Sure," She says smiling at me.

"E go get the girls," I say.

Ethan leaves and returns with Rose, Adi, Tori, Lisa and Peyton. I get off Ari's bed to let her spend some time with the girls. They all carefully sit on her bed, Adi climbs up next to her and carefully hugs her,

"I am so glad you're alive Ari, I thought you were going to die."

I leave the room as the girls all cry and talk things out.

I felt better and this was the first time I really left Ari's side since we got back from Tulum, Mexico.


A/n hello! Sorry this is one of the shortest chapters.

Thoughts??

Gray has changed! Let's see if that sticks 😉

Evan is gone and Ari is relieved!

Ps I am too! I'm glad that Psycho is dead!
