AN HOUR LATER WE DROP Izzy off at home and we pick up Ems and we all head back to my house. I packed a bag for Ems before we left their house to make sure she had some clothes for the next few days, pyjamas and underwear.

When we walk in the house, my dad and Sophie both stand to their feet.

“Hey guys,” Sophie greets. She comes round to meet us and with a warm smile she slips her arm around Emily’s shoulder. “Come on, I’ll take you up and show you where you’re sleeping. Abi is excited to have you here.”

Ems smiles up at her and says a quiet thank you. She briefly looks at her brother and he nods his head and winks. “Go get settled. I’ll see you in the morning.”

My dad comes over to us and his jaw tics with anger when he takes in Grayson’s face. “Grayson, son, we really need to go to the police over this. He’s hit a minor.”

Grayson shakes his head resolutely. “No police, I don’t want us to end up in foster care.”

My dad looks conflicted. “We’d make sure that wouldn’t happen.”

I shake my head at him. “They wouldn’t let them stay with us when there isn’t the room here, Dad.”

“Well then, we’ll convert the loft space, or we can turn the den and my office into two bedrooms,” he says determined and I step towards him and wrap my arms around his waist and hug him. “I love you, Dad. Can we say he’ll sleep on it and let you know tomorrow?”

“Of course,” he replies, kissing the top of my head and squeezing me tightly. “All of you get to bed, you must be exhausted.”

Dom pulls Grayson in for a manly hug before he disappears upstairs and Grayson and I head to my room. Grayson throws himself down on my bed and stares up at the ceiling. I lie down next to him and rest my weight on my elbow and study his bruised face.

“Hey, stop letting your thoughts runaway with you. Tell me what you need?”

Grayson pulls his faraway gaze back to me. “I just need you here with me. Can we get in bed and just watch some mindless TV?”

“Sure thing. Why don’t you go take a shower and I’ll find something we can watch?”

He nods in agreement and pulling himself to his feet; he takes off to my ensuite. When I hear the shower, I stand to my feet and change into my pyjamas. I decide to nip downstairs and get us both something to eat and drink, as we have had nothing for hours. Sophie is in the kitchen deep in conversation with my dad when I enter the kitchen area.

“Hey honey,” Sophie says brightly, “How are you feeling?”

I rest my hands on the kitchen counter and shake my head. “I honestly don’t know. It was horrible. How can anyone speak to their children the way he does?”

Sophie puts her cup down and hurries around to pull me in for a hug.
