~ Alice's pov ~

I'm in Graysons arms when I see everyone in his living room. Owen, Gabe, miles, Nolan, and Harper.

I clench onto Grays shirt when I feel another sharp pain go through my bleeding leg. "Omg-" Harper runs up to us.

"Place her on the couch I'll grab bandages." Harper runs out of the room as Grayson takes me to the couch where the rest of my brothers are.

I wince when he places me on the couch. "Rest her leg up." Gabe gently puts my leg up on the coffee table.

"Gabe go grab scissors." Grayson looks up at him. I look at gray confused. "Scissors?" Nolan and I say scared at the same time.

"So we can cut the pants." Grayson reply's.

"No need to I brought shorts." Harper runs back into the living room with her hands full of first aid supplies.

"Everybody out!" Harper yells making all the boys leave except for Grayson.

"Grayson you too." Harper kneels in-front of me as she places the supplies on the table.

Grayson hesitates before walking away. "I need you to change into these shorts. It'll make it easier." Harper gets up to sit beside me.

"But it hurts too much." I say weakly. "I'm going to help." Harper kisses my head before helping me change into the shorts.

"Oh my- aly." When Harper looks at my wounds her eyes go wide.

"Are you guys almost done!" Grayson says anxiously.

"Yes come in." Harper presses a towel to my leg. I grab her arm but she doesn't move. "Harper stop!" I cry out.

"Ivan already did that! Not again! Please." Tears leave my eyes as more pain shoots through me.

"Alice let her clean your leg." Owen sits beside me and pulls me into his side. I dig my head into his chest as Harper cleans all the wounds on my leg.

"They're deep cuts but I don't think you'll need stitches. That's good." Harper begins to wrap my leg in bandages.

"Are there any other wounds we need to fix?" Grayson looks at me when I pull away from Owen.

"Some on her arms but I already fixed those." Ivan speaks up. Everyone in the room turns to him.

"Thank you Ivan." Harper smiles at him.

Grayson walks closer to me which makes Owen move away. Grayson takes his spot and sits beside me. "Can I check?" He asks softly.

I close my eyes and nod. He pulls up my sleeves and checks the little cuts from the glass.

"Bruises?" Grayson asks. But I don't answer. I swallow and look down.

I pull the sleeves from Ivan sweater so the cover my hands. "Aly, tell us everything." Nolan says.

This makes me look up. I see him sitting across the living room. My eyes begin to water when I see the worry on his face.

"I'm sorry." I look down to my hands. "Im sorry I ruined your night."

"You didn't ruin anyone's night." Nolan says.

"I shouldn't have gone home." I shake my head as more tears roll down my cheeks.

"I shouldn't have let you go home." Nolan voice cracks.

I look up again, this time I see everyone looking at me with worry in their eyes.

"Aly we need you to talk." I turn to my right to see Grayson. He slowly brings his hand up to wipe the tears from my face.

I take in a deep breath.
