Chapter 61

-Grayson’s POV-

Sixteen years ago

“You are such a loser,” Liam taunted, tackling me to the ground. Mud splattered around us as we hit the earth, rolling in a chaotic tangle of limbs. I couldn’t help but laugh as I tried to wrestle him off me.

“Oh, you’re gonna get it now,” I said, grinning as I tried to get head locked under my arm. We’d been waging this silly war for months, a constant battle over who was the stronger one, and neither of us could let it go.

Just then, a voice interrupted us. “Hey, dumb meatheads, it’s time to eat!”

I turned to see Elaine standing nearby, arms crossed, watching us with a look of utter disdain. The distraction was all Liam needed he used the moment to slip out of my grip, pinning me to the ground in one swift move. He looked over at Elaine. triumphant. “Count it!”

She rolled her eyes. “Boys are so disgusting.”

“Elaine!” Lian snapped, grinning like he’d just won a medal, while I continued struggling beneath him, unable to break free.

“Fine. One two… three. Liam is the winner. Ding ding ding.” She said the words with zero enthusiasm, her arms still folded, looking like she wanted to be anywhere else.

Ham finally let go, throwing his arms up in victory. Finally, I’ve done it! I am victorious!”

I pushed myself up, laughing. “You’re so weird”

Elaine scoffed from her spot, waving us off. “Come on, meatheads. Go get yourselves cleaned up. Mom told me to tell you food’s been ready for, like, an hour. And if she asks, I did.”

“What were you doing for an hour, Elaine?” I asked, wiping mud from my arms. She shot me a guilty grin. “Nothing.”

“Elaine, come on!” I huffed. “You promised you’d wait for me. How many movies did you watch?”

She shrugged, feigning innocence. “Maybe just Cinderella. And maybe a little Princess and the Frog.”

“You and 1–we are not cousins anymore,” I said, giving her a mock glare.

Liam looked at me, rolling his eyes. “You know sometimes I question our friendship. Because why are you watching Disney princesses with your ten year old cousin. Sorry, really annoying ten year old cousin.”

Elaine’s face twisted into a scowl as she retorted, “You’re the annoying one, and I cannot stand you.”

Liam mimicked her, making his voice high–pitched. “You’re annoying, and I cannot stand you.”

I sighed, shaking my head. “And I’m the one with the problem here.” I pointed toward the house. “Let’s go get cleaned up before Aunt Eloisa decides to explode on us thrn reports me to my mum. I don’t think I can survive a lecture from both her and my mom.” Something dark flickered in my mind. “I already get enough from my father.”
