Gracies POV (6 Years Old)

"But I wanna come with you" I whined as Jay began to put his coat on,

"You know the rules Gracie" Jay said "It won't be safe for you so I need you to stay here" he explained causing me to whine even more as my frown deepened "anyway, you've stayed here loads of times before without me" he commented "what's so different about today?" He asked me as I looked down at my fingers and shrugged my shoulders,

"Nothing" I admitted "I just wanna come with you" I complained causing my brother to sigh,

"Well you can't, so you're gonna stay here with these guys ok? Listen when they tell you to do something and be good" he lectured causing me to stomp my foot,

"I'm not staying here it's not fair" I cried causing Jay to look at me disapprovingly,

"You'll do as you're told Gracelyn and that's final" he said as Adam and Hailey approached,

"Ready to go?" Hailey asked my brother who nodded after he gave me a pointed stare,

"Please Jay" I cried as I clung on to his jacket,

"Gracie" he warned as I felt someone remove my hands from my brother and lift me up, holding me against there body with a firm grip,

"You go we've got her" I heard Adam say as Jay looked both shocked and angry by what he was witnessing,

"You sure?" My brother asked as I continued to struggle against Adams firm grip he had on my arms,

"Yeah, you've not got much time you need to get moving" he said as Jay left down the stairs with Hailey, leaving me to scream and cry,

"Gracie" Adam said softly "I need you to calm down for me ok?" He asked, but my struggles remained persistent as Adams hold on me remained strong making it impossible for me to get away from him. I just wanted to be with my brother! Why weren't they listening to me?

"Enough" he said in a much firmer voice causing my struggles to almost cease "Gracie stop" Adam said as he gave me a stern glare. I stopped almost instantly and his grip loosened but still remained,

"If I let you go you have to promise me you're not gonna make a run for it" he spoke and I nodded angrily. He released his grip completely and I stood there angrily with tears pouring down my face before I ran towards the break room and slammed the door shut.

I knew my behaviour probably wasn't the best way to go about it, but I was scared that Jay would get hurt again! He had been shot not that long ago and had to stay in hospital for weeks! It was super scary and I didn't want anything to hurt him ever again! I threw myself on to the sofa and sobbed as a wave of different emotions washed over me. I was sad that my brother would walk away from me when I was clearly so upset. I was sad that he might get hurt again. I couldn't loose one of my big brothers!

There was a slight knock at the door but I was to busy crying to notice; that was until I felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to look up in to the concerned eyed of Kim,"Oh sweetie" she sighed as she urged me to sit up "Come here" she said as she pulled me in to a hug, allowing me to pour all of my emotions out.

I cried for what felt like a lifetime, but in reality it was about five minutes, until my sobs died down and turned in to hiccups,

"Want some water?" Adam asked from his place at the table and I nodded silently, accepting the glass when he handed it to me and began to take a drink, "What's going on babe?" He asked concerned, "you've never been like this before when you've been left with us" he finished,
