Chapter 2 It Begins

Brahms motioned me to head up stairs first, I could feel his eyes watching me from behind. We both finally made our way upstairs.

"Alright Brahms, head to the bathroom. Time to clean up your face." I looked at him with a stern looked.

He nodded his head and went towards the bathroom and sat on a chair. I grabbed a facecloth and ran it under the fossett with lukewarm water and some soap. The whole time Brahms was just watching me.

I went to stand in front him.

"Just the mask Greta, not ready for you to see my face" his man voice was talking now.

I nervous nodded and began to wash the mask on his face. He continued to watch me and all I saw was his eyes. I never saw such eye color before, his was nice. One of his hands then moved at held my arm that was washing his face. What was a moment felt like many as we both just stared at one another, until I broke eye contact.

"I'm going to find you clean clothes, I'll be right back and don't move." I told him. He nodded and stayed.

I don't know what came over me but I better not let that happen again. I went to his parents room and went through his dad clothes, hoping he left some stuff behind. Lucky enough I found a pair Pj's and went back to the bathroom where Brahms did stay where he was.

"Here you go, I found some clothes for you to wear. So change and I'll meet you in your room to say goodnight." I was about to leave when Brahms spoke.

"Greta? I don't know how buttons work?"

"Ok, I'll turn around to let you put your pants on then I'll help with the top." I turned around to let him get dressed. So many thoughts were through my mind. Tonight happened so fast, Cole is dead and who knows how long news would take until they will end up here. What will Malcolm do, will he listen and not say a word. And with the cherry on top of that, I'm with the real Brahms who was supposedly dead. Suddenly I was taken out of my thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm done putting my pants on Greta."

I turn around the see Brahms topless, to be honest I never expected that this was under that shirt. I cleared my throat.

"Ok arms out." I ordered him.

He put one arm in the sleeve and did the same with the other. I started to button up his top, I managed to button it all the up. Cole was tall but I think Brahms was taller.

"Time for bed Brahms, lets go" I told him.

He didn't say a word and went to his bed.

"Lie down" he did what I told him. "Now Brahms, go straight to sleep, I'll be just across the hall.

I was about to leave when he spoke in his boy voice.

"Kiss?"

"No kiss tonight. Im sorry but that's your punishment."

Again I was going to leave the room until Brahms caught my arm.

"Greta, I'm sorry I badly hurt the lad. But you did ask for my help."

"I did and your right but there was a better way to deal with him Brahms."

"He was going to take you away from me, mommy and daddy left me. I couldn't lose you either, I'm sorry Greta I'm really am."

By his tone of voice it sounded like he was ready to cry.

"I hear you, we will talk more about this in the morning alright?" I padded his hand.

"For now time for bed."

He covered himself with the blanket and turned away from me, I could tell he was mad that I didn't forgive him but I could not let him get his way. I have stay strong and not let him win. If this is how I'm going to survive until I make my next move then so be it. I went to my room and laid down. To overwhelmed to even put clean clothes on, soon all my emotions caught with me and silent cried myself to sleep. I don't know what tomorrow will bring.
