It was now around midnight and Jason was watching over Grant again. He sat holding his hand and watching him breathe. It was really worrying him that Grant wasn't awake yet.
"Grant come on buddy you have to wake up. Your really starting to scare me here. Please wake up, I need you," Jason begged.
It was an hour later and Jason was just starting to dose off when he felt something twitch in his hand. He opened his eyes and saw Grant's eyes starting to flutter and his hand was gripping Jason's.
"That's it Grant open your eyes. Come on G you can do it, open your eyes, please," Jason encouraged.
Grant gave a low moan as his eyes opened slowly.
"Jay?" he asked hoarsely.
"Right here G I'm right here," Jason assured gripping his hand tighter his other hand reaching up to grip Grant's shoulder.
"Wh…what happened? Where am I?"
"Your at a friend's house. I'll be right back, I'm going to get the others,"
Jason got up moving to the door, but Grant gripped his hand tighter.
"No please don't leave me alone Jay," he begged.
Jason felt his heart break. He sat back down on the bed next to Grant.
"Alright, I won't leave okay I'll stay right here," he promised tightening his hold on Grant's hand.
Grant settled back in as Jason yelled for the others. Steve, Tango, Kevin and some guy Grant didn't recognize came in. The new guy sat down on the other side of Grant.
"Hey Grant, my name is Rick, I'm just going to check you over," he stated as he pulled out a pen light.
Rick told Steve to go get a bottle of water as he checked Grant's pupil response and had him follow the light with his eyes. After checking a few more things, Steve came in with his bottle of water. Grant took a few sips of it.
"What happened?" he asked again.
"What was the last thing you remember?" Jason questioned.
"We were in the basement doing an EMF sweep and that's it," Grant responded then noticing that Tango had a cast on his left arm.
"Tango what happened to your arm?"
Everyone exchanged a look.
"Guys what? What happened?" Grant asked.
"Nothing G. I'll explain it to you later, you should get some rest," Jason insisted.
"No Jay I want to know what happened. How did Tango break his arm?"
"Fell going down the stairs man. Its not that bad." Tango answered.
"Something else happened I know it did."
"Grant it's a long story. Please just get some rest and I'll tell you later."
Grant gave Jason a look before finally giving and resting back against the pillows.
"Guys why don't we go back out into the living room and give Grant a chance to catch his breath." Kevin suggested.
Rick and Tango followed Kevin out into the living room after telling Grant to rest up. Steve sat down on the other side of Grant, knowing that Jason was going to need support because Grant wasn't going to stop pushing until Jason told him.
"How long was I out?" Grant asked once the other three had left.
"A full day." Steve answered.
"A day? Jason what the hell happened?" Grant demanded sitting up in bed when it dawned on him.
"Reanna. Oh my God. I have to call her," Grant started to get out of bed when Jason stopped him.
"Slow down G. I already called her and told her you were sick. Besides its late at night, you can call her later," Jason reasoned.
Grant nodded and sat against the head board. There was silence for a few more minutes.
"Jay what really happened. I know there is more to this and I know I'm not sick. I feel fine," Grant stated.
"Grant you just woke up, please just wait until later," Jason begged.
"No I want to know now. Please Jay," Grant pleaded.
Jason let out a sigh and looked to the ground, still not sure if he should say anything.
"Jason you should go ahead and tell him. He has a right to know," Steve reasoned.
Jason finally looked Grant in the eye.
"You were possessed," Jason sighed.
Grant's eyes grew two sizes as he stared at Jason not believing what he just heard.
"What?"
"It was a demon. Rick and Kevin exocised it but it wasn't easy."
"Tell me everything." Grant insisted.
Jason spilled about everything. How Grant taunted Steve, flung Tango and Kevin across the room, how he choked Jason, how the demon let Grant talk to them, and the exorcism. Grant just sat there taking it all in. By the time Jason had finished, Grant had a look of complete horror on his face.
"So I actually broke Tango's arm?"
Jason let his gaze fall to the floor.
"Oh my God. And all the other things I did, I mean Steve I taunted you about your fears and Jason I talked about your daughter man."
"Grant it wasn't you, it was the demon possessing you. None of this is your fault." Steve reassured.
"It was my memories he was using and my mind and body. I mean how can you not hate me for what I did to you guys?"
"Because it wasn't you, G. All of the stuff that happened is not your fault. No one blames you," Jason stated.
"Still Jay. I can't believe this happened,"
"Don't worry about it right now Grant. Why don't you get some rest and we can talk about it later," Jason reasoned.
Grant nodded and laid back down. He was feeling a little tired still so he didn't put up much of a fight about it. He was out as soon as his head hit the pillow.
"You should get some rest too Jason. I'll take over watching him," Steve assured.
Jason nodded and went back over to the couch. He too fell asleep fast.
