Ivy's Point Of View

My goodness, talk about a shocker. Yesterday, I found my brother. I'd been looking for him for so long, but I'd never been able to find him. Needless to say I'm so happy to have him back in my life, I called him last night after he'd made it to his place. He said he doesn't want to cause problems but I reassured him, Bray would be find once he got to know him.

We arranged to meet at a coffee shop today so we can catch up with each other. I talked Bray into it, he wasn't too happy about it at first but I finally got him to agree to take me, after I let him know that I'd just get a ride from someone else, Erick or my brother offered to come pick me up. Bray is still not too happy about the idea of me getting to know Dustin again. He thinks I'm rushing into this, without any proof. But what proof do I need, I know my brother. I'd know if he wasn't who he said he is.

I rolled over, reaching out towards Bray. Bray wrapped his arms around me tightly, pulling me closer to him. "The alarm hasn't even gone off." Bray groaned into my neck.

"I know, but I can't go back to sleep." I said, running my hand up and down his back.

"You are really excited, aren't you?" Bray pulled away from me slightly.

"Yes, I haven't seen him since I was like 12 years old." I sighed. "I've always dreamed I'd find him, and now I have."

Bray sighed, and shook his head.

"What is it?" I raised a brow.

"Nothing." Bray sighed, laying on his back.

I sighed and scooted in close to him. "Bray, I wish you weren't so against this." I sighed and laid my head on his chest.

"I know." Bray sighed. "But it's hard not to be, I just have a feeling about it." He said, running a hand through my hair gently.

"You'll see, once you get to know him. He's not going to do anything to hurt me, or us." I said, looking up at him. "You don't have to be on guard around him." I added.

"I know you say that, but it's just hard. Maybe you're right, once I get to know him I won't feel so on guard around him." Bray sighed.

"I certainly hope so." I sighed, leaning forward to give him a kiss. "I've got to get ready." I said, looking up at the clock.

Bray's Point Of View

I was sitting on the bed, putting on my shoes when I heard the bathroom door open. I looked up and saw Ivy using one crutch to hop her way out. "Can you help?, I need a zip." Ivy said softly, pointing to her back.

I nodded and stood up, making my way over to her and zipping up her dress before wrapping my arms around her from behind. "You look beautiful." I smiled, nuzzling her neck.

"Thank you." Ivy said softly, patting the side of my face, as I gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"So, how long are you thinking, you are going to be at the coffee house?" I raised a brow, as she turned herself around in my arms.

"I don't know, I guess it just depends on how things go, I'll call you when I know about how long it's going to take." Ivy smiled up at me.

I nodded. "Alright, I guess I'll take care of some things in town that way I'm not too far away when you need me." I said.

"Alright." Ivy nodded. "But I don't want you waiting around, and worrying about me."

"It's hard not too, you know I'm gonna try. Besides I like waiting around for you, incase you haven't noticed my world kinda revolves around you." I said, nipping at her neck.

Ivy giggled and put her arms around my neck. "I love you Bray." Ivy smiled up at me.

"And I love you." I smiled, giving her a gentle kiss. "How about we be on our way my love." I smiled.

"Alright." Ivy smiled, taking my hand as I helped her to the door.

I smiled as I sat down in my seat, Bray scooting my chair in. I smiled back at Bray, watching him lean down and give me a kiss. "I love you, I'll call you when we are finished." I smiled up at him, after pulling away from the kiss.

"I love you too." Bray nodded as he backed away, I could tell that he didn't want to leave me in here alone. But I reassured him everything was going to be okay. I just know Bray is protective of me, after everything that has gone on. When I saw Bray head out the door, I turned around to my brother.

"Sorry about him." I smiled slightly. "He's just a bit on the protective side." I added.

"I can tell." Dustin nodded. "But he doesn't have to worry about me, I wish he'd realize that." He adds.

"I've told him, over and over." I sighed. "It's just we've been through a lot. So it just makes it so hard for him to take people at face value. But I'm sure he'll come around." I explained.

"Like what happened to your leg?" Dustin raised a brow. "What happened?, if you don't mind me asking." He added.

"Well, I had an ex his name was Mike. He was a horrible man. He came up with a plan to get me and Bray apart. He used a woman named Summer, she used the fact that Bray always has to come to the rescue of those in need. We thought she was running from an abusive boyfriend and she wasn't. She was actually seeing Mike and he got her to weasel her way into our lives and try to split us up. " I said, shaking my head as flashbacks of everything that happened popped into my mind. "Long story short, it worked in a way and I saw her kiss him and I got upset and I ended up running into Mike, he took me back to his place and I ended up staying there for the night, when I woke up in the morning I over heard him and Summer. I found out it was all apart of his plan and when I tried to leave he hurt me. He kept me with him, eventually when I tried to leave enough times he took a baseball bat to my leg and then hand cuffed me to the bed so I couldn't leave."

"My god." Dustin shook his head. "How'd you get out of there?" He questioned.

"Bray found me, with the help of his friend Luke and they saved me. Mike tried to shoot Bray and Luke got to him first and ended up killing him. So Mike is out of our lives for good. And hopefully Luke will get off, since he was just saving all of us. If it wasn't for him, all of us would of been dead." I went on.

"I'm so sorry." Dustin said softly. "I hate to think of my little sister going through that." He added, and took my hand. "I wish I could of been there to protect you." he said, with a soft smile.

"I know, but you couldn't of known, something's are just out of your hand. But now we have each other and we can get to know each other again." I smiled, squeezing his hand. I was so happy I'd found my brother, I just hope that someday Bray and Dustin could get along. I just got Dustin back in my life, and I want us to become close, like we were when we were younger.
