Beyond The Sweater//re-write//TRIGGER WARNING

Chapter 4

False, Cleo and Stress just stood there, not knowing what to do or say. They had just witnessed Grian, the happiest, most loving hermit on the server, hurt himself.

They couldn't express their shock. They didn't know if they should confront Grian or tell someone first. Emotions and thoughts were being flung around their heads with worry. Their main question was "why". They thought Grian was happy, worry free. Sure he would overwork himself but he knew when to stop so it couldn't be that.

False was the first to speak up.

"We have got to tell X" she said with certainty yet a shake in her voice.

Cleo suggested that her and Stress went to comfort Grian while False went to get X. They just couldn't bear the thought of leaving this un addressed. Especially when it's Grian they're dealing with.

They all learned one thing in that moment.

You can never truly know someone from what they tell you, only from what you see.

With X and False

False fired as many rockets as she could to get to X. There was no time to lose, every second spent worrying about Grian.

X's base thankfully wasn't far but it felt like an eternity to her.

Once she was hovering over the honey bee kingdom, she screamed for X as loud as she could. At that moment a very panicked void flew up to her.

"What's wong?!" He asked although it seemed to be more of a demand.

"SOBASICALYMECLEOANDSTRESSWEREFLYINGTOSTRESSESBASE-" She was stopped by X putting his finger to her lips.

"Calm down and tell me slowly." He said it in a soothing voice to help calm her down.

"Me Cleo and Stress were flying to Stress's base to help her bake cookies, we decided to take a route over Grian's mansion...we saw him...do..something." Her voice started breaking as the panic died and the severity of the situation hit her.

"What did he do False?" X asked, concern in his voice.

"H-He...he hurt himself..on purpose.."

Xisuma couldn't believe what he had heard, much like the girls.Without another word he was speeding off to the mansion, False closely behind.

With Cleo and Stress

Cleo and Stress ran up to Grian's Hobbit hole door, they saw Grian inside petting Professor Beak with tears streaming down his face. The scene was heartbreaking but neither Cleo or Stress wanted to disturb him, they didn't want him getting angry.

Finally, Cleo got up the courage and knocked on the door.

"O-one sec." The pair heard Grian say, a stutter in his voice.

When he opened the door it was clear that he had been crying and yet he was still smiling.

This broke Stress's heart so badly, before Grian could greet them she had her arms wrapped around him.

He was really confused and didn't really know what to say.

"A-are you okay?" He stuttered out of confusion.

"Can we come inside please?" Stress said, still hugging Grian.

He let them inside and they sat down on the couch, Cleo was extremely silent while Stress was almost in tears.

"So...wha-"

"We saw you Gri." Cleo interrupted.

"Pardon?" Grian was extremely confused as it hit him, surly not.

"W-we saw you hurting yourself."

Grian was about to saw something as the heard a loud banging on the door. Grian got up to find it was False and X, both panicked.

Grian knew he had no way out of this other than running away.

He shoved X out the way and flew as fast as he could as far as he could. He could hear their shouts and screams, he didn't care though. He only wanted to get away to process what had happened. He wanted the help, he really did. He just wasn't ready for it yet.
