Try to leave it part 1 | GREGORY HORROR SHOW FANFIC
(The following Takes place before s1 events, basically when joshua was still not tapped in hell. Also, TW: injuries and drug addiction)
It was a heavy night on the gregory house, mostly the rain--it seemed like a rainstorm. But luckily everyone inside it didn't have to worry about getting wet.
And there he was, gregory minding his own buisness at the counter. The room was peaceful and quiet, maybe too quiet...but suddenly that peace and quiet was interruped by three rushed knocks at the door, gregory looked up slightly startled by the sudden knocking.
"Who is it?" -he asked. But whoever was knocking didn't seem to listen so the three rushed knocks appeared again but this time sounding like desperate banging.
Gregory quickly got up and grabbed the keys walking up to the door.
"I'm coming, i'm coming! Please hold on a second!" -the old rat exclaimed, opening the door but when he looked upon the person whom was knocking the door, he was taken a back to find out it was joshua, his youngest son. Joshua looked soaked and one of his eyes was twitching in the way a crack-head would do. He stammered abit but in a way he manage to make up a coherent sentence.
"U-uhm...hey dad, i know it's been very very long since we seen eachother but i was wondering if you would let me stay in for a couple of days?" -he asked, shaking a bit from the cold.
"I.." -gregory paused, still procesing joshua's unexpectex Arrival, he swallowed hard before continuing "s..sure! You can come in".
With that said, joshua came inside can dried himself up and putting a quite large bag in one of the furnitures. meanwhile gregory was watching him, still not wondering why exactly joshua would come here because he knew he and joshua didn't have much of a very close relationship and considering he joined a satanist cult it made it much harder to believe he ever wanted to reedem himself.
But gregory had to admit that yes, joshua was still his son and he had to give him another chance after all. so he nustered up some courage to ask him-
"So joshua, are you still on that satanist cult?"
-joshua, who already finished drying himself looked at gregory and let out a ackward chuckle Before answering
"yeah i did, burned all the books i had too. Wich honestly feels like a huuuge relief! Can't believe i was into those things..."
That answer eased gregory a little, he threw out a sigh of relief.
"Oh good, For a second there i thought you were still into it"
"Of course not! I'm a changed guy, dad" -joshua said chuckling a bit. That moment lasted short because from the bag it began to make baby-like whinning, joshua suddenly got alerted an quickly ran to his bag to sooth whatever was getting fuzzy in it. Gregory was quite taken a back by this but somehow Intrigued so as joshua tried so soothe the bag gregory walked towards him.
"Joshua? What's that on your bag?" -gregory asked.
"O-oh this? Uh, nothing! Nothing really!..."
"Oh really? Then what bag would suddenly make sounds like that?"
Seeing that there was no use in using excuses, joshua sighed defeat and opened the bag putting something in his arms, he then turned around to face gregory and then he offered a better view to what looked like....a baby?
"I'm sorry for not presenting him to you, but this is james. My son and technically your grandson"
-gregory's eyes widen at the sight of james, he knew joshua had a son but he never thought the moment of actually seeing him. He slowly took james out joshua's arms and looked at him. Joshua chuckled ackwardly and remembered to mention something to him.
"Oh! And also, be careful because james can be...a bit too bratty"
Gregory looked up in confusion "bratty?-" But before even finishing the word james yanked gregory's nose almost riping it off. And of course, joshua had to take james back to his arms.
Both gregory and mamma' were discusing about joshua's arrival, mamma' was criticizing every single thing about joshua while gregory was trying to find anything defendable.
"May i remind you gregory, that boy is crack-head and was a satanist!" -mamma growled, clenching her teeth in disgust when mention joshua.
"Please mamma'! Surely yes, he did bad things but trust me he might change if i give the chance!" -Gregory exclaimed, he really had his hopes on joshua despite him being a bad person.
Mamma' scoffed and shook her hand disaprovingly, mocking gregory's hopeless faith on joshua "Oh please, don't be a fool gregory. Who knows when he'll break your trust, he has fallen very deep you know..."
Meanwhile on joshua's room, he was looking at thr ceiling, his arms with old and fresh scars from the LSD injections and wich he already had injected himself already. He deeply loathed himself, he had all the doors open to change his ways but instead he choosed his LSD addiction, he felt his nose bleeding slowly and everything spinning due to the hallucinations. Many questions were on the back of mind, puntuing his skull, why repeat The cycle of addiction? Why bother on asking for help? And along list of ect.
Thankfully, james was asleep but it all seemed voidful for joshua. Suddenly a knock came to his door and he quickly stood up from his bed, took out the injection and wiped out his nose. When he opened it, there was gregory but before he could say something joshua answered him in a fast rabid tone that sounded like someone who had a cocaine problem.
"YEAH YEAH DAD IT'S ALL ALRIGHT THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN YOU CAN GO BACK TO WHATEVER YOU WERE DOING, GOOD FUCKING NIGHT AND SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!" -he slammed The door quickly. Gregory just stood there procesing what happened.
