❝Parents visit❞

.•*•.

The sounds of my mother's laughter and my father's voice is heard through the house. I walk out of the room and into the living to see that my parents are sitting there. I'm confused. They are not supposed to be here, but they are. "Good morning" My mother greets as she walks over to me and hugs me. I wince as I don't really like hugging people. "Morning" I say in a low tone. I don't look at them, in fact I look anywhere other than them.

"Sit down, we must have a chat with the two of you" My father says. I look to see that Leo is seated here as well. It's a family meeting, I realize and I don't have to guess what it is about. I know for a fact that it's about Ace and my marriage to him. What I don't know is how my parents feel about all of it, I'm not even sure about anything. I hate that I'm not sure about anything right now. I do what my father said and I sit down beside Leo, but I don't sit that close to him.

I'm still angry at him and I know that I have the right to be angry at him. "Davina, is there anything that you want to add" My mother says. I realize that I had been lost in my mind and I did not pay any attention to what they had been saying. I look at her and she nods. They know how I am and know that I have a very hard time of keeping up with conversations and get too far lost in my mind at times and they understand it. My father gives me a gentle smile.

"We were talking about how your brother has decided that you would get married. That was the wrong thing to do to you and we will make sure that you won't have to do what you don't want to do" He tells me. I nod. I realize that my parents are mad at my brother and I am too. I don't look at Leo, but I know he's trying to take my hand. As if he's trying to apologize to me. I won't allow him. I think about this for some moments and then I clear my throat to catch their attention.

"I don't want to marry him, I would rather want to marry anyone else in the world. But, I know that this means a lot to Leo and I want to be a good sister and do what is best for him. I will marry Ace, but I will have a lot of conditions in order for that to happen" I tell them, or rather announce to them and I know that they are all, even Leo, shocked at these words. Because he thought perhaps that I would have my parents on my side to not have this marriage.

I look at my mother to see that she is shocked. "Oh, darling. You don't have to do this. You don't have to get married. You are in your brother's care but he can't put you to someone else and he can't make you marry someone that you have not chosen yourself" She says to me. I shake my head. "But, I want to marry him" I say. I lie. I don't want to marry him. But, I have a plan that I want to work out and to do that he will have to marry me and I will have to marry him.

All of them are looking at me but I look away. I stand up and pace around the couch that I had been sitting in. "I hate Ace but I think that I want to marry him. Besides, Leo doesn't want me anymore" I say as I glare at Leo. He stands up and looks at me. He walks over to me and takes my hand. "You are my only sister, my twin sister and I love you. I really do. What I said was wrong and if I could take them back, I would. I do want you here with me, I really do" He tells me.

I know that he's only saying those words because our parents are here. Leo has always tried to be on our parents good sides. I'm not sure how that is working now because when I look at them, I see that they are angry at Leo. "Your son has filled my daughter with all sort of nonsense" My father says. I roll my eyes. My mother gasps. "My son? Your daughter? The last time I checked, they are both your children" She says. Then she walks over to Leo and me.

"Davina" She begins. "I know that it will take you some time to understand what marriage is. Marriage is a bond that only those that love each other should enter. And I know that you don't love that wretches man and all he feels for you is... far too inappropriate to say in words" She tells me. My father stands up. "I will beat him senselessly if you go through with this" He tells me as he walks over to me. I look at Leo to see that he's sad and he's not happy about this.

I thought that he would be happy that I had agreed to marry Ace. I don't understand any of what is happening now. "I don't want anyone to beat anyone up for me. I will marry him. You will want to hear my conditions though" I tell both of them and Leo as well. I don't know why he is not happy but I suppose I don't have time to think about that. I'm going to get married soon enough and he will get what he wants. I will be gone and he won't have to worry about me any longer. Perhaps everyone will be happy in the end.
