𝓜𝓲𝓷𝓮 Walker Scobell

006

Violet quietly opened the door to Juliet's room, finding her sister nestled on the bed, spooning cookie dough ice cream straight from the tub while watching Percy Jackson on TV. Concern etched her features as she approached.

"Hey, Jules," Violet said softly, perching on the edge of the bed. "You've been in here for hours. Are you okay?"

Juliet paused the movie and looked up, offering a weak smile. "Yeah, I'm fine, just needed some alone time."

Violet's brow furrowed with worry. "You know, watching him won't help."

Juliet shifted uncomfortably, then retorted, "I'm also in the show too, you know!"

Violet chuckled softly, nudging her sister playfully. "Yeah, as his love interest."

Juliet let out a mock groan and flopped back, resting her head on her sister's shoulder. "Ugh, don't remind me."

Violet wrapped an arm around Juliet, offering silent comfort. After a moment, she stood up, stretching. "Well, I'm going to hang out with Jack and Aidan. You wanna join us?"

Juliet shook her head. "Nah, I think I'll just stay here a bit longer."

"Okay, well, I'll be in the living room if you change your mind," Violet said, giving her sister's shoulder a reassuring squeeze before heading out of the room.

Alone once again, Juliet sighed and resumed her position on the bed, feeling a mix of emotions swirling inside her.

After Violet left, Juliet lay on her bed, her thoughts drifting back to the TV screen where Walker's character, Percy Jackson, fought monsters with ease. She was so lost in her thoughts that she almost didn't hear the soft knock on her door.

"Juliet? Can we come in?" It was Aidan's voice, muffled through the wooden door.

"Yeah, sure," Juliet called back, sitting up as her twin brothers entered the room.

Jack and Aidan exchanged a knowing glance as they approached her bed. "Hey, Jules," Jack said, perching on the edge of the mattress.

"We just wanted to check on you," Aidan added, his expression one of genuine concern.

Juliet offered them a small smile, touched by their gesture. "I'm okay, guys, really. Just needed some time to myself."

Jack nodded, but his eyes held a hint of skepticism. "You sure about that? You've been holed up in here for hours."

Aidan chimed in, "And we heard you and Violet talking about Walker."

Juliet's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "It's nothing, really. Just... I don't know."

"Did something happen?" Jack asked, his tone becoming more serious.

Juliet hesitated, then shook her head. "Not really. Just... watching him on TV, you know? It's silly."

The twins exchanged another look before Aidan spoke up. "Well, if you need anything, just let us know, okay? We're here for you."

Juliet felt a surge of gratitude for her brothers' concern. "Thanks, guys. I appreciate it."

With a final reassuring smile, Jack and Aidan left Juliet to her thoughts once more. As she lay back on her bed, she couldn't shake the feeling of warmth that their presence had brought her.
