Alexandra

"Damon." We hear a second voice and Ellie frowns. "It sounds like Jeremy." She concludes and opens the door.

Damon is turned around, his back facing us as he's staring at his brother. "Jeremy." His voice sounded so confused. "What are you doing here?"

Jeremy's eyes darted to us and he waved at us. "I wanted to see Ellie, just like you." He replied casually and walked to the doorstep. Once he was standing right beside Damon, he grinned at him.

Damon looked frustrated. "We were going out actually." Ellie said as I didn't have in me to talk right now. I don't know anything about Jeremy either. He could be like Damon.

"Oh that's awesome. I can drive you. where are you guys going?" Jeremy asks as he crosses his arms around his chest, sending a glance at Damon.

Damon grits his teeth and says, "It's okay, I can drive them."

Jeremy was about to argue when Damon continued, "You should go and see dad, he wanted to talk to you. It's important."

Jeremy's jaw clenched and the brothers were staring at each other for a while until Ellie cleared her throat.

"How about you guys go together. Alexandra and I wanted girls time, you know?" She chuckled awkwardly and turned around to close the door.

Once the door was locked, she took my hand and sidestepped both of the brothers, who were silent.

"Alexandra." Jeremy's voice is gentler now. I glanced at him from where I was standing beside Ellie. He looked like he was thinking about something.

"Yes?" I asked. I just want to go away from here. Ellie rubbed my hand in reassurance and that just added to my list of reasons why she's my favorite sibling.

"Take care." I nodded my head at Jeremy's words , not understanding what he meant. He said those words like there was a hidden message in there.

(Before they came to visit Alexandra)

"So, what do you think?" I asked Alana, my girlfriend as we enter my bedroom. My dad found out I have a girlfriend and he forced me to bring her and introduce her to family as I'm his heir. Not that I want to be. I don't even care about his fortune. I just want a peaceful life with Alana.

But because Damon decided he wants to be an actor and because he's the favorite child, my dad forced his responsibilities on me.

I have to be what I don't want to be for the rest of my life. I don't want to live in constant worries but I don't have a choice.

Alana frowned and sat at the corner of my bed. "I don't know what to say, Tyler was sweet I guess."

I raise an eyebrow and she chuckled. "Not sweeter than you though." I peck her lips as she finishes talking and she smiles up at me.

"I think your other brother was flirting with me." She wasn't sure if he was just joking or actually meant it. I didn't know either. I knew Damon loved going out with different girls whenever he had the chance but I didn't think he'd try to steal my girlfriend.

I sighed and sat next to him. "I think being dad's favorite got to him and now he thinks he can get whatever or whoever he wants."

Alana smiled sadly at me and kissed my cheek, "Well, you're my favorite from the family."

I wrapped my arms around her. No matter what happens I know she's going to be with me and try everything in her power to help me, that's why I love her so much.
