PHOENIX'S POV
I wonder if Tristan will leave me. He's always so laid back and joking around, what if he thinks I'm joking. Tristan can't handle something like a child, not yet. What if I just get an abortion and he never has to know about this. Wait, what am I saying? I can't do that to a baby. Best I can do for right now is enjoy my last night with him. I'll tell him after the ball and he will leave me. I reach for my cup and Tristan grabs my hand instead. He stands and pulls me to the dance floor. We start dancing and it's wonderful to be honest.
"What's wrong? You seem ill. Do you want to go home?" He asked me. I shook my head no and we continued dancing.
OCTAVIA'S POV
After Tristan and Phoenix left the table Salliea spoke up.
"She's not going to tell him, is she?" She asked.
"Poor Phoenix, I feel bad for her right now. It sucks because Tristan is too much of a meme to have a child", I added.
"I just hope when she does tell him he accepts it." Stella said. The boys get up and go to the wash room.
"I'm going to get another drink", Stella stood up.
"I'll come too." I said and grabbed my cup. I followed Stella to the Punch bowl and we refilled our cups.
"Can you believe it?! I'm here with Shawnnnnn!!!" I said excitingly, dragging out his name.
"I know right!! And the hot guy, Ethan, uggggggghh I can't believe he likes me." Stella replied.
"They said life gets rough after high school, how's this rough?"
"I know, life is fun and easy."
"I'm glad we all live in one gigantic house! Like I never saw that one coming."
"I know thanks to Salliea and Ronni, they called us when they saw the for sale sign. I'm so lucky we all got it. The house is so pretty"
"Not as pretty as you", Ethan said cutting in.
"Oh hi Ethan, where's Shawn?" I asked
"Over there looking for you", he said and pointed to the left. I blushed and went looking for him.
"Found you!" A voice said and grabbed my hand.
I turned and saw Shawn. I blushed, he's adorable.
"Did I tell you how pretty you look?" He continued, "wait not that you don't always look pretty but you look even prettier tonight because you're dressed up and.. I'll just stop talking now"
"thank you Shawn." I said in between laughs.
STELLA'S POV
Ethan sat my drink down and danced with me again. He stopped dancing and leaned down. I stood on my tippy toes and we kissed. Are there fireworks every time you kiss someone or is that just me?
"Come on I have to show you something." Ethan said then took my hand and led the way.
RONNI'S POV
"It's so beautiful! This view I could look at everyday, Calvin, it's wonderful!" I exclaimed.
"Come on, there's still so much more", Calvin said and I followed him. He walked into a room that had a huge TV, a couch, gaming systems, a desk and everything.
"This is my room, well was until I moved out. Turn the corner you'll see my bed." Calvin said.
I looked to the right and saw a huge bed with closets and dressers. And I thought my house was big. I look around in amazement.
"Have you never seen a big house?" He asked me
"No, no, just its so fancy and extravagant compared to any others I have seen." I told him.
"Well thank you", he sat on the couch, "wanna play a game?" He held up a PS4 controller. I nodded and walked over to the couch. The dress made it hard to sit down, but I was able to. We played Street Fighters and he beat me most of the time.
"Why did you move out?" I asked
"I mean, you don't want to live with your parents forever do you?"
"Yes, but in this house?! Who would move out?"
"My brothers and me I guess."
"Brothers?"
"Yeah I have two brothers, Ethan and Victor. Victor is the most successful out of us all, the favorited one. He gets anything and everything he wants. Ethan, last I heard was he is trying to fit in with everyone else. I don't see why though, we already do fit in, with each other that is"
"Ethan? What's his last name?"
"My last name", Calvin chuckled.
"Which is..."
"Carrington."
"Ohhh, alright. We should get back to the party there might be people missing us." I said and stood up.
"Okay hold on." Calvin put the controllers on the chargers and turned everything off. We walked down the hall and before we were about to go downstairs to everyone Calvin stopped.
"Aaaand Ethan should come rightttt now." Calvin said as Ethan and Stella turned the corner. WAIT. THAT ETHAN IS CALVIN'S BROTHER, BUT I THOUGHT ETHAN WAS JUST A WAITER. WHAAAT????
STELLA'S POV
Ethan guided me upstairs while still holding onto my hand.
"E-ethan! Are we allowed up here?!" I asked
"With me you can." He said. Ethan led me up yet another flight of stairs and down a hallway.
"Who's room is this?" I asked when we reached a door.
"Do you want to be serious with me?" He asked me sternly.
"Yes." I was confused. Why ask such an absurd question? Ethan opened the door and walked inside, I followed him. He sat on the bed. The walls were painted blue and outlined in gray. The theme of the room was blue and gray. There was a huge bed, at which Ethan was sitting on the blue comforter. The room had a beautiful chandelier that wasn't too big, but still would make you stare in awe. The blue and gray curtains opened showing the outside moon. There was a glass door showing to a balcony, which had blue ribbons on them. I don't get it. What are we doing here?
"Why are we here?" I asked Ethan.
"My name is Ethan Carrington, son of Logan Carrington and Elizabeth Carrington. I'm sure you've heard of them." He said.
"Oh", I said calmly, leaning against the blue couch he had, "WAIT WHAT?! THEN WHY WERE YOU WAITING TABLES?! OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN!!! YOURE LIKE ROYALTY, AND I FELL IN FRONT OF YOU REPEATEDLY!!!!" Ethan started chuckling.
"H-HEY, don't laugh at me." I pouted.
"Haha, you're so cute even when you're pouting." He patted my head and I shook him off, "come here." We walked out to the balcony and he showed me the backyard.
"Holy shit, is that a lake in your backyard?!" I exclaimed. He chuckled and nodded.
"I have a favor to ask you", Ethan said, "so, I have two other brothers, Calvin, and Victor. Each year Victor, since he is the favorite and gets everything he wants, walks down the stairs when its time for us to show up, with the most beautiful girls. This year, like last year I hope I can beat him, which in luck I am pretty sure I can still away the attention of the crowd with you. Its simple really, all we do is walk down stairs. I doubt Calvin is actually going to have a girl so I will be closer to mother and fathers second favorite. They'll be excited that I met someone."
"Wha??? You want me to meet your parents?!!!!!" I was nervous. We just started dating.
"Yes. They're calmer and kinder than you think. If you don't want to you don't have to. Like if all you want to do is walk down the stair case with me and then disappear in the crowd, you can, just as long as you come back to me when the ball is over."
"I'll do it, but do you think they'll like me?"
"No. They'll love you", he said with a smile, "now come on or Calvin will beat me there just like last time haha." Ethan grabbed my hand and walked to the main hallway. I see Ronni at the top of the stairs with a man.
"R-ronni?" I said, "what are doing up here?"
"It seems are guys are related." She said with a smile.
"Wait, you're dating someone new already? Don't you think its a little early for that?"
"No. He's not my boyfriend. He's just a guy I'm walking around with. He's rich or something and the brother to your boyfriend." She told me things I already knew.
"I know already dipshit", I said.
"Now I'll take my leave, thanks for the tour, Calvin." Ronni said then turned to go down the staircase.
"Ronni, no", Calvin said quietly as he grabbed her arm, "do not leave yet."
"Seems as if no ones attention is up here yet. Have father and mother even arrived yet?" Ethan told Calvin.
"No, they're late like usual." Calvin replied.
"I'm going to guess victor is with them too? Or is he trying to find a beauty last minute?" Ethan said
"Wait, can someone tell me why I'm not allowed to use this staircase and why 'no ones attention is up here yet'? Cause I'm confused." Ronni said taking a seat on a bench that was under the family portrait.
"Apparently they all like to feed off of their parents attention and love that they walk down this stupid staircase each year for this ball to make an unique entrance, but apparently both Ethan and Calvin never care to bring chicks until this year and they need us so they can strike out their brother. They all will have someone accompanying them so wouldn't the score be equal?" I explained as I took a seat next to Ronni.
"Yes, perhaps you are correct." Calvin said.
"Then the score will be settled on the dance floor. Lovely Stella, will do just fine." Ethan said, confidently.
"Ronni, will you dance with me?" Calvin asked Ronni.
"Why do you guys care so much? What do you guys get out of this? The only thing you'll be getting is attention? I think there's more to it. This is lame, I'm out of here." Ronni stood up and started to walk away.
"Well, this is definitely new." A man said, standing in front of Ronni and towering her. Behind him was a lady dressed in a silver dress.
"Victor, please step away from Ronni, for you are too ugly and she might get brain damage if she has to not only look at you but be so close." Calvin said. So that's Victor? How is he the favorite? He looks so terrifying. He's tall, skinny and his hair covers most of his face. His hands are still in his pockets even after he stepped away from Ronni and closer to Ethan, Calvin, and me. He wears a silver tie, everything else is straight black. I don't understand. If anything Ethan should be the favorite.
"Actually Ronni it is a big deal and yes it is all for the attention because have you ever been at a family dinner and all your parents talk about is your other brothers success?" Calvin said.
"Yeah, but walking down a fucking staircase won't change the amount of success you have what the fuck?" She said as she leaned against the wall.
"Yeah but we like the attention so if you just walk down the stupid staircase with me you will be helping a lot." Calvin said.
"You guys are actually retarded, why is it such a big deal? I'll do it, but only because Stella is doing it." Ronni said stubbornly.
"Walking down the staircase won't change how mom and dad feel against you or me. I'm the favorite and they always talk about MY success when we all get together. Be jealous", victor said.
"You guys are so childish." I stood up and said.
"I agree, stop talking or I might develop a brain tumor." Ronni added and touched her head dramatically.
"..and yes of course, my wonderful sons are here as well." We heard a voice from downstairs say.
"How are they all doing?" Someone else said.
"Well Calvin moved out finally and continued with his studies. He hasn't decided on a college yet", we look down and it was their mom taking an interview, "Ethan, he is working and trying to settle down in his own little world, but enough talk about them! Have you seen how successful my little Victor has become? Its so wonderful! I am so proud of him, he runs his own company and even donates to the poor. Last week he volunteered at the animal shelter and he fed homeless people. Victor, is my blessing."
"Okay guys get ready." Ethan said and took my arm in his, "We go first." He winked.
"Speaking of my sons, here they are now." Logan Carrington said and waved his hand over towards us on the staircase. Ohgod I'm about to throw up.
CHRISTAN'S POV
We watch and listen to the Carrington's get an interview and stuff.
"Where's Ronni, Stella, and Ethan?" Octavia asked. No one knew.
"Speaking if my sons, here they are now." Mr.Carrington announced. Everyone's eyes shifted to the top of the staircase.
"ST-STELLA?" Phoenix said shocked.
"Wait, you guys didn't know Ethan was a Carrington?" I asked.
"Uh uh", Salliea said.
Ethan and Stella walked down the stairs arm in arm, followed by Ronni and Calvin.
"Wait, why is Ronni up there too?" Gigi asked.
"Who knows?" I said, "She most know Calvin or something." Victor and some Latino followed them. Victor didn't have a smile on his face unlike the others. I read one time in a magazine that he hates things like this.
"Christan how do you know so much?" Gigi asked.
"Remember that one time we went to Maine?" I asked her, "Well Victor, the last one, was there and that's the person I met. He was at a gym donating money or something. I was curious and I looked him up. See, I'm smart."
