Born For This (F.S)

0. the night before

Freya P.O.V

I sigh before opening the door because I know hell is going to be waiting for me. I knew better than to hope I could just slip back into the house like nothing. Yet I'm still hoping to be able to get away with it.

Surprisingly no one is in the living room like I expected. My shoulders relax as I let out a breathe and shut the door behind me. I try to walk carefully so that my heels don't make alot of noise but then the lights turn on and I freeze automatically. My heart drops when I see my Dad sitting at the bottom of the stairs but then it starts back up when I realize my Dad would never wear just a tank top and basketball shorts to sleep.

"Fucking hell Archie! Why do you have to be Dad's twin, that's not cool you know." I snap lightly. The sun was starting to come up and I had minutes to get back into my room before everyone woke up.

"Where did you go?" Archie questions with furrowed eyebrows. He looks so much like Mom when he does that. I almost hate him for it but just like her I know it comes from a place of concern.

"Tommy and I went to this new gay club they opened up. It was fun." I answer taking my coat off and sitting down next to my brother putting my head on his shoulder.

"Nice, did Tommy meet anyone?" Archie asks.

"He went home with someone..so let's hope this one is good?" I laugh and Archie joins me.

We see the sun start to come up but I can't bring myself to move right now. Who knows how today will go but right now I'm enjoying this moment with my brother. Once the other two wake up I'm running to my room. If my parents came out I wouldn't stand a chance with getting away with tonight's shenanigans and I wasn't in the mood for a lecture about safety.

"Will you be leaving with Dad and Mom?" Archie questions after a few minutes.

"I plan on it but we'll see if mom actually let's me." I murmur.

"I don't want you to die Freya. Maybe you shouldn't do this, maybe Mom is right and you should just stay."

"Don't start that please. I'm going to be fine Archie, all you need to worry about is yourself. Have you decided what you're going to do?" I change the subject easily.

"I'm going to try having as much as a normal life these next few years. I hope college isn't so lame, I'm excited to party and be a normal 19 year old." Archie's eyes shine and I can't help but smile.

"Be safe Archie. You need to take care of Landon too and vice versa. Don't be reckless or expose yourselves too much. And definitely keep it 'need to know' about our family." I coach him hoping I don't sound so smothering.

"I'm not new at this Freya. Have more faith in me." He grumbled nudging me with his shoulder.

Before we can say anything else the sound of a door opening makes us freeze.

"Shit. Shit. Shit." I mutter taking my heels off before scrambling to my feet.

"Hide in the hallway, I'll distract whoever it is, and when the coast is clear you better hurry." Archie whispers pointing to the hall.

"Thanks Arch. Love you!" I whisper as I go hide. A few moments pass until I finally hear our mother coming down the steps.

I tell myself I owe Archie big time as I make my way up the stairs when the coast was clear. Thankfully I'm able to slip away going unnoticed. I take a shower to wash off last night's grim and then slip off to bed to get at least a few hours of sleep.

Eleanor's P.O.V

"Where is that girl Harry?" I question but I only get a blank look.
