Chapter 2

Eliza slowly began to wake up, rubbing her eyes as she tries to get up, only to be restrained by an arm around her waist. She turns over to see Maria fast asleep, her loose curls tumbling across her peaceful face. Eliza shivers, having just let out the warmth when she tried to get up, Maria having obviously also noticed the change in temperature because she began to stir.
"What time is it?" She grumbles.
"10 am." Eliza responds, checking her alarm clock.
Maria sits up, the sheets falling off her to reveal a naked body. Eliza quickly looks away blushing, the events of the night before suddenly rushing through her memory. She lifts the sheet up slightly, looking at her own body, and sure enough, she was also naked.
'Elizabeth what the hell you should know better than to fall for someone so quickly' She thinks to herself, shaking her head in dismay.
"I didn't know you'd fallen for me." Maria smirks.
She hadn't realised that she'd said it out loud.
"Whatever I'm probably just a fling anyway." Eliza rolls her eyes, trying to hide any emotions.
"Honey you're not just a fling." Maria murmurs, putting two fingers under Eliza's chin and gently lifting her head up, planting a small kiss on her lips.
"Really?" Her face brightens up.
"Really." Maria responds, smiling "Are you doing anything this weekend?"
"Yeah, I'm going back home, my sisters want to see me." Eliza half smiles.
Maria starts to form a plan in her mind, inwardly grinning "So I'm going to be all alone here?" Her face falls.
"I-I mean you can come if you want- just don't tell my family that we're a thing." Elizabeth murmurs.
"I won't, I don't want anyone to know either, I'm not completely comfortable with my sexuality yet so-"
"I understand."
Maria pulls her back into a kiss, knowing how easy it was going to be to fuck up Eliza's life, especially now that she knew she had a sister.

"John." Alexander murmurs "John wake up!" He whisper-shouts at the boy in the bed beside him who was screaming in his sleep.
"Please don't hurt me da-" He whimpers before realising that it was Alex in front of him. "Sorry" John mutters "Bad dream."
"I could tell, that's why I woke you up, you were screaming, begging for your father not to hurt you, are you okay?" Alexander asks, actually genuinely somewhat worried.
"Y-Yeah." John stutters "But can you- I mean if you wouldn't mind- cuddling me?" he looks away.
"Fine by me." Alex smiles, knowing he needed John to fully trust him.
"T-Thank you." He sighs in relief.
Alexander signals to John to come to his bed, pulling him into a hug once he was under the sheets with Alex, Alex being the big spoon.
"It's okay don't worry, just relax." Alexander murmurs into his ear, gently stroking his hair until he falls asleep in his arms.
Alexander carefully removes one of his arms and grabs his phone, scrolling through his contacts until he finds Tommy💔✔️.
He puts his phone on silent, so that his typing doesn't disturb John, and sends Thomas a message.
Alexander❌: Look Thomas, I know we ended badly but I really miss you. I still love you. I was wondering whether we could meet up for coffee tomorrow, say 11am? At Starbucks. I want to explain everything that happened and why I cheated on you. Please come. I'll be waiting even if you don't answer this text. 💔

"Ready to go?" Eliza smiles, having just finished packing her backpack for the night they were stopping at the Schuyler's estate.
"Yep!" Maria grins "So how far away is your house?"
"Only about 25 minutes by car, give or take a few minutes depending on traffic." She responds.
"Okay well let's go!" Maria says, grabbing her hand bag that was packed with her clothes and makeup.
Eliza takes her hand, leading her to the car that was waiting for them, enjoying the ride as they hold a steady flow of conversation.
"Here we are!" Eli exclaims, getting out of the car.
"Holy shit!" Maria gapes at the huge house in front of her, the front yard was the size of her own house back home.
"Yeahhh." Eliza rubs the back of her head awkwardly before pulling Maria inside to meet her father and sisters.
Two girls entered, shortly followed by an older man, who Maria assumed to be her father.
One of the girls was tall with a slim figure, seemingly older than Eliza, her hair pulled into a tight bun. She was wearing pale pink jeans with a black tshirt with 'Boss ass bitch' written on it in white letters. The other girl was shorter and curvier, very pretty, her hair was half up half down, the hair that was up being pulled into two small buns on either side of her head. She was wearing pale blue loose ripped jeans, a yellow sweatshirt that was tucked into her jeans and a black and white flannel wrapped around her waist.
The man looked like an old man.
"Hi, I'm Maria." She smiles at all three of them.
"I'm Angelica."
"I'm Mr Schuyler, their father."
"And I'm Peggy!" The smaller girl pipes up, grinning.
"Nice to meet you." Maria murmurs.
"Eliza we're going shopping, I need a dress for a date and Peggy is no use, she hates everything I wear" Angelica says, grabbing her sister's arm, but not before Peggy complains, claiming that everything that Angelica wore was gross.
"But what about Maria-" Eliza protests as she gets dragged away.
"She can stay with Peggy."
"Mari is that fine by you?"
"Yeah, I don't mind." Maria turns her head, winking at Peggy, causing the younger girl to blush profusely.
And just like that, Eliza was gone as soon as she came.
"Come on, we don't want to stay down here it's boring, let's go upstairs." Peggy snaps Maria out of her trance.
"Okay!" Maria smiles as Peggy leads her upstairs to her room.
Her room was what one may call aesthetic, on the windowsill there were small fairy lights and cacti, her bed was neatly made, the yellow bedsheets matching up with the wall it was against, the rest of the walls being white. She had a desk which had all kinds of art supplies and sketch books, the pens were colour coded and her sketch books were stacked up in the corner of her desk.
"So- you like yellow?" Maria murmurs, not knowing what to say.
"How'd you guess?" Peggy laughs, sitting down on her bed, patting it, signaling Maria to join her "Do you want to play truth or dare?"
"Sure." Maria smiles.
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Uhhh where are you from?"
"That was really bad."
"I know I'm bad at this okay?"
"I can tell! Anyway uhhh South Carolina. Truth or dare!"
"Truth."
"Sexuality?"
"Gay." Peggy says nervously playing with her hair "Truth or dare?"
"Truth." Maria answers.
"What's your sexuality?" She asks.
Maria moves closer to Peggy and smashes her lips against the other girl's before pulling away slightly "Does that answer your question?"
"I guess it does." Peggy blushes before reengaging the kiss.
