The Faults In Us

Uncle Kev Said So

It felt like I had been punched in the gut by the hulk himself. All the air had left my lungs to be replaced with a burning sensation and the only sounds I could hear were Carter's ambulance toys sounding their sirens over and over again as he rammed them into the base of the wall slowing breaking them apart, like my heart. I gripped unto my chest and looked my mother in the eyes. She has to be joking.

"I know! Isn't this so exciting!?" Beamed the nicely dressed tag team member that has joined my mother in ruining my life.

Opening my mouth to speak I was cut short by a bing of an iPhone next to me. Quickly my vision snapped from the tag team monster mother to the angry blue-eyed beauty next to me.

Realistic thoughts had been thrown out the window the moment my eyes set on the demon – I mean, person across the room, and as I reached next to me quickly I pulled angry eyes iPhone into my fingers, siding it open to the calendar.

"Hey!" Tan fingers reach on top of my pale ghost hands in attempt of stealing the fancy machine back but I quickly stood to my foot tipping on my heels but regaining my balance quickly. My eyes scanned the screen as Davin – or was it Gavin? Whoever stood up with his angry eyes matching his cute little angry face. 

What the - Olivia, get your head in the game. He's not cute. He's Satan's brother.

Making a quick mental note to scold myself afterwards I turn to what are suppose to be the mature ones in the room; my mom and Prince Charming who has not said a word yet, thankfully, and his sidekick Cinderella. 

Pulling my best you've got to be kidding me face I said "Its September 12th, not April 1st, so you can stop with the April fools marriage jokes now." Turning my head I glared into the unwanted ones eyes for the first time in 2 years "and you can leave now as well."

The last words left my mouth before I even realized I was thinking them but from the dangerous look my mother was shooting me and the gasp that sounded from Davin behind me, I knew everyone heard my slip up.

"Great! Looks like my wife-to-be is an ex-slut to the king slut, my own brother!" Fake excitement leaked from his words as they replayed over and over in my head. Shaking slightly I turned around to look him square in the eyes as my fingers curled into fists and my angry pushed through my veins. Tipping my eyes upwards I was taken back by the blue eyes only for a second- which was one too many.

"What did you just say?" I growled out. If he was smart he would not repeat himself, but being related to the spawn of the devil cancels out 80% of that chance, and the rest was shoot down when he said "Oh, great, you mean your still his little slut? No wonder he was so excited to see you when we pulled up. Good going guys, I'm marrying my brothers bed buddy."

It was like I had switched places with Zeus and before anyone could notice I shot a lightening speed slap across angry eyes face. The room fell silent as the sound of skin on skin echo throughout while I lowered my shaking open hand back by my side.

"You listen and you listen good Davin," I breathed. "I am in no way, shape, or form your brothers bed buddy. In fact, I have never met him before in my life." I lied. I had too, but no one needs to know that. I said to myself before turning to face my mother and the fairy tale couple again.

"There is no way I will be marrying some pig headed man that I do not know." I stated looking each adult in the eye, leaving my mother for last.

By the time my eyes reached her they became glassy with fear, she eyes shone everything I was feeling on the inside, fear, pain, and heartache. She knew, she knew something I didn't.
