FAMILY SECRETS

Evelyn
I couldn't help but smirk as I entered the limo. All my brothers were there along with Yui. Once I closed the door and sat down, the limo began to move.

"I want to see all of you in my room later tonight," I demanded as I plugged in my earphones, this leaving no room for arguments.

Reiji and Subaru looked suspicious while Shu, Ayato and Kanato blushed lightly.

I looked towards Yui and saw her face light up with realisation once she took a look at two out of three of the triplets and Shu. She then looked to me and I smiled at her which gave her an answer to her doubts.

Of course I could see a bit of hurt in her eyes when she saw Ayato blushing.

- Time skip brought to you by Subaru's car -

Once the snacks were in order and my bedroom was neat, I went to have a shower.

Water dripped down my body as I stood in the glass panelled shower. My short, white hair stuck to my body as the water rained on it.

As I showered my eyes accidentally drifted to the faint scars on my arms, legs and stomach. They bring back so many memories from them.

'Please stop!'

'I'm sorry!!!'

'Please mother!!!!!'

My fists clenched tightly as my voice rang through my head. Due to how caught up I was in my thoughts I failed to notice my nails piercing my skin until it was too late.

Blood gathered in my palms and dropped on to the floor, only to be washed away by the close to scalding hot water.

I opened my palms and stared at them. Within a few seconds they healed and I sighed. After what happened I finished bathing then I put on my berry scented lotion.

Afterwards I put on my snow white hoodie, pyjama shorts and thigh high socks. I quickly scanned the bathroom to make sure that I didn't make a mess then I exited it.

Yui was already in the room wearing her usual pale pink knee high night dress. Her hair was slightly damp, which I could tell by the small droplets in her hair.

"Hey Evelyn," said Yui. "Hi Yui," I replied. I could tell that she was fighting back tears. I slowly approached her and hugged hair.

"Let it all out," I whispered. Then she started crying. Small sobs racked her body while I rubbed small circles on her back in a soothing manner.

"He's in love with someone else," she whimpered while continuing to cry. "Where's my friend?" I asked (more like demanded) in a harsh manner.

Yui looked surprised by my change in demeanor and asked what I meant.

"Where is the Yui Komori that I know. The one who has been bitten countless times and has never cried. The one who has touched the doors of death before and yet she didn't cry. The Yui who always had a smile on her face no matter what happened?" I asked.

She seemed taken aback but then tears pooled in her eyes once more. "She broke once she saw the love of her life fall for someone else," she whispered as her bangs shadowed her eyes.

"Yui, I know that you love Ayato but at times fate has different plans for all of us. Ayato may not have been your destined one but I'm sure you'll meet him one day," I said softly.

Yui stopped crying but I could still hear her whimpering. "Did you know that I used to have someone that I was in love with?" I asked.

She seemed shocked by this. "W-what do y-you m-m-mean?" she stuttered out. I gave her a rueful smile.

"It was...
