"Y—your what?" Ashley asks, completely not expecting that.
Ally nodded, "Yep. he's a whole other story."
"Wait, he sounds familiar." Ashley announced, frowning as she tried to remember where she heard that name from.
On her very first day, the day she saw Eros for the first time, he had come to her saying that their father wanted Donovan to be picked up.
"Yeah, he's the same one." Ally said, her jaw slacking, oddly resembling Eros' greatly.
"When will he ever just...stop trying to sabotage you two. It's been years." Casey grumbled, putting her plate of food back on the table, suddenly losing her appetite.
"What do you mean?" Ashley asked, as lost as ever.
"He's the youngest, right after me. His father used to work as the head cook for our granddad and typically had a thing for our mother. She instead, um, was in love with someone else and kept rejecting him. In the end, Donovan's father raped my mother, and she got pregnant. She was strong though, and refused to abandon the child. Our granddad took Donovan's father to the cops and he's still in prison to date." Ally paused, setting the bowl of popcorn on her arms onto the table in front of them.
"She had the kid, but had to send him off to an orphanage. It's like she knew he wouldn't have a good life if she raised him with us. The orphanage was good though, I'll tell you that. In fact, he was better off than me and Eros." She continued, her green eyes fogging over as if she was replaying everything in her mind.
"Later, our granddad chose his successor; our uncle Mika, and kicked his other two sons out to fend for themselves, though now, they are welcomed to visit and stay whenever they want. Granddad died of old age at 97, just when we started high school here. Donovan has always been bitter about being abandoned, and always blames it on us. He doesn't know how lucky he is, that he isn't involved with this messed up family. He hates Eros the most, but I don't know why or if something happened between them." She finished.
Ashley frowned, taking in all the new information. She really didn't know anything about her circle of friends. She shook her head and wrapped an arm around Ally's shoulders, feeling her stiffen under her hold.
She almost scoffed at how similar these siblings were, and they didn't even know it. Her heart ached for both of them, seeing it in her eyes that they have been through so much.
"Don't you worry, Ally. If he ever tries to start something with you, I'm there." Ashley said, trying her best to cheer her up.
Casey snickered and Ally scoffed, "Yeah right. You couldn't hurt a fly." She joked, playfully shoving her off
Ashley gasped, faking hurt on her face, "I would kill for you bitches."
Casey and Ally erupted into fits of laughter as Ashley smiled and looked back at the TV where they spent the rest of the evening doing.
