Demons & Dynasty

Chapter 19

A brand new day. I opened my eyes to my ceiling, the knots in my stomach easing as I knew I was doing everything I needed to do to ease my conscience. I swung my legs out of bed and strolled over to the bathroom, a small spring in my step. I turned on the shower my DDD busting out some *insert favourite band* (A/N - or just P!ATD... duh). Today I was going to be undisturbed, all doors locked, time for some peace. I washed my hair, shaved from my armpits to my legs, body scrub, face wash, hair mask. Still singing my lungs out I stepped out of the shower, turban in my hair and began applying a face mask. I then began to dance my way into my bedroom sitting down on my bed applying moisturiser. Today was a day for getting my shit together. It's time to be a queen.

I wandered down to breakfast in a small pair of shoes, an orange flowy skirt and a white blouse tied at my waist. My hair was braided and my best attempt at makeup on my face. I sat down at the dining table all 7 pairs of eyes looking up at me. I felt pretty and I quite liked it. As I sat down I looked round the table, and was about to tuck into the classic breakfast of pancakes when I heard a chair scrape along the floor. I looked up from my plate to see Asmodeus stand up and swiftly leave the room. My heart stung knowing that it was my fault, I was guessing he had read the letter. I needed to give him some time, but after breakfast I was going to go and clear the air with him. I quickly finished my pancakes in the awkward silence that engulfed the table before pushing out my chair and leaving quickly for Asmodeus' room.

I stood outside his door, knees weak, legs shaking. I had never been very good at comforting people, especially when I'm the reason they need comforting. I braced myself, ready to knock on the door, when I heard a timid 'come in' from inside Asmodeus' room. I gave the door a slight nudge and stepped in, my eyes immediately falling to the hunched figure on the bed. The room was very dark, curtains drawn, no scented candles lit, no perfume. I made my way over to Asmodeus, my shoulders heavy. I sat down next to him, immediately taking him in my arms. He was shaking and sobbing and all I could do was apologise. Over and over again the words 'I'm sorry' and 'please forgive me' spilled out from my mouth as I sat there holding him.
"I can't change how I feel Asmo... I truly am sorry for using you and for hurting you."

After what seemed like a lifetime his tears subsided and he turned to me, eyes red and face swollen. "Y-Y/N." I ran my thumb along his cheek, wiping up the stray tears."Ssh Asmo you don't have to say anything." I held him tighter and he shook his head. "Y/N, I don't understand. I can't understand why I'm feeling this way. People have dumped me before sure, but it's never bothered me. But with you? It's different, it hurts. And I know it will continue to hurt for a while, but, deep down I know you did the right thing for me. I just can't help but be angry with you, even though when I look at you I hate myself for feeling this way. I hate being angry with you. I know you love me, just not in the way you love Satan and Lucifer." My eyes met his and I could see the hurt in them. I hated this, but I knew once we were out of this ditch all would be better. We held each other tightly before Asmodeus spoke again. "Can you just give me a week? A week to get my feelings straight? Then we'll be okay again." This time it was my turn to nod. If leaving him for a week would save the friendship we had I would gladly do it.
"You do mean so much to me Asmo, know that." I said, before leaving his room once again.

My heart was once again heavy as I wandered back upstairs to my room. My mind wandered and I felt upset, but I knew I couldn't let it get to me. I couldn't. Otherwise I'd just end up wallowing in my own self pity. I made my way across the landing to be greeted with several boxes outside my door. What on earth are those? I thought to myself, drawing ever closer to the boxes. On top I noticed a letter, I picked it up and began to read -

Hey Y/N it's Gemma! I hope everything's all good with you and the brothers! Here are all your dresses and whatnot made to your size, if I were you I'd give one lucky someone a fashion show 😉. I'm super excited and anxious for the 'meet-cute' by the way, it's gonna be my dream and my nightmare all at the same time 🥰. Anyhoozles, I'll see ya soon Y/N, love ya! xx

I folded the letter and placed it in my pocket, leaning over and opening my door and began pushing the boxes in my room. I would give someone a fashion show, and I knew just who that would be, but not just yet. I still need time. For now I pushed the boxes to the corner of my room, I'd look at the contents later. I flopped down on my bed, *insert favourite band* playing once again. I was mentally drained, and I knew exactly who and what I needed. I pulled out my DDD and opened the contact,

The not-brothers

Y/N: Hey guys can you come over to my room?
Y/N: Bring snacks, movies and blankets.
Y/N: I need some anti-brothers time.
