TW- roofie, tainted drink I'll mark the section when it starts
Cleo's pov
"Eben, is that you? Omg hi," I ran to hug him.
"Hey Cleopatra, how's it hanging? You look good." his eyes scanned my body and he bit his lip.
"Thank you, and I'm not going to sleep with you dude. You're like a brother to me."
"Let me be your stepbrother."
I threw a pillow at him and laughed. I met Eben shortly after I met the boys and he was also like family. He couldn't be at Sierra's funeral but he was there for me always.
I told him about my breakdown in the car, Tayler, my smoking adventures, and everything in between.
"Wow, Daniel in a fight? You'd never imagine, but I'm so sorry all this has happened. I guess you do need me around to protect you huh?"
"Yeah, maybe I do because the boys aren't talking to me."
"Give em' a few days, you need to clear your head and I know just how to help. Go get dressed up and put on your dancing shoes."
He kissed my forehead and shooed me upstairs.
I got changed not having a single idea what to expect.

Daniel had bought me this dress, it didn't feel right wearing it but all my nice clothing were at school.
I heard music blasting from downstairs and when I got there I saw lights and Eben holding 2 cups dancing by himself.
"What is this?" I asked laughing at his dumb dance moves.
"We're having a pity party, duh." he gives me my cup and starts throwing it back on me.
I push him away and he continues to twerk on me. I go with it and get behind him. I haven't had fun like this in forever.
We kept drinking and dancing, we stopped once the boys got home.
"Hello lads, care to join the lady and me?" Eben was drunk.
"Sorry about him, we were just cleaning up," I went to stop the music and Eben went to lie down on the couch.
"Cleo, can we talk?" Daniel asks.
I kept cleaning when he picked me up and took me outside.
"Listen, I'm sorry ok. I just couldn't let you be alone, and why are you still talking to the asshat?"
"Because I still care about that asshat, and I'm sorry too. What I said was mean, really mean but I was so mad. Mad that I let him hurt me, mad that Sierra isn't here to make me feel better."
"But we are and you know everything we do it in your best interest, Cleo."
