The Afterthought
Destiny woke up that morning super early.
She didn't want to wake up late to hear that someone found out about last night or that she was even in Eric's bedroom at all.
So she woke up earlier than Eric and tiptoed down the main staircase.
She made her way back to the couch and laid back down.
Hours later the rest of the family began waking up one by one.
First was Lady Willow.
"Good morning darling. How did you sleep?" She asked Destiny
"I slept really really good thank you" Destiny replied honestly.
"Of course, my child" Lady Willow replied.
As the rest of the family started to wake up and make their way downstairs to the main living area she noticed something off.
Roman was still in his room.
She scanned the entire living area to see that Wyatt was also still in his room along with Eric.
The only ones in the lounge area at this moment in time were Wynter, Elijah, Eleanor, Elena, Selene, Anna, Arielle, and a very unhappy looking Arlo.
Lady Willow stood to make an announcement.
"Well I suppose if they were going to come down, they would've by now. So what does everybody want for breakfast?" She asked.
The crowd of element controllers started talking amongst themselves again, trying to decide what they wanted for their first meal today.
But suddenly a voice made them all go quiet.
"Lady Willow, Before we start breakfast, may I suggest we have a family meeting?" Arlo offered.
"About what do you suppose?" She replied
"Oh yes. I would like to hold a family meeting regarding, Destiny and the very very close friends she's made here" Arlo continued and eyed Destiny from across the room.
"Oh I think that's a wonderful idea Arlo, thank you" Lady Willow replied and clasped her hands together in her lap as she sat down.
Suddenly there was footsteps sounding upstairs.
"Thank you Lady Willow" Arlo spoke again while keeping a deadly eye on Destiny the entire time.
"I'd like to talk about Destiny's very close relationship with Eric" Arlo announced.
Lady Willow turned to look at Destiny.
"Oh yes I do suppose they have gotten very close. Almost like he's a brother to her, which makes her even more a part of this family already." Lady Willow smiled at her and Destiny half smiled back.
Arlo looked sceptic.
"Mm see Lady Willow I wouldn't say they have a brother and sister relationship. I'd say it's something more physical than that." He continued to speak
Destiny stood quickly.
He knew??
How on earth did he know?
How did he even find out?
They're not even on the same floor!
Destiny's anxiety picked up very quickly. She could feel her heart racing in her chest and her body begin to shake slightly. Her mind was racing.
"Arlo stop." Suddenly everyone turned to look at the staircase where Eric was standing.
Destiny looked at him with a longing look.
Arlo was gonna ruin everything.
What if he ruined her entire friendship with Eric?
What if he ruined her friendship with everybody here?
What if Lady Willow decided to kick her out?
Then she'd be stuck in a world she knew almost nothing about.
"Why should I stop Eric? Would you like to enlighten the family of what happened last night?" Arlo asked.
"What happened last night?" Lady Willow looked to Eric questioningly
"Nothing happened" Eric told her.
"Oh I can assure you Your highness something did indeed happen last night. Perhaps since Eric doesn't want to say it maybe Destiny will. Since Eric's too embarrassed." Arlo glared better Destiny and Eric.
"I'm not embarrassed Arlo. I knew exactly what I was doing and I don't regret it" Eric told him honestly.
Destiny's heart rate picked up fast. He wasn't embarrassed about it? And he didn't regret it? Destiny couldn't help but blush, but It quickly went away when Lady Willow spoke again.
"What don't you regret Eric?" This time she stood up as she asked the question.
"Well Lady Willow, last night I caught Destiny sneaking into Eric's room." The room went silent.
"And not to sleep I promise you that. Destiny and Eric fucked last night" Arlo announced.
Suddenly there was another voice on the staircase.
Everyone looked up to where the voice had came from.
Destiny's heart broke.
She looked up to the staircase to see Roman.
"You really fucked her Eric?" He asked sounding completely heartbroken.
Destiny ran to the staircase and up the stairs to Roman.
"No no no Roman it wasn't like that I promise. We didn't fuck. I'm a virgin." She told him, you could tell by her face that she was panicking and on the verge of tears.
"Then why is Arlo saying that you two fucked last night?" Roman looked between the both of them with a heartbreaking look in his eyes.
Eric answered him quickly.
"Because Arlos a dick and doesn't know what he's talking about."
Destiny nodded her head in agreement.
Roman looked down at his feet then back up and looked behind Eric and Destiny to look at Arlo.
"Arlo how do you know they fucked?" He asked him.
"I heard her moaning his name through the wall when I followed her up there." Arlo responded.
Roman looked back down at Destiny
"People don't moan in their sleep Des" He told her in a monotone voice but there was a slight sadness in it as well that he wasn't trying to show.
"Roman please." She begged him but he turned around and walked back up the stairs to his room.
Destiny has never felt so heartbroken in her entire life.
She cared about Roman. Since she's been here it seems like she's the only one who's truly stood up for him.
But he wouldn't believe that now.
Not after everything that just happened.
She felt as if her life was completely ruined.
And it was all thanks to Arlo.
