Chapter 97
Adonis lets out a breathy chuckle at my last sentence.
“I like Dick.” He tells me, his eyes widening comically a minute later when he realises how it sounded. “Grayson! Dick Grayson! Dammit, why couldn’t they just call him Richie or something?”
I give him a grin followed by a shrug as I suppress a laugh. “Cause then he’d be Richie Rich.”
“Right, adopted by playboy billionaire. Bruce Wayne.” Adonis bursts out laughing before a thump and yell from above us makes him abruptly stop. We look up at the celling and look back at each other.
“Did we really forget about them?” I ask, my eyes wide.
He nods slowly. “Yup.”
I grab the key off the coffee table and we dash up the stairs, to Octavia’s room.
“You wanted to fuck Lucas!” Flynn’s voice shouts as I shove the key into the lock and twist it.
“You wanted to fuck my sister!” Octavia screeches back just as I throw the door open.
We all freeze and stare at each other as soon as my sister’s statement registers in everyone’s heads.
“You what?” Adonis stares at his best friend with a conflicted expression. He looks like he’s not sure whether to be guilty or betrayed. Flynn stares back at him, not meeting my eye and obviously not knowing what the hell to say.
I stare between Flynn and Octavia before my eyes focus on the latter, clicking my tongue awkwardly. “Please tell me we have another sister I don’t know about.”
-Winnie-
“Fu–I was like twelve years old, I didn’t even know what fucking‘ meant!” Flynn turns around and shouts at Octavia..
“Yeah, well, you still liked her.” Octavia scoffs, crossing her arms as her statement sinks in.
What
“What the fuck is your problem?” Flynn seethes, clenching his fists. Adonis stares at him, not exactly knowing what to do.
“My problem?” Octavia repeats in disbelief. “What the fuck is your proble.”
*Hold on, you liked me?” 1 cut her off, turning to the brown haired boy who wouldn’t meet my eyes.
“T–uh, yeah.” He sighs in defeat before his eyes widen. “B–But it was when I first moved here! Nowhere near recently! So….yeah.”
“You call two years ago ‘nowhere near recently?” Octavia huffs. “Yeah, okay.”
I bite the inside of my cheek before turning to Octavia. “What the fuck is your problem?”
Her eyes widen in disbelief. “Me? Wha-
I see Adonis and Flynn staring at each other awkwardly, seemingly have a conversation through their eyes.

“Why the hell are you out here talking about shit that isn’t any of your business?” I ask her in annoyance. “And you’re being at bitch.”
“He was he was-”
“He was what. Octavia?” I raise an eyebrow at her, crossing my arms.
“He was pissing me off” She exclaims as if it’s a good excuse.
“What could he have possibly done to piss you off?”
“He kept talking about your”
I stare at her for a second before huffing out an unimpressed laugh. “So you were jealous?”
Her eyes widen once again. “yeah. So what?!”
“What makes you think you have the right to get jealous?” I ask her as Adonis and Flynn watch this whole shitshow go down. “Especially when you’ve been running around, trying to fuck other guys.”
“That’s different!”

“Oh?” I raise both my eyebrows before turning to Flynn. “Hey, Flynnigan, guess what? She remembers.”
Octavia gaps and Flynn’s eyebrows furrow in confusion before both his and Adonis‘ faces drop in realisation.
Adonis looks at Flynn sympathetically. “Bro…”
Flynn ignores him, his green eyes set on my sister instead. “Fuck you, Octavia.”
He spins on his heel and storms out.
Adonis glares coldly at Octavia, his violet eyes darkening before he follows Flynn out, no doubt to make sure he’s alright.
Octavia watches them leave, eyes full of regret before she turns to me, regret now replaced with fury. “Why the fuck would you do that?”
We faintly hear the front door open and close followed by dad’s voice. “Hey, what’s wrong with Flynn?”
We ignore him, too caught up in our crap to answer back.
I shrug, giving her a humourless smile. “You were pissing me off.”
Her face twists as she lunges at me. “You bitch!”
We both land on the ground, wrestling each other. Her hand is tangled in my hair and mine is clenching the front of her shirt. I get the upper hand, sitting on her with my fist in the air.
Don’t punch her. Don’t fucking punch her.
“What the bloody hell is going on here?!” Dad screams as he bursts into the room. He grabs me and pulls me off her and Octavia scrambles up off the floor.
“I don’t know what the fuck your problem is, man!” I shout as her as dad stands between us, clearly not knowing what to do. We always fight, but we had never gotten to the point of actually throwing a punch. “You’ve been pissing me off since all your bullshit with Lucas started happening. But I was too busy trying to get you to sort your shit out to say anything!”

“Winnie.” My dad warns but I ignore him.
“And you know what. Tavi?” I glare at her as she glares back.
