Alexandra Rose

Chapter 3

Third Person's POV

"Wow." was all that came out of her mouth as she took in the beautiful 3 story house in front of her in utter disbelief.

"This is where you guys live?" She turned to Elio and whispered as he looked at her with soft eyes.

"We. This is where we live. Its your house just as much as it is ours." He replied, with a feeble smile on his face.

What he said, warmed Alexandra's heart, causing a soft smile to alight on her lips and her eyes to glow.

"Come on slow pokes, let's go." Evan looked back and said when he saw his brother and sister not moving.

Alexandra's hands started shaking as they walked through the house. Elio quickly noticed so he took her hand in his, "Don't worry princess, he already loves you so much and you haven't even met him yet."

She smiled faintly before taking a deep breath in and entering the living room where she was met with the sight of a single boy on the living room couch, staring at the wall in front of him in deep thought with a controller in hand.

"Ares." Anthony suddenly called out, his loud voice causing Alexandra to jump, that no one but Evan saw.

He looked down at Alexandra apologetically before walking ahead and standing next to Elio.

Alexandra followed and quietly hid behind her two brothers.

The unfamiliar boy let out a curse word while dropping his controller on the floor and quickly standing up, turning to look at the person behind the voice.

"You're here." Ares said as he picked up his controller and looked around for the girl he'd been dying to see.

"W-Where is she?" Ares asked, looking around.

Alexandra held on to Evan's shirt tighter as Ares urged his parents to see her.

"Ares relax, she's right here." Evan finally spoke up, slowly moving away, revealing the small 16 year old girl who hid behind her older brother.

Ares clamped his mouth shut and stared at Alexandra, who in return, awkwardly raised her hand and waved at him, "Hi."

He looked at her eyes to see if it was actually her and once his eyes met hers, Ares closed his and let out a breath before opening them again and slowly walking to her, stoping just inches in front of her.

He couldn't believe the sight in front of his eyes. It felt like a dream to see his twin sister standing right in front of him.

"I-It really is you." he whispered to himself, his eyes slightly watering before he opened his eyes and engulfed her in a soft hug.

"I missed you so much." He whispered from her hair.

She breathed out a sigh of relief before bringing her arms up and wrapping them around his waist.

When Ares didn't let go of his sister, Evan slightly smacked his brothers head, "Stop hogging her you little—"

"Don't swear in front of her!" Anthony cut Evan off with his stern voice and looked at his son with raised eyebrows.

When Alexandra looked at Ares and got a good look at him, her lips formed a small smile.

"You look like me." She stated with a tilt to her head.

"Technically, you look like me since you were born later." Ares mumbled, his eyes still on her while he took in how much she's changed.

Alexandra shrugged before she innocently looked at Ares and said, "It just means god took his sweet time on me."
