Ok so yet again I'm starting another story but have every intention of finishing the other two that I have on the go at the moment. This idea popped in my head and I just had to start writing it so I'm hoping I can multi task with my stories and do them all justice. Anyway you know the drill with reviews just keep them coming.
CHAPTER 1
"ASHLEY....ASHLEY"The voice vibrated around the studio apartment to no reply. The smal dark haired girl that was making the noise was looking around huffing and puffing as she continued to get ignored. She finally entered the bedroom that was usually occupied by her older sister but on this occassion like many other she wasn't alone. A younger looking blonde girl jumped up from the giant bed as she spotted the angry looking brunette enter the room.
"Jesus Kyla....if I don't reply it means I'm busy" Ashley yelled as she watched the blonde girl scurry around her bedroom grabbing her clothes then her eyes dropped to her clearly annoyed younger sister.
"I don't care if you're busy doing something or someone we had plans today" Kyla shouted back passing the girl a stray shoe that she assumed belonged to her.
"Thanks" The girl mumbled trying to hide her embarrasement and her nearly nude body. Kyla had no longer felt any shame or embarrasement during these meetings as she was more than used to them but normally Ashley wasn't still here. In fact Kyla could no longer count the amount of times that she had found a random girl sat in Ashley's bedroom confused and upset that the kind girl that tricked them in to bed had vanished by the time the sun had risen.
"See you later Kerry?"Ashley said obvisouly clueless to the girls identity.
"It's Lisa" The girl snapped storming out much to Ashley's amusement.
"You could at least remember their names Ash...maybe write them down or something"
"I stopped writing their names down in my book when I hit 18 Ky....it was a waste of paper" Ashley laughed lighting a cigarette.
"You're an ass"
"I love you too little sister"
"Get dressed"
"Why?"
"Because we need to go for lunch with the family" Kyla replied as if were the most obvious answer in the world but she knew when she told Ashley about the lunch 3 weeks ago that she wouldn't remember which is exactly why she had driven to LA to get her.
"I'm not in the mood Ky"
"Stop being such a brat Jackson wants us all to meet his fiance"
"Jackson hates me Kyla so I doubt he actually wants me there"
"You're his good damn twin sister Ash of course he wants you there"
Ashley didn't reply she just gave Kyla a look that indicated that she knew Kyla was lying and that they both knew just how much Jackson hated her.
"Ok point taken but Dad is going to be there and he wants to see us all"
"Awww how nice Daddy's decided to play happy families....did he have a stroke or something?" Ashley asked bitterly.
"Why are you such a bitch?Just get dressed Ashley and get your ass in the kitchen in 20 minutes"
"What if I don't?"
"Then I'll sing every Celine Dion song every released" Kyla challenged with a raised eyebrow knowing that her sister was the only Davies that had inherited any talent from their father.
"You wouldn't?"
"ALL BBBYYYYY MYYYYSELLLFFFF" Kyla yelled at the top of her lungs which soon moved Ashley from her bed. The older girl muttered obsenities as she walked into the bathroom knowing that she had already lost this battle.
20 minutes later Ashley stalked into the kitchen looking a lot better than she had done earlier wearing her favourite David Bowie t-shirt and skinny jeans perfectly matched with pink converse which was the complete opposite to Kyla's stepfir wives cardigan and pencil skirt.
"Well at least you don't smell like skank any more"Kyla sniped throwing a bottle of water to her sister.
"You say the sweetest things Kyla" Ashley smiled as she kissed her sister on the head.
"You bring out the nice in me"
"Well what are we waiting for let's go meet the idiot that agreed to marry Jackson"
Ashley chose to drive them to their family home which was in the Hollywood hills as she loved the way her Porsche felt as she pushed up the speed and took the corners sharply. She mostly enjoyed the way that Kyla hung off the door in pure fear, it was a tiny bit of revenge for interrupting her morning with whats her name. Pulling up to the security gates Ashley stopped the car by the voicebox even though she knew the pass code for the gates.
"Hello"
"Hi my names Barbie I'm here to see Ken" Ashley said loudly causing Kyla to roll her eyes at her sister's games.
"Sorry Madam but there is nobody named Ken here"
"Are you sure?he's tall and dreamy....slightly plastic looking but a cute smile" Ashley continued with her bit.
"Once again Mam there is nobody here called Ken"
"Well if he comes home can you tell him that I'm pregnant and it's his....in fact I'll just wait here until he comes home"
"This is private property Madam so I'm afraid you can't wait here"
"Jesus Ash just give it up....it's not even funny anymore"
"No way this is great"Ashley whispered back. Suddenly the small screen next to the voicebox turned on showing a more than annoyed looking older woman with similar eyes to Ashley and Kyla's.
"Ashley why do you insist in torturing the staff?"The woman barked.
"Sorry Christine but I couldn't resist"
"Hi Mom" Kyla said pushing Ashley out of the way.
"Hey Honey....Ashley the gates are opening please park in the garage"
"Yes Miss Davies" Ashley said with a salute as she drive through the giant gates. Their childhood home was huge and overly tacky Ashley thought to herself. The giant white house was very much in your face and very Hollywood.
Deliberatly not parking in the garage Ashley just pulled up right by the front door knowing that this would really piss her Mother off. Ashley laughed as she her brother's crappy second hand car that he insisted on driving just like he insisted on paying his own way through his Ivy league College. The fact that Jackson was paying his own way through College wasn't what made Ashley laugh it was just the fact that he had no idea that Mommy and Daddy were actually paying for everything. They had arranged with the Dean of Yale that any monies paid by Jackson would be put back into his trust fund that out parents had for all 3 of us. He had no clue and thought he was doing everything on his own terms which just didn't happen in the Davies' clan.
Kyla gave Ashley a knowing smile as she spotted the car in the drive way aswell. As they entered the mansion their Father was the first person to greet them with a whiskey in his hand and a smile on his face.
"My two favourite girls" Raife Davies shouted proudly as he opened his arms for a hug to which Ashley and Kyla obeyed. Ashley smiled at her Father noting how he didn't macth the classically decorated house. His white messy hair and tight leather trousers made him look like an 80's reject but he pulled off with all the swagger he could muster at the age of 45.
"Hey Dad...it's good to see you"Kyla said with a smile.
"You too Honey.....Sorry I missed your Birthday Kyla"
"I'll have another one next year" Kyla replied glumly as she remembered the dissapointment from the other week.
"Hey I didn't forget completely....I got you a gift" Raife added hoping to put the smile back on his youngest daughter's face which worked.
"It better be good"
"Well it has four wheels and it's got a giant pink bow on it" Raife explained holding up some keys and this time it was Ashley's turn to roll her eyes. She knew for a fact that if Raife Davies forgot an occassion he would buy you a car no matter how small the occassion actually was. Ashley had been given 4 cars in the last yeat 3 year which were 'I'm sorry I suck' presents for missing her first gig, her birthday, another birthday and her first sold out concert at the house of blues.
Kyla ran of to find her guilt car in the garage which was full of guilt cars that still hadn't been used. Ashley smiled kindly at her Father and headed towards the dining room where everybody else would be. As she walked in she saw her Mother her gave her a cold smile, her Brother who gave her a death glare and then a blonde girl that smiled at her so warmly that she had to look away.
"Hey Ash" Jackson mumbled standing up and hugging his twin sister. He looked very similar to his sister's but his eyes were blue just like his Father's where as Ashley and Kyla both had chocolate brown eyes just like their Mother which was the only similarity Ashley shared with that woman.
"Hey little Brother" Ashley replied putting on her best fake smile as she eyed Jackson's cream linen trousers and blue polo shirt. She couldn't help but compare him to some creepy model from a jay crew catelogue and thought made her shiver as she thought about the boy she grew up with.
"This is Spencer...My Fiance" Jackson annouced proudly taking the blonde haired girls' hand and pulling her closer. Ashley looked the girl up and down taking everything in including her incredible blue eyes and perfect smile but then she saw that she was wearing nearly the same outfit as Jackson which made Ashley cringe a little.
"Hey Spencer nice to meet you" Ashley finally said as she noticed the awkward silence in the room.
"Nice to meet you too" Spencer replied politely which just annoyed Ashley. She hated how this girl already seemed to be in training to be Jackson's perfect stepford wife.
"Congratulations and all that Jazz....I need a drink" Ashley tried her best to be polite but probably came across as a complete bitch but she was used to that and didn't care. She exited the icey room and headed to her childhood room that was still the same as it was the day she left. The old band posters looked slightly faded but all the marks on the carpets and bumps in the wall were all the same and this comforted her somehow. She grabbed the bottle of Jack that she kept hidden in the wall behind her Ramones poster for emergencies and poured herself some into her favourite novelty Misfit's glass. Making her way to her balcony to have a smoke she smiled as she saw Kyla looking at her new mini convertable and she looked happy which made Ashley happy.
"Hey rock star why you hiding up here?" Jackson asked as he stood in the door way slightly unsure as to whether he should enter.
"I thought that I'd get out the way so I didn't embarrass you or anything" Ashley replied not turning around.
"Don't worry I've already warned Spencer about you" Jackson said as he grabbed a glass passing it to Ashley to fill.
"Great...so does she think I'm going to kiss her too?" Ashley asked angrily remembering the reason why her and her brother have hardly any contact anymore.
"How can you get mad at me about that?"Jackson replied changing his calm approach.
"Because I didn't fucking do anything that's why"
"You're still sticking to that arguement?"
"Yes because I'm telling the truth Jackass"
"Look it's in the past anyway...let's just forget about it. I didn't tell Spencer anything about that or much about you really"
"Jackson how do you expect me to forget about the fact that you believed some coked up slut over me?" Ashley snapped lighting another smoke much to her Brother's annoyance.
"Why would Madison have lied about you kissing her?"
"Because she was a fucking bitch"
"She was a bitch" Jackson agreed getting a smile from Ashley for the first time in years. "Look Ash....I miss my sister and meeting Spencer has made me realise that I can move on from the past and if you say that nothing happened with Madison then I believe you"
"You mean that?" Ashley asked hopefully. She missed her Brother too and had tried to make it up with him 3 years ago when it happened but he went off to College and just ignored her. Ashley had given up becasue Jackson stopped being Jackson and had stopped being the Davie's twins who were once so similar but were now polar opposites.
"Come here Asshat"Jackson demanded pulling his sister into his huge frame and giving her a hug. Jackson kissed his sister on the head and left the room leaving her to process what had just happened. Ashley put out her cigarette and headed down to the garden where her Dad was firing uo the grill.
"Raife you might want to plug in the gas" Ashley giggled as she watched her Dad banging the contraption in frustration.
"Good call Ash" Raife smiled as the grill successfully lit up much to her Father's delight. Ashley spotted a familiar face stood by the side of the pool talking to her Brother and she had been waiting at least a year to get revenge for the sprinkler incident in her apartment last summer. So Ashley took a huge run up and dived at the tall dark haired boy that was chatting mindlessly to Jackson. She used all her strength but managed to get him into the pool with a huge splash. Once she finally surfaced Ashley was met with a torrent of abuse.
"Jesus Ashley normal people just say Hello" The boy said flipping his around like a cheerleader.
"Don't be such a girl Aiden...anyway it was totally revenge for the sprinkler's in my room"
"Ok you totally deserved that Davies.....you turned off the hot water while I was having a shower" Aiden replied climbing out of the pool helping Ashley out aswell.
"I needed to pee"
"Jesus Ash what have you done to my boyfriend???!!" Kyla squealed from the otherside of the garden.
"All is fair in love and war Ky...sorry" Ashley smirked as stripped out of clothes revealing her red polka dot bikini. As she pulled off her shirt she spotted Spencer walking out of the house with a tray and for a split second Ashley was pretty sure she was staring but Ashley quickly shook that thought from her head considering her previous conversation with her brother only a few minutes ago. Throwing her wet clothes on the ench to dry in the hot california sun she grabbed herself a beer and took a seat on the sun chair. She spotted Spencer sat shyly not talking to anybody so she decided to play nice and call her over.
"Hey Spencer how you doing?"
"I'm fine thanks" Spencer replied quickly as she turned to face Ashley who signalled for her to sit on the chari next to her.
"So what do you think of the Davie's family?"
"I'm a little shocked" Spencer confessed.
"Why?we're not that bad are we?"
"No...It's just that Jack didn't tell me that his family was rich" Spencer explained.
"Yea Jackson doesn't really like to admit to being apart of this...does it bother you?"
"No not at all but a heads up would've been nice especially considering I have a poster of your Dad's band on my wall at home" Spencer admitted giggling which caught Ashley's attention.
"Lucky him....so how did you guys meet?" Ashley quickly changed the subject staying on safe ground.
"At Yale....I was drunk at some party and he intervened when some guy got a little handsie" Spencer explained with a huge smile on her face.
"How romantic... I'm sure Heathcliff and Kathy would be jealous" Ashley joked getting an adorable pout from Spencer.
"It worked for me...how did you meet your boyfriend?" Spencer asked looking over at Aiden which made Ashley burst out laughing almost falling out of her seat.
"Aiden isn't my boyfriend....he's my best friend. He's actually dating Kyla and he's really not my type"
"Well that could've been embarrasing. Ok so do you have a boyfriend?" Spencer laughed.
"Erm what exactly has Jackson told you about me?" Ashley asked almost offended that Jackson had clearly never really mentioned her.
"Nothing really....he only really talked about his family a few weeks ago after he proposed"
"Ok do you want me to fill you on Davie's 101?" Ashley asked sitting up and facing Spencer who was now in a bikini aswell which suited her much more than the ridiculous outfit she was wearing earlier and it took all Ashley's strenghth not to give the girl a once over.
"I guess somebody should" Spencer replied clearly annoyed that Jackson had neglected to tell her anything.
"Ok, Jackson and I are twins and Kyla is two years younger than us"
"You're his twin?"
"Not identical obviously but yes"
"Conitnue"
"As you know now Kyla is with Aiden and they have been dating for 3 years. I have known Aiden since I was 6 and he is my favourite person in the world and is the only boy I have ever kissed..."
"Only boy?"
"Yes...my little Brother probably left out the not so secret secret that his twin sister is a raving lesbian"
"Why wouldn't he tell me that?"
"Probably because and please don't tell him that I've told you this but his high school sweet heart accused me of kissing her and Jackson believed her"
"Did you?"
"No...I would never do that to my Brother. At that point we were still the best of friends but then he went off to Yale and he was still mad at me and that's how it stayed" Ashley explained finding it quite easy to talk to this girl.
"Then why did he believe her?"
"Probably because I'm not the nicest person in the world Spencer"
"You seem pretty nice to me"
"I'm not...just ask everybody here"
"Well I'll be the judge of that Ashley" Spencer said as she smiled at Ashley and they stayed like that for a few seconds until they were interrupted by Jackson taking a seat next to Spencer.
"What you two talking about?"Jackson asked nervously as if he knew that Ashley was going to tell Spencer something he didn't want her to know.
"Well, you're twin here was just telling me a few things that I had no clue about"
"Ash can you give us a minute please?"Jackson asked knowing that Spencer would want to know why he had left out huge pieces of information about his family.
"Sure" Ashley walked away slowly so she could hear whatever was happening. "Jack why are you not telling me everything? was all that Ashley heard as Jackson took Spencer to the pool house for some privacy probably.
"What's up with them?"Kyla asked eyeing Ashley up.
"Jackass hasn't told his fiance anything about our perfect family here so she's a little peaved" Ashley explained swigging her beer.
"Do you think he hates us all that much?"Kyla asked clearly annoyed.
"No...I mean....I think he just forgets that we're here. This is the first time he's been home in two years"
"Ash it's the first time you've been home in 3 years and you live 20 minutes away" Kyla said smugly clearly feeling like the better child.
"Ok point taken"
"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN CAN I PLEASE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION????" Raife shouted holding his glass up followed y the butler with a bottle of champagne and glasses. Once Raife was satisfied that he had everyones attention he started talking.
"I WOULD LIKE TO RAISE A TOAST TO MY SON JACKSON AND HIS BEAUTIFUL FIANCE SPENCER. HOPEFULLY YOUR MARRIAGE IS FULL OF HAPPINESS AND SMILES.....TO SPENCER AND JACKSON" Raife said holding up his glass swaying from the alcohol. Everybody raised their glasses and tried to ignore the giant elephant in the room in the shape of uncomfortable slience between the happy couple.
