The Seashell And Her Jewel

I seriously love you guys! The support you've shown is amazing! So thank you so much. Anyway this is the drunk truth or dare I mentioned before. So this one is set on the Isle and their just hanging out one day, when Evie and Carlos come back with a few bottles of wine and liquor. Well Carlos and Isla aren't of age but they do drink because this is the Isle, there's no rules. In this they start to tell each other about their home lifes. By the way for you underage kids, NO UNDERAGE DRINKING! Okay, now on with the story.

I only own Isla.

Chapter Four

Isla's POV

"Mal open a window for Hade's sake!" I groan out. Right now it was just Mal, Jay and I lounging around the hideout. Jay and I laying on the couch together, while Mal was finishing her latest masterpiece.

"Open one yourself Isla." Mal said not looking up from her painting. She was painting every part of the room to match our personalities. Evie's side of the room had a painting of herself, with thorns and roses surrounding. It was every inch beautiful as it was regal.

Jay's side had a painting of him. It had the same look he did when he was looking for his next steal, he looked smug and powerful. Around him were the colors reds and gold. It looked like the deserts sand swirling around him.

Carlos' part of the room was covered in blacks, whites and reds. Once again the center of his room had a painting of his face. The room was a cross between mischief and there was a childish air to it.

The only parts Mal hadn't finished yet were my area, hers and the main part. Right now she was working on the min area. She had already gone through some many cans of spray paint and she wasn't close to finishing. The only problem was none of us were allowed to even take a peak at it.

"Too lazy." I complained barely lifting my head from Jay's chest. "Where are 'Los and Eves?"

"Don't know." Jay said. "They said something about getting something. Or something. I wasn't paying attention." Jay added looking down at me with a smirk.

"That's not my fault." I deny, my cheeks turning a brilliant scarlet. Jay hummed in response and before he could elaborate Evie and Carlos walk in with smug smiles.

"Guess who bought the party?" Carlos called setting his bag down. Opening up the small compartment he pulled out a few cans of alcohol. Evie also pulled out a few bottles of wine, that surprisingly were pretty full.

"Wow!" I whistled at the bottles of wine. "Guess it's not too good to have a drinking problem in Auardon."

"Oh well. More for us." Mal said bringing out the cups.

" 'Los chuck me can." Jay said sitting u and catching the can.

"You after anything Isle's?" Evie asked pouring a cup for herself.

"Yeah give me some of the fancy stuff." I say and Evie passes me a cup full of sweet smelling wine.

"Here's to us." Mal said raising her cup high. "The Rotten Five." She toasted and we all raised our cans and cups as well.

I don't know how much is too much, but I think some people ( cough Jay cough) have long since passed too much. Carlos and I being the responsible ones, and the underage ones, have only had a few. Whereas Evie, Mal and Jay have had enough that Evie has gone red, Mal is laughing uncontrollably and Jay was jumping around the room.

"Okay, okay." Mal said waving her hands around. "Evie, truth or dare?" Oh yeah and somehow we had started playing truth or dare, don't ask.

"Dare, duh." Evie giggled leaning into Carlos' side.

"I dare you to...kiss Carlos!" Mal exclaimed. Carlos blushed bright red and Evie shrugged her shoulders. She leaned over and I swear I never want to see that again. Evie didn't kiss Carlos, oh no, she's making out with him!

"Get a room!" I exclaimed covering my eyes.

"Well Isla, this is exactly how we feel when we see you and Jay making out on the couch." Carlos said with red cheeks and a smirk on his face.

''Alright Jay." Evie slurred. "Truth or dare."

"I'm no pussy. Dare." Jay said, he was sitting slumped against my side.

"I dare you to tell us about your childhood." Evie said throwing her head back onto Carlos' shoulder.

"Evie, maybe that's not such a good idea." I warn her. I don't want Jay to say anything he doesn't want to.

"It's fine babe. Trust me. Loosen up, take a sip of your wine." Jay said with a carefree smile. You know what I can feel bad I didn't stop him later, I think as I take a chug of my wine.

So Jay tells and we listen. Somehow we all started talking about our parents and our childhoods, and wow this is shit we'd never admit sober. We were just comparing childhoods and at one point Mal and Jay turned it into a contest.

Evie had broken down when she started explaining how her mother had beat the thought of beauty into her. How she'd spent so many nights locked in her room, only allowed out when her makeup was impeccable, after all a prince only wants a beauty.

Carlos had revealed the stories behind the scars littering his body. He told the stories that his mother told him, about the dogs. He started the stories with a frown and his eyes glazed over, lost in the memories.

Mal's stories weren't too bad. Her mother just wanted her to be exactly like her. A daughter, who would follow her instructions and plans, who would win and help her take over. Mal laughed the whole way through her stories.

Jay's stories were full of thievery. Ever since he could walk, Jafar had him stealing. It wasn't until he was a little bit older, he started to keep some of the things he stole. If Jay didn't steal or give Jafar enough, Jay was punished. Days locked up without food or water. The only way he didn't die was when he snuck out and stole something to eat or drink. I kept a hand on his arm the whole time.

It wasn't until Jay had finished and the others turned to me that I realized how scared I was. They had all put their hearts on their slaves and told their stories, and I was chickening out. Oh well, I thought, who's even going to remember this in the morning. And so, taking a gulp of the wine, I opened up to my family. I told them everything. How my first memory was Ursula trying to drown me. How I was only a mistake in Ursula's eyes and I was just hers and Uma's punching bag. Like Carlos I showed some of the worst scars. While Evie may have cried because of her mother, I wasn't going to shed any tears for that bitch.

When I finish we all sit there in silence, we sit in a tangle of limbs. Jay's arm was wrapped around my waist holding me closer, his other arm slung around Mal's shoulders, I was holding one of Mal's hands and Evie was holding the other, Evie's head was in Carlos' lap and he was running his fingers through her hair.

We sit in silence for so long, no-one notices who falls asleep first.

When I wake up the next morning I notice a few things. The first thing I notice is that it's pretty late in the morning. The next thing is that my head is pounding, I mean seriously I didn't even drink that much. And finally, I remember everything. Every story, every tear Evie shed and every scar shown.

I take a look around the and notice everyone looking peaceful. To the rest of the Isle The Rotten Five were heartless, wicked and cruel. But when it was just us we were differant. We laughed, we smiled and we loved our misfit family.

I gently untangle myself from Jay's hold and make my way to the small, makeshift kitchen. At least three of these guys are going to need coffee. I'm being as quiet as I can when pulling out the cups and rest of the stuff.

"Need any help?" A quiet voice says from behind. Despite recognizing the voice instantly I still jump out of surprise.

"Give a girl a little warning 'Los." I say half seriously.

Carlos laughs before stepping out of the room and then walking back. "Hi I'm Carlos, I'm walking into the kitchen." He says sarcastically. He walks over and takes Evie's and his cup out of my hands.

"I can do it you know." I tell him as he starts boiling the water.

"You, Jay and Mal like weird ass coffee. Too strong." He shrugs.

"It's gotta be strong or it really tastes like dirt." I half sass back with one hand on my hip. Carlos laughs slightly before going back to his and Evie's beverages.

"So, how much do you remember of last night?" He asks and my hand stops mid stir.

"Everything." I say quietly. No point in lying, he was about as drunk as me. "You?"

"Same." Carlos says.

"I promised myself I would never tell anyone about what happens with Ursula. Guess I lied." I said not looking up as I stirred the drinks.

"I said the same thing a long time ago." He said coming up next to me.

"Think they'll remember any of it?"I wonder with a slight frown.

"I don't know but I don't think I'd mind if they did. We're family and family doesn't judge." Carlos said with a shrug.

"Where'd you learn that? Pretty sure our parents always judged." I snort.

"I learnt that with you guys, because your my real family." Carlos said with a smile. I smiled back and pulled him into a hug.

"I'd much rather have you guys than Uma and Ursula." I tell him. "Come on let's get these drinks finished before they wake up." I say as Carlos pulls back. We finish making the sludge we call coffee and carry them back to the main area.

When we enter we see Mal glaring at the wall, Evie with her head shoved into a pillow and Jay holding his head in his hands. "Morning." I say quietly which causes groans around the room. "Wow what a welcome." I laugh handing Mal her coffee.

"Stop yelling." Mal groans into her cup.

"No-ones yelling Mal." I tell her as I coax Jay's head up. "Your just hung over." I add, handing Jay his cup.

We all sit in silence, each revealing in the coffee. ''So are we gonna talk about last night?" Evie asks. Aww her and Carlos are seriously meant for each other.

"Do we have to?" I groan into Jay's shoulder.

"Yes. Because that's what family's do. They talk." Carlos says with a gentle smile.

"Okay," Jay starts. "Last night we got wasted, played truth or dare and found out how shitty our home lives are. What more do we have to say about it?" He finishes with a shrug.

"We make a vow." Mal interjects her eyes still focused on her cup. "We vow that whatever was said, stays between us. Like Carlos said we're family. We've stuck together for how long? We make a vow, to stay family for a long time to come." Mal said lifting her eyes to meet ours.

"A vow's not good enough for us. We're better than words." I say with a smile. So what do we do? We prick our fingers and become blood siblings. When I mix my blood with Jay's he looks down at me and says, "I promise to stay with you forever. To always protect and keep you safe."

I look him directly in the eyes and say, "Nothing will break us apart. I will stay by your side forever and always make you know your loved." We smile at each other and Jay captures my lips in his briefly.

"You know," Evie drawls. "In Auradon you guys would be married now."

"So?" Jay shrugs. "It was going to happen sooner or later."

"Wow, so romantic." I drawl.

"On no this is romantic." Jay said putting his cup down and pulling me into his lap. He places one arm under my knees and the other around my back. Jay stands picking me up bridal style.

"Excuse us everybody. We have a marriage to make official." Jay says walking out of the room with me in his arms. I laugh slightly and shift in his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I love you, My Seashell." Jay tells me softly.

"I love you more, Jewel of My Heart." I tell him with a smile. And so we enter his room and we spend hours together as 'husband and wife'. At least we are in our eyes.

Yes this is set just before Auradon.
