Chapter Text
Pandora used to love her birthday. She loved it because her parents never argued on this day, they always bought her the beast chocolate cake, and let her eat how much she wants. They always took her to the best restaruant to eat dinner and let her watch a movie before sleep. But the best thing about her birthday was that she was sharing it with her twin brother.
Evan always got a vanilla cake because he hates chocolate. They would always argue witch cake is better. During the dinner he would make the funniest jokes and pandora had to stop her giggles.
They would watch the same movie every year because they only owned one dvd and their parents werent bothered to buy a new one. Even though they memorised the movie by heart they always had fun.
But that was back in France. Right now Pandora is all alone in London. Their 19th birthday was the last birthday they spend together even though they were mad at eachother at the time it was still better than their 20th birthday. She spent it partying with her closest friends in London when Evan was in france. Without him it didnt feel like a real birthday. She got super wasted and after they went home she cried in Regulus arms. Tommorow is 13th of december which means her birthday.
She left france immediately after graduating high school. She wanted to be a writer and got into her dream collage, her parents werent talking to her or Evan. Also she got into a big fight with Evan. They both did some bad things and needed some time alone and will make up in 2 weeks max. At least she though that. After she left france 2 years ago she didnt hear a thing from her brother. He blocked her number and moved so she couldnt write him a letter She tried to stalk him on social media but he didnt have any. So she didnt know anything about her twin. She doesnt even know if he is alive.
But still this is the happiest she ever was. She has her own apartament with Barty and Regulus her best friends. She also is in a band with them and her other best friend Dorcas. She tries to live her life the fullest but she cant stop thinking about Evan. Today is her birthday her friends are throwing
her a party but she still thinks she would be happier
bickering with Evan over the flavor of cake.
"Dora!" Barty yelled coming though the door. He was carring a big box with the cake. "What" said pandora taking off her headphones. "I bought you chocolate cake but Reggie says its a surprise" Barty put the cake in the fridger and turned around "Im gonna be back later" Barty wagged his eyebrows and left. Pandora rolled her eyes everyone know about Bartys favorite activity but as long he was safe she didnt have a problem whit that.
"You okay?" It was Regulus this time. His Black curls were messy which was rare. His pale skin was stained with pink flush on his cheeks. He took of his scarf and winced at pandora because she was siting at the kitchen counter. Reg was super serious about germs. "Yup, just thinkin" Pandora hopped down from the counter. "About" He inquired while she was watching him make tea. "You know who" she mumbled.
Regulus looked at her knowingly. The reason they got along so well was their sibling trauma. She lost her younger brother and he lost his older. They met at a party when they were both super drunk and somehow started venting. Since that day they become best friends. She loved him because they understood eachother without words.
"We dont have to throw the party you know. We can invite Dorcas and just spend time together" Regulus was saying this like it was nothing but it meant the world to Pandora. She felt understood. "Thank you" she whispered and smiled softly at him.
Her 21st birthday was fine. It wasnt amazing because Evan wasnt there but it wasnt as bad as the last one. She still got super drunk. But this time she didnt have much time to cry because drunk Dorcas is super clingy so she just spend the night glued to her on the floor talking about everything and nothing. While Barty was snoring loudly on the couch and Regulus went to his room because he couldnt stand it. Still when she woke up with her head on Dorcas chest she couldnt stop the nauseousness she felt by thinking about Evan.
