Father, Please

Chapter 5: Here We Are

Author's Note: My hc is, Tracey had always wanted a sister instead of a brother. She might be a little attached to Cassidy.

<Still the same day>

The rest of the family took the news surprisingly well.

Tracey did at least.

Amanda didn't seem too happy finding out Michael cheated on her, in the past.

Michael didn't bother going after her.

Everyone else was still in shock from the revelation.

"Oh my goshhh! I have a sister!" Tracey says excitedly.

Jimmy didn't particularly care.

Cassidy was an only child so she often dreamed about having siblings.

Looking at her watch.

"It's getting late, I should go."

"I think I'm gonna head out. I work pretty early tomorrow." Cassidy says to everyone.

"Awww really? Will you come back tomorrow?" Tracey asks.

"I'll try, but I'm pretty busy with work."

Cassidy exchanges numbers with Tracey and they all say their goodbyes.

"God, I need a break from work."

-

Another day. Another dollar?

"My Boss makes a dollar and I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time!"

Cassidy didn't remember where she heard that from, but it couldn't be more true.

Work was okay. The team actually got stuff done despite her not being there.

The first phase was done and they'd already gotten started on the second.

"I'm so proud of everyone. You've all really exceeded my expectations. I wish the higher ups would recognize that."

Everyone thanks Cassidy and signs off for their lunch break.

"Finally lunchtime. I'm so hungry."

Having missed breakfast due to her being distracted on Bleeter.

"I should just delete my account."

"But Tracey made it for me. That would be such a dick move."

Lunch was pancit canton. The instant version at least.

A friend sent her some when they went to Hawaii last week.

It was really fucking good but Megan only sent her a couple, and Cassidy was rationing it like it was the apocalypse.

"I should ask Megan to send me more. Or I could go to Hawaii myself."

"Definitely not. It's already hot enough here in LS."

No Bleeter this time. Just some good old fashioned MeTube.

Nothing in particular. Cassidy just clicks on whatever video shows up first.

*phone dings*

A message pops up on the screen.

[hiiii Cass. It's Tracey.]
[If ur free ltr we can totes go to the beach]
[It'll just be me n my friends]
[lmk!]

Cassidy:
[srry Trace. got lots of stuff 2 do today :( ]

Cassidy puts her phone away and opens her laptop.

~Flashback, Year 2000~

Little Cassidy had always wanted a sibling.
