Chapter 10: My Wonderful Brother

Chapter 10: (Cassie's POV)

*5 days later*

As the girls frantically get prepped up for the summer ball I lay on the floor of Ashton's room, still in my pjs, and on Tumblr. "Good god Cas! Come here an try on your dress!" Ashton yells. "In a minute! I'm on Tumblr!" I shout back. "Oh absolutely not!" Aston exclaims, taking my phone. "Hey! that's mine!" I snap. "Dress. Hair. Makeup. Now." She glares at me. I let out a large huff of air and pick up my dress hesitantly. This is one of the few occasions I'll dress up for. Plus my brother will be there, so I have to dress up. Blah. Why do you make me do this Preston (my brother)?!?! Ashton and Liz help me get ready. Liz does my hair, while Ashton does the makeup I don't want. After about 10 minutes I'm ready. I put in a pair of starfish earrings and a starfish necklace. "Ok am I done?" I ask. "Yes, but don't ruin your hair or make up! or we will murderize you!!" Ashton threatens. "That's a dry threat but Okey dokey!" I laugh walking out of the room. I slide down the railing of the stairs and land carefully on the floor. The boys all look at me with astoundment. "You guys clean up nicely" I smile. Ricky seems the most shocked. But overall, they all had their mouths dropped. Hahaha I guess I'm 'drop mouth' gorgeous! Hahah... no... I'm a loser... Ok anyway, moving on... "Ready to go?" Ashton asks walking down in her elegant, red dress. She looks great! So does Liz! We all look fantabulous!

As we chat the front door opens. "Guess who's favorite British brother is here!?" The person yells as they walk in. "Preston!!" I cheer. I run over to him and tackle him with a bear hug. "Aww look at you! You look extremely beautiful! Blue looks great on you, but black is better!" He smiles. "Oh Preston! Don't worry I haven't lost all of my British-ness!" I chuckle. "Glad to hear you still have that odd accent of yours" He smirks. I punch him lightly and we both burst out into laughter. He's right I have the weirdest accent! I have a mix of British and Southern. It literally sounds so weird! I even laugh at myself at the most random times. Like during a video or an important dinner. People already think I'm insane! "Oh shut up" I roll my eyes. "Well, c'mon your escorts are here" Preston smiles, referencing to himself and Rob. Rob and Preston get into escort position and lead me, Ashton, and Liz out of the house and into the car with the boys close behind. "So which one of you chaps is my little sisters date to the dance?" Preston asks the boys. "Hehehe chaps" Tyler snickers. Preston rolls his eyes and makes the 'Yes I say chaps' face. "I'm her date" Ricky says shyly. "Well c'mon I have to evaluate you before you even touch her! So what's your name?" Preston asks. Ricky slowly walks forward an tells him his name. "Ricky, nice I like it. Very 'American' " Preston laughs. I chuckle with him and say "Oh give the poor boy a break." Ricky seems terrified to be around my brother. But hey who isn't? I mean seriously. Preston has black, emo-ish hair, dark brown eyes like me, and is fairly tall, unlike me. We have quiet the few similarities other than height and hair color. "Well, we need to get going so you'll have to tell me about your self on the way there. But if your not good enough for my baby girl, you will be dateless and she will be my date instead" Preston say glaring at him. Ah... and there's the over protective brother I know. Liz shook her head as Rob, her brother, gave JC the same talk. We both look at each other and smile. We shrug our shoulders and get into our brother's cars. "See you on the other side!!" I yell out to Ashton and Liz who are riding with Rob.

Through out the duration of the car ride my brother threw the most random questions at Ricky and sometimes he didn't know how to answer them. This is going good. Preston was not impressed. "I don't know about him little sis.." Preston whispers to me, so no one else will hear. "Oh please, he's fine" I say rolling my eyes. I pull out my phone, which I wasn't supposed to bring, but oh well. I show Preston some pictures of the 2 of us together. "Aww, you went boogie boarding!" Preston coos. "Yes we did. Ricky sucked at first" I laugh. Ricky blushes and says "But I got better. "Yes you did" I smile. We lock eyes and I don't understand how anyone could dislike him. He's literal perfection. Well... more like imperfection, but I don't care. Imperfection is good to me. It gives a person character. I'm snapped out of my trance when Preston grabs my hand and says "I give you permission to be Ricky's date." My face lights up and I hug him. "Oh my gosh! Thank you! Your the best brother ever!" I cheer kissing his cheek. "Oh that's not it, wait till I give you my early birthday present!" He smiles. I love my brother he's awesome. "Ooooo! what is it!?" I ask. "You'll find out later, but for now we have a dance to attend!" He exclaims. Ricky helps me out of the car and he escorts me up to the large mansion like building. Tyler, Preston, Kian, and Sam follow closely behind us as we walk keeping quiet the whole time surprisingly. Eventually, we find the others and head inside. The night is magical. Ricky and I slow dance a lot and tell jokes during them. The majority of the night was spent laughing and just falling harder for Ricky. But over all it was amazing. Sadly all good things come to an end. The dance was over after 2 hours of pure happiness. I don't think there was ever a moment where I wasn't smiling.

*2 hours later*

I let out a big yawn and lay my head on Preston's shoulder in the car. "Tired already?" He asks. "Yes, very tired" I yawn again. Preston loves to make fun of me when I'm tired. I don't know why, but he just does. "Aww the little princess needs her beauty sleep" He coos, making a kissing face. He kisses my cheek and says "Just stay awake long enough for me to give you your present." I nod my head slowly and stare out the window. Other than that small conversation the car was silent. After a couple more minutes we make it home. Apparently I fell asleep in the car because next thing I knew I was in my pajamas and the sun was shining. "Who put me here? How did they get me up here? That had to be a talented person" was all that ran through my head. I roll back over and curl up in my blankets, maybe I'll just go back to sleep. Ha! Nope! Preston shakes me and yells "Rise and shine Cassie! The sun is up and so should you!" I moan loudly and pull my pillows over my head. "Cassie Marie Summers, get down from the top bunk now and come eat your breakfast that I made just for you!" Preston demands. I instantly get up and climb down the ladder that gave me access to the top bunk. The 2 of us race down the steps and into the kitchen. Surprisingly everyone was awake. Preston and I erupt in laughter when we get odd looks from everyone. "I think I know how they're related" Trevor mumbles. "Oh keep your mouth shut or I will shove that biscuit down your throat!" I shout. Apparently I'm also really hyper. "Noooo!!! Not my biscuits!!!" Preston cries sarcastically. I roll my eyes and plop down at the head of the table. Preston takes the other head of the table and we begin breakfast. Various conversations fill the room and we joyfully eat breakfast together. At the end of breakfast Preston tapped the side of his cup to gain everyone's attention. "Thank you" He smiles as everyone shuts up. Preston carries on with this long message and by the end he gets to the exciting part. "Anyway, back on track now. Cassie, I wanted to ask you something important" Preston rambles on. "Ok go ahead" I tell him. I wonder what is so important. "I wanted to ask if you wanted to move back to England, with me and Rob. We have some friends we really want you to meet. Plus you'll be back in your home country. But you don't have to come if you don't want to. It's your choice. Ashton and Liz are also welcome to come" Preston says, shocking everyone. I glance at the girls and they give me looks of approval. I squeal happily and say "Of course! We'd love to come live in a flat with you!"
