We were brought downstairs- both of us sat on the couch- all five of them looking at us.

At this point- I wanted to crawl in a hole and die

I'd probably be happier there.

"Macey- where's your bipolar medicine?" Mom questioned.

"I lost it" she spoke.

"Why wouldn't you bring this up?" She spat back.

Macey shrugged in response.

"Calum- please order her-" "on it" he immediately spoke back.

"Now- I'm not happy with either of you right now" mom spoke- anger very prominent.

"And I don't know what to do with either of you- but you need to know that I will be trying to find a place for you two to sort out your issues" she spoke.

"You are sisters- I raised you two to love each other" she cried, my knee still shaking angrily.

"Hearing you say that you would care is she died- that hurts me." She spat towards Macey.

"Casey- you're going to spend the next few nights with Luke, Ashton and Michael- you will not be coming back until Calum and I think the water is clear-" "so I'm punished for Macey's actions?" I laughed lightly.

"This is not a punishment- nor should it be viewed that way. Calum and I clearly need to have some discussions with Macey" she spoke, making me shake my head lightly- laughing.

"I'm down to my last straw Macey" mom spoke.

"And now- consequences will occur for both of you-" "so I am being punished for her actions?" I laughed.

"Yes- I guess you are." Mom laughed towards me.

"That's not fair-" "life isn't fair Casey." She laughed quickly.

"Yeah- I get that lesson everyday." I spat out, leaning back completely in the couch.

"I love you two too much to watch this happen to both of you" she spoke- making me swallow the tears in my throat.

If she loves us so much, why do I never feel loved completely by her?

"Like I said- there will be a camp- or some sort of action to make up for this."

Moments later- she looked to us.

"Casey- give me a hug- it's time for you to go" she spoke, making me immediately stand.

I hugged her- barely holding her.

I walked past Calum, feeling him grab my wrist- pulling me back to him.

I was pulled into his chest- almost making me cry on spot- but I didn't.

"Don't let her actions change yours." He mumbled quietly.

"I'm getting punished for her actions- so I might as well"

Not another word was said- I left with the boys.

I went to their house- I cried my eyes out in the shower.

Like not even the pretty crying- like the angry, I want to kill someone crying.

I got out, putting my clothes on.

I sat on the counter, letting my head lean against the mirror.

I took the rest of my make up off.

I braided my wet hair into two braids.

Not wanting to exactly speak to anyone- I went to the bed, laying down under the blankets.

I rolled onto my stomach, planting my face into the pillow.

As I was almost asleep- I heard the door open.

I felt someone crawl into bed with me, pulling me closer- I immediately recognized Luke.

I held him, feeling him kiss my head gently.

"He was supposed to make everything better" I mumbled.

"What princess?" Luke whispered

"Calum- when he married mom." I spoke

"He was supposed to make us one big, happy family"
