From the Bottom of the Stairs to the Top of the World

Chapter 1

Cass's P.O.V

Looking back on my life, I find that I am the oldest kid and by far the most boring.  I am 19 and I have never had a boyfriend, I have one friend, I rarely do anything active and I am a nerd. I love to stay inside with my books and music. I enjoy being able to soak it all in. I also love going to work because sometimes it is my escape from my crazy house.  All I have wanted to do since I was little was go to school. But now that I have graduated, I need to start looking for a better job.

I hate the breaks, except summer break, we would always go traveling. I always loved those trips. They were so much fun. If I could just rewind the tape and go back there, I would be happy.  We would go to tons of different places. There was only 4 of us then. Those trips stopped when mom got pregnant with the first set of the twins. The first set of twins were born when Dom and I were 11, the other set of twins were born right after we turned 14. So they are 8 and 5, and we never went on those trips again. It is kind of sad, they were fun. Plus mom and dad always fight over what to do with all of us now over breaks. I have heard both of them threaten the other with a divorce so many times that I wonder why did they even get married in the first place.

Oh did I mention that today was a very depressing day? Well it is. I found out that one of my cousin, Abbi, has to move to America to live with her dad because her mom got into a car crash and is fighting for her life in the hospital. I don't know who is going to fly with her or if her dad is going to come and get her. She is only 4, so she can't fly by herself. Maybe I should talk to mom or dad and see if I can fly her out there, if her dad can't come, I mean.  Her dad said that if he can't get the time off to come get her he will pay for round trip airfare for whoever brings her, so we don't need to worry about that. Not that we would have to worry anyway, I mean my parents are pretty rich, so money has never really been a problem.

I will do that tomorrow, today she is in one of her moods. Every one know not to bug her when she is in a mood. 

"CASSANDRA JEWEL LEESON! YOU GET DOWN HERE RIGHT THIS INSTANT OR YOU WILL BE FINDING YOUR OWN RIDE TO WORK FROM NOW ON!" My mom yells at me from the base of the stairs.

"I'm coming, Mom. just give me a minute to get my stuff." I say from my doorframe.

With that I collected my purse and phone off of the dresser and slipped on my shoes as I walked out the of my room. As I walked out I saw the other kids running around down on the main floor. It looked as if they were headed for the car...........Great............3 boys and all of their futbal gear plus a ballerina, and a grumpy mother in one car. F........U.......N.

WELLLLLLL, that was a fun car ride.  Mom was yelling at everyone that was in front of her or around her, even if they did nothing wrong. I was happy to get to work.  It seemed like it was taking forever to get there, too. The boys kept yelling at each other about who knows what and Ellie is just sitting there watching the scenery pass by outside her window. Mom kept yelling at the cars around us, so eventually I put my headphones in and turned up my 1D playlist. The first song that came on was WMYB. That made me smile.
