I heard my alarm go off at five thirty am just like it did every morning. I felt Rascal, my baby pet fennec fox, nuzzle my cheek. He was given to me by my parents just a month ago because they wanted me to pestering them about needing to talk to them. I never got to tell them...its not everyday that this kinda thing came up, and I desperately wanted their attention but no they gotbme a pet and waved me off.

I looked over to see that Vidia was still sleeping, so I climbed out of bed and started my morning routine. Make my bed was the first thing I did, then I went to my closet to pick out what I was going to wear that day. I decided on some baggy cargo pants and a sweatshirt, all my clothes were getting too big fornme but I take that as a good sign.

I make my way to the bathroom and get undressed then I weigh myself, 102lbs, only twelve pounds to go. I have to be perfect, if my parents ever pay attention to me I want them to see that I am doing everything I can to make them happy. I take a fifteen minute shower then get dressed and brush out my hair.

As I am bringing my things to my room I find Cassie heading to her own room " 'mornin Cassie, want to go for a ride later?"

"'mornin Cassie, want to go for a ride later?"
"Not today. I'm gonna go alone, I need to think. But, later I need to talk to you or Vidia. Or both. About something. It's really, really important. And Alexis do me a favor. Please, eat something. I act like I hate you and everyone else sometimes, but I can't lose you." I start walking away, but I turn my head back for a sec. "And just so we're clear if you tell anyone this, I'll deny it." A slight smile forms on my face.

In my room I slip out of my heather gray Abercrombie yoga shorts, and Victoria's Secret magenta tank top. I look at myself in the full length mirror and take a mental picture of my beauty. I grab my rainbow zebra pattern riding socks, breeches, navy blue Abercrombie polo, and thin black belt. I get my tall boots from the closet and lace them up.
I walk over to my record machine and put on the vinyl version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii o
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I iiii

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I... I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii?


Once the song fades out, I walk out into the hall.

I frown slightly when Cassie denys my request to go riding, may I can get Vidia to go.
I was taken back when Cassie mentioned her eating, how did Cassie know, I havent told anyone about it and really tried to not bring attention onto myself "I already ate, no need to worry about me. And you know Vidia and I are always here if you need to talk".
After Cassie heads to her room I head into my own and pick up Rascal then go sit on Vidia's bed.
"Vi wake up I would like to talk with you" I gently shake Vidia's shoulder then lay down beside my twin "Vidia wake up please".

June 23rd, 2012; 5:35am

When Alexis's alarm went off, it sent her into a long bout of groans and grumbles in argument. She even grabbed one of my endless amount of pillows and threw it at her, causing Jinx and Mistique to mew in annoyance and burrow deeper under the covers of her bed sheets.

When she finally summoned the courage to crawl out of bed and the warmth that came with it, it was slowly and almost like a caterpillar escaping its cocoon to reveal what a beautiful butterfly it had turned into.

"Do you always have to get up so early?" she whined as Alexis made her way back into the room several minutes later. "I can't, I have to drop everyone off at their practices, Kimmy has summer preschool, and then I have to run errands, remember?" she asked as she slowly went about getting ready for her day, taking a shower in the side of the bathroom that was connected to her sister's. The opposites sides of the bathroom were identical in design, only Vidia's belongings were differently shaped, colored, designed, and anything else someone could imagine. She blow dried her hair and added a small amount of make up to her features, giving herself a smoky eyed look, then tugged on a pair of jeans shorts and a form-fitting white tank top. She pulled her hair back then let it fall back into placed, fluffed it a little, then smiled at her reflection and practically skipped from the bedroom.

She made her way down the halls and finally the stairs, Jinx and Mistique following her. She made her way into the living room and lifted the blanket from over the cage that housed her two birds. She moved her finger against the bars. "Hello Tonio, hello Danela. How'd you two lovebirds sleep?" she smiled, opening the cage and slipping her hands inside to let them wrap their claws around her fingers and she placed them on top of the cage. She opened the feeder inside the cage and filled it with fresh seeds, then opened the water tank and filled it with fresh water. She then lifted the two sleepy birds and placed them back inside the cage, stroking their heads before shutting the door of the cage. She smiled at them, waved, then bid them a goodbye and left the room. Her two white baby tigers trailed after her, almost like puppies, into the kitchen, where she pulled out several pots and pans to cook the normal food she would make for her siblings that woke up later then she did.

She prepared bacon, eggs, omelettes, pancakes, muffins, sausages and one of Kimmy's favorites, pancakes with berries on top. "Breakfast is ready!" she shouted through the house, casting a glance at the clock. It was six-fifteen and they would have another hour before they needed to leave to drop Kimberly off at her summer-preschool and get everyone to practices for the sports they were in, and so she could run errands, so she began to set out plates and place food on them. She moved to the front door and leaned out into the cool, spring morning air. "Whoever wants food had better come and get it!" she shouted, her voice carrying across the acres of farm that they owned. She finally leaned back inside after several moments then returned to the kitchen and went about filling the many animal bowls that were set in what everyone now called the Animal Room, which was basically where the animals ate and played and sometimes slept, along with where the animals were all kept, including her birds. It took a long time since she was the only one that ever did it, but it had to get done by someone, somehow.

I felt like everyone was pushing me away, first mom and dad, now Cassie and Vidia. I let out a small sigh and go lay down on my bed for a few minutes, letting my mind wander. I then felt my stomach rumble but ignored it, I have been getting better at being able to ignore the pains.

I dont know how long I have been laying there but I must of spaced out because I hear Vidia yelling something about breakfast. I get out of bed, put on my combat boots and then look back to Rascal "ill be back in a bit, dont cause too much mischief". I head downstairs and get a glass of water then went to look for Vidia.

I found her in the animal room "Vidia im heading out, going to ride Sage then head to dance, not sure when ill be back. Have a pleasent day" I said in a bit of a dry tone, maybe it would just be best if I disappeared for a bit, not like anyone in this family would notice. "Oh I know you eill probably have time for her but Cassie said she needs to talk to either of us or both at some point today but hey if your busy im sure ill be there for her". I then turn to walk away and head out to the barn.

Vidia had almost finished in the animal room when she heard Alexis’s voice. She straightened from filling one of the endless amount of food bowls in the room and offered her a smile. “I’ll make sure that I talk to her and see what she needs,” she said, filling the last bowl then leaving the room and shutting the see-through glass door with various small holes in it. She had let the birds and other animals out of their cages and she really didn’t want them getting out in the house, because it would be a pain in the butt to try and find them in the mansion of a country house that they lived in.

She moved into the kitchen. “Hang on, Alexis,” she ordered, snatching up a muffin and moving over to her. She thrust the muffin into her hands and gave her stern look. “You had better eat that or I’m going to start shoving food down your throat, understand?” she asked, crossing her arms. She had begun to notice changes in her sister; she was losing weight, her clothes weren’t fitting her as well, and she hadn’t been eating very often. “Now you can go, but you had better eat that,” she said as the distant sound of Kimmy’s feet were heard. Vidia turned and smiled at her littlest sister. “Hey honey, I made your favorite,” she said, lifting her up at the waist and into her arms. “Pancakes and your favorite fruit of all time,” she said, walking over to the counter to show her the food. “I’ll make you a plate if you go ahead and sit down at the table,” she said, putting the little girl down again. She then turned and began to fill a plate for before making her way over to the long table in the connected dining room. She set the plate on the table and poured a glass of juice for Kimmy from the pitcher that sat on the table, and then set the glass beside the plate. “Eat up honey,” she said, ruffling her little sister’s hair as she turned back to finish her morning chores in the kitchen, which were to clean the dishes, wash the counters, organize the fridge and cupboards, finish a list for food to buy when she went grocery shopping that day, and wash the floors. First, though, she set the food on the counters and a stack of plates beside them, knowing very well that a lot of her siblings would choose to eat alone in their rooms instead of in the kitchen, but not caring in the least.

I was almost out the door but Vidia caught me, putting a damn muffin in my hand and telling me to eat, like that would happen. "You not my mom Vi and im not hungry" I put the muffin back on the counter and was out the door before I could hear another word. Maybe just maybe I could talk to Elodie later.
I head into the stable and see Cecil with Tempest " 'morning C plan on going on a ride?" I ask as a grab a brush and head over to the stall that was across feom Tempest. There was a nameplate on the stall that read 'Sage' and in the stall was a black three year old horse. "Why hello there sweetie, want to stretch your legs this morning?" I ask the horse as I go in the stall and start brushing Sage.

I looked at Alexis in surprise, what was she doing here?
Then I remembered that she had a horse as well, I didnt know what the name of it was, so I quickly looked at the four letters neatly stamped onto a nameplate that hung in the horses stall.
Sage, that was it.

"Uh, no, I was just-" I was about to answer, but Tempest cut me off by kicking her hoof on the stall door, obviously not agreeing with me.
I frowned, "I mean..." I trailed off.
I was planning on saying, 'Of course not! Can you really see me riding that thing? I hate horses!' But then I realized that if I said that, Alexis would only ask why I was in the barn. And frankly I didnt have an answer to that.
So instead I didnt say anything and just simply left the barn.
Im such a great conversationalist, right?

I walk into the barn, Cecil walking out and Alexis down by Sage. What was Cecil doing here? He owns Tempest, a chestnut morgan mare. If it weren't for me that horse would be neglected. I feed her, groom her, ride her, and turn her out in the pasture as needed. It was probably a consolation gift for some crappy thing my parents did.

Alexis is becoming so skinny and her clothes are getting baggy. I don't know why she won't eat. Being malnourished won't make her perfect. I became perfect and skinny by watching what I eat and exercising. But why does she care more about being skinny than her life? You know what? To hell with her. I have my own problems. But, it's still kinda scary. The whole idea of her starving to death to be perfect.

The first door has a plaque that reads, "Queen of Hearts" Penny Owned and Loved by Cassie Young. I talk softly to her and stroke her neck. She has a direct view of the house. It must be like watching cable. I slip her halter on and attach my purple lead rope. I walk her down past Rage and Tempest and over to the wash stalls. When she's on the cross ties I put her Blue Ecole Cresant Roma Saddle Pad, white sheepskin half pad, and Saddle on. I slip the martingale over her head and loop the girth through it. I take her off the cross ties and put on her bridle. I lead her out and get on from the mounting block.

I trot past the jumping field, and two-point up the hill. I walk through a tree line and emerge into the field.

How the hell am I gonna fix things? I screwed up so badly. I really need to talk to someone. But Alexis and Vidia. Will they make fun of me? Laugh? I just really need one or both of them.

I feel like I'm about to cry and I can't have that so I pick up the canter. I go over some of the cross country jumps, which Penny glides over like an angel. After I'm done I walk her out and start heading back for home.
I check the clock in the barn. Almost 7. I don't even bother putting her on the cross ties. I get her tack off and put it in the tack room. She stands there, obediently. I brush her then take off her bridle. She follows me back to her stall and goes in.
I whisper a goodbye and walk back towards the house

I watch as Cecil walks off, I shake my head. "No one in this family cares except for themselves Sage, I guess we got that from our parents" I continue to brush Sage, I see Cassie come in but I say nothing to her as she walks to her own horse. I go out of the stall and grab Sage's english tack then I go and saddle her up. After Sage was all set I decide to send Elodie see if I could talk with her later, it might be a suprise to the older lady because I usually didn't talk much but I had no one else I could go to.

My fingers fly over the keyboard as I write and send the text:
To:Elodie
From: Lexi
Hi. This is Alexis. I was wondering if there is a chance I could speak to you at some point today. It would be greatly appreciated.


I finish the text then slide hook my headphones on and find a song to listen to, I decide on Fully Alive by Fly leaf and then I take a hold of Sage's bridle and walk her out to the outside ring where there was a jump course set up from the days before when I practiced. I bring Sage over to the fence, where I climb up and get onto the saddle.

With music blaring in my ears and the feeling of Sage under me I try to let everything else on my mind go. I walk around the ring a few times to warm up Sage's legs, then I bring her to a trot and go over some of the lower jumps. I planned on doing some horse shows this summer and I wanted Sage to be ready for the jumping course.

After about fifteen minutes of warmup I stop Sage in the middle of the course, taking out a stopwatch from my pocket I click start and then click Sage into a trot then a canter. I keep myself focused on the course, and fly through it the best I can but at the eigth jump Sage knicks jher foot on one of the poles, so I stop doing the course and walk Sage around the ring before I try again.

I walked Sage around the ring a couple times before I went back to the middle of the ring. I felt my phone buzz and read the text from Elodie. Of course, I just want to check up on the horses first, and then we can talk, okay? Well that was perfect because I planned on taking Sage around once more then bring her in. I send her a quick text back:

Okay. I am in the ring with Sage now. Ill be in soon.

I send the text the turn on the stop watch and start the course once more. I was at the last and biggest jump, one that has caused Sage and I issues in the past. I was coming at it but something to the right of me spooked Sage and suddenly stopped, causing me to fly over the horses head and land on the ground hard.

"Damnit!" I yell out lout, there was a few different scrapes on my arms and hands, my pants were torn and I think I broke two fingers but those can be fixed up by tape. I let out a sigh and get up and limp over and grab Sage's reins. "Lets go girl, I think we are done for now" I limp slightly as I walk back to the stable and bring Sage into her stall where I untack her and start to brush her down. I decided I would take care of my scrapes and fingers after I got Sage settled in.

Elodie

I rushed through taking care of the horses, but honestly I think I did pretty good considering it wasnt even my job.
I cleaned the stalls and gave the horses water and food... plus I threw in two apples to all of them, just to be nice.
Penny had already been brushed down, so that was nice and saved me some time.
Tempest, however, seemed to be forgotten today.
I think its usually Cassie who takes care of her for the most part... something must be bothering her...
I shook my head, that could be dealt with later.

Just as I finished with Tempest, Alexis came in to the stalls with Sage. I didnt pay any attention to her until she was done taking care of her horse, but when I did I looked at her in surprise,
"For goodness sake, Alexis!" I gasped, walking up to her, "What on earth happened to you?"
She looked like she had just been beaten!
Okay, not as bad as that, but she looked pretty close.

Diane Young

"And be sure to invite everyone you know!" I cheered to whoever was on the opposite end of the phone.
In all honesty I have no clue who it was that I was talking to, some rich old lady who had showed up to a few of my other parties, apparently.
"Yes, im terribly sorry for such short notice..." I apologized, rolling my eyes as the woman continued talking,
"Oh, yes I understand! Shopping for a new outfit at the last minute can be quite a drag, I know. But it would mean the world to me if you showed up tonight, my whole family is looking forward to seeing you again! You're like an idol to them, and im sure that the other guests feel the same."

"Thats terrific! See you soon!" I said, then hung up the phone.
Inviting people to parties was always a dreadful chore, so much work!
I walked out of my room and looked around, where were my kids, anyway? They cant show themselves to my guests without looking presentable, they all need to be wearing the best outfits they have...
Oh! And the house needs to be cleaned! Right, I forgot about that.

I called up a few maids and ordered them to get to work, then I began searching for the little brats of mine.

As I closed the door of Sage's stall, her stall was cleaned and she was fed and watered, I hear Elodie and sigh, I was slightly hopinh Id be able to clean up before anyone me. "Well I was doing the jump course, Sage got spooked and I fell off..ots not that bad. I just need to clean up and tape my fingers and might need to wrap my ankle up but I will be fine. Just need to make sure Mom doesn't see me or she will say Im not presentable and I just can not have that. I have to be perfect for her".

I look down at my left hand "Do you know how to set fingers Elodie?" I hold out my hand to Elodie "Oh and once im cleaned up and you still have time we can talk still? No one else in this house will talk to me except Vidia but shes busy. I just need to tell someone this" I say. I still wasn't sure if I ws ready to tell someone because I was kinda scared what would happen if Mom or Dad found out. I sit down on a bale of hay and wait to see if Elodie could set my fingers back.

I gave a slight frown at Alexis's remark for having to be perfect, but quickly hid it with a smile,
"I dont know about that..." I said, examining Alexis's hand, "Your mother means well... she's kind of like Hera, I suppose." I mused, remembering my own mother mentioning the goddess a few times even though my family was in no way Greek.
"She wants a perfect family... but if that were to happen for you Young's, then it would get rather boring around here, wouldnt it?"
I laughed, wondering if Alexis thought I was just some old lady rambling.

I decided to drop the topic and move on to the next one,
"Well, anyway... im no doctor, but I could give it a try." I said, hoping that I didnt end up making Alexis's hand worse than what it already was.
"And who says we cant talk right now?" I asked, "If there's something you need to say, then its always good to say it when you can. Its healthy for not only your mind, but your spirit, too... atleast thats what my mother used to tell me. If you keep thoughts bottled up, then in time it'll drive you mad, trust me."

I shake my head a Elodie "Have you ever seen my mother sit down and actually talk with us? Or remember our birthdays or graduations? It means nothing to her...we mean nothing to here" I hold back a yelp as Elodie examines my hand. "Well I have dance today so I can't go to the doctors."
"Your mother sounds like a smart woman" I look down at my lap as I think of how to tell someone one of my two deepest secrets. I never plan on telling anyone about my food issue, they just wouldn't understand, no one would and they would force me to eat, which can't happen. I keep quiet for a few minutes before I look up at Elodie "Im gay....do you think my mom will disown me if she finds out?"
I look at my hand and then down at my lap and try hard to fight back the tears that were forming in my eyes, I can't let them fall ebecause then I would be considered weak and I just can't have that.

I didnt want to agree with Alexis, to admit that her mother, my boss, was horrible at both duties.
I didnt want to say that Mrs. Young didnt care about her children, I dont know that. I cant approve of it.
Mostly I didnt want to place another thing in the young lady's mind, I didnt want to let her know that yet another person agree's that her mother is a terrible one indeed.

I managed to keep my smile on my face... or what was left of it, anyway.
But when Alexis said the words, 'Your mother sounds like a smart woman'
My frown reappeared, "Yes, she was."
I was thirty now, finally out of the twenties, and I was still sad.

After that the silence bothered me a bit. Sure, I was used to the quiet, but that was because I was working and there was no one to talk to.
Now it was silent because neither me or Alexis were talking, though there were plenty of things to say.
However, when Alexis spoke, I kind of wished that we could just go back to not talking, but by the look on her face I knew that
I couldnt say nothing. I mean, I had to say something atleast.

"Of course not, Alexis... your mother may be alot of things, but I know that she isnt heartless."

Vidia

Vidia made her way down after Cassie, and into the kitchen to clean up after breakfast. A quick glance at the clock told her she had no time to eat and would have to pick up something while she ran errands - again. She stifled a sigh as she packed away the leftovers for later, slid them into the large fridge, and grabbed her jacket. She pulled it on and slipped a muffin into her mouth, checking her pockets for her wallet. Nothing. "Damn," she muttered, but it was muffled and incomprehensible due to the muffin between her lips.

She took off out of the kitchen and up the stairs, straightening stray papers, grabbing loose clothes along the way, and darted into her and Alexis's room. She had ten minutes before they had to leave. Straightening stray things in her room, along with Alexis's side, and chewing on the muffin along the way, she searched for her wallet. When she finally found it, she stuffed it in her pocket and took off downstairs, key jingling around on her finger. "I'm leaving! If anyone needs a ride, they'd better book it outside! You all have five minutes!" she shouted through the house. When she was outside, she yelled the same thing to whoever was out there, then made her way over to the van she had bought herself along with a BMW M5. She slipped into the van and turned it on, before making her way back inside.

She smiled at Kimmy as she lifted a napkin and helped wipe off her face. "Alright, honey, it's time to go to preschool," she said, lifting her out of her booster seat. She walked upstairs and set the little girl on the floor of her room, did away with her pajamas and replaced them with a sundress with shorts underneath. She quickly braided her hair, having done this ritual so many times that by the time she was done, she had two minutes to spare. With that down, she led Kimmy downstairs and out the front door, then helped her into the van. She strapped her into her her booster seat then moved to the front of the van, slipped on her sunglasses, and waited for the rest of her siblings to file out and into the car.

Janai

Janai awoke to the sound of Vidia's shouting. She groaned a little, rubbing at her head as a major hangover started to assault her. Her eyes were red from lack of sleep and the drug use from the night before, and when she made her way out of her bed and into her bathroom, she took one look at herself and mutter, "I look like shit."

Making quick work of taming her wild, black and white hair, she pulled on a black tank top, black shorts, black sandals and her black choker. She grabbed her fencing bag and launched from her room, easily taking off down the stairs and tossing back a few pills for her depression and her hangover. She searched through the fridge for a moment before removing a still-warm muffin and some cool orange juice, then took off out the door and tossed her bag into the trunk of the van. She climbed into the van and settled into her normal seat in the back corner, sunglasses in place.

I look up at Elodie "So you think if I got find my mother right now and tell her I am gay she will be okay with that?" I look down at my throbbing hand and bite my lip "Can we take care of this my hand is throbbing and I have to get to dance class soon". I know I shouldn't dance after the fall this morning but I have never missed practice or was every late.

I hear Vidia call "Im glad I have got my own car, because there is no way I would be ready in five minutes." I think about Vidia and really would want to find a time to talk to her, maybe tonight before bed..it was always calmer at night in the house than in the morning and during the day. "Please don't mention this to anyone, I plan on telling Vidia but not anyone else yet...not sure if ill ever tell Mom. She never has time for us anyway."

Diane Young

"Mom? Where are you?"
Cassie's voice echoed throughout the house.
I frowned, not really wanted to see what she wanted, but headed in the direction where her voice had come from anyway... thats what mothers were for, right? To listen to their children... though in my case I suppose it would be to sometimes listen to my children whine and complain, or yell at me for no good reasons.
Mostly I just block them out, if they have something to say that I dont want to hear, then I dont listen. Why should I?
They were ungrateful and had no respect for me! Im their mother! Its hard to believe that they treat me the way they do, even after all i've done for them!
Ungrateful was a perfect word that described them.

"What do you want, Cassie? Im busy." I growled when I finally saw my daughter.
I had to finish decorating! I had to get the maids to take the wine out and set the tables, and I had to get the chef (assuming there is one ..?) to prepare the rest of the meals!
What Cassie has to say better be important, or else im just wasting my time.

Elodie

I didnt answer the first question.
Of course Mrs. Young wouldnt be okay when/if she found out, she'd be a bit more than just angry, I knew that much.

"We need to go back inside the house, i'll get some ice for your hand, and then i'll try and set the fingers, okay?"

I did notice Elodie didn't answer my question about Mom but the silence to the question was an answer in its self. I stand up when Elodie said they should go to the house "Okay sounds good". I limp slowly to the house and go into the kitchen and to the freezer where I take out some ice with my good hand. I really hope no one comes into the kitchen, just want to get this over with so I can leave.

I leap up and sit on the counter and put the ice on my fingers, I let out a small hiss "dang it, that hurts". I look to the door and hope Elodie will be in soon.
