i woke up to empty sheets next to me. with a note 

"morning angel, sorry i had to go home but can i see you at the chateau today at 12? -JJ"

i suppose thats for the better though, who knows what would happen if my dad found a boy in my bed. 

"cassie?" i asked

"yeah?" she replied from the pullout

"are you okay?" 

"i-i think so?" she offered, i got up and walked over taking in her appearance. she had a bruise that just about covered her eye and a small cut on her eyebrow

"i'm so sorry babe." i told her

"don't be maddy, its okay i'm fine." she said with a smile, that's what i admired the most about my sister, she could always "get back up on the horse" as sarah would say. 

after every beating, every fight, every scream-fest, she would always wake up the next day like nothing happened and walk around with a smile on her face.
me on the other hand,
 i mean i would pretend i was okay, i would fake smile, i would act like i'm having a good time, whereas her smiles were real and her happiness was genuine. then again, i did get the short end of the stick when it came to our dad. he had maybe a tiny soft spot for Cassie, i mean just because she was younger, i guess he didn't fuck her up as bad as he did me, but i always tried to protect her. 

"yeah?" 

"yeah." she told me i nodded

"well i think i'm gonna hang out with the pogues today you wanna come?" i asked her

"really?" she asked 

"uh huh. but you better be good." i said she nodded frantically

"yes thank you!!" she exclaimed i giggled i picked out my outfit, i chose some denim short-short's and a flower print top that was long enough to cover my bruise and high enough to cover the scar on my chest, the bruises on my arm's had healed so i didn't need a sweater or long sleeve. i got a bikini for underneath even though i know i wouldn't be swimming, and white Birkenstock's

"should i wear a bathing suit?" asked cassie

"um, are you gonna swim?" i asked she nodded "then yeah sure."

she proceeded to put on a blue one-pice with black jean shorts and a purple loose t-shirt that said nirvana on it with white converse.

"oh and cass?" i asked "if they ask about.." i gestured to her face

"oh don't worry i've got a whole story." she told me i smiled, she always found a way to make something funny out of any bad experience. i walked out of my door first to look for dad, seeing him passed out on the couch, i motioned for her to follow me, we snuck out quickly and got into my car stopping on the way to the chateau to grab some drinks for everyone.
