we walked downstairs to meet the boys outside and they opened the door to the twinkie.
"hell to the fuck no." i said as they rolled their eyes
"come on."
"there is no way we are taking that pile of rust to an event this nice."
"sometimes i forget your such a kook." jj said and i rolled my eyes,
We were on the way when i realized cassidy hadn't eaten,
"cass when was the las time you ate?" i asked
"um, i dunno." she said quietly
"well, good thing i brought snacks!" said kiara whipping out a ziplock with chips in it,
"thanks kie but i'm not really hungry." she muttered playing with her fingers
"yes you are." i said
"no. i'm not." she argued
"cass, babe, just eat come on please?" i pleaded
"no." she whispered "i already ate today."
"oh yeah?" i asked "like what?"
"i had an apple and some granola." she said proudly,
"its 8 pm." i deadpanned,
"cassidy, pope is a nerd," kiara started
"hey!" he argued from the backseat "i resent that comment." and kie gave him a look.
"he know's what he's talking about, she should eat right pope?" she asked
"yes. definitely." he said she sighed.
"here, look we'll all have some." jj said they all took some chips including cassie, she ate enough for me to be satisfied.
"thank you babe." i said to her as we pulled in,
we got out of the car and walked in but i stopped the boys before they walked into the white tent that was outside of the hotel.
"hey, we're gonna go up with my dad because we need stand with him for his stupid speech thing okay? see you guys in there." they nodded and we walked in the back,
we walked in to see our dad fixing his tie, cassidy took a slight step back as he glared at us menacingly,
"i got you," i whispered to her, holding her hand as she nodded slowly and we walked forward.
"your late." he muttered, fixing his collar.
"sorry." cassidy mumbled
"whatever. we're going out there in two minutes, don't say a word." he instructed and we nodded.
"let's go you little shits." he said and we walked onto the small stage,
"hello, ladies and gentlemen thank you for coming tonight to join my family in honoring my wife, Evelina burke who passed three year's ago today." he said. the crowd looked melancholy as he continued,
"it has been a hard few year's on me, but more so my two daughter's, Maddison and Cassidy." the crowd shifted their attention to us. and cassidy looked like she was gonna cry, i gripped her had tighter
"Evelina was a great women, who didn't deserve to leave this world as soon as she did..." he continued on with his speech. towards the middle cassidy had started to cry silently, just letting tears pour out of her eyes and down her cheeks, not bothering to wipe them. i had my arm around her and the pogues had pity in there faces.
i still hate it.
pity. even the word makes me wanna hurl.
"thank you all for coming and i hope you enjoy the rest of the party." he said and dragged us off the stage and to the backroom.
"stop crying you bitch." he said to cassie, he wouldn't hit her, because we were in a public place, but he could very much affect her just the same with his words
her sobs didn't subside though. and he got angry, visibly,
"hey, we're uh, we're gonna go out there okay?" i asked
"whatever," he told us. downing a drink before going back out, i looked at him with disgust. before hugging cassidy tightly
"hey, it's okay." i whispered into her hair
"no-no it's not, she's gone madddy-she's gone and she's not coming back." she sobbed as i clutched her head pulling her into my chest and rubbing her back. after holding her for a few minutes, we walked out and were looking for the pogues when i heard a voice that i recognized immediately, we turned around at the mention of our names.
"maddy? cassidy?"
a/n: omg this was so long but it needed to be done lol. theres prolly a lot of typos but idc bc i needed this out tonight. who was the voice? stay tuned
