Too Hard to Breathe

A/N: Hi! I'm new to the writing scene, so this is my first story. You may find it pretty different from others, but I honestly don't care what you think. I don't like reading flames so if you hate my story, keep your comments to yourself. This chapter is just an introduction through a new character's POV. I will continue adding chapters as I get new reviews.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from the TV show Lizzie McGuire. I do own the plot and all the characters that have never appeared on the show.

Prologue

Aubrey's POV

Hi. My name's Aubrey. You're thinking, who's Aubrey? Well, I am one of the daughters of Elizabeth and Danny Kessler.

Yes, I have siblings. Many. All female. I am the second oldest of ten girls. My parents are both 31 years old. How, may I ask, did my parents end up having ten children by 31?

Well, as my mother puts it, she and my dad were totally head over heels in love at age 15, and yes, they crossed the line a little. There actually wasn't really a line, since they loved each other so much, so they kind of crossed the invisible line. (My mother's words, not mine.)

So, in about January of 2004, my mother found out she was pregnant with my older sister, Jeana. So they got married, but a year later they couldn't control themselves and they wound up with me.

My grandparents are really rich and stuff, and yes, they were pissed at my dad for screwing my mom over, but somehow they forgave him and let them live in their house until they were about 23. But my grandparents got very, very, very angry when my mother got pregnant again at age seventeen with the first set of twins in my family, Peyton and Emma.

Since my grandparents were so rich and that my dad was so spoiled that we were all in good care (you know....with all the child support and medical stuff). My parents didn't even go to college, for Pete's sake, but, as both my parents say, they don't want us messing up as much as they did, so we are all going to college. Except Mika. But we'll get to that in a minute.

Anyway, at age nineteen....do I even have to say it? You can see it coming by now, right? My sister Reese was born and my parents were so overjoyed about their little family that it didn't even seem that they were only nineteen and had been kicked out of school and....you know what I'm talking about, so I'm not going to waste my time talking about it.

My parents wanted to stop right there, so they did. Well, for a year at least. In 2009, Mallorie was born. Ugh. It's not that I hate Mallorie or anything. But can't my parents develop at least ONE male child??? Geez. Emma says we all might end up lesbians when we're older, and it'll be all Mom and Dad's fault.

So there were we, two 20-year-olds and five little girls living in a small loft (We had moved out of the Kessler household before Mom had the twins). It was quite strange, really, and I vaguely remember my mom getting all teary as she went through old photographs of her two best friends from middle school, Michelle and Garry.

No, wait. Their names were Marina and Gregory.

No, no, no, I have this totally screwed up. The girl's name was Miranda and the guy's nickname was Gordo, but his real name was David something.

That's it. My mom told me a few years ago that she and Gordo had a little thing going on, but then Danny showed up and they both went gaga for each other.

Okay, let's keep going. When my parents were 21, Cassie was born. By then the loft was getting crowded, so, as my parents decided, if they get "lucky" again, we would buy a small house (with the money of my father's parents, of course).

And lucky they were. On October 11th, 2011, at 3:45PM, IN THE LOFT, (it's a long story), the second and final (hopefully final) set of twins were born. Mika, who is three minutes older, and Bailie. My parents chose to take a real break from baby making, and fortunatly, it worked, but eight (yes, I can hardly believe it myself) years later, Sheryl Marie Kessler was born. The last (at least that's what's planned) member of the Kessler family.

Yes, I know, I keep going on and on, but this has got to be told, so you know everything that's going on.

I'm going to the next level: describing my whole family, from top to bottom.

My father, Daniel (or Danny, as he prefers to be called) Kessler, is five months older than my mother. He's tall, with sandy blonde hair. He is very attractive, if I do say so myself. He works at some place a few cities away, where he is a store manager. It's kind of embarrassing. The store is some huge department store, so....never mind. He's a pretty cool dad. He lets us go to the mall and do whatever we want. Except the younger ones, who sit around and watch kiddie TV all day. All the older ones (Reese and up) have a strict curfew and have to do an equal share of chores.

My mother, Elizabeth Kessler (her maiden name is McGuire in case you were wondering) is taller with short blonde hair. She's very pretty, I have to say that. She's super nice, she buys us anything, lets us eat junk food (as long as we eat healthy meals and exercise daily), takes us to the movies, and never embarrasses us. She says her mother embarrassed her nearly every day and she vowed to herself that she would never treat her children like that. My mom works part-time at a drugstore and takes those online classes at home. She can also be really strict, too, and makes us do chores for her.

My older sister, Jeana Miranda Kessler, is currently sixteen years old. She is so pretty, with curly blonde hair and blue eyes. She gives us lots of advice about everything, like makeup and high school and boys....she's so great.

Next comes Peyton and Emma. They're both fifteen, the first set of twins, and completely different from each other. Peyton has long shiny blond hair and brown eyes. She's into fashion and boys, but I've caught her playing floor hockey in the basement while no one else was home. She only wears pinks, purples, and some shades of blue and yellow. She's nice too, and helps out a lot around the house. As for Emma, she's into sports. All of them. She's very athletic. She especially loves soccor, hockey, and volleyball. She's a bit shorter than Peyton, and has blue eyes and mid-length brown hair (wonder where she got that from?).

Reese is the next in the bunch. She's twelve, and is Emma and Peyton mixed together. She likes sports as much as Emma does, but is still worried about the way she looks. She also likes boys, and has a huge love for animals. She's nearly as tall as me, has brown hair and freckles, brown eyes, and is a vegetarian. I think she's great, too, because she says she looks up to me.

Mallorie is eleven. She has blond hair and green eyes and is a bit on the chunky side. She has a great smile, but if she would just quit stuffing her face with chocolate behind Mom's back every day, she have much more luck with boys when she's older. She hates sports and fashion but she loves school, her friends, the cinema, junk food, and Jeana. It's all about Jeana in Mallorie's mind.

Cassie is the second closest to me (first place is Jeana) even though she's only ten. She's super friendly and loves to write. She's also a good singer, but I'm the only one who knows that. She has short blond hair and blue eyes.

I'm getting tired out here, so I'm going to tell you about the terrible two as fast as possible. Mika and Bailie the second set of twins, as I said before. Mika is older, has long blonde hair and brown eyes, and is very sneaky. She and Bailie try to steal everyone's money and sneak out of bed after lights out to watch silent TV. Bailie is sneakier than Mika. She has blond hair and brown eyes too, and she is identical to Mika. She thinks of the best pranks and whines a lot. They are currently nine years old.

Last but least is Sheryl. She's one year old, so I don't know much about her except that she has very short curly blond hair and greenish-blue eyes. She cries a lot and tries to bite things. On her bad days she's as cute a button. And I don't think buttons are cute at all. On her good days she's cuter than a little kitten. Kittens are very, very cute.

Oh, yeah...I forgot to tell you about me. My name is Aubrey Elizabeth Kessler. I'm fifteen years old and long wavy blond hair and blue eyes, like Jeana. I love my boyfriend Tyler, singing, biking, swimming, and way too much to mention. I think that I'm nice...but I don't like judging myself because I'll sound like Carla Jacobs, who is a huge bitch that no one would ever want to be like.

Well, that's my life. I guess it's okay, if you count the whole teen parents thing out. I'll be back later to show you a day in the life of Aubrey Kessler. 'Til then, see ya.
