What's Left of Me
Chapter 1
There was nothing Quinn loved more than being rich. Even being the captain of the cheerleading team didn't compare to it. When she walked the halls everyone knew who she was and she enjoyed every moment of it. She never wanted her popularity to dwindle. Unfortunately fate had other plans for Quinn. She just didn't know it yet.
After cheerleading practice Quinn pulled up to her house and shut off her beautiful car. She didn't know what she would do without it. She got out of the car and went into her house where everyone was in the living room. This wasn't a good sign. Her family almost never was here during the day time.
"What's going on here?" she said taking a seat by her brother.
Her parents looked at each other as her mother nodded and cleared her throat. This had to be big if her mother was taking the reins.
"Kids, we have some devastating news. It turns out your father's boss has been invezling money from offshore bank accounts and the government is shuting the company down."
Quinn sat up suddenly very interested. This couldn't be good. Not one bit.
"So what does this mean for us?" her sister Frannie asked.
"It means that your father no longer has a job and we're going to have to pinch a little pennies here and there in order to stay in this house while your father looks for another job."
Quinn nodded. After all this couldn't go on forever. Could it? She didn't know what her life would be like if she didn't have the money to keep doing things. After all being in various school activities wasn't cheap. And what would her friends think if she was suddenly poor. Would she still be accepted or thrown out like last mondays lunch meat. She couldn't let that happen. Everything would be okay. She just had to keep her faith in check and everything would turn out just fine.
