Tear Down The Stars- Chapter 1
The only remotely entertaining thing at 7am in my house is hearing the twins drive Julia insane. Julia is my Dad's 3rd and youngest wife to date at only 28, she is actually closer to my age than my Dad's. They met when he was on tour and then a few months later she was moved in and was also pregnant...with twins. Anyway that was like 4 years ago and despite her lacking many qualities Julia has become part of my life and my Dad actually seems to adore her, then again I thought the same when he was married to my own Mother (wife 1) and to Kyla's Mom who was wife number 2. Talking of my Mom she is pretty awesome and super talented which means that she is only in L.A a few days a month which means I have to live my Dad, his child wife and the twins while my Mom is off photographing the world. My half sister Kyla doesn't live us as her Mom is actually around so she lives there and I live here. I suppose the term 'living' here is a slight over statement as I am gone whenever I can be whether that means crashing at friends or random people's houses. Let's just say over the past year or so my behaviour and attitude isn't exactly on the top my Dad and Julia's favourite things lists. I don't get why they are freaking out to be fair, I'm just a little bit lax on the whole meeting curfew thing, I do like a bit of a drink every now and again...I suppose I could do better at school and I could maybe not bring so many random girls' home. I know that I'm not daughter of the year but my behaviour has been very much learnt by watching my Dad the rockstar. I guess fucking everything up is in the jeans which is why I won't get to attached to the twins or Julia because sooner or later Raife will fuck up and I will have to watch somebody else leave my life and that just isn't something I can be bothered with.
I finally get down to the kitchen after checking my reflection one last time in the hall mirror and I have to admit that I look pretty good today...who am I kidding I look good every day. My internal musings are interrupted by little hands reaching up towards me. I look down and I'm met by chocolate brown eyes similar to my own and my icy heart melts ever so slightly.
"Hey Taylor you got much in the diary today?" I ask my little brother as I pick him up. He pretends to think and just smiles at me.
"Got play school and new Nanny" Taylor finally tells me not looking too impressed. These kids are very selective about who looks after them which must be something they get from their Mother, high maintenance doesn't even begin to describe that woman.
"Have you met her?" I ask because last time Julia didn't even bother introducing them to the chick last time and didn't end well. As cute as they are they can be monsters when they choose to.
"Yep" A mini brunette butts in. I look over the counter and see Darcy looking up at me. She has my Dad's eyes, they are this incredible shade of blue but the girl has my attitude. I lean down and give her a kiss which she accepts quite happily but when she thinks I'm not looking she wipes her cheek.
"And?" I question with a raised eyebrow.
"She has really shiney hair and eyes like Darcy's" Taylor explains to me with a cute little love struck expression across his face.
"You going to be nice to this one?" I ask him and they both giggle in unison.
"We always nice Ashwee the last one was mean and didn't like playing in the pool" Darcy explains to me with a very serious expression. These two love the water and they are complete naturals when it comes to swimming which is amazing considering they are barely 4 years old. They always beg me to go in the water with them and sometimes I do but recently I just haven't had the time so I really hope this new chick will give in to their sweet pleading. I always mean to spend more time with them but my life gets in the way. You could call me selfish or whatever but I have things to do and it's as simple as that.
"Oh Ashley you're up in time for school?" Julia states as she walks into the kitchen. She is already dressed for work in her perfect pant suit and killer heals. Despite her age and my personal opinion on her intelligence she is actually a successful lawyer which amazes me beyond belief. She took the first 3 years of the twins life off from work but she has decided that they are old enough to go to play school full time now which is why they have the nanny. She asked me to do it but as I said earlier I have too much to do.
"First day and all that crap" I mumbled back as I pour myself a coffee not realising how much I needed it until I tasted it.
"Senior year is important you should try harder this year" Julia points out and I know she is just being friendly but I don't like people getting involved in my life so I just scoff at her in true Ashley Davies style.
"Well the new Nanny will be here with the twins when you get back from school so be nice and please don't try and sleep with her" She says the last bit in hushed tones she the twins don't hear, they ask far too many questions and neither of us have the energy to explain.
"I'll be on my best behaviour" I lie.
"Like you were with the maid?" Julia points out. Damn her lawyer skills and elephant like memory. It was not my fault, the maid was flirty and hot. Who has hot maids anyway? I didn't even know that they existed.
"This girl goes to King you might know her" Julia continues as if I actually care.
"What's her name?" I ask out of semi-politeness.
"Spencer something" Julia replies clearly her elephant memory has let her down this time.
"That's a boys name" I simply reply making the twins giggle as they eat their perfectly prepared fruit. My parents didn't have the time to cut up pineapple or apple for my breakfast even when they were around. Kyla's Mom aka wife number 2 tried to encourage me to eat breakfast for a while until she eventually gave up.
"She's too pretty to be a boy" Taylor whispers to Darcy who just gives him this look as if to say 'behave'.
"Taylor you are far too young to be breaking hearts yet. Right little ones I have to go terrorise my school and I suggest you two do the same thing. Raise hell kids" I always say the same thing to them and Julia always gives me a look like she wants to kill me but deep down she knows that even the twins at their young age know not to listen to a word I say which is why she doesn't say anything.
I exited the house and locate my car in the drive. It has been cleaned and detailed within an inch of it's life. This was an 18th birthday present from my Dad during the summer and I love it. It is a light blue vintage thunderbird and I genuinely have feelings for this car. I start up the engine and head off to my playground.
Ok people what do we think? I'll probably post a few more chapters today so review and let me know whether I should carry on.
