plane crash when he was little. After the
accident my dad brought Colton to live with us and later adopted
him. I didn’t mind. Colton and I got along great and he was more
like a brother to me than my own stuck up half-brother. He was also
the only one who could keep the peace between my dad and
me.
    “ Is CiCi going to be
there?” Greyson asked, wiggling his brows.
    “ Fuck off,” Colton and I
said at the same time making Greyson laugh. Greyson knew how to
push our buttons and loved to get under our skin, but when it came
down to it , he
was an awesome friend. He knew sisters were off limits but he still
loved to be a prick. I threw an empty water bottle at
him.
    “ Tell her I said hi and
looking forward to the next time she comes to one of our shows.” I
narrowed my eyes at him and closed the door leaving him laughing to
himself. When I sat down on the smooth leather of my restored
mustang, my hair fell forward into my eyes, and I knew now the
first thing on my list was to get a haircut.
    Two hours later and we were heading to my
dad’s for Sunday funday as Colton liked to call it. He always
placed a bet to see how long it would take my dad and me to get
into an argument. I only usually lasted an hour, but I was going to
try my hardest to make it through the whole dinner before I stormed
out.
    We were greeted at the door by Charles, my
dad’s butler. “What’s up Charles,” I smiled, patting his arm.
    “ Good evening Mr. Casper
and Mr. Colton. Your father and mother are in the living
room.”
    “ Stepmother,” I corrected.
Charles gave me a sympathetic smile and gestured for us to join the
rest of the family.
    Before we even rounded the corner I was
attacked by a tiny fairy. “Casper!” she shrieked, gripping her
small arms around my legs.
    I untangled her hands and bent down to meet
her at eye level. “Katalina, how is my favorite fairy
princess?”
    “ Look at my wings, they’re
purple.” She turned so I could see the bright sparkly wings she had
strapped onto her back. Glitter covered the back of her white
sundress and long blonde hair.
    “ I love them,” I
smiled.
    I stood up to greet the rest of my family.
“Wait!” Katalina yelled. She took her sparkly wand and waved it
over us. “Now you may enter.”
    “ Why thank you your
majesty.” Colton and I did a small bow before we followed her into
the living room. My father was sitting in his chair while Dallas,
the atrocious blonde bimbo he called my stepmother refilled his
drink. She was younger than my sister who was
thirty , and she
was his third wife. I don’t blame the first two for leaving. He was
a son of a bitch and cared more about money and appearance than he
did anything else.
    When he saw me approach his eyes gave a
disapproving look. I bit my tongue. I just had to make it through
dinner. Two hours and I was free. “Casper, it’s nice to see,”
Dallas greeted, giving me a kiss on the cheek. I fought the urge to
pull away. “Colton, good to see you as well.”
    “ And you as well Mrs.
Covington.”
    “ How many times have I
told you, you can call me Dallas?”
    “ My apologies,
Dallas.”
    My dad finally stood up
and walked over to us. “Colton, glad you could come.” He embraced
him in a friendly hug and when he pulled back he gave me a slight
nod before he walked away. Two
hours , I repeated
to myself. “Dinner should be ready if you would like to follow,”
Dallas gestured with the wave of her hand like she was on some game
show. I stifled a groan and followed Colton in to the dining
room.
    “ Casper, watch, I can
fly!” Katalina yelled. She was standing on the arm of the couch
with her arms out at her side.
    I heard a scream as she
leaped from the couch. I dove and caught her midflight. My sister
Candice came rushing over from the stairs and ripped her from me,
putting her down on the ground. “Katalina, how many times have I
told you that you cannot fly? You just
cannot. It is not possible.”
    “ But Tinkerbelle
