Not Always Downhi l l
Chapter 1
I flattened out my ruffled black tank top. As I was drinking my water someone started talking on the intercom.
"Hello this is your pilot speaking and we will land in Colorado shortly."
It was still all a blur to me. Only a day ago was I happily watching Disney movies while snuggling on the couch with my parents, in our mansion that was in New York. But now...I was sitting in an uncomfortable seat on an airplane next to Claire who claims to be my mother's highschool best friend who is now my legal guardian. Let me fill you in on the details. Just seven hours ago I was noticed that my mom a model/actress and my dad director/photographer died in a plane crash. What makes matters worse is that soon it was going to be my 18th birthday and we always spent time together as a family on birthdays. Now the only thing I have of them is the necklace my parents gave me when I was born. It was a heart shaped locket and inside was a picture of the three of us and on the other side has some writing that said We Will Always Be In Your Heart. That necklace was now my everything.
As the plane started shaking, cause it was landing soon, I spilled some water on my white shorts. I sighed and Claire tried to help me wipe it off.
"It's fine Claire, thanks for the help though."
"No problem sweety and I should let you know something um..when we get to my hou- I mean our house it might be a little wild."
"What do you mean?"
"Well um I have a husband, three horses, two dogs, a cat, and a-"
"It's okay Claire I love animals!"
"Oh..the animals aren't the things I'm worried about it's just I have seven children also...and they are all boys.."
"Oh..well like I said I'm an animal person..after what happened today..not so sure about the people person."
"I understand Nikki."
I just gave heart a heartless, fake smile. But really SEVEN CHILDREN AND ALL BOYS!! Living in Colorado is definitely not going to be easy. It was hard enough when I didn't have any siblings at all but now the siblings I get are all boys, great! I hope you heard the sarcasm there.
As the plane shook more the sign to put on our seatbelts lit up. I sighed, seatbelts were always a bother to me. In a few minute we landed. When we boarded off the plane I didn't really think Colorado would be all that. But boy was I wrong. Once I was outside I just fell in love with the view.
