Pairing(s): None
Warning(s): None
Summary: There's nothing quite like having a sister. | Written for the dvlwears_prada community ABC challenge prompt of 'Gravity'.
Gravity. It's a law of nature, an invisible force constantly pulling things toward the earth. Things like cups filled with hot coffee that are tipped too far in any one direction, and cell phones thrown into fountains, and sixteen-year-old girls trying to sneak out of the second story window of a New York City townhouse via a knotted bedsheet.
Cassidy had told her sister it was a stupid idea from the start-nothing was ever as easy in real life as it was on TV. She refrained from reminding her of that due to how very angry their mother looked, and how quickly the ambulance arrived, and the horrifying way that Caroline's arm seemed to suddenly have two elbows. Caroline, who was focusing most of her attention on not moving her upper body at all and struggling not to sob too loudly, probably wouldn't have appreciated the comment anyway.
Still, when they all finally got home from the hospital after many hours of listening to their mother berate the nursing staff and threaten the careers of three doctors, Cassidy got a certain amount of satisfaction out of writing, "Told you so!" on her sister's cast.
