Just an idea I've been playing around with, not sure if it's worth continuing.

"I swear to god Kendall if you have changed your clothes again I will come up there and strangle you with the latest discarded belt. Let's go, you're going to make us late" Blaine yelled up the stairs to his sister as he tapped his foot impatiently. If she wasn't down soon then they were going to be late again and it would be him suffering through the whinging that will come from his other three sisters.

"I'm coming, don't get your boxers in a twist" the seventeen year old sighed as she straightened out her blue cheerleading skirt and descended the stairs "What's wrong with you this morning?" Kendall sneered until she saw her brother holding a stack of files and large envelopes "The yellow ones are always from the lawyers" she sighed

"The white ones are from more colleges Blaine doesn't want to go to" Isabel, the youngest and least prone to hold her tongue spoke up. She'd peered over her brother's shoulder while they waited for Kendall to finally come downstairs and saw letters from Yale, Columbia and Penn all ready to be dropped in the trash on top of letters from UCLA and NYU.

"It's not that he doesn't want to go there" Charlie shrugged and picked up her backpack as Blaine silently held the door open for his sisters. As the eldest of 5 and the only boy, Blaine was used to being talked about like he wasn't even standing there.

Blaine Anderson was meant to be going off to college to become a doctor or an engineer or anything that got him far away from Ohio. He was meant to be at one of the Ivy League colleges that offered him a spot but when both your parents are killed in a light plane crash those aspirations have to be put on hold. Learning of their parents' death the day after his 18th birthday, Blaine was immediately given custody of 17 year old Kendall, 15 year old Charlie, 13 year old Paige and little 11 year old Isabel. He also inherited his father's 8 million dollar fortune which he would use to raise his sisters and make sure they had everything they could possibly need.

Blaine, who was still in high school when the accident happened was thankful he could graduate early with the credits he already had. There was no way he could deal with all the legal issues surrounding his parents' death and get his sister's to and from school. Heading to his father's office after dropping the girls at school, Blaine hoped he was almost to the end of meetings with stuffy old men he'd met once at a function his Dad dragged him to.

"You're not going to pitch in?" Blaine asked Paige as he shut the door behind her and walked toward the car. Shaking her head with a weak smile, the thirteen year old was always on her brother's side. She hadn't spoken much in the six months since their parents died and Blaine never expected her too. Probably closest to their Mom, Paige had taken their death the hardest. Paige commended her brother for taking on the parent role in their family even when their other sister's didn't appreciate what he had given up for them.

"So Charlie and I have cheerleading til 6 tonight" Kendall informed her brother as he got into his car and waited for them all to buckle their seatbelts.

"And Paige has gymnastics til 5 and Isabel doesn't have ballet til tomorrow so I am picking her up from school at normal time. Yes Kendall, I know" Blaine sighed as he started the car and pulled out of the driveway. He had their schedules down to a fine art and even had their morning school run down perfectly. Cursing the fact that they went to three different schools, Blaine still got all four of them to school on time without a problem. He was good at the whole 'Dad' thing now.

"Just checking..."

"And I'm just checking that you finished that History essay you were meant to hand in last week and Charlie did you study for your Math test?"

"How did you...?"

"Because your teachers called me to make sure you were on top of everything. Just 'cause Mom and Dad aren't here doesn't mean A) you can slack off at school and B) that your teachers still won't check up on you. The 'my parents passed away' excuse won't last much longer"

"It's never been an excuse" Charlie spat angrily and crossed her arms across her chest. Even before the accident, Charlie and Blaine had always fought. They were the most different in personality and they clashed a lot.

Blaine pulled up outside Paige's middle school and turned to all four of his sisters "People are going to feel sorry for us probably for the rest of our lives. They'll sigh on graduation days and when we all get married and say Mom and Dad would have been so proud" he began with a sigh "I want them to be proud of what we achieved when the world stopped taking pity on us for losing our parents so young"

"What does it matter? They're not here anymore Blaine" Charlie growled and turned away to look out the window hiding the tears running down her cheek.

"It matters because I like to believe that their memory is still alive and that they're watching down on us. I just don't want you guys to think that life is gonna get handed to you on a silver pity platter. We will never forget Mom and Dad but other people will"

"And they'll forget what we lost" Kendall sighed and took her brother's hand gently

"You guys have your whole lives ahead of you and I want you to know that everything and anything is possible" he smiled

"You have the world in front of you too Blaine. Don't you have like 6 colleges wanting you?"

"Let's just focus on getting you four through high school first"

"That's not fair though" Paige sighed. Everyone in the car looked at the thirteen year old a little surprised that she'd spoken "Isabel won't finish high school for another 7 years. That's a long time Blaine"

"If you all do your homework and study then maybe we'll get there a little quicker" Blaine laughed trying to lighten the mood a little. As much as they annoyed him sometimes, Blaine did love his sisters more than anything. He would have only ever given up his college dreams to make sure they got theirs. Those girls were what mattered in his life now and he was ok with that. "I do believe this is your stop Paige, have a good day and I will pick you up after ballet tonight ok?"

"See you tonight. Love you, B" she smiled and leant over kissing his cheek softly before getting out of the car.

"Isabel next?"

Is it good enough to continue?
