I saw it, in that moment I knew. My life was over.

"KATARINA GET THE KNIFE NOW!" Kylo roared, holding down the man who knew too much. This was different than the last two. This man knew who the real Kylo and Katarina were, and Kylo didn't like that.

I moved to the duffle and got out the switch blade. "I'm gonna make this go nice and quick" He hummed to the man. The man stared up at him and as he stared over at me Kylo cut into him. Blood pooling onto the floor.

"Kylo, wait -" I huffed, but it was too late. I saw that man's life leave his eyes....

-----------------------

Coming back to current time I look at the steam and water around me in the shower. "Shit, I did it again!" I huffed.

I quickly shut the water off and wrapped a towel around myself and looked at my clock. I had an hour until John was going to pick me up. I walked into my closet and looked for the perfect dress for tonight.

It was navy and hand lace sleeves. I wanted to go for something that wasn't expected. I always wore black or red. I was going for seething that if Kylo was watching, he'd know I was a changed woman. I placed some makeup on, got my navy pumps and went to the kitchen for some water.

I hear a knock on my door and I look out the peephole and see John.

I open the door, he looks me up and down. "Hello There, Beautiful" He grinned. I smiled and welcomed him in while I grabbed a few things. He saw my place was a bit of a wreck. "Something happen here?" He asked. I didn't wanna tell him, but how do I explain it. I almost forgot it even happened...

"Oh, uh, just a minor thing. No worries" I randomly tossed the words outta my mouth. "Cassandra" He stated looking at me. My face went red, and he knew. "What happened, as a concerned friend" He said.

I sighed. "Someone broke in and wrecked the place, they didn't take anything, I think it was just a mistake" I said honestly. He shook his head. "Why didn't you call me?" He asked. "Oh well, I don't wanna be a bother" I said simply with a small sigh.

John shook his head and pinched the bridge in his nose. "I want you safe, Cassandra." He stated then walked over and wrapped his arms around me. "Thank you" I stated feeling his warmth engulf me into an embrace.

"Let's go get some drinks and some food huh?" He asked. "I'll fix your security problem tomorrow." He added. I nodded, and we walked out to his car.

---------------------------------

I was walking down the sidewalk when I heard a honk. I turned over to see Ben in his Camaro. "Hey! I thought we were meeting today?" He yelled through the rolled down window. "I uh, I'm not feeling well." I replied and stopped walking and waked to his window of the car. "Get in huh? I have a nice surprise! you are gonna love it" He smiled.

Damn that smile, it got me every time. Just when I thought I was done, I get roped back in.

"Fine" I sighed and hopped into his car. "Where too?" I asked. He smiled, it's an hour away, so we need to make some road quick" He smiled.

I looked him with a questioning look, it was a Friday and an hour away. Where could he possibly be taking me.

We drive for about 45 minutes, and then I see the sign... The sign I always wanted to see.

Welcome to Ocean City, MD

"WHAT?!? We are at the beach!!" I screeched.

Ben got a big smile on his face and looked over at me briefly. "Yup. We are spending the weekend" He smiled. I sat in shock. We lived in a small town in Delaware, with many small towns surrounding and the two "city" places are either Rehoboth Beach, or Ocean City. I remember telling him a few weeks ago I wanted to go someday.
