I Fell In Love With My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter ~ 5

I sit up a yawn, the clock says 6:30. I groan and get up heading to the bathroom. I turn on the faucet and cup my hands then splash the water on my face.

I brush my teeth, and do my make up. I grab a high waisted skirt that have strips, and a white shirt.

My hair flows over my shoulders a little curl to them. I grab my bag and grab a pop tart off the counter and shove it in my mouth.

"Someone's trying today," Sam leans against the door frame.
"Trust me, if wanted to where sweat pants I would," I cover my mouth.

Mason walks into the kitchen and starts digging in the fridge.
"You're taking me to school right?" I look back at Sam. He frowns
"Sorry kiddo I got tennis practice this morning," he pats my shoulder. I slump my shoulders and groan.

"If you don't mind I'll take you," Mason shoves a spoon full of yogurt in his mouth.

"Doesn't seem like I have much of a choice," I start to the front door. "I'll be waiting in the car," I sit down in his passenger seat, and glance around the clean car.

The car smells like his cologne, witch is amazing smelling.

To far Cas. I tell myself.

"What's with your nose sniffing like a dog?" Mason sits down in the driver seat and ignites the car.

I let out a grin to embarrassed to say why.

"Oh when you walked out the door your mom came in saying we're having a big family dinner with your grandparents and everything," he doesn't take his eyes of the road.

"Really," I moan
"Yeah,"
He Stops in front of the school
"Good luck cutie," he says out the window and drives away.

I walk into first period and all eyes shift to me I clutch my books harder.

"You must be Cassie Willer," the teacher says. I give a nod.
"Your desk is right over there by Cody Srawm," she pauses. "Cody raise your hand please," a dirty blonde hair, bright baby blue eyes raises his hand.
"My name is Mrs. Combal if you need anything," I walk over to my desk, placing my books down.
A couple of glances came my way.

"You're Cassie?" Cody asks writing down something on his paper.

"Uh, yeah," I say flicking my pencil on the table.

"Where you the chick who knocked Shawn to his ass?" He looks up at me showing his perfect face.
I give nod, he smiles and continues with his work.

"Didn't you leave to go someplace with your grand parents?"

"Do you know how to not stop asking questions?"

"Whoa feisty okay," he holds his hands up.
I give a small smile.
"Oh my gosh?"

"What?

"She smiles."

"Oh my gosh."

He laughs. "What?"

"You have a cocky ego," I crack a wider smile.
He nods his head.
"You're not to bad Willer," he points his pencil at me and smiles.
The bell rings and we walk out together.

"Do you want me to take you home?" Cody says walking out the school doors.

"I would," I sigh. "But my brothers friend is picking me up."

"Oh," he shrugs his shoulders and sits down on a bench.
"What are your hobbies?"
I give him a weird look.

"What do you like to do?" He rolls his eyes.
"I like to dance," I bluntly say.
"That's cool are you JV or Varsity?"

"Varsity."

"So you're good?"

"Yeah, I guess you could say,"

He gives me a boyish smile and a guy waves to him.

"I have to run, maybe you could show me sometime," he swings his back pack over his shoulder and jogs to a car.

I sit on the bench for about 30 minutes when Mason decides to show up. I slam my body in the chair.

"Sorry," he says. "I was kinda busy," his hair was a mess and he had a hickey on his neck.

"Apparently," I rest my head on the window. "Why do you do that?" I ask. He raises his eyebrow.
"Why do you sleep with a girl every day," he grins.
"Correction," he points up to the air. "Every other day," I slap his arm.

"I'm not in the mode for the ego Bartley," I glare at him. "Now answer my damn question."

He frowns. "I don't know, makes me feel better about myself I guess."

"You shouldn't need that to make you happy."

"How so?"

"Not everything is about sex Mason."

"For me it is."

"How so?"

He smirks. "I wasn't treated good when I was a kid, I didn't have the super vision that I needed. So, I got to do what ever I wanted. I thought it was pretty cool when I was 13 but when my mom stopped paying attention to me after her and my dad divorced. I simply became a delinquent, I got into trouble every chance I got. And hell, I was so free to do what every I wanted. I had sex when I was fourteen. Most likely the worst thing I've ever done, I didn't know better, my mom didn't care, she let me have girls over all the time. She said it was fine for me to be doing what I was doing.
But now I noticed it wasn't I wrecked my life," he shacked his head, letting a tear fall off his face.

I look out the window and noticed we've been in the drive way for a while. I let out a long sigh and look at Mason he has his head leaned back on the seat.

"Mason?" I ask he looks at me.
"Do you know why I was in Missouri?"
"I thought you were in New Jersey?"

I give my head a slow shake.

"About a year ago," I shake my head. Masons eyes were full with sorrow, like someone had killed a puppy.

"I wasn't happy with what I looked like and I stopped eating," he looks down at his shoes.

"I would say I was going to eat at school or I'm going to go get something to eat. But, I never eat anything. I would make myself throw up, that's how much I hated my body.
Then one night we had a family dinner, and there was a lot of food on my plate and I didn't touch any of it. My mom asked me if I was feeling okay and I had this really dizzy feeling and I passed out in front of my mom, Sam, my grandparents. They rushed me to a hospital and they told my mom I was Anorexic. Then she shipped me off to rehab for 6 months.
I got the help that I needed it was a struggle, but I pushed forth and made it out." Tears stated streaming down my cheeks, and Mason swings his arms around me, holding me to his chest.

We say there for a long time and I pull away.

"How many people know?" I ask him.
"Just you," he runs his hands through his hair.
"Why would you trust me?"

"Why wouldn't I?" He smirks and gets out of the car.

"Thanks for the ride," I shut my door.

"Anytime little cutie."
