SOULS INTERTWINED

Chapter-16

Cassandra's POV

My heart felt very light after telling Wiliam regarding my past, and I was scared he would judge and think very ill of me. Still, he did the unexpected, and he kissed me. I felt the warmth in it, and it was as if he was trying to remove the pain from me; being honest, I liked the kiss. I was kind of sad when he left after the kiss, and I saw the guilt in his eyes. Why was he feeling guilty when I kissed him back? Is it because he kissed me in the spur of the moment, and it was not his intention. By the time I composed myself and went out, I saw Williams staff take out his stuff which means he is leaving. Is he leaving because of the Kiss? I hope not. I go to talk to him

Cassandra: "leaving wonderboy?."

William: "yes, Cassandra, I got to go back to my regular schedule." he said, looking at the floor

He did not call me princess, and it feels terrible, I want us to be like the way we were before, but I think now things have changed. I am sure he misunderstood me after listening to my story, and he probably feels I'm the one who is at fault like everyone else thinks. I thought William was different, and that is why I told him about my sad past, and after I opened up to him, he reacted like all the other people except for my best friends and Arthur. I think it's my fault; I probably was the girl who got more than what she deserved.

William: "bye Cassandra", he waved sadly

Cassandra: "bye, William."

He was walking away without even looking back, and his behaviour hurt me; tears started to form in my eyes. Suddenly he turned around and began to walk towards me, and I thought he was coming back to apologise to me, but he walked past me to get his phone which he had forgotten on the table. After taking his phone, he left without evening looking at me. I took care of him for these many days, and he did not even care to thank me or bid me a farewell before he left. I probably am just nothing to him; I probably won't even make it to his friend's list, and like every other man, I had started to as he left me, but one good thing was it happened soon rather than later. Probably I'm the only one who thinks I'm not at fault for both Ethan and Carter leaving me, and from Williams behaviour, I confirmed it.

As soon as William left, Charlotte came to visit William and me. She hugged me as soon as she came in, and I tried to hide my sadness with a huge smile plastered on my face. She went inside the guest room and came out immediately, asking

Charlotte: "betty, where is Ed?" she asked, confused

Cassandra: "he left char," I said sadly

Charlotte: "Oh, he must have completely healed then."

Cassandra: "yes, I think he did."

Charlotte: "betty, why are you so sad? Is it because Ed left?"

Cassandra: "Kind of, but not the only reason, leave about me; how is Charles?"

Charlotte: "he is fine, betty but tell me what happened"

I could feel tears start to form in my eyes, so I turned around and began to walk to the kitchen before Charlotte could notice them

Charlotte: "Betty, where are you going?"

Cassandra: "to get some water, do you want some too"

I saw Charlotte follow me back to the kitchen, and my tears were becoming uncontrollable. Suddenly she flipped me around and saw the tears in my eyes

Charlotte: "Betty, why are you crying?"

I could not answer, and the tears started to flow now and to look at my position Charlotte hugged me tightly and tried to comfort me.

Charlotte: "tell me, Betty, why are you crying? Did something happen between you and Ed"
