Chpater 16

I'm sorry about that last chapter, a lot happened all at once so in this one I'll just try to break it down a bit, let it go a little slower.

Carlee's POV

We just couldn't tell her the truth.

We just couldn't tell Cassie that we were just moving for no apparent reason.

We just couldn't.

I ran it through my mind as Mitch and I slowly packed our things.

We just couldn't tell her that we were going to college together.

We just couldn't tell her that we were moving in together.

We are terrible friends because we just can't tell her.

I stood up straight, facing Mitch.

"We have to tell her." I told him sternly.

"She is already hurting badly, I don't want to make it worse. Do you?" He asked as he carried on packing, but slower this time.

"No, but she's our best friend. We can't just leave her by herself believing that her they didn't just leave."

"Fine you tell her, but you'll only make it worse."

That's when I bursted.

"Mitchell, you don't know what's it's like to get left and lied to all your life, do you?"

"What do you mean?" Mitch asked, sitting down and smirking like it was some kind of joke.

"Cassie's mother was shot by her drunk father, taking himself out in the process." His expression instantly dropped.

"All her life up until she was 13 she was lied to about her parents. She believed her parents were killed in a car wreck until someone finally had the guts to tell her. She moved through six different foster homes until she had saved enough to leave behind the horrid life she was living. You never saw her parents, not once."

I took a deep breath.

"Cassie doesn't deserve to get left and lied at anymore, especially the hell we've put her through as friends. First it was Jerome, now us. So tell me now Mitchell, what is she going to do when everyone is gone?"

Cassie's POV

The line went dead.

I backtracked to my bed slowly. I sat down, afraid to turn on my phone again. In an instant I had chucked it at the wall.

Who was that man and what did he want?

All I knew is that he knows I'll be alone, and he's taking advantage of it.
