Its Casandra's first day back. In her room preparing the chalk board. Tom's first class started at 8 and her first one starts at 10. Successfully dropped Evelynn off at her sister's but not without a couple tears as she drove away. Dressed in a dark green with a cream colored satin button up shirt under her womans suit. Her curls thrown up into a high pony tail. She gets done and dusts her hands off and passes out a panthlet with todays discussion. Students begin to arrive. A young man comes in with a schedule. Hes new. Light brown hair big bright blue eyes and comes up behind her and she bumps into him and yelps.
"Oh god! I am so sorry, new?" She asks.
"Yes, Roman Godfrey." He says with a mischievous smile. Casandra ignores it.
"Okay, well youre in the right literature class.....okay. Well have a seat where ever." She says as she hands him his schedule back and he takes a step back. Cassndra thrown off by his closeness and staggering height difference. Casandra continues to sit the panthlets down. More students arriving.
"Good morning everyone!" Casandra says with a smile.
"Morning Mrs Hiddleston! How is the baby?" A woman her age asks.
"She is great, first day away....already missing her." Casandra says with a light chuckle.
"I remember how it was with my first...going back to work was hard." She says.
"It is but my sister has her and shes in great hands...i just need to get use to our new schedule." Casandra says as she walks back up to the front of the classroom. Little does she know, the new student, Mister godfrey, was checking her out hard.
"You have a baby?" Roman asks.
"I do." Casandra says smiling.
"You look really good...doesnt look like you did." He says staring directly in her eyes. Into her soul almost.
"Thank you Mister Godfrey, now...lets get dive into todays discussion....Norse Mythology literature." She says as she leans back on her desk.
"Who here can tell me anything about it?" She asks. This sparks up a whole debate with the Avengers movies and theyre depiction of Thor and Loki's relationship and how Hela is actually Loki's daughter.
"You guys know your stuff." Casandra says laughing.
"Eh, helps the people who play these characters are hot." Brenda, the woman who is Casandra's age.
"Well that can help ones interest." Casandra says laughing.
"Whos your favorite from the avengers?" Brenda asks.
"Uh..." Casandra says thinking.
"Youre husband kind of looks like Loki so im thinking Loki." Brenda says with a smirk.
"Youre married?" Roman asks.
"Yep, his classroom is across the way." Casandra says clearing her throat. Feeling a certain uncomfortable feeling. Roman glides his tongues across his teeth almost in disappointment.
"Well, unfortunately that is all we have today. Our 2 hours spent discussing the avengers." Casandra says laughing as everyone gets up. Roman slowly gets his stuff together. Casandra focused on her phone. Texting her sister to see how Evelynn is doing. She looks up and Roman is right there.
"Yes Mister Godfrey?" She asks stiffening up.
"Do you love your husband?" He asks.
"Yes, inappropriate question but yes." She says crossing her arms.
"Hmm...okay..." he says giving a slight smile and a wink. Tom walks in.
"Mrs Hiddleston?" Tom says staying in professional mode.
"Yes, Mister Hiddleston?" She says shooting him a sweet smile.
"Great class today Mrs.Hiddleston." Roman says tapping the desk and walking away.
"Thank you roman, see you tomorrow." She says sighing. Ran chuckles and walks past Tom. Hes a little taller than Tom and smirks at Tom.
"New student?" He asks.
"Yeah." She says rolling her eyes. What she felt was weird. A strange pull to this man. His demeanor so cocky and his mischievous smirk. Casandra shook off the encounter and focused on her amazing husband. Tom closed the door behind his self and came over to her. Wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.
**WARNING:GRAPHIC**
A month goes by of her being back in class. Today shes decided since its friday to let them discuss freely whatever literature they want and have a chill day. Her long black curls draped down her back. Wearing black skinny slacks and a pair of black heels with a satin grey short sleeve button up shirt. Per usual Roman is first in class. Suddenly police come into the class room.
"Ma'm theres an active shooter. Lock this door and dont leave." One says as they all are armed. Panic hits her. Suddenly thinking of Tom. She peaks over and sees his rooms door closed. Presumably locked. Casandra nods and begins to shake. She runs up and locks the door.
"Fuck, fuck, FUCK!" she says as she feels her temperature rise and her body shake even more. She tries to keep herself calm. Suddenly theres shots in the hallway. She turns towards the door and a bullet comes through. Roman knocks her down as shes almost hit by it. They're spraying bullets into each room. Suddenly they hear a door be kicked down. She hears Tom.
"Please, stop. We have no weapons...please leave us." She hears Tom say. Suddenly as quickly as his sentenced ended, guns go off. Screaming errupts and Roman puts his hand over her mouth as she cries and almost screams. More guns go off and zhe hears the police. It seems theyve got the shooter. Casandra jolts up and runs to the door. Opening it. She looks across and sees Tom laying on the ground. Bullet wounds in his chest. Casandra runs over and pushes anyone and everyone out of the way. Dropping to her knees and pulling Tom into her lap. Hes still breathing. Barely.
"Tom...im here...im here...please....please be okay." She says cry8ng uncontrollably. Toms shakey hand reaching up to her face. Her world shattering right in front of her.
"I love you...." Tom says as he chokes on his blood. His eyes flutter and then they close. Tears com8ng down hard. His chest stops rising and falling. EMTS coming to them. Casandra moves. Watching them try to being him back. They try and try. Nothing. Bringing her knees to her chest and completely breaking down. Chance comes in and sees the scene. The police already gone with the suspect. Sarah comes over and just takes Casandra in her arms. The heart breaking screams coming from her making all the students who watched their relationship flourish. Just like that. Her whole world gone. Her heart feeling completely gone. How hard it was going to be when Evelynn cried and wanted her dad. How hard it was going to be not having him there. Not feeling his touch. Not waking up to Tom holding Evelynn and reading to her. This whole life they had, swiftly taken by whoever this man was. How could she be the mom Evelynn needed without Tom by her side? How could life move on. Seeing his lifeless body being put onto a gurney. Casandra gets up and leaves with his body. Riding in the ambulance with him. Holding his limp hand. Crying without even trying. Her body feeling like it just wants to give up.
