Together

Chapter 2

(Cassandra Pov)

I wake up with a blanket over me. What the ? I say to myself, confused. "I don't remember having a bla-" I say getting cut off by Kayden. "Of course you don't, I put it on you." I watch him as he comes out the bathroom. "You fell asleep and you looked. . . Pretty cold." He says sitting on the edge of his bed. He was fully dressed and looked very good. You wouldn't think we were in a place where there was beaches and stuff. I couldn't help but stare at him. He laughed. "Are you okay, Cass ?" I snapped out of it. "H-Huh ?! Oh. . . Yeah." He closes his eyes and sighs. "Okay. Well you go ahead and get dressed. I'll be down in the lobby. Alright ?" I nod and he smiles and walks out the door and closes it behind him.

I got up and went over to my suitcase and wanted something basic. I couldn't stop smiling for some reason. I put on a white t-shirt and shorts. Then I put some Nike slides on and run out the door locking it.

I walk into the lobby and see a bunch of my classmates talking. Jackson walks up to me. He's much taller than me now. (No, I'm not some short person he's just genuinely tall. I'm saying 6ft kinda tall.) "Oh my gosh what." I say annoyed. "You look cute shortie." I cringed. "Stop it. Go jerk off or something." I say trying to walk away. He grabbed my wrist. "Where are you going Cass ?" I look down and pull away. "Don't call me that weirdo." I could see his smirk. I was obviously very overpowered right now. Then I hear Kayden yell. "Dude ! Jackson." He says quickly walking over. Jackson quickly let go of my wrist and backed up. Kayden ran up and grabbed him by his collar and pushed him on the ground. Everyone started screaming. Kayden started punching him. "I'm tired of your pervert ass shit bro !" He said in a very angry tone. Mr. K ran up to the two and pulled Kayden off Jackson. Kayden's knuckles were bleeding and Jacksons face was bleeding. Kayden was breathing heavily as a hotel staff came to help Jackson's bleeding and also Kayden's.

I was in shock. Kayden was never the type to do something like that. Especially when we aren't at home in Michigan. When the boys came back, Mr. K lectured everyone and said Jackson and Kayden weren't allowed out their rooms until tomorrow. Kayden got some bandages for his hands and Jackson got an icepack. The two walked back towards their rooms and I followed Kayden. "Hey w-wait up !" I say running after him.

He unlocks our door and walks in. I follow after him and lock the door behind me. He sat on his bed feeling his hands with an angry expression. I sat next to him. "Y-you didn't have to do that. . ." No response. I look at him. "Yeah. I did. He would never stop if I didn't." He said looking at me. I didn't know what to say. "I. . . Guess so." I say walking over towards my bed. He grabbed my hand. "Wait a sec. Okay ?" I look at him and become red. He looks at me and immediately lets go. "S-sorry. . . I don't know what I was doing." I look at my hand. "It's okay." I say walking towards my bed. I lay on it away from him cheesing hard. I hear Kayden laugh and I laugh. We were just laughing for no reason. Kayden sat up. I went over to him and sat next to him again.

We looked at each other. He looked me up and down. I became so insanely turned on. Holy fuck that was hot. I quickly got up and ran towards the bathroom. "Cass where are you going ?" He says probably pretty confused. "Hold on I'll be out in a second !" I yell closing that bathroom door and lock it.

<Time Skip> (2 minutes)

I rinse my face with cold water. "I can't look all red infront of Kayden, he'll think I like him. It'll ruin everything." I say quietly while wiping my face with a towel. I hear Kayden knock on the door. "Cass. . . ? You okay ?" I open the door and nod. "Yep !" He looks at me for a second then gets out my way. "Wanna watch some TV ?" He asks. I nod. "Sure. You pick, I'll go get some snacks for us. . . And some more bandages for you." I say looking at his hands. He nods reluctantly and I walk out the door.

I walk into the cafeteria and see a bunch of my classmates and friends in there. "Why is everyone in here. . . ? Nevermind that, let me get these snacks." I walk towards the pantry and a girl I know comes up to me. Hannah.

"Cassi ! So glad you're down here !" I look behind me. "Oh hey. Yeah I'm just. . . Getting some snacks for me and Kayden. . ." I say grabbing chips. "Speaking of Kayden. . . Don't you think it was so hot of him to stand of for you like that ? I wish I had a guy like him in my life. You're lucky girl !" I nod, blushing a bit. "Well he's my friend and he doesn't like Jackson. More reason to kick his ass I guess?" She laughs then one of her friends call her. "Oh well I'll see you later Cass !" She says as she runs off towards the tables. I smile. She's definitely more the popular type but she isn't mean. I'm glad we're friends.

I grab some juice and other things, stuff them in bags and run back towards the front desk to get bandages. Once I did that I ran towards my room opening the door and walking in.

"You took a while." Kayden says sitting back on his bed. I let out a small laugh. "Yeah. Sorry Hannah came and talked to me." I say putting the bags on the table. He gets up. "No no no idiot, stay right there." He stops and looks at me a bit taken aback. "Excuse me ?" He says putting his had on his chest. "You heard me. Sit down. I need to give you these snacks." I say He sat down. "So we aren't sharing ?" He says. "You never wanna share." I say narrowing my eyes. "Yeah 'cause you eat everything !" I gasp. "I do not !" I say throwing a bag of chips at him laughing. We both start laughing.

I go in the bathroom and change my clothes. I come back and lay on my bed. "You aren't gonna watch tv ? Or eat snacks ?" Kayden says looking at me. I shake my head. "I'll eat them tomorrow." I say slowly falling asleep. "Okay then. Goodnight Cass." Kayden says.

I fall asleep.
