"This isn't you Cade." My voice is small.
I don't know if I'll ever understand why he suddenly changed, but I'm grateful he did. Whatever happened to him is a benefit to what is happening to us right now.
Cade tucks the strands of my hair that fall...

"No you're not." Ophelia pushes me back down to the couch after I stood up to follow them.
She looks between Cade and I. "You two better talk."
I'm gonna kill you Ophelia.
She hooks her left arm with Zayn and says, "let's go."
They both leave us, but not before hearing them mumble words to each other that I know is about Cade and I.
I'm now left in the living room with Cade, alone. I finally look at him and as expected, he was already staring at me.
He stands up from the couch and tucks his hands in his jeans pocket, before proceeding to speak.
"I know you're still mad at me and you have every right to be." Cade starts. His eyes leaves mine and he looks anywhere else but at me.
Is he nervous?
"I'm sorry I said those things to you--" he continues but I cut him off.
"What I do is not your business Cade." My mouth runs with words. Cade lets out an exhale.
"I know...I know." He mutters, running his fingers through his very curly brown hair.
Why does that little mindless action look so hot to me?
"I just...I just hmm," he looks at me, but doesn't complete his words.
Now, I can't help but feel like I'm being too much.
I stand up from the couch I'm seated on and walk up to him. Cade looks down at me with sad eyes.
I can't tell what he's really thinking, but he doesn't look okay. That much I can tell.
I exhale and mindlessly run my tongue over my lips. My brows furrow lightly when I noticed the shift in Cade's eyes.
His eyes had darkened, looking like a million things are running through them. He shuts his eyes and exhales. I decide not to address whatever that was.
"It's very clear and obvious that I'm mad at you Cade." I start off, causing his already saddened face to fall.
"You said some pretty personal stuff which got to me." He nods lightly in understanding, before speaking.
"I know and I'm sorry." He settles his hand at the back of his neck.
Up until now, I have been feeling anger towards Cade, but now that I'm standing just few steps away from him, I can't seem to be mad anymore.
Am I being too much?
I can't believe I'm questioning myself after being too upset with him to speak to him for a week.
Cade looks sorry. He says he's sorry and I believe him.
"Okay maybe I overreacted by slapping you." I admit. I start fiddling my fingers, cause I don't know what to do just standing and talking like this. It's awkward.
