Love at First Fight

~Cassidy~

I've called out of work for the past week or so just because I just want to be alone. Chloe and Dakota have gotten me to eat a few meals but I haven't left the comfort of my bed other than school. Andrew hasn't spoken to me since the other day.

I know I told him I wanted him to leave me alone but after everything we said I didn't mean for him to completely leave me alone. Danny has been by a few times to try and get me to forgive him, in all honesty, I might just because he and I weren't official or anything yet. But I don't know.

I hear a knock on my door and I sigh as someone walks into the room, "Hey Cassie. It's almost seven. Are you going to school today?" I pull the covers from over my head and rub my eyes to look at my brother.

"Yeah, give me a few minutes to get dressed. Can you drive me again?" Dakota nods.

"Of course. I'll heat some waffles for you too." I frown, "Just eat something small. I don't want you going all day without eating." I nod and sit up in bed. I take a deep breath and watch him walk out of my room again closing the door behind him.

I change and brush my hair throwing it up in a messy bun; I grab my book bag and walk downstairs to see Chloe, Bailey, Danny, and Andrew sitting in the living room. Andrew is pinning Danny down in a death stare while Danny's eyes are on me.

"What are you doing here?" he gets up from the couch and walks over to me.

"Cassie, I am so sorry. I know you might never forgive me but I am going to do everything in my power to make it up to you. Even if that means I sell one of my kidneys so be it. I like you and I want to make whatever this is work. Please just give me one more chance." I look over at Bailey who is frowning and nodding.

"Why did you even do it? If you were so sure about asking me out, if you liked me as much as you say you did then why did you go out with some other girl you met online?" Danny frowns.

"Because I'm an idiot and I tend to always mess things up when I know they are too good for me. But with you, I want to make this work." I look at Chloe who gives me a hopeful smile.

"No dates. At least not for a while. Can we just be friends for right now?" Danny nods.

"Of course." I nod and take a deep breath, Dakota walks out of the kitchen with two Eggo waffles on a paper plate.

I smile down at them and hold them in my hand, "I'm not hungry but I'll try and eat them." he nods and walks back into the kitchen. I stare down at the waffles in my hand and sigh as I walk past Danny and sit them on the table. I sit on the ground and just stare at them, as weird as that is I feel like that is all I can do right now.

My mental stability is down the drain. Mom hasn't answered my calls or texts and I haven't heard anything from Dad. So when my mental stability goes, everything else goes too.

Chloe and Bailey sit next to me, "How about we split them with you?" I look up at my sister and give her a confused look.

"You can't exactly make half with three people Lucky Charm." she chuckles and nods.

"True. How about, Bailey and I split one and you eat one? We each get something that way." I look back down at the waffle and sigh.

"Okay." Bailey and Chloe smile at me.

Chloe splits one waffle for them and I look down at my waffle one more time before grabbing it and taking a bite out of it. Dakota smiles at me, I let my gaze travel the room until my eyes land on Andrew. He is staring at me but with a sad look in his eyes, when our eyes meet he tries to give me a small smile but I shake my head and finish eating the waffle.
