The Burden

Ch. 2 ❥ Crazed Night?

Hey so Cass here again. I hate Nick so much. I'm so close to throwing him out an window. If i have to hear another stupid comment from him i will cry. Its friday now, and ofcourse Nick's throwing an party for his 16 birthday. So yay? Es is ofcourse going to be there with me luckily, and his crush might be there, Jaxon Byers. Hopefully Sophia will be there! Just gotta make it through this school day and the party- i'll update you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cass walked off the bus shoving past people, to get to homeroom, pissed from her fathers wording of 'She doesnt do anything at all around their home' all she's ever done was try to help, try to take the responsibilities off her parents, she then purposely tripped Nick. She then bumped into Sophia their face instantly turning a light pink.
"Hey! Sophia!" Cass said in a pepped voice.
"Hm? Oh hey Cassidy!"
'OhMyGodSheKnowsMyNameEEeEE'
Cass thought.
"Oh- Its just Cass!"
"Oh sorry!"
"Its fine! Uhm are you going to the party..?"
"Ofcourse!" said Sophia fixing her backpack strap
"O-Oh Cool! Uh wanna hang out at the party...?"
"Yeah! You seem pretty nice! So sure!"
"Cool cool- uhm Gotta get going haha- bye!" Cass said walking away, bumping into some people.
"Oh okay! Bye Cass!"
"Bye Sophie-! I- mean- Sophia!"
Cass spoke mentally face palming running away now, they ran into an empty room and closed the door, her face a bright pink and her hair a bit of a mess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OH MY GOD JOURNAL! I ASKED SOPHIA TO HANG OUT WITH ME!! AND I ACCIDENTLY CALLED HER SOPHIE- GOD! THAT WAS SO EMBARRASSING! BUT SHE LOOKED SO CUTE SHE HAD HER BLACK HAIR IN BRAIDS, AND SHE WAS WEARING HEART SHAPED SUN GLASSES, AND AN STRAWBERRY COVERED DRESSS! SHE LOOKS SO CUTE! AND SHE'S SO NICE! GOD I WOULD MARRY HERRR!
THATS AN BIT WEIRD-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later on Cass was anticipating the party, anticipating talking to Sophia, anticipating on what to wear to impress Sophia. She was at Esther's house getting ready
"Es! What should I wear!? Sophia's gonna be there- and- and-"
Cass said panicking
"Shush chill it girl- I have this black dress that would look amazing on you!"
Esther spoke pulling out the dress
"No no! No no no no no!"
Cass spoke quickly at how short the dress and how it went down to mid thigh
"Pleaseee! C'mon just for an night!"
"Fine. But if i get harassed i'm beating you up."
"Okay okay-"
After getting dressed they began to take Esther's car there. Then stepping out looking absolutely stunning, Cass walked into the house first, the place booming with music, she had mostly distanced herself from everybody, staying away from the creeps and the dudes, she then got shoved into someone. Nick fucking Rodriguez.
"Ooo! Looky here! Cassidy Rivers at my house party hm?"
"Fuck off Nick."
"Fuck off? How about I fuck your bestfriend huh?"
This comment ticked Cass off. Being overprotective after all. She did the only reasonable thing any 15 year old would do. Beat the shit out of him- okay maybe not- that wouldn't end well, Cass just spilt her drink all over him, kicking him in the shins, him cursing at her and holding his shins in pain as she walked up the stairs to get away from most of the commotion. She walked into a bedroom. Sophia was there.
"O-Oh- Sophia heyyy!"
"Cass! Hey!"
Cass walked over and sat down beside her with an light pink blush, it was obvious Sophia was an bit tipsy.
"Hey Cass have I ever told you how cute you dress?"
"n-no! Haha- you don't mean that right..?"
"No! I do! I think you look pretty tonight!~"
So Sophia was an drunk flirter-
Sophia scooted closer and fell on Cass stretching out and passing out on Cass's lap
"Sophia..? You awake..?"
Soft snoring could be heard from her.
Cass's face was an bright red blush, Cass slowly scooted away and got up leaving an soft kiss on Sophia's forehead, walking out, almost falling down the stairs, trying to find Esther, she saw Esther making out with Jaxon on the couch she tried to get his attention.
"Es? Ess...? Es-"
Esther didnt even respond and just kept kissing Jaxon, Cass got an bit ticked off from this and walked into the kitchen bumping into Nick. Nick scoffed and purposely put his cup over her head and poured it all over them. Cass gasped as everybody around them laughed at this predicament, she looked up at Esther seeing if they would help, but all he did was stand there with Jaxon, Cass pushed past Nick and exited the house evening more pissed, it had began to rain all of a sudden, and lightning struck the concrete as she stomped off to the woods pissed. The words her father said came back to her. All the ridicule Nick has caused her came pummeling into her mind and the thought of their own bestfriend not helping them? All of her emotions were bottling up and she felt like they would explode. Her mothers words of "CASSIDY! STOP TRYING TO HELP! STOP PRETENDING LIKE EVERYTHINGS FINE!" Cass wanted to scream. She had finally made it to the middle of the woods. She screamed as loud as she could. The Trees all fell over at her scream and lightning striking all around her, her fellow classmate was walking through the woods after an sucky experience of dealing with his 'old friend' he had witnessed this all. He stood there scared, terrified, even. Cass looked back up to meet his gaze, she looked around realizing what she had caused, she looked at her classmate, Mattheo Smith, with an look of fear on her own face, what the fuck had just happened..?
"Y-You Didn't see shit Smith! Got it?!"
"yeah-" he spoke in an stuttering voice as she ran off towards her house, he stood there stunned and terrified.
She made it home, and climbed in through her window, getting a shower and grabbing her journal.
