We Were Never Meant To Be (ON HOLD)

Chapter Nine

CASSIE'S P.O.V

It's already been a month and Danny has finally decided to invite me out on a date today. I honestly can't wait. I never thought that he was the type to go on dates but I guess I was mistaken. I wonder where he will take me. I was in my room thinking of different type of places for dates trying to figure out which one is ideal when I hear a knock on my door. It was Conner.

"Come in" I yelled and kept wondering why he would come to my room at this time of the night. Normally he would be in his room Talking to his friends on Skype or just watching movies. The usual. He never does homework at home because his best friend always made sure he did it during school so that he would not forget to do it.

"Can I talk to you for a sec?" He peeked in looking really troubled. It's the first time I'm seeing him like this. He always looked so happy and I was always the one running to him when I have a problem.

"Sure come in" I said sounding concerned. Don't get me wrong I was really concerned. I motioned for him to come in and he reluctantly walked to my bed and sat next to me.

"Relax a little. You're making me tense" I say to him trying to get rid of the tense atmosphere he brought to my room. He showed a meek smile and then sighed. I suddenly got serious because he didn't even tell me his problem and yet I can't think of anything to say to him. We're twins but it's like I don't know anything about him. This is sad.

"What is it that you wanted to talk about?" I ask trying to get to the bottom of things. I hope it's not something serious. He looked up at me with no glimmer in his eyes. The usual light that was in it has faded. He's depressed.

"I'm-" he held his head down again contemplating on his choice of words. "I'm..... gay" he said with his head still held down. He peeked at me from underneath his bangs studying my facial expression to see what I will say or how I will react.

"I know" I said calmly. His head shot up in shock. He looked at me with wide eyes. "I know" I said again but this time with a smile. I was happy that he decided to trust me enough to tell me. That he felt that it was right to tell me. No matter what Conner is it won't change the fact that I'm his sister and it won't change the fact that I love him dearly.

"You do" he says hesitantly. Still studying my face to make sure that my reaction towards him is not a dream.

"Yes I do and it's okay!" I reassured him. It seems like I've said the right thing with little effort. A huge smiled appeared on his face as he shows off his pearly white teeth. He kept up his smile but tears remained. He was crying. He wasn't crying because he was sad and felt like I was lying to him, he was crying because his weight was lifted, because the one family member that he can usually trust accepts him. He's crying because he is happy.

"There is something else that I need to tell you"he looked at me with sudden determined eyes. "I'm in love with you best friend" he stuttered "I'm in love with Jamie" he said with his eyes still focused on me. Not wavering one bit. I have to add that I already knew that but lets give him the benefit of the doubt.

"Oh my gosh!" I said with a shocked face. "Are you being serious?" I said raising my voice a little. He jumped feeling shocked but he still didn't waver. He's getting back to his confident self. Good.

"Yes. You heard right" he said while standing. Does it bother you?"

"It doesn't bother me at all" I said relaxing the muscles in my face to remove the annoyed expression I had in my face. He sighed in relief. My little act was worth it. I walked up to him and pulled him into a tight hug. "Anything my brother chooses is fine with me. At the end if the day you are still you. You're still the annoying over protective Conner that I grew up with and that will never change" he pulled away and smiled and left the room. I though he left but he suddenly peeked in and stuck his tongue out at me. We both erupted into laughter.

"When will you confess?" I shouted as he walked away.

"Today!" he said confidently.

"Are you prepared for whatever will happen?" I asked. He stopped in his tracks and stayed that way with his back still turned to me.

"I honestly don't know" he said in a lower voice and resumed walking away. Immediately after that my phone startled me by suddenly vibrating. I thought it was a text but it continued to vibrate. It's a call. It's a call from Danny.

Time doesn't affect the amount of butterflies that I get whenever I talk to him. It always feels like the first time. I looked at the clock and it was 4 PM. I still had enough time to paint my nails and curl my hair. I curled my hair first and then took out my black nail polish and another black nail polish with glitter and stones.

I turned on my music and started to sing while I paint my nails. I'm not the best singer but I'm always singing. Today seems like a good day since my iPod kept playing all the good songs one after the other.

I waited for my nail to dry then I put my curly hair in an updo then picket out my outfit. I took out a violet mini dress with fishnet stockings with flowers on them and a pair of black combat boots. I took out a silver necklace with a bunch of mustache pendants on it and my collection of bracelets.

After I took those out I went to take a shower. But mistake. I should have taken a shower before I did my hair but oh well it time for a shower cap. Oh how I hate those. They feel so uncomfortable but it can't be helped at the moment.

I got out the shower and got dressed with some more time to spare. I went to the family room and turn on the TV. The nerves just decided to kick in. I got nervous thinking about what Danny might have planned for tonight and what we will be doing. I heard the door ring and I was brought back to reality. He's here! I rushed to the door and there he was standing with a bunch on purple and yellow roses.

"Hi" he said as a blush crept up to his face and he held his hand out with the flowers waiting for me to take it. I took the flowers with a big smile on my face while inhaling the breathtaking smell of the roses.

"Hi" I replied finally looking at him with a smile.
