Cassie pov:
Tom has been gone for almost three days and I don't know when he'll be back. My whole body feels like it could collapse at any moment. I never knew a person could be so addicting. I need to have him close to me soon, or I'll fucking kill myself. It's as if I've taken incredible amounts of drugs for months and suddenly, my stash is gone.
Tiffany sits beside me, her leg jumping up and down, matching mine. The bar is completely full and incredibly loud. My hope coming here was that Tom would barge in like a knight in shining armor and wrap his arms around me and take me home. Save me from my loneliness and withdrawels.
Crystal acts like she's much older than us even though she looks nine years old. She's short, slutty, childish, but such a nice girl. I thought it was incredibly sad to see her get trapped in Gustavs lies like Tiffany with Georg. But Tiffany is older and has more life experience. She's the oldest of us all. It's just sad that Crystal's life would get turned upside down so easily, and so early in her life.
Currently, she's dancing with some random twenty year old man in the crowd. She's more drunk than Tiffany and I, and very wild when she gets to. Suddenly, she stops dancing and stares straight ahead of her. She lifts a hand and points to something behind me. I turn to see what is making her stop dancing and there stands Tom, Georg and Gustav with two people I have never seen before.
The man has long black and white dreadlocks and looks almost exactly like Tom. He looks tired and woozy like he's been drugged and Gustav is dragging him to the couches where Tiffany and I are sitting. The man and the woman sits down in front of us. I can't stop staring at the woman and she keeps staring at me. She looks just like me. Maybe not like a twin but like an older clone of me. We have the exact same hair: light brown and curly. The same dark blue eyes. The same face shape and the same expressions. But still there's something in her that radiates of strong woman. I don't know what it is, but just being close to her like right noe makes me feel so safe. I wonder if she might be a witch.
Scarlett pov:
The girl sitting in front of me has got to be Cassie. She looks just like me when I was younger. Like a clone of me. But she seems to fragile and childish. Like a bunny. Something about her reminds me of Caty. Her sweet innocent look and the way we resemble each other. I feel as if I have to protect her. She reminds me so much of Cat that I want to run and hug her and never let her go, but she is not my child. Not my resbonsibility.
"Cassie, right?" I ask her, and she nods still with her mouth wide open in shock. It's really like seeing a clone of yourself. You never think that will happen but when it happens, it's like all your beliefs are thrown out the window.
"And you must be the famous Scarlett." Says the woman sitting beside her. She looks older, and meaner. She has more experience with life and with these people clearly. Her long, straight black hair drapes over her shoulders, covering part of her almost completely exposed boobs. Her almond brown eyes stare at me with misdirected fury.
Another girl steps into my line of vision, and she's much younger. Looks like an actual child. Gustav lets go of Bill and practically jumps for every step to get to the girl. He picks her up and spins her around out of happiness. She smiles and giggles, and I can't help but feel warm inside looking at how happy they seem.Gustav sets her down and presses her against his body, kissing her as if they haven't seem each other in a year. To me, that looks like true love. Even in this god forsaken world, true love can happen.
A phone rings behind me and I look back. It's Tom's phone and he picks it up. I can't hear who's calling or what it's about, but his entire body language changes into something scary. It must be really bad. He mumbles something into the phone and hangs up. His eyes find their way down to me on the couch.
"They couldn't find her in the house or anywhere near. Catherine is missing." Tom says with a very serious expression. I stand up from the couch as fast as lighting and turn towards Tom, ignoring his men around him who reach for their guns.
"YOU SADISTIC FUCK!!!" I scream with the full power of my lungs and launch myself over the couch, grabbing Tom's throat with my hands. Everybody pulls out their guns but I don't care. Tom has never done anything good and now our child is missing. The only real light of my life. Both men that I love have done bad things and can never chance that. But Cat is innocent, and now she's somewhere in the dangerous world and I can't protect her like I promised myself to do.
Tom and I fall to the ground and the back of his head smacks against the floor. When my knees hit the ground on each side of his torso, I feel a strong pain shooting up my legs and into my back but I couldn't care less.
"Permission to shoot, sir!" One of his men shout as I'm trying to choke him to death. He rolls his head from side to side and lifts one hand to show them off. They all put the guns back in the holsters and wait for me to be done.
"Scar..." Bill says with a sad voice behind me. I barely even notice it. It's as if I look at Tom and only see the monster under the bed that I've always been scared of since I was little. He doesn't look like someone I love right now. Right now, he looks like the most evil person in the world.
Until I see a small tear fall down the side of his face and get caught in his braids at the hairline. He's crying."I'm sorry." He croaks while I squeeze his vocal cords too much for him to speak clearly. The world has stopped around us, and suddenly, the anger dissapears. Replaced by intense sadness. More than anything I've ever felt before. It feel like it's the end of the world.
My grip on his neck loosens but I don't let go entirely.
"I love you." He says, now finally being able to breathe normally but his voice is still raspy. Another tear falls down the side of his face, and this time, I do the same. I don't even try to stop it. The tears just start falling like someone pushed a button on me.
Tom's hands slide up my body and starts wrapping around my waist. His hands feel almost secure right now. The one thing I need is comfort and Tom is closest. He sits up, my hands falling from his neck and down to his chest as he presses my body completely against his.***
