Slow Burn

CHAPTER FIVE

TRIGGER WARNING

Jason POV

"Fuck "I say as I wake up. I check the time on my phone and it's 5 am in morning. Great why the hell am I awake so early.I feel shifting in the blankets. Oh shit I almost forgot...we slept in the same bed.Now that I'm thinking about it we're cuddling no wonder why my arm felt numb. I don't want to disturb her sleep but I'm wide awake and she seems deep in sleep. I quietly get off the bed making sure not to wake her up. " Mmmh...Jason come back to sleep" Cassandra says still sleepy while rubbing her eyes which might I add was cute as hell. " Sorry Cassandra, I'm wide awake,I'll sleep later so just go back to sleep" I say to her. " Mmhh" she says and goes back to sleep. I went ahead and took a shower real quick in the previous room since I didn't want to disturb her. I got up after 30 minutes did my mornings routine and got out. I went downstairs to watch some TV so that I get tired quicker. Just when I started feeling abit sleepy from TV. I hear a scream. I quickly run upstairs. " Cassandra! Cassandra!" I say shaking her awake.

Cassandra POV

DREAM

I'm running in the rain.Oh God what has become of me. Is he behind me, I turn quickly and find him catching up to me. I'm in the middle of the road running like a mad person with blood on me from hitting him ontop of the head. "Cass! Cass!" He continues shouting while laughing. His a sicko. I then run into the forest. I climb up the nearest tree. " Cassandra didn't I tell you not to misbehave...your making me hurt you....you were doing just fine until you were talking to that boy...now I had to hurt him now you....but why did you hit me. FUCKING BITCH!" He says clearly angry. Thank God I'm up in this tree. The moment I closed my eyes something hit the tree so hard I slipped and fell directly on my already injured ankle.I screamed in pain and fear. " Found you silly girl" He says now looking at me. I started shaking before he could touch me. Something or someone punched him in his face and kept saying while shaking me " Cassandra wake up" I was confused and due to the pain being intense I fainted.

DREAM

" AH!!" I woke up. Fuck my head hurts. " Cassandra oh my God are you okay, you screamed earlier and were shaking and crying when I got here" He says with tears in his eyes. Fuck man....I then felt my face to feel tear stains. That dream was a memory but the end was different atleast in the dream I was saved. I sighed and looked at Jason. " I'm....okay" I say almost unsure myself. He simply looks at me for a second with an unreadable expression. " Who's Jake" He asks clearly concerned now.... No...fuck." His no one...please let's forget this conversation" I say quickly looking away clearly knowing I'm still scared of him."Whoever he is to you, he seems to have given you,PTSD" He says looking at me intensely. " JUST LET IT GO FUCK! ITS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS! CANT YOU FUCKING LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE ALWAYS TRYING TO BE SOME SORT OF HERO THATS WHY PEOPLE WALK ALL OVER YOU" I lash out. He simply stood up "I'll leave you alone...and I was only trying to help...I thought we were open with each other but I guess it was only me" He says closing the door. I don't care.... I don't want to remember what happened for him to judge me.

Fly on the wall POV

Tension...Tension yall. That's the atmosphere now. They haven't spoken to each other for the whole day and Jason avoids her by going into a different area then Cassandra. Now Jason is going into the living room where Cassandra is. " We're leaving in about 2 hours since it's alot sunnier today" He says and immediately leaves without a response. Cassandra on the other hand looks hurt by his actions but whispers to herself " I deserve it".

2 HOURS LATER

Now their in the car with the same intense atmosphere. They drove in complete silence ( and yes I'm following them) no music NOTHING. They arrive infront of Cassandra's house " Sorry about earlier... I... nevermind it was nice spending time with you today" she says leaving the car. Jason doesn't respond and drives to the house next door.
