DREW'S POV

I decided not to go after Cassie when she left because I figured it wouldn't help the situation if she was all worked up and plus I didn't know what I would have said to her. She clearly was feeling emotional and I couldn't blame her, I was also, especially after I found out the truth about my parents and Derek.

As much as I was relieved that I wasn't the one that killed Cassie's parents, I was angry with my brother from keeping the truth from me. All this time I always thought that my parents never loved me, but it was just Derek keeping the truth from me. I also couldn't believe my brother was bipolar, I mean now that I think of it, it makes sense. Derek would always be happy for a while and then he would be angry for no apparent and have an urge to do something wild, like kidnapping two teenagers.

After Cassie had left me with my parents, I really got to reconnect with my parents and I really enjoyed it. I just wished I could remember things about them, I hated not remembering anything about them or us. I didn't even know my own parent's birthday. Since both my parents were doctors I had asked them as to why I could barely remember my past and I even told them that some memories have resurfaced, but was still hazy. They told me I had something called Dissociate Amnesia, which pretty much was temporary memory loss caused from a traumatic event, which in my case was Cassie's house going up in flames, so my little kid brain did it's best to forget everything. My parents told me that my memory will eventually come back, if not sooner, later. I was excited when my parents told me the reasons to my flashbacks because I finally had the answers to why I was having them and it was temporary which meant I would eventually remember everything from my childhood. I couldn't wait for that day.

*~*~*~*~*~*

"Drew?" I woke up to an angelic voice that was my beautiful girlfriend. I wondered how she was feeling.

"Morning beautiful." I yawned sitting up from the couch. And yes, I slept on the couch.

Cassie held out her bottom lip further from her top, "I'm sorry." She pouted as she came towards me, I grinned and swung an arm around her.

I kissed the side of her head, "don't even worry about it." I told her and hugged her tighter, she smiled in return and buried her face in my chest. "Cassie you know it's not your fault right?" She looked up at me with a daze, "it's not your fault Chris is dead." I clarified.

"Yes it is." She countered.

"If anything, it's my fault." I opposed. Chris came between me and a bullet.

Cassie shook her head, "if I didn't want to vacation so bad then Chris would've stayed here and he'd still be alive." She explained again as to why she thought it was her fault.

I grabbed her hand, "if you didn't go on vacation," I paused, "you probably would've never met me." I thought and saw as her eyes soften, "Derek wanted me dead," the thought that my brother fired a gun to kill me got to me again, but I ignored it, "and Chris got in the way. It's my fault he's dead." I revealed.

"Okay no." She pulled away from me, "it wasn't your fault Chris got in the way," she paused, "he knew what he was getting into when he ran towards you, he saw the gun." she stated. I narrowed my eyes at her and she rolled her eyes when she realized why I looked at her the way I did. "Fine. It's not my fault either," she paused, "I didn't know what was going to happen on vacation," she paused again, "and it was Chris who insisted that he come with me." she smiled. "I hate you." She grinned as she laid back down towards me chest.

My smile was sly, "anything for you to realize the truth." I squeezed her, "and when you really think about it." I paused, she looked at me confused, "Chris knew that it was either you or him to be with you know and he wanted you here with me," I paused to give her time to think about it, "so technically, Chris wanted us to be together." I chuckled.

She rolled her eyes and laughed at the same time. "you're insane." she laughed.

I interlaced my fingers with hers, "yeah." I grinned, "insanely in love with you." I said cheesily and kissed her on the lips only to have her kiss back more passionately. She had on hand on my cheek and another tangled in my hair, while I kept my hand around her waist and pulled her closer.

Couple seconds later, I pulled away because I was enjoying it a little too much and didn't want to do something I know we both weren't ready for. I respected her way too much to do this now. "I love you." She smiled, something about the way she said it made it feel more special than the other times and I loved it.

"Love you too." I kissed her temple and moved my hand over her shoulder as she curled up next to me. "Cassie?" I muttered. AS much as I didn't want to do anything this moment, I just needed to ask this.

"Hmm?" She countered.

"Will you go on a date with me?" I asked. She looked at me with questionable eyes, "we've never gone out with just the two of us, doing normal teenager things," I explained, "so Cassandra will you go out with me?"

I felt her shake her head between my arm and chest, "yes." She blushed, "I would love to go on our first date." She chuckled looking into my eyes playfully before she relaxed in my arm again.

Should be fun.

Their going on their first date!! What do you think they'll do?

Honestly still debating if I want to end this story with a wedding even though I think it's extremely cliche. Would you guys hate me if I also include a sex scene? I feel like a sex scene is intense and I wonder if I can pull it off. I'm not sure yet. I was going to include it in this chapter, but I  decided not to. I think it also works in this story since Drew and Cassie's love seem so strong.
