"This isn't you Cade." My voice is small.
I don't know if I'll ever understand why he suddenly changed, but I'm grateful he did. Whatever happened to him is a benefit to what is happening to us right now.
Cade tucks the strands of my hair that fall...

The fear.
The anxiety.
The negative heart racing.
The terrible feeling of betrayal.
All this is happening to me because I fell in love with the one guy I shouldn't have loved or liked in the first place. The one guy I should've stayed away from.
In my state of being thrown off the cliff by Zayn's dare, my eyes still found Cade and the look present on his face is far different than I imagined.
He doesn't look angry, mad or pissed. He's shocked too, but there's also something else.
It's sadness.
It's sadness because Cade knows what Zayn has been feeling towards me and that guilt is currently eating him up, just like the way it does to me every damn time I think of Ophelia.
An hysterical laughter breaks the silence and it was from no one other than my best friend.
"You cannot possibly be serious Zayn." Ophelia stares back at him in astonishment.
Okay, so they didn't plan this together. Great.
"What do you mean by that?" She ask, still laughing.
I feel the hiccups of my breaths approaching, so I take puffs of my inhaler again.
"Exactly what you heard Dimple twin." Zayn looks between both of us, but settles his eyes on me.
"You can't possibly dare your friend to kiss you. It's so out of pocket." Adrianna cuts in and less pleasantly, might I add.
The gut feeling that this chick isn't being transparent about who she is, stirs deep in me. Still, I choose to overlook it.
"It's not a big deal Anna," Zayn calls her a nickname that I haven't heard before, brushing his idea of a dare off like it's an ordinary, normal thing.
But I know this is a big deal to him.
"It's just a kiss." He says nonchalantly.
I'm surprised I haven't passed out from the way my heart is racing. Staring directly and fiercely into my eyes, Zayn utters more words.
"It's just a dare Freya. There's no harm here." If it was Cade staring at me like this, my body would've reacted far differently than it's reacting now.
