Well, I only got the nerve to write it just about now.... Gosh I missed writing so much! Anyway, Enjoy!

Upon hearing the bastards' name, my world seemed to stop, my blood ran cold as ice and my breath came in gasps. I stared at Cassie, my eyes wide, not really caring if my tears would flow any moment now, and tried desperately to remove what she said from my mind. I opened my mouth, but closed it again. My mind was so jumbled I could barely feel anything. The only thing my mind allows to enter are the memories of Cassie trying to get me away from Kyle. They flashed like a fast forwarded clip and I couldn't  make sense. Cassie was staring a hole at the ground, tears softly trickling down her face. 

We were both silent for what seemed like hours, mourning on the mistake we both made. I felt like time itself stopped when Cassies secret was revealed.

"Oh." I mumbled for a while. I still cant decide what to say.... or if I actually want to say something.

"Oh...." I whispered again, this time it sounded like 'Oh... my world fell apart. But I'll just say Oh just to fake it up.'

Neither of us said anything for a long time. It was until the sun has set that Cassie spoke up.

"I'm sorry Lilith.... I tried to warn you... but.. but--" 

"Cassie... Im fine... honestly..." I said, faking a smile.

"Lilith. I know you well enough to know when youre lying and when youre not.." 

"Okay fine Cassie, what do you want me to say? 'Oh Cassie! I am miserable! I am on the verge of death because my bestfriend once slept with the boy I love!' Is that what you want me to say Cassie?! Is that it!?" My voice quivered at the end, and too late did I realize that I was actually crying. Cassie looked down guiltily and I had the chance to think about what I just said. I was surprised by my sudden outburst. I hadn't meant to make it sound like that, but I guess when everything is jumbled up, I cant really blame myself for saying rude things.

"I-Im sorry Cassie... it's just.... everything is not fine for me right now okay? I will admit Im not fine, Im miserable... but I promise Cassie... I will be fine... somehow.."

"I know its all my fault, Im so sorry!!" I could hear panic rising in her again so I had to smile and hug her before saying anything else.

"Its not your fault... Its those two dickhead bastards fault, okay? By Monday, I'll be better than ever, I promise you." I said to her ear.

I felt her nod and I finally let go. It was almost evening but I really wanted to stay here for a while so I told Cassie she can go home.

"Are you sure Lilith? Some of those boys might get back on you..." Cassie warned me.

"I'm fine Cassie...," I smiled, remembering something. "Harry will protect me remember?"

At that, Cassie was finally convinced. I smiled all I could until she was out of sight, then I dropped my facade and stared into the distance.

Harry...

Will he ever come to me again? After what I did?

These were my only thoughts until I had the nerve to go home. Hoping that these will somehow reach him.

I wasn't that far from home when I sensed someone following me.

Oh please, not this again....

But it was. As I turned to look, not someone, but a group of guys, all four of them, increased their pace to reach me.

"Goddammit!" I hissed and turned to run. I believed that I had outran them but it seems like my legs were still sore from my long run this afternoon. Two of the boys finally catched up to me and they yanked my hair do hard that I was forced to sit on the road.
