Unexpected Love

Chapter 20

*Jack's POV*
Around 5am, I feel Cassie struggling to sleep. She's tossing, turning and groaning. I grab her waist and wake her up.
"Babe what's wrong?"
"I can't sleep."
"Why my love?"
"Thoughts about tomorrow. I mean today actually. 9 years is a long time."
"Babe, I know how you feel. I'm here for you. Everyone is here for you."
She gives me a kiss and snuggles with me. I'm so glad I can calm her down.

*Ella's POV*
Last night I kinda, well I did spend the night at Shawn's. I really didn't want to go home because my mom told me that her and Vance are somewhat fighting. In Shawn's room he has a couch, so I slept on that and he slept in his bed. Ever since he kissed me at the Boardwalk, I've gotten more feelings for him. I look at my phone and see that it's 5:15am, I remember what day it is and quickly text Cassie.
Cass❤: In the Bible it says: "Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll-- are they not in your record? Psalm 56:8." So its okay to cry and I know today is a hard day for you, especially with 9 years. But Grandma Lynn is in a better place now and watching over you. I love you so much and I'll ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU❤.
I decided to get up and make some breakfast. Shawn said his parents weren't home so I can kinda do whatever I want. I make eggs, bacon, waffles and a side fruit bowl. When I was finished Shawn woke up and ran downstairs. When we finished eating, he washed the plates off and made me not help him. Which is kinda good. Lol. When he was done, he kissed me again. Ugh. He's so cute. Since I forgot my makeup at home, he let me use his moms. I put on eyeliner, foundation and bronzer. I went into Shawn's room and waited for him to get ready.

*Cassie's POV*
I look down at my phone and see that I have a text from Ella.
Ella❤❤: "In the Bible it says: "Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll-- are they not in your record? Psalm 56:8." So its okay to cry and I know today is a hard day for you, especially with 9 years. But Grandma Lynn is in a better place now and watching over you. I love you so much and I'll ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU❤."
While I'm reading her text, I start to cry because it's so sweet and a good way to start my day. I text her back and say:
Me: Ella I love you so much, thank you for making my morning better, it means a lot bb❤.
My mom brought Jack and I up Starbucks. She got us breakfast sandwiches and of course coffee venti style. She gives me a big hug. I thank her and give her a kiss on the cheek. Today is a hard day for both of us. She's not my moms real mom, it's her step-mom but, she still is and forever will be my step-grandmother (if that makes sense). I put on foundation and waterproof mascara today. I didn't really want to look fancy today so, I just put on my hoddie with a picture of Jack & I on it and some black shorts. I keep my hair down. Jack just put on basketball shorts and a matching hoddie like mine. My mom takes a picture and sends it to me. Aw. Its so cute. Around 7:30 Jack and I leave for school. My mom wanted us to take Emily to school so we did. When we got in the car, Jack turned on the radio. The song "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack was playing. It reminded me of my grandma, I held my tears in. Once we dropped Emily off at school, Jack took us to school. By the time we got there, it was 8:10, 40 minutes before our first hour started. We saw Ella and Shawn and walked over to them. While we were having our conversation, Cameron came up to me and said "Have a good day today, hope everything is alright, miss you."
I repiled by saying "Thank you." Jack got pissed and I found it weird how he said he missed me. I know he wanted to be friends, but he ruined that by ignoring me when we had our "relationship." Whatever, I have my babe Jack. The rest of the day was good. I didn't cry, but it was still hard. I had everyone by my side today. The way how my Grandma died was a car accident. After school, Jack took me to the store to by flowers and a balloon. Every year on this day, my mom and I put balloons and flowers on Grandmas grave. Its a tradition of remembering her in a good way. At the grave, of course I cried. At least my mom & Jack was with me. Jack took a picture of me putting the flowers down on her grave and sent it to me. I posted it on Instagram with the caption "Your missed Grandma, 9 years without you is pretty hard, but I know God has you in good hands❤." We all went home and watched movies together, Emily went home and stayed with my Grandma Sheryl. Around 7:30, she brought her back home passed out. About an hour later after we all 3 ate dinner, we went to bed ourselves. Today was a long day.
