I Could Never Forget Us

Chapter 13

--- Addy's POV ---

The Monday after Lucas left, I was sitting in the living room with Jack and Cassadee watching TV. Alex had gone to his parents house, Zack was seeing Harriet and Rian had gone grocery shopping leaving us three with nothing to do but flick through the channels. Alex and I still hadn't had a 'talk' but we hadn't really had anytime alone since that night and I hadn't had anymore nightmares so there were no more late night encounters. 

'Addy have you got something to wear tonight?' Cassadee looked at me

'No' I frowned 'Why what's happening?'

'I told Jack to tell you' she glared at Jack 

'I forgot I'm sorry' he looked at her with wide eyes

'I can't believe you Jack' she shook her head at him

'You should've told her yourself' he argued

'Told me what?' I interrupted their argument

'We're going out for dinner tonight' she told me

'Why?' I asked

'I'm going home tomorrow to check on things in LA and we get to meet Harriet' she smiled

'Okay' I nodded 'That sounds fun'

'There's one more thing' she looked slightly guitly 'You're going as Alex's date'

'What?' I shouted 

'Everyone else has a date except you two so it just made sense' she explained

'No' I shook my head 'It's not going to end well'

'Please Addy' she begged 'It won't be all bad'

'You want me to act like my ex boyfriend's date' I exclaimed 'That's pretty bad'

'No you don't you just have to sit with him so nobody gets left out' she whined

'Who are you going with?' I turned to Jack

'Josie from the Coffee Shop' he smiled proudly

'God damn it' I pouted

'I'm sorry' he pouted 'I've been looking for an excuse to ask her out for a while now'

'It's okay Jack' I smiled at him 'I'm glad you've found someone'

'I would have gone with you if I didn't like her' he said

'It's fine' I brushed it off 'I've got nothing to wear though I didn't pack formal clothes'

'I've been staying with a friend of mine while I'm here so you can come and borrow something' Cassadee offered

'Can I come too?' Jack asked 'I'm bored'

'Fine' Cassadee rolled her eyes 'Let's go'

Cassadee's friend, Grace, lived half an hour away so Jack drove us in the van. She wasn't staying at the house with Rian because they decided it'd be best if they had another house to escape from when Jack and Alex got too noisy. Grace was at work when we got there but Cassadee let us inside with a spare key and led us to the bedroom she was staying in. She started searching the wardrobe for something for me to wear.

'You brought a lot of clothes with you' I laughed

'I stay over here a lot so I leave stuff here' she shrugged

I sat down on the bed next to Jack and waited for her to find an outfit. We were about the same height and weight so I was pretty sure we'd be the same clothes size.
