A Different kind of Love

Chapter 12

Caspar's POV

Cara and I decided it would be easier for her to come over to my house to talk.

I was waiting downstairs for 20 minutes until I heard a knock on my door.

I took a deep breath and opened it to see her.

" Hey Cas." She smiled and hugged me.

" Come in." I smiled and we went to the living room.

My mom is at work so we have the house to ourselves.

After she sat down I offered to make her a cup of coffee or get her some water or something but she didn't want anything.

" I just want to get to the point. I miss you so much and I feel horrible for what I did to you. "

I bit my lip as I let her continue talking.

" I promise that's the only time I did that. "

" Why the hell did you do it in the first place?" I asked with annoyance in my voice.

" Because I was stupid. " she frowned.

" I loved you." I looked down.

" Well I still love you and want to prove it to you. " she stood up and sat on the couch next to me instead of where she previously was on the chair across from me.

I moved away a little.

" How are you gonna do that?" I asked crossing my arms.

" Give me another chance."

If she asked me that when we first broke up I probably would have considered it, but now, I don't know.

A lot has changed. I've changed in this short time.

" I'm with Joe." I said remembering that she thinks I'm actually with him.

She sighed," Joe and you don't have a connection like we do. He doesn't love you as much as I do!"

For some reason that upset me," You don't know anything about our relationship. "

" Oh come on, I've seen you two in the halls and at the party. Every Time Joe saw Justin he would be all over you but when Justin wasn't around, he didn't even touch you. He's clearly still in love with him and just using you to make him jealous."

That was the original plan for this whole fake relationship but I think Joe and I both know it became more than that. We started to get to know each other again and we became close again.

" No he's not. He loves me."

She rolled her eyes," Has he actually told you that?"

I smiled as I thought about Friday night right before we fell asleep. He told me he loved me. Even though he was drunk, he still said it.

" Yes."

She huffed," Fine, stay with your little boyfriend. Just know that when you two break up because he wants to be with his ex again, that I told you so. "

She got up and walked out the door.

I took a deep breath and went up to my room to lay down.

I decided to call Joe since I remembered he wanted to hear about today.

He didn't pick up.

That's strange, he always picks up?

I got out of bed and looked out my window to see if his car was there. Maybe he's busy somewhere.

What the hell is Justin's car doing there?

I ran downstairs and over to his house.

I knocked on the door and a few minutes it opened.

" Oh, Hi Caspar. I thought it was the pizza man." Joe scratched the back of his neck.

" Joe, is that the pizza?" I heard Justin's voice call from the living room.

" Why is he here?"

" We saw each other at the store earlier today and decided to hangout." He shrugged like it was no big deal.

" But I thought you didn't want anything to do with him?" I asked kind of sadly.

" And I thought you didn't want anything to do with Cara but you met up today at your house for a while. I saw her car." He crossed his arms.

I looked down," Yeah, I called to tell you about that."

" Well I don't care anymore." Joe stepped outside and closed his front door.

" I think it's time we end this fake relationship. It was a stupid idea." He said with his arms still crossed.

" But I thought we weren't gonna break up until after homecoming?" I asked.

" Homecoming got moved to this Friday so it's close enough. Now I need to get back to my guest." He turned to go back inside.

" Did I do something wrong? You seem mad at me." I asked frowning.

" I'll see you around, Caspar." He looked at me and I swore I saw sadness in his eyes but only for a second before he turned back around and went back inside.

Joe's POV

I walked back into the living room and sat down next to Justin as I fought back tears.

" Was that Caspar?" He asked and I just nodded.

" What did he want?"

My lip quivered as I felt tears escape my eyes," W-we broke up."

He pulled me into his arms and rubbed my back," Everything will be ok."

Justin ended up staying for another hour and we just watched movies for a little while which made me feel a little better in that moment.

I went straight up to my room and started to cry again when he left.

I'm so stupid for crying.

We weren't actually together.

I shouldn't care that Cara was at his house or if they get back together, but I do.

I hate the thought of them getting back together.

I sniffled and wiped my eyes before checking my phone after hearing it signaling I had a text.

Caspar: I don't know what I did but I'm really sorry Joe. I don't want you to be mad at me. Please call me when you can.

I sighed and dropped my phone on my bed while putting my hands over my face as I started to cry again.
