Come with Me

Chapter 11: Dirfting Feelings

A/N:

(Pic of Cassidy to the side)

Hey, okay I know. I'm so so sorry for the long wait. I didn't intend on it being that long but I have seasonal depression and it decided now to kick in. So it has been making it hard on me to find the time or feeling to write. Especially since this is on a topic of love and I can relate to some things in the story, it's just been the hardest to find the will to write like I use to. I'm really sorry about the wait but I tried to make it really long and interesting to make up for that. Hopefully the next update won't be as long and nothing else will come in the way.

Anyways, thank you for being patient with me. It hasn't been the easiest but I'm trying and the support and love from you guys always helps. Thank you so much for all the reads and like while I didn't update and please continue.

Well, I'm going to stop now so you guys can read. Enjoy loves!

Chapter 11

Cassidy

I can't believe myself. Why would I do something like this? I'm going completely crazy. I must be going crazy because I never act like this!

Looking at my reflection in the mirror my hand grazes down my skin to a bruise mark that is no other's than Jace Hale. My hand slowly and lightly brushes over the hickey on the side of my neck. I can't believe this. I'm letting myself go. I need to get some type of control back. But I like this feeling. This rush that I get every time I step out of my boundaries. Every time I step out of my comfort zone. And maybe that's the reason I started drifting in the first place. Because I fell in love with the rush it gave me. The thought that I was doing something so wrong and forbidden. That the 'sweet' girl that no one really even knew had a completely different side to her.

Why I stopped drifting is a different story but I still love the thought of it. I keep on saying I'm going to go back to it. But every day I think I am, the fear of it and what it can do to me comes rushing at full force, just like the speed of the car, and I find myself throwing the covers over my head in fear.

My mom went away on an emergency business meeting. So it's just going to be me here alone for the next three days. She also finally dropped this new curfew I had since she said, 'You're doing really well with it and I know I can trust you.' Like I haven't been before. I roll my eyes at the thought.

I hear the doorbell ring and so I hop the stairs to get it. A grinning face stands before me as I open the door. I give a small smile before my face turns to meet the floor all of a sudden getting shy. I know what happened last time when we went out and I'm not sure if I can afford to let the same thing happen again. Then again there's that thing in the back of my head, down at the bottom of my heart that is shoving me towards him saying 'go for it.'

I feel a strong finger under my chin pushing it to meet his eyes again. Jace's eyes narrow and the green embers in his beautiful hazel eyes sparkle. They look so breathtakingly beautiful and there is just something about how he's staring at me right now. How his eyes glare with some type of crazy passionately sincere emotion. And I can't help but to think that he's standing out on a ledge trying to get to me just as much as I'm holding on to the railing afraid to jump off.

He hesitates to say anything and I stare back into his eyes absentmindedly trying to find some words for the both of us. "Ready?" he asks dropping his finger from underneath my chin. And just like that I'm shaken back into the real world. Yet, I can't get over the way he was just staring into my eyes. How they looked so caring. Or how they just stayed attached to mine for a second longer than they should've. Or maybe I'm just a girl dreaming.

"Yeah," I manage to stumble out. I grab my keys from the small glass table by the door and close it behind me. We walk out to the driveway when he takes my keys right from my hand.
