River.

Chapter 31: Queen Fuck Up

Cassidy's P.O.V.

I was sitting on my bed texting when I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in." I said.

The door opened and I looked up to see Max.

"Hey Scooter." I greeted him.

"Hey piccola." He replied. "What are you up to?"

He sat next to me and looked at my phone.

"Damn. Nosey much?" I laughed. "I'm talking to Legend. He won't stop texting me. He's not over our breakup yet."

"Want me to talk to him?" He asked.

"No way. Hell no." I quickly responded. "You're just gonna be a dick to him."

"Exactly." He stated.

"No Max. I appreciate the offer though." I grinned.

"Get River to shut him up then."

I looked at him like he was crazy.

"Um, have you met River? That guy has the biggest temper I've ever seen." I stated.

Just thinking about telling River that I was still texting Legend even after our talk gave me goosebumps.

"Speaking of River..." Max said.

I looked at him and saw a concerned expression on his face. "What?" I asked.

"So you two are official now?"

"Yep." I smiled.

"You sure about this Cass?"

"Of course." I replied. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well because I remember you crying to me just a few months ago about how you thought he was playing you."

"He's not. At least, I don't think so." I said with uneasiness. I quickly found my unsureness coming back. "Wow, thanks Max for making me paranoid again."
I put my face in my pillow and screamed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Its just that I know River more than anyone and I know how he thinks. I'm just as paranoid about this as you are." He stated as he laid down next to me.

"So what you're saying is that you don't want me to be with him...."

"No that's not what I'm saying at all. I just want you to be careful about opening yourself up to him so much. I don't want you to get hurt."

"I'm not gonna get hurt okay Max?" I said in annoyance.

"Hey, it isn't just me that feels this way."

"Let me guess Daniel doesn't want me being with River either?"

"Oh I don't know about Daniel. I was talking about Xander."

I turned my head to face him.

"Are you serious?"

He nodded his head yes.

"Why hasn't he talked to me about it then?" I asked.

"Because he knows how much you like River. And he knows that if he were to talk to you about it you'd get defensive like you are now."

"Well what did he say to you?"
I was really curious now. Xander usually always talked to me about things like this.

"He said that there's something about River that he doesn't like and for me to keep an eye on you two."

"Are you kidding me?! He hardly even knows River!" I yelled.

"This is why he didn't want to get involved. He knew you'd blow up like this if he told you how he felt about the guy."
