Because I Love You |✔️

[25]• Dealing with it☹️

Cassie Mallet

"I'm sorry about all this," Jake apologized as we both stood outside my front door. I sighed and rested my head on his pursing my chapped lips. "You know she did this one purpose right?" Jake chuckled gently, his eyes lighting up as they looked into mine "As much as she would like that, theirs no way my manger Dave come up with this not her".

"Just cause he's your manger doesn't mean you have to listen to him Jake," I sighed suddenly feeling depressed. "Cassie, Dave's been my manger for years, he's never put me wrong! Jake smiled lightly before continuing - "I might not like some of his decisions, but he's right being back with Cecile will be good for me, my image my career the fans will love it and so will the paparazzi."

"So what your saying is, i'm not good for your image?"

"No, of course i'm not saying that Case, it's just Cecile she's a star in her own right, she's a teen scarlet, and put both of us together and suddenly everyone's interested, everyone wants a piece of us, the reporters go mad trying to get an exclusive, when your a young actor the more attention you get the more you get noticed the better you understand what i'm saying?"

"Oh, It's crystal clear!" I snapped pushing him away from me "I'm a nobody, and she's a somebody, she's famous and i'm not! is that it Jake? i'm not good enough to be seen with you?!"

"Cassie, C'mon you know that's not what i mean! He sighed frustrated.

"No, that's exactly what you mean your just putting it in a different perspective".

"Cassie" Jake whispered reaching out for my hand, i flung my hand away and stared at him fighting back tears, why can't he see how much this hurts me? doesn't he care how him being with Cecile make's me feel?

"Cassie, He repeated trying to catch my gaze, damn him and he's brown eyes. "It's not because your not famous, it's because i want to keep you all to myself, i don't want the media to play with your mind and take over your life Cassie, you don't know what its like to have paparazzi follow your ever move, reporters to document your every word.." He trailed off his long fingers tangling themselves in my hair. "Your just starting out, and i know you going to be as big as whoever you want to be, but right now it's better if you just stay quite." And with that Jake kissed my cheek, an electric feel burning threw my cheek when he had.

"I'll see you tomorrow okay?"

Rubbing the spot on my face he had kissed, i looked at him wide eyed and sighed once again falling victim to his charms. "Okay." I agreed. He nodded his head and backed away disappearing into the night.

A small smile crossed my lips as watched the spot Jake disappeared into. And i suddenly realized theirs no need for me to be jealous, he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I shoved the key into the lock and opened up the front door stepping into the warmth of my house. "Dad, i'm home!" I called threw the hall way as i UN-buttoned my coat and flung it over the stairway. I didn't get a reply though the house was UN-usually quite. I felt along the wall looking for the light switched to shed some light on the subject finding it i flicked it down and the hall light up. "Dad?" I repeated stumbling into the living room. Silence dead silence.

"Surprise!" Dad burst almost scaring the life out of me. But there he was standing in the center of the living room with a big chocolate cake in his hands and the word "Congratulations" rite across it. The smile on my face couldn't have got ton any bigger than it already was. I wrapped my arms around him and planted a soppy kiss on his cheek. "Thanks Dad, you didn't have to but thanks."

"Of course i had to, i'd do anything for my little girl." Dad grinned wide giving me one of those proud parent looks.

"I'm not a little girl anymore," I smirked eyeing him admirably.

"Maybe not anymore, but you'll always be my baby girl no matter how big or tall you get."

"I love you Dad," I smiled wrapping my arms around him once more embracing him in a loving hug. "So, lets dig in i've been waiting to try some of this cake all day!" Dad chuckled making his way into the kitchen.

I lied back on my bed my head sinking into my soft feather pillow as i looked at my glow in the dark star filled roof. I was thinking how i was going to deal with Cecile being around Jake, and there whole fake relationship deal.

I can't stand her. She's vile. How he ever dated her in the first place is a mystery to me, i mean she's pretty okay very pretty, prettier than me for sure... but she's manipulative, sly... just plain nasty. Or is she only like that to me? i don't understand why she has such an huge dislike towards me in the first place i mean i've never done anything to her, yes i'm seeing Jake i understand he's her ex but it's not like they were getting back together he moved on and she needs to just let go."
