Forever or Never?

Cassandra's POV ||

So I decided to drop out of high school. Yeah i know so smart. I won't probably get a good job or even get into college. I'm almost 19 so I can just apply for college and just go from there I'm gonna apply for UCLA in California and University of Missouri to become a nurse. Since my dad was a firefighter I wanted to be something like him so I could have like a connection with him and my mom.

I just really hope I get accepted. It would be a dream come true to be able to become a nurse.

Anyways, I'm going to talk to Austin today at the ice cream place down the street from Alex's house. As I got out of my bed the sunlight burned my soul. Since my mom was murdered I haven't been out or seen the sun, that was like a week ago.

As I got up I opened up my door and bumped into someone. It was Alex we really haven't spoke since that fight we had over text message when Austin was in the hospital. I know it was kinda stupid but it is what it is.

"Hi" I spoke softly.

"Hey" he said warmly and walk past to go downstairs.

His mom mad breakfast but I was to depressed to eat shit. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle. And was gonna exit the kitchen but I got interrupted.

"Cassandra I know your upset about what happen to your mom but you gotta eat something" Alex's mom spoke up.

"I'm fine" I spat.

"Just eat something please" she pleaded.

"No just leave me alone" I said and went back upstairs into my room.

I jumped into my bed and pulled the covers over my face. I was drifting off to sleep when my ringtone started going off.

"If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy, if our loves insanity why are you my clarity" my phone sang.

That ringtone was Austin's.

I literally screamed into my pillow because I was so tired and my stupid phone woke me up. I answered to phone on the fourth ring.

"Hello" I spoke softly.

"Hi Cassandra" he said.

"What's up" I asked.

"We still on for 3:30 today" he asked.

"Yup, but how bout you come over cuz honestly I'm not In the mood to go outside...ever" I said. He chuckled.

"You have to come out sooner or later Cassandra" he said.

"Never" I said.

"Whatever" he said.

"Can I go to sleep now" I asked.

"Sure Cassandra" he said annoyed. Eh whatever.

To lazy to deal with him or anyone difficult as a matter of fact right now. I'm so freaking out of it.

"See you at 3:30" he said and hung up.

I just went back to bed so freaking out of it. I really didn't feel like doing anything. But then I remembered why Austin was coming over because he thinks I'm moving to Pennsylvania I decided not too so I'll tell him that but right now I need sleep.

~ 3:30 ~

I woke exactly at 3:30 and there was a light knock on my door. I quickly rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Come in" I moaned pulling the covers over my face.

The door slowly opened and closed. It was silent it didn't feel like anyone was in my room. I removed to covers from my face and saw Austin opening my curtains. The hell man?

"The fuck" I groaned pulling the covers back to my face.

Austin took the covers and sat next to me on my bad. Since he was sitting on my only escape of the world I decide to just sit up in my bed. I looked the opposite direction he was in I could feel his attention on me.

"Are you moving to Pennsylvania" he broke the silence.

"Nah" I said.

"Why'd you change your mind" he asked.

"Because I don't wanna go to college there" I said.

He was about to say something but I cut him off.

"I dropped out of high school so I could just go to college" I said.

"What. How do you even plan getting into college without a high school diploma that's like a requirement" he said.

"I know it's crazy but it's worth a shoot I mean I'm sure you still can get in with one" I said.

"Yeah but it's probably likely" he said.

"Whatever" I said. Honestly I'm done with all this bullshit I have a headache and I can't deal good lord.

"Since you dropped out I'll drop out too" he said.

I literally looked at him like he had 5 eyes. Is this boy crazy?

"Austin I'm not gonna let you give up your education because of me that's ridiculous" I said.

" I know but that's how much I love you" he said lacing our hands.

I felt a smile crept on my face.

"Still I don't want you to have a bad education" I said.

"You don't really need a education to be a singer" he said.

"Touché" I said.

I mean he was right you really don't need a education to be a singer you just gotta have the talent and your set for life.

"I wanna give you something" he said.

What he said captured my full attention.

"What is it" I asked.

"I mean I really wanted to wait till Christmas to give it to you but I couldn't wait any longer" he said.

What? I'm so confused right now. He's getting me a gift right now while I'm looking like shit. Well certainly it will be a day to remember wont it?!

He grabbed both my hands. I kinda has a feeling of what was coming but I wasn't sure if I was ready for it. Marriage.

"Cassandra Ann Parks ever since I met in first grade I thought you were the most beautiful thing ever and I know me and Alex really hurt you in the past but I hope we can all move from that because I wanna spend forever with you which is why Cassandra Ann Parks will you do the favor in marring me?" He said taking out a ring and getting on one knee.

Honestly I don't think I'm even ready to get married. But it's Austin and I love him so much if it was someone else I would have probably said no. I felt tears in my eyes as I quickly nodded my head up and down and jumped into Austin's arms. We've both been thru hell and back and now we're getting married. I don't plan on getting married until like I finish collage or maybe it could be a possibility in 2 years or so.

"I love you Austin" I said and kissed his lips.

He pulled away and wiped my tears with his thumb and said

"I love you too" he said.

And in that moment it occurred to me that I marrying thee Austin Carter Mahone. My best friend, my hero, my soul, my everything.

I knew we would be forever.
