I Kidnapped Carson Lueders 2: Return of Cassandra

Cigarettes and Sleep

Sorry for the late update! 😁

Carson's POV

Everything was dark. I tried to get up but for some reason I couldn't. Then I saw her. Cassandra was standing next to my bed. And she was holding something. My heartbeat stopped when I realised what it was. It was a knife. She flashed an evil grin before stabbing it into my chest. 

I woke up, sweat dripping down my forehead. The same dream again?! I got back from the hospital two days ago and ever since then I've been having the same nightmare. I looked at Jordyn who was lying next to me peacefully. According to the clock it was 3am. Since I knew I wasn't going to get anymore sleep I got out of my bed, put on my hoodie and went downstairs. 

I dug through the cupboards and gripped my fingers around a box. It took a while to find since it was hidden all the way in the back. I then took out something cylinder-shaped from the box. I walked up to the back door and unlocked it. I then pulled out the lighter from my pocket and set the cylinder alight. 

I held the cigarette between my index and middle finger, inhaling and exhaling the warm gas.   Yes, I smoke. If you've been wondering how I've been coping with the whole Cassandra thing, here's your answer. I haven't been doing it for long, maybe a couple of months. You may not approve but, honestly, it really helps. There's been a lot of sh*t going down in my life and the feeling I get from smoking makes me feel so much better. And yes, Jordyn doesn't know but I'll tell her... eventually.  

I heard some footsteps behind me. I quickly threw the cigarette on the floor and shoved the lighter back into my pocket. "Carson?" I heard someone say scaring the life out of me. 

"You scared me J!" I scowled. She laughed then came and put her arms around me. 

"You smell weird," she scrunched up her nose. What am I supposed to say?! "And what are you doing here in the cold?" 

I laughed, "What is this, an interrogation?" 

Jordyn laughed too, "I guess not." I smiled at her as the breeze danced around me. That was a lucky escape! The atmosphere was entirely peaceful until...

"What's going on?" Jordyn suddenly shouted.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Ever since the whole fainting incident you haven't been yourself Carson!" She exclaimed. We hadn't brought that up for a while. And Jordyn didn't even know the reason why I fainted. She didn't know that I saw Cassandra, well at least I think it was Cassandra. I'm just being paranoid! Another reason not to tell her. "Answer me!... Please." Jordyn begged. I wanted to get out of this situation as soon as possible. 

"Why do you care?" I asked coldly and walked away. I left Jordyn standing there with her jaw open. What happened?! I had never spoken to her to her like that before! I wanted to go back but I restrained and instead walked upstairs. I must've seemed like such a dick, if only she knew. I was doing this to protect her. I didn't want her worrying about me. I love her and I'd never want her to feel how I do right now..

Disclaimer: Smoking kills people! Don't do it! And how have Carson and Jordyn been together for the whole story and never had a disagreement?! Well here ya go! Sorry, I'm just very anti-love! And if you thought this was bad there's still way more sh*t to go down!

Until next time and may the force be with you...
