Almost Lovers

Prologue

Cassie~

Only Ryan knows how to cheer me up on days like these. My parents won't stop arguing and I'm scared. I know they don't feel anything but resentment for each other anymore, the only reason they're still in the same household is because of me and my sister Ellie-May. There's ten years between us but I don't think any other sisters could be much closer. But back to the point; I've been on call with Ryan for 7 hours now and god does he know how to make me smile. He knows I've been through a lot in my life, especially after I lost my brother, Martin, in a car crash two years back. He's been talking to me about nonsense and I'm so happy for that.

School starts again tomorrow, after 8 long weeks, I'm in my final year, and then I have to start thinking about College; I so want to attend a music school but I know I'll never be good enough so there's no point in me trying. Oh well, you know what they say, a girl can dream, and you never know, maybe this year will bring some changes for me, for better or for the worst...

Ryan~

This girl means so much to me, that much in fact I missed hanging out with Kelly to talk with her. Kelly's my girlfriend and to be honest, she gets a little too clingy; she knows how close I am with Cassie and that we've been best friends for the past eight years, but sometimes I think she forgets that I'm always going to be there for the both of them just, not at the same time. I hate seeing Cassie upset and it kills me inside.

We have no secrets between us, except well, one. There's something bothering her and she's always off on her own but I don't know why. She claims it's just because she gets annoyed with most of the people around her (she says it's obviously not me) but I know that isn't just it. It's not like she's a sister to me because well, I had a little crush on her before I met Kelly; or more, Kelly met me. But she's the closest thing I've got, my other half. Nothing matters more than when I can hold her; see her smile, I remember she was nine and I was ten when we met each other, messing around at the skatepark. Now for a nine year old she sure could skate, she slowly lost interest as she got older, but I never did. How could I? If I'd never got into skating then i wouldn't have bumped into her on the half-pipe. When I skate it reminds me of everything about her, her hazel eyes which look perfectly glazed over in a sunset, her smile, is just so beautiful, like the rest of her. Her shoulder length soft, brown coloured hair, I used to always braid it for her in early years of secondary school, god that made me laugh. If I ever lose her, I won't be able to live

So anyway school starts again tomorrow, it's the final year and gosh am I glad. People say that your final years are the best but, after last year that hasn't proved to make its point just yet. I heard we've had a new guy join -poor kid!- fancy joining a new school in your last year, i wouldn't appreciate that, his name is Ashley something, only reason I know is because I have to show him around the school. Maybe he'll get along with Cassie, she claims she'll never fall in love but sometimes I think it's what she needs, just, she'll always love me more but nothing more than a best friend way, that's the way I love her...right?

Okay so hey, this is my first time writing a story so it isn't really that good. Please let me know what you think of it so far. Chapters will be pretty short but if you want me to continue with the story I'll try to update them atleast once or twice on most days. Once again let me know what you think of the story, bye <3
