Cassie's *POV*

"Write to him, Cass!" my older sister, Alice, tells me. I shake my head, avoiding that suggestion.

"No. I am not writing to him, Alice! I tore our friendship into two! He told me not to look back and that is what I am doing!" She crosses her arms, rolls her eyes, and chuckles.

"Are you really THAT stupid, Cassie?!" I bite my lip then look away from her.

"Just stop. It's done..."

"That was ten years ago!"

"Ya, I know! You sort of screwed things up more when you went and dated him for a year after he left!'

"Oh shut up, Cass. Just write him. Text him. Email him. Anything! You have been falling apart these ten past years. I think this is the right thing to do. Just listen to me." I roll my eyes and turn to my computer.

"Fine. I'll get a hold of him." Alice nods.

"Good," She hands me my phone and heads to the doorway of my bedroom, "Here's your phone. I'll see you later."

"Thanks," I mumble as I get up, walking to my bed, and grabbing my phone, "Where are you going?"

"I am going to a Bastille concert. DUH!"

"Why don't you just have me go back stage and talk to him there?!" I yell throwing my hands in the air. My sister throws a ticket and a backstage pass at me.

"Here. But I want you to give him a heads up notice, okay?" I nod and sigh.

"Okay." Alice smiles and nods.

"Good. We are leaving at six. Be ready. And remember, give him a heads up."

"Alright."

"Thank you." And with that, she walks out of the room, laughing slightly.

Dan's *POV*

"WHAT?" I yell to my ex girlfriend and best friend on the phone, "You're kidding me right?" I beg to myself that this is not true.

I hear her on the other line, "Yes, Dan. Cassie and I are seeing you tonight and we have backstage passes. I plan on the two of you to piece things back together. Wait, didn't she tell you? I told her to give you a heads up notice." I chuckle.

"No. Come on, Alice. It's Cassie. I have forgotten about her years ago until now! And I know she has forgotten about me, and if she hasn't, she probably hates my guts."

I can just imagine Alice's head rolling back in hysterical laughter as she laughs at me on the other line. A sigh escapes my lips as I wait for her to stop, "Fine. J-Just fine," I pinch the bridge of my nose and shake my head, looking back up. I continue, "Just get here early, you idiot."

Alice giggles, "Fine. I'll let her know we will be there at least an hour and a half before the show."

"Okay, bye, Alice. See you then." After that, I pull the phone away from my ear, and hang up. Next to me Kyle bites his nails and smiles, trying not to explode. But obviously, he fails. Kyle jumps up dancing and singing.

"OH! DAN HAS GOT A DATE WITH CASSIE!" He shouts at the top of his lungs. I can hear Will and Chris laughing as they sit on the curb outside of the tour bus.

"Come on, Kyle," I wine, crossing my arms, "We all know that Cass is going to fuck things up." Kyle laughs.

"YOU CALLED HER 'CASS'!" He pokes my shoulder and continues his dance, "ONLY THE DAN THAT WAS IN LOVE WITH CASSIE CALLED HER THAT!"

"Until he became a bastard and torn her in two." William mumbles from the doorway. My head shoots over at him as he steps in with Chris following behind.

"At least I like to have some fun, William." I huff. Will chuckles as he sits on one of the seats by the left window. Chris leans against the wall, picking at his nails.

"Someone is jealous." Kyle chuckles. Chris' eyes shoot up and his cheeks turn a bright rosey color.

"N-No."

"Man, we all know you have had a 'small crush' on Cass since you laid eyes on her ten years ago." I tell him with a smirk.

"Ya, right after I watched you break her heart." Chris huffs.

"That makes no sense."

He shrugs, "Whatever." We all end up laughing then taking seats by the windows. Kyle and Chris on the right side while William and I chatter away about tonight on the left.

Cassie's *POV*

"You didn't tell him." Alice walks into my room with her arms crossed over her chest. I turn away from my computer to look at her.

"Ya. I know."

"Well why the hell not?! I told you to tell Dan!"

I shrug, "And I told you that I don't want to talk to him." A smug look forms on my face. Alice scoffs and grabs my wrist, pulling me up, and turning off my computer.

"Let's go. We are leaving."

"But we still have two hours!" I complain.

"Dan wants us there early, Cassie." I huff and stomp out of the house with my sister following behind. She looks at me up and down as we get into the car.

"No money? No Bastille shirt?" Alice asks. I shrug.

"No. I don't want to encourage him."

"But what about Kyle, Woo-"

"Them too."

"Why are you mad at them?" She keeps asking me. I buckle myself and stare out the window as Alice backs out of the driveway.

"Because they never bothered to call."

"Cass, they're famous."

"I don't want to hear it."

"Fine. I'll shut up." She follows her word. Alice doesn't speak for the rest of the car ride.

As we near the theater, my heart races. It beats harder and faster than I had expected. When we get there, and park, I try to control my excitement. I have no clue why I would be excited, but I am.

And then, out front of the theater I see him. Dressed in a gray jacket and white converse, I see him.

Dan.
