You made it all better

Some talking

I wake up and I really want something to eat. Masy jumps on me, she wants something too, so I give her food and we eat together. It's 10.30am, I don't often sleep that long, I'm lucky that Masy can go without peeing for a long time. When I'm dressed I take her for a walk, enjoying the silence of the morning. I see someone running in the distance. The person comes closer and now I can see that it's Cassidy, she's wearing a hoodie and her hood is over her head. I instantly feel the urge to talk to her so I call her name.
"Cas!"
She looks up and wants to turn around but I run over to her, Masy loves it she thinks it's a game.
"Cas, come on. Please talk to me now."
I'm almost crying. She looks at the ground. Masy is jumping up on her and she pets her.
"Cassidy I'm sorry. I swear."
Now she looks at me.
"You're sorry? I should be the one that's sorry. I can barely look you in the eyes. I feel so bad about the way I reacted yesterday. Like it's all your fault, but you didn't do anything wrong. Boys I like just don't like me back. I should be sorry."
I was so glad that she said this, because I really didn't know what else to say.
"Oh Cas, don't apologise to me. I know how much you like him, I can see it. I told him I just want to be friends, but nothing more. And I want to be there for you, Cas. You're my best friend."
She smiles.
"I'm still sorry, though. That I needed to talk to my mom first, before knowing that you didn't do anything wrong."
"That's okay. I understand, I really do."
"Elena, thank you for being my best friend."
I smile, we hug each other. Than we say goodbye and I walk home. I still haven't told her about Damon, because it still doesn't feel like the best moment to tell, and also, there's still not that much to tell. But I feel like I need to talk about him to someone, I understand what Cassidy means. In this moment I really want my mom to be there and just listen, this is when I miss her the most. But I'm lucky to have an aunt that I can talk to, so I decide to call her when I get home.
I'm being called, it's dad.
*Hey dad!*
*Hey pretty girl, how are things at home?*
*Everything's good. Masy's still alive and I am too, that's what's most important.*
He laugs.
*And how are things over there?*
I hear Rose laughing in the background.
*Everything's so good! That's actually why I called. We wanted to stay one week longer, if you're okay with that of course?*
Wow, one more week on my own. That would be cool, maybe I could hang out with Damon more.
*Yeah, of course! I'll survive. And I'm glad you're having fun.*
*Okay that's great! Call me when you need anything, but you knew that already. I love you!*
*Love you too dad, give Rose a kiss.*
*I will.*
*Bye.*
After this phone call I call Jamillah. I tell her about Stefan and what happened and how I feel. Her words help me het calm and accept it. I even tell her about Damon and how I feel, I've never felt something like this, but I don't dare tell him, not right now. She gives me advice, she thinks it's for the best if I don't tell him how I really feel yet, because Stefan is his brother and it could make things complicated. She tells me to wait for a better moment, but she also tells me to hang out with him anyways, because I'll get to know him better. I feel so much better after this conversation. I finally feel like I can breathe normal again. I go to my bed and put on my tv to watch Netflix. I just start the next episode when I get a text, it's from Damon.
*Wanna finish that pool game? I'm ready to beat you.*
*Like, right now?*
*Yes, it's 3pm. Or do you have more interesting things to do?*
I guess not, right. I've watched enough Netflix for today.
*Okay, sure. I'll be there in half an hour.*
*Good. Drive safe.*
That puts a smile on my face. I take my car and start driving to his house.
