Part 6

I got up from the couch and followed Tom out the door.
"Cas wait!" I heard Harrison yelling from behind me.
"What's going on with Tom?" I asked him.
"I don't know, I don't really think you should be talking to him right now though" he said trying and to pull me back inside.
I pulled away and ran over to Toms house.
I knocked on the door.
"Hello?? Tom??" I yelled.
He opened the door.
"Tom what's wrong?" I asked as I stepped inside.
He shook his head and sat down on the couch.
"Nothing Cassie it's fine" he said as he pulled out his phone.
"Why did you turn around when we made eye contact?" I asked him.
He waited a bit to answer and cleared his throat.
"So um, you and Harrison?" He asked.
"Yeah, yeah why" I was really confused.
"When did this happen" he asked.
"Just tonight." I said looking down.
He stood up and tried to walk away. I grabbed his arm,
"Tom can you tell me what's going on?" I asked starting to raise my voice at him.
"ITS HARRISON!" He yelled back.
"What about Harrison??" I said as I started to tear up.
"Cas. He's just using you" he said as he got closer to me, staring me down.
I looked down and shook my head.
"What do you mean he's 'using' me?"
He pulled me onto the couch and sat me down.
"We were at a party the other night and he was dared to ask you out. Everyone said that you would say no but he tried to prove them wrong" he said as he picked my head up.
"No no no. You're lying!" I yelled
"Cas I'm not lying to you. I told him that it was wrong since you've never had a real relationship before. I told him not to but he told me to fuck off" he said.
I stayed silent for a bit. I didn't cry. I just thought to myself about how I thought I really was something. About how I really was a person and that I mattered in the world.
"Cas..." tom said trying to look at me.
I just sat there not saying anything.
"I'm so sorry darling. If I could've stopped it I would've" he said putting his hands on my shoulders.
"I-I think I need to go" I said standing up. He followed me out and into my house. I saw Harrison sitting on the couch on his phone.
"Cas are you okay?" He asked standing up.
"DONT! JUST DONT! GET OUT!" I yelled pointing towards the door. Tom was standing next to me.
"Love what's going on." He said running over to me.
"How could you? I said as the tears started to fill my eyes.
"YOU WERE MY FIRST! Why did my first kiss have to be on a dare? And with a douche bag!" I yelled and I got closer to him.
His face got red as he found out I knew.
"Cas I'm-"
I cut him off.
"No. I don't care what you have to say. Just get out of my life" I said pointing to the door." He put his head down and walked out.
Tom ran over to me and gave me a hug.
"I'm so sorry that this has to happen to you" he said as he was rubbing my head.
