{Oh my gosh. My school just blocked Pinterest. And I was gonna use it to find more quotes with the word "step" in it in order to continue the series later on. Also- nearly four hundred views! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!}

Cassandra sighed.


She was up in the middle of the night, and she was hanging out with Varian. She had told him her crazy-insane news, and now...


She wasn't sure what to do.


But, she supposed, she didn't necessarily need to know what to do. What she needed was to know that someone was there for her, and she got it in the form of a young teenager- almost an adult- named Varian.


"So... Var?"


"Yeah?" he asked.


"What- what do you think of this situation?" she whispered, trembling a little.


She wanted to know the answer, desperately wanted to know, but then again... she was kind of scared to see what his reaction would be.


"Cass... I know it seems impossible; we've been thrown off our track," he said after a little while, "but... no matter what happens, Cass, I'm always right here for you. I love you, and if it- being with you, loving you, whatever- means I have to make room for, in your words, 'situations' like this, then I'm willing to do so."


"Really?"


Varian nodded. "Really."


And with those affirmations, Cass knew: he was for sure about this.


She had someone she knew, loved, and trusted- and he was right there by her side.

{Sorry for the short story part. Got out of school early because homecoming parade is in an hour or two and I'm in it for French Club, but I really wanted to update and add just one more chapter before the weekend, when I have to be offline... More next week, I promise!}
