*Cassandra's POV*

"So did you go and pick up Chloe and then the boys?" I asked. I put my phone in my purse. The car was filled with the sound of chattering and John Legend.

"Well actually Chloe was the one who told me she was at the hotel with the boys and had asked me if they could come." Gemma explained as she drove through the busy traffic. I turned back watching as Chloe and Calum smiled at each other and flirted like it wasn't even noticeable.

Couldn't they keep their PDA to a minimal?

I coughed loudly and Chloe looked at me. I smirked and winked before looking at Katie, who was being a snitch and looking down at Michael as he smiled at his phone screen.

"So your brother came by earlier." I said mindlessly as I turned back to the road, shaking my head.

"Oh. What did the idiot do now?" Gemma asked, turning quickly to me then at the road again.

"Nothing Gems, he just came to say he was sorry for everything." I said smiling at her. She turned to me for a second, and I hadn't expected the frown that she shot my way.

"Wait everything? As in 5 years ago everything?" Gemma asked, she mad a right and near the mall.

"No." I said and frowning in thought. I mean I know it wasn't his fault he left, he left chasing his dream though I still feel that weird thing in my heart and in my chest. He was my friend though, and although he had broken my heart

'He left without a care in the world about you.' A voice in my head said. I looked out the window as Gemma waited for a parking space to clear.

"So what'd you say?" Gemma asked as she started to fix herself in the small space. I cleared my throat, suddenly feeling the car silent.

"I accepted his apology of course." I said unbuckling my seat belt. Gemma snorted, as she stopped the ignition and turned to Chloe with a smirk.

"Cass that's your problem exactly." Gemma said crossing her arms and turning to look at me.

"What?" I asked looking at her.

"That you're to kind. You forgave him after he left you and now he comes back like nothing happened." Chloe jumped in. I rolled my eyes.

"It's not his fault." I blurted and suddenly regretted it. Dammit! Ugh. I got out her car as fast I could. I couldn't stand all this closure. So what if I forgave him it wasn't like I forgave him everything. He knows this well too. Right?

I mean I only accepted his apology because we were only going to be friends, only friends. Best friends is probably the only thing our relationship can escalate to.

Then I felt that pang in my heart. That pain that made my head fill with flashbacks, of me crying in my pillow every night.

Of me in the bathroom with my head in my arms.

Of me throwing everything in a trash bag. Every picture. Pictures that would fill my heart with coldness because his goofy grin and smiles wouldn't help my already torn heart. Every dress, and every detail that reminded me of him.

Of me packing everything that night.

I looked at my shoes and shook my head. God, did I just want to get a hammer and hurt myself with it. Maybe then I would gain some sort of common sense.

"Cassandra he left you on your date without a care!" Gemma yelled as she walked around the car to my side. I huffed needed some time alone.

The problem with being crowded was that everyone always made me double check everything. They made me think back about everything too much, and it didn't help my frustration a lot.
