A/N: If this is not your first time reading this, This Chapter has been entirely redone and the chapter that followed it was removed. I didn't like this particular part of the story the way I originally wrote it so I am going back in and fixing it. My writing style has kind of evolved since I published these books so it may read differently than the rest and I apologize for that. 
**10/8/20: I'm going to start adding gifs in chapters since I gave Kassidy a face claim. Thank you LostGirl2423 for making this awesome gif!

Killian POV 

David had called me to ask if I had seen Kassidy, and the last time, I had seen her was this morning when I left her at home to rest, which is where she should have been. So I took an early lunch to look for her, I had tried calling her cellphone but there was absolutely no luck. 

I was angry, I was worried, why couldn't she just listen for once in her life?

Because she's Kassidy Cole.. That's why. 

I swung back by the police station to check in with David to see if he had heard anything but as soon as I parked the car, I caught a glimpse of blonde curls in my rear view mirror. Upon closer look I realized it was the blonde curls I had spent the last hour looking for. I unbuckled my seat belt and got out of the car, slamming the door. 

"Kassidy! Where the bloody hell have you been?!" I demanded as she approached me and then I noticed that her eyes were red and puffy, and her cheeks were raw from wiping tears away, and me yelling at her, opened the floodgates as the tears started flowing again. I sighed and stepped up to her pulling her close to me. 

"I'm so sorry."  She said in a muffled sob as she buried her face in my shirt. 

"Don't cry love.." I said softly. "I didn't mean to yell, I was just so damn worried about you.." I added.

Kassidy looked up at me with her tear filled eyes and at that moment, I didn't care where we were, I didn't care who was watching. I Pressed my lips to hers, cupping her face in my hands I didn't know why, I just felt she needed that.

Kassidy pulled away and gasped. 

"Killian!" She hissed. "We're in public."

"I don't give a bloody damn where we are. I love you." I said and pushed a curl out of her eyes. "And now, I am taking you home." 

"You should get back to work.." She mumbled and looked away from me. Something was wrong. "I can get David to take me home." 

"No, I'll do it. I'll call in a sub. You are important to me right now, not the school."  I assured her, and led her around to the passengers side of the car. 

Once we were home, Kassidy sat on the couch in the living room and I went to make her some tea. She seemed very anxious, and upset and I hadn't even asked her where she went, what she was doing, I just wanted her to be comfortable. 

I walked into the living room with her tea and set it in front of her. She sipped slowly, her hands were trembling around the cup. 

"Talk to me love, whats wrong?" I asked. 

"I did something horrible." She replied and put the tea cup down and put her head in her hands. Now I was worried. 

"You're scaring me Kassi. What did you do?" I asked. 

"I went to see Graham." She admitted, and took a deep shaky breathe. "I couldn't just let him leave.." 

My heart dropped and my mind instantly went to the worst. 

"Did you cheat on me Kassidy?" I asked, however terrified of the answer I was, I needed to know. 

"I..well it depends." She sniffled. 

"No, Kass it doesn't depend. You either cheated on me, or you didn't.." I said and sat back preparing myself. 

"I kissed him Killian." She said so quietly I barely heard her. 

"I'm sorry?" I asked.

Kassidy stood up and started pacing. "I kissed him. I keep getting all these conflicting feelings and emotions.. and I'm acting on impulse and its driving me insane!" She spat running her hands through her hair. "I don't love Graham! I knew I didn't when I went to see Archie this morning, I knew I didn't when I went to see Graham but I still kissed him because of these hormones driving me nuts! They've taken the wheel, and my brain is just somewhere in the back seat and I can't take it anymore." Kassidy stopped pacing and started sobbing again. 

I stood up and wrapped my arms around her and she tried to push me away. 

"I don't deserve you.. You should hate me!" She cried. 

"I don't hate you Kassidy, I could never hate you.. You haven't been yourself for a little while now its just the hormones love." I said softly. I didn't realize how badly they were affecting her until just now and a lot of little things started to add up now. 

"You don't want to break up with me?" She asked. "You aren't mad? If its..over I'll understand. " 

"I'm a little upset that you went to see Graham, but I understand. He was your best friend and you didn't want to let him go. I'm upset, but.. ultimately I understand and the last thing I want to do is break up with you. I love you Kassidy we are far..far from being over."  I smiled and wiped her tears away. 

"I love you too." She said and put her hands over mine. "I'm sorry..I should have just let him go he was going to anyways." 

"He left?" I asked.

Kassidy nodded and sniffled. "He's gone." 

"You kissed him, and he still left?" I asked. 

"Yes Killian. I just said that." Kassidy sighed. 

I smiled and pressed my forehead to hers. 

"Foolish man, to just up and leave, the first time you kissed me I knew I wasn't going anywhere."  I grinned. 

Her lips curled into a small smile. 

"Maybe he was the smart one to run?" She asked and bit her lip. 

"Not a bloody chance."
