Cassidys POV
"You don't need to be sorry, Colby. But, we can't do this behind Crystals back" I sat with a strong but kind tone
"I know I know. I just... I don't know what came over me" he says rubbing the back of his neck.
I felt bad for yelling, but he shouldn't cheat on Crystal.
"What now?" I question looking genuinely in his eyes
"I guess, we pretend... it didn't happen" he says as his body hangs low. He looked immensely sad.
"Yeah... I think that's for the best"
Rosey looks at us both. She looks disappointed. She looked at me and gave me a sad smile. I knew she felt horrible for us.

How am I supposed to go back home and face Crystal now?!?
I can't tell her. It will brake her heart!
But she deserves to know!
My head was spinning. I got up and looked out the hospital room window.
Rosey was resting in the hospital bed, and Colby was asleep on a chair in the corner.
Outside the window was the city. It was lighting up the whole sky.
Even though it was midnight, the sky still shined a dark shade of blue.
The stars were not visible at all. When I was a little girl, my family lived in a rural kind of area.
I always remember getting up at midnight and looking out the window to the sparkling stars. They were so much brighter.
Rosey used to get up and do that too. Sometimes she would come into my bedroom and we would sit and watch the stars shine in the sky.
Those memories made me smile. They were a time when I was happy.
Before Crystal
Before Colby
Before any of this
Before I stopped being happy.
Just me, Rosey and the night sky.
Those memories were sacred. The ones I will always cherish.
