Okay so the song at the top doesn't always have to do with the chapter, sometimes it does, but sometimes it's just a good song that I think would match the book well. Listen to it, don't listen to it, it's up to you. I just think it's good music so why not include it. Also apologies to the normal people for my emo ass because half the songs will probably be emo on some level.

Cassandra's P.O.V.

Ash left my room two hours ago. He assumed I was asleep. He'd sat with me for an hour as I just laid on my bed. I felt bad because he looked exhausted, so I forced myself to stay still for a while until he thought I'd fallen asleep. He left soon after that.

I can't sleep. I keep thinking about what happened and then I keep worrying I'm going to panic again.

It's just a big mess.

I sigh and decide to get up and turn on my tv and PS4 (P.S. XBox sucks ass). I'll probably just play rocket league to take my mind off of it all, maybe I can forget and fall asleep.

Lucky for me, the pain is beginning to subside. The bath helped a lot as well as the painkillers I took. Man, I'd kill for some weed right now. Sorry to those who don't like it but seriously, don't knock it till you try it.

I gently sit back on my bed and move the pillows against the wall so I can lean on them. While the game loads, I stare outside. The night is beautiful, the stars are bright and the moon illuminated everything in the yard.

The game soon loads and I play well into the morning hours before passing out with the game still on.

I wake to the sound of a knock on my door.

"Yeah?" I call out.

"It's Hunter." His voice sounds from the hall.

"Come in," I check my clock and groan at the hour, it's almost 7 AM.

"I'm surprised you're awake." He says as he walks in and sits at the chair by my desk.

"Funny thing, I wasn't." I scowl at him, "so what did you want?"

"The guys are thinking about going to the amusement park, you interested?" He asks. Before I can respond, he speaks again, "You alright? Something seems off."

His twinsense must be setting off an alarm. That sounds so dumb but I'm not sure what else to call it. He's always been so good at seeing when something was off with me.

"Yeah, I'm good. What did you think was wrong?" I laugh. I don't want anyone finding it what happened. I'm upset enough that Ash knows, but I guess it's good I have one person who knows the truth.

"I don't know. Something just feels wrong. You sure you're good?" God I hope he can't tell I'm lying.

"Yeah, I swear. Now stop being weird," I say.

"Okay, okay, I'll drop it. Now, about the amusement park, you in?"

"Sure. When are we leaving?" I ask, turning over and slipped out of bed.

Hunter shrugs, "Like an hour I think. Is that cool with you? I'm sure we can wait longer if need be. I don't think anyone is in a serious hurry."

I shake my head, "An hour is fine with me."

"Okie dokie." He says cheerily.

I find myself cringing at that, "Why do you have to be so weird?"
