- Cassie's POV -
It's Tuesday, the day I tell my mom that I'm pregnant. Ever since I broke up with Damon, he's been calling me and texting me non-stop. I cry most of the time ad when I do, Andy's here to comfort me and spend time with Adam and Caroline. Damon would come over and try to apologize and get me back, but Andy would yell at him and slam the door in his face. Caroline misses him but it doesn't stop her from hating him. Adam, though, hates him with the passion and tried to get Kyle, Andy, and his friend David to beat him up. I'm so bored in my math class right now. I can't seem to concentrate with all of these thoughts in my head. This is one of the classes that I have Damon in, along with my four best friends. Usually, Damon and I sat together in the back with Andy and Char in front of us and Kyle and Piper next to me. Now, Andy sat next to me, Char and Piper in front of me and Kyle on the other side of me. Damon sat on the other side of the class and would stare at me, his eyes filled with many emotions and Andy would give him a glare putting his arm around my shoulder while Damon got jealous and looked away. The rest of the day was boring as usual. When I was walking towards my car I heard someone call my name and sure enough it was Damon.
"What? What could you possibly want?" I said crossing my arms on my chest. He tried to get closer, but I didn't let him.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I don't know why I did it. I was being stupid. Can you please forgive me?" His eyes were pleading, but I can't. I shook my head and looked down.
"No. You said you loved me, you promised you would never cheat on me two years ago when we started going out. I loved you so much and you did this. I have to go. I don't wanna leave Caro waiting." I said looking up at him. He just nodded sadly and walked away. It hurt to see him walk away from me, but what he did hurt so much more, I'll miss him a lot. I'll finish school here then me, Adam, and Caro are moving to Washington. I don't want to be here anymore. I picked up Caroline and drove to the bank to see how much money I had to support us.
"Mommy, I wanna go home. I don't wanna be in my carseat anymore." She whined while kicking her legs softly.
"Caroline, just wait. We'll be home in a bit, I have to check something important alright?" I tried not to raise my voice at her and lose my temper. With that, she stopped and kept quiet while I checked how much money I have. $4,453.59. That's not bad, I thought to myself. It's enough for all of us including the baby. I sighed in relief and drive home. When I got home my mom's car wasn't there, which of course worried me because she's always at home by this time. I tried not to think much of it, maybe she got caught up with work. Yeah I thought to myself, that's what it is. I carried Caroline in because she fell asleep on the way back. I laid her down gently on her bed and tucked her in with her teddy. I walked back down the stairs and found a little paper on the counter. It read,
My dear Cassie, I love you very much.
Always remember that, I decided to leave because I can't keep staying here with you and the kids. I want you three to live without me and have a better life. I have left you money. It's in the drawer of your vanity. Tomorrow you have to go to our lawyer because you have a meeting with her to get full custody of Adam and Caroline. You three practically live without me so I will just make it into reality. I'm not sure where I'm staying, but I will be in California. I love you very much sweetie and I'm terribly sorry for not doing my duty as a mother and friend. Never tell Caroline that I'm her mother, you were a better mother towards Adam and Caroline than I ever was. Keep it up, hon. We will see each other again, sweetie, someday. I love the five of you with all my heart. I know you're pregnant, hon. The way you eat more, the slight weight gain. I'm sorry for leaving you in your time of need. But I know that you're strong and you don't need me there to hold your hand through this. You can use your money from your bank account as of tomorrow. Happy early birthday, sweetheart. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Take care, I love you. -Mom
