Cassa’s POV

(A week later)

When I woke it was dark, and when I tried to open my eyes they wouldn’t so I stayed still and listened to the conversation going on around me. Plus my head hurt so if I try anything it’s gonna hurt like hell.

‘How much longer is she going to be out for?’ Cai yelled. Why’s he yelling?

‘I have no idea;’ a deep voice replied calmly, ‘another week, give or take and her body is probably healing for the cut.’ Cut! What Cut?!

‘I know, I know,’ Cai sighed, ‘it’s just that,’ he pause and breathed out deeply, ‘it’s been a week and she doesn’t look like she’s going to wake up any time soon,’ Ok now I need to let him know I’m awake.

‘Cai,’ another deep voice called him as the other man left the room from what I could hear, ‘have some faith in her, she’ll pull through alright man,’ and I felt someone grab my hand and squeeze it in their own. Now would be a perfect time to let them know I was awake but I wanted to know who else was in the room first, like they say curiosity kills the cat.

‘Yea I know Braedyn,’ hey I know him, ‘I won’t forget, don’t worry.’ Took a deep breath and squeezed whoever’s hand it was I was holding and opened my eyes slowly to see that I was in a hospital bed with Cai’s face leaning over me and he squeezed me into a hug and I happily hug back as hard, while Braedyn called a nurse who came running in with a doctor to check if I was alright and I asked if I could go home so later that night I went home, and dad came running when I walked through the door and was crushed once again in a hug and I hugged back.

I later discovered that dad is getting a divorce from mum which I’m happy about, I hate that bitch!

Cai said there was a party happening at Hunter’s and we were invited and I happily said yes. I like Hunter he’s funny and really nice to me, in fact I like all of Cai’s friends they all seem to like me a lot but hey who arguing!

Since it was Wednesday I woke up, I got Thursday off of school to rest and went to school Friday.

********

Friday morning Cai drove me to school. The car ride there was quiet and started to get to me, I looked over to Cai and he had a death grip on the wheel, swallowing I asked, ‘are you ok Cai, you’re going to kill the wheel if you’re not careful,’ I joked.

‘I’m fine,’ he grunted

‘What’s shoved up your ass,’ I mumbled

He turned to me; ‘I just don’t know if it’s a good idea to....’ he trailed off

‘To what?’ I questioned

He sighed and turned back to the road, ‘I don’t think you should you know, be at school right now.’

As we pulled up into the school I turned to him, ‘I’ll be fine,’ I assured him, ‘I’ll be careful.’ We got out of the car and I hesitated before walking in the school gate, which had Cai raising an eyebrow and we walked in and we walked to the door without any hassle we stepped through the door and Tia came running and crushed me in a hug, knocking the air out of me. Cai didn’t leave my side, not even for Kimberly, only when I got to homeroom did he leave me.

********

Later, at lunch we were seated at our usual table, laughing, eating and talking did Ryder come up to me, lowered himself onto a chair and turned to face me, ‘hey Beautiful,’ he purred, ‘what happened to cause your pretty little face to get a cut like that?’ He questioned, I just stared at him blankly.

‘I have no clue what you’re on about, Ryder,’ I replied confused

‘Ryder don’t,’ Cai warned from behind me

‘Why,’ he asked confused as well

‘Because she...’ he trailed off and then gestured for him to follow him and I watched as they walked out of the cafeteria.

I turned to Tia and Kimberly, ‘what happened,’ I asked

‘I don’t know,’ Tia replied quickly, too quickly if you ask me. They’re hiding something.

‘What happened,’ I pressed and they glanced at each other and shook their heads and turned to face me only I wasn’t there, I was walking out of the cafeteria door passed Ryder and Cai who were giving me a confused and concerned look, which I just ignored and walked into the girls bathroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cai’s POV

When I saw Cassa storm past Ryder and I and I couldn’t help but watch her walk past confused and then when she walked into the girl’s bathroom I knew what was happening and started to chase after her but she was too far away. Then I heard a very loudshriek come from the girl’s bathroom and that could only mean one thing she’s looked in the mirror. Uh-oh, she stormed out of the bathroom and looked around and then her eyes landed on me, this isn’t going to be pretty.

‘WHAT THE HELL,’ she screamed at me, ‘WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME!’

‘Because you would have freaked out,’ I replied, trying to make her see reason, but this is Cassa we’re talking about as in not happening

‘YES, I COULD HAVE, BUT I COULD HAVE HANDLED IT, I COULD HAVE TAKEN IT,’ she yelled, 'what kind of brother are you?' she questioned, she turned around and stormed off, when she passed our table, she flipped off Kimberly and Tia. I could only watch as she walked out of the school and down through the gate and I sighed, it’s not my fault, it’s dad he didn’t want Cassa to be upset about something mum did, so I went to go find Braedyn I found him in the library.

‘Hey, man,’ he called when he looked up from the book in his hand, ‘sup!’

‘Hey, it’s Cassa,’ I replied, this got him interested, ‘you know how at the hospital she got that cut?’

‘Yea,’ he asked caususly

‘Yea, dad said not to tell her,’ he nodded, ‘yea Ryder asked her about it and I went to go talk to him about it, he’s cool about it, then something happened at the table between the girls, she stalked into the bathroom and she must have looked at her reflection, she screamed and blamed me.’

‘And,’ he questioned

I looked down, ‘she’s not going to talk to me if I know her right, so I need you to go get her before she does something stupid,’ I looked up pleadingly, ‘please, man?’

‘Sure,’ was his resopons

‘Please... wait what?’ I asked confussed

‘Dude, listen,’ he chuckled, ‘I’ll go get her, you know where she would be?’

‘Ummmm....,’ damn where the hell would she be?, ‘the pier maybe?’

‘Right,’ he looked at me and then packed his books up and left.
