Opposites Attract

Chapter 30

                                                                 "The Before Party"

Cassandra’s POV:

            I woke up and stretched out in the bed. Last night me and James had traded rooms. I didn’t want to be near Nathan. He kept trying to talk to me but I kept walking away and ignoring his calls. I wished that he would just get the hint and leave em alone for a little while. I didn’t get what is problem was anyway. This is what he wanted to begin with.

            I slowly climbed out of the bed and walked over to my bag. I grabbed a pair of shorts and a tank top before walking into the bathroom to take my shower. I was trying to be as quiet as I could for Sophie. I turned on the water and looked in the mirror while the water was warming up.       

            I looked bad. I couldn’t deny it. I had spent most the night crying my eyes out. It had hit me after I laid down. I felt the pressure come back in my chest and I couldn’t help the tears. Sophie had stayed up with me and she tried to comfort me. It just wasn’t working. I couldn’t make the pain go away.

            I climbed into the shower and felt the muscles in my body just relax. It felt nice. Eventually I worked up the energy to finish the shower and step out. I got dressed and pulled my hair up before walking back out into the room. Sophie was still sleeping so I just put my dirty clothes back in the bag and grabbed my phone.

            I walked outside went over to the little park section. I had spent a lot of time there last night. Yesterday was a good day to though. At least Justin and K.J. were together now. They were so cute together. It brought a smile to my face just thinking about it. I was over the moon when K.J. told me last night.

            “Cassandra,” I heard. Only one person called me that.

            “What,” I asked.

            “Can we talk,” Nathan asked as he came up beside me.  

            “Sure,” I said with a shrug as I looked forward. I couldn’t bring myself to look at him.

            “It’s about yesterday,” he said.

            “What is it,” I asked.

            “I didn’t mean what I said,” he said.

            “Yes you did,” I said with a sigh.

            “I really didn’t. I love you so much. I don’t want us to break up,” he said.

            “We’re already broken up.”

            “We are,” he asked.

            “You did it yesterday,” I said with a blank face.

            “I want us to get back together,” he said as he touched my hand. I quickly pulled my hand back from his.

            “No,” I said.

            “Why not,” he asked in a hurt voice.

            “Maybe you were right,” I started.
