High School Never Ends

8: I Will Wait

Cason and I sat and cuddled for the rest of the day until my dad came home and I cried again.

"Ella. I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. I-I shouldn't have came over yesterday, if I just didn't co-" he started.

I pushed my lips onto his and he stop talking, he kissed back after a second and started smiling into the kiss. I pulled away and smiled at him.

"Ella... You didn't have to... I mean, not that I minded I just..."

"No, Cason. I made a mistake agreeing to date Carter. He's too mature for me I guess. I thought, i don't know." I said.

"I want you, Arabella Grey Hemmings, I know that you just broke up with Carter, and it's hard, but I'll wait, I'll wait for you." Cason says to me.

"I know, I'll let you try. I mean, not right now, but soon. I always liked you too, Cason." I say to him.

"Thank you Ella, I really needed to hear that from you."

I fell back asleep, I seemed to be doing that a lot lately and woke up about 3 hours later, and Cason is still there cuddling me.

"Hey." He says, booping my nose.

"Hey yourself." I say, booping his nose back. "What time is it?"

"Early, almost 4 A.M."

"Oh wow."

"Yeah, and I'm not even tired." Cason says.

"Me either. Hey! I've got an idea! Let's watch Drake and Josh!" I say pretty loud.

"Shhh. You're gonna get us killed, but yeah, I'm up for that." He says.

We ended up watching old re-runs of Drake and Josh until my dad woke up and made Cason go home, since he hasn't been home in like... 2 days, and I went to my bathroom to take a shower.
