Ch. 6 Mother knows best.

Chapter six: Mother knows best.

Cassie's Pov

We had arrived at the party more than two hours ago and the night still felt young. I noticed Kellin, Gabe and Justin were in a heated discussion about who had survived longer without showering during tours when they were younger as Jesse shook his head and laughed at their Childish friendly argument. Between the laughter and talking about the old times, it was so nice to get away from work and the house for a little while and reconnect with our friends... Our family.

Although we see each other at work, none of us have the time to sit around and just chat. We're either running around getting errands done for the company or we're taking care of our families. I almost laugh at how more complex our life is now, than it was twenty two years ago, when it was just Kellin and I. But I'm not complaining because I know that things could have turned out so much more differently if it wasn't for our will power and love.

I looked over to where Juliet was, and smiled as I found her sitting down talking with Jorge. My heart felt broken to see my little girl get hurt because of love. Knowing that she had lost not only her long term boyfriend but her best friend tugged my heart. I wish I could tell her how much I understood her. How much I knew how that pain felt. If she only knew the struggle I had to go through just to be with her father. If I could tell her that, maybe she would gain the confidence to move on.

I shook my head, that is a story that I will never tell her or my boys. It was a story of triumph and great grief, but I chose not to burden my children with my past. I know our close friends and family know what happened and they know not to tell my children. Kellin and I had discussed so many times about whether or not to tell the kids about how we fought for our love... About how I fought for my life and Alex's life. To tell them our complete love story was something I was not willing to do.

Kellin is always in favor of telling them but I am simply not, and he respects that. All they know is that we met at warped tour and since the fan date we were history. I smiled to myself. And that's all they needed to know.

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Kellin's voice.

"Cassie, honey, I want to introduce you to the new head technician for the label I was talking to you about a while back." He said intertwining our hands as he guided me slightly over to the right, where a young man who had his back turned towards us as he talked to Tony.

"Thellieo!" Kellin said putting his free hand on this young mans shoulder.

As soon as he turned around my heart suddenly dropped. I felt my hands grow cold and my heart beat a little quicker. He looked so familiar... His facial features, his body language... his eyes. His eyes were so familiar I could almost see him in them! That wasn't possible though, no... No.
"Cassie, I want you to meet Thellieo, the new head tech. for KCQ. Thellieo this is my wife Cassie." He introduced us.

His eyes landed on mine and I could see... nothing. His presence was warm, but his eyes screamed danger.

He smiled at me as he extended his hand to shake mine.

"Thellieo... What a nice name." I said in a cool tone as I shook his hand.

The moment our hands touched I felt instant warning signs go off in my head. My heart screamed to back up and run. But why? Why was I feeling like this?

"Mrs. Quinn, it is an honor to finally meet your aquatints." He said kindly in a thick British accent.
Everything about him screamed trust me but there was something in his eyes that held a much deeper secret that held much mystery.

I smiled at him and pretend to be flustered, "Why thank you Thellieo, you're making me blush." I said faking my smile.

He looked at me pleased.
