Perfect Nightmare

Chapter 29

Two things are running in my head right now. One how am I going to deal with everyone when I get to my dorm and two why did I kiss Brent? If my mind could just properly answer these two questions for me it would be perfect.

I didn't let the kiss go any further last night I pulled away quickly and moved far away from Brent. Yes I find him attractive but I didn't mean for a kiss- it just happen. I can't tell the future.

I snap out of thoughts when my phone started ringing. I quickly pick it up looking at the screen.

Cecelia.

I walk out of the room that Brent let me stayed and into the bathroom. I closed the door behind me as I pick up the phone with hesitation. "Hello."

"Where are you? We were supposed to meet about an hour ago." She says through the phone as I hear someone ask her for an order.

I look at the time on my phone. Shit!

"Just give me the address of the place you are I'll meet you there."

"I'm at the cafe next to the diner, you know we're it is."

"Yeah I'll be there in fifteen minutes." I hang up the phone leaving the bathroom and walking to the living room.

Brent was in the kitchen making breakfast. He looks up at me when is reach him. "Morning."

"Morning." I smile at him. "I sorry to say this but I have to go. My mom just called me asking if I could watch my brother and his friend." Okay so a little white lie isn't going to kill anyone.

"Oh you sure you can't stay for breakfast." He asks.

"I'm sorry I can't."

"Okay uh I'll drive you-"

"At my house." I not taking the chance of going to my dorm. There is no way I going to have to explain myself when I don't have too.

I don't even know if I should even talk to Cecelia. She could just lie to me about everything again.

He walks to his room after a while he comes back with a hoodi in his hands. He hands it over to me as I thank him. We leave the apparent and make our way to the car.

"I'll make it up to you, I promise." I tell him when he opens the passenger door for me.

"You better." he smirks while walking over to his side. I give him directions to my house as we drive off.

I look at my phone seeing I had seven missed calls from Colton and five missed messages. I put my phone away as Brent drives us away to my house.

Once we reach mu house I thank him and also tell him I would give him back his sister's clothes. I waited for Brent to leave as I walk inside the house with the key that was under the mat.

I walk inside the kitchen where my mom was. She looks up from the bowl that she had in her hands smiling at me. "What are you doing here?" Her hair was in a ponytail with batter on her white apron.

"I...I just needed some new clothes." I scratch the top of my head.

"Was that Colton who dropped you off?" She asks putting the bowl down. She looks through the window.

"No it was someone else." I say as she frowns at me. "I love the new kitchen, it's beautiful."

"Don't change the subject." She folds her arms over her chest. "Did something happen between Colton and you?"

"What makes you think that?"

"Sweetie I know you." She walks over to me. "You push you problems away without thinking about the other person's feelings."

I push my hair out of my face. "I just don't want to be hurt again mom. He's so aggravating and stubborn."

"Just like you."

"Yeah, well I'm going upstairs to change before I leave." I give my mom a kiss on the check before walking upstairs.

I lock the door before taking off the shirt and leggings that Brent lent me. I walk to my bathroom and decided to take a shower. Once in the shower I wash my hair, clean my body ad shave.

As I turn off the shower I grab the towel next to the sink and wrap it around my body. I put on the blow drier on as I dry my hair. Looking at my hair I think it is time for me to change up my hair style. Maybe later I could just go to a hair salon and cut my hair. I walk to my room putting on a white bra with matching panties, after that I put on a white long sleeves top and a pair of jeans and my dark brown boots that go up to my knees.

I grab a jacket that was in my closet and walk down stairs. "Hey mom can you wash these for me I'll be back to pick them up." I show her the clothes. She nods her head.

I say bye to her as I walk outside seeing the cab driver outside waiting for me. I get in giving the old man a small smile as he returns it. I tell him were to take me and he drives off.

I look at my phone when it buzzes and I roll my eyes. Looking at the caller ID. "This is Cassie's phone so if you kindly stop calling maybe she won't me tempted to kill you, bye" I hang up the phone on Colton who was yelling back at me but I had to attentions on listening to him.

"Boyfriend?" The old man who is driving asks as I pick up my head looking at him.

"It's complicated." I say. What do I consider Colton as. Are we just friends, two people who like each other. I chuckle at that. crib liking me yeah right.

"Maybe you should try figuring it out."

"Yeah no offense mister but I don't think you know what it's going on between us too."

He nods his head. "That's true ma'am but I do have five daughters who always talk about their problems around the house."

"Five daughters." I say.

"Always wanted a boy but never did have one." he chuckles as smile on his face. "But I would do anything to help them out."

He stops the car at the cafe as I smile at him while paying. I get out and walk inside looking around for the brunette that is sitting at the table next to the widow. I will over to her and take the seat opposite from her.

"Are you just going to look at me like you want to kill me this whole time?" She raises an eyebrow at me.

"I think I just might."

She lets out a sigh. "do you want anything to drink, it's my treat."

I look down at the menu she pushes over the table with a half smile on her face. "Why are you being to nice?"

"Because I can."

Bullshit.

I pick up the menu ordering myself a caramel latte. The waiter leaves and I was about to tell her to sit next to me just incase Cecelia tried something on me.

"I need to tell you something about Ben that you didn't know." she says.

"What can it possibly be?"

"He's crazy."

"I think we all know that, Cecelia."

She shakes her head. "No Cassie that not what I meant." she runs a hand through her hair. What is she talking about. "He used to take pills in the beginning of freshmen and sophomore yeah but after that he stop taking them everyday and only once a week."

My eyes widen and my jaw is probably on the floor. "What are you saying?"

"Ben has mental illness."
