My First and Only Love

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Cassandra:
    The next couple of weeks were kinda crazy. Mom was trying so hard to get "the three sisters" to get along. It wasn't going well.

Meanwhile, things at work weren't going smoothly either. I couldn't find a replacement for Rebecca and customers didn't like it. The restaurant had received too much bad publicity on the newspaper after court. Our best waiter/owner's son had sex with his principal. The best waitress was a liar. And the manager, aka me, was a poor little girl who didn't realize her boyfriend, also being the best waiter, was a player. It was all so horrible. Michelle was so upset.

And Charlotte and Samuel were not doing too great. Apparently, one of Charlotte's new friends told her that she saw him holding hands with another girl. I don't know if it's true or just more drama. Charlotte isn't really the best at choosing good friends. So, hopefully it's all a lie.

At the end of the day, I don't care. You know why? Because it's the last day of school. Nothing could go wrong. Summer was going to start and it was going to be amazing. I would still work at Michelle's Kitchen and in my free time I would go volunteer at a library. And, my other free time, I will spend time with Charlotte, Carina, and Gabriel.

Spencer and I had big plans for this summer while we were together. We were going to go on a road trip across the the country, just him and I. But, it doesn't matter. If we were to go on that trip, he would probably rape me. So, yes I'm good.

So as I walked into school that final day, I was convinced nothing could go wrong. As I walked into chemistry, expecting to be the first one there, I was surprised. Spencer was there before me? How is that even possible? Not even the teacher was here yet.

I sighed and took a seat. He didn't do anything surprisingly.

It was a short day. None of my teachers made us do work, thank god. I was so ready for P.E. It was the final class and then... summer! Ah, it all sounded too perfect. Until...

"Cas, I need to talk to you." "No you don't Maria. We haven't talked in months and I don't want to either." "Please it's about Spencer." "I really don't care." "Is it true that his new girlfriend is your... sister?" "How did you know that?!" "So it's true... the rumors are true..." "Shut up Maria. Why the heck do you care? Go fuck him and my sister if you feel like it. Leave me alone!"

"Cassandra... I'm sorry for what I did." "Yeah, well it's too late for sorrys."

Before returning to the locker room, Spencer grabbed my arm," We gotta talk." "I have an office and you have a shift today. See you there. Bye bye."

Yeah, neither Spencer or Maria would ruin my day. I walked to Michelle's Kitchen humming happily to a song. When I went into my office, there he was.

"Cassandra, it's important." "Ok, what is it Spencer?" I said taking a seat. "It's about Rebecca." "What about her?" "She... commit." I stared at him, no words coming to my mouth. "Cas... you are turning pale. Are you ok?" he asked grabbing my hand. "Yeah..." I nodded," I'm fine. What do you mean she commit?" "Exactly what I said. She was home alone and she stabbed herself." "That's horrible..." "Cas, there's more." "What? What more?" "She left a note... for us." "For us?" He nodded," Yes."

"What did it say?" "It said it was our fault. And she would haunt us until we die." I shivered," Lord please have mercy on us."

Michelle walked in," Have you guys read the paper? Rebecca, she-" "We know mom. I was just telling Cas the news." "It's so horrible," I commented. "Yes, yes it really is," Michelle said softly," Ok Spencer. Enough chit chat, go to work." "Yes ma'am."

I walked into my house exhausted. But of course, the day wasn't over yet. My mom, sisters, and Jacob were sitting around the table.
