One More Chance. Chapter one
Cassandra smiled as she pulled into the parking garage of her boyfriend's law firm. She was excited about surprising him with lunch from his favourite restaurant.She was looking forward to seeing him today so she could finally catch up.Since Johnathan had been working a lot of extra hours lately, trying to make partner at his law firm and she felt like she hadn't seen him much at all for the past several weeks.He'd been so busy with work that they barely took time to spend any quality time together as a couple, so she hoped he would be free for lunch today.Cassandra bounced across the parking lot toward her boyfriend's office building feeling the warm, late spring sunshine on her face.As she neared the building, the doorman greeted her, "Good afternoon Miss Miller."The doorman, Mr. Wilks, was a heavily bearded old man with very little hair on his head. He greeted everyone and was always polite and respectful, no matter how lowly they were."Good afternoon Mr. Wilks. Beautiful da

Cassandra reached the parking lot and threw herself into her car, and drove off in a frenzy, screeching tires as she left. Weaving in and out of traffic, Cassandra sped toward home with a heavy heart.Once she arrived safely back home, she parked her car and ran inside to the refuge of her little two-bedroom cottage, and threw herself down onto her bed.The tears came fast and hard, flowing freely down her cheeks like waterfalls. They fell silently onto her pillow, staining it, as she buried her head into it.Tears for a guy she had spent two years of her life with, only to find him entwined in the arms of his trashy assistant.The weight on her shoulders felt like it was crushing her, as her chest heaved and her eyes burned and stung. She was sobbing so hard that it felt like someone had taken her soul from her body and was trying to wring the last vestiges of life out of it.She screamed at the betrayal that she had just uncovered. She was so angry she couldn't think straight, as ma

Cassandra awoke around noon the next day with a pounding headache and a queasy stomach. Those vodka shots did the trick for a good night's sleep but did absolutely nothing for her mood today.She slowly pulled herself out of bed and went straight for the shower hoping the hot water would have a therapeutic effect on her, both physically and mentally.After her shower, she headed into the kitchen to get some coffee when she found Eloise's note."Hmm, wonder what this is all about?" she thought.Cassandra dialed Eloise's number as she sipped the steaming cup of caffeinated heaven that would have her up and at 'em in no time!"Cassie... how are you feeling today?" Eloise teased upon answering the phone."Still not great. What's with this note?" Cassandra's curiosity was peaked."Well, you remember the band Blue Moon that we loved when we were in high school?""Oh... yeah! How could I forget? Geeze, we must have listened to them every single day after school. What about them?""They are d

The next few days dragged by in a numb haze. But, when Cassandra awoke Friday morning, she finally felt happy about the concert later that evening.Though she still felt so heavy-hearted over heartbreak, she knew going out with Eloise was going to be good for her.She spent the next several hours catching up on her work, returning calls and emails; so that she didn't have to deal with anything work-related once Eloise came over for pre-concert cocktails later that evening.Cassandra took a quick break to make a snack when she heard her text message indicator chime on her phone. She just knew that it had to be Eloise checking in on her and finalizing the details for their night out.To Cassandra's surprise, it was a text from Johnathan.She had not heard from him since a few days ago and had thought he had finally got the hint and given up.Boy, was she wrong."Cassandra, I miss you so much. Please call me... I want to see you. I really want to try and work things out. Can't we start o

An hour later, it was finally Cassandra and Eloise's turn to go into the room, and the short gentleman from earlier came to the door and invited them in."Hello ladies, I'm Max Pittman, and I'm the manager for Blue Moon. Follow me right over here."When they reached the large room, Cassandra could see the band members, and her eyes shot instantly to Jason Cole.Eloise was right; he was still as gorgeous now as he was years ago when she first saw him on television. She could see him chatting with his bandmates, Andy and Kyle, smiling away as he showed off his pearly white teeth and crazy sexy dimples.Their attention turned to Max and the girls as they approached, and Cassandra caught Jason's eyes as they walked toward them. Before Max could even start introductions and get the process started, Jason spoke up first."Hello, I'm Jason Cole." He said in a deep voice with a sexy British accent. He stuck his hand out for Cassandra to grab, and at that moment, he just about took her breath

The girls took their seats, which were just inches from the stage. Cassandra could see every detail of the opening band's instruments as the stage crew brought them out onto the stage and set everything up. She could see people shuffling about backstage getting ready for the opening performance."Wow, look how close we are, Cassie!" teased Eloise. "You can reach out and touch Jason from here!"Cassandra was now feeling rather ecstatic to be seeing him perform in person, and being so close to the stage was definitely a plus!Especially after meeting him in person just an hour or so before. Thoughts of their meeting earlier that evening crept into her head, and she couldn't seem to shake the image from her mind of that gorgeous face smiling down at her.She quickly brushed it off as she figured it was just the after-effects of meeting her former teen crush.(•)As the generic background music faded out and the lights dimmed, the murmur of the chattering crowd grew quiet in eager anticip

When the band finished up the last song of the show, the crowd went crazy and screamed at their loudest. Cassandra and Eloise were screaming right along with them, this had been such a phenomenal and memorable night, and Cassandra didn't think it could get any better.After the encore, the band members walked up the front of the stage and did their last bows for the night, thanking the crowd.As she realised this was the end of the show, Cassandra felt a sudden feeling of disappointment. It seemed to have flown by so quickly.What were hours, in reality, felt like minutes, and Cassandra wasn't ready to leave this magical place. She wasn't ready to return to the real world.Along with the rest of the happy fans, Cassandra clapped and screamed her appreciation for the band. Wanting to enjoy the last few seconds of seeing Jason live and in person, Cassandra kept her eyes locked on him.Cassandra was left speechless when Jason looked down at her and blew her a kiss just before he ran offs

Cassandra had gotten so caught up in the moment that she had completely forgotten about Eloise who had been silently watching the entire exchange from across the room.Glancing over at her friend, Cassandra saw Eloise smiling from ear to ear, not saying a word at this point."Well, I guess I had better get a move on before the ol' boy cracks the whip on me." Jason joked.He took Cassandra's hand and slowly brought it to his mouth, and laid an ever so gentle kiss on the back of it. "It was such a pleasure meeting you today, Cassandra."The soft kiss sent shivers down Cassandra's spine and awakened a fire deep down in the pit of her being.She could feel her skin grow hot under his soft lips and could only muster a soft-spoken, "You too," as she watched Jason grab his few belongings and head out of the dressing room."See you, Eloise, it was nice meeting you as well." and with that, he was gone.In the silence, the girls were left to find their way out of the maze of hallways that Max h

' Gosh I'm so hungry' just then Ellie walked in with a bag of food in her hands ' Thanks goodness ' Cassandra said Eloise handed her the bag , she was ready to devour the food .

Cassandra gently stroked Eloise hair, she felt so weak and her call for Ellie could not be heard . Ellie tossed her head to the other side still sleeping, it dawned to Cassie that the unfamiliar room was the hospital. ' What happened ?

Jason sat in disbelief, he couldn't believe all that was going on . 'Is he dreaming? Or is he hearing words from Skylar correctly ?' He sat down speechless not sure of what to say . ' Jason, I want you to forgive me, ' she begged with her head down . Jason was shocked by her reaction.

what the heck are they saying right now?' He can't just leave Cassandra here all alone . ' i won't be going anywhere for now, ' Jason said with a frown. ' Jason , this is a decision that has already been made and finalized. Nothing can be done to change it ' one of the board members said ' And who finalized the decision ?' Jasonn questioned ' The whole entertainment board and your manager ' Jason looked at max who tried to hide his face . Gosh, who are they to mess with his life?. He owns his life and has every right to know anything before a decision is being made . Jason stood up in anger , made his way to the door but was stopped by Skylar who had been quiet all this while. ' Not so fast Mr Cole ' he stopped and turned ' This reporter here have an interview with us' ' God , what again is the bitch trying to get at? ' He was fed up of her madness.

Different reporters flooded outside his office, they kept asking the same question about Skylar's claim .

' the doctor will attend to you soon , I can't say much now. Please come with me to sign the file ' she handled Cassie's file to Ellie. Ellie was gloomy, she also needed medical attention, her head and feet hurt badly . Her face looked white and pale. She felt dizzy and fell to the ground. The nurse raced to help her up .

Nuella her manager jittery round to look for a mirror ``Here you go, ' she said, handing her the mirror. Skylar snatched it fast from her ' ohh ohh , I don't look too bad ' she said to herself.
