“Dibs on the remote control!” I yelled out while racing Penny to the couch. I jumped over it and landed on my butt with both hands raised.“Incoming!” Penny shouted behind me and I didn’t think twice before rolling over to the far end of the couch to give her room. She did a small flip and landed back first on the sofa, having the breath knocked out of her in a huff.I grabbed the pillow and threw it at her before grabbing the remote from the coffee table. My parents were out on a dinner, dad’s been talking about it the whole day. I heard they were going on a candlelight dinner on a ship or something; oh well.“Case, some help?” Adam’s voice came from the kitchen and I excused myself from Penny, hauling my ass off the comfy couch and made my way to the kitchen.“Yo, what do you need help with?” I greeted him unceremoniously, leaning on the door. We were having a sleep over to celeb

Chapter 52

“We’ll get him back, Case. I know we will. He won’t let you go that easily. He’ll come back to us and if he doesn’t, we’ll get him to,” Preston sounded so determined that if I wasn’t there myself, I wouldn’t believe that he was the douche who implied I was just another toy his brother would discard after he gets bored of me.My hands rubbed my face, wishing I could just rub all the worry and anxiety out of my system.I knew I should be grateful instead of hating the situation. At least I would still get to see him. Even though he wouldn’t remember who I was, I would still remember who he was and that was supposed to be enough.To even imagine him waking up and look at me as if I was a complete stranger was enough to cause the ache in my heart to reach its peak. I didn’t want to lose him, not after what we’ve gone through.Through the hospital window, lighting flashed and a th

Chapter 53

Once Cassandra was out of sight, Dom slipped out of the dark corner he was hiding in and knocked on the door, slipping into Adam’s hospital room. He closed the door silently and tensed up once he heard the voice of the man that stole his Casey’s heart. “Who are you?” Adam’s voice was terse. The sight of this unfamiliar man was unnerving and an unfamiliar feeling kicked in; his head played out ways on what to do if this guy tried something funny. Dom had always been convincing and he had always had that charisma that drew people in so it wasn’t hard for him to smile to Adam and greet him like they were best friends. “Bro, you scared the shit out of me. Don’t do that, man!” Dom scolded jokingly with a grin on his face but the alarms were going off in Adam’s head kept him on edge. There was just something about this man that sets him off. His memory was hazy and he couldn’t reme

Chapter 54

I straightened out the blue graduation dress and fixed the slightly out of place cap. Looking around for any familiar faces, I fidgeted with the rope that dangled off my graduation hat, trying to shake the nerves out of my system. ‘Bravo, Case. You’re able to street fight like you’re cycling but you can’t even walk with your back straight and a confident look on your face in these heels,’ my conscience chided me. I sighed, my brain’s right, this is stupid. Get a grip, Case. It was like ever since I left that hospital, everything in my life fell apart and everything that I’ve planned perfectly was shredded. I was no longer the same Cassandra. After everything that has happened, from being the small little girl who was lost in this world to that girl who fought through life, I have been reduced to simply being that girl who’s trying to survive. My mind decided to wander off to the previous night w

Chapter 55

“Call me when you get there,” I hugged my mom tightly. It’s been less than a week and they’re off to another trip. I let her go and smiled, moving to embrace my dad next. “Take care of yourself, Princess. We’re proud of you,” he whispered, kissing my temple. I smiled when I heard his words, squeezing him even tighter and trying not to lose my balance while standing on my tip toes. I kissed his cheek before I let go and watch them turn to walk into the airport. They turned to look at me for a final time and waved. When they disappeared behind the glass doors of the airport, I got back to the car, closing the trunk on my way to the driver’s seat. I’ve got a long drive ahead. An hour of continuous humming and singing, my throat felt parched and I pulled up into a convenient store to get myself something to drink. Locking the car, I jogged into the store under the light drizzle that had st

Chapter 56

I woke up to the light buzz in my pocket and a sore neck. I reached around under me to find my phone and finally got a grip on it, answering the call without looking at the caller ID. “Hello?” My voice was groggy and raspy from sleep. I squinted through my drowsy lids and saw the sun just about to rise in the horizon. I didn’t dare straighten my legs, knowing that they’ll feel stiff from being folded all night long. ‘If my back is in this much pain, God have mercy on my legs,’ I thought silently with a wince while trying to stretch a little. “It’s me. I just wanted to tell you that we finally managed to calm the idiot, knowing you’re probably worried about him,” I heard Preston say into the line and I immediately perk up at that. “Is there a park nearby where we can meet up? I think it’s going to be better to not talk about this over the phone,” I replied and I coul

Chapter 57

I was starving; full out roaring stomach style. All I could remember about the dinner I “ate” last night was the food that I barely touched before Adam waltzed in and kicked me out. Wow, I actually felt more offended by the fact that he kicked me out before I got to actually eat anything than the fact that he kicked me out, period. So there I was, sitting alone in a depressed looking corner of a depressed looking restaurant with a depressed looking table on a depressed looking chair, feeling depressed. My hoodie was covering my face from view and it gave me a sense of isolation and privacy, if that even made sense. A waiter came to take my order and I spent 3 whole minutes just going through the menu because nothing looked appetizing enough to eat. Goddamit stomach, make up your damned mind. Finally, I settled for a Bolognaise spaghetti and blanketed mozzarella with french fries on the side. What can I say? A girl’s gotta

Chapter 58

“Next time, I’m driving.” “There will be no next time,” I growled out in annoyance. It wasn’t my fault Jake was pushing my buttons. He did, after all pop out of nowhere. Not to mention that he stupidly decided to bring Monic along. “Come on, Case. You can’t be mad at him, I bribed him to come with me and you can’t blame me for being worried. The last time we saw each other was during Carla’s funeral. Then there was that incident and you completely pushed everyone away. Is it wrong for me to want to spend some quality time with my cousin?” Monic ranted and I sighed, resting my hands limply on the wheel. “That’s not the problem, Mo. This could barely passes as quality time we are in a street-fighting competition, an illegal one, might I add.” She and I both knew that this is far from being a normal quality time between cousins. God knows how freaked out I was wh

Chapter 59

Getting out of the car, I ignored Monic’s protests and questions. I remembered what Preston told me and it was enough to convince me that this wasn’t the Adam that we knew. “Jake, drive and don’t look back,” I told him sharply. He looked at me as if I was crazy. “What about yo-” I shut the car’s door before he could ask another question and I shot him a look that made him turn the car and drive away. This man wasn’t my Adam and I won’t let him hurt anyone I love. He was after me so I knew Monic and Jake would be safe as long as they weren’t anywhere near me. I narrowed my eyes at him, glaring at the man before me darkly. “What do you want?” I asked into the night, knowing he could hear me loud and clear. I was hurt and if he was going to pick a fight with me, I would lose in a nanosecond. But Bryant has always told me that if I’m going to go down, I shou

Chapter 60

I veered around the big crowd, annoyed at all the elbowing and shoving. I grimaced in pain as another elbow dug itself against my bruised side. Damn uncivilized baboons. Two can play that game. I sucked in a sharp breath and dove into the pool of nauseating body odor. I kept my head down and elbowed my way, shoved whoever shoved me even harder. Annoyed Casey is not a very nice acquaintance. When I finally managed to eject myself from the rest of the crowd, I stopped walking for a while and took my time in catching some needed breath. The humid air surrounded me, sticking to every part of my exposed limbs, The smell in the air was contaminated with the smoke from car engines and the lit cigar of a near bystander who was leaning on a pole, talking on the phone while smoking on the cigarette he held between his fingers. The sound of an oncoming train filled the station and people hollered for each other in the midst of the crowd. They hustled th
