All Chapters of Mighty Long Fall: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Cassie"Sorry, I promised you that we'll go out today but I got you babysitting my brother instead." Toby apologized as he prepared the food in the kitchen of their house.Thing is, I told Toby I'd like to give him a chance but it's just a matter of time before I could make him give up. I mean, they all do. As soon as I give them the cold shoulder, they all lose interest. And I don't like that. Yeah, I know. It’s mean of me to ignore them after giving them hope but they only knew the good side of me in which they all fall for. But not everything about me is good."Sis!" Boogey came running down the stairs and almost tripped on the last step. Luckily, I caught him. I don't think I could do the same for his brother.Zeus was six. He used to say he was the boogeyman, that's why I called him Boogey. He was a sweet little thing. He looked more Japanese, like their mother. Toby, on the other hand, took after their American father."Do you like cake?" He said

MatthewThe following weeks flew in a blur. We had a series of lives in different areas, sort of like a mini tour, and we're either on the road or practicing. We barely even have enough time to rest but I didn’t mind since we loved what we were doing. It doesn’t even feel like work for me, it was our passion."Here," Cassie said, tossing us each a bottle of water. I almost didn’t catch it but thankfully I gripped the bottle just in time to avoid embarrassing myself in front of the girl I like. Landon finished his in a few gulps. His shirt was soaked so Cassie placed a towel in his back so he won't get sick. She looked like a mom tending to a child. Clark was topless (as usual) and Kasey was stretching his legs out. My hair was already damp with sweat so Cassie wiped my hair with a towel. Good thing I was sitting down because I wouldn’t know how she would reach my head if I was standing."Are you okay?" Cassie asked. She was frowning. We just fi

Matthew"Stupid Matthew!" Clark scolded standing next to my bed. "What would we do if something happened to you?""Clark's right," Kasey added, without his usual jolly antics. "We were all very worried. We thought you won't wake up.""Ouch," he cried when Landon slapped his head."Stop talking like that," Landon scolded. "You sound like Matthew's almost dead.""Calm down," I told them quietly. The sound of their voices combined is making my head hurt. "I'm fine. Alright?""Thank goodness Cassie was there, everyone's just running around and shouting." Landon said, peeling an orange. The scent instantly filled the room. He's right, I remembered the commotion that followed right after I fell down. It was mass hysteria."She's amazing. She even knew first aid!" Landon continued.Yeah, right! He was the one who did nothing but shove his face on mine when I was hardly breathing."Well, that's Cassie for you." Clark said, just like a proud fathe

Cassie"Where are you?" Mel frantically asked from the other end of the line. "Hurry up, Matthew's going to be here soon."Right. Matthew finally got discharged from the hospital after a week of confinement and everyone's preparing a 'welcome back' party for him. I wasn't able to visit him frequently so I sent Mel instead. Besides, I know Adam is keeping an eye on him and he'll definitely tell me if anything happens. It was really nice of him to comfort me when I was having a breakdown. I wanted the earth to swallow me every time I remember what happened. Adam was such a nice guy not to mention it. Maybe I should give him a thank you gift."Don't worry. I'm on my way." I chuckled as I placed my phone in my pocket and went to lock the door of our shared apartment. A warm breeze blew as I quickly tread down the flight of stairs. Spring's just around the corner and the flowers will soon be in bloom.Maybe it's the good weather, or probably because Matthew's finally

Cassie"Looks like somebody's in a good mood today." Mel commented as I entered the kitchen. I didn't even realize I was humming until she mentioned it. After last night, it felt like a something heavy has been lifted off my chest."What are you doing?" I asked her. It's no use trying to deny it, it's probably written all over my face."Duh, isn't it obvious? I'm cooking." Mel rolled her eyes at me. As if being in love suddenly made me dumb."I can see that." I stuck my tongue at her. "What are you cooking?" I asked her again."I'm making a bento." She replied, carefully slicing the egg rolls."Want me to help?" I offered. The horror in her face was hilarious."But you don't cook." She stated."I don't cook, but that doesn't mean I can't." I smirked at her. "Come on. let's make some for the guys, too.""You know what, you're right." Mel nodded. "Those guys are probably tired of instant food. They're too busy to even cook.""Okay, you
