Chapter 1: The BreakUp
The words were blurry so Casey closed her eyes and her sight focused on her history book. Mr. Curtis was reading from the book but Casey wasn't even paying attention. She was so hot, all sweaty but it was December and the school's heating ventalition sucked, so it was always cold in the school. Why am I so hot, Casey thought?
The bell rang and Casey got up from her seat. The room spun around and Casey put a hand on her desk so she wouldn't lose her balance.
"Are you alright, Miss Casey? You don't look too well, here's a pass for you to go to see the nurse," Mr. Curtis said.
"Thanks," Casey said and walked into the hallway.
Now she was so cold, she wished she hadn't put her sweatshirt in her locker. So she walked to her locker and put her books away and grabbed her sweatshirt. She put it on and walked towards the nurse. She saw Derek surrounded by some girls and Derek's arms waving around. Derek saw Casey and he smirked at her. Casey rolled her eyes at Derek's childish behaviour and kept walking.
All of a sudden Casey's vision swam before her and she could feel herself falling. She heard her name called and strong arms catching her from her fall. Then the blackness engulfed her.

Casey's eyes opened and she looked around her bedroom confused. She couldn't remmeber anything until her stomach made a weird noise. She remembered her vision all blurry and her fainting. She remembered her name being called from her boyfriend Max.
Her door opened and her Mom came in with a tray. She set the tray on her nightstand. Her mom sat on her bed and stroked Casey's hair away from her face.
"How are you feeling honey?" Nora asked with concern.
"I'm all cold and my stomach hurts. Hey Mom? Do you know why I didn't go to the hospital?" Casey asked scared that she couldn't remember a lot.
"You did Casey, don't you remember? You were awake when you got your daignosis," Nora said, Concerned about Casey's health and well-being.
"Oh, did he say that I have a bad case of the flu?" Casey asked.
Nora sighed with relief and said, "Yes, Casey he did. Now you eat up and get some rest."
Casey ate the soup and drank her orange juice. She lay in bed and took her book from her nightstand and started reading, Pride and Prejudice.
Her door opened and Max came in saying, "Hey, how are you?"
"Not that well, I have the flu," said Casey.
"I was so worried when you didn't hear me and then you just fell. I was so scared," Max said.
"I'm glad that you were there to catch my fall," Casey said.
Her stomach rolled and made some weird noice. Casey's throat closed and she ran to the bathroom. Max followed and saw Casey puke up her lunch. Max knelt down with Casey and pulled her hair out of the way. When Casey was done, Max got a little cup of water for Casey.
Embarrassed Casey said, "Thanks, but I think you should go home. I don't want you to get sick."
"Are you sure?" Max asked, relieved that he wouldn't have to put up with a sick girlfriend.
"Yea, I'll call you later," Casey said hearing Max's voice and wanting to cry.
Max left the room and Casey cried. Her and Max were through. They were kuput; over. Max was a great guy even though he had his moments when he wasn't that great. There was one incident that made Casey scared of her relationship but it vanished and everything was back to normal.
Flashback:
They were at Moore's Restaurant; a really fancy restaurant. Casey was wearing a dark blue dress that had a design made from fake diamonds but looked real. It was long and she had a nice shawl over her arms. As for Max, he was wearing a tuxedo and looked handsome. He had opened the car door, opened the door to the restaurant and pulled out her chair for her. They were looking over the menu when the waiter came.
"May I get you something to drink and maybe perhaps an appetizer?" the waiter said and flashed Casey a smile.
"I'll have a virgin daiquiri and Casey will have a water with lemon in it. We'll also pass on an appetizer, thanks anyway," Max said and the waiter left.
Casey didn't say anything but she wanted to yell at him for ordering for her. She was an independent woman. She didn't need someone speaking for her. What if I didn't want water, what if I wanted something different, thought Casey? She was mad but she would save the yelling for later.
The waiter came with the drinks and Max said, "I'll have the steak medium done and Casey will have the garden salad with Italian dressing."
The waiter left and Casey quietly yelled at Max, "What do you think you're doing? I can order for myself Max; you don't have to do everything for me."
"Please, Case, I know you're watching your weight and I know how hard it is for you. I'm just helping you along the way," Max said and gave Casey a smile.
The meal was long and they both didn't talk as much after the whole ordeal. They got the check, paid, and left the restaurant. They were outside almost near the car when Max roughly took Casey's arms and pulled it towards him.
"I don't like what you did to me in there Casey, it was embarrassing. So you don't do it again or I swear…," Max said threateningly.
His grip was tighter then before and tears sprang into Casey's eyes. She wouldn't allow herself to cry in front of Max because it was a sign of weakness. She composed herself and got into the car.
End of Flashback
Casey walked into the bathroom with a basin and some personal belongings. She turned on the water and once it was the right temperature, she pushed down the lever so the water wouldn't go down the drain. She added the bubbles and got the basin closer to the tub. She undresses and got into the bathtub. She put the headphones on and put her iPod onto shuffle. She closed her eyes and started to relax but her stomach kept hurting her. She tried to ignore the pain but it was never ending.
The door opened quickly and shut with a click from the lock. Casey opened her eyes suddenly and saw Lizzie standing there. She sighed with relief and took off the headphones.
"What's up?" Casey asked.
"What just happened with Max? He was smiling and then he frowned," Lizzie said.
"We just broke up. We were talking and then…well we broke up, I think," Casey said and sighed.
"I'm sorry Casey; I know you guys were close. I'm here if you need to talk sis," Lizzie said and closed the door.
Casey got out of the tub and dressed quickly for bed. She watched the bubbles go down the drain and she went to her room. She snuggled into her sheets and fell asleep in her warm blankets. She dreamed about having a perfect relationship with the perfect guy. She just couldn't see the face of the guy but she could tell where they were; they were in her family room. But yet the guy looked so familiar but without the face she couldn't pin point who it was.
