A/N: Here is chapter seven. I hope you guys like this chapter, please let me know in a Review :)

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN anything but Cassie.

Summery: Cassie Delaney is attending Spencer Academy on a scholarship and is instantly taken under the wing of none other then Reid Garwin. Their friendship causes her to become friends with the other sons and as her feelings towards Tyler grows, she can't help but wonder it they're keeping something from her. Something huge.


"You can't tell anyone." She begged, he just stood there though, his back against the wall, arms crossed over his chest. Reid looked as though he was trying hard not to laugh, his lips were glued together but she could see it all in his eyes, those icy, blue eyes.

"Don't worry Baby Doll." He said in a reassuring voice. "Your secret is safe with me." Cassie held his gaze, searching for any hidden clause but found nothing, so nodding, she let out a shaky breath.

"Thanks Reid." He only smiled. Cassie followed the girls the rest of the way down the hall, turning into the change room where the bathroom was. Once inside, they looked around at each other.

"Well that was a close one." Kate said.

"You think." She snapped. "Look, you guys can't tell anyone about this, don't bring it up or try and set us up because I am pretty sure he doesn't like me that way."

"Girl you must be blind." Sarah exclaimed. "He looks at you all the time, as if you were some angel from haven. I have never seen him so hung up on a girl before."

"He is not hung up." She protested even though what she was hearing made her want to jump for joy.

"Cass." Kate said slowly and clearly. "Pogue has told me that when we aren't around, all Tyler does is talk about you. He asks questions about you, things Reid knows and I'm pretty sure that he thinks that you and Reid are like becoming a thing."

"Not this again," Cassie was getting tired of these assumptions. "Me and Reid are NOT going out, I do NOT like him and he does NOT like me. We are ONLY friends."

"We got it." Kate said lightly. "You don't like Reid, but by telling us I don't think Tyler is going to find out."

"So what do I do then?"

"Well, we figure out a plan, something that shows Tyler that you and Reid are not together."


The first movie was Friday the 13th. She pulled her legs closer to her body, chin resting on her knees as she kept her eyes glued to the screen. Reid was sprawled out on her left, eyes closed as though he was sleeping but she knew by the way he was breathing that he wasn't. Tyler was on her right, sitting on his butt, hands resting on his lap. She flinched as the Jason came out of nowhere, the object of death in his hands then before the victim could get out of the way, he was dead.

"You okay?" Tyler whispered to her. She nodded, keeping her eyes locked on the next scene. This was there perfect plan, not something she would have thought of but it would do, she still couldn't believe that they had gotten Reid involved. He could ruin it for her, just saying or doing the wrong thing and it might be too late.

She waited, knowing it was coming. They had a mark, yes the cough, that was a signal to Kate who was going to scream at any moment. One...Two...Three.

"OH MY GOD! CENTIPEDE!" Kate scream. Cassie did as instructed and jumped, her mouth opening, letting out a girly scream. She sprang up just as Tyler did, they grabbed onto each other only to realize that they were in each others arms.

"Got it." She watched as Reid captured the imaginary bug in his hands then got up and discarded it in the garbage .She slowly backed away from Tyler, who cleared his throat.

"Sorry." She whispered.

"It's fine." He replied in the same tone.

Cassie nodded. "Hmm, I'm going to get some fresh air." Reid caught her look and pointed to the bag across the room. He knew what she wanted. Cassie walked over, got what she was looking for then climbed up the stairs and into the main hallway, eyes flickering back and forth as she tried to think of which way led towards the front door.

"Follow me." She smiled upon hearing his voice. He moved past her, the smallest contact made her heart leap. Tyler showed her down the hall, turning around a corner then opened up the front door and walked out into the cool night air.

Tyler's P.O.V

Tyler watched her silently as she lit the smoke, inhaling it then letting out a small loop of cigarette smoke. She held the stick between her index and middle finger, staring out at the black night. He gulped, the feeling in his stomach growing stronger each second. He didn't know what to do, the days events had led him to believe something he didn't even want to come true. Reid and Cassie. Even though Reid had told him face to face that they were just friends, the way he looked at her made Tyler believe other wise. It was look that held more emotion then anything.

He knew his best friend, knew when Reid was falling and right now he knew that Reid Garwin was falling for the same girl he was. Cassie Delaney. Tyler smiled as she sighed, the sound seeming to calm his every nerve. She was beautiful, a different kind of beautiful though. With her dark brown hair, almost matching the color of his and her green eyes. The same color that could be found on pine needles. She wasn't too tall but she wasn't too short. She was perfect in every way.

"You and Reid-" He started, only to be taken a back when she snapped. Her body turning to face him, eyes narrowed slightly.

"Me and Reid are not together. I like him as a friend and he likes me as a friend besides I like somebody else." Her voice quieted at the last part. "Look, I'm just tired of people assuming that me and him are together just because we hang out."

"Sorry." He replied, though a part of him wanted to jump for joy. Maybe, he had been overreacting and what he thought were signs of of a crush weren't. He hoped the Reid didn't like her, that would give him a chance to try and win her over.

"It's okay." Cassie grinned at him. Tyler bit his bottom lip as she flicked her hair to the side. He wanted to know who his competition was, she had only been at school for a week which meant she hadn't had enough time to meet a lot of guys. She slowly bent down and mushed the now finished cigarette butt on the ground then stood back up, shivering as a gust of window flew around them. Now's my chance, Tyler told himself. Removing his jacket, he draped it over her shoulders only to smile as she pulled it closer.

"Thanks." She whispered.

"No problem." He replied. "Come on, they're probably wondering where we are." Cassie followed him inside, her mind wandering to a similar situation which involved Liam, her ex. He had done the same thing Tyler had, giving her his jacket and talking with her. Those had been the good old days, before he had started acting like a jackass and before he had started cheating on her with Analise.

"You cold?" Liam asked softly, she turned to him, taking him in with her eyes. He was attractive with his dirty blond hair, moss green eyes and tall, muscly build. He was everything she was looking for in a guy but she highly doubted that he liked her. They had only met a few weeks ago at her best friend Analise's party. He sent her a heart-leaping smile and removed his black leather jacket then held it out to her, she looked up at him then down at the piece of clothing and at the last second took it and slipped it on, the smell resembling a lot like Old Spice. She breathed in then looked up at the open sky which was full of twinkling stars. It was beautiful.

"Thank you." She said.

"Not a problem." He assured her. "I'd do anything for a pretty girl like you."

"Pretty?" Cassie had NOT meant to say that aloud but he only chuckled, hands going to cup her face. He leaned closer and grinned. She did not want to move or even breath.

"Yes, pretty." He whispered. "You are one of the most beautifulest girls I know Cassie." She felt herself smile. "Don't let anyone tell you different." Cass felt her stomach do flips when he pulled back. "Now come on, your friends are most likely wondering were you are." She took his hand and let him drag her back towards the party scene.

Cassie was brought back out of the memory by Reid-who was waving a hand in front of her face, ice blue eyes full of concern and curiosity. She stepped back then shook her head, trying her best to get rid of the feeling which was growing in the pit of her stomach. Every time she thought of him it hurt. Not because of how it ended it but what she learned before she left. He had cheated on her-all those times he told her he love her, all those times he told her he was going to visit a friend- he was really going to see her. That bitch that had lied to her face several thousand times, claiming that she was always gonna be their for her- some friend she was. Her heart rate had increased just at the thought of him, he hadn't said sorry and that made her angry. Not even an apologies but then again he was never one to apologize.

"You alright baby doll?" Reid asked carefully. She inhaled slowly, trying to just relax. It was in the past and it needed to stay in the past.

"Yeah," She replied after a minute. "I was just thinking."

He nodded then reached into his pocket, only to pull out an old, rusty penny. "Penny for your thoughts?" She had to laugh at that one. He always seemed to amaze her.

"I guess that what Tyler did." Reid raised an eyebrow, "He handed me his jacket." The smirk was still in place. "Well it reminded me of a memory that involved Liam, my ex, and well it still hurts to think of him."

"You never did tell me what happened between you two." Reid said but added. "But you don't have to tell me anything." When he saw her tense slightly.

"It's fine." Cassie assured him. "He brought me to a party, got me drunk, I kissed a few people because I was drunk, he got mad- end of story." Though it was far from and Reid knew that because he motioned for me to continue. "He fucked my so called best friend while we were dating."

"Why?"

Cassie shrugged. "Maybe I wasn't giving him what he wanted. Maybe I wasn't good enough. Analise was always the pretty one, she was the one that got all the compliments. If I had known before then maybe I would have given up because I couldn't compete with her."

"Are you really saying that you would have given up without a fight." Reid snorted."Because from what I see, you Cass do not give up."

"She won anyways." She whispered. "It doesn't matter now." Cassie looked over his shoulder when a movement caught her eye and there standing in the shadows was Tyler. "Come on." She walked past the two boys and back down stairs, hoping to forget that conversation ever happened.


Cassie a woke with a gasp, eyes scanning the room only to find she couldn't see. Everything was black, she looked down at her hands, squinting as she tried to at least see the outlines but it was impossible. The only time she had seen something this black was the time her and her parents had gone hiking and had ended up climbing into a cave, the tunnel going on for a while until they reached the other side. She reached to her left when she noticed something moving, it was small but it had moved. She brushed away a strand of hair that seemed to keep falling out from behind her ear and brushed a finger over the materiel. It wasn't soft like silk but not coarse like wool. She patted it only to find that it was a sleeping bag with nothing under neath it.

She bent forward- then with a quick pull she yanked it open just as the lights came on. Everything was bright but once she adjusted her eyes took in the paper under the sleeping bag. It was a small piece of paper, the ends shard off and their in the middle, written in red ink that could resemble blood was the words. REVENGE.

In a flash things seemed to change, her vision changed from her being in a lit room to her standing in an open area. One old, gray stone was the only thing in sight and carved into the cement were the words R.I.P Cassie Delaney. That had always been her worst nightmare: dieing young. She stepped back and tripped, landing hard on her bed. The words rang in her head. She was not going to cry, it had too be a dream. But when she looked down at her hands, she realized that they were covered in blood and beside her was a dead bird. She screamed, the sound piercing the empty night sky and then squeezed her eyes shut...


Cassie opened her eyes and screamed at the person hovering over her, hands already moving to shove him off before she could even register what she was doing. There was a few yells then someone grabbed her arms and yanked them to her sides and the last thing she could remember was seeing those baby blue eyes staring at her in concern.
