I know this is short, sorry for that... Anyways, i'm not sure if I mentioned that Masen was going to college to become a doctor...

Chapter 10

MPOV

I wasn't sure what time Lane would be back at the house so I decided to take Cassie out for the day. I figured that way I could avoid meeting Frenchie just a little bit longer. Of course, there was also the fact that Cassie had no idea who Lane was or anything. I wasn't looking forward to telling her about that either. Then again I guess I could just say she was an ex-girlfriend and leave it at that. But, knowing Cassie she'd want to know more details then just that.

I shook my head trying to rid of those thoughts. I didn't want to think about it until the time came. Over thinking would do me no good.

"Where are we going, Masen?" I was thankful for Cassie's whiney voice. It helped in ridding of all my previous thoughts.

"Well, I figured we'd go visit my Grandpa and some of my old friends." I shrugged honestly unsure of where I would take her.

"Oh alright." She wrinkled up her nose. I could tell that she didn't like that idea too much. Then again there really isn't much going on in Forks to show her. She saw everything when she was here with me last Thanksgiving.

Grandpa wasn't as bad as Mom in the 'hate Cassie' department. Granny Sue on the other hand was right there with Mom but she was polite about it at least.

Cassie set next to me on my Grandpa's couch looking rather uncomfortable. Granny Sue's oldest kid, Leah was there with her two kids and husband Eric. Leah's oldest, Andrea, was ten and she made it a point to sit super close to Cassie and ask her millions of questions. Cassie didn't like that too much. She kept secretly texting me asking if we could hurry up and leave already. We were actually waiting on Seth to get ready then we were heading over to La Push to visit some of our old buddies.

"I hope you two are planning on moving back to Forks soon." Granny Sue spoke up. She was sitting down a plate of cookies on the coffee table.

"Not exactly, Sue." Cassie spoke up for me. I just shook my head. She really needed to learn her manners. "Masen and I have a great place in New York and we absolutely love it there."

"Actually, I've been thinking about taking my internship at the hospital here. So, it's possible I will be coming back in the next few years." I said quickly.

"What?" Cassie's voice rose as she whipped her head around to look at me.

"Well, yeah you can't expect me to stay in New York after I'm finished with college. NYU is the only reason why I'm still living there." I told her. She gasped and frowned. I realized what I said wrong but I didn't try to do anything about it. It was the truth and I wasn't going to lie to her in front of my family, even if it meant we'd be getting in a fight.

"So, no marriage?" I groaned when Granny Sue said this.

"Masen refuses to marry me." Cassie crossed her arms over her chest. Marriage happened to be our biggest fights lately. I didn't want to be with her the rest of my life. I couldn't see myself being with Cassie for more then another year or so anyway. I wasn't going to propose to her for no reason. She would want to get married as soon as possible and then I'd be stuck.

"The both of you are still young, I can understand why." Leah said. I gave her a grateful smile.

The room went silent and no one said another word for the next five minutes. That was until Andrea decided to start her questions again. That deserved a few laughs. Of course Cass didn't find it that funny.

We didn't stay too much longer at Grandpa's before Seth was ready to go. Cassie wasn't speaking to me, she wouldn't even let me touch her. I didn't mind as much as I should have.

The cab of my truck was cramped as we drove towards La Push. There was definitely an elephant in there. I knew I'd be paying for that trip to Grandpa's later on when I got Cassie back to my parents.

We ended up at Harry's parents house, where we spent the rest of the day just hanging out and watching a couple football games on his big screen. There happened to be a lot of memories for me in that house. It was here, during one of Harry's parties, that I met Lane.

Before heading back to my parents we dropped Seth off.

"Masen, are you serious about moving back here?" Cassie finally spoke to me. Seth had just gotten out of the truck, I was suddenly wishing that he had stayed.

"Well, yeah." I scratched the back of my head.

"Were you going to ask me to come with you?" I looked over at her and noticed she was crying.

"Cassie…" I sighed.

"You weren't. Masen, do I mean anything to you?"

"Don't do this." I groaned. "Please, Cass."

"I just don't understand…am I not good enough for you?"

"If you weren't good enough do you think I would have stayed with you this long?" I asked.

"Well…I don't know, Masen!" She threw her hands up in the air.

"Come here." I reached over and pulled her over to me. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and kissed her temple. "You are good enough, Cass."

…Just not for me.

Once we were back to my parents I couldn't help but wish we had just stayed out all night.

"Masen, you're home!" My Mom looked excited to see me. I just cracked a smile as I brought Cassie into the kitchen with me. Lane and some guy were over by the sink washing dishes together. They looked happy. That pissed me off. Lane wasn't supposed to be happy with someone else. She was only supposed to be happy with me.

"Just in time for dinner." I heard Lane's angelic voice. I looked over at her and sighed. God, she was beautiful. No one could ever surpass that girls beauty.

"You must be Bella's son." I raised an eyebrow at the French guy who walked over and stuck his hand out to me. He sure spoke perfect English to be from France. He smelled a little as well. He sure didn't look like someone that Lane would go for. He had a mustache that just made him look like a complete douche.

"Oh, Lucas this is Masen. Masen this is my boyfriend Lucas." Lane walked over and wrapped her arm around the French guys nervously. I reached out and shook the guys hand unpleasantly.

"Nice to meet you." I spoke tightly. "This is my girlfriend Cassie. Cass this is Lane and I guess her boyfriend." I said wrapping my arm around Cassie's shoulder tightly pulling her as close to me as possible.

I could already tell this week was going to be hell.
