Long awaited chapter 21! All of my reviews for the last chapter were about Kendall being harsh, but let's see what he has to say.
Kendall POV
As Cassie closed the door and walked away, I wasn't in much mood to talk to Mom and Katie, and went to sleep. I didn't sleep much. All of my dreams were linked to Cassie. Her smile, the way her eyes shone when she smiled, her teeth, and the way her attitude would change whenever we were together, and her confession. Her confession. It was 100% real. She was 100% right. It was the little things that made our relationship special. The way we held hande whenever we were together. Her cookies. Why did I push her away? It was the biggest mistake of my life. During our relationship, I would never go to sleep without texting her to see if she was okay for the night. It was a habit. I couldn't go to sleep without it. Now, my mind wouldn't let me sleep. But how could I get Cassie back? I didn't know where my phone was, and chances are it probably got destroyed, meaning I couldn't talk to her. not that she would even want to talk to me. What could I do? The girls are probably mad at me for breaking up with her, and I can't tell my mom. I'm stuck.
Mr. Trevor's POV
I'll admit it right now: I'm worried about my daughter, and I'm worried about my son. In short, I'm worried about my family. In the three weeks I've been here, Cassie and John have barely spoken three words to each other. Whatever is going on between them needs to stop, and espevially with Cassie's current condition. She really does't handle grief and emotional stress well. After my wife died, Cassie would act strong all day, and lock herself up in her room and cry at night. She even became anorexic, shutting herself away from the ones who loved her and wanted to help her. Cassie never gained the closure she needed to move on. To this day, she will not get into any car manufactured by Nissan, and she has a very hard time entering hospitals. If I hadn't brought her to that therapist, she probably would have eventually passed away. I also blame myself. I became somewhat of a workaholic, and that probably helped create the division between my children. However, when Cassie called me today, I knew something was wrong. Cassie had never sounded so broken, even after she was released from the hospital. She asked me to pick her up, and I did.
She slept the entire way back to the Palm Woods, which instantly worried me. How much sleep had she been getting? Had she been eating? I almost felt guilty for waking her up so she could go to her room. Since she could barely walk, I walked her to the elevator. Before she went up, I told her that she was not allowed to get up until 11:00, and that John and I would bring breakfast. She smiled and went up to her room.
Stephanie's POV
I was the first to see Cassie come from Kendall's room, but she ignored me when I called her over. She went outside, and didn't return. Judging by the way she left, I know something had happened but what? I quickly called over Heather and Camille. "I saw Cassie coming out of Kendall's room, and she didn't look too happy. I called her, but she left. Did you notice anything?" I asked them. Camille nodded. "She didn't look very thrilled. Maybe we can talk to Kendall tomorrow," she said. We all agreed and headed back to the Palm Woods. The next day, we noticed Cassie wasn't with us, and she wasn't answering texts or calls. When we got to the hospital, we went up to Kendall's room. Luckily, he was awake. "Kendall, do you know what's with Cassie?" I asked. He nodded his head and begn to speak.
John's POV
As mad as I am at my sister for, well, everything, I feel bad for her. She gets into an argument with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend gets into a car accident. He flatlines. He's in a coma for three weeks. When he finally wakes up, he tells her that they should see other people and that she can go kick rocks. She gets all the bad luck. It almost makes everything excusable. It's understandable, but inexcusable. So when Dad came and told me that we were bringing Cassie breakfast and were going to spend time with her, I was less than thrilled. I masked it pretty well. We went to Dunkin Donuts at 10:45, and got to the Palm Woods at 11:15. The desk guy gave us a hard time because we aren't residents, but Cassie called down and let him know. We were sitting in her small room, eating breakfast together. After we finished, Dad began to speak. "I've noticed something between the two of you, and I want that something to end today. I'll walk out to the car, and you can talk everything out. This ends today."
Cassie's POV
My Dad was giving me a chance to fix everything with John. A chance I wouldn't turn down. As soon as he closed the door, I spoke. "John, why are you so mad at me?" I asked. He snorted. "This goes way back. Back to when Mom died and you went anorexic and depressed," he said. I was shocked. "Mom had died and I was in the car. Of course I would be depressed," I answered. John shook his head. "Think about it. You went all depressed, making everyone worry about you. You make Dad feel bad that he isn't Mom, and can't do what she did. You have to realize that he loved her too. She was his wife." he said. I snorted. "Of course I know that. But I was in the car. I watched the other car slam into us at 110 miles per hour. I woke up and was told my mom died."
John rolled his eyes. "Cassie, when will you ever stop thinking about yourself? While you were throwing yourself a pity party, did you ever think about me or Dad? All you did was cry, lock yourself up, and become a runaway. You forgot about the man who lost his wife and best friend. You forgot about the boy who had his mother snatched from him 3 weeks after his birthday. All you did was think about yourself," he shot back.
Suddenly, it hit me. John was right. I had become selfish, spoiled even. I didn't think about how Dad lost his wife, or even how John was only 8 when Mom died. I suddenly realized how I had hurt the people closest to me: my father and my brother. "John, you're right. I'm really sorry. I was selfish. but you and Dad matter too. I'm so, so, sorry," I said, giving him a hug. He smiled. "You're forgiven. Can we be friends again?" he asled jokingly. I laughed. "Sure. Give me a minute, and I'll go down with you and talk to Dad. I'll just have to make sure I don't get seen."
John frowned. "Why?" he ased. "Because everyone knows that Kendall Knight of Big Time Rush is in the hospital, and that his girlfriend, or as they hopefully don't know in my case, ex-girlfriend, is the actress from High School Queen Bee, which is set to be one of the best movies of the year. When they see someone close to him, they'll swarm like bees," I explained. "Oh. So then hurry up and don't be noticeable," he said. I nodded and quickly changed into a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. We headed outside and took the elevator. We walked out and to the car, where we saw Dad listening to music. "Dad?" I began. He took out his earbuds and motioned for me to continue. "Well, me and Johnny made up, and I just wanted to say I'm sorry for everything."My dad smiled and leaned over to give me a hug. Finally, in one thing, all was well.
Stephanie's POV
"I broke up with Cassie," Kendall said. We were all shocked. Heather found her voice first. "Why, Kendall?" she asked. "I don't know. I was confused. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I wish I could take it all back, even when we fought at the Palm Woods, and have her again. But I can't. I broke up with her, and she probably doesn't want to see me again." Kendall said, sounding more broken than ever. Camille and I exchanged glances. "Ok Kendall. We're really sorry to hear that, but we should let you get your sleep. Bye," I said, walking out of his room with the girls behind me. We stood around by the elevator. Camille turned to me. "Stephanie, what was that about?" she asked, with the others echoing the sentiment. "Well, we now know that Kendall broke up with Cassie, which is why she walked out so suddenly. Kendall looks crushed, and Cassie is obviously upset. But we can get them back "together," I explained. We all smiled and looked at Camille. "What? Why are you looking at me?" she asked. Heather spoke up. "Because you're the one with the ideas. It's noon, so let's go find a restaurant and plan."
We all agreed and went out after her. Cassie and Kendall's relationship wasn't over yet. We were going to save it, if it was the last thing we ever wanted to do.
How about that! So Kendall regrets it. Will Camille, Heather, and Stephanie be able to fix their romance, or will they crash and burn? When will Carlos, Logan, and James wake up? Will the tension between the parents be resolved? Only one way to find out! Stay tuned for chapter 22! And don't forget to review!
