Chapter 14
Sitting on the steps of the shelter building, Sean couldn't help but smile as he listened to Cassidy playing her guitar. They were both sitting simply spending time together, just a casual hang out, even their clothes showed this. For Sean a pair of cargo pants, a light green shirt with simple white socks and matching sneakers. Cassidy wore red jeans, a purple T-shirt and her own white socks and dark blue sneakers
He had to admit, ever since first meeting Cassidy she had been on his mind a lot and then he began to feel something strange, something that he was just now making sense of.
'That strange feeling, it all makes sense now. But how do I even talk to her about it...' He wondered. 'She doesn't strike me as the kinda girl who would...urgh, but it's true...I've fallen in love with Cassidy.'
He couldn't deny it, he knew it all too well now. The way he felt, he had heard Jamie and Kyle talking about Lyla and Jenn respectively, it felt the same way they described how they felt around their girlfriends.
"Sean, are you okay?" Cassidy's voice suddenly intruded into his thoughts. "You looked a little spaced out there."
Sean quickly recovered. "I just, I had something on my mind, nothing to worry about."
Cassidy nodded slowly before smiling and resuming her playing. They sat in silence apart from the music for a while longer until finally, Sean couldn't take it anymore.
"Hey Cass, could I...I have something I need to tell you..." He said at last.
She turned to him. "Sure, what's up, you're...acting kinda nervous?"
He paused for a moment, trying to gather his thoughts.
Finally he sighed there was no other way to do it, he'd just have to be honest.
Sean bit his lip. "Um, look I know this is gonna sound strange but...We've known each other a while now and I can't help but feel..."
Cassidy froze at this. 'Wait is he really saying what I think he's saying...oh shit, this is gonna be awkward...tricky. I mean, after what happened back home...First an African-American boy, now a Mexican-American, boy dad would hit the roof.'
"Cass?"
"Huh, oh sorry I just..." She stammered. "So wait a minute, are you saying you...you actually have feelings for me?"
Sean bit his lip, scratching the back of his head. "I, yeah, I'm...Look, I'm sorry if I'm making this difficult for you. I just..."
"It's...not exactly what you think Sean." Cassidy admitted. "It is tricky, but...to be honest, I've kinda been noticing a few things like that too."
She smiled as she said it, while wary due to her usual issues, especially regarding commitment, she couldn't deny, Sean Diaz intrigued her and she began to suspect she may in fact feel something for him.
"Wow...So um..." Sean replied, eyes wide.
Cassidy smiled. "We'll give things a go huh. Hopefully, they turn out alright and it works great for us."
She smiled in agreement and, proving her spontaneous nature once more, Cassidy decided if they were gonna go on anything resembling a date, why not right away. Sean couldn't help but laugh, yet he still agreed.
Their date wasn't typical, naturally when Cassidy was involved it was not anything like the sort of dates Sean had originally considered. But he didn't mind, in fact, he felt this was more enjoyable, as well as somewhat informative. Their date consisted of spending time together, going around town and even parts of the city and so Sean was able to show Cassidy around Seattle, share what he knew about the place and they even spent time together chatting, talking about each other.
"So…?" Cassidy said. "It's just you, your brother and your dad?"
Sean nodded. "Yeah, mom bailed on us years ago."
"Just, disappeared, not a word?" She gasped.
Sean nodded. "Yeah, since then, it's just been the three of us."
Cassidy nodded slowly. "Wow..."
"What about you?" He asked. "I mean, you don't have to tell me if..."
Cassidy shook her head. "It's cool, really. Not much to tell...Dad was a drunk and a racist asshole, beat up the only other boyfriend I ever had because he wasn't white. My brother was just as bad, actually threatened to kill me if I ever did anything to disgrace the family like that again...Mom didn't do shit as usual."
"Whoa I...geez, Cass, I'm sorry." Sean stammered.
Cassidy shrugged. "Ah, it's alright, it's why I ran away. Anyway, I'm happier now."
She grinned and took Sean's hand, gently guiding him onwards. Allowing a smile of his own to form, Sean let himself be led by Cassidy as they made their way down the street. Enjoying their date and allowing their painful memories to recede behind them as they did so.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
