This is my first Drake & Josh fanfiction I ever wrote. It's posted on my site, but I thought I'd put it here as well. This story is completely written but not completely posted. In fact, I've already written up a sequel, which I will post when I finish posting this.

I don't own any of the Drake & Josh characters. I did create some characters for this fanfiction though. The song "Insensitive" is sung by Jann Arden and written by Anne Loree. No copyright infringements are intended.

A month later Drake and Cassandra were still dating, and Drake wanted to ask Cassandra whether or not she would be his girlfriend "officially". He didn't get it. Before he had always had a new date every week. Now he only wanted to be with Cassandra. He wondered if this was what love felt like. He didn't care, he was just happy. He planned on taking Cassandra to dinner that night and asking her then. He pulled out his english book and prepared for Mrs. Haifer's class. He felt a hand touch his shoulder.

"Hi Drake." Drake turned around and saw Sam. She smiled at him. "How's it going?" she asked.

"Okay," said Drake. He wasn't quite sure what she wanted. "How are you?"

"Alright, except for the fact that I broke up with my boyfriend again."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"It's alright. I should've never gotten back together with him. I enjoyed spending time with you more anyway." Drake didn't like where she was going. "Listen, Drake, do you want to go out this weekend? It'd be nice to date you again."

"I don't think so," said Drake. "You see, I've been dating Cassandra, and..."

"You never let dating someone else stop you before," said Sam. "C'mon Drake. Maybe you need a reason to go out with me." With that, she kissed him. Drake felt wrong immediately. He backed away, well, as far as he could, since his back was to his locker.

"Look, Sam. I just can't okay? I really care about Cassandra."

"Fine," she said with anger in her eyes. She stormed off. Drake shook his head and walked to english. He hadn't noticed Cassandra run around the corner, and she didn't look too happy. She had missed hearing Drake telling Sam to back away. In her mind, he was as she had been warned. He didn't care who he dated or when. If there was another girl at the time, it was how it was. It wouldn't change.

"Drake," said Cassandra on the phone. "I can't make it tonight." Drake's smile faded from his face. He hadn't expected this.

"Why not?" he asked.

"I just can't." She felt a little angry with him, but more with herself, thinking he had changed. "Look Drake, I don't think we can date anymore."

"Huh?" Drake felt stunned. "Why?"

"Because," she began. She felt the tears in her eyes. Didn't he know? Apparently not. "I saw you today with that girl at your locker Drake."

"Oh," said Drake. He couldn't believe how wrong Cassandra was about the situation. "Look, that was nothing. She kissed me. It meant nothing."

"The problem is, I don't know if you're telling the truth. I don't know if I can trust you in a relationship. I could trust you as a friend. Old habits die hard Drake. You might never get over your womanizing ways. I think we should just be friends."

"Okay," said Drake. His voice was shaky. "I gotta go. Bye." He quickly hung up. He felt as though his heart was torn in two. How could she have misunderstood? He had not so much as looked at another girl since they started dating. That kiss was never supposed to happen. He had felt horrible when it did. He felt sick to his stomach now, knowing it cost him the trust Cassandra had in him.

Cassandra placed the phone back on the hook and started to cry. She lay down on her bed and pressed her pillow to her face. Everytime she got close to someone, she got hurt. Even if he hadn't kissed that girl purposely, she worried he might want to start dating other people again. It was best just to break it off now. Drake didn't seem to understand that. How could he be so insensitive?

She picked up the phone and called Alexa.

"Hello," said Alexa.

"Hey," said Cassandra. Her voice sounded like it would crack.

"What's the matter?" Alexa asked, her voice full of concern.

"Drake and I broke up," she said.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I know you liked him. I hate to say it, but it's the way he is."

"Yeah, I get that now," said Cassandra. "I just wish I hadn't learned the hard way." With that she poured the entire story out to Alexa.

"What a jerk. You know what, you deserve better. If you still want to be friends with him that's your choice. It could still be okay that way, but as far as a boyfriend goes, I don't think so," Alexa told her friend. It seemed odd to her. When Drake and Cassandra had been dating, the lady-charming Drake Parker she knew seemed to not exist, like he really only wanted to be with Cassandra. Had Alexa become a fool as well?

"Drake," said Cassandra. It had been a month, and they still spoke but not often. She was worried about him. He was still her friend after all.

"Hmm?" asked Drake. It pained him to look at Cassandra. It wasn't even his fault, and he wasn't with her anymore.

"Are you okay?" she asked. She had asked him several times since they broke up and he always replied the same.

"Of course," he said, once again.

"Look, we're still on for Zero Gravity next month right?" she asked.

"Oh yeah, definitely," he said. His heart wasn't in it. He would probably spend the entire night wishing he could kiss her, but knowing he couldn't. He didn't want her to go to the concert alone though. If anything happened to her, he wouldn't forgive himself. "I'll see ya later."

Cassandra stared after him. She hoped he really was okay. It had hurt to let him go, but she was really scared that he would break her heart.
