Chapter 6.
"Um, Sorry, but did you just say, Casey?" Rinoa asked looking at the girl closer. "Uh, yeah." the girl said simply. "Um, yeah sorry to be rude or anything for the whole staring thing but I used to have a good friend named Casey." Rinoa said dryly looking at the ground in depression.
Casey went over to the tree and climbed up onto a branch and flipped on it. "Is that so?" She asked whilst flipping. "Yeah, and you kind of remind me of her." Rinoa said with a smile. "Ain't that cool?" She said dropping down from the branch. "I'm afraid you never did mention your name." Casey said with a smile.
"Oh, forgive me, I'm Rinoa." She said shaking her hand. Casey's eyes grew wide and she stood paralyzed with fear. "Rinoa, what are you doing here?" Casey breathed. "Casey? Is it really you?" Rinoa asked in joy. "Yeah." Casey said. She looked like she was about to cry. She ran to Rinoa and hugged her. "I missed you so much!" Rinoa cried into her shoulder. "Aw, I've missed you too kid!" Casey said with a tear running down her face.
"Wait till' everyone finds out you're here!" Rinoa said excitedly. "Not sure that's a smashing idea...." Casey said walking toward the pond crossing her arms. "Why not? Everyone will freak after they find out you're still here and in New York, not to mention safe." Rinoa said with the most happiness she could.
"Well, I did run away after all...." Casey began but was cut off by Rinoa. "Why did you run away any way?" Rinoa asked getting a little stern. "Well, I-I, needed to just go. I was being too much of a burden." Casey explained. "If you felt you were a burden...why didn't you take me too?" Rinoa asked with tears in her eyes. "Rinoa, don't take it the wrong way...." Casey started.
"No, you left me with a bunch of people I didn't even know! It's all your fault! Why did you do that huh?" Rinoa screamed at Casey pushing her into the wall. "Rinoa, Stop it!" Casey said throwing her hands off. "No! I'll never forgive you for what you did!" Rinoa yelled slapping Casey. Casey got angry and threw Rinoa down on the ground. "Why should you care? I wasn't your whole world you know." Casey said angrily.
"Shut Up!" Rinoa yelled tripping Casey to the ground. "That's it kid, I didn't want to do this but you forced me too." Casey said dangerously grabbing Rinoa by her hair and dragging her into the next alley. "You want to fight little Rinoa? Come on show me what ya got." Casey said punching Rinoa. Rinoa punched her so hard that the impact sent her to the ground.
Casey grabbed her by the leg tripping her. Casey held her down and started to punch her over and over again. Luckily some one came and threw Casey off of Rinoa. "Rinoa, are you ok?" Casey looked up at the person who threw her, it was Mush. Mush helped Rinoa up and put her over to the side. He came back and picked Casey up by the collar. "Who do you think you are you little punk?!" Mush yelled shaking her. "Answer me!" He yelled holding up his fist.
Casey flinched at the sign of his raised fist and covered her face with her hands. "You're pathetic." He said throwing her down. She landed on her knees. She felt broken like a china dish that just fell from a cupboard and busted right on the hard floor. "Oh, boy I oughta...... if I ever find out who you are, you little creep I swear I'll...." Mush was beginning but Rinoa stepped in.
"Mush, ya already know her." Casey said wiping some blood off of a cut on her cheek. "I do eh?" Mush said taking a good look at her. Then he turned back around to Rinoa. "Rinoa...Who is this?" He asked raising an eye brow. "C'mon Mush! It's Casey damn it! Now we can go back to focusing all of our attention on Casey now huh? God!" Rinoa shouted running out of the alley.
"Rinoa!" Mush called after her. Mush gave Casey an icy glare and ran off to catch Rinoa.
"Um, Sorry, but did you just say, Casey?" Rinoa asked looking at the girl closer. "Uh, yeah." the girl said simply. "Um, yeah sorry to be rude or anything for the whole staring thing but I used to have a good friend named Casey." Rinoa said dryly looking at the ground in depression.
