Hey guys I'm so sorry it took so long, but my computer crashed so I couldn't update anything. I had some good brainstorm ideas though and I have a surprise ending planned that probably none of you will expect.

Sincerely,

Amanda

Cassie waited for hours for Steve to come home, but he didn't. She was still shaking and Darry was still holding onto her like she was going to run away. She knew Steve needed some time to cool off, but he could have at least waited. She felt Darry's breath on the side of her head as she lay in his arms. She didn't want Darry she wanted Steve. She could never tell Darry that though, after all he does for her, it wouldn't be right.

BOOM

She heard the door slam and she jumped slightly, Darry did to so she didn't feel so stupid. She turned her head to see Steve standing in the doorway panting and soaked with blood. "What the hell?" Darry said jumping up and knocking Cassie off his lap.

"Ouch!" Cassie gasped as she hit the floor.

"Oh God Sorry, Cassie," Darry exclaimed.

"It's fine," Cassie said getting up.

"It's okay now Cassie, Dad and I had a little talk. He says he won't ever touch you again. But I don't trust him for a moment and I never want you in that house alone again. Do you hear?" Steve breathed.

She nodded her head.

"Darry lets talk. Cassie," he walked over and kissed her on the head, "Get some sleep kiddo,"

Darry walked out to the kitchen with Steve and they sat down. Cassie laid down on the couch that she knew so well and went to sleep.

In the Kitchen

"What did you need to talk about?" Darry asked.

"Well, I think I'm gonna take Cassie out to the country tomorrow. She can maybe relax a little."

"Sounds like a great idea to me," Darry said nodding his head.

"Well, that brings up another matter. Can I borrow your car?" Steve asked smiling a bit.

"Sure thing, Buddy," Darry said.

I know this was short but I'm trying to get back into the swing of writing! Please R&R!
