Chapter 2
Cassidy sighed, biting her lip as she looked at herself in the mirror, she pushed back her hair and noted the dark shadows under her eyes, the tell-tale sign of her lack of sleep lately. She straightened her black tank-top and dusted off her denim shorts before fixing her white socks and yellow hi-tops before making her way out of her room at the shelter.
'I still can't believe this, everything was...was so, crazy. Now dad is...' Her mind raced as she sighed. 'Dad tried to kill Daniel and I, I got in the way, took the shot. I nearly died and, and...'
She grimaced, still unsure what to make of what had happened, to her, to everyone who had been affected with that crazy incident.
She shuddered. 'What if, what if I had been too late, what if Daniel had been shot...And Sean, the way he's acting, he's so afraid, does he wonder those very same things too, if it had been his brother, if I...If I'd actually died, what…?'
She exhaled shakily, the close call with her father and her near death experience had left her reeling, even now. She couldn't help but feel so overwhelmed and she began to be fearful, worried that it would cause issues for her and Sean, especially with their obvious fear now, would it start to affect them in other ways too, that was the fear currently eating away at her.
Hands in the pockets of his jeans, Sean sighed, looking downwards, absently taking in the sight of his red T-shirt, white socks and white sneakers.
'What do I...What do I do?' He wondered worriedly. 'I just, Cassidy nearly died, she took the bullet for Daniel, it could have been Daniel who was shot. What if...Urgh, everything is just so messed up. First that incident with Lauren Williams who kidnapped Jenn and was stalking Kyle...now this, with Cass, her father...'
He glared at the memory of that man, of his actions. The fact he was so crazed and controlling that he would resort to such methods to bring his daughter back under his control. A control that would have likely killed her anyway.
He shook his head. 'Which puts me in yet another problem, Cass can't handle settling down or anything like that, her father would force her into that sort of life, having to do as she was told...Yet what happened to her, how he nearly killed her...It made me realize just how much Cassidy means to me, yet if I tell her, what if I end up chasing her away and, and...'
He groaned, trying to calm his thoughts. His mind was racing so much it was beginning to make his head pound.
'What am I supposed to do...I should, what now…?' He found himself wondering.
He was considering just what to say or do, but it was hard, overwhelming and he feared it would start to affect them to an even greater degree.
Sean arrived at the shelter just as Cassidy stepped outside, they both paused, both watching each other uncertainly, awkwardly and both could see the fear and worry in each other's eyes.
"Um, hey..." He greeted her.
Cassidy managed a tight smile. "Hi Sean, I...So, should we get going?"
"Yeah." Sean agreed. "Let's go, the others will be waiting."
With that she walked up to him and they linked hands. But there was a cloud of tension, a wedge between them and Sean couldn't help but feel distressed by this.
'What, what is this...are we really...' He wondered.
He grimaced, terrified at the thought that things might get worse between them might fall apart. Cassidy meanwhile was also worried by this and afraid. Wondering just what the future held for them, would they manage to ever work things out and make things better.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
