Chapter 2

As Cassie slept Ben, Alicia, Johnny, Sue, and Reed popped out of the elevator. She moved a bit but it really didn't wake her up.

"I told you we were late. Reed that short cut sucked." Ben growled at him then went into the kitchen.

"Sorry Ben but I thought it was a shortcut. That guy messed me all up." Sue gave him a hug to make him feel better then saw the jacket on the floor.

"Ben is this your jacket on the floor." Ben shouted back no then looked at Johnny he was staring at something on the couch. Sue peaked over the side and saw Cassie sleeping there. She went around the side and sat on the edge of the couch.

"Cassie..wake up hun." She said rubbing her arm. Cassie moved a bit then slightly opened her eyes to see Sue. She sat up quickly then gave her a hug.

"Sue it's been so long you look amazing."

"It's good to see you too Cassie and look at that hair last time I saw you it was only to your shoulders." They laughed then Cassie got up after Sue told her Ben was in the kitchen. She peaked in and saw him and then guessed the girl next to him was Alicia. She ran up to him and covered his eyes. Though it was hard since she was about 5'2" and he was taller then him.

"Guess who." She giggled.

"Mmmm Cassie!" He shouted then turned around to pick her up.

"You little brat next time tell us where your going." He said putting her back down.

"Sorry but I'm fine now see. I brought back my guitar so we can chill like before." She said then looked at Alicia.

"I'm going to guess your Alicia. Right?"

"Up your right I've heard a lot about you Cassie you seem just like your brother here." She smiled then reached over to give her a hug.

"It's nice to meet you now where is Reed?" She asked then Sue told her in the lab. She went to the lab didn't see him at first until his arm stretched out for some papers. She looked around a bookcase and saw him. Cassie smiled then ran over and hugged him.

"Hi Reed." She said then he looked up at her and smiled to give her a hug back.

"Same old Reed. Looking up stuff and never having any fun." Then Cassie saw out of the corner of her eye Johnny. Reed laughed at her then let her go.

"Same old Cassie going after Johnny Storm even after what he did." He said then stood up. At first Cassie started to run then she stopped. She had to remember he didn't like her still. After everything he still held something against her.

"Hey Johnny it's good to see you again." Her hair covered her face again. He just looked at her for a moment then looked away. Her eyes rolled under her hair then looked at everyone. Then she grabbed his hand and shook it weather he liked it or not. He pulled away quickly and just looked out the window.

"Johnny be nice to Cassie you could be more polite then this." Sue said giving him the big sister look. He then looked back at her and smiled a bit.

"So when are you going to leave again?" He asked looking straight into her eyes. Her heart stopped for a moment. Ben was ready to kick Johnny's ass for that one but Cassie stopped him.

"You really want to know when huh?" She said. She looked down for a moment then out of no where slapped him in the face. As hard as she could enough to leave a hand print on his face.

"Unlike you dear Johnny I won't give up. I want to talk to you I want to know what happened three years ago to us." She said now looking him right in the eyes then moving closer.

"Well why do I need to talk you tell everything to Jess anyway. Speaking of Jess I need to meet her tonight." Then he walked away to his room.

"Jess?..What did she tell you! Damn it." She said then looked at a vase and picked it up.

"Want me to take care of this Cassie." Ben asked but at that moment the vase went from her hand to the wall.

"No. Jess was my friend but now she's pushed me to my breaking point. She did something and I'm going to find out." She said looking at a big piece of vase then stepping on it.

"Leave this to me." She said then going upstairs to the balcony.
