Finally, I get to go home. After 4 weeks in the old hospital, the smell of cleaning products, the constant moans of the sick and the cheery nurses that would walk in just as you were falling asleep. I needed to get home. I was packing what few things I had here, when the door creaked open. "Cassie?" A familiar husky voice said from the doorway. "Hi Nick" I said turning around to see him. He was wearing a navy blue t-shirt that had seen better day, a scuffed pair of converse and black jeans. "Hey" He tried to smile. "What's the matter?" I asked him. He looked nervous. "Cassie, do you still love Adam?" He blurted out. I froze and my muscles tightened. "Yes" I whispered, I could see him everywhere now. His dark red hair glistening, ocean eyes twinkling as the sunlight dances around him. I almost started crying, before Nick took hold of my wrist and brought me into a tight hug. "Its okay" He stroked my hair as I cried into his shoulder. He squeezed me tighter as the tears kept flowing. I looked up at him. "I'm sorry" I kept my arms twisted around his waist. I needed him to much right now to let go. "Its okay" He went to kiss my cheek, but I turned my head and our lips collided. I don't know why I did it, it just felt…right. I pulled him closer to me as fire roared through my body. I slid my tongue inside his mouth, he resisted for a minute but finally gave in. His hands tangled into my hair, and I could feel his body heating up. I started walking back to the pristine white bed and pulled Nick with me. I sat down and he pushed me back, and then crawled on top of me. We hadn't stopped kissing, and I was still exploring Nick's mouth with my tongue. He took his hands out of my hair and moved them down towards my hips. "Cassie!" A familiar voice bursts into our silent heaven. This isn't going to be good…
After school, I decided to take Susan's advice and go to see Cassie. So as soon as the last bell rang I grabbed Chris and Dough. "Hey, can you drop me off at the hospital?" I asked them. "Yeh sure." We walked out of the school and headed for the car park. Ten minutes later I was waving to Chris and Dough as they drove back to Crowhaven, I think anyway. I walked through the double doors and went straight to Cassie's room, Melanie had told me earlier and I had it written on the back of my hand. I opened the door and just about died. "Cassie!" I shouted. A big guy was hovering over her and they were…Kissing! The strangely familiar guy looked around. "Nick!" I shouted even louder. Nick! How could he? I marched forward and tried to grab the back of his t-shirt, but he caught my fist in midair. "Don't do that" He warned slowly getting of the bed. "Why would you do this to me?" I felt tears stinging my eyes and had to look away. "Adam?" Cassie said nervously. "What?" I tried to sound angry but my voice wobbled. "Nick…Nick didn't kiss me. I kissed him" She told me. "What!" I turned to face her; it broke my heart to see her grabbing for Nicks hand instead of mine. "Why Cassie?" I asked. She looked down at the floor. "Because I like him" her cheeks turned bright red. She looked so cute, but a ping of anger struck as I saw her and Nick entwine their fingers. "But…but what about us?" I was close to the point of breaking down right then and there. "I'm sorry Adam" She said simply, and I had to run from the room even as my heart shattered…
