Hey, here's chapter four! I wrote it in Nick's POV mostly, so tell me your opinion about it. :)
Nick's POV
Cassie had just left with Adam and Diana was talking with Laurel to make some herbal tea for Cassie to help her. I was really worried about Cassie. She looked really tired and…
"Nick, did you hear what I said?" Deborah asked me with obvious annoyance in her voice.
"What?" I said.
She sighed and said "Can we leave now? I want to go home and talk to you about something."
I nodded. I would really like to go home, too, but I am not so sure about the talking part. When we entered our house, Deborah sat on the couch and told me to sit down. My uncle and aunt weren't at the house so we were alone. After a few moments, she said "Why do you still care about her?"
Oh great, she want to talk about Cassie. Being my usual self, I asked her coolly "Who?"
Now, she looked really frustrated. "You know who I am talking about." She hissed. I didn't say anything. "Seriously, I really want to know why you are wasting your time with her."
"I am not wasting my time because I don't care about her the way you think. I care about her cause she's my friend." I said expressionlessly.
"Yeah, Nick. Keep telling that to yourself and you may believe it." She said sarcastically.
"Deborah, what do you want? We won't talk about Cassie. So do you want to talk about something else?" I told her.
"Nick, we need to talk about her. You need to talk about her. I know you don't want to talk about her but it will help you" Deborah said and looked at me with her dark eyes.
I eyed her for a moment and realized that she was serious. "I don't know, Deb." I mumbled. Maybe she is right, I thought. Maybe I need to talk to someone, but I've never opened up to anyone. Except for Cassie, a voice added. Yeah, maybe I really need to talk to Deb. "Okay" I said cautiously and took a breath "I know she broke up with me and she is with Conant, but…but I still have feelings for her."
"It's normal, Nick. You loved her. You opened up to her and she…", her voice became hard.
"It wasn't her fault." I interrupted her, "I knew she was in love with Conant when she became my girlfriend."
"Stop defending her." She shouted "She hurt you. She is to blame."
"Deb…" "No. I don't want to hear your ridiculous excuses for her!" A few moments passed and neither I nor Deborah had said anything. "I am going to bed." I told her and went to my room.

Cassie's POV
I woke up and realized that thankfully the dizziness had ended. I got ready for school and went to the kitchen for breakfast. My mother had been already up and was making tea.
"Cassie, that's the herbal tea Laurel made for you. She brought it last night after you had slept." She paused for a moment and I saw worry in her big dark eyes, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling a lot better. I don't feel tired or dizzy." I told her. After I had drunk my tea and reassured my mum that I was okay, I went to school. Adam was standing near the gate. Raj, Adam's dog, was shaking his tail playfully. When he saw me, he jumped onto me and I nearly fell to the ground.
"Raj!" Adam shouted and caught me before falling. I smiled at him and told him teasingly "Come on, don't shout at him. He was just trying to play." He smiled back and kissed me. "How are you?"
"Much better, especially now." I told him meaning his hand around me and the kiss. "Are you sure?" he asked me with a serious tone. So I stopped the teasing and said "Yes, I am." He kissed me again and headed to his class.
I was in literature class, when I spotted Daniel and waved at him. He smiled at me, sat next to me and said "Good morning. You look really beautiful, today." Okay, that was undoubtedly a compliment. Then,he asked me "How about going for coffee after school?" I was ready to deny when a voice inside my head said: Say yes. It's just coffee. Besides, you like spending time with him.
"Okay. That will be fun." I replied. He smiled and turned his attention to the lesson. What just happened? I thought. Why am I still thinking about it? It's just coffee with a friend, right? No big deal. I tried to attend the lesson after that but not with many results.

Nick's POV
I was heading to class when I saw Diana sitting at the stairs crying. I stared at her. I knew that she hadn't been okay because of her break-up with Adam, but I had never seen her like that…so broken. I sat next to her and asked her softly "Diana, are you okay?"
When she realized she wasn't alone, she tried to wipe her tears and said "I'm fine, Nick. Go to class."
"Diana, it's okay to admit it hurts. You shouldn't hide it inside you." I told her letting some emotion in my voice.
She stared at me and said "Are you serious? Look who's talking. You never allow even a tingle of emotion appear in you and you pretend that your break-up with Cassie didn't hurt you at all! And you say that I should admit I am heartbroken! What about you, Nick? You should admit that you are so heartbroken that you can't even look at Cassie?"
I looked at her and realized she was right. "I'm sorry" I told her and then I put my arms around her and she started crying in my arms. She told me everything about how she was feeling and I told her everything, too. It felt good to open up to someone who can understand you.
….
After half an hour, I took her to her second class since we had lost the first. On my way to my class I kicked something on the floor. I looked down and saw that it was a wallet. For a moment I considered just leaving it there but then I thought its owner and decided to take it to the school principal. A tingle of curiosity passed through me and I opened the wallet to see who it belonged to. What I saw startled me. The picture at the ID in the wallet belonged to Daniel, but the name which was written in it was Christian Evans.
That was it. So what do you think about Daniel? Please Review! Good night!
