Crying With A Broken Heart
"YOUR WHAT!," Casey said standing up and yelling at Ashleigh.
"I'm dating Cappie," Ashleigh said again with a smirk.
"Wait why on earth are you dating Cappie, when did it happen, when did you start even liking him I mean come on Ash Cappie of all people." Casey said her face turning red.
"Ok calm down Case take a deep breath and I will explain everything to you and Rusty who was still as a rock sitting on the bed," Ashleigh said doing a breathing exercise hoping Casey would do it with her.
Casey didn't listen she just started pacing around the room waiting for Ashleigh to speak.
"Well, Ashleigh started saying when you and Cappie broke up I could see you were heartbroken so I went to see Cappie and try to convince him to take you back, but then I started listening to him about how much passion and love he has and it just got me thinking that Cappie has changed a lot since freshman year and how he could be an amazing boyfriend and not to mention he is incredibly HOT," Ashleigh said smiling.
"OK STOP I've heard enough," Casey said with tear swollen eyes and a frown.
"Casey," Ashleigh said giving Casey a hug.
"I am so sorry it's just that me and Cappie clicked to me and then when you were in the shower tonight I couldn't take it anymore and I confronted him about the way I feel about him and he said he feels the same way and we just hung out and were dating now," Ashleigh said stepping away from Casey.
"But why Cappie," Casey said with a few tears escaping from her eyes.
Ashleigh hated seeing Casey hurt but she knew that it would be worth it after it is over.
"There's just something about him that I can't get enough of," Ashleigh said starting to daydream.
"Ok please no details," Casey said putting her hands on her stomach like she was about to throw up.
"No I mean not that kind of can't get enough of I mean Cappie I just realized we have feelings for each we didn't just want to hop into bed we wanted to tell you and Rusty first before we did that," Ashleigh said.
"Well thanks for waiting for our approval," Casey said rolling her eyes.
"What's that supposed to mean," Ashleigh said noticing Casey said that with a insolent tone.
"It means why would you break the girl code and date the person I love and not tell me until it suits you and when you want my approval which I am not going to give you," Casey said standing her ground.
"Wow Case I thought you of all people would understand," Ashleigh said before getting cut off.
"Understand what! That you broke our trust and know how I feel about Cappie and just decided since Casey's not dating him why don't I try to sink my hooks in him," Casey said through her tears.
"Case you know that's not what I did," Ashleigh said starting to tear up.
"Really do I know that because to me it just sounds like you were desperate for a boyfriend and said hey Cappie and Casey are broken up and Cappie's easy to get into bed so why don't I give it a try," Casey said still heavily crying.
"Casey stop, don't attack Ashleigh because trust me you will regret it, no matter how mad you are right now," Rusty said as he sat up and comforted Casey.
"I don't think I'm the person Casey wants to see right now so I'm just going to go and let you to talk," Ashleigh said as she walked out of the girls bedroom.
"Come on Case why don't you sit down," Rusty said trying to walk with Casey to her bed.
"No I don't want to sit or think or feel or anything, tell me Russ how can my best friend and the love of my life have feelings with each other and get together in less than a two week break up," Casey said stiffening her body wanting to punch something.
"Casey relax you are upset and that's understandable but if you keep this up your not going to be able to move on," Rusty said looking in Casey's eyes.
"Well what if I don't want to move on," Casey said finally sitting down on her bed with her head glued to the bottom of the floor.
"Casey what do you mean you don't want to move on?" Rusty asked confused.
"I mean I am graduating and going off to Washington that's been my goal for awhile but I don't think I'm ready to let go of Cappie either," Casey said starting to let tears fall from her eyes.
"Hey I thought you were done crying," Rusty said with a small smile.
"Yeah well Cappie just get's to me I guess," Casey said.
"Well you said you weren't ready to let him go so even though I am against it are you thinking about staying at CRU?" Rusty asked.
There was a brief silence.
"No," Casey said with a deep breath.
"I made a promise to myself that even though I am not with Cappie I will still go to Washington and kick some lawyer's ass as much as I will hurt," Casey said with a small smirk.
"Well I am glad to hear that," Rusty said trying to be convincing.
"Ok your not very enthusiastic about my words what's up," Casey said turning to Rusty.
"You know that I love you and I will support any of your decisions and I don't want you to second guess yourself but I think I should tell you," Rusty said stuttering.
"Spit it out," Casey said hit Rusty on the arm playfully.
"It's just that you say you made a promise to yourself to be an amazing lawyer and I have no doubt about that, it's the can you do it without Cappie part I am worried about." Rusty said with an apprehensive facial expression.
Casey's face turned stern .
"Please don't hurt me," Rusty said shielding his face.
"I'm not going to hurt you Casey said with a smile, it's the just what you said kind of caught me off guard that's all," Casey said lifting Rusty up from a rocking position.
"Well can you answer the question then, can you live your life without Cappie?" Rusty asked.
Casey closed her eyes.
"It doesn't matter if I can, I am going to have to learn to not lean on him or rely on him and not have him in my life," Casey said trying to stay strong.
"Do you think you can do it?" Rusty asked curiously.
"I am Casey Cartwright I can do anything," Casey said trying to reassure Rusty and herself most of all.
"Well what about Cappie and Ashleigh," Rusty said frowning.
Casey sighed, "wow I really wished you wouldn't bring them up," Casey sighed standing up.
"Casey like you said Ash is your best friend and your obviously not over Cappie so are you going to be able to let them be together or are you going to plot revenge against them and make them pay," Rusty said in a stern deep voice.
Casey couldn't help but laugh.
"No I'm not going to plot revenge against them I am just upset and maybe a little bit jealous," Casey said.
"A little bit come on Case you talked trash about Ash saying she desperate for a guy and took your second's," Rusty said.
"Oh god your right, I trashed my best friend because I am jealous, what's wrong with me," Casey said.
"Nothing you were upset and you said something that you didn't mean to say you just acted in to moment," Rusty said giving Casey another hug.
"Yeah but I still had no right to do that," Casey said.
"OK true but you just needed time to relax," Rusty said his hands on her shoulders.
"Your right," Casey said.
The room was quit.
"So what do you think of Cappie and Ashleigh,"Casey asked.
"Well I guess it's a little weird considering Cap is my big brother," Rusty said.
"And the fact you have feelings for Ash," Casey said.
"What are you talking about me and Ashleigh are just friends," Rusty said.
"Yeah but I see the way you talk to her and look at her," Casey said smiling.
"I am not talking to you about me and Ash," Rusty said walking towards the door.
"Fine but when you feel like you wan to talk about it I'll be here," Casey said.
"Thanks Case but before you go to bed or do whatever you girls do we have something to do or should I say sort things out with a specific someone," Rusty said grabbing Casey's hand and storming out of the room.
It was almost to in the morining in Cyprus Rhodes and while most people were sleeping the Kappa Tau's were wide awake talking like sorority girls sitting around the living room drinking out of red cups filled with beer.
Ashleigh entered the Kappa Tau house loud and quit determined to talk to a certain member of the fraternity.
"Ashleigh hey," Beaver said noticing she was about to walk up the steps.
"Oh hey you guys what are you doing up this late or early in the morning," Ashleigh said trying to hurry up the conversation.
"We could ask you the same question ,better yet what are you doing in our house not that your not welcome a beautiful girl like you is always welcome," Beaver said slightly blushing.
"AW thanks Beave but I am actually here to see Cappie and talk to him about a project we're working on together any idea where he is?" Ashleigh asked looking around the room.
"Um yeah he's up in his room alone in case your wondering he won't be in action for a while with the whole Casey situation," Beaver said with a pouty face.
"Yeah that is sad, well got to go check up with him on that project don't want to fail," Ashleigh said before heading up the Kappa Tau stairs to the president's room.
"Knock, knock," Ashleigh said as she opened the door.
"Ash hey what are you doing here I thought you would be at home telling Casey our big romance that's been going on," Cappie said sitting up from his bed full of books and making room for Ashleigh.
"Well you look busy I mean look at that pile of work, have you been working since we talked at the bar earlier today?" Ashleigh said not wanting to tell Cappie what happened at her house before.
"Uh yeah I am actually glad you showed up I could really use a break from these books," Cappie said pushing the current book he was reading to the side.
Ashleigh giggled, "well I hope it's not to bad if you want Casey back you are going to have to work hard and earn it."
"Yeah the books might be hard but since I never chose a major and just went with what I wanted to do at that moment it's not to bad, but I want to know did you tell Casey about us," Cappie asked not forgetting the previous question he asked before.
Ashleigh was hesitant.
"Ash," Cappie asked in a heartbreaking voice.
"Yes I told Casey about us," Ashleigh said with one breath.
"So how did she take it?" Cappie asked.
"Not the best," Ashleigh said .
"Well what, wait Ash have you been crying?" Cappie asked noticing Ashleigh eyes were red and teary.
"Yeah it's a long story of what went down tonight," Ashleigh said.
"Well then give me the condensed version," Cappie demanded.
"Well when I told Casey we were dating she went crazy which I was expecting but I wasn't expecting her to go off the rails and say that I am desperate enough for a boyfriend or someone to sleep with that I would take her seconds and she said that since you are easy to get I gave it a try and also said that I broke the girl come and stole you the love of her life," Ashleigh said her eyes starting to swell up.
"Oh my god Casey said that to you," Cappie said with a horrified expression.
"Yeah but Cap I don't think I can go along with this plan anymore I can't stand seeing Casey hurt and the way she talked to me was so cold," Ashleigh said her eyes then pouring out tears.
"Shhh it's going to be ok if you can get through tonight we can confront Casey and my brothers tomorrow ok," Cappie said rubbing Ashleigh back.
"Oh speaking of brothers Rusty was there when I told Casey about you and me," Ashleigh said through sniffs.
Cappie sighed, "well I guess one down twenty seven more to go," Cappie said with a smile.
Ashleigh laughed, "Rusty was the one who told Casey to back off and at that point I had to get out of there and let her cool down and I just came here from there," Ashleigh said.
"Yeah that was probably a good idea, so are you going to keep going with this plan," Cappie asked.
"I've been thinking and as much as I hate to see my best friend hurt and for her to hate me, I guess it's worth it when it's over," Ashleigh said smiling.
"Awesome and Ash I really am sorry Casey acted like that knowing Casey I would have just thought she would be shocked of coarse but try to shrug it off and be silently jealous that is totally noticeable," Cappie said.
"Yeah but this was my plan and it's all or nothing at this point so we just have to let it play out ok," Ashleigh said making sure Cappie understood.
Ok, and with that the two hugged.
As Cappie and Ash were in an embrace the door flew open.
Standing at the door was Rusty and Casey.
As the two realized someone was in the room with them then quickly let go of each other.
"Rusty," Ashleigh said locking eyes with him.
"Casey," Cappie said locking eyes with the beautiful blonde who was sobbing in front of him.
