Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it. Just so you know Cassandra and Cassidy are the same person. Cassandra's nickname is Cassidy.
A Night to Remember and Forget
Catalina's POV
Christmas break had started. My older brother Jasper was visiting because he just finished another semester of University. My whole family went shopping for a Christmas tree this morning. Once we found the perfect one we brought it home to decorate. We only kept the ornaments that meant something to us so we had to buy some new ones this year.
Later on in the day my dad had to go to work. My mom was home for now but she said she was going to be out most of the night.
"Can Enzo eat dinner over here tonight?" I asked my mom
"Cat, sorry but it is going to be a no this time." My mom said
"Why?" I asked
"Your dad and I just are not comfortable if he is over here when neither of us are home." My mom said
"It's not like I'm going to be home alone with Enzo. Remember Jasper is here for a few weeks." I said
"True but I don't want Jasper to feel like he has stay home and watch you." My mom said
"Mom, It's fine. Catalina and I can watch a movie together. If she wants to invite Enzo over it doesn't really matter to me." Jasper said
Then our mom left.
"Please don't tell mom but I'm actually going out with friends." Jasper said
"You don't have any friends that live here." I said
"Actually I do. I didn't know until the flight last week but my roommate and a few of his friends live in another Philadelphia suburb." Jasper said
"So you are actually going to trust me alone." I said
"Yes but if Enzo comes over don't do anything our parents wouldn't want you to do." Jasper said
Jasper left and I immediately texted Enzo telling him he could come over if he wanted. He replied back yes almost right away. Enzo arrived to my house in less then an hour.
"I didn't expect you to come over here so fast." I said
"I had nothing else to do other then chores and Alex will do whatever chores I don't finish." Enzo said
"I know it's still a few days until Christmas but can I give you your gift early?" I asked
"Yes but I haven't gotten you anything yet." Enzo said
"Don't worry about it. I don't deserve a gift from you after the english paper scandal." I said
I gave Enzo his gift and he opened it.
"Wow, A Golden State Warriors NBA jersey. So this explains why you wanted to know my favorite basketball team." Enzo said
"The gift was actually my brothers idea but I'm glad you like it." I said
"Thank you Cat, I love this gift just as much as I love you." Enzo said
"Your welcome, I love you Enzo." I said
"What are your plans for the rest of break?" Enzo asked
"I want to spend more time with you." I said
"So your family just left you home alone." Enzo said
"My dad is working like usual. My mom had some book party tonight. Jasper went out with friends." I said
"When will I meet your older brother?" Enzo asked
"He is only home for like 2 more weeks and then he won't be back for awhile." I said
"That must be hard not having your brother around much." Enzo said
"When we still lived in Colorado Jasper would be home on the weekends sometimes. Sports kept him busy but he always had time for family. Now he will hardly be around because college baseball season extends past the end of spring semester which means that Jasper will be gone for at least half of the summer." I said
Enzo and I ate dinner. Then we spent time talking in my bedroom. We went from talking to making out. That moment I felt ready even though Enzo and I had never talked about his past. I had a boyfriend before but we never went all the way. I didn't know if Enzo has ever gone all the way with a girl or not which makes me a little unsure of my self at the moment.
"I don't think this is such a good idea." Enzo said
"Why not?" I asked
"Cat I don't want to pressure you into things that you are not ready for yet." I said
"I am ready for this Enzo." I said
I closed my bedroom door so we could continue without being interrupted just in case my mom, dad, or brother got home.
"Are you even on the pill?" Enzo asked
"No but as long as you have protection we should be ok." I said
"I have a condom but I still think we should talk about this before we rush into things." Enzo said
"Fine lets talk." I said
I found out that Enzo has never had sex before. It made me feel better that both of us were going to experience this for the first time. Enzo and I went back to making out on my bed. It wasn't long before things did go further then just kissing. Moments after we were done I heard someone walking up the stairs and then a knock on my door.
"Can you give me a minute, I'm changing." I said
After I put cloths back on and I made Enzo hide before I opened the door. Thankfully it was just my brother but somehow he figured out what Enzo and I had been doing.
"Cat why did you do exactly what I told you not to do. Mom and dad are going to be so mad at you." Jasper said
"Mom and dad are not going to find out about this." I said
"They will if you end up pregnant." Jasper said
"Jasper I'm not stupid. Enzo and I used protection." I said
"I understand Cat because I lost mine was I was 16 but I thought you would be smart enough to wait until you are 18." Jasper said
Jasper walked away and then Enzo left. Before our parents got home that night Jasper did talk to me again.
"I should have known you would do something like that. After all it was my decision to leave you alone when I knew you would have your boyfriend over." Jasper said
"Enzo and I really love each other." I said
"I see that but I just hope that the two of you don't break up after high school." Jasper said
"Have you talked to Cassandra at all in the last three years?" I asked
"She emailed me a few weeks ago. Cassidy applied to do her senior year internship at UC - Denver medical school. She wanted a letter of recommendation from our dad. I felt so bad having to tell her that he no longer works there." Jasper said
"If you and Cassidy both do your senior year internship at UC - Denver medical school then maybe you two will get back together." I said
"I have other options. I'm considering applying for senior year internship at U Penn - Medical school." Jasper said
"Why would you do that?" I asked
"I would be a lot closer to you and our parents." Jasper said
"True but if you stay at UC - Denver then you can still play college football and baseball for another year." I said
"I can still play football and baseball at U Penn. The only difference would be the team I was playing on and the school I was playing for." Jasper
"Do what you want Jasper but Cassidy will be mad if she ends up at UC - Denver next year and you decide to go transfer to another school." I said
"I'm sure Cassandra moved on so even if we went to the same school next year that doesn't mean we would start dating again." Jasper said
"Cassidy was dating this guy and they got engaged but she broke it off last month." I said
"How do you know all that about my ex girlfriend?" Jasper asked
"Cassandra and I are Facebook friends." I said
"I get that Cassidy was like a big sister to you but isn't it a little weird considering how long her and I have been broken up?" Jasper asked
Before I could answer that question our mom got home. Before she could ask me was I was still awake I told her I was going to bed. I didn't go to bed right away because I went on to my Facebook and sent Cassandra a quick message.
"I thought it might be nice if you surprised Jasper for Christmas. I know he misses you even though he doesn't want to admit it." I sent Cassandra
"Great idea. Email me your address and I will buy the plane ticket." Cassandra replied
I sent Cassidy an email before I went to bed. The next morning when I check my emails she had already booked a flight to Philly.
It is now the day before Christmas eve and Cassandra's flight was getting in this afternoon.
"Jasper, can I borrow your rental car?" I asked
"If you tell me where you need to go or I can just drive you." Jasper said
"I'm just going to the gymnastics place so I can get a few hours of practice in." I lied
"Where is your gym bag?" Jasper asked
"Elizabeth has it because I left it in her brothers car last time we had practice." I said truthfully because I actually did leave me bag in JT Cavanaughs car.
On the way to the Philadelphia airport I stopped at the Cavanaughs house and picked up my gym bag. There were only a few houses in Rosewood bigger then the one I lived in and the Cavanaughs house was one of them. I got to the airport and Cassandra's flight arrived just in time.
"Thanks for inviting me." Cassandra said
"I just wanted to do something special for Jasper." I said
"Does he ever talk about me?" Cassandra asked
"Yes, he misses you and I still don't understand why the two of you had to break up." I said
"It was just the long distance that messed with our relationship. I keep thinking that if I had followed Jasper to UC - Denver instead of going to UCLA then we might have stayed together. I only decided to go to UCLA because I got an athletic scholarship." Cassandra said
"So are you still doing gymnastics?" I asked
"Yes but for me it's more about fun then winning. I'm not like you because my goal is to become a nurses so my focus is more on school then gymnastics." Cassandra said
"I am still trying to stay on track to compete in gymnastics at the summer Olympics." I said
I got home with Cassandra and Jasper was really surprised to see her. I told her to hide for a few minutes so Jasper didn't see Cassandra just yet.
"Cat, I thought you were going to the gymnastics place." Jasper said
"I actually went to pick up my gym bag from the Cavanaughs but I had something else better to do them gymnastics." I said
I motioned for Cassandra to come out of hiding.
"Surprise." Cassandra said
"Let me guess, Cat went to the airport to pick you up?" Jasper asked
"Yes and this surprise visit was all Cat's idea." Cassandra said
"Wow Cat, this explains why you have been so secretive the last few days." Jasper said
"I wanted to do something really special for you this Christmas." I said
"How long are you staying Cassidy?" Jasper asked
"I figured I would stay here until it was time for me to go back to UCLA." Cassidy said
I didn't know if my plan would work but both Jasper and Cassidy seemed happy to be spending time together. During the time that Cassidy was in town visiting Jasper I also got to hang out with her. The day arrived that Cassidy had to go back to the airport so she could go back to UCLA. Jasper also had to go to the airport on the same day so he could go back to UC - Denver. I wanted to ask if they had gotten back together yet but I figured Jasper would tell me if him and Cassandra were dating again.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter because I did. I will try to update more often.
