(20) Quick! Hide If You Want To Live!

😇Cassie's Pov😇

Oh goody! It's the morning again! Time to wake up and have a great day and eat a great breakfast!

Oh what a happy happy day! Sunshines, unicorns and rainbows-oh my!

Except, it's not.

By this point, if you haven't realized I'm not a morning person, you're mentally retarded or need serious help.

I quickly get out of bed though because I realize, it's a Saturday and today I get to see Ashton! I get ready quickly and decide I'm not going to go downstairs for breakfast yet. I mean, it's only 8:24.

And I have time to have a...

Life Crisis Dance Party!

To quickly inform you, a Life Crisis Dance Party is when you throw an epic dance party for the useless, poor, starving, or needy.

As you can see, I'm pretty much most of these. I'm desperate for this so don't judge me.

I turn on Pandora in my room and put it on the loudest level of volume there is. And before you know it, I'm jamming out in my bed.

"I wanna follow where she goeeeeess! I think about her and she knows ittttt! Blah blah blah, THERES NOTHING HOLDING ME BACK!"

"AND THERES NOTHING HOLDING ME BACK FROM GETTING DEAF BECAUSE YOU'RE MUSIC IS LOUD ENOUGH!" A voice yells from the room beside me.

Oh how I missed the sweet sound of my very pleasant brother.

________________________________

I hop off the car and look at The Wayford's house again.

Don't talk to him. Don't look at him. Don't even think about him...

This is going to be torture.

"Thanks mom. You'll be here at 6:00, right?"

"Yes honey. Don't stress yourself out about Carter. I know you two will make it up. Love you!" She blows a kiss at me and drives away.

"Love you too." I mutter, staring at the car driving off.

Now I'm left alone. Who knows what could happen tonight.

I make my way to the front door that's already open and knock on it.

No one answers.

I walk right into the house and look around. This place seems unusually quiet...

"Hey Cassie!"

Oh my freaking fudgeballs. That scared me so bad!

"Hi Mrs. Wayford!" I reply black. I honestly don't know what else to say, but I know she'll inform me about everything.

"I was just about to leave. Help yourself to anything you'd like in the kitchen. I don't want to stress you too much about Carter because..."

Aw shit, does everyone know about what happened?!

"I know what happened. He's up in his room being very introverted right now. Ashton should be upstairs in his room or in the twin's or Carter's. Oh my, I have to leave... Keep safe Cassie!" She smiles. "And please talk to Carter. He's been so...grouchy ever since last night." She frowns.

Haha. Like I'm actually going to talk to him. :p

And then I'm on my way up to Ashton's room, hoping that he's not in Carter's.

I peep into his bedroom. Lights off, no Ashton.

I head off towards the twins's room. I look inside and find them playing video games.

"Have you guys seen Ashton?" I ask, not trying to be annoyed by their loud obnoxiousness.

Which is very hard.

"Nope. Have you talked to Carter?" They snicker. I just roll my eyes and slam the door shut.

Why do you have to do this to me Ashton!

I walk over to the room I dreaded to go into the most...Which I would've thought at first it would've been the bathroom but nope. It's Carter's room.

I open the bedroom door just a smidge. I don't see Ashton, nor Carter! I carefully tiptoe my way in, knowing I might regret this later. I look all over for Ashton, because this would be the only place left. I look in his closet, under his bed, and even behind his massage chair.

Who knew Carter would need massages. Haha.

I take one last look at the room before I leave. Then something on his shelf catches my eye. More like three things actually.

I walk up to a picture frame right next to all of his trophies. The picture is of a girl on Carter's back, laughing her ass off.

Oh my god!

That girl is me!

And im in the next picture!...One where I'm drenched in the school fountain and we were smiling at each other. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

The next one I'm also in. This time this picture was more recent. It was a picture of him chasing me and Ashton.

I run my hand over the smooth glass protecting the picture underneath.

Maybe he actually did care about me...Maybe I should've listened to him instead.

And then I hear voices and my instincts tell me, "Quick, hide if you want to live!"

And you know what? I follow those instincts. I dive right under his bed. A pretty bad hiding spot, but I had literally no time to find somewhere else.

Cut me some slack guys.

Ow, my head.

I can see two tiny feet come through the door and two feet that are much bigger.

Ashton and Carter.

"Did you talk to Cassie yet?!" Ashton whines, stomping his feet.

"No, Ash. I don't think I'm going to be talking to her anytime soon." I hear Carter say, and he jumps on his bed.

Ow, its squishing me.

"Talk to her then! Talk to her right now Carter! Please!" I can hear Ashton start to cry and I have to hold back my tears because I can see how sad he is.

Poor Ashton...

"I'm sorry Ash, but I'm not going to talk to her. It's not going to happen. At least, I would try to if she would let me fucki-freaking explain." I hear a thud on the floor and assume Carter kicked something off his bed. "You should go downstairs now. She should be here any time anyways."

"I'm not going down unless you come with me and you talk to her!" I hear him plead, still crying.

I'm honestly dying because Ashton is crying. I can't bear it.

"Fine. I'll go down, but I'm not talking to her."

This makes Ashton stop crying, but he's still sniffling and it's breaking my heart to see him like this.

Is he like this everyday? Because of me and Carter?

I feel the pressure off my head so I assume Carter jumped off and I see them making their way out of their room.

Phew. I got that over with.

I wiggle myself out of under the bed and I'm about to leave when I realize the footsteps are coming back and my heart starts to race.

"Hold on Ash, let me grab my phone real quick."

The footsteps are getting closer and closer. I think about diving under the bed again, but it's no use because Carter is standing at the door with the funniest expression.

What? I can still make fun of him, can't I?

"Why the hell are you in my room!?" He snaps. I don't make eye contact so I just stare at the ground.

"Calm yourself. I was just looking for Ashto-"

"You didn't look around did you?" He narrows his eyes at me, raising an eyebrow.

"Maybe I did...Now if you will let me me go down to Ashton..." I roll my eyes. I make way to the door and try to get out, but Carter blocks me.

"We need to talk."
