I KNOW I SAID THE TWENTY SIXTH
BUT I COULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER HERE YA GO NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE OUT WHEN I FEEL LIKE PUBLISHING IT CAUSE I PREWROTE IT YAY ME

Peddle to the floorboard
Eight up in a four door
Burning up a backroad song
Park it and we pile out
Baby watch your step now
Better have your boots on
Kick The Dust Up

"Cassaddee, you ready for this?" Dan asks me. I nod and grab my suitcase after shutting down my laptop and stuffing it inside. We walk out the door with Phil and down the road to the airport.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I will come visit for your guy's birthdays and for christmas, plus send you guys little plushies and stuff like that." I hug my flatmates of the past year and wave one last time before walking down to security.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk out of security, grinning that I'm back where I grew up. My phone goes off with a message from the groupchat with me, Maddie, Jordyn, Gabi, Jade, and my bestie from the U.K. Santina.

I lock my phone and stuff it in my back pocket, walking to the destination. I see my friends and run over to them.

"Hey Bitches!" I scream. Which results in the girls turning around, screaming, and crushing my bones in a hug.

"So where to first?" Maddie asks.

"Since the past year I've been asked to perform alot, first place is Starbucks for the manager's birthday. Leggo." We all walk to the Starbucks which is right near here and walk in. I walk up to the empty counter and smile at the barista.

"What can I get y'all? Wait PartyFangirl101 right?" I nod and he presses a button, a small stage coming from the back wall.

"Step right on up. Here's a mic." He hands me a mic with a gem studded base and I grab it, resting it on the mic stand on the stage. A girl walks out and I can tell she's the manager since they sent me a photo of her. I smile wider and switch the mic on, wirelessly connecting it to the speakers.

"Hey everyone. I was told it's the manager's birthday today so this is for you girly. Hope you have a special day." Jordyn comes up and starts to beatbox while Maddie does Avi's parts and Gabi sings Mitch's start to the song.

QUE SONG IN MEDIA BOX

It's 10 past 2
Still up thinking of you
If I showed you
Oh, I really want to
Would you stay
Then push me away?
I just can't return anymore
Timid heart
Hide my scars
Make me stronger
I can't take this any longer
I need, I need you like water
It's on the tip of my tongue
I'm not asking for much
Just your love and not another
'Cause your embrace
Keeps me warmer
Could I tell you this time
How I wish you were mine

As I end the first chorus, I look around the shop and see Scott and Mitch enter the shop, confused looks on their faces. I smile wider than ever and stare into Scott's eyes with my own. He sends me a look of utter confusion and my smile dies down but I keep going

My voice cracks
I wait for it to pass
Hearts beats fast
And words I can't take back
So I pray I don't drive you away
'Cause I'm scared of what
I have to tell you
Timid heart
Hide my scars
Make me stronger
I can't take this any longer
I need, I need you like water
It's on the tip of my tongue
I'm not asking for much
Just your love and not another
'Cause your embrace
Keeps me warmer
Could I tell you this time
How I wish you were mine

I let the girls take over the bridge as I take my mic out of the stand since they all got their own and walk over to Scott and Mitch. I wave at them and wink, and they get a disgusted look. I pull my phone out of my pocket with a saddened look on my face as the girls repeat the bridge and show the the picture we took together at the masquerade ball. Their eyes widen but I walk away after locking my phone.

We finish the song and I almost cry but keep strong for the manager's birthday.

"Happy Birthday girly!" Maddie yells. She thanks us and lets us keep our mics so we head to Gabi's house down the road.

"Cas, Scott and Mitch are home. You can go, they're right across the street." I look out the window in the living room and see a nice looking house.

"Kay. I'll text you later guys." I run off to the house and knock softly. Scott answers the door and smiles.

"CASSY YOU'RE BACK!!" He hugs me tight, hiding his face in the crook of my neck.

"Can't. Breathe." The blonde instantly lets go and directs me to my room. I walk in and see Mitch making the bed.
"I thought you didn't do work." Mitch jumps out of his skin from my voice and smiles widely.

"Hey you." He walks around the bed and hugs me tight, but not as bad as Scott.

"Sorry we didn't recognize you at Starbucks. It's been a long year."

"It's fine." He pulls back and kisses my forehead.

"I'll leave you to unpack." Mitch leaves the room and I pull out my phone to message Logan on Kik.

💚M!tchB!tchGrass!💚: Hey Logan!! It's been a while, how've ya been?

LoganCarthovia: Who are you?

💚M!tchB!tchGrass!💚: Cassaddee, your girlfriend?

LoganCarthovia: My girlfriend? I've never dated anyone

My phone falls from my hands. Did he just say that? He's joking... right?

Right?
