Cassandra clenched her stomach. ' Gosh I'm so hungry' just then Ellie walked in with a bag of food in her hands ' Thanks goodness ' Cassandra said Eloise handed her the bag , she was ready to devour the food . She has been unconscious for five days and if her quests was right, she haven't had anything in her stomach for five consecutive days. ' Ohhhh c'mon ' she just couldn't wait to munch everything in the bag and probably more Eliose sat quietly and watched her eat , Cassie knew Ellie was nervous and was avoiding her . Nicholas walked in , Ellie jumped up like she has been waiting for this moment to come . ' Hey Cassandra, good to see you vibrant and finally awake, you gave us a shock . Eloise has been worried sick about you' ' I'm so sorry for the stress you both went through all because of me ' she apologized still eating with keen interest ' It's okay Cassie ' Nick said ' Ellie, please can i have more food ' she begged. Eloise giggled ' right away, Nicholas came with me, I need t
Three days of close watch on Cassandra, the doctor confirmed and fit to go home.She waited anxiously since the day she regained consciousness for this day to come .' Cassie, I have to call the hotel to check out . Nicholas will get our luggages from the hotel later,' Eloise said, still busy packing.' Ohhh , that great ' Cassandra remembered everything that happened to her , she probably hates Eloise for trying to hide everything from her . She badly wants to ask Eloise why but right now is not the best time , she has to remain calm so she can finally leave this place . The doctor confirmed she was okay but not perfectly stable and advised her to stay away from pressure and stress . Eloise would probably freak out if she asked all the binding questions inside her , if she does Eloise will ask the doctor to let her back here which she definitely doesn't want. She resisted the urge of asking about Jason , so many questions that urgently needed answers ran through her head .' It's a
Cassandra smiled as she pulled into the parking garage of her boyfriend's law firm. She was excited about surprising him with lunch from his favourite restaurant.She was looking forward to seeing him today so she could finally catch up.Since Johnathan had been working a lot of extra hours lately, trying to make partner at his law firm and she felt like she hadn't seen him much at all for the past several weeks.He'd been so busy with work that they barely took time to spend any quality time together as a couple, so she hoped he would be free for lunch today.Cassandra bounced across the parking lot toward her boyfriend's office building feeling the warm, late spring sunshine on her face.As she neared the building, the doorman greeted her, "Good afternoon Miss Miller."The doorman, Mr. Wilks, was a heavily bearded old man with very little hair on his head. He greeted everyone and was always polite and respectful, no matter how lowly they were."Good afternoon Mr. Wilks. Beautiful da
Cassandra reached the parking lot and threw herself into her car, and drove off in a frenzy, screeching tires as she left. Weaving in and out of traffic, Cassandra sped toward home with a heavy heart.Once she arrived safely back home, she parked her car and ran inside to the refuge of her little two-bedroom cottage, and threw herself down onto her bed.The tears came fast and hard, flowing freely down her cheeks like waterfalls. They fell silently onto her pillow, staining it, as she buried her head into it.Tears for a guy she had spent two years of her life with, only to find him entwined in the arms of his trashy assistant.The weight on her shoulders felt like it was crushing her, as her chest heaved and her eyes burned and stung. She was sobbing so hard that it felt like someone had taken her soul from her body and was trying to wring the last vestiges of life out of it.She screamed at the betrayal that she had just uncovered. She was so angry she couldn't think straight, as ma
Cassandra awoke around noon the next day with a pounding headache and a queasy stomach. Those vodka shots did the trick for a good night's sleep but did absolutely nothing for her mood today.She slowly pulled herself out of bed and went straight for the shower hoping the hot water would have a therapeutic effect on her, both physically and mentally.After her shower, she headed into the kitchen to get some coffee when she found Eloise's note."Hmm, wonder what this is all about?" she thought.Cassandra dialed Eloise's number as she sipped the steaming cup of caffeinated heaven that would have her up and at 'em in no time!"Cassie... how are you feeling today?" Eloise teased upon answering the phone."Still not great. What's with this note?" Cassandra's curiosity was peaked."Well, you remember the band Blue Moon that we loved when we were in high school?""Oh... yeah! How could I forget? Geeze, we must have listened to them every single day after school. What about them?""They are d
The next few days dragged by in a numb haze. But, when Cassandra awoke Friday morning, she finally felt happy about the concert later that evening.Though she still felt so heavy-hearted over heartbreak, she knew going out with Eloise was going to be good for her.She spent the next several hours catching up on her work, returning calls and emails; so that she didn't have to deal with anything work-related once Eloise came over for pre-concert cocktails later that evening.Cassandra took a quick break to make a snack when she heard her text message indicator chime on her phone. She just knew that it had to be Eloise checking in on her and finalizing the details for their night out.To Cassandra's surprise, it was a text from Johnathan.She had not heard from him since a few days ago and had thought he had finally got the hint and given up.Boy, was she wrong."Cassandra, I miss you so much. Please call me... I want to see you. I really want to try and work things out. Can't we start o
An hour later, it was finally Cassandra and Eloise's turn to go into the room, and the short gentleman from earlier came to the door and invited them in."Hello ladies, I'm Max Pittman, and I'm the manager for Blue Moon. Follow me right over here."When they reached the large room, Cassandra could see the band members, and her eyes shot instantly to Jason Cole.Eloise was right; he was still as gorgeous now as he was years ago when she first saw him on television. She could see him chatting with his bandmates, Andy and Kyle, smiling away as he showed off his pearly white teeth and crazy sexy dimples.Their attention turned to Max and the girls as they approached, and Cassandra caught Jason's eyes as they walked toward them. Before Max could even start introductions and get the process started, Jason spoke up first."Hello, I'm Jason Cole." He said in a deep voice with a sexy British accent. He stuck his hand out for Cassandra to grab, and at that moment, he just about took her breath
The girls took their seats, which were just inches from the stage. Cassandra could see every detail of the opening band's instruments as the stage crew brought them out onto the stage and set everything up. She could see people shuffling about backstage getting ready for the opening performance."Wow, look how close we are, Cassie!" teased Eloise. "You can reach out and touch Jason from here!"Cassandra was now feeling rather ecstatic to be seeing him perform in person, and being so close to the stage was definitely a plus!Especially after meeting him in person just an hour or so before. Thoughts of their meeting earlier that evening crept into her head, and she couldn't seem to shake the image from her mind of that gorgeous face smiling down at her.She quickly brushed it off as she figured it was just the after-effects of meeting her former teen crush.(•)As the generic background music faded out and the lights dimmed, the murmur of the chattering crowd grew quiet in eager anticip
