Why Would We Change a Thing?

William’s P.O.V

“What the fuck happened?” I ask Sisky softly, still standing.

“Nicole is what happened” he blankly answered

“What did she do?”

“Well, she literally talked trash to Cass. First, she bragged about your two and a half long relationship basically telling Cass to her face that she is no good for you then she brought up sex, if you know what I mean”

“What?” I react a little too loud

Everyone on the table looked at me.

“Yup, that’s what happened in the span of minutes while you were getting this ice cream” Sisky muttered as he started eating the ice cream I got for me and Cass. All I could do was watch him. I am too shocked

I look at Steph and the others. They looked pissed as hell also. I turn my attention to Nicole, who was acting like nothing happened. I glare at her and immediately left the table to talk to Cass. I am always scared of seeing a crying girl because I don’t know what to say but this is Cass we are talking about. I have to make her feel better. I don’t care if I suck at it, but I just have to, I need to, I want to.

Cass’ P.O.V

I walked fast to the house and wiped the tears that managed to trail down my cheeks as I walk away from the table. The sex card just sent me over the edge. I never thought she’d say that. I mean, I didn’t have to have it spit out to my face that they already had sex a lot of times. That’s something that the ex-girlfriend should never bring up to anyone, especially the current girlfriend. Doesn’t she know that? I felt myself sobbing as I enter the bathroom. I shut it and fell down on the floor. I feel so weak and abused.

I was honestly avoiding hurting her or offending her but she did all that to me with no consideration of my feelings. I just don’t get her. I feel so bad. I feel like I am such a bad girlfriend and now I feel like I am degraded as a person.

After a few minutes, I hear knocking on the door.

“Cass, please come out” I hear Sisky say

“Come on” Steph said

“Don’t mind that bitch” I laughed softly as I hear Mike

“You’re stronger than that Cass” Michael added

“Guys, please, just let me talk to her privately?” I hear Will say

“Fine, just call us if she comes out OK?” Sisky said

“Sure”

I hear fading footsteps and then Will’s voice came again

“Cass, please open the door” he whispered, as he turned the knob, but failing to open it because I locked it the moment I step into the bathroom

I just listen to his voice, contemplating on whether I would open the door or not.

“Please, Cass, I want to go in there with you, don’t leave me here. I want to cry with you or be the one to comfort you”

I laughed a little too loud as I hear this

“You laughed. That means you hear me” he chuckled

“I look so bad” I mutter standing up before leaning on the door

“I don’t care how bad you look like. All I care about is you, Cass, you and only you” he mumbled

“Fine, but don’t laugh” I mutter

“No way” he said

I slowly opened the door and I see Will leaning on the doorway, looking worried as ever

“Oh, Cass!” he exclaimed and enveloped me with a tight hug “I am so sorry about her. I should have been there. Don’t cry please.” He said as he continued hugging me

“I am better now because of you” I whisper

He pulled away and looked into my eyes.

“Are you sure?” he bent down to my eye level so he can see me better.

“Yeah, of course” I smile weakly

“Cass, don’t ever let her get into your head like that. I am so sorry I wasn’t there with you. I could have—“

“Hey, it’s all good now. Besides, I really should have been more patient with her”

“Don’t even try and blame yourself for what she did Cassie. It’s not your fault.” Will seriously said

I just sigh and then nodded.

“I know you are naturally kind hearted but please, don’t let anyone treat you like that. Don’t let her step on you like what she did. You have to learn to fight back and defend yourself when needed.”

“Sisky and the others did help me though” I say

“Good thing they were there to fight for you or who knows, Nicole might have completely disgraced you in front of all those people”

“Thank god they were there for me” I mumble

“Don’t worry. I’ll always be here for you. I won’t let that happen again, not when I am around, I promise you. Don’t cry over what happened OK? She’s not worth your precious tears” he said as he wiped the stray tears away from my face then kissed my forehead.

We both stood there, close to each other. He never let go of me and I honestly felt safe in his arms, like nothing that Nicole would say can hurt me or offend me anymore.

“Shouldn’t you call them already? I have a feeling they are still waiting outside” I say as I remember Steph and the others

“Oh yeah, I forgot about them but can I be with you alone a little longer?” he pouted

“Another time, William, not now” I smile to him

“Alright I’ll call them” he complied as he proceeded to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, I see them all marching inside.

“Cass are you okay?” Steph was the first one to speak

“Yeah, I am now. Don’t worry too much about me”

“Aww, I’ll kill that bitch for you, just tell me when” she said as she hugged me

“That will never happen. I wouldn’t want to bail you out of jail you know” I joked

“I honestly can’t believe you let her do that to you, to think, you were stopping us from doing anything bad to her” Mike muttered

“Turns out, she’s the one who will hurt you” Michael added

“I am thinking of kicking her out my party” Sisky said

“Oh, don’t. Just let her be. It would just ruin the mood of your party” I tell Sisky

“I wouldn’t mind. I’d love to kick her out” he said flatly

“Thanks, but no thanks. I am fine now, anyway, no harm done ok? Now, let’s go back like nothing happened. Just say I got a bad stomach if anyone asks” I say to all of them

“Fine”

“If that’s what you want”

“You are so unbelievingly nice Cass”

“If I were you I could have talked trash to her by now”

They all say at the same time as they all exit the crowded bathroom.

I sigh and looked down the floor. They are such good friends. They care about me and I really appreciate all of it. I feel arms wrap around my hips and sweet kisses being drawn on my neck.

“Beckett, do you mind telling me what the heck you are doing?’ I giggle because the kisses he was giving me were tickling me

“Kissing my noble and understanding girlfriend” he mumbled through my hair

“You’re tickling me!” I say in the middle of giggles

“I don’t care, I feel like kissing you now” he mumbled against my skin

“Will!”

He finally pulled away, but our faces were still so near.

“Cass, I just don’t know what to say to you right now. I don’t know how to explain how I feel for you. All the feelings are all mixed up and I don’t know how to make you feel all of it, with nothing being left. You are such an amazing girl, and I love love love love you so so so so so much!” he whispered to me

“Wow, that is seriously so much love” I muse at him

“I am serious. I honestly haven’t felt this way for any other girl. You are the first girl I have ever felt this intense feeling for” he said softly to me as he grasped my waist nearer his

“Really? I feel so special now” I answer

“You are truly special Cass” he said then kissed me again

I rested my head on his shoulder and let him kiss me as much as he wanted. If that was the only way he could express his feelings then so be it. I wrapped my right arm around his neck. It was kinda hard to do that considering the fact that I wasn’t facing him. My back was leaning against him as he deeply kissed every inch of my neck. I could feel him getting hard behind me. Wow, he really had strong and overpowering feelings right there because he haven’t even kissed me for long yet and he is getting hard already.

I had to stop this before he gets too hard and then it would be hard to fix that as we are in a party right now. A party that is supposedly be decent.

“Will” I breathed as I let go of his neck

“Hmm?’ he mumbled

“I think we should stop before things get out of hand.”

“Why? I don’t want to stop” he said as he continued kissing my neck

“Come on Will, have control”

He laughed then pulled away a little

“Why is it that you are always the one saying that?”

“Because I am the girl and thus the responsible one. This is not the right time and place for whatever you are thinking of doing” I say to him
