Why Would We Change a Thing?

I finally got out of the after a few more days. I recovered a little fast actually. Maybe Will’s absence helped me a lot. I can’t believe I didn’t talk to him for a full month. I thought the band’s “break” from tour would be a good one for all of us but it wasn’t at all. The whole band felt awkward about me and Will breaking up. They thought I would also get mad at them and send them away. Of course they were wrong.

After a few days, they finally visited me in our apartment, without Will of course. They now come in fours every time they go to our apartment. I can also feel that they always try to avoid the subject of Will. They don’t even say his name around me anymore. I wonder what he is up to. They never talk about him around me.

I know this separation is good for both of us. I know it is even though it hurts like hell. I don’t wanna get hurt anymore so this is just the right thing. He can come back to me if he wanted but if not, I’ll just have to accept the truth.

Now, Sisky is running around in our apartment while the others just did their own business. I smiled at all my friends’ happy faces. I am glad. At least they are happy. Never mind me.

I walked out the living room and decided to go to the kitchen to get something to drink. I almost jumped when I saw Steph and Michael half naked on the table.

“Whoa!” I said covering my eyes

“Shit.” Michael whispered

“Cass, have you ever heard of knocking?” I hear Steph sigh

“Sorry! It’s the kitchen. Who knocks when they enter the damn kitchen?” I say still with my eyes covered

“Ugh, you can take that off. We’re both decent now” Steph said

I slowly uncovered my eyes and saw Steph sitting on the table and Michael standing beside her.

“Well. Sorry for disturbing you guys. I’ll just get something to drink then I am outta here” I tell the two of them

I swiftly took whatever I can from the fridge and walked out the room.

Steph’s P.O.V

“She needs Will” I mumble as I see my best friend step out the kitchen

“Of course she does. Will has been drinking and isolating himself this past month. They both badly need each other” Michael said

“But I don’t want the same thing to happen again. Something has changed with Cass ever since that night. I can’t seem to point a finger on it but there’s something she isn’t telling me. “

“What do you mean?” he asked curiously

“I don’t know. It’s just that Cass changed after that night. It’s like she is always aware of her surroundings like something’s out to get her”

“Maybe the break up changed her a bit”

“No, it’s not that. There was something in her eyes when she walked in here that night. At first I thought she was just upset but that look in her eyes never left. I don’t know. Maybe I am just paranoid that she is hiding something from me” I trailed off

“Yeah, I think you are” he whispered to me bringing me closer to him again’

“What?” I laughed feeling his hands in my clothes again

“Second round?” he asked

“Michael, we almost got caught a while ago. Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?” I teased

“Hmm, nope. I don’t care” he said against my skin as he slowly kissed it.

“Oh” I moaned quietly after he bit my neck. He knows me soft spot and he is abusing it.

“Come on.” He said as I feel him smile against my skin knowing that he was convincing me
I slowly feel his hands go up my legs. I allow him to do whatever he wanted. He is good at convincing me. I can’t do anything, I honestly want it to. I mean, to be frank, Michael is a good kisser. We were getting it on again until his phone buzzed. The classic spoiler.

“Ugh” he grunted as he tried to get his phone from his pocket

“Hello?” he answered with a hint of annoyance

I smile at him at how adorable he is. I am glad that we are together now. I am slowly realizing how much I really liked him. He is not just my boyfriend but my friend as well. I can understand him and he understands me. Everything would have been perfect if only Will didn’t screw everything up by hurting my best friend. Everyone would have been happy. Now I feel guilty to be happy around Cass especially when I am with Michael because I know that deep inside of her, she is suffering a great deal. She’s just hiding it.

“Will!” Micahel exclaimed

Speaking of the devil. I roll my eyes as I hear his name. Michael knows how much I dislike Will for hurting Cass.

“Oh man, she’s fine… really. Stop moping around. Why don’t you go here if you wanna see her?” Michael responded at whatever Will said

“Yeah, I know. But you know, it is also your fault. Just give it time. I am sure she’ll forgive you”

“Okay. We’ll be going soon. We’ll pas by your place. Ok. Bye.’

Michael said then hung up,

“What is his problem?” I ask blankly standing up from the table

He sighed

“He is lonely and depressed. As usual”

“Good for him”

“Steph, he is still my friend and I don’t like seeing him like that”

“Yeah, he is your friend who hurt my best friend” I said opening the fridge for food

“I know what he did was wrong and I am so against that but… hasn’t he suffered enough? He has been moping this past month Steph” Michael said sadly

“I dunno. Cass is still hurt. I don’t know if she will ever recover. She loves Will so much that it hurt like hell when he did those things” was all I can answer
