You Still Have All My Heart

Cassandra woke up and looked around the room where she found herself in. She realized she was in Anna’s living room. She looked around the room for a couple of minutes remembering all of the fun they had the night before. They spent hours watching movies and eating junk food and they even had a little gossip time which was filled with her and Jordan’s recent break ups. Both Ana and Jordan were extremely surprised that Cass and Zack actually broke up. Everyone thought that they would be the one couple that would definitely make it to the alter and have their happily ever after.

Both Ana and Jordan thought that this would be just another one of their lovers quarrels, but Cassandra knew otherwise. She knew that this was serious. She had never seen Zack with such a hurt or angry expression on his face before. She hope that they would get back together since she loved him so much, but she felt as if that was impossible right now. She knew better than to try and talk to him right now, since he probably hated her.

Cassandra was brought out of her thoughts about Zack when she felt something touch her leg. She looked to see what it was and laughed when she saw Ana kissing her foot, which was peeking out from underneath her princess blanket, in her sleep. She watched her friend cuddle her foot and kiss it a couple times here and there. She tried really hard not to laugh at her friend but she couldn’t help it when a few giggles slipped out. Not only did she find the sight extremely funny but she was also very ticklish there. After watching her friend for a couple of minutes, Cassandra decided to get her phone out and take a picture. Might come in handy sometime Cassandra thought to herself with a smirk.

Cass then started to look through all of the other photos on her phone. She smiled at all of the goofy ones she took with her friends. Then, all of a sudden she came across a photo that made her heart stop. It was a photo that Jordan took right before the boys left for their tour. Cass had just jumped onto Zack’s back which caused him to stumble forward in surprise. Once he gained his balance again the two of them couldn’t stop laughing and smiling at each other. They looked just like a couple of kids in love without a care in the world. It surprised Cassandra that this was only taken a couple months ago. Back then it wouldn’t have even crossed her mind that she would cheat on her boyfriend. If she was told that then she would immediately deny anything of the sort and tell the person to fuck off since she loved Zack more than she ever thought was possible.

She must have been staring at the picture for quite some time since the next thing she knew her friends were up and already making breakfast.

“Cass, get off your phone and get your ass over here to eat!” Ana yelled to her friend from the kitchen.

The girls devoured the breakfast that was prepared by their own personal chef. When they were done they helped Ana clean up the dishes and then they got ready to start their day. Jordan had a couple of early tattoos that day so she left first. Ana had to leave soon to go to her restaurant and Cassandra had a photoshoot in a couple of hours so she also decided to go home and get her stuff ready.

When she arrived at the studio she saw that the models were already there and some were getting their hair and makeup done while other were putting on the designer’s clothes.

“Sorry I’m late,” Cassandra told everyone.

“Don’t worry Cass. You’re not late, everybody was just early today,” Petra, the makeup artist told her.

“Oh, okay. Well I’m going to set up so just send the model out when you’re done,” she told her friend.

Everyone had arrived so now they would drive to the school where they would be taking the photos for the shoot. Cassandra walked over to where they would be doing the photoshoot and started to set up the equipment. Today was a fashion shoot for Tommy Hilfiger, so Cass knew that everything had to be perfect. The models all arrived to the set shortly after Cassandra finished setting up. The models were all fun and they all worked with each other extremely well. They tried new things with each other and in the end got some terrific photos. Once it was all over everyone headed back to the studio and the models got to go home. Cassandra printed out all of the photos and then put them in a big manila folder and went to the post office to send them to New York City, which is where is main building is.
After that was accomplished she went to a local café and ordered a French vanilla coffee for Jordan and a white chocolate Frappuccino for herself. She brought some of the milk and sugar with her because she knew that Jordan loved them in her coffee. She also bought two sandwiches for them to eat for lunch. She knew that Jordan was swamped today in tattoos, which is why she wanted to bring her friend lunch.

When she arrived to Inkstop she found Jordan in the middle of a tattoo so she sat down in one of the waiting chairs they had in the shop. When Jordan finished the tattoo she handed her friend a sandwich along with her coffee. While they ate they talked about a couple things here and there. Once they finished their lunch Jordan got ready for her next tattoo and Cassandra had to leave to work at another photoshoot.

Her next photoshoot was a concert so she had to drive to the venue. She got out her backstage pass and her photographer’s pass and put them around her neck so that she could get into some the areas restricted to the people at the concert. She had never heard of the band, Pierce the Veil, but she figured that that shouldn’t stop her from taking awesome pictures of them. She took a couple of pre-concert pictures but the real picture taking started when they finished their first song. Everyone in the crowd was having a great time so she took quite a few pictures of the crowd. There was even a small mosh pit forming so she took a couple pictures of that as well. Then, she started focusing on the band members. She took some side pictures of them and then the lead singer jumped into the crowd which she thought was a great photo opportunity. After the show was over she had over three hundred pictures. There were more to come too. She took pictures of them with their fans at their merch booth and pictures of them signing things. Now all she had to do was find their manager and give him the memory card in her camera. She started to wander around the venue hoping to find someone who might be able to help her. Finally she found one of the band members smoking out back.

“Hey, do you know where I could find your manager?” Cassandra asked the man.

“Uhh, who are you?” the man asked after taking a drag from his cancer stick.

“I’m Cassandra Knowles, the photographer that he hired to take a couple pictures for your website,” Cassandra told him with a smile.

“Oh, I see. Do you want me to help you find him?” the man asked, throwing his cigarette on the ground and then stepping on it.

“Sure,” Cass said and then they started to walk towards the merch booth.

“I’m Mike Fuentes by the way,” the man told her.

“Oh, you play drums right?” Cassandra asked Mike. She remembers him rocking out behind his drum set. She took quite a few pictures of him because she liked how he seemed like he was having a blast.

“Yeah, my brother’s the lead singer,” he told her.

“Really. What’s his name? I’m sorry but I’m not familiar with your band,” Cassandra told him.

“Oh, it’s fine. My brother, Vic, is the lead singer and he plays guitar. I play drums. Tony Perry plays the lead guitar and Jaime Precaido plays the bass,” he explained to her.

“Oh. Hey, do you think I’d be able to take a picture of you and all of your band members together?” Cassandra asked him.

“Of course!” Mike told her with a grin. “C’mon,” he put his hand out for her to grab it and then he started running towards their merch booth.

Cassandra tried her best to keep up with him but he had really long legs so when they finally arrived Cassandra was out of breath.

“Hey guys. This is Cassandra, the photographer for our website, and she wanted to take a picture of all of us,” Mike told his band mates who were all sitting behind their table.

“Where do you want us to go?” one of them asked. Cass remembered that he was the singer so that means that he was Vic.

“Well, I was thinking one behind the table and some of you standing up and then a couple of you guys just having fun and playing around,” Cassandra told the boys.

“Sounds great,” Vic said.

She took the pictures of the boys behind the table and then took a picture of them standing up and horsing around. It was starting to get late so Cassandra said goodbye to the boys.

“Hey, did you need to find our manager?” Mike asked her when she was about to leave.

“It’s fine. I’ll edit the photos a bit and then contact you,” Cassandra told them.

“Give me your phone then,” he told her holding his hand out. Cassandra gave him her phone and he inputted his number into it. “So you can reach us when the pictures are done,” he told her. He passed the phone to his brother.

“And my number just in case he’s busy doing things with his project, Mikey Whiskey Hands,” Vic told her as he put in his number as well. He passed the phone to then next person who just happened to be Jaime.

“Here are my digits just in case those two shitheads aren’t available,” he told her with a smirk. He gave then gave the phone to Tony.

“And my number just in case you wanna get together sometime and have a good time,” he told her with a wink. Cassandra just laughed and told the boys bye and that she’d get in touch with them soon.
