Cassie's POV

I should've never continued the kiss with Drew. I admit it was probably the worst thing to happen with this situation. But I have to admit that kiss was amazing and I wouldn’t mind doing that again. But kissing him felt so wrong. Not to mention what came to mind during the kiss. It reminded me of that night with Cody.

 

Stupid Cody. No matter how many people I kiss, nothing will make or help me forget that night with Cody.

 

Despite the Cody drama, the kiss with Drew was something different.He took control, but was still a gentlemen. Too detailed? Sorry. I was currently laying in bed looking up at the ceiling and smiling like the complete idiot I am, but I couldn't help it.

 

"Cassie?" I heard someone call quietly whilst opening the bathroom door slowly.It was Chris. How could I not recognize his whispers?  We constantly sneaked around back home behind Lorraine's back.

 

"Cass?" He called again peeking his head in the room. He looked upset.

 

Knowing Chris it probably took him a long time to come in here and talk to me. He had his pride. He had his arrogance, but all that never stopped him to have his good intentions. Everything he did, he knew it was for a good reason. Like coming on this trip.

 

Ever since we've been kidnapped and seeing Chris getting hurt, I've felt so guilty because the reason he's in this mess  because of me. If I didn't want  go on this trip so bad, we'd probably be fine.

 

"What do you want Chris?" I finally decided to say something out of guilt.

 

He opened the door fully. "I'm sorry." He apologized entering the room.

 

"I can't believe you would lie to me. Out of all people, you lied to me." I said with disappointment.

 

From what I can remember, Chris has never lied to me. He would tell me small white lies and when he lied about Drew, I was disappointed with him.

 

He took a step closer. "I was just trying to protect you."

 

Growing up with Cody as my brother and after getting hurt so many times, Chris has learned to become super protective with me. I appreciated it most of the time because it comes in handy, but protecting me from every guy and everyone can get overwhelming at times.

 

I looked at him with confusion, "Protect me from what?" I asked. “I don’t need you to protect me.”

 

"From them." He pointed towards the door, "Cassie I don't want you to get involved with any of them."
