Mr. Pick-Me-Upper (REWRITE)

(38) You Don't Know Unless You Do It

Owen || Cassidy

Owen, are you serious?

Are you seriously suggesting that we meet up?

Is that how you really want to spend your day off? Talking and seeing lame me?

Cassidy, you are not lame.

Oh, are you sure about that?

Remember what happened in high school?

Of course, I am sure about that. And yes, I do remember what happened in high school.

Question about that - are we ever going to go in dept and discuss that?

I really want to help you and talk more about it.

So there we go. I am lame.

I don't know about that. I don't want to talk about it.

I am here for you, Cassidy, no matter what.

Well, what if I don't want you to be here? Or talk about this stuff?

Cassidy, why are you starting to get mad?

What do you mean?

I don't understand this change of emotions. Or why high school was brought up.

I'm sorry. I can never forget about it haunts me and everything reminds me of it. That is why I go defense over you saying that I am not lame.

I am so confused, do you want to be lame or not? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

I honestly don't know. I am messed up. After you suggested that we meet up, all the negative pieces of me came back and wouldn't leave my mind. This is how I see myself.

Cassidy, what can I do to make you stop thinking that way?

Honestly, Owen, I don't think that is possible.

At least not over text messaging.

So what does that mean?

I don't know, Owen. What does that mean?

Do you want to meet up then?

I don't know. It has been so long since we have seen each other.

Go into detail, please.

I don't know how we will interact with each other.

Well, Cassidy, I got news for you.

What is that?

You will never know something unless it happens.

Look at you, mister. Full of big and encouraging words.

That's what I am here for.

Please never leave.

Don't worry, I don't plan on leaving.

I will be here for as long as you let me.
