Fighting for The Eradicator

Life away from home.

Cassandra's POV
The time Ive spent at my parents house as been nice as it filled the void I had in my heart. I was sleeping in the guest bedroom as Zeus was laying next to me , I was on my phone and scrolling through instagram. I saw that Demi posted something on her story. I was curious to see what she is up to now that I'm not there. There was a picture of Barry and Luna in the living room as the sat on top of the couch, but I saw that she painted the room the color I picked out a long time ago. It looked like the house was clean and being taken care of which was a relief. I kept clicking through her pictures until I saw her with someone that looks like her . I'm guessing it's her sister. I've never met her sister in person like I did her parents. Demi looked happy and relaxed as she smiled in the picture. I felt a small pain in my heart as I missed her, how it was lonely being here. I shut my phone off as I rolled over and tried to sleep but the thought of her kept me awake.
I was awoken by my siblings running into my room as my father told them to leave me alone. I smiled as I  watched them climb in bed with me and lay next to Zeus who looked unamused at this situation right now, my dog loves to sleep. That's when my mom walked in as she called for the little ones. " Come on guys breakfast is ready, leave your sister and Zeus alone guys. Coffee is downstairs if you would like some sweetheart." My mom smiled at me as she walked out with my siblings following her. The past week my mom and I have been getting closer, as there wasn't awkwardness between us as much. I looked at Zeus who just stared at me . " You hungry big guy?" he just wagged his tail as I started to get out of the bed and make my way downstairs. My parents house was pretty elaborate as they had marble floors and a huge staircase , and basically everything you could think of. Even though my parents were extremely wealthy people, they never flaunted it or used it to gain egos. I walked into the kitchen to see my parents and siblings around the table as my mom left a plate of food for me. I grabbed a cup of coffee as I made my way to the table which made my dad happy, as he is the biggest family man. We sat together in silence as we all ate, conversation here and there. " Mom, are you busy today?" I looked over to her as she raised her brows , taking a sip of her coffee. " No, I'm free today, why?" I saw my dad smile as he saw the effort I was making with her. " Well I wanted to get some new clothes and Zeus needs more dog food, I was wondering if you could come with me as we don't get to have alone time together anymore." I saw something in her eyes as they looked at me, happiness. She smiled at me as she nodded excitedly. " Okay then , wanna go around 12? Dad would mind if I left Zeus here while we go?" I looked over to Zeus who my little sister was hanging off of. He laughed and placed his hand on my shoulder as he walked away. I took my plate and placed it in the sink as I walked back upstairs to get ready. I just wore a simple white shirt and a pair of jeans with my vans. I looked at my phone and saw Demi Texted me this morning with a picture of the dogs looking super cute. I miss them and I miss being home but I think that this is what we needed. I sent her a quick response but nothing too serious. I could see the effort she was making to change things but the question still remains. How long will it last? I put some light makeup on and brushed my teeth, throwing my hair into a ponytail. I walked back downstairs to see my dad doing the dishes in the kitchen as Zeus sat next to him. " What is your new best friend Dad?" He looked down at Zeus , petting his head as he called him such a good boy. 
"He sure is, it's nice having a dog in the house. your siblings love him, it feels more like a home when you and him visit." I knew my dad missed having me home and when I moved to be with Demi it killed him a little to be so far from me. " You're more than welcome to stay here, you know." He just looked at me as he stopped washing the dishes. I knew he wanted me to talk to him about everything that happened but I didn't want to yet because I didn't know where I stood. I just gave him a soft smile as I leaned against the counter as my mom came down the stairs. " Why don't I drive today?" my mom asked as she walked over to my dad who wrapped his arms around my mom. I agreed as I watched how in love my parents were with each other , it reminded me of how me and Demi were with each other.  How she would walk into the kitchen and hug me from behind as she placed kisses all over my face, or how she'd look at me like I was the only person in the room. I heard my mom calling me as I looked up at her . " you okay honey?" She gave me a worried expression as she looked at me. I just smiled as I shook my head , as Zeus left my dads side to crawl through my legs. I leaned down placing a kiss on his nose as I ruffled his fur, hearing him give me a soft grunt. "You ready?" I looked up as I walked towards the garage door following my mom
to her car.
We drove in silence for a while listening to music as my mom hummed to some of the songs. " How are you doing love?" She asked me as she lowered the music, still keeping her eyes on the road. I just looked out the window as i sunk more into my seat. "It hurts , I'm hurt. I mean being home definitely helps but I miss my home, I miss being home with her mom. It's like a part of me is missing and I can't do anything to replace it. I know what she did was wrong and stupid but that doesn't mean I still don't love her. I miss the Demi that would tell me she loves me randomly because she just wanted to make sure I knew, or how I'd come home from the gym or somewhere and she'd have a meal ready for me. I just miss the side of her that was genuine I guess. I just don't know what happened, I understand that she was going through something. But it was like someone made her believe I was the enemy to her." My mom gave me a small smile as she continued to drive. " Did i ever tell you how your father and I got together?" I just looked at her confused but i was always under the impression it was because he worked with her. "No, i just thought you two got together because you worked together." She let out a sigh, as she looked over at me quickly. " When I met your father , he was with the DX group at the time . So your uncle shawn, your dad and then Joanie. You're dad was with jonnie at the time as they kept their relationship mostly private. Well when you're dad and I met we got closer and closer. He eventually cheated on Joanie for me and then left her. I know what it feels like to have a piece of you missing because that's how I feel with your father. I've been in situations where your dad made me look bad and has made the company look bad. Our relationship wasn't like it is now, it took both of us to really understand what we both needed and wanted from each other. Cassandra, I don't understand your lifestyle choices but I know you loved that demi more than life itself. I can't excuse the fact that she has cheated on you or done other things, but i know you aren't yourself right now. So tell me what do you want in life?" She shocked me as my mom and I never had a heart to heart before , as we just screamed at each other. I sat in silence for a while as I thought about what I wanted. " I want to fight her for being so stupid. Mom, I still want her. I want the house , the dogs, everything I had with her. She became my life and I don't know how to live one without her. I know it sounds messed up and will absolutely look bad in the company but I want her back." She just smiled as she parked the car, turning slightly over to me and grabbed my hands. "My sweet girl, listen to me. Nothing will make the company look bad anymore as everyone knows what's going on half the time. If you still love her like you say you do honey then work things out with her. If you want to fight her then fight her, but make it fair. She's in a faction now so make it even more difficult for her to win." she gave me a sly look as she got out of the car.  The rest of the day was honestly the best day I've had with my mom , we were actually getting along and no fighting. I thought a lot about what she said as I took her advice . If Demi and I were to get back together we need to understand what we both want and need from each other. She told me that she wants to prove to me that she wants this, so I should at least give her the opportunity to make it right. I thought about what my mom said at the end though about the fight and how to make it fair. I think it would be entertaining to see the judgment day go against a faction of my choice. I'll talk about it with my father first and then I'll make some calls and then I'll schedule it for when i'm ready to go back.
