CASSIE FORTZ

22

NOT EDITED

Just as Levi pays and I'm about to turn so we can leave I bump into someone making my ice cream and my phone land on the floor and I bend to pick my phone

"Jeez I'm sorry" a familiar voice says as the person helps me up to my feet and my eyes go wide

"Jamie?" I say shocked and surprised

Well you might be wondering who Jamie is but she's my sister, one of the twins

"Cass?" she says mirroring my expression

"princess what's going on? Are you okay? You know her?" Levi comes beside me concerned

"Oh yes Levi, this is my sister, Jamie" I say to him

"Jamie what are you doing here? Where's Jordan, where's mum? And dad?" I walk up to her hugging her

"Cass mum's fine, Jordan's fine. Let's just get outta here and I'll explain" she says and I turn to Levi and he nods

Levi drives us to a restaurant near by so Jamie can explain over a drink. She looked tired and upset.

"Well?" I say and she sighs

"Okay uhm Cass after you left things got worse, dad started hitting mum on a daily basis, Jordan and I would try to fight him off but he'd end up hurting us too. One day he hit mum so bad she passed out, she passed out Cass, we thought she was dead, it wasn't until two day later that she woke up, we didn't have enough money to discharge her so Jordan and I started working two jobs each so we could pay. When she was discharged mum decided that we couldn't keep staying with dad anymore so we ran away too. Mum was so upset, we were too, we tried to contact you but we couldn't-" her voice breaks tears in our eyes

" I'm so sorry" I interrupt taking her hands in mine

"We moved here, one of mum's Co workers helped us, he gave us some money so we could at least get settled here. Months after we moved mum fell ill, the doctor said she had a weak heart. Jordan and I couldn't afford to be in school so we had to start working. I was on a babysitting job when I ran into you" she finishes and I take her in my arms crying.

"Oh baby I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to leave. I was going to come back. I just needed to make some more money. I'm so sorry, I'm sorry" I kept apologizing trying to stop her from crying. Levi looked  so upset seeing us like this. When we were calm. He ordered some food for us, mum and Jordan.

He asked Jamie about the whereabouts of Jordan and mum, he promised to take care of all of us.

So right now, we were heading to the place Jordan worked to pick her up. Levi didn't want them working anymore, and so did I.

When we arrived at the bakery where Jordan worked. She didn't notice us coming but we saw her, her boss kept shouting at her, calling her names and that just made my blood boil

"How dare you do that, how dare you shout at her like that" I walk up to the man.

"Jordan come here, we're leaving now"

I take her in my arms while Levi talks to the man

"I'm so sorry sir, I didn't mean to, ma'am please forgive me. Please don't close down my bakery, please"

I completely ignored the man, walking out with my sisters. Looking at them now, I feel so sad, they look so tired.

"Jamie who's this?" I hear Jordan ask

Although Jamie and Jordan are twins they aren't identical.

"It's Cass, Jordan" Jamie says and I watch as Jordan's eyes goes wide and she pulls me for a hug

"Cass! I've missed you so much" he says with a sob

"Me too baby, I'm so sorry for leaving you guys, I should've stayed. I'm sorry" I hug her tight and Jamie joins us too.

"I'll make it up to you guys I promise. Now let's go see mum" while we made our way to the car the twins walked hand in hand admiring Levi's car, and taking about how happy they are that I'm around now.

While I and Levi walk behind them.

"Babe don't be sad, it's not your fault, you left because you wanted to give them the best. Like I said before I'm here now and I'm not leaving. Your problem is my problem, we're in this together okay?" he asks kissing my forehead and pulling me to him

"Okay. Thank you so much for everything babe" I say truly grateful for the fact that I have Levi by my side.

We drive to the hospital were mum is and my heart breaks into a million pieces, mum is sound asleep and the doctor says we must not wake her. Levi paid for a private room for mum and he paid for her medication also.

He had to leave because of some problem at the office he promised to be back to take the girls and I home when he was done

Moments after I saw Levi out mum woke up. And it was very emotional, we all cried, and I kept apologizing to them, mum felt bad that she didn't listen to me when I said we should leave dad, she was so upset.

We talked about everything and anything. Catching up on old times. Mum mentioned the twins being the best graduating students in their class and that they were also given a scholarship into any school of their choice and I couldn't be happier for them.

I told them about Levi, Sam, Louis, the mall and everything. Jamie and Jordan made sure to tell mum about Levi's looks and his car and how he was so nice to them. Mum said she'd like to see him so, I promised to introduce Levi the next day.

Mum slept off again and the doctor advised we go home to rest, Levi came to pick us insisting on taking us to his house but I refused because I didn't want to stress him any more.

When we arrived at my place we helped the girls get settled and then I walked him to his car

"Make sure you take good care of yourself okay? And the girls too. I'll check up on you guys in the morning before I leave to work and also you don't have to go to work. I told Layla to fill in for you so don't bother your pretty head." he pulls me to him

" I love you princess" he says with a kiss

"I love you more, my love. Oh and my mum wants to see you" I say looking away ignoring the fact that my face was red.

"Ohhh that's a good thing, I'll wow her with my charms and win her over" he says and I laugh

"So cocky" i roll my eyes and smirk placing my arms around his neck pulling him to me and immediately he holds my waist.

"Thank you" I say

"babe there's no need to thank me." he kisses my forehead.

"it's fine. It's nothing. I never want to see you or your family upset and you know it. Now go in, it's cold outside" he rubs my arms and I smile

"I love you"

"I love you more princess, dream about me"

"nahh I don't think I'll dream about you. I don't want to have a nightmare" I say with a wink, blowing him a kiss and he laughs

"goodnight my love" he calls after me and I smile

In the end he managed to make my dreams about him and It wasn't a nightmare. Something rather sexy.
