Later on that night I heard my doorbell ring. I went and opened the door and saw Tray standing there. 

“What are you doing here?” 

“What happened today?” 

“Nothing” 

“You’re lying” 

“I don’t want to talk about it” I said as I was attempting to close the door. 

“I am not going anywhere until you tell me what the hell happened today” 

I gestured upstairs with me head and he followed me up. I sat on my bed and told him to close the door. 

“So what happened?” 

“I saw someone today that I like but he was with a different girl. The girl that he was with is the girl that has been bullying me for a while but he doesn’t know. But when I saw him, all these feelings came crashing back. He doesn’t know how I feel and he never will. He even told me himself that he isn’t the one to commit to a relation. But it just hurts to see him with someone else. Thats all” 

“I thought you told me that you just got out of a relationship and that you weren’t ready to start a new one”

“I did say that, but that was because of Blake” 

“You mean Blake as in Blake Miller?” 

“Yea and how do you know him?” 

“My friend is throwing a party and I was wondering if you would like to go with me?" 

He totally ignored my question. 

“First answer my question”

“How about…. not” 

“What ever but don’t think that this conversation is over because its not.And ok I will go to the party, but there is a problem I have nothing to wear” 

“Yes you do. Its in my car. I might of stopped my Jess’s house and told her and then she gave me these” 

He pulled out a short tan strapless dress with matching accessories. 

I am going to kill her but I had no other choice. I had to wear the dress.

“Let me go get dressed. I will be out in minute. 

When I was done getting dressed I looked at myself in the mirror. I have to say the dress didn’t look that bad on me, but it was still a little too short for my liking but it will have to do. I just touched up my hair and my make up and I was done. I walked out and found Tray half naked. 

“Put some clothes on buddy” He was in the middle of pulling his pants up when he turned around and tripped. I couldn’t hold in my laughter anymore so I just let it all out. 

“Can you help me up please?” 

I walked over to him and put out my hand so he can grab it and pull himself up. But he didn’t do that. Insead he pulled me down on top of him and of course I yelled. 

“What do you think you are..” Once again I didn’t get to finish what I was saying because he kissed me.Why does that always happen to me? 

He just kept kissing me. I wasn’t sure if I should kiss him back. I wasn’t sure about a lot of things lately and I don’t know why, but at this point I really don’t give a crap so I kissed him back. What I just can’t lay here and not kiss him back, its rude. 

When he was kissing me I felt nothing. 

No sparks. 

No chemistry. 

Nothing. 

Nada. 

I pulled away and got up. 

“That should have not happened Tray” 

“Why?” 

“Just don’t again please. I am going through a lot of crap right now” 

“I wont. I promise”

“Thanks. How about you get dressed and go to the party that you begged me to go to” 

“I did not beg you” 

“Sure. What ever you say Tray whatever you say. I will see you downstairs” 

I left and closed the door behind me. 

-*- 

When we arrived at the party. Everyone was there. Even the geeks and nerds. Thats strange because they never get invited to these kinds of parties. Something bad is probably going to happen and hopefully I will be able to help them. I don’t like to see other people being bullied. 

Tray takes my hand and we walk to the door. Once we entered everyone stopped and looked at us. It didn’t seem to bother him but it did bother me. So I tried to pull my hand away but his grip just got stronger. I tried again but this time he pulled me to closer to his side. 

“Let me go Tray” 

“Just stay still for a second” 

“Why?” 

“Because I said so” 

There was no way that I would be able to beat him and his strength so I just stayed where I was. 

Then I saw Blake. I guess Tray saw me staring at Blake, because he kissed me again. I tried to pull away but he just kissed me harder. I finally give him a shove and he stumbled backwards. I just stared at him and walked away. But before I left I said “Stay the hell away from me Tray. I am not your prize possession that you can just show off”.

“Cassie I’m sorry”. 

“I don’t want to hear it right now”

I walked into the kitchen to get a drink. I usually go for a soda but tonight I felt like something stronger. So I went for a beer.

I at least drank two cups when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Blake standing there. I turned back around. I really didn’t want to see or deal with him right now. 

“Cassie?” 

I walked away and grabbed some random guys hand and brought him to the dance floor. He put his hands on my waist and I began swaying to the music. I didn’t care at this point. I just wanted to have fun for once and forget about everything that has happened. 

So I started dancing harder. Like there is no tomorrow. I start grinding on him and he did the same. But when I looked up I saw Blake. I shrugged my shoulders and started dancing with him.

Like I said I didn’t care. But then a slow song came on. He turned me around and wrapped my arms around his neck. I avoided his eyes. 

“What do you think you are doing with Tray”

“Nothing we’re just friends” 

“I don’t want you to be near him again” 

“You can’t tell me what to do Blake” 

“When it comes to him I do” 

“How the hell do you guys even know each other?” 

“We go way back" 

“Thats it. Thats all you are going to tell me?"

“For now, yes” 

“Forget it, I need another beer. I can’t be near you right now” 

“Why?” 

“I-I saw you with her Blake. Why her” 

“I don’t know what you are talking about?’ 

“Stephanie, I saw you sticking your tongue down her throat Blake” 

“Why do you even care?"

“That’s exactly what I have been thinking about myself. Why do I care about you Blake. I should’ve known that this was going to happen. But I thought that you would change but I was wrong again. I should have just trust my instincts next time. Good bye Blake”

I couldn’t help the tears that were fighting to fall. I sat on the sidewalk and cried. I always seem to lose the people that I grow close to and the ones that I love. I really don’t want to lose Blake but its the right thing to do. Even if it kills me. I have to stay away from him.
