 Maybe it was her own fault for going through his desk. The office was the one room in the house Cass had agreed was only her husbands, but there was always that part of her that wondered what was going on in there. Her husband was being distant and now she knew why. It was almost funny that she would have rather he was sleeping with someone else instead of this. At least if that was the case they could argue and she’d know the reason all of this was happening. When she heard the front door open she looked up from her seat on the couch and waited until he’d entered the room before tossing the envelope onto the coffee table. The papers spilled out and she motioned to them as she sat back. “Guess I should have seen those coming. But keeping divorce papers in our house while you sleep in my bed is a bit cold don’t you think?”

WHAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CASS LIKE

my relationship spans over a decade, she was all i’ve known of real pure unadulterated love. it still fucking blows my mind that i haggled my middle school crush into agreeing to marry me. i still remember the first time i saw her, which is beyond cheesy but it’s true. it was a lot like getting punched in the fucking face, windless, legs shaking, ears ringing, but god, in the best fucking way. it was like every butterfly i’ve every felt swarming back to haunt me, to warn me. i was bad at expressing myself then, i mean, i still am so i didn’t think i stood a chance. i didn’t even bother, cass was always too good for me. it was just years of bad jokes and shooting each other smiles in class, cass being to polite to point out of blatantly i’d stare during every fucking soft line of shakespeare. i wasn’t aware of how out of focus the rest of the world was compared to her. i wasn’t ready to acknowledge that, i guess. i was a kid, a moron. but can you blame me? it’s hard to keep let your eyes linger on anything when there’s a living breathing angel in your vicinity. 

loving cass has been as easy as breathing, really. anyone who’s met her knows this. there’s something about her that just… radiates sunshine, and you can feel her warmth on even the cloudiest days, when the air’s gelid and icy. cass has a way of melting the misery right from the darkest part of your hearts in the smallest gestures, collecting the broken bits of each of us and piecing us back together. sometimes i don’t know how she’s real, and wasn’t peeled right out of a fucking disney movie. a real life princess, my real life princess.

cass is… my best friend. it’s like having a best friend who you can make out with. i mean, i did that once with blue too, but unfortunately the world wasn’t ready for our raw power and we moved on but that’s besides the point… there’s a comfort in getting to sleep next to your best friend, to tie your life to theirs. there’s a comfort get to share every aspect of a relationship with someone who is your friend. i don’t know how i got so lucky, but i did by some fucking grace of the gods. i would do anything for her.

12. “I killed him.” 

@sweetacidrain

Cass sat on the stairs and tried not to look at the body in the living room but she wasn’t sure what she was supposed to do. Was she supposed to call the police? Would that come back on Jace? She didn’t know so all she could do was sit on the stairs and wait for him to come through the door. Of course she’d called him when the banging on the door started and she’d put the kids up in Delilah’s room since she had the little cubby in her closet but Cass hadn’t expected this. She ran a shaky hand through her hair at the sound of a car pulling up followed by someone running up the stairs and pushing the front door open. As soon as their eyes met Cass looked away towards the living room. “I killed him.” There was no emotion in her voice as she motioned to the gun sitting on the step next to her. She’d perfectly positioned herself half way up the stairs so that no one would get to her children if someone else came. “Del and Levi are in her room. I got them up there before he came in... the back door is broken.”  There was a pause as she took a breath. “I didn’t call anyone. I didn’t.... I didn’t know what I was supposed to do.”

Running away had been rash and Cassandra knew that she would be locked in the palace if the guards caught her but she needed something new. No she needed to get the hell away from her future husband but part of her wanted to blame everything on her need for adventure. She’d run aimlessly through the streets taking random allies and backtracking to make it harder to track her before she reached the harbor. There were so many people milling around that it was easy to go unnoticed but once the guards reached the fish market people would pay more attention to the well dressed girl looking frantically for a place to hide. When she spotted the ship being loaded with supplies she made her move. It was clearly going somewhere far and she could convince whoever the captain was to help her couldn’t she?

Without thinking twice the blonde moved forward and slipped past the men and into the small space between some of the barrels being placed on the deck. There wasn’t much room for her but she hoped they would keep her hidden well enough. Wrapping her arms around her legs she held her knees tight to her chest and waited.

Honestly it was hard having two kids. Yes Del was old enough to be helpful but there were still times when Cass couldn’t seem to calm either of the kids down, like they were already working as a team. Part of her was happy that they worked so well together, but the rest of her was just stressed. So when the two of them finally went to bed and she curled up on the couch with Jace the tension seemed to leave her. This was exactly what they needed. Some peace and quiet. “I miss moments like this more than anything.” The blonde sighed as she pulled his arms tighter around her.

Honestly Cass didn’t want to come to the reunion at all. Why did she care what people had been up to since graduating high school? It just wasn’t something she cared too much about that was for damn sure. But mostly, she didn’t want to see Corbin. Things hadn’t gone well when their relationship ended and now here she was twenty-eight and freshly divorced with a toddler at home with her dad because he’d insisted she go to her reunion. Running her fingers through her hair she looked around the room before taking another drink from her wine glass. Everyone was milling around having fun and she’d had a few conversations but really it was just counting down until a reasonable time to leave. If it was a babysitter at her house she would have left already but she knew her father would give her shit if she was home before nine.

Cass smiled as she wrapped the Christmas lights around the curtain rod over the crib. The baby was due right before Christmas so she was doing everything she could to have the nursery ready. Jace had helped with most of that and he and Marcus had put together the new crib but she didn’t think the room was ready yet. It needed something more because this was the baby’s first Christmas. But she knew climbing up on the step ladder when she was nine months pregnant would be something her husband wouldn’t approve of which was why Delilah was her look out. As long as she yelled when he got home she’d be off the ladder before anyone had the chance to get to the room. “Perfect.” The blonde sighed as she secured the lights in place before hearing someone coming down the hall. “Del come look at what mommy did!”

Getting into bed with someone when you knew they weren’t a good person was usually a mistake. That was just common knowledge. Things never went the way they were supposed to when you were with someone like that. But in the end she had a beautiful little girl and nothing was going to take her away. The house didn’t hurt either but sometimes Cass liked to pretend that it wasn’t her ex that had provided it when she ended things and left town. Leaving had been smart and as much as she missed being wrapped up in his arms her child's safety was the most important thing in he world. But now Lila was four and Cass couldn’t help but wonder if maybe it was time to start meeting people. It wasn’t like she was going to go back home and she did deserve to be happy.

But that was a thought for another time. A time where she wasn’t fighting her child to put on actual shoes to go for a walk. 

“Lila for the last time you can’t wear princess slippers on the walk, they’re too big and you can’t actually walk in them.” The defeated tone was obvious as the little girl glared from the other end of the hallway. “We can keep playing dress up when we get home.” A knock on the door pulled her attention and she sighed before pointing at the living room. “Change. Now.” Was all she said to her daughter before turning and opening the front door and having all feeling leave hr as she looked at the man on her doorstep. “You aren’t supposed to be here. You promised not to come to my house.”
