Fight Til’ The End - Tried & True Series - COMING 5/2
“You were crying, weren’t you?” Travis’ voice was soft now.
She sniffed quickly, feeling tears for no real reason coat her eyes. “Why do you say that?”
“Your eyes are blood shot and puffy. That’s how you get whenever you cry.” He shifted his body to rest against the door so he could see her.
“Maybe I’m upset because I thought you were actually out of my life but I was sadly disappointed.” Her words were pure sarcasm, but she didn’t want to tell him the real reason.
“And if that was true I’m sure you would drive this car straight to the Sheriff’s station.” Travis watched her rub her eyes harshly, feeling sorrow inside of him for her. “You can tell me what happen. I’m a good listener if you remember.”
“Why do you do this?” Cassidy finally looked over at him. “Why do you go from one second yelling at me to being sympathetic? From trying to be my friend to trying to kill me? Is this all a game?” Stiles’ words spilling from her lips.
“I wish I could give you a solid answer but I don’t have one. Like I told you yesterday, you have this affect over me, and…and I just want things to somehow work out in the end.”
Cassidy felt her body breaking down again, absolutely tired of fighting with him and everyone in her life. “I had a plan you know, after I found out you were back.” Her eyes left his and stared out the windshield. “I did my research. I found out every little bit of information I could about you. And I was even back in your house before you showed me.” His face grew in surprise at her revelation, but let her continue to talk. “I was finding everything I could to send you back to jail and get you out of my life. I even sent my family away because I was scared you were going to hurt them. I had a plan.”
Travis played with the fabric of her seats. “So why didn’t you tell anyone?”
“I wish I could give you an answer as well, but I don’t know.” She turned back to him, a tear now fell down her cheek. “I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. And I’m fucking everything up again.”
