Cold, Empty Mattresses And Falling Stars

*Mike's POV*

"So Frenchi?" She asked, I felt my heart drop as I thought about when I was with Frenchi, that was the lowest I had ever been, I quickly composed myself and cleared my throat, "I don't want to talk about it" I said, she looked at me and scoffed a little, "Of course you don't" she said rolling her eyes, "Look it's not like that, I just don't want to talk about it" I said walking out of the kitchen, "I don't even care, it was just a stupid, meaningless date anyway" she said following after me and running upstairs, "Cassidy, what are you talking about, this has nothing to to with the date?" I said defending myself, "I'm gonna go for a shower and then you can take me home" she said looking at me with a glum and angry look on her face and running in my bedroom, into the en suite and locking the door, I sighed and rubbing my face and hair, I quickly went for a shave in the downstairs bathroom before running up and getting clean clothes on, as I was in the middle of getting dressed Cassidy walked out with a towel wrapped around her, she gave me a weird glance before looking over at the pile of clothes on my bed, "I put them out for you because you didn't have a change of clothes" I said pulling my shoes and t-shirt on, "Thanks" she said quietly before taking them and getting changed in the bathroom, the door was open a crack so I took the opportunity to try and talk to her, "Look Cassidy, I'm sorry okay, it's just not something I talk to people about" I said taking a seat on the bed, I heard her sigh before she replied, "I'm not upset because you didn't tell me, I'm upset because you don't trust me" she explained sounding hurt, "I do trust you! It's you that doesn't trust me and don't say you do because if you did you would truthfully tell me what happened to your cheek" I retorted, I saw the door open before she appeared in front of me, she looked even hotter in my clothes, "I didn't know you wore glasses?" I said, well I kinda did but I didn't actually expect her to wear them in front of me, in the dream she hated wearing them in front of people and only wore them when necessary, "I didn't tell you because I was scared you won't believe me" she murmured, I patted a spot on the bed beside me and she quickly walked over sitting beside me, she turned and faced me as I did to her, "You can trust me and I will believe you, 100%" I said, grabbing her hands and holding them, she nodded and took a deep breath.

"Okay so my mum died when I was 8, my dad remarried, Karen, then they had Tamara, Karen has always hated me but Tamara looks up to me and is the best little sister to be honest. Karen acts nice and sweet to me in front of my dad but behind his back she abuses me, I don't want to say anything because he is really happy with her. So the other morning she told me to make her breakfast and I told her no as she had literally just shouted me out of my bed to come down to the living room, where she was sitting, and told me to go to the kitchen to make her breakfast, then she pulled my hair, making me fall, so I quickly made her eggs and bacon but because I was in a rush I didn't make her pancakes and when I gave her the plate she slapped me across my face with the TV remote because there were no pancakes" she explained with tears in her eyes, suddenly one fell, I wiped it away before she could, "Aww Cass, I'm so sorry" I said, looking deep into her eyes and now I realize just how fragile and broken she actually is, suddenly she broke down, I tried to comfort her in my arms but she just pushed me away and stood up turning her back to me, "Cassidy, you don't have to block me out, I'm here for you" I said slowly getting up and moving towards her, I made a risky move of wrapping my arms around her and thankfully she didn't push me away, she done the exact opposite by leaning into me, "I'm sorry" she laughed weakly before wiping her eyes, "It's fine you have nothing to be sorry about" I said softly into her ear before I kissed behind it, I saw her shiver a little, "Would you like me to take you home yet?" I asked but she shook her head, "No, I don't want to go back just yet" she said turning around and looking at me with her big, sad, blue eyes, "It's gonna cost you" I smirked, she looked at me confused, "You need to go shopping for Christmas decorations for the house" I said, she nodded with a wide toothy smile, "I'd love to but can I go home and get changed first?" She asked, I smiled and nodded before I picked her up and took her down to the car, "If you want me to come in with you I am more than happy to" I said, she thought for a second and nodded, "Thank you" she smiled before we hopped out, "Mom, I'm home" she shouted, Karen appeared at the door with a look of disgust before changing it to delighted surprise when she saw me, "Oh honey welcome home" she said running over and hugging her, "Where were you last night, I was so worried" she said letting her go and smiling at me, "Oh I stayed at Mike's" Cassidy explained before disappearing upstairs, I saw Karen watching me closely, which was unnerving.
