51: The tension

Beckie's POVI had spotted Cassie from afar; I even called out to her, but she couldn't hear me because of her headphones. I also saw when a car drove towards her and hit her. Likewise, I was horrified and shocked to see my friend lying motionless on the ground. The car had long gone, the driver fleeing out of fear of getting into trouble."Cassie! Oh my God!" I ran over and kneeled down, seeing that she was bleeding from her head and already unconscious. "Oh my God, my friend." I was crying and trembling with horror. Why was this happening to her? "Someone, please call an ambulance…" There were pedestrians who approached, also stunned to see the accident. I stayed with her the whole time until an ambulance arrived and rushed her to the hospital. I was with her all the way in the ambulance. My friend was unconscious and didn't seem to be breathing. I was screaming for the paramedics to save her. I didn't want my friend to die; I wouldn't let that happen."You have to stay outside;

52: The revelation

Joshua’s POV"What?!" My voice was a mix of shock and concern. Beckie’s words echoed in my ears, and my heart raced. Cassie had been in an accident and was in the hospital’s intensive care unit. All the nervousness I’d felt earlier paled in comparison to this devastating news.Looking back now, it was as if I had sensed something was wrong that afternoon. I’d been restless since Cassie refused my offer to give her a safe ride home, and now this had happened, leaving me breathless, not knowing what to think or do. All I wanted was to be with Cassie.“How did this happen? What happened to her?” I asked, trying to control the anxiety in my voice.“A car hit her while she was on her way to my apartment. The driver fled, but I was there when it happened. She’s unconscious, and the doctors are taking care of her now. You need to come here, Josh. She needs you.” Beckie seemed to be crying as she spoke, and I could feel the agony in her voice.“You don’t have to ask me, I’m going to the hospi

53: The dispute

Joshua POV I couldn't describe what I was feeling at that moment. I had heard Mark clearly when he mentioned that the love of his life was admitted to that place, referring to Cassie. And on top of that, Rebecca was looking back and forth between me and my son with wide eyes, clearly surprised. At that moment, I couldn't grasp exactly what was happening. So many thoughts were swirling in my head simultaneously. It wasn't enough that I was already extremely worried about Cassie being hospitalized; now this had to come up as well. What were the chances that my damn son had already known my girlfriend all this time?"Mark? What are you doing here?" Spencer was the first to ask while I was still connecting the dots. Mark shrugged, looking at Spencer. "I could ask you the same question, Uncle," he replied to Spencer. "Do you have someone admitted here? I came to see my girlfriend, who is her friend." He pointed at Rebecca as he said that."What?" I asked, frozen. Cassie was his girlfri

54: Don't make vain promises

Joshua's POVWhile Cassie was in intensive care, I decided to look for information about her state of health. I went to the counter and asked to speak to the doctor in charge of the case.After explaining who I was and my relationship with Cassie, the doctor informed me that she was in a serious but stable condition. They were closely monitoring her condition and doing everything they could to help her recover. However, they were still unsure about what exactly had happened and were conducting a series of tests to get more information.The news made me worried and distressed. I wanted to be by Cassie’s side, holding her hand and offering as much support as possible. I decided to go back to the waiting room and join Spencer and Rebecca, who were talking quietly.As I approached, Rebecca looked up and noticed that she had red eyes, indicating that she had probably cried. I sat next to them and asked how Cassie was doing.Rebecca sighed and replied, "The situation is still worrying, Josh

55: I won't let you that easy

Cassie's POVWhen I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the whiteness of the ceiling, and I soon realized that I was in the hospital. I blinked my eyes slightly, feeling the headache, and reached my hand to my forehead, noticing that it was bandaged. At that moment, I remembered the accident and the trauma I had suffered. It was like a miracle to wake up alive because I truly thought I was going to die."Hello...?" I tried to get someone's attention, but my voice came out hoarse, and all I could hear were the beeping sounds of the hospital machines. A woman wearing a white lab coat came into my view, smiling gently at me."You're finally awake," she rejoiced, and proceeded to examine me. As she was a doctor, probably one of the doctors who took care of me."How long have I been asleep?" My voice was raspy, as my throat was dry from disuse and dehydration from not having any fluids for a long time, but I still wanted to ask that. Had I been unconscious for a long time? I had seen

56: The truth thrown at me in a cruel way

Cassie's POV"Is there something you need to tell me? You seem so uneasy. You're constantly biting your lips and looking toward the door. I know you want to say something," I probed my friend.Beckie had helped me clean up and assisted me with eating. She had been by my side all this time, taking care of me. My boyfriend hadn’t returned yet; perhaps he was dealing with important matters."It’s just that... You’re not asking me anything. You can’t just be indifferent to this situation," she said fearfully."What situation? What are you talking about?" I was getting worried seeing her like this."About Mark and Joshua..." she said.I raised my eyebrows curiously. Had they finally met? It was quite possible that Mark had come here concerned about my health and, in the meantime, had coincidentally bumped into Josh. It would be funny see my ex and my current boyfriend trying to deal with each other."What happened? Did they finally meet?" I asked, curious. My friend made an exasperated ex

57: I need to protect her

Joshua's POVWhile I was at Cassandra’s apartment gathering some belongings she had asked me to get and bring to her at the hospital, I decided to take a quick shower and change clothes. As soon as Cassie woke up, she showed slight discomfort at seeing me in the same clothes as the day before and insisted that I needed to take care of myself even though she was in the hospital.She wanted me to remember to take a shower, eat, and do everyday things and not waste away just because she was in the hospital. I only managed to smoke a cigarette after the shower, not being focused enough to eat. I would eat something as soon as I was with her at the hospital.As I finished packing her things into a bag, I received a call from Spencer, and I remembered that I was waiting for him to find the car of the person who had hit my girlfriend.The right thing to do would be to take the person to the nearest police station once I caught them, but I felt more inclined to take revenge with my own hands

58: Everything Collapsing

Cassie’s POV"We only want what’s best for you, Cassie. We don’t want you to get hurt any further. Joshua and Mark have a complicated relationship, and you need to understand the problems that can arise from that. It’s not as simple as you imagine," Beckie tried to calm me down, but I was completely devastated by the revelation.As I slept, my mind was filled with conflict and confusion. I woke up frequently in a startled state with nightmares about the difficult situation I was in. It felt like everything was crumbling around me.When I finally woke up, I felt an emptiness inside me. Reality had hit me hard, and I needed to deal with the consequences. Beckie was sitting by my side, holding my hand."How are you feeling now?" she asked with a concerned expression."Everything seems so confusing. I love Josh, but now I know he is Mark’s father, someone he deeply hates. How can we overcome this? How can I choose between the love of my life and my bond with Mark?" My words came out in a

59: Between The Devil And The Deep Sea

Joshua’s POVI had tracked Spencer’s location through his phone, so I knew he was at Carter’s Wine CO. I immediately headed there because I really needed information about Mallory’s whereabouts that only he could provide now.Furthermore, I went straight to his office, where he was talking with Andrew and Connor, but I ignored my other two friends and went straight to Spencer, grabbing him by the collar."Tell me where Mallory is!" I said, looking at him with anger in my eyes. Andrew and Connor tried to separate me from Spencer."Dude, let him go. That’s not how you’re going to solve things!" they tried to pull me away."I’m not going to tell you where she is. I’m not going to let you kill her because of your fucking little bitch!" Spencer yelled, trying to free himself from my grip."You bastard! That bitch almost killed Cassandra! How dare you still have the nerve to protect her?" Fueled by anger, I landed a well-placed punch on his face, causing him to fall to the ground, covering

60: Mallory's Attack

Cassie’s POVHe loved me more than anything? It was strange to hear that declaration from Mark, considering I didn’t have the same feelings for him. But I respected his feelings, even though I couldn’t reciprocate because my heart belonged to another man, who happened to be his father.I knew I needed to tell him about my relationship with his father, but I was so afraid of breaking his heart that I kept postponing that conversation for another future moment. When he spoke those words, I simply smiled and thanked him, not being in a position to do anything more than that."I truly respect the deep love you have for me; I really appreciate it and know that I also care deeply for you." I wished I could see him differently, but I really couldn’t. To me, he was just a close friend. Unsatisfied with my response, Mark wanted to say something more, but he was interrupted by my parents entering the hospital room. They came in hurriedly and immediately embraced me."Sweetie, we missed you so
