Chapter Twenty Six- Cried a River

Cassy blinked, opening her eyes the next morning. She found a pair of blue eyes starring
right back at her�s.

�Morning,� Cassy yawned, stretching.

�Morning,� Justin said back.

�How long have you been watching me?�

Justin shrugged his shoulders. �Awhile.�

Cassy sighed. �I better start getting ready for school.�

�I was thinking, do you think you can miss school for just today?�

�I really shouldn�t, since it�s my senior year.... why?�

�Well, I called my mom last night before you came over and told her about the baby.�

�What did she say?� Cassy asked fearfully.

�She was disappointed in me, but that�s it. She really wants to meet you. so I was
thinking maybe we could go and visit her and my step-dad today. This is if you want to.�

�Sure,� Cassy said, looking down.

�What�s wrong?� Justin asked concerned, lifting her chin.

�What if they don�t like me? What if they just think of me as a slut? Cassy asked, tears
spilling down her cheeks.

�They would never think that!� Justin said sternly. �They�re going to love you!

�If you say so,� she said still feeling doubtful.

�Cassranda Renee Smith, I love you. That alone will make them love you. Ok?�

�Ok,� Cassy sniffled, wiping away her tears. �I feel like I�ve cried a river this last week. I
think I�m going to go take a shower.�

Alright. I�m going to call my mom to let her know that we�re coming over.�
