Chapter 18

*Meanwhile*

"Brad, let me go!" Mandie yelled as she was being shoved into the small plane with Brad quickly following her.

"Oh no, why would you want me to do that? That wouldn't be any fun," he slid beside her on the plane seat and Mandie got disgusted, "I figured we could spend some time together. This seems like the only way we can do that, so I might as well take it."

"I don't wanna spend any fucking time with you...what is every one gonna think when I don't show up for my photo shoot...? "

"I really don't know...but we never have time together and well...I need to be with you."

"Well I don't," Mandie pushed his leaning body away, "Let me fucking go...you ass."

"You'd want that, huh?" he replied harshly, slapping her in the face. Her head went flying and hit the window and he laughed. But much too quickly. Mandie quickly kneed him in the balls and he fell over in pain. She wished she could run somewhere, but the plane was already starting to take off. She had to think of something to save herself. She jumped over him but he grabbed her leg and she fell to the floor. He quickly got up from the ground and picked Mandie up. Brad tossed her into her seat and buckled her in�"You can't run away now, we are taking off baby," He smiled and winked at her.

"Don't you fucking call me that," she yelled at him, "Let me tell you this wont be a fucking pleasant trip."

"That's what you say now, later you'll be thinking differently," Brad smiled over to Mandie evilly and she could have just spit in his face.

*Meanwhile*

"Okay guys, I'm going," Cass grabbed her small carry-on, "Don't worry about me too much. I'll be okay, hopefully."

"Oh that comforts us a lot," Justin muttered, smiling on the inside that Cass was oblivious about his and Lance's plans to follow her in coach seats.

Lance came up and gave her a hug, acting like he was worried, "We'll see you later kid."

"Ha ha," Cass laughed and looked at Justin. The next thing they did even shocked Cass and Justin really. Justin leaned in slowly as did Cass. He put his hand on the side of her cheek and brushed his lips against hers�they slowly pulled away.

"Wow," Cass said and Justin smiled. She went back over to Lance and hugged him.

"Bring her back to me Cass," he said in a worried voice.

"I will, don't worry," she looked over at Justin as she hugged Lance and felt strange after their kiss. Like for some reason, she wouldn't be back to continue on the relationship they were building.

"Wish me luck," she said to both of them as she picked up her carry-on and looked back at Justin, "We'll continue this later, maybe," she said a little pessimistically as she started walking down the terminal, giving Justin a sad, longing look as she disappeared from their view.

"Do you got money Lance?" Justin asked.

"Yah�do you?"

"Of course... let's go " they walked up to the desk and got their tickets and put on sunglasses and baseball caps.

"We have to sneak by her," Justin said handing his ticket to the stewardess.

"Yah," they slowly walked on the plane. They looked up to the first class seats and they saw Cass, her hand up to her face, apparently biting her nails. No one had ever seen her this nervous before. This could be a life or death situation was running through her mind as she once again thought of the kiss between Justin and herself.

Justin walked past her, looking down upon her nervous face and she didn't recognize him. She gave him a strange stare and Justin felt like he should wrap his arms around her to keep her safe. But he knew she would never want him to do that. She didn't depend on anyone else to make her feel the way she did. He liked her independence a lot. But he was falling in love so it was hard to convince himself of that.

*meanwhile*

Mandie walked back to the bathroom with tears in her eyes. She shut the door and locked it and sat on the cover for the seat and let all her tears out...she cried out the tears of her pain�the tears of missing Lance...the tears of her future...she cried out all her problems. She thought silently of what to do to get out of this situation. She didn't know what the guys and Cass were doing at the moment. She hoped they were doing something to help her out of this. She had heard very briefly from Brad, "She'll come, I know her," and smiled. Mandie knew something about Cass and Brad that she hated to talk about.

She wiped her eyes and went back to her seat where Brad was peacefully sleeping and she decided she had a long flight ahead of her so she would also lay down�but something was bugging her she couldn't even close her eyes.

She couldn't stand to even be near Brad much anymore because of the story between him and Cass. While her and Brad were dating, he would see Cass and abuse her for no reason. She really didn't know why, and she didn't find out until they broke up. Brad had tried to rape her and she definitely didn't put up with that, so he'd go almost every day when he visited Mandie and hit Cass until she would give up her virginity. He even liked to beat her after they broke up, until Mandie decided to take things into her own hands. That's why, I guess, she thought, he was getting her back. Because Cass had always ruined his plans for Mandie and himself.

But Cass didn't deserve any of this...she didn't understand why Cass was able to take such a beating. She had been sitting there the whole flight thinking, but before she knew it they were landing... and Brad was awake stroking her hair.

"Hey darling," he whispered into her ear seductively and she tried to fight temptation and looked at him harshly.

"Don't touch me, not after all the shit with Cass," Mandie got up from her semi-tired state and stood up, stretching out.

"Oh come on, she meant nothing to me, she was all the time, used to get to you," Brad told her, slouching lightly in his seat.

"I don't give a flying fuck," she yelled at him.

"Oh well...lets go," Brad grabbed Mandie's hand harshly and drug her out of the plane.
