Lance was just standing there, afraid to say anything to Cass, who was sitting on the couch and starting to tear up in her eyes, but wouldn't cry. He finally commented, "Cass, we're leaving in a half an hour."
"Have fun on your flight home," Cass said sourly as she let her head sink down on the couch.
"What are you talking about?" Lance asked, confused.
"I'm not going home with you guys."
"What do you me..." he was interrupted by Mandie storming into the living room she walked straight over to Cass and pulled her off the couch
"You get off you fucking ass and tell Justin how you really fucking feel," she yelled. Cass had never seen Mandie so pissed, "It's either that or get your ass packed."
"I can't do that," Cass forced out of her mouth, making Mandie even more pissed, "I can't, after Brad. I can't trust him."
"Yes you can, damnit Cass, you have such a fucking thick skull with nothing in it I could just spit fire," Mandie yelled into her face, making Cass scared.
"You don't understand, Mandie, at least Brad was in love with you, I can never be loved, why would someone want to love such an ugly thing like me?" Cass tried to run away but Lance and Mandie both prevented her from going away. This was the last straw.
"Cass�you aren't ugly�when will you realize that your crush actually loves you? Damnit...I'm sick of this...you go in there and you tell him how you feel," she yelled and pushed Cass to the direction of Justin's room, "Get your ass in there!"
"No," she said.
"Why do you have to be such a selfish bitch?" Mandie yelled.
"I'm not selfish, Mandie, god, do you even care about me?" Cass yelled into Mandie's face, leaving Mandie in a short state of shock. She never knew Cass didn't know if Mandie cared or not, and that hurt her.
"Cass you know I love you with all my heart...I'm just trying to do what's best....I don't want to hurt you Cass, but you need to realize you can trust J."
"I want to tell him so bad, Mandie, I'm just so afraid, you know?" Cass felt her tears swelling up in here eyes again, but wouldn't dare let them out, "I love him Mandie, why can't I just tell him that?"
"Don't even bother, I don't love you anymore," Justin said harshly, clenching his bag in his hand, "Come on guys, obviously Cass wants to stay in Paris. Alone."
"J, what do you mean?" Mandie stood there in shock Justin ignored her and walked outside, "Are you coming, Cass?"
"I can't anymore," she cried as Mandie ran into her bedroom and came out with Cass's bag.
"Come on honey," she said grabbing Cass softly from around the shoulders.
"I can't go with you guys, I'm just a waste of space and your valuable oxygen supply," Cass said, trying not to let her tears escape, but they came pouring out. Mandie knew Cass was really upset about this; Mandie had never seen Cass cry before.
"Come on, people! We're going to miss the fucking flight!" Justin yelled from outside the room and started walking away, trying to think of anything but the pain he was causing himself and the woman he loved.
"Cass please...don't make me drag you out," Mandie said and hugged Cass, "Come on Shorty."
"No," she crossed her arms.
"Fine that's fucking fine with me," Mandie ran out the door whispering something into Smokey's ear and left with her hand in Lance's.
Justin looked back at the hotel as he climbed into the limo, wondering if he was making a mistake leaving her alone in that hotel when he knew he should be staying with her, but he followed the happy couple into the limo, forgetting his worries and being absorbed into the lives of the perfect couple he was with.
*Meanwhile*
Cass sighed as she flopped herself on the couch and started to cry tears of strong hurt and sadness. She didn't know how she would survive without telling Justin or her friends that she was a dumbass for everything she had done that day. She didn't know if they liked her anymore.
"Cass, I'm back," the figure outside her door called through it and Cass looked up in wonder. She saw the figure she loved so much in a cap and sunglasses, with his fingers secretly tied in a cross finger style behind his back as she exclaimed, "Justin!"
"Guess again," he said and looked at her, "Aww they left poor little Cass all alone in Paris and thought I wouldn't get to you...that's so sad," he walked closer to her, "Now are you gonna give me the two things I want?"
"Wha�wha�what is that Brad?" She stuttered out in fear.
"1- your virginity... 2- Mandie," he said and looked her up and down.
"First of all, Brad," she started yelling, trying to cover up her fear in him, "I will never give you my virginity, and two, Mandie left your damn ass and went home with Lance and Justin."
"Which leaves me with the one thing I want," he said lightly, starting to fool her with his fake suaveness, "You. You know I still like you, right?"
"That's bullshit, Brad, "she backed up and Brad was close in following.
"I love you Cass...why cant you realize that?" he said and put both of his hands on the wall behind her and leaned close to her.
"Get the fuck away from her!" Cass heard Mandie's angry voice.
