ding dong* *ding dong*

The loud doorbell rung repeatedly waking Cassandra with a loud groan.

"comin!damn it!"

As she opened the door the delivery man jumped back in shock of her state.

She had on silk pj's but her but her hair was a mess almost fully covering her face while dark swollen bags were under her eyes she forced to keep her eyes open with the sleeping pills still in effect.

-------------------------------------------

Cassandra Baker

23 years old

5'5

currently unemployed, still hiding from the landlord and basically living in a dump...

yet she is great at whatever job she gets it's the bosses that make the line ticket to quitting in any way possible.

she is usually fun to be around yet antisocial.

--------------------------------------------

"Don't look at me like that. I don't know when last I slept"

the delivery man cleared his throat uncomfortable.

"i have a delivery for Cassandra Baker is..is that you."

"ah..yes that's me" she answered rubbing her eyes.

she wiped the drool from her face signed and took the package.

for me i did not order any packages..

She looked at the note inside the box her phone rang and the number popped that made her frown.

she kicked it away angrily and picked up the phone.

"Hey baabyy" it was her ex Daren.

"you are supposed to receive something today..."

"Just my luck it just arrived." she sarcastically scoffed. "Don't send anything to me WE ARE DONE!"she shouted to him.

"But..but I love you and it's very expensive" his voice was soft and almost utter mockery.

"Sad I just broke it in pieces"

"It's okay as long as you got it"

"Take a hint I never loved you. Your just another guy who i made the mistake of dating and i never want to be associated with you again so STOP BEING A CREEPY STALKER!"

"I was the best person you ever had"

"You think I'm just the shy girl as before huh I WILL destroy you with my fist or a scissors you f**king prick"

"I still love your fake display confidence as before."

" *she sighed* [he was right all she could do is act like it doesn't and didn't hurt..] Don't you think it's way to early to be doing this! It's just 5 am"

She quickly hanged up on the phone harshly throwing it onto the couch and ruffled her hair stressed and angrily with a loud sigh.

--------------------------------------------

Daren was the worst boyfriend Cassandra ever had. She moved just to get away from him.

At first he was almost all she had next to her best friends of course, she was always shy and quiet barley speaking to anyone but when she met Daren on a online dating site she got more open to others.

He was the best to her and always treated her "nice" nice in quotations because he was a total c*ck sucking prick it was her fault at the time for not seeing that.

He wasn't entirely ugly but not cute either the fact is that his money was the way he showed love if he had love anyway.

He would always be at work or with "colleagues" And finally she caught him fucking his "colleague"

--------------------------------------------

"are you the next girl sorry but today is mine I think you are tomorrow"

"T.. tomorrow" that's when he told her he'll be back from the little job trip he had.

Daren walked to the door and the look on his face angered her he was shocked and already stuttering.

"Ca...cass what are you doing here?"

" ....**** you"

She scoffed as she slapped him, giving the girl a dirty look and walked away you could see her anger but no one could tell that she was hurt.

--------------------------------------------

After about a year she moved with her mother and so far had a miserable life....

--------------------------------------------

I stood in Jennie’s kitchen telling her about my morning.

--------------------------------------------

Jennie Charles

26 years old

Best friend of Cassandra

5'6

--------------------------------------------

" and then he said he likes my "fake display of confidence" he is such a creepy hard headed bastard"

" Cassy move out. get a new phone come live with me.. what if he sneaks in." she sounded worried but no, I don't really have to worry.

"Please don't put such thoughts in my head" I answered chills ran down my spine.

she shrugged "I'm just saying he is such a creep just as I told you before"

I scoffed at her " funny because if I remember correctly you told me it's money that matters with these boys"

" I-well that was before I realized he was a total creep."

We laughed it off and her phone buzzes in her pocket repeatedly.

"oh shitt. " she looked at me pissed making me confused as to what I had done.

"What?"

"the group chat is blowing up the CEO is already back"

"huh? but you said he would be gone for this week?"

"shit shit shit I have to go greet him." she breathed out frustrated.

"Go get ready" I ushered.

Jennie ran to the bathroom and I headed to the refrigerator and grabbed a apple.

"Bye Jen I'm out" I called at the door.

"Where to?"Jennie called back from the shower. I didn't even know where I was going.

"We should go to The club tonight." I suggested already at the door.

"Sure I'll come over but where are you going now?"

"I don't know maybe I'll visit mom" I shouted and closed the door behind me.

After leaving the building she strolled down the sidewalk to the building her mom's apartment was in.

As she greeted the security she spotted her mom on her way up and ran to her taking all her load.

"Mom I just came to visit and why you have you come from the supermarket..." her whole fridge is stacked.

"I didn't think you would have groceries so I bought some for you to take home."

"Thanks mom" I grin at her she's right I barely have anything.

" why don't you get a job any job even a teaching job at least" There she goes agaaain...

"I'll get a job I like soon besides I'm not good at teaching anything anyway...I barely have patience to teach."

*. *. *.

Her mother cooked and she decided she should clean the kitchen a little too as help.

"I'm going back to the house"

The house the one I grew up in, the one dad happened to die in. We left it a few months after and had never went back of course it is still under his name but he had no will.

"What. Why?"

"it can't just stay with no one in it"

"Who will I visit when I'm hungry then?"

I said in a jokingly pleading voice.

"Jennie will have you and I will send money if you need"

That guilt hit me again...

"I should be taking care of you..."

" no I take care of you till some crazy man proves he loves you with a ring."

"If.."

We stayed silent for a while...

"When are you planning to go back?"

" tomorrow"

"Are you planning to come back here?"

"I don't think I will but I sure will visit occasionally"

"I'll miss you"

"Aww of course you will but be sure to get a job ok "

"Of course I will mom"

"be a good daughter and eat now"

"Not too much I planned to go out with Jenise tonight"

" no alcohol or clubs right?"

"Of course mom" Cassy lied with a sly grin she knew that was all they would do but her mom would be too against it.

*After lunch*

Cassandra's mom hugged her tightly and gave her groceries and some of the stuff in the apartment. She stacked everything on her bike and dragged it back to her apartment.

When she reached the door her phone rang .

"Hey Cassy the boss just left I'm heading home to change and I just bought a hot dress perfect for you." Jennie said with vehicle noises in the background.

"I don't need cl-" finish Jennie cut the call.

Cassandra sighed as she opened the door to her messy apartment she was excited to go to the club tonight but the type of clothes Jennie has worries her very much.

after packing the refrigerator the door opened obviously it was Jennie.

"oh my gosh I hate him" Jennie groaned while shouting as she sat on the couch with two large bags the newly bought clothes Cassandra guessed.

"Who?"

"my boss, the CEO is outrageous I mean I am meant to have this day off yet because he came early we need to greet him."

"...he does this often"

"yep. He isn't supposed to be here for another four weeks. One time there was a rumour that his private jet had one missing flight attendant and he fired the whole crew saying that they all will practice doing the same thing if not punished."

" HELLO!? How rich can one be?!"

"but the odd thing about him is that he didn't bring his secretary I think he fired her as the usual."

"How long has she worked for him?"

"about 4 months I think"

"Wow for that short"

"would you believe me if I said that that's the longest..."

"Picky Much"

" ugh I need to calm down for tonight luckily I have packages everything to get us ready."

"We don't need to-"

Jennie removed everything from the bags makeup, nail polish and masks.

"we are using everything."

The girls spend hours using the products brought and listening to Jennie’s fails in dating the time past quickly.

*10pm*

The dress Jenise bought for Cassandra was not bad as others she had seen but cute. She wore.

With fish net tights and knee high boots even they're makeup and jewelry fit them nicely.

"Don't you think maybe it's a bit much?"

"look at me you see nearly no clothes so don't complain. Besides it looks great. "

"let's go have some fun tonight cuz I don't have work tomorrow whoo" jennie and I grinned as she took a photo.

"And then you'll leave me to fend on my own"

"....you don't get that drunk when we are out it's mostly me you have to help."

It was now a few minutes after 10 and they were ready to leave, they took a taxi to the night club.

* At night club*

As soon as the girls entered the club they held hands as they pushed through the crowd towards the bar. glasses after glasses they drank the different types of bottles of alcohol.

They were already almost pass out drunk from the drinks many dudes came up to them some ugly many passable but they just drank and laughed at their failed attempts.

.

"HEY CASSY LET'S*hiccup* dance floor!"Jennie shouted to cass over the loud music.

Cass grabbed Rennie's hand while the other still held a glass.they staggered to the dance floor pushing past many people and began dancing and laughing frantically.

They both Stuck by each other jokingly grinding on each other. But soon a tall handsome dude came up to Jennie catching her attention he stayed close to her as they chatted while Cass carried glasses upon glasses over to them and drunk.

" Come on let me find you a taxi Cass."

Cassandra shook her head and pushed them over the time." just go have I ever gotten too drunk."

" girl stay safe.go home early don't get drunk"

"*Hiccup* sure"

Cass was completely drunk and had forgotten about Jennie by the time midnight. When she was exhausted, she left, she staggered down the sidewalk not having the right State of mind to tell where she needed to go.

Stranger:"where are you going pretty girl?"

The stranger though hard to see his face was oversized, had grown out his beard and, his voice was hoarsely pitched But he was covered in gold, chains, rings rich dude type stuff.

He walked up to Cassandra and threw his hand over her shoulder which she disgustingly removed in a scoff she may be drunk but not crazy.

"stay away"

"come on I'll help you get home I promise." He said with a grin

"Leave me alone!"

Cass could barely keep standing and was swaying side to side the man grabbed at her ***.

he grabbed the purse and took it from her so she took off one of her heels and was about to hit him.

Suddenly a car pulled up to them and the man stood still.

And a handsome man walked out.

....?:" Whatever you are forcing her to do. She clearly doesn't want to do it."

************************************

The stranger smiled slightly at her before turning to the man.

" What are you doing to her."

"none of your damn business " the other snapped back.

The stranger scoffed and his gaze softened.

"Is he hurting you?"

meanwhile a cringe covered his observant driver's face...

"Caring!??My boss!" The driver wondered.

Cass nodded her head frantically as she staggered a bit towards the man for help.

The man snapped his fingers and signaled the driver and the driver walked up to the pervert, stomped his feet and kneed him at his jaw when he had bent over.

The man let go of the girl and held his jaw staring coldly at the stranger.

"What are you looking at." He snapped before raising his leg as if to kick him in the crotch.

The other man quickly blocked his crotch and backed away. "Shit man I'm gone, I'm gone. Do whatever the f**k you want with her!"

"Fing Wh**e!"

Cass was laughing hysterically still drunk while staggering back and having barely an Idea of what was going on.

"Only cause you don't get!"

The handsome stranger walked closer and slightly held her arm gently to steady her stand.

"Your drunk do you have someone's number to call to pick you up?" The stranger asked in a deep but gentle voice while he held her arm to keep her standing.

The driver cringed at his boss CARING.

"Oh*hiccup* you mean Jennie right...*hiccup*" Cass searched through her bag for her phone but stopped abruptly before she began laughing again.

"I can't call her..."

"why?" The man asked puzzled.

The girl eyed the driver suspiciously and he did the same. 

"Come I'll tell you a secret"

The man bent down to her as she ushered him to listen to her secret. As she was breathing heavily from her drunken state the man wanted to stay further to prevent him from any form of touch.

I have to tell John this the driver thought.

Cass wrapped her arms around the stranger's shoulder and got closer to his ear. Her breath on his ear made him some what uneasy but in a good way.

"Ah. Boss"

The man rose his hand to stop the driver.

"Jennie..... getting her game on\~ " she giggled.

He turned to her with a puzzled face as she grinned, winked at him and indicated further what she meant by putting her index finger in and out a circle displayed by the other hand before once again shr burst into laughter.

God she was cringy..the man and the driver shared the same thought as he shook his head at her.

"Well do you remember your address" he asked her now annoyed.

"Oh of course*hiccup* um...I think maybe...uumm.."

She sat on the ground scratching her head she didn't even remember her address."Ooh I don't think I have one"

"Sir this woman just needs to go to the police station a 2 blocks from here"

The man agreed that he had done enough to offer his help and the driver turned to leave the woman here.

The driver got into his seat but the stranger didn't want to leave her here.

He took his jacket from the car and put it over her.

"Give me your phone." he instructed as he grew more annoyed by her.

"Thief."she mumbled and rolled her eyes a habit as she folded her arms over her chest. The man had wondered why he was helping this cringe worthy woman.

"Well.. at least get up."

"Nope. I'm not dumb.. you could just be a killer you know which i wouldn't actually mind at this point..." she shook her head slowly still sitting on the ground.

"Give me. I'm trying to help here-" he reassured her as he reached for her bag but before he could even reach it she slapped his hand away.

she abruptly stood up her eyes half closed and he could see her legs visibly shaking as she began stumbling again back in the direction of the club.

He had enough, maybe she was going to find someone.

He was about to leave but saw her swaying a little too much to one side and ran up to her griping her arm as soon as she passed out, he sighed and picked her up and carried her to his car.

*stranger Pov*

I lifted her walking back to the car with a blacked out drunk woman I knew nothing is basically kidnapping yet here I am…

"sir, the police sta-" the driver began but got cut off immediately.

"Yes but you don't know what could've happened to her on her way there or even when she's there and I'm not just leaving her here.

Straight home...and No she's not a ********** if she was she would be willing to go with the man for good money.

The driver was shocked but tried his best to hide his confusion.

He sneakily peaked at them in the mirror.
