“Well believe it. Call me later?” “ I’m going to be busy tonight. Going to the convention center with the misses.” Cassidy forgot it was halloween but that would be a perfect place to run into Erica. After shutting the door behind Trevor she opened her phone and looked through all the pictures she took of them last night.
Erica laid awake in bed with swollen eyes from crying all night. Even though the test was negative she had some glimmer of hope that she was pregnant. On the bright side she didn’t have to worry about who the father would be. A messy situation avoided. Still, it brought her back to the day when she found out she was pregnant the first time and how she should have a little baby right now. The phone rang. “Hello” “Happy Halloween! Have any plans this evening?” her best friend Amber asked. “ Me and Trevor are supposed to be going to the convention center for the Halloween party but I don’t know if I want to go.” “ I was going to ask you if you wanted to go there. I never get to hang with my best friend anymore since I moved.” “No one told you to move to Oasis Springs...I miss you. So much is going on here that I need a friend to talk to and work things out.” “What about Micah? You guys don’t talk anymore?” “Please, Micah has a new boyfriend. When they break up we will hear from her again until the next guy.” They shared a little laugh knowing their friend all too well. “What’s been going on?” “Winston is back and has no plans to leave me alone.” “The love of your life Winston? Nothing has happened right?” “....We already slept together a few times and I can’t help myself…” “We are going to have to talk tonight at the party. I need to get to work but I want all the details.” “Ok love you.” Amber kissed into the phone before hanging up.
Violet slowly opened her eyes still exhausted from the day and night before. But with everything that had happened a nightcap with Winston was a dream. “Good morning beautiful” Winston walked in handing her a cup of coffee. “Thank you, I should probably get up huh?” she loved being in his bed and naked at that. “ You had a rough day yesterday so take as long as you like. Whenever you get up there is some food from H&H cafe on the counter. I didn’t know what you wanted so I just got a few things.” “You didn’t have to do that but thank you. About last night..” “ We had moment and it won’t happen again I promise. We both know that I’m in love with someone else and you are dating someone now, so let’s forget that this happened.” Violet didn’t want to forget though. “Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.” Winston turned as if getting ready to leave but stopped to turn back. “Happy Halloween by the way. I wanted to go to the convention center but I have no one to go with. You want to go?” “You have to have a date to go?” “No, but I don’t want you here alone by yourself.” “Because of Wesley?” “Part of it.” “Do you have to have a costume to go?” “Yeah, so if you want we can go out to the store later to pick you up one.” “Why not, I need the distraction.”
Kane woke up with his rear end sore. Barely even able to sit he got out of bed waking Neal up in the process. “Everything ok?” Neal asked. “Yeah just a little sore. You were kind of rough.” “I’m sorry, you never complained before.” “This time is different…” Neal got out of bed getting dressed before putting the money on the night stand. “This might be the last time we see each other for a while.” Kane was confused. “Why is that?” “I got a lot of things going on at home and I might take a vacation just to get away for awhile.” “Well you know where to find me when you get back.” “I might not be back.” Kane said nothing in response as he waited for him to leave. He was acting strange but he didn’t much care as long as he got his money. A knock sounded on his door. Thinking it was Neal he opened it to see that it was sister Crissy. “Boo!” He wasn’t amused. “Oh come on Kane you use to love Halloween when we were growing up” she walked inside. “Yeah when we were growing up. I’m a grown man now...I forgot it was Halloween today.” He took a seat next to her making a face.
“I saw the guy that left on my way in...was he big?” “Crissy!” She always found a way to make him uncomfortable but he loved that she was so comfortable with him being gay as well as the rest of his family. “None of your business. You have yet to tell me why you are here.” “ I have come to spend the day with my big brother. We always spend Halloween together and I hear that there is a huge Halloween party going down at the convention center and I want to go.” “One, we never spend Halloween together and two since when did you want to go to a party and on Halloween?” She sighed . “Fine! I only want to go because there is this guy I like and I heard that he is going and I don’t want to go by myself.” “Don’t you have friends to go with?” “I do, but they all want to do something different so I’m asking my brother that lives close by.” “I had no plans of going but if that’s what you want to do then….I guess.” She screamed out making him cover his ears. “Thank you! I love you so much!” “You old enough to get in?” “Yeah, you have to be eighteen to get in I just can’t drink.” “I need to see this guy you’re talking about.” “ All you need to know is that he is really cute and older.”
Convention Center
Kane tugged at his costume as his sister rushed him to the door. Walking inside the place was mostly empty. “ No one is here...This is suppose to be the party?” he asked confused. “No we are early. I want to be able to see him when he comes in.” “How are you even going to tell its him if he’s going to be wearing a costume?” “I will know it’s him.” “Well eat some candy while I go have a drink kiddo.” He pat her on the head before leaving. Crissy didn’t have to wait too long before he came in. “Logan!” she called out running over to him. “Crissy? What are you doing here?” “I’m here for the party….I came with my brother.” “Are you old enough to be here?” “I’m eighteen now so yes. Finally legal” she added in. “Nice, how is your mom doing?” “Good. Where is your costume?” “I’m putting it on later. Chez’s is catering the event tonight. I could sure use your help, I miss having you working for me.” She blushed. “If you really need me than I would love to help cater and anything else you want.” She gave him a sly look. “I think we could work something out...meet in the back in an hour.” Crissy’s insides turned to butterflies. Hopefully the night had come that she was finally going to get her crush.
An Hour Later
Cassidy pulled up in front the center trying to get in contact with Bri. It was strange to go a whole day without talking to her friend. She would stop by tomorrow but for now she was on a mission. A crowd already started to form around the dance floor and the bar. With a quick scan of faces she didn’t see Erica or Trevor. No matter. It was just a point of waiting for the right moment to strike. With a double to check to make sure her phone was in her pocket she decided to go get a drink.
Following behind Cassidy Winston and Violet showed up pausing at the main entrance to look inside. “I think I change my mind” Violet said ready to go home. “Why? We are already here and you’re dressed.” “I know but I don’t really want to be around all these people.” He grabbed her hands. “You need some fun right now. After a few drinks I promise you will be in a better mood.” Taking a look out into the crowd again Violet saw Logan disappearing into a room with a woman. “What’s wrong?” “ I thought I saw Logan just now.” “Go look for him and I will get us some drinks.” With that they parted ways.
“When you said you wanted to help me earlier what did you mean by that?” Logan asked closing the storage door behind Crissy. “Just what I meant. Anything you need me to do.” He walked up behind her making her gasp for air. “I always thought you were pretty but you were always too young for me.” “I’ve always liked you too.” She turned to face him kissing him. He pushed her over to the nearest counter and began to undress her.
“Give me two wrench’s please” Winston said to the bartender. “Winston?” Cassidy put her drink down not believing it was him. He made a face. “I thought I said I never wanted to see you ever again. You following me?” “Don’t flatter yourself. Although I wouldn’t mind sleeping with you again I’ve moved onto better things.” He laughed. “Ruining someone else’s life?” “ No, I didn’t ruin your life I just wanted to be apart of it but you made it clear that you didn’t want me. I’ve met someone though.” “Congrats.” The bartender handed him his drinks. “Now if you’ll excuse I need to forget I just talked to you. Have a nice life.” Cassidy eyed that he had two drinks and couldn’t help but be angry.
Logan had Crissy’s legs wrapped around him as they moved in unison enjoying the high of the moment. “I thought you said you would be busy tonight not fucking someone else!” Violet yelled in shock.
Logan quickly pulled out of Crissy trying to pull his pants up. “This is not what it seems.” “Really cause it looks like fucking to me.” “Please...just let me talk to you.” “No” she laughed “That woman tried to warn me and I didn’t listen. Don’t call me again.” Violet stormed out. Logan looked back at Crissy who was fixing up her clothes and said a quick sorry before running behind Violet.
Violet walked over to Winston. “I’m not staying here! If you want to be here by yourself then fine!” “Woah” Winston got up from his seat to stop her. “What’s wrong? What happened?” “The worst two days of my life! Not only does my ex come back to beat on me some more, Logan is sleeping with some other woman and we haven’t even been dating for two seconds!” “Violet wait up” Logan walked up to them. “Nah, She doesn’t want to talk you.” Winston got in his way blocking him from her. “I just need to talk to her.” “You deaf? Walk away.” Violet walked away leaving them alone. “Stay away from her or you will have to deal with me.”
Erica walked into the convention center bumping into someone. “I’m sorry I wasn’t looking where I was going” Violet said on the brink of tears. “ It’s fine I was wasn’t paying any attention either.” The woman left out. Erica’s heart jumped when she saw Winston walking out. They didn’t exchange words but just looked at each other until he walked out the door. It was strange that he said nothing but it was probably for the best since Trevor walked in. “You find a parking spot?” she asked him. “Yeah, It sure got crowded quick.” They walked in together. “I thought you had to wear a costume to get in?” Erica noticed some people dressed in everyday clothes. “That’s what I heard too. Want a drink?” “Yeah sure.” Erica went to find a seat. “Hey girlie!!” Amber squealed walking over to her. They hugged tightly. It had been a while since they seen each other. “How have you been?!” Amber asked as they sat down. “Alright I guess. I really need to talk to you.” “Is Trevie here?” “You know I hate when you call him that.” “That’s the point” Amber laughed. Before Erica could say anything Trevor joined them holding two drinks. “Nice to see you Amber.” “Nice to see you too. I will catch up with you guys later. I need to get back to my date.” “Date?” “You think I would come by myself?” All Erica could do was shake her head at her friend. “I’m going to go to the bathroom...be right back.”
Cassidy watched as Erica got up and headed back out to the main entrance. If this was her time to tell her the truth she was going to do it now. Drinking the last of her drink she got up and walked in the same direction as Erica.
Crissy plopped down next to Kane not sure how to feel about what just went down. “What’s with the long face?” “Nothing.” “Didn’t see your crush huh?” “No, I’m ready to home.” “No….You dragged me out here to this party and we are at least going to stay for a while.” “Can I ask you a question?” “What’s that?” “You ever like someone more than they liked you?” As she finished her question Kane spotted Trevor in the crowd. “Everyday sis….everyday.”
Erica walked out of the bathroom to see Cassidy standing there. A face she never thought she see again. “Cassidy, hey what are you doing here?” “Just here enjoying the party. I saw you with some guy….who is that?” “Oh, that’s just my husband Trevor. We thought we come and enjoy the party but I’m not really in the mood.” Cassidy pulled out her phone. “You know I find that strange that you say that’s your husband because I know him.” Erica looked at her funny. “What do you mean you know him?” “The funny thing is I was just with him the other night and we ended up sleeping with each other.” Cassidy showed Erica the pictures of them together enjoying the sound of Erica’s world crashing down around her. Erica stormed off while Cassidy laughed happy at the damage she caused.
Erica walked over to Trevor and smacked him hard across the face before throwing Cassidy’s phone at his chest. Everyone around watched in shock as Erica took off leaving his face stinging. He picked up the phone to see a picture of him and Cassie together naked. A tear rolled down his cheek. The sad part was she wasn’t the only person he cheated on her with…..
