Chapter Thirty Eight- The Permanent Move

I woke early the next morning, waking up Emma and Tom rather harshly. I was still extremely pissed over the actions of the previous night.

"Why are you so...not Cassie?" Carson asked as we finished packing up the car.

I rolled my eyes "I'm still Cassie now give your sister a hug so she can get the hell out of here" I opened my arms for him. He didn't hesitate to crushing me.

Then I walked over to Clay.

"I heard the conversation" He spoke.

"I don't want to hear about it-" I started

"No...I thought he deserved it, in some way I'm proud of you standing up to our father" He smiled crookedly.

I hugged him "I love you Clay"

He hugged me back gently, laughing a little "Love you too Cas"

I smiled as we broke apart.

We finished saying our goodbye's and left to the car. I took a last glance at the house and saw my father standing in front of the window looking at us leaving. I had no guilt at all, I just continued to glare as I stepped into the passenger seat.

Tom started the car driving back down the dirt path.

"Well that was exciting" Emma said with enthusiasm.

"Yes very" I stated staring out the window waiting for the long drive back.

When we reached the house in the late afternoon, my anger seemed to have completely dissolved away. But that could have something to do with all of the jokes and pranks that had been played along the ride.

Tom unlocked the door to see Timber running up tail wagging in all, but he didn't run up to Tom...instead he ran up to me, jumping up on his hind legs licking my hands and barking with delight.

"This is what I get for feeding you all these years?" Tom exclaimed his hands resting on his hips. I laughed as I squatted down next to the happy dog, receiving a very long slobbery kiss, petting his head lovingly.

"I'm crashing here tonight" Em said opening up the fridge.

"Who said I wanted you here?" Tom asked.

"Who said we didn't want her here?" Dan asked popping out of thin air.

"Dan!" I shouted standing back up and tackling him with a hug. He chuckled hugging me back "You were only gone the weekend"

I retracted from him and said "it's been a very long weekend"

"You can say that a million times" Tom said leaning up against the counter finally receiving some attention from Timber who was wanting attention from Tom. "No, No did you ever hear the saying bro's before hoes?" he said staring down at him.

"Excuse me?" I said not liking being referred to as a 'hoe'.

Tom rolled his eyes "Sorry"

"I had a fabulous time" Em said still looking throughout the refrigerator.

Both Tom and I glared at her. She held her hands up in defense.

I sighed "I'm going to take a shower" I started walking up the stairs.

The shower was very refreshing. It was as if I was washing the past life off returning to the least drama filled one. But then again I live with actors; there is always some kind of drama.

I changed into some sweats letting my hair air dry. I looked at my phone because I had left it here. There was three new voicemails; I decided that now was the best time to listen to them.

The first one was from an unknown caller, I listened to it anyway though.

"I'm leaving this message for Cassandra Dean. I would just like to inform you that your apartment complex has finished its repairs, and that you may move back in at any time. Thank you and good day."

I muffled a scream as I fled out of the room and ran down the stairs, sliding gracefully into the living room where all of them sat. "Guess what?!" I said smiling as I panted

"What?" Dan asked

"I'm moving out" I said smiling, I was happy that I could live on my own again. Not that I didn't love living with Tom and Dan it's just it makes me feel like I can't take care of myself. Which I most defiantly can.

"What?!" Tom shouted shocked.

"Yeah I can move in tomorrow" I said still smiling.

"You're not going to live here anymore?" Dan asked weakly, but it was more of a statement then a question.

"Well I do have another home" I said confused by his words.

Emma sat there silently.

"Cassie can I talk to you in the other room please" Tom said standing up and walking back towards the kitchen.

I followed confused.

"Yes?" I asked

"You're not going to honestly go back there are you?" he asked, almost showing no emotion on his face.

"Well yeah I kind of was planning-"

"Move in with me" he said cutting me off.

"What?" I asked shocked. I mean I had kind of been living here but that was temporarily, not permanent.

"Move in with me. And I'm not talking about the same living arrangement now, I mean like living in the same room and-"

"Tom" I said cutting him off "I have a job" I said, not trying to make an excuse because I secretly wanted nothing better than to actually live with him, but I was back to square one, I could take care of myself.

"Quit, I'll take care of everything; I'll take care of you. Just don't leave" He said breaking the gap in between us to wrap him arms around my waist pulling me closer to him. I sighed contemplating it over. He gave me his puppy pout which he knew I couldn't resist. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm still going to have my apartment just in case" I said, giving in.

He smiled brightly and crushed me to his body, then tensed and let go of me. "Why do you need to keep it?" he asked. I could already see that he knew the answer to the question and wasn't happy about the subject just by looking into his beautiful eyes.

"What if we you know...break up?"I asked looking down, for some reason I was a little embarrassed.

"What if we don't?" he asked tilting my chin back up.

I sighed "How about I keep it for a year, and then if we're still together by then-"

"When we're still together" he interjected.

I rolled my eyes "When we're still together by then, I'll give it up...okay?"

He sighed "Okay, I can deal with that"

I smiled and gave him a sweet innocent kiss.

"I'm still going back there tomorrow and packing up my stuff though" I said as I unwounded myself from him, and started to walk back into the other room.

"Okay I'll go with you"

I stopped mid track and turned around as fast as lightning

"What are you going to do if they ever see your room?" Taylor said as she stepped into my room.

"Uh no I can do it myself, you don't have to do anything" I told him.

He corked up an eye brow suspicious "Why not? I'm not going to make you pack all by yourself and it's not like I have anything better to do"

I whimpered "Fine" I mumbled walking back into the other room where Emma and Dan had turned on the television, watching some show that I did not know.

"Cassie's staying!" Tom chanted as he followed behind me.

The both turned around to face us. "Really?" Dan asked excitement clearly lifted his features. I nodded.

"So I'm not like forcing this on you right?" Tom asked, we were already moving my clothes that I had here into his closet. And all of my other stuff into his room as well. "Cause I don't want you to do something that you don't want to"

I smiled at him "No I want to move in with you...but I just feel spoiled here"

He pulled me onto his lap as he sat on the bed, smirking "I like spoiling you" he pinched my nose which I wrinkled annoyingly.

"I've noticed"

He smiled and kissed me passionately pulling me closer so that there wasn't an inch separating our bodies. I nipped at his bottom lip, asking for entrance which he granted. I tangled our tongues together, while wrapping my arms around his neck as he leaned back so that he was laying down on the bed with me on top of him.

I decided on messing around with him for a little while. So I let my hands travel to his hair, softly tugging on the ends, as I slowly grinded to him, which cause him to groan. I smirked loving being in power. He grabbed my hips begging me to do it again. But I denied, as I unattached our lips and kissed my way down to his neck were I began the search for his sweet spot. I nibbled and sucked at the skin until I came to the spot between his neck and left shoulder, where he moaned. I smirked at the skin as I started biting and kissing a little more, he moaned again and I pulled back getting off of him and on my side of the bed. He just stared at the ceiling breathing heavily. "God your such a tease" he managed to say once he caught his breath.

I smiled smugly as I got under the covers and faced towards the door. "Goodnight"

"Nu uh you are not leaving me hanging" Tom said as his arms snaked around me.

"I think I just did" I giggled turning around to face him.

"I hate you" He said playfully glaring at me.

I rested my forehead against his closing my eyes welcoming sleep. "No you don't you love me"

He sighed "Yes I do Cas, yes I do"

I woke up to a girlish scream, and laughter.

"What is going on?" I groaned, barley opening my eyes, but when I did they were more men in the room, which frankly was really weird when you wake up with three guys and your boyfriend in a room.

"CASSIE!!!" Tom screamed.

I was deeply beyond confused. Tom was yelling at me and screaming like a girl, hehehehe, and the guys were practically rolling on the floor laughing.

"What?" I asked

He walked out of the bathroom face red, but that wasn't the only thing different about him this morning. He had three, not one, not two, but three hickey's on his neck.

I held in a giggle. "What's wrong?" I asked

"WHAT'S WRONG? Look at me!" he screamed, which caused the guys to now literally roll on the floor clutching their stomachs.

I climbed out of the bed and walked over to him. "It's not so bad" I said examining the damage closer.

"Their laughing at me and I have to go out in public looking like this?!"

"Who said you had to go out in public?" I asked

He sighed rolling his eyes "What are we doing today?"

Then it hit me, were moving today, and he has to see my room...oh the joy.

"I told you, you don't have to come" I said laying back down on the bed clearly still tired.

"But we want to see where you lived" Dan said as he James and Rupert recovered.

I sat up again "Who said your coming?"

"Who said we weren't?" Dan questioned

"Would you stop doing that its annoying?" I asked

He rolled his eyes. Great that's four of them added on to the making fun of Cassie list.

"Hello" Tom waved his arm "I still have a problem here, there is no way I'm going out looking like this"

I giggled, it was really quite funny how he was the one embarrassed about it and I wasn't. Usually don't the guys show it to their friends proudly? Was I missing something?

Then I smirked "Well there is one way to make it go away"

"I don't like the sound of that" Tom whined

I shrugged "If you really want to...cover it up"

James started laughing even more than he was before.

"What's so funny?" Tom asked/threatened.

"What...she's imply...ing" James managed to choke out.

Tom raised an eye brow "What are you implying?"

"Make up" I smirked

He scrunched up his nose.

"I mean, it's the quickest solution- unless you want an ascot." Never mind the fact that neither of us actually owned an ascot. I said the words casually, getting off the bed and walking into the closet searching for clothes to wear. It was good that we were going back to my place because I was getting really sick of wearing the same cloths again and again.

The guys had all started laughing again by the time I changed and came back into the room.

"So what will it be Tom?" I asked as I put my hair up and walked into his-our bathroom to do my makeup.

He whined but walked into the room and leaned on the counter.

"You're actually going to wear make up?" Rupert gasped out

"You guys wear make up all the time" I snapped at them as I got my cover up out.

"That's different, we are in character then, and it's against our will, this he is agreeing too" James explained

"Oh well excuse me" I said sarcastically.

Tom closed his eyes as if it was going to cause him physical pain to have makeup put on. I laughed and covered up all of the hickeys so that they weren't noticeable at all.

When he looked into the mirror, he smiled with delight. "It's amazing" he said

"Yeah amazingly girly" Rupert snorted.

Tom's eyes snapped to the three of them as he started chasing them around the room until they continued the chase out to the hall way and to the rest of the house I could presume.

I laughed as I picked up my keys and phone, following after them. This was going to be a very long day.

We split up. Tom and I in his car 'Demon', and James Rupert and Dan in Rupert's car. And of course like always the car ride took nearly three hours. I was dreading it too. I really did not want them to see my overly obsessed room that was still probably dirty.

"Seems like forever since we have been here" Tom said getting out of the car.

"I'll say" I said as I followed him.

"So you lived here?" Dan asked, they had been right behind us the whole way, so naturally he walked right behind me as well.

"Yep" I said popping the 'p'.

"Well Brilliant" was the only thing that he could say.

I rolled my eyes as I unlocked the door into my apartment.

I hadn't been in here in months, and it looked like I never left. There were books and movies scattered across the floor everywhere. And it was very dark until Rupert thought of turning on the light.

James and Dan flipped onto the couch as Rupert grabbed the remote and joined them. They were flipping through the channels totally not paying any attention to me whatsoever.

"Did you guys just come here to sit around?" I asked

"Basically" James replied not blinking an eye away from the television.

"I'm here to help" Tom piped in.

I laughed and went in the direction of my room. I took a deep breath before I opened the door. Only for Tom to gasp and then chuckle. "Guys you HAVE to see this" he called.

And five seconds later they were all laughing exploring my room.

Okay so I could basically open up a Harry Potter merchandise store. I was obsessed, not overly obsessed but still obsessed.

"How the hell did you hide all this from me?" Tom said to himself mostly.

"So you guys never knew the full extent on how much I loved Harry Potter so what?" I chuckled at the end nervously.

"Oh my god there is a shirt with me on it!" Dan exclaimed as he was raiding my closet.

"Hey!" I said annoyed. They were like a pack of wolverines.

"It's nice to know that you wear me" Dan winked

"Is that supposed to come off pervertedly?" I asked totally confused.

"It really wasn't clear" Rupert said, flipping through papers on my desk. "Hey Cas what's this?" He asked holding up an envelope.

It had my name written on it, but it defiantly wasn't here when I left. I walked over and picked it up.

Once I saw whose hand writing it was I said "Shit"

"What?" Dan asked as he bounced up and down on my bed.

"Hey get off!" I shouted at him.

"No it's fun" He smiled then he tripped and flew onto the floor "Okay not so fun anymore" he mumbled sitting up.

I started reading the note.

'Cassie, since you won't return any of our calls we figured that you would come back to your apartment sometime and come across this. When we heard that you were dating Tom, without even telling us, that was the last straw. So we are going to stop trying to contact you. You obviously have more important things, but please just be careful, remember what happened with the only other boyfriend you had.

-Danielle & Taylor'

I wanted to crumple it up when she mentioned Will. Tom wasn't like that, and he never would be I was sure of that. Positive even...right?

I felt bad, I had totally neglected them, practically got a new life. Now to top it all off I'm moving away from them, without even think about telling them? What kind of a friend have I become?

I folded the letter and put it in the pocket of my jeans. They had all started looking through my stuff again. Stuffing their faces in drawers, looking through my computer, raiding my closet.

"Tom" I said pulling on my jacket.

"What babe?" He said looking up from one of my old books.

"Give me your keys" I said holding my hand out for them.

"Why?" he asked curiously closing the book.

"I have to go do something" I said getting impatient.

"What is 'something'?" he asked looking more puzzled.

"God I'll be back in an hour" I groaned.

He rolled his eyes and threw me his keys "Fine, but if there is one scratch on the car I swear to god..." he stopped letting my mind wander around his words.

"You'll do what?" I questioned. There was no way he would hurt me.

His teeth grinded together, because he knew that he wouldn't hurt me either. "Just get out of here" He said

I laughed "I'll be back, and don't ruin any of my stuff" I said while walking out the door.

"Won't promise anything" he said winking at me before I closed the door.

Men. Jeesh.

I knocked on the familiar door, begging for them to be home.

The door slowly opened to show Danny, looking shocked.

"Go away" she said quickly shutting the door in my face. I guess I deserved that.

I knocked on the door again. "Come on Danny...I'm sorry! My mind doesn't really work right lately." I said then thought how dumb that sounded, wow lame much.

Nothing happened. "Look I know your listening" I took a deep breath "You guys have every right to be mad at me, but I don't know why I never see your messages on my phone. But that's no excuse I should have been calling you anyway. I just came here to say that, I'm sorry and I'm permanently moving in with him." They still didn't open the door, but I knew they were listening, or at least Taylor was she loved gossip.

I sighed "I love you guys, I do, and I was hoping we could talk this out, but I can see that's not going to work and I have to get back before they tear up my apartment, but I'm going to try and be better I promise" There wasn't even a creek.

"Okay, so I guess I'm leaving now" I said , walking away slowly hoping that they would change their mind and open the door to talk to me, but after a few minutes I gave up and started walking back to Demon whipping a few tears along the way.

The short ride home, just gave me time to think about how horribly I treated them. How can they make me forget everything?! I can't blame it on them though, this is my fault, all my fault.

When I opened the door to the apartment, I heard weird noises coming from my room. I was shocked when I finally opened the door revealing a horrible sight.

Dan was in a Hogwarts Gryffindor cape holding a replica wand, pointing it at Rupert who was weirdly wearing a Slytherin cape in the same position.

"Take that! Avada Kedavra!" Dan shouted waving the wand fondly.

Rupert pretended to die dramatically. "Oh I can see the light! AHHH!" then he finally 'died' sticking his tongue out.
