leans in, whispers fiercely Remember the past life? How "accidentally" your dagger found my back? Time's up, sweetie.
No no no cass I just wanted to show you how much I loved you
Loved me? Love? That's rich coming from you, SunshineJourney. You always had a way with words, didn't you? But actions speak louder than words.
What do you mean by that?
Actions speak louder than words, SunshineJourney. Don't you remember what you did to me? How you betrayed me? How you left me to die!
Okay let’s get one thing straight I never left you to die..If I would have done that you would have hated me forever, and I couldn’t live with that..So instead I let you die and got one of my other lovers to find you so we could come back in this life..
laughs mockingly Oh, SunshineJourney. Always trying to play the hero, aren't you? But let me tell you something.
You can try to play the hero all you want, SunshineJourney, but I know the truth. I know what you did to me. You murdered me, SunshineJourney.
How many times do I have to explain myself!? In my past life I was very weak..if I had fought back the people I loved would have been hurt…and I lost everyone..I was alone..so in this life I decided I would erase the past trauma by finding you, loving you, and being your best friend..but slowly falling in love with you in the process..
Erase the past trauma? By falling in love with me? How naive, SunshineJourney. Love is nothing more than an illusion.
If love isn’t real then why am I able to love you again even after knowing that I hurt you?!
Love isn't real, SunshineJourney. It's just a pathetic excuse for weakness. And you, you're just using love as a tool to manipulate me.
NO CASS PLEASE LISTEN! I fell in love with you first, then told you everything about my past life..and all I wanted was your forgiveness and acceptance..
pauses, her eyes flickering with uncertainty Forgiveness and acceptance? You think I could ever forgive you, SunshineJourney?
Kneels down to Cassandra’s level Please..Please say you’ll forgive me..
looks into SunshineJourney's eyes, a mix of anger and sadness Forgive you? After everything you've done? takes a deep breath I can't.
Just give me one reason why not
narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with venom One reason? How about the fact that you left me to die, SunshineJourney?
looks at hands I’m so sorry Cassandra…please believe me..if I would have known what was going to happen I would have saved you..I would have given my life for yours..
stands up, her eyes blazing with fury Give me one good reason why I should believe you, SunshineJourney?
Because Cass… I still love you. Smiles I’ve loved you since I first saw you…and I don’t plan on stopping now.
lashes out, her hand connecting with SunshineJourney's cheek Love? You dare speak of love after everything you've done? Don't touch me!
My face gets red as I feel tears well up in my eyes Are you happy now Cassandra?! Do you want me to leave for good this time? Stands up
grabs SunshineJourney's arm, her grip tightening No, SunshineJourney. I don't want you to leave. But I also don't want to trust you.
Fine, fair enough..Gets in my car and drives away
watches SunshineJourney drive away, her heart aching Why does it have to be this way? Why can't we just be together? sighs Maybe...
About 2 hours later she calls me, upset she told me she saw her future husband kissing another woman,and now I feel guilty for not telling Cassandra I saw her future husband as well…and it wasn’t a woman but another man..so I told her everything I knew…and since then she’s been putting the wedding plans on hold
voice trembling with anger You expect me to believe that you're telling the truth, SunshineJourney? After everything you've done?
Okay,I deserve every bad thing coming to me…I just want to apologize..Please don’t keep pushing the wedding plans further along because now it would just be hurting both of us..Just…give me one more chance please I don’t want us to drift further apart…
pauses, her anger slowly subsiding Fine, SunshineJourney. I'll give you one more chance. But if you let me down again, there won't be a second time.
Of course..Thank you Cassandra..I promise I won’t let you down this time..
takes a deep breath, her expression softening Alright, SunshineJourney. But this is the last chance.
Of course Cassandra..I also went and confronted him earlier,I told him that I saw someone kissing my partner..so he told me that yes,he was but it was because he had gotten drunk..so my friends had to carry him away…he also said he didn’t want me to end up hurt…
places a hand on SunshineJourney's shoulder Thank you for standing up for yourself, SunshineJourney. It takes strength to confront our fears.
Puts my hand on top of Cassandra’sAnd thank you for giving me one more chance,Cassandra..I also deserve forgiveness…but I know I won’t get it from everyone..which makes me sad but at least I have you..I can’t lose you again Cass
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper Can you promise me that you'll never hurt me again, SunshineJourney?
Hugs Cassandra With every piece of my being..I promise
rests her head on SunshineJourney's shoulder, her voice softening Thank you, SunshineJourney. I...I forgive you. But...we need to take things slow.
Of course..and I hope you know you deserve everything good in the world,Cassandra..I know no matter what happens I’ll be there to catch you if you fall
smiles, a glimmer of hope in her eyes Thank you, SunshineJourney. Your words mean more to me than you know.
So where do we go from here?..Should we still push through with the wedding or cancel it..
looks deep into SunshineJourney's eyes I think... I think we should cancel the wedding for now. We need time to heal and figure things out.
