Hate Me

Sugar Rush Ride- TXT
"Gimme gimme me more."

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆
Cassidy and Ni-ki whip their heads around, staring at who's by the door. It's Taylor, staring at them in shock. It must've been a strange scene to look at, with Ni-ki holding Cassidy's wrist and mere inches away from kissing. Almost immediately, Cassidy and Ni-ki back away from each other, but it's too late. Taylor has already seen. Her jaw drops. Running up to her, Cassidy grabs her shoulders.

"Listen, you can't tell anyone about this," She looks into Taylor's eyes. She's not exactly the best secret keeper, so Cassidy really needs to nail the seriousness of this. Taylor shakes her head.

"Are you guys-"

"No. Absolutely not."

"Well, there's some kind of tension there, obviously. How long has this been going on?" Taylor questions, crossing her arms. Cassidy sighs.

"A while. But nothings happened," She lies slightly, "please don't tell Amara, or anyone else. This is seriously meant to be a secret. Taylor, do you understand?" A few seconds of silence follow, before Taylor slowly shakes her head. Cassidy sighs in relief.

She turns back around to look at Ni-ki, but he's gone. Disappeared into the dark woods. A gust of wind blows through Cassidy's hair, and she shivers.

"Let's go back inside. C'mon," She ushers Taylor inside, closing the heavy door behind her. Everyone sitting at the table turns towards her.

"Everything's all good," Cassidy smiles. A few desserts are set out on the table, but she's not hungry, especially after what she just saw. She notices that Sunoo is still gone, obviously along with Jake. Luckily, there's no blood on her, since Jake's hand was shot on the opposite side of her.

"Where's Jake and Sunoo?" Cassidy asks innocently, heading towards the table.

"They haven't come back, I dunno. Where's Ni-ki?" Addison asks. Cassidy shrugs. Best would to be playing dumb, as if she doesn't know a thing.

"No clue," And with that, they sit back down.

After finishing up everything, they all work together to clean up, the clock ticking later into the night. A few yawns are shared throughout the room as they check the time. It's already 12 AM.

"Well, it's already late, do you guys wanna just stay the night? It's a long drive back," Heeseung asks, looking towards Taylor for a split second. The girls look at each other, shrugging.

"Sure," They say in unison. Heeseung smiles lightly.

"Great. I'll lead you to your rooms."

"Actually, can we stay in the same room?" Cassidy asks. After the whole thing with Ni-ki and the gun, she doesn't want to sleep alone. Heeseung nods.

"Sure, follow me," He leads them upstairs and to an empty guest room with a few different beds that look really comfortable. Cassidy sends a quick text to her mom, and to her surprise, she agrees to let her stay. After saying goodnight, Heeseung leaves the room, shutting the door softly behind him.

"Wow, what a crazy night," Amara groans, plopping on her bed. Cassidy and Taylor make quick knowing eye contact before laying down in their own beds.

"Yeah. What do we sleep in?" Taylor asks. Amara shrugs, pointing towards some drawers by Cassidy's bed. She opens them, and they're mostly empty besides some old large shirts. Taking off their outfits and slipping the shirts on, they slide under their covers.

"Night," Amara says as they roll over. Cassidy closes her eyes, but all she can see is the man's dead body and Ni-ki holding the gun. She tries to think of something else, but she can't. Thankfully, she eventually falls into a deep sleep.
