859 Words
It had been a long couple of days for Cassie to say the least, Tommy too. After they left Sarah's house with full bellies they made their way to the hotel that Steven was staying at, bringing food that Sarah had sent with them. Cassie had called Steven to let them know they would be there within the hour. The car ride was quiet but it was a comfortable silence. Tommy had the radio on and was focusing on the road. He was lost in his own thoughts over everything that had happened since he met Cassie, it brought a smile to his face. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t notice the car that was following them. Cassie brought him out of his thoughts when she spoke up “babe I think there is someone following us” she told him. He looked in the rear view mirror and saw she was right “do you know how long they have been following us?” he asked Cassie “since we turned off of Sarah's road. I think I know who it is too.” Tommy had an idea too but didn't want to scare Cassie. They made some turns that weren’t needed and sure enough the car behind them followed. Tommy slowed down to see if he could catch a glimpse of the driver and passenger in the other car. It worked and confirmed that it was in fact James and Scott. “hold on baby, I am going to try to lose them. I have had enough of them for one day” Cassie agreed and tightened her seat belt. Tommy floored it and took one road after another and was finally able to lose them when he hit the highway. He got off two exits down. He was going fast enough that they were not able to catch up. Cassie called Sarah to let her know what had happened and then she called Steven to let him know that they would be a little later than planned. When she hung up her phone started ringing it was James. She didn't want to answer it but did anyway. [What do you want] [I want you back home where you belong] James replied [yeah, that is not going to happen James and you can tell Scott that his whole idea of getting me back isn’t going to work either] she heard both boy growl in frustration [ you can quit following me too and don’t call me again. I am not coming home] Cassie hung up the phone after that. She was furious with them. Tommy looked at her and was going to ask her what was going on but one look at her face and he shut up. They arrived at Steven’s hotel without incident after they lost the boys. Steven came to greet them in the lobby. Tommy didn't relax until they were in Steven's room behind closed doors. Cassie told Steven everything that had happened and he was furious. “How dare they hurt my daughter and then follow her, I will have their heads on a platter before the day is out” he said “calm down dad we have it handled” Cassie told him, not realizing that she had called him dad. Tommy sat silently, he didn’t know what to say. “oh before I forget these are from Sarah” Cassie handed Steven the containers of food “you will like it I promise.” “Thank you daughter” he said to her. Tommy looked at his phone to check the time. It was past 2 and he wanted to get Cassie home before it got to late. “Babe I hate to cut this short but we should get going” “ok just let me say goodbye and I will meet you in the hall” she said. Tommy waited in the hall and gave Jake an update and told him to make sure the security around the pack house was tighter than ever. While Tommy was in the hall Cassie went to say goodbye to Steven. “Dad are you in here” she said entering the livingroom “yes sweetheart I am over here” she found him staring out the window. “i just want to say goodbye and that I will keep you posted with everything” “thank you and stay safe. Once this is over we need to have a long talk about your mother, you remind me so much of her” he wrapped her up in a hug and kissed the top of her head. She left and met Tommy in the hall. They headed out of the hotel and toward the car. “Back to Sarah’s?” Cassie asked. Tommy shook his head “nope we are going to meet my parents at the pack house and that is where you will be staying from now on.” Cassie was silent. She had wanted to meet his parents but not this fast. She shrugged her shoulders and was silent.  The ride to the pack house was uneventful much to their relief. When they pulled up to the house Cassie let out a low whistle and stared “you live here? My house looks like a shanty compared to this place”
