'Can you meet?' I stared at the screen and nervously chewed on my fingernail while waiting for a reply. She probably wasn't even awake.
'On my way'
relief washed over me when she answered and I got dressed and walked outside. Cassy drove up and picked me up. We walked around the dark and quiet town before sitting down on a bench and I told her about my brothers plan.
"So, you're really leaving?" She asked and I heard the sadness in her voice, she wasn't trying to mask it.
"I can't stay, my life isn't my own and it hasn't been, ever. I need to take it back," I said.
"I understand, do you know when?"
"No, they said they'd call once they had a plan but I don't know when that's gonna be," she nodded her head and grabbed my hand.
"You deserve to live a life of your own choosing so whatever you need, I'll help you," she said and smiled.
