You're not alone anymore. You have me."
I couldn't breathe. I couldn't speak. I had been alone for so long with my questions and theories and anger--and now this beautiful, fantastic girl was saying she believed me.
When she closed her eyes and kissed me, I finally let go of myself. Everything I had held in before, didn't have to be hidden anymore--not from Cassie. My eyes drifted shut as she kissed me harder, her arm winding around my shoulders to pull me close.
Without having to say anything more, I just knew now--maybe I always had--Cassie was the answer.
