And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

"You're not going anywhere until you tell me where it is you were at, Cassie. People don't walk out this way without a reason."

Unsure of what to say to him, I stared at him blankly, opening and closing my mouth as if I wanted to tell him, but at the same time couldn't because I didn't think he deserved to know. "Get the fuck off me, Lucas."

Snatching my arm away from him again, I narrowed my gaze, trying to understand why he thought he had a right to order me around as if he still had some kind of say. He revoked his claim to me, whether willingly or not, and therefore had no say over me anymore. "Damn it, Cassie! Just fucking tell me!" he roared in frustration.

"I was with Silas!" I yelled back, Lucas' eyes going wide as if what I said took his breath away. Never had I expected my relationship with Lucas would be like this. It was exhausting going through the same shit over and over, but as soon as I said Silas' name, Lucas slowly began to lose his shit.

"You were with the dragon?" he snarled, "are you fucking him now?"

Gasping, my mouth dropped open in shock. "Excuse me?"

"Oh don't act like that, Cassie. You're a fucking whore, just like I knew you would be."

Lucas had some audacity to call me such things, considering he was the one who fucked me then suddenly decided he didn't want to be with me. "Go fuck yourself, Lucas. It doesn't matter what I do with anyone... I don't belong to anyone." "That's where you're wrong, Cassie. You're mine and nothing but a disappointment."

His words left a hole in my heart, and as my angry scowl fell, I felt my emotions rise. I had never been someone to show my emotions like I had lately, but hearing him say I was a disappointment was too much. "Fuck you." Laughter erupted from his throat as he nodded then shook his head, "I knew it... nothing but a whore, just like I was told by others. I should have rejected you."

to scream at him that I accepted the rejection so he felt exactly how I did when he rejected me, I couldn't. I couldn't be cruel like that to him, no matter how much I wanted to be. "You know nothing
