Wishing you were somehow here again
It was the night after Cassie’s date with Danny. Date. Thinking of it like that made her stomach squirm. This was too soon and she didn’t realize it until she’d said yes. Danny was so nice and funny and… she did like him. If she hadn’t met Nathaniel she might have asked him… well, but she did know Nate. And that was the problem. Because even here, sitting on the roof of the building where Danny had taken her last night, she was thinking about Nate. Cassie tucked her legs to her chest and held them with her arms.
One by one the city lights flickered on. Cassie pressed her head to her knees.
“God,” She choked. “Nate… I’m sorry.”
She bit her lip, thinking about what her dad might say. Her dad who was dead. Who should be alive, who could be if she had just taken the time to try and find a way to save her boyfriend. She sniffled. “I’m sorry.”
Cassie raised her eyes to look at the lights over the river, blurred completely by her tears, and broke into sobs.
