I bopped my head to the music as I drove the car down the road. The volume was up and the sun was shining, everything was perfect.
"Florida's gonna be great!" I yelled aloud. "No snow. Nothing but beaches and the ocean!"
God the ocean.....the feeling of the water hitting my toes felt so good right now.
"Nothing but peace all around" I laughed. "Shit I should stop talking to myself before people think i'm crazy....fuck I did it again. Shit."
I turned the music up louder to drown out the sound of my phone ringing. God why the hell did my family care so much about me.
"Speaking of my stupid family" I went on. "Lip said Disney world is the shit. Creepy characters and churros...ah there'll be no problems"
I banged the steering wheel to the music as I sped down the road. Nothing but fresh air and good vibes all around baby.
"That sunrise is fucking beautiful!" I yelled out the window. I got a few looks from the farmers I passed but y'know what, fuck them!
They obviously had no idea how to appreciate natures beauty.
"You know what I could really go for right now" I hummed as I pulled up to a road diner. "A large fucking coffee"
I pulled the keys out of the ignition, making my way in the building. It was still early so all that was in there was the staff and a strange trucker dude.
"The biggest coffee you have please and thank you" I laughed, popping down on the stool. The waitress rolled her eyes which I had to say, was really fucking rude.
"Anything else?" She yawned, handing me the cup. God she must really hate her fucking job.
"Oooo how about French Toast?" I smiled. She walked towards the kitchen as I happily sipped on my drink.
I didn't realize how hungry I was until I got a whiff of the air. God I was really fucking hungry.
"You from around here?" The creepy trucker dude asked, taking the seat next to me.
"Nope" I shrugged. "You're in the presence of Chicago's south side trash"
I silently thanked the waitress for my order as I poured a generous amount of syrup on my plate. Speaking of syrup, did you know most maple syrup isn't even real? It's just artificial flavoring!
That was false advertising if you asked me...
"You're a ways from Chicago kid, where you headed?" The man went on as I shoved the fork in my mouth. Fuck didn't he get that I didn't want to talk to him?
"Florida" I hummed happily. "Hey do you know where the nearest town is?"
"Yeah uh, Terre Haute. About an hour down the road" Terre Haute? Oooo that sounded fancy. Terre Hauteeee
"Thanks buddy" I cheered. I placed a Jackson down on he counter before hopping back towards my car.
I still had a long ways to go before reaching my destination so I was gonna need to be prepared with snacks. And maybe a pie.....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Fuck, Indiana is nice!" I laughed as I walked into some coinvent store.
I grabbed a basket from the front filling it up with the needed essentials. Redbull, chips, chocolates, y'know the main food groups.
"Cassie....Cassie Gallagher?" A man's voice called, making me turn around.
"Holy fuck, Tony!" I yelled, pulling the cop into a hug. "Shit, where have you been man?"
Tony Markovich?! The only cop in our city any of us could stand. Holyyy I hadn't seen him in ages. I was kinda hoping he wasn't dead to be honest...
"How are you feeling, Fiona called me early-"
"Oh god, my idiot sister called you? I'm fine Tony, she needs to stop worrying"
Didn't she understand that maybe I just wanted to be left alone? God why did she have to be such a buzz kill.
"You're families worried about you kid" He shrugged as I rolled my eyes.
"They don't need to T-Man" I laughed. "I've never felt better! So goodbye" I turned towards the door and that's when I saw them...
Cop cars and a few police men were surrounding the building....they were there for me. How the fuck did they find me?
"Your car's GPS has a tracker" Tony sighed, coming up behind me. "I'm sorry Cassie, but I can't let you leave"
"You're fucking crazy man" I laughed, silently looking around for another way out. The emergency exit....that's it.
Tony's eyes caught where I was looking but before he could grab me, I sprinted through the store towards the door. Pushing the red handle, I ran outside, the wind flowing through my hair.
I could here him call after me which was soon followed by the sound of running feet. Fuck....I was in the middle of a police chase.
And I was their fucking victim....
I turned down an alley, and of course it was a fucking dead end.
"I won't be tested on!" I yelled, my back hitting the bricks. "Stay away Tony! Stay away"
The tears started falling down my face as he motioned for the other cops to stay back. I tried to push myself as far away from him as I could but at this point it was no use.
"I- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" I sobbed as he pulled me into a hug. "I'm so sorry"
I could feel my body shaking as he helped me off the ground.
Holy shit....what the hell just happened?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They had me locked behind metal bars like some animal. But I wasn't a fucking animal okay? I mean I wasn't crazy.
The cop said it was for my own safety, just until my family could bring me to a hospital.
Fuck...my family. They we're probably so worried.
"Cassandra Gallagher" A man called, opening up the cell. "You're families here"
Great....I followed after him and out towards the waiting room where I was immediately pulled into a hug by Lip.
"You alright?" He whispered as I buried my head into his neck. God why did I have to be so weak.
His place was soon taken by Debbie who looked as if she wanted to cry. I wanted to reassure it, tell her that it would be all right. But I just couldn't....
I didn't know if it was because I didn't have the energy, or maybe I didn't really believe that myself.
She slowly pulled away as my eyes came into contact with Mickeys.
Fuck what was I supposed to say to him?
He wrapped his arm around me but I just couldn't return it. I mean he was the reason I was about to end up in a looney bin.
"Carl and Fi are gonna meet us at the hospital" Lip sighed, wrapping his arm around me.
The hospital....great.
He led me out to the car where I slouched into the back seat. Mickey took the spot next to me, resting my head on his shoulder. God I wanted nothing more than to hate him right now.
I closed my eyes, feeling the bumps of the road beneath us. It felt like this day was never gonna end...
"Jesus...Cass" My sister sighed, pulling me into a hug. "You had me worried sick"
I stayed silent, taking the clip board from her. All I had to do was sign the bottom and that would be it. I would be officially considered crazy.
"I'm okay, Fi" I muttered even though we both knew that wasn't the truth.
I stared at the pen in my hand before scribbling my name on the paper. Fuck...this was about to happen.
"Ms. Gallagher?" A lady called, walking out of the door.
I could feel Mickey's eyes on me and I wanted nothing more than to hug him, be in his arms. But for all I knew he hated my guts.
"I'm sorry" Was all I managed to whisper before he wrapped his arms around me again, and this time I didn't hesitate to copy him.
I let the tears fall from my eyes as I could here him muffle his sniffles into my neck. Shit, I don't think I had ever seen im cry.
I didn't want to pull away but in the end, did I really have a choice?
I gave a finally goodbye look to each of my siblings before walking through the door, the gate locking behind us.
A/N oop- okay so in reality this chapter was lowkey just an excuse for me to bring back my boy Tony lmaoooo, anyways enjoy xx
Alsoooo i've had a lot of people request Cassie to get pregnant and I need yall's opinions on that!!!! Like I could not do that until later in the story (if at all) or I could have her get pregnant instead of Fiona (around the same time as Debs) and keep it! Idk let me know hehe
