"Is that what you've really thought about me all those years?" Cassie asked, silent tears streaking down her cheeks after Izzie had said her piece. "You never said a word!" Cassie's chin quivered as the oh so expensive book fell from nerveless fingers. "I never asked you to stay away from anyone. How many times did I try to set you up with anyone you showed an interest in. You never let me help you! Hell! You think high school was easy for me? Beauty school wasn't any better but you never bothered to pay attention! You're no different then the rest of them, damn you. No different!"<br/><br/>Cassie took a step back, foot knocking against the paper wrapped parcel that contained the book she'd just spent all of her savings on as she did so. "You talk like I never did anything around here. Like I lived off you, but we both know that's not true, I gave you my share! But you want me out, fine! I don't want to know you anymore." With that, Cassie ran out of the apartment, slamming the door behind her. She didn't know where she would end up, she just knew that she had to be far away from here. Far away from Izzie. She didn't want to ever speak to her again, not when all these years the woman who was supposed to be her best friend had thought she was a whore just like everyone else who'd never bothered to get to know her. Maybe Izzie never had either.
