Chapter 31- "Tell me its not what it looks like"
Weeks have passed since the doctor told us about Casey. He's now at home with a wheelchair. His dad and Evan worked on making his bedroom downstairs while my dad worked on making ramps on the front and back porch and also some in the living room.
I made Caseys favourite cookies last night and I plan to bring them over later.
He's home alone right now but I'll be over in 10 minutes.
Holly and Seth are babysitting Liv and Evan took Meg to the cinema with Maya.
I run in for a quick shower and once I'm finished I change into grey sweats and one of Caseys football jerseys.
I slip a hair band onto my hair to hold it back and then after I put my shoes on, I make my way to his house with the tray of chocolate chip cookies.
As I walk to the bottom of his garden, the door opens and Amber walks out making my heart drop.
Neither of them have noticed me yet and I see Amber bend down and give Casey a hug and a kiss on the cheek while Casey smiles in response.
As Amber sashays away, she notices me and smirk.
"Hey Em. They smell delicious." She says walking past me continuing smirking.
When she steps out of Caseys view, his face that was once wearing a smile is now dropped and wearing a frown.
I scoff a bit and shrug my shoulder.
"Emily I-" he begins but I cut him off.
"Tell me it's not what it looks like." I choke out.
He opens his mouth to speak and then closes it.
I sigh and look up to the sky.
"That's what I thought. Goodbye Casey." I say and run back into my garden and into my house.
I fall to the ground with tears escaping my eyes.
"What happened Em?" Holly asks coming out of the living room.
"Amber freaking Banks happened." I say standing up and running up the stairs.
I look across my window and see Caseys empty room full of boxes and gym equipment.
Everything changed alright but not for the best.

Another few weeks have passed and Casey is in school now with Seth helping him in his wheelchair.
I see Amber trying to talk to him but he shrugs her off all the time but I still haven't talked to him since that day even though he's tried several times.
We had algebra next. We only have 2 weeks left of actual class and lessons and all the weeks after are just senior traditions like senior camp, senior prom and senior lock in then graduation but the last 3 days is finals week! Yay.
I couldn't wait for this stuff since I was a sophomore but Casey and stupid Amber ruined everything for me.
I sit in my seat and soon enough, Casey rolls in and takes he table beside me.
"Emily, please talk to me. Nothing happened, I swear. I know it looked very misleading but she just came to make sure I was okay."
"But I don't know what happened when the doors were closed. Because Casey, Amber and you have lets call it, sexual history, and I wouldn't put it pass Amber to do something like this so excuse me for believing what I've been witnessing since we were freshman."
"Please forgive me Emily."
"Do you have the weather app on your phone?" I ask and he looks at me confused.
"Yeah."
"Then call me when hell freezes because then maybe just maybe I'll forgive you. But I wouldn't hold your breath."
I turn away and begin talking to Holly then the teacher walks in.
********
"I'm home!" I yell when I enter my house.
My mom knows what happened with Casey and me and even his own mother is ignoring him because of it.
I walk into the kitchen and grab an apple from the fruit bowl.
"Honey, can we talk to you please?" My mom walks in with my dad beside her.
"Sure." I draw out in confusion.
"Well you know the way I've been going to a lot of dinners with my boss?" I nod.
"There's a promotion going that he wants me to apply for and I got it." She smiles and my dad smiles too.
"Wow mom that's incredible. Congrats."
"Thank you Emily. But the problem is, if I accept the promotion, we have to move to London."
My mouth drops and drop my apple while tears blur my vision.
"London? As in England London or Canada London?" I question.
"England." My dad explains.
"Mom my life is here. Julliard is here. Casey is here." I say.
"Yeah but you and Casey have broken up anyway so that's one obstacle out of the way."
"Mom! What if I get accepted to Julliard? I can stay in the dorms. I don't have to go." I assure.
"We've looked up universities in London and they have great options." My dad tells me.
"They have Kingston College and Bexley which are highly recommended. Please support this Em. Liv can't wait to go." My mom begs.
"Liv doesn't know what's happening! She's 7. She thinks it's a holiday mom. Once she hears she'll never see Megan again she'll freak. I get you wanted this promotion and I'm happy you got it, but I just can't go to England. It's too far. I'm sorry but it's impossible."
I run up the stairs and close the door to my room after throwing myself on the beg and allowing the tears to fall down my cheeks.
This was supposed to be perfect! My last few weeks in high school with my best friends and boyfriend but now Casey is told he'll never walk again and my family are moving London. Things couldn't get worse!

So sorry for the delay guys! I haven't had time for any wattpad over the past couple of days. First it was my goddaughters christening and then I was babysitting for 3 days and then it was prom shoes shopping! I'm only relaxing now and it's 8:20pm anyway!
Big problem guys!
I have a really good story to this but I don't know what I'll do in the mean time cause I can't just jump into it.
So if the chapters are pretty crap please co-operate and wait until the bug chapter comes. Thank you so much!
