I Want To Run Away With The Love Of My Life
Episode one
The Damien family was arguing
Cassie
But, Dad, I love him!
Casey
I don't care! You are staying in the house, Cassie!
Stefanie
Honey, I don't think-
Casey
Shut up, woman! This does not require your input at all.
Casey
Cassie, you are my little princess, and you will obey my rules.
Casey
Save it. I do not want you talking about this again.
Stefanie
I'm sorry, sweetie..
Cassie makes her way to her room
Stefanie
Casey, honey, I think you were too harsh..
Casey
Too harsh? Hah! That was tough love. She knows better than to come here and tell me about the man of her pathetic dreams.
Stefanie
I still think that was a little mean, if you could just listen-
Casey
I think I've heard enough for today, Stefanie.
Casey
I don't want to hear it.
Casey leaves the room as the thunder rumbled loudly, the lightning flickered for a spilt second, lighting up the dim room for a moment.
Stefanie
Why did it have to be like this?..
Cassie
Xavier, sweetie! Hi!
Xavier
How are you, my sweet?
Cassie
Better now that I'm with you.
Cassie
I try. How are you?
Xavier
Oh, I'm better now that I'm with you.
Cassie blushes and pulls away, holding his hand in the process.
Cassie
Shall we go take a walk now?
Xavier
That would be most delightful.
Cassie giggles and the two walk hand-in-hand as they stroll through the city.
Ten minutes later, Xavier's phone rings.
Xavier
Sorry, I need to take this.
Xavier releases Cassie's hand and makes sure to get out of hearing distance.
Xavier
Hey, baby girl. How are you?
Leilani
I'm great, love. I just miss you.
Xavier
Aw, I miss you too. Say, why don't I come over tonight?
Leilani
That would be great!
Xavier
How does eight sound to you?
Leilani
It sounds perfect.
Xavier
Great, I'll see you then.
Leilani
Oh, can't wait to see you! Bye, I love you.
Xavier
I love you too, Leilani. See you soon, bye.
He ends the phone call and places the device in his back pocket. After that, he walks back over to Cassie and takes her hand.
Cassie
What was the call about?
Xavier
Work. My boss wants me to work the night shift.
Cassie
Aw, again? We had plans for tonight!
Xavier
I'm so sorry, my sweet. I promise I'll make it up to you, okay?
Xavier
Let's make the most of this free time, all right? I want to spend every second with you!
Episode two
Casey
Look, Stefanie. I don't want to talk about it.
Stefanie
But, Casey, darling, you need to talk to her about this! It's only right!
Casey
I said I don't want to talk about!
Casey snapped. He took a deep breath to surpress his already growing frustration.
Stefanie holds Casey's face between her palms.
Stefanie
I understand that you're feeling a little frustrated with Cassie, but you'll need to open up about it at some point. You can't keep avoiding it by treating her that way..
Casey's eyes soften for a moment before they narrow.
Casey
I told you, it's tough love!
Stefanie
You know very well that it isn't.
Casey's eyes widen, but they take on a more calm approach as he sees the seriousness in his wife's eyes.
Stefanie
You need to tell our daughter about this, before she goes and shuts us out..
Casey
I… I'm just not ready for that yet…
Casey tries to avoid Stefanie's eyes, but she holds his face in place.
Stefanie
And I'll wait until you are. Just know I'm on your side, okay? I just don't agree with how you're handling the situation.
Casey smiles and his frustration fades away.
Casey
How in the world did I end up with you?
Leilani and Xavier are sitting on the couch, watching a movie after doing some promiscuous activities.
Caroline enters the room.
Caroline
Ugh, seriously? You again?
Caroline rolls her eyes and grabs Leilani's wrist. She drags her to the kitchen, away from Xavier.
Caroline
Leilani, what did I tell you about bringing that scum to our house?
Leilani
What do you mean? Xavier isn't a scum! He loves me.
Caroline
If he loves you then why does he always come here to do 'activities' with you instead of what a couple should normally be doing?
Leilani
In my opinion, I think he's just being thoughtful.
Caroline
Being thoughtful how?! He's using you for your body, Leilani!
Leilani
And why do you care, Caroline?!
Caroline
I care because I'm your older sister! It's my priority to make sure you don't get hurt!
Leilani
Well, I never asked you to make sure if I get hurt or not! I can handle myself!
Caroline
Fine, take care of yourself then. Just don't come crying to me when you realize that I was right.
Caroline storms out the kitchen, a wave of frustration consuming her.
She makes her way to her bedroom, but she stops in her tracks, hiding behind a wall as she overhears Xavier on a call.
Xavier
Yeah, man. She was so loud. I can't believe she let me do that. Well, I mean, we have been doing it a couple of times ever since we started dating.
Dimitri
Erm, should you really be telling me this, bro? Activities like that should normally be kept between you two, you shouldn't boast about it.
Xavier
Yeah, whatever! I'm just glad I bagged a girl with such a hot body! She's so oblivious!
Xavier
I'm so glad I have that Leilani girl, Cassie won't let me do anything with her! I can relieve myself as much as I want with Leilani. She's just a toy for me.
Dimitri
That's pretty mean, don't you think? That girl could really love you.
Xavier
I can pretend to love her back, Dimitri! She's really just a way for me to get my stress out.
Xavier
Oh, I think I hear her coming this way! Gotta go.
Xavier ended the call as he sat there on the couch. Leilani joined him afterward with a smile.
Xavier
So, what were you two talking about?
Leilani
Oh, don't worry about it! It was just some girly things.
Xavier kissed Leilani on the lips.
Caroline quietly made her way upstairs to her room in a fit of rage.
Caroline
Oh, I will make that bastard pay!
Episode three
At Leilani and Caroline's house.
Caroline was pacing in her bedroom.
Caroline
I can't believe what I heard yesterday. I knew he was using her!
Caroline sighs in frustration.
Caroline
I should've recorded him! But wait- he has another girlfriend! Her name was... Cassie!
Caroline
That name sounds pretty familiar..
Caroline walks around her the area, looking for someone.
In Casey Damien's office.
Casey
You need to work more efficiently, Cassie! Just because you're my daughter does not mean you'll get any special treatment in this work place! You are just like any lowlife who works for me!
Cassie
Yeah, Dad. Understood...
Casey
Now, get back to work.
Cassie leaves with a sad nod.
Caroline spots her leaving the office.
She approaches her with a smirk.
Caroline
Oh, again? Hah! The boss must really hate you!
Cassie
Leave me alone, Miss Jovian.
Caroline
Oh, but how can I? The boss wants you in his office almost daily. You must be an awful employee!
Cassie
At least I'm not as awful as your attitude.
Cassie walks off with a smile.
Caroline
Oh, I hate that girl so much!
Caroline knocks on Mr. Damien's office door and enters after hearing a gruff "Come in."
Caroline
It's about Xavier, sir. I think your suspicions about him were right.
At the park on the bench.
Cassie
Ugh, Jordan, I don't know what to do. Work is awful cause, you know, I'm working for my dad and that co-worker always picks on me!
Jordan
Again with her? Why can't she just mind her own business? If I were you, I would've shut her mouth!
Cassie
I know exactly how you feel! And guess what?
Cassie
She called me a horrible employee because, somehow, she ALWAYS finds me whenever I leave my dad's office!
Jordan
UGH! I bet she's like some kind of witch. How in the world does she always find you the minute you leave your father's office?!
Cassie
That's what I'm saying, girl! She must be a witch because I don't know how!
Jordan laughs softly before looking at Cassie with a serious expression.
Jordan
Look, Cassie, that little coworker is just as bad as she sounds. Don't let her ruin your days whenever or ever.
Cassie
She always picks on me, though! What can I even do, Jordan?
Cassie
You think that's easy?! What if she just bugs me even more?
Jordan
She won't. It might take a little time, but when you ignore a bully, they tend to lose interest in bothering you.
Cassie
Is that really true?
Jordan
Yes, Cassie, it is. It's not like I searched it up.
Cassie
Fine, okay! Thank you.
Jordan
You're welcome, and remember that you can always-
Cassie
Talk to you about anything and everything always?
Cassie
You're my best friend, my knowledge fuels you!
Jordan
And you're my best friend, my love-life drives you!
They both laugh as they smile.
Cassie
Remember that guy you saw at the café?
Jordan
Oh, yes, I do! Let's go check if he's there right now!
Jordan gets off the bench and grabs Cassie's hand.
Cassie
How did I end up with you?
Caroline
Good, that little bastard isn't here today.
Leilani
He's not a bastard! You're just jealous!
Caroline
Of an ugly sprout like him? I don't know what you see in him, Leilani, he's just using you!
Leilani
Why do you think he's using me?!
Leilani
Ugh! Why can't you just be happy for me like a normal sister would?! I hate you!
Leilani storms out the room in anger.
Caroline
If she knew the information that I knew, not only will I be right, but I'll be able to make that brute pay!
Caroline makes her way to her room.
Caroline
If only I could find Mr. Damien's daughter.. all this would be much easier.
