Promise by H B (important books to read txt) 📖

Prologue

Bones breaking, blood gushing out from the wounds that I inflicted only seconds ago.

"Say that again punk"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... it will never happen again."

"It better be, next time I hear you do that your dead."

 

"Comon mate, give the poor guy a break, he already promised, no need to scare him to death."

"Shut up stupid slave..."

"I'm not your slave"

"Whatever. Well he's a real whimp, look he fainted, and anyways its better to scare him now than have another incident like this..."

"Okay. Shouldn't we put him somewhere safe? Your not that cold blooded are you Cassie?"

"Probably... put him on that bench will you Chase, the stench of this blood is killing me."

------------------------

"Cassie?"

Shit, that voice.... "Chase make a dash for it" I silently yelled.

Why of all times did Robert have to be here, hadn't I promised to stay away from fighting. I know that he recognized me, even though he could not see my face, and I am sure I'm going to hear an earful of lectures coming from him on how I broke our promise.

Up

*Cassandra's POV*

 

*Sleeping with Sirens: Alone* started blasting in my ears, "great, morning" 

 

I sat up groggily and shut up my phone. 4 in the morning is not my ideal time of waking up, but if i want to maintain how i look i just have to live with it.

 

I walked out of my dark room and head down the hall opening my brothers door and shaking him.

 

"wake up squirt...WAKE UP"

 

GOD hes a heavy sleeper

 

"5 more minutes"

 

"you better be up by the time i get back chase"

 

"mhmmmm"

 

how can that guy sleep so deeply...urgh i gotta get ready. I

 

start brushing my teeth, and walk out attempting to fix my bed.

 

eventually i gave up so i just walked back into the bathroom to finish up.

 

finally refreshed, i walked back into my brothers room... still sleeping

 

"Chase...wake up dude"

 

"5 more minutes"

 

"NO, now dimwit" i said plopping myself on his chest

 

a loud grunt mixed in with shock was followed by a ton of cussing

 

"get over it chasey, i told you to be up when i get back"

 

"im up already, now get off, i dont like the feeling of your ass on my wonderfully sculpted abs"

 

"shut the hell up, at least i have an ass, now get ready so we can run, be quick"

 

walking out i could hear grumbling which made me giggle... Chase and i are not morning people, I guess you can say we are nocturnal.

 

Flipping through my clothes, i find some athletic shorts and sports bra and tank, slip them on then head downstairs

 

*grroowwllll*

 

better get some breakfast while im at it... maybe a shake will suffice for now.

 

I take two protien shakes out and put them on the counter, i grab both mine and chase's shoes and set them near the stools... opening one of the bottles i take a sip and bend over to get the shoes on.

 

"I thought we were going for a run, not yoga"

 

"haha, funny" i said dryly "hurry up, theres a shake on the counter for you and your shoes are right by the stool"

 

finished with my shoes i turn back to the counter to drink and finish it

 

"you done chase?"

 

"yeah"

 

"'kay, lets go"

 

As we head out, its dark and cold. 

 

"Okay. 5 miles in less than 1 hour..."

 

"Sure"

 

This is the start of our mornings, together in silence as we run.

 

 

Oh God

*Chase's POV*

God when did Cass get so fast? Ever since we were younger she was slow, what happened, I mean yesterday I was faster than her... I didnt go easy on her either.

 

"Chaaasseee hurry up" Cass yelled.

 

Shes about 50 feet in front of me, i should seriously pick up my pace... why do i feel so slow?

 

"Yeah, yeah, how come your faster today? yesterday you were as slow as a slug."

 

"This is not even my fastest bro, you should see my time in track"

 

"3 million years?" a sly smirk on my face

 

Imitating my smirk, Cass stopped "you might wanna cover your mouth 'cuz your gonna flip out, its around 2 minutes for a mile"

 

"HOLY SHIT CASS" 

 

"CHASE YOUR FUCKEN VOICE" she whisper screamed at me

 

Okay we're twins and everything and we knew everything about each other but why did i seem to not know this? "since when were you so fast?"

 

"ever since i started track dummy" she said with a laugh "you've always been at the races but your always sucking some girls face" sticking out her tounge.

 

"hey those chicks come running to me, you know im a natural chick magnet"

 

"Mhmm sure...Hey, whos that at our door?" We slowed down to a jog and sure enough we could see a stillouette of a person at our door.

 

"GUYS, where have you been?! I've been waiting here for about 40 minutes trying to call you guys but your phones were up in your room!"

 

"Oh my god, mom we go running every day, are you okay did anything happen?" Cass now scanning her face to see if anything was wrong.

 

"No, no... its just i got an emergency call and i had to leave so i was going to say good bye but you were gone" she turned to us, her look of worry changed to relief.

 

"are you going to be late? do you want me to drop you off?" 

 

"it's okay, i have to leave in 10 minutes and John is going to pick me up, dont worry chase john is just a friend"

 

"whatever, i dont like him, not after disrespecting you, if he tries to do anything again tell me and..." I didnt finish because of the dam prick calling out to our mom.

 

"okay guys, im going... and dont worry if he does do anything" turning to cass and winking "lets just say it wont be pretty" she left with a chuckle and hugs from both of us.

 

"what was that about" i asked feeling sorry and scared for john, see whenever our mom winks at cass like that it means cass taught her something outrageous again.

 

"ohh, nothing just a little pleasure" winking at me then running up the stairs, probably to shower and get ready for school.

 

dear god what ever cass taught, it was not pleasure more precise tourture or worse.

 

Then again that guy really got it from her last time so i doubt he would try anything again.

 

Oh well, I need a shower.

 

Heading up the stairs i can hear cass's music on full blast, cass is a music addict, and thats all my doing introducing her to the ledgend and beauty of rock.

 

turning on my own music i hopped into the shower reliving my muscles and body with the hot water.

 

 

*sorry guys i think this will be the first and the last of Chase's POV...*

Cassandra

My name is Cassandra by the way. Cass for short.

 

I'm 5'6", average looks. I have platinum lilac hair (its dyed) that's cut scene style.

 

I just find that style to suit me better than those long no layered hair... My regular hair is sandy brown and it is kinda wavy.

 

I have a six pack from all my training in martial arts and workouts.

 

I'm not muscular, I like to say that i am evenly toned. Sounds pretty exotic.

 

My favorite color is black, and my favorite band is Bring Me the Horizon, Mice of Men, sorry I've probably bored you already right?

 

My twin brother Chase, i like to call him chasey just to irk him, introduced me to rock, and thank GOD for that.

 

I'm a total music nerd, I play the guitar, piano, violin, harp, drums, bass, and I have if i can say myself, a pretty decent singing voice.

 

I think the one thing I am most confident in myself would be my speed and my strength.

 

As I think i mentioned earlier both me and Chase have been training in every single type of martial arts ever since we were kids.

 

We both have black belts is everything, but I am the only one who continues to train.

 

Chase is one of your average jocks, well built, a to die for body, cocky and confident attitude, and looks that can turn any girl on with just a simple look.

 

Yes, hes that much of a player, but hey I love him.

 

Our mom, Miranda, Mira for short, has raised us singlehandedly for most of our lives.

 

We both inherited our looks from her, but she says I inherited my dads attitude, except I never do anything half assed.

 

Our dad died of brain cancer when we were 3 years old, so we do not remember a lot about him. 

 

We are a very close family that does not have any secrets.

 

Everything we do is shared with each other, even the embarassing things.

 

Understanding

After saying bye to our mom, i ran upstairs to shower and get ready for school.

 

The way Chase looked at me and my mom, then at John
