The normally happy blonde was in one word devastated by the betrayal of not only Elizabeth but her own father. How could he not believe her over a woman who only recently came back in to his life? She hated feeling like she was a liar when in truth she was positive of what she had seen before her own eyes. She was slowly realizing that she had no one in her corner. Sure,Leo, believed her but their relationship had always been a rocky one at best. Her own mother wouldn’t even bat an eye at the situation before her, she had tried to call her not long after the talk with her father and of course those calls went unanswered by Cassie, herself. When she was around people she put on that smile to not show how deep her wounds were stirring but when she was alone with the memories of Elizabeth and Robert going at it like two teenagers daring to be caught she’d curl up in a ball and cry. She began to wonder if she was the reason her father was so unlucky in love. She had seen the pictures of her parents before she came along they looked so happy and in love. Those happy faces soon faded after Joey was in the picture it seemed and now it was repeating. Every time she thought she was done crying the sight would start playing again like a video stuck on a loop and a new wave of tears would flow down her cheeks. Even those who knew the girl well didn’t actually know how deep her abandonment issues ran and most never would unless they bothered to question her on her slowly unraveling appearance.

Clu had no time to rest when he arrived home thanks to Carson picking him up and they had decided that her and Clarke would pick up his car later on. “Where were you? And where’s the Tate girl?” Larkin’s voice boomed as soon as Clu’s foot stepped in the doorway of their house. Which made the teen flinch causing his body to burn due to the multiple bruises. “I—I don—don’t know.” This reply would anger Larkin more and make him march the teen down to the basement. “You do know and you clearly disobeyed me again, Clu Davies.” The phone ringing interrupted Larkin it was Carey and now their father knew where the teen was at. “So you ran to Carey. Poor baby got a concussion and ran to his brother. You must really like Kendall considering you broke the rules.” Clu chewed on his lip. “Daddy—“ he started but his head was already pounding and he knew he didn’t have any fight in him. “I’m sorry.” Larkin pushed the teen down on the table strapping him down harshly and Clu winced as they tighten against his bruises. “Not yet but you will be.” Larkin said as he grabbed a needle and pushed it into his sons vein. Clu was out for multiple days things constantly happening to him that he wouldn’t know until his father allowed him to wake up. Bruises on top of bruises, fresh cuts all over his body and when he was allowed to sit up he got sick. Most of it was his usual now and one of the first thoughts was if Kendall was ok. “Think that girl will like you now, Clu Davies?” Larkin asked looking at his son before grabbing his arm and twisting it until he heard it pop. “Don’t you dare run to Carey or her.” He said letting Clu leave the basement using his elbow to hold his arm until he collapsed on the floor.
