BXBX NOVEL Chapter 78 I Forgot
After looking at Cassie Jack looked at the sofa again to see the old man, however after his gaze landed on the sofa his heart skipped a beat.
The old man was not there anymore, only his laughter lightly reverberated in Jack\'s ears and even that got quiet after a few moments.
Jack when saw him disappear in thin air was flabbergasted, he never knew that the old man have powers like this.
To disappear from plane sight was something supernatural and suddenly Jack realized that he can have that power too.
"Jack, why didn\'t you wake me up!" Cassie came in front of him with an annoyed expression on her face.
Her one hand was on her waist and with her other hand she was pointing at Jack.
"I have always helped you wake up and the one day I am late, you didn\'t help me!" She said and sat down in front of Jack, where the old man was just sitting.
Jack, who was still disoriented by the sudden disappearance of the old man, broke out of his stupor by Cassie\'s constant objections.
He looked at her and smiled, he was relieved that she hasn\'t seen him talking to the mysterious old man as it would have been hard explaining it to her.
And also, he knew that Ero Meter was more mysterious than he has thought and he wanted to keep it a secrete as it would not only put him in trouble.
But would also endanger Cassie and others and Jack didn\'t want that to happen.
Jack smiled at her and stood up from the sofa. "I forgot that we were going to college today." He lied and moved towards the kitchen.
He said this to calm her down as he didn\'t want her to be annoyed the whole day, he knew that Cassie was someone who would take her revenge no matter what.
Although her revenge was on a small scale, they could still be annoying sometimes.
Soon enough he took out a chilled water bottle to cool his racing mind down, he didn\'t wanna Cassie to realize that he was in shock.
As she would ask too many questions.
"Are you ignoring me?"
Cassie also came towards the Kitchen and looked at Jack.
"No, get ready or we are gonna be late for the Classes."
"No, answer me first, why didn\'t you wake me up?" Cassie moved in front of him.
"I told you that I forgot," Jack said again and took another sip of water.
"Why are you two fighting so early in the morning?" Suddenly a mature and raspy voice resounded from the kitchen entrance.
There, Nicole was standing in a night robe, her hair disheveled from the sleep.
She has just woken up and saw that Jack has already left the room, to find him she moved toward the living area and there, she heard both of them fighting.
She looked at Cassie and then at Jack, she wanted to know the reason behind their fight as she was the one that could solve the matter between them.
Cassie looked at Nicole and moved toward her with fast steps.
She told her how Jack didn\'t wake her up.
Nicole smiled at her and placed a hand on her head, by now Cassie was like a little sister to her although when they met at first they were a bit hostile.
However now that she had spent time with Cassie she came to know that she was a sweet and considerate girl.
Jack looked at Nicole and shrugged his shoulders, it indicated that he wanted her to solve this matter.
Nicole saw Jack and understood what he wanted from her, a smile formed on her face because of their cute fights.
She felt like a mother that was trying to solve a fight between two of her kids.
She then looked at Cassie and placed a hand on her head.
"You know that he is stupid right? How is he supposed to remember the classes?" Nicole said.
Cassie looked at her and narrowed her eyes, an even more annoyed expression appeared on her face for a few seconds.
\'Even she is taking his side.\' She thought.
However soon enough she calmed down as she didn\'t wanna disrespect Nicole, she could fight with Jack as much as she wants as she knew him since childhood.
However Nicole on the other hand was someone she got to know just a few days ago and although she could tell that she was not a bad person however, she was not so open with her.
And also she could tell that Nicole considered her as a junior sister and cared for her.
That was the reason why she was respectful of her, she didn\'t wanna hurt her feelings.
"Ok, only if you\'re telling so." She said and nodded and then looked at Jack.
"What are you waiting for? Get ready we need to go to college."
Jack listened to her words and sighed, Cassie didn\'t know about yesterday\'s events and he has to go to the police station today to file an official complaint.
Also, he has promised Sophie that he would meet her today and he knew that she must be worried about him.
"I can\'t come to college today, I have some stuff to do." He said.
"You will fail your semester like this," Cassie took a step forwards.
From today onwards special classes were starting that were very important for the upcoming midterms.
Cassie didn\'t want Jack to fail as it would only waste his previous years and money spent on college.
"Don\'t worry about him, you should get ready, come on, I will talk to him." Suddenly Nicole came forwards and looked at Cassie. "Let\'s go I will drop you off at the college." She said again.
Cassie turned her head and looked at Nicole.
"Why?" Cassie asked.
Nicole on the other hand took a glance at Jack and then looked at Cassie again.
Before she could speak, Jack sighed and opened his mouth.
"Someone destroyed my car and I am going to the police station to file a complaint." He said.
He didn\'t wanna keep Cassie in the dark, she was his love, and telling her the important matters was necessary for their relationship to continue.
Cassie listened to him and widened her eyes in surprise.
"Destroyed? Who?" She looked at him and moved towards him with worry visible in her eyes.
Jack kept silent for a few seconds and then smiled. "It\'s not a big deal, I have to go now, Nicole can tell you the rest." He said.
Cassie took in a deep breath and moved even closer.
"What do you mean it\'s not a big deal? You should have told me earlier." She said and hugged him.
Jack could feel her raised heartbeat from her grip and he could also sense worry.
"Please, stay safe, I can\'t afford to lose you." She moved her head up and looked him in the eyes, tears almost dripping from hers.
Although she knew that Jack was a reliable guy and would never get himself in trouble, however, she was still worried as she didn\'t want something bad to happen to him.
She was in love with him and just the news of his car getting Vandalised by someone sent a pang of pain through her chest.
Nicole saw both of them and also sighed, she could feel the love between them, and somewhat jealous of it.
"Don\'t worry, go now, or you will be late." He said and then looked at Nicole.
"Please buy new cars for you and Cassie." He said.
When Nicole broke up with Samson she left her car to him and now that Jack\'s car was destroyed they didn\'t have any car left.
Jack has already given her ten million dollars and she had a lot of money left even after renting this house.
Nicole nodded at his words and placed a hand on Cassie\'s shoulder.
"Let\'s go." She said in a low tone.
Cassie when felt the gentle pull on her shoulder finally left Jack\'s body and looked at him while wiping her tears.
"We will talk about it later." She said in an annoyed tone, she was angry at him that he didn\'t tell her about such an important matter earlier.
However, she was somewhat relieved that he told her the truth and didn\'t hide it from her.
The last thing she wants is that him to get in trouble and she didn\'t have any idea of what was happening to him.
"Don\'t worry about me." He said and kissed her on the lips.
It was to calm her down a little.
"Hmph!" Cassie snorted and moved away from him.
"I will see you tonight." She said and moved towards Nicole.
Soon enough both Nicole and Cassie took a Uber and left the house.
After they were gone Jack took out his phone and saw the video that the cameras of his Tesla caught.
He could only see a man with a hood and black mask vandalizing his car.
Sighing he moved out of the house and went toward the police station.
