A.1. This Can't Be Happening... Ch. 21

jon's POV
 
the security guard pushed on her chest and ryan plugged her nose and breathed into her mouth.
this was repeated 4 times
she opened her eyes and coughed
the fan girls were all quieted and sent out of the pool area
cassie started to cry and wrapped her arms around ryan in a tight embrace
ryan was still shaking. he was so terrified
cassie buried her head in his shoulder
"i thought i'd never see you again"-ryan confessed and held her closer
i was silent still
"hey jon, you okay?"-spencer asked
"yea, i'm just fine"
the security guards helped us up to our room.. stupid fan girls
 
"oh crap, the pizza's probably gone by now"-spencer wanted to life people's spirits with humor. we all laughed. katie's and bren's appetites were well known. 
 
"shoot my purse is by the pool"-cassie jumped out of the elevator.
"i'll get it"-i held the door for her
"its okay jon, i know where it is"
"cass i don't want you to go there alone, have jon go with you"-ryan said
cassie looked back at him.
"hurry before one of the fan girls steals it"-he said
 
once we got to the lobby i had just realized something.
"frick. they're gonna attack either you or me. or both. again"
"disguise yourself"-cassie grabbed a coat from the chair behind the concierge's desk
"now what? they can still see my face"-i pointed out to her
"quick turn around someone is coming"-she said, and turned me so i faced the wall
"do you think they'll recognize you?"-i asked her, she cringed
"i hope not"
 
as we walked into the pool area i stood on the other side of her to block her from other's view
 
"hey, do i know you from somewhere?"-a girl in a strapless bikini walked up to me, i didn't look at her, my head was faced the other direction
"uh. nope"-i said in a deep voice "help me"-i mouthed to cassie
we were just about to walk through the door. we were so close
"are you sure?"-she tried to step in front of me and i turned the other way
"not unless you've been to uh... um. Minanic Pennsylvania"-i stumbled, cassie couldn't help but smile at that.
 
the girl's friend walked up next to her. "who's your friend?" she asked her
"i don't know, i thought it was someone else"-she said
"his hair looks a lot like jon's from Panic"-her friend confirmed
"ya, that's what i thought, but they're probably long gone by now"-she said
"but she's familiar"-they finally realized cassie was standing only 4 feet from them
"aren't you friends with Ryan?"-they asked in unison
"um. no. uh, never heard of him"-she also stumbled, they rolled their eyes.
"never heard of Ryan Ross? didn't he just perform CPR on you not 2 hours ago?"
"so, this might be who we think it is,"-the friend said.
"don't scream may, they'll all come running"-the girl said.
 
cassie's POV
 
i could feel my heart in my throat. they caught us! i had to quick think of something
 
"i seriously have no idea what you guys are talking about"-jon said, with his back turned toward them. he was using a funny deep voice.
they tried to step in front of him again.
i grabbed jon's hand and started to walk out the door. we don't want a scene. the girls followed us. still trying to see if it was jon.
 
jon's POV
 
i only had one idea. i wonder if she'll hate me. or..
 
cassie's POV
 
we made it to the concierge's desk, and ducked behind the counter. he returned the jacket to the chair which we had taken it from. 
"cassie, i have one idea"-jon whispered
"ya?"
i was so terrified for the girls to find us. i almost... i don't want to go through with that again. ever. that's one near-death experience i would not like to have again.
 
"they went over here!"-may, or i think that's what her name was, yelled. she was so close to the desk i could have pulled her hair. which was a very strong urge i had to overcome.
 
"cass, just go along with it"-jon whispered to me. he grabbed my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
 
may walked over to the front door and stepped outside. if only it was for a bit longer. jon and i took off
we only made it half way across the floor to the elevator when she stepped back in. she only saw us. not jon's face. thank God.
 
jon grabbed me by the waist and i looked up...
