I wrote an argument between Cassie and Edmund for my first story and it's very good. This is a fast forward into the future of CADMUND. The year is 2008. LW is Cassie and DAM is Edmund.
Cassie went over to Towers to see if Edmund Winslow was there and the clerk at the front desk said yes and that he was in room 630. After that Cassie heads upstairs in search of that room. "No I'm ready, I'm ready. I can't." "No wait yes I can because I have to be brave. I can do this." "No wait I can't. I can't face Edmund." Talking to herself about what to do she finally went to the door.
Feeling uncomfortable and not ready to face Edmund, she stayed outside the door not moving. While inside the room, Edmund's laying on his bed looking aimlessly at the ceiling contemplating in his memories of his and Cassie's relationship and all that they went through. Still in his thoughts, Edmund kept seeing her face and her smile and how he could never forget what a beautiful woman that she was and how he could never get enough of her. Obliviously he was talking out loud to himself and said "I wish I could see you again and hope that we can forgive and forget everything that we went through"
Meanwhile, Cassie overheard Edmund say that and in her heart she knew that she couldn't hold onto what she was feeling and knocked on the door. Edmund had on his plaid white shirt and obliviously he had been crying. His hair was longer and he had a beard. The shirt was ripped and dirty. Edmund looked like he had been through hell and back. When he opened the door he was not ready to find out what Cassie was willing to talk to him about. Cassie was standing there wearing a blue summer printed dress. While looking at her Edmund was blinded by her beauty. She was waiting for him to invite her in but all he could do was stare and as she made eye contact with Edmund she pushed her way into the room. Edmund turned around and kept looking straight at her not noticing that Cassie was calling his name.
"Edmund?"
"What?"
"Can I talk to you?"
"Yeah sure. You do want to sit down?"
"Yeah, thanks" Cassie situated herself on the bed away from Edmund as he was sitting down in one of the chairs facing the bed. "So how are you doing Edmund?"
"I'm fine. How are you?"
"Good, good. I have been good."
"Okay, well that's good to know. How's RJ and Tammy?"
"Oh, well Tammy is great. She's doing well in College. And RJ is doing well in middle school. This past year RJ had a part in the school's play of "The Christmas Carol" as the lead."
"Wow. That's great for the both of them."
"Yeah it is. It is. I am so proud of them both"
"I am proud too. If that's even allowed for me to say"
"Sure. Your allowed. You can be proud of Tammy and RJ"
"So how is Reva and Josh doing?"
"Their great. Um, Marah is back from Paris and she's living at the Reva's permanently while Jonathon is still living there too."
"Oh she's back. Good. I haven't seen her in years."
"Yeah, it's good to have her back"
"How has Jonathon handled Marah at the house?"
"Oh well he thinks it's good to have one of his siblings there and he is getting along fine with everyone but his attitude is the same."
"Well Jonathon will be Jonathon"
"Yeah you can say that again"Cassie said uncomfortably.
"Cassie can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah sure. Ask away"
"Do you feel uncomfortable being in the same room with me right now?"
"What would make you say that?"
"Because I got a feeling when you said yes you can say that again about Jonathon that you felt uneasy to say it to me. Come on you can tell me."
"I just feel uncomfortable to be in the same room with you because of what happened between us and Jeffrey"
"Oh so this is about feeling uncomfortable because of Jeffrey"
"No. It's about what happened between us and Jeffrey"
"You miss him don't you?"
"Hey don't turn this around and start saying things like that"
"Sorry. Sorry."
"Okay."
"So, what are you really here for?"
"Edmund I came here just to talk to you, that's all"
"Oh."
Five minutes passed by as they kept quiet from talking. Edmund wasn't sure about what Cassie came to his room to talk about.
Then Edmund spoke up.
"Cassie?"
"Yes"
"I heard on the news about Jeffrey's death and the mob hit that caused it. I'm sorry that you had to find out that way that you did"
"Well there was a time where you wished that it had happened sooner or later and it did. So now you can be happy"
"Yes I can be happy that he's gone..."
"That's usual."
"Hey you didn't let me finish"
"What's there to finish? All I know that you were going to say is that you are happy that he's gone so you can get me again for yourself"
"Well yes and no.But I did want him gone because of what he did to our relationship back then."
"Oh yes our relationship. Something that meant to me alot but then you had to go and screw it up because you were jealous. Pure jealousy that I was spending my time having Jeffrey help me find out who was taking my identity and you couldn't deal with it. So much for the improved Edmund Winslow back then"
"Okay yes I was jealous back then but how could I not be when you could have consulted in me in our relationship to have me help you instead of Jeffrey. Our relationship meant everything to me. It meant to me alot for some reasons that I can't even explain"
"Can you try to explain them"
"Yeah. We found love. A different kind of love that we both have never known was possible because of our past. When the baby you lost thing came up and we talked about that we forgave each other so we could move on. And everything else that we had to go through in order to be together."
"Is that all you remember? Because all I remember of our relationship summed up as is a lie. A lie."
"Cassie."
"Our relationship was based on a lie Edmund!"
"No it wasn't. I loved you and you loved me. I still do"
"It was a lie. Don't you get it?"
"I get it. Okay. I'm sorry"
"Sorry!? Your sorry!?"
"Isn't that what I said?"
"Wait, wait, your sorry for all that happened between us? Your sorry sorry that everything fell apart after I found out about the barn fire? Your sorry that you hit Jeffrey over the head and almost killed him? Your sorry that you caused Will to go back to san Cristobel so that he could be prince? Your sorry about what happened with Hope and Michelle and Dinah?"
"Alright. Alright I get it"
"No I don't think that you do get it inside that empty space in your head that you call a brain"
Edmund solemnly turned away from Cassie knowing that her words had torn him upside.
"I think I hit a nerve. That's usual. It doesn't surprise me at all that you would feel bad about what you did because you never apologized about it""My god this is ridiculous."
"Ridiculous? Let me tell you what's ridiculous Edmund, that I loved you. That I was blind enough to think that you changed into the "better man" you seem to have changed into back then. It was there. That was a cover up. But it has been a lie since day one. You don't have the capacity to love anyone. You only have the capacity to love yourself and to hate and take revenge on people. I can't believe how blind I was to fall in love you. Madly in love with you but that was a lie. I gave you my heart Edmund and you used it and used me. You used me in the final stages of our marriage and relationship and you manipulated me to think that Dinah was carrying our child. But that was a lie too. (sobs) I wanted a child with you. Then after our dream was crushed you had to come up with a plan to get me back with you so you stole Michelle's baby and passed it off as ours and I fell in love with that child and you manipulated me into loving that baby. We loved each other when we were together but you destroyed our happiness."
"Your right Cassie. We did love each other. We loved each other Cassie. For god's sake we were married and getting ready to have a baby. Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
"Yes, it does. It means that that too was based on a lie"
"I think that I have had enough torture today"
"No i don't think have had enough Edmund, you need to see what I have been going through. I was the victim of your lies, deceit, and manipulations. And that is no more."
"You were the victim? Oh my god Cassie don't you hear yourself saying that you were the victim"
"Then if you say that I am not the victim of your haneous crimes then who is it then?"
"I think you know perfectly clear who it is"
"Wait a minute, are you telling me that you feel victimized?"
"As a matter of fact, yes I do feel like I was the victim and still is a victim of what you did to me. You tortured me by leaving me for Jeffrey"
"A victim of me because I left you for Jeffrey"
"Yes and I think you know why"
"You just don't know when to quit do you Edmund"
"No and I intend to not stop anytime soon"
"I think it's time for me to leave because I can't stand how vindicative you still are"
"Well then I will help you out the door"
"Fine"
"Fine"
They walk towards the door and Cassie faces Edmund and makes eye contact with him.
"But let me just say this Edmund, you are still the same self-centered, sadistic, egotistical, son of b**** you are since the day I met you"
"And you are the same judgemental bitterful witch"
They looked at each other coldly and then Cassie walks away leaving Edmund standing there all red in the face and fuming mad. All Edmund could do was slam the door and try to cool off.
