I didn't know what to say, when really there wasn't anything appropriate to say. All I wanted to do was apologize over and over. But that's not what it seemed Cassie needed me to say, since she had probably already forgiven me in the first place. What she needed me to say was that I would be fine, but I knew I wouldn't be. I pushed myself up on my elbow, wincing at the pain, but hell it hurt to even breath because of where I was hit. "Cassie," I said, voice a whisper. "Stop!"
