Emma's POV

I was sorely mistaken.

I understood the power Chase had on the girls in school. If he was that good after a three day trip, when all everyone wanted to do was rest, then he definitely was H I M!

I got back home to my mom and Mark getting at it in the living room, shamelessly.

Ridden with too much moral guilt to talk, I went up as quietly as I could.

I was ready to forget what happened, but with every thing I did, my mind always seemed to wander back there.

It was not something I could forget in a jiffy.

“Hey. How was your trip?” Mom asked the next morning.

My legs felt like spaghetti.

“It was nice.” I answered curtly.

I had only begun to feel guilty.

The last night was magic, the next day was hell to pay.

She looked quite unsatisfied. “Did anything spectacular happen?” My mom asked, pressing further.

“What is supposed to be spectacular about a trip?” I asked her.

“Everything. I mean, it's a new experience.” She replied.

I was used to my mom taking bre

    Emma's POV It was the second time I went down on a man, my first being only yesterday. “How was it? Really?” He asked. I didn't have much experience in that department,but I heard enough stories about stuff like that to know that guys barely gave a shit whether they performed well or not. All they did was come and go, literally. “I don't have anything to compare it to.” I replied. Still bent on nit giving him the satisfaction of knowing that he had fucked my brains out. “It's okay to now be able to think straight. That's what happens when you get piped real good.” Chase was zipping up his pants. “You're so fucking full of yourself.” I said. He slapped my legs closed, went to the door and unlocked it. “That's how you are when you're just too good.” He said. The weekend passed in a blur and it was back to school. I tried to avoid Chase, but he didn't seem to be in my way so much. I was beginning to have second thoughts about it. Maybe he finally decided I wasn't worth

    Chase’s POV Mr Rudd and I had a showdown in the class. I could hear the sound of Emma's breath. She was having a hard time keeping up with reality. And I couldn't blame her. Many would call what I was doing ‘love bombing’, and I wished I could make it easier for her, but that was just how it worked for me. “Sorry about that” I apologized to her as she took her seat again. “Is this really what you want? You're trying so hard to ruin me, can you stop?” Emma was in tears. It hurt to hear that that was what she really thought of me. “Emma, do you really think I saved you a seat to make fun of you?” I asked her. She was pained and I understood that, but she was being irrational too. “That's a bit unfair.” “Unfair is coming to school half scared I could have a baby in my stomach and having to be the clown in my first class. That's what unfair sounds like.” She replied. I didn't want to draw Mr Rudd's attention further, else I risked a more serious confrontation with him.

    Emma's POV I felt like Kevin made me feel when Chase didn't show up. We were to meet by four pm at the bottom of the stairway. I missed a class and wanted forty five minutes for someone who wasn't in school. Unfortunately, Jessica and her new man, who surprisingly happened to be Mr Rudd already had their minds on the bottom of the stairway too for their make out session. I heard all sorts of obscenities. I wished I could block their sound, but if I made the slightest movement, they'd have heard. I endured the harrowing experience for twenty five of the forty five minutes I was stood up. The last half of the day was a blur. Firstly, Chase got on Mr Rudd's nerve cause of me, then he stood me up. It made no sense, but I couldn't talk to anyone about it, because what we had wasn't ideal in the first case. I went home with hopes of seeing Chase there. I wasn't so keen on it, but it sure would have helped. Chase wasn't home either. The maid he was fucking the first time I saw hi

    Lily's POV Grayson and Emma had a small bit of background in common, but I didn't want to let Emma know about it. I've not been fortunate with men, or boys. I really wanted Gray and I to last, till, well, forever. Gray and Emma grew up in the same town. Then his dad remarried when he was about six years old and moved him from Starry town to County City. Emma too grew up in Stary town. Gray went back to see his mom and step siblings a few days after our shopping spree and two days before the Senior Trip. He came back a different person, but not to me, thankfully. He began to withdraw from Chase and Emma which I found weird. He and Chase were like two peas in a pod, I wouldn't have been with him because of how close he was to Chase, but I also knew Chase would never say anything about it, so I took my chances with being with Chase's brother from another mother. Gray didn't seem to want to do stuff with Emma anymore, and I guess since she became Chase's new fancy, it kinda rub

    Grayson’s POV Days before the school trip, Mom called to come see her and I thought I could squeeze in a day or two. I took the three hour trip from County to Starry town. It was still just how I remembered it. Everything was the exact same, except my mom. She was with someone else, but she wasn't too happy and didn't look good either. “Hey Ma.” I said, as soon as I got in. “Hey baby. How are you?” She asked, “I'm fine ma.” I replied to her. “I don't know what to say of you though.” I said, daring to talk about something I knew could be sensitive to her. “Just say it, Son, say it.” She said, “Mom, you look bad.” I said. I didn't like seeing her like that. She had two more sons from her other marriage. “It's not his fault,”She said. “That's all the answer I need mom. I didn't even ask if it was him.” I replied, pissed. “Gray, this isn't your battle to fight. I have to stay for Mike and Jerry.” She said, more to herself than to me. We had the discussion over

    Emma's POV “Gray and Lily are acting weird.” I told Chase. “Is that so?” He asked, seeming so unconcerned. “Yeah. I wanted to sit by them and they were so hostile.” Replaying it in my head made me almost want to cry. Heartbreaks were bad, but friendship breakups too were somewhere on that list of things that could make someone go mad. “Did they say anything?” Gray asked. “Anything like what?” I had a sneaky feeling that he knew something, but Chase wasn't a really readable person. “I don't know. Something out of the ordinary?” He asked. . He was so engrossed in his food, one would've thought that it wasn't his best friend we were talking about. “Their whole freaking attitude was. That's the exact fucking thing I'm saying.” His ‘I don't care’ attitude was getting on my nerves. I was already on the verge of tears, and he wasn't helping matters. “Just go somewhere else.” I said. “And you're complaining about Gray and her?” Chases rarely ever called Lily by h

    Emma's POV Chase came and sat right next to me as I predicted. Lily still didn't move a finger “What's going on?” I whispered in her ear. “I don't want to talk right now.” She said back. “Why?” I asked her. “Cause we're in class?” She sounded quite sassy, but I wasn't ready to back down. Just then, Jessica passed by. “Man and wife, bitch and man.” She said, Grayson was sitting on one end, Lily followed, I did, then Chase. I didn't need to be told that she was referring to me. Shockingly, Gray acknowledged her. I looked at Chase to check if he saw the exchange they had just happened, and I confirmed he did. His look wasn't pleasant. “What's going on man?” I read the note he passed to me and looked at him. “Pass it on to Gray.” He said. I passed it to Gray, boycotting Lily. I doubt she would touch anything Chase touched even with the longest of spoons. Gray passed the paper back through Lily who gave me when she could have reached for Chase directly. I sent

    Emma's POV “Still going out with me?” Chase popped his head in my room and asked I had long stopped bolting my door. It didn't stop anything. Every single time I tried to do it, thinking it would keep me away from Chase, it only brought me closer to him. I'd overthink myself into unlocking the door again. “That's the most hideous hat I ever saw.” I joked with him. “There's more where it came from.” He responded. He was obviously in a better mood, and it was good, for me. “I'm sorry about earlier.” I apologized, getting out of bed. “That's alright. I'm the villain in every story. Hurry up before I show you why that is.” He joked with a little wink. Chase was crazy, there was no going back about it. “Alright.” I replied, laughing. “Would you like me to watch, or you'd rather I stayed out in the cold?” He asked, with a very exaggerated sense of need. “I'd rather you froze over than watch me get dressed.” I replied to him. . He made a very funny disappointed fa

    Emma's POV “We are both hurt. I think it's better we realize that and stop shaming the other person. Emma, you're just as damaged as I am.” Chase said. “That's not rocket science, Chase. Isn't this how you leave everyone you've been with?” I asked, “Broken and damaged?” “That's unfair, Em. You keep skipping the fact that there are always two sides to anything.” He replied to me. “You think I did, Chase?” I looked at him in his sinfully sexy blue eyes I still hadn't gotten an antidote to, not even the anger I felt, “All I did was allow you. I made you do all you did to me. In a way, I even enabled you.” “That's untrue, and you know it.” He replied to me. “I've talked about this, over and over. In my head and out of it, and it's still the same conclusion I reach.” I responded to him. “If ‘out of your head’ in any way refers to the bastard up there, I don't think I want to hear it.” I replied to her. “You've gotta get over yourself, Chase.” I said. “There's life

    Chase's POV “You're still here, Em. It means you're interested.” I said. “I'm not comfortable here.” She said in a low voice. “I'd be in the garage, meet me there.” I said. “Maybe this is your time to show how low you regard me.” I let go of her hand which I had in mine, doing it both lightly and seductively. I knew I walked with such swagger, such essence that couldn't betray how scared I felt deep inside. Maybe she'd realize that I wasn't worth shit, and just go upstairs to meet her little boyfriend. I sat in my favorite of my dad's lot, the black mustang I saved Emma's ring in. That particular car had so many memories. I wanted to be in. I checked the time on my Patek, it was a few minutes to midnight. The estate gate was gonna be locked by 00:00, and if I couldn't make it out by then, I'd be stuck with Em and that bastard. 23:53, I had begun to get antsy. It'd be really unfortunate if I left, and Em eventually came down. I kept telling myself to calm down and b

    Emma's POV “Can I trust you?” I asked Chase. I was mentally drained. Having played the good daughter throughout the anniversary, I wanted to catch my breath. Little did I know I had just been walking straight into Chase’s arms. “You know you can, Em.” He said, enthusiastically. “I'd hold your secret against me, Em. I wouldn't even tell myself.” His eyes mirrored mine, tired, hunger of the soul, and exhaustion. I couldn't believe that it was the same person who acted like I didn't exist last night. “I don't know where I stand with Kevin, really.” I said what I'd forbidden myself to. I made a deal with my mind to never say it. Just so I didn't believe it. The more I said something, the more I was forced to believe. “Start from the point where you left me, Em. I want to know it all.” He said, looking downI hated when Chase had that pensive look on his face. It felt like he was just a slight provocation away from murder. “After us,” I started, my mind was a bit foggy

    Chase's POV “What did you do that for?!” Emma yelled after landing me a slap to the cheek. “I already said I wasn't gonna let you go.” I replied stubbornly. “Chase, my arm is hurting.” She cried, referring to the arm I'd been holding. I felt like a nasty person. Maybe it was the universe providing answers to the question I'd asked so many times, “Am I not good enough for her?” Well, I now knew I was too violent, too relentless, too impulsive, I rarely rethought my decisions, I bent everything to my will, things had to suit me, always. And those were all the things Emma stood against. “Emma, I'm a damaged guy, and I know it's really not your job to fix me. I'm a sorry project who should've belonged to my late mom and my dad who's now a happily remarried man. I get it. No one wants a project. But this is me swearing that I'd never hurt you, Em. I've learned. I do better for myself these days.” I said, frantically. Emma was rubbing her arm where I grabbed her, a sorry rem

    Chase's POV. “It's not good that I'm too close to you, Chase.” Emma cried. Her eyes were already tearing up, and her face wet. Her rosy cheeks were beginning to peek from beneath the light make-up. “Why, Emma?” I asked her, letting my mouth say all the things my heart felt. “Am I so bad?” I asked. “I never said anything like that.” She answered. “So what is it?” I asked, exhausted. “Why do you want to be away from me so bad? Why do you treat me with such a long spoon? You can't deny missing me, Em. I see it in your eyes. What is holding you back?” I dared reach for her trembling hands, and she didn't pull away. It was a good thing. “Chase, I just still find it so hard to process. I'd rather think about things that hurt me, than process the whole thing. The past year has been the most tumultuous part of my life yet. I'm so fucking drained, I just need peace.” She said, “And you think that description doesn't fit me.”I asked, against my better reasoning. I then remi

    Chase’s POV“I didn't think you'd be here.” She said,“I could say the same.” I replied to her Emma was the last person I thought who'd want to catch a break from the ceremony.She was at the center of it all, and really did well at her job of role playing a perfect daughter.“It's too much.” She replied with a low voice.“What is?” I asked, clearing my throat. “The atmosphere.” She explained, kicking the grass in her stilettos. Her legs looked like they must've been hurting. “Here.”I gave way for her to sit on her favorite swing. I could never take that away from her. “Thank you.” Emma was being her generic self, the side that she showed everyone else. Shy and contained. But I didn't like that. I liked that Emma I fell for, headlong. “It's nothing to Chase’s POV “I didn't think you'd be here.” She said, “I could say the same.” I replied to her Emma was the last person I thought who'd want to catch a break from the ceremony.

    Chase's POV I wished I could remain busy throughout the day. A time to rest meant a time to think. I was under the same roof as Emma, like I'd been wanting, but we were yet so far apart. The flowers were an ill thought decision, but I had to do something. Being in the same house with Emma for over three days was beginning to mess with my mental health. “You shouldn't have done that.” I said to myself. If only Emma had kept it a family thing and didn't have that one over, things would have been a lot easier. I intentionally left a note out of the flower delivery, but I knew she recognised the sender, irregardless. Before I knew it,my 5:30 alarm went off, and I had to throw on my tux as fast as I could. It'd be great if my dad and Linda got down to a full audience waiting for them. It was a really big deal for my dad, so big he had made arrangements for his helicopter to pick them both at ten o'clock. Linda was wearing a slick floor length satin dress in emerald green, paired

    Emma's POVI decided to see my mom before the dinner. I didn't care if it was right or wrong, but I'd barely seen her all through the day and I was dying to know how she was holding up. Maybe an escape for myself was the other motive, but primarily, I wanted to know how she was doing. “Hey mom.” I said, pushing her door open. It almost felt like it was her wedding all over again. Mark was going all out. And I didn't know why it had to be that big for a guest list of just sixteen people. “This is a lot.” I smiled. “It is.” I saw the woman beneath all the makeup, hair glam, and accessories. She was still just my mom. “Can I have a moment with my daughter please?” She referred to everyone else in the room who wasn't me, and they, by my rough headcount, were about eight. “We can spare only about half an hour.” A kind lady who looked like she was in her thirties said, She had an outrageous makeup done. While it looked good, edgy, classy on her, I hope that wasn't gonna be my

    Emma's POV. “You were gonna go in.” He said, looking away. “I was.” I replied, unshifting. He no longer had the courage to stare me down, and I no longer had the will to leave, “MIT looks good on you.” He said. “Thank you.” I smiled, “I could say the same for you.” “I see you've made new friends, well old ones,but you know…” He said. I chuckled within myself. Who'd have known that I could make the bad boy Chase unsure about me? “Yeah, I had no choice.” I murmured. “Uhm, how are you?” I asked, just out of courtesy, I told myself. I thought being brave and bold was gonna make me indestructible by him, but I was beginning to come off as antagonistic, and I didn't like it. Deep down, in the corners of my heart I hoped Kevin would never see, Chase occupied it. I wanted for him to close the distance between us like he'd once done. To treat me like his own. I was getting a little teary, so I dug my freshly manicured nail into my palm, I wasn't gonna cry, I could not.
