Two wrongs make a right

Chapter 16-In the dark

Chase's POV

Weird, i felt like i knew that girl that just bumped into me. I can't help but feel a sense of deja vu from when Alison bumped into me that day at school in the hallways. I shake my head clear of any thoughts of Alison. Gosh, i feel like Ashton now.

The fighting arena stunk of sweat and cheap perfume. Ryan and i head towards a table in the far back scoping out the area for our delinquent. I haven't really gotten a good look around until the guy that just fought sat at the bar near the table. There was nothing special about him but what caught my eye was the little tattoo peeking out from the tank top that he wore.

Bingo! we have got our guy. I must say i almost didn't recognize him with the disguise but his tattoo is a good give away. '"Ashton,do you copy? I got my eye on the target" i spoke into my ear piece but there was no response. "Ashton,do you copy?" but there was still no response. "Ashton!!!". "Chasey, that's not my code name, use it and then i will respond" he whined into my ear, i could practically see the pout he had.

I rolled my eyes at his childish antics and sighed. "Sugar pie, do you copy? I have my eye on the target", "That's more like it cupcake,i'm heading out" i pinched the bridge of my nose and let out a heavy breathe, "Just get it done and meet us at the van" i told him "You gots it boss."

I turned to Ryan to find him flirting with some brunette and i slapped him upside the head "Come on, let's head out" i winked and him and in return he flipped me off.

I chuckled and once we were in the van i waited for the tracking device to connect to our computers. Ashton hopped into the van and when Jason picked up the signal we were off. We first needed to work on a plan before we hop into action so everybody heading home or to the gang house. And as for me, well i headed back to my grave. Kidding, i haeded back to Alison's grandparents' house.

Alison's POV

After rushing back to the changing rooms i told Emily everything and i was on the verge of having a panic attack. She calmed me down and assured me that everything will be okay and that if my father ever showed his face he would have to go through her. Damn how i loved my best friend,but it still didn't completely settle my anxiety about the whole situation. 

She dropped me off at my grandparents' home and the first thing i did was make me food. I mean excuse me for having an appetite amidst all the drama. After catching up on a few episodes of Pretty Little Liars with the rest of the women in the house, i head down to the basement to relief some of the tension and frustration in my muscles.

I head to the punching bags,wrap my fists in white tape and before anything else i put on "Up in flames" by Ruelle. I mean come on the music just gives it a dramatic effect.

I start imagining my dick of a sperm donor's face while punching the bag with everything i have. I can start feeling the burn of the broken flesh of my knuckles but if anything it just gives me more energy to punch harder.

I hear the creaking of the steps leading down to the basement and i know someone is coming down. Shit! I start making my punches sloppy, you know for secret identity purposes before i hear the door open.

"Woah, you going to hurt yourself sweetheart. Your fists aren't formed properly" that annoyingly attractive deep voice sounds from behind me. I turn around and come face to face with a hard and sturdy chest,ugh stupid height issues. 

I look up to find those beautiful grey eyes staring down at me and yes you guessed it, the asshole is smirking! Shocker. I roll my eyes and snicker mentally,if only he knew i could have him on the ground before he could even say no.

"I was just finishing up anyway,so if you want to use the punching back it's all yours" i state and walk towards the bench to take the tape off. "Let me see" Chase says walking towards me and taking a seat beside me. Before i can respond he pulls my hands into his lap and i accidentally wince when his fingers brush against my open wound.

"Shit, i'm sorry. Look at how damaged you made your knuckles,you know if wanna learn how to pack a punch i could always help." he says nudging my shoulder gently before removing the tape and getting first aid kit in the corner of the room. 

"Careful now Chasey, you wouldn't want to make my plotting of your death easier" i wink at him and he chuckles.

"Oh please princess, we both know you would miss me if i were to go" he smirks and ties a bandage around me knuckles. "Psh, i'm pretty sure you would miss my amazing company" i respond with a cheeky smile.

Just as he was about to respond everything went dark and i jumped, dammit i was slightly afraid of the dark. Well in my defense, most of my abuse occured in the dark so being afraid of the dark makes perfect sense.

"Hold on, i'm going to see what happened" Chase states well getting up. I quickly grab his arm and yank him back down. "No don't go, i'm sure they can handle it" i state and i hear him chuckle "Aww is the princess afraid of the dark." 

I don't know why but that sentence just ticked me off, "Don't assume things you know nothing about Chase. Go if you want to go,see if i care" i turn my back towards  him and try to control my breathing.

It's okay Al, he is not here. You are safe, he isn't going to jump out of the shadows. You are strong, he can't break you.

"I'm sorry i didn't mean to offend you." he whispers and we sit for a while in silence in the dark.

I let out sigh, "I'm sorry for blowing up at you it's just, it always happened in the dark. Don't get me wrong, i love sleeping in the dark but when i'm awake, i just can't handle it" i whisper and before i know it i'm getting pulled into a hug.

The hug makes me feel safe and like i belong and i simply just melt into it. Gosh he smells amazing. 

"He can't get you anymore Alison. You are safe now, i'll protect you. I mean we both know you wouldn't mind i mean you do find me irresistible" he says and i can't help but giggle.

"Thanks Chase it really means a lot." I completely forgot about my music playing and when we pull apart one of my favourite songs play. "I choose you" by Mario.

I can't help but notice how empty i feel now without Chase's arms around me,Ugh snap out of Al. Control your emotions. I start humming along with the song and then Chase pulls me up.

"May i have this dance milady" if it were light i could probably see the smirk he had on his face I place my hand into his extended one. "I thought you'd never ask kind sir"

And then we sway to the music in the dark and it was as if the rest of the world around us disappeared. Eventually the lights came on and we headed to our bedrooms,and i fell asleep with a huge smile on my face thinking about a certain pair of grey eyes with brown flecks.

A/N hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Isn't Chase just a sweetheart guys, we really need to get a ship name for those two.
