Chase Hudson Is Trouble

#34

The sirens were so loud i couldn't sleep that night, i was by my own under the blanket in my own house. My mother was probably in the police station questioning and asking about things she'll probably will never know. I felt scared of the idea that i will never get to see my dad outside the prison cell once again but my mom said he's innocent and it's a small thing what he did and he probably will be home tomorrow. My mind was foggy. Deep inside i didn't want to believe what my mom said , deep inside i knew my father wouldn't be on the breakfast table tomorrow.

The airport door swinged open and i felt the warm air of California. With all the things i had to deal with during this semester i've never missed this place , not even once. I've never missed the sunny weather , the trees, and the beach. Everything here reminded me of my misfortune. But after all this is my home. Walking outside the airport i saw my mother waiting for me next the exit. She rushed towards me and hugged the shit out of me.

"Wo" i said hugging her back "easy mom" i smiled when her eyes linked to mine.

"Can't believe i didn't see you for six months ester" she said with tears filling her eyes. "I missed you so much".

"I missed you too mom" i said while packing my stuff into the backseat of my mom's red honda (so cliche :p) .

"The moment you called i rushed to pack my stuff and booked the first flight " i said looking at her waiting because on the phone she didn't give me an explanation she just spat it out and hung up.

"Oh" she smiled delightfully "i knew you'll come if i called you" she looked me in the eyes "it's such great news isn't it".

"Yes" i said "amazing" for us at least but that wasn't how chase reacted when i told him.

Few hours ago when ester received the phone call:

"Hi mom" i picked up the phone.

"Ester" my mom screamed happily "you father proved his innocence"

"What?" I exclaimed "are you serious?" I said happily and chase looked at me questionably.

"Yes" mom answered from the other side of the phone "his lawyers found new evidence that completely proves your father's innocence" she said hurriedly "i gotta go now i'll tell you the details once you're here" and she hung up.

I layed my phone on my bed with chase next to me , i don't know how to comprehend this news ,how am i supposed to react? I mean is my father innocent for real ? Or is it just an unnecessary hope of my mother constantly believing he didn't do it.

"What's wrong ester" chase finally spoke while he layed next me to playing with my hair. I don't know if i want to tell him the truth or not. But this is something we share and he'll know either ways.

Do i rather tell him or let him know from other people, probably his family. He'll then turns to me and ask if i knew i'll probably tell him the truth. What will he do? He'll go crazy that's for sure. It's just , i looked him in the eye and smiled softly;

I don't wanna lose this soon.

I turned his way and smiled softly while touching his face and whispered
" i love you chase, and i love you so much".

The story is ending soon but i can't get myself to write this few months. Everything is currently hard for me , i have fallen in love with someone who works with me in the library. Like he's the perfect librarian all the characteristics included, kind , introvert , intellectual but will absolutely make me laugh hard. We worked together for 7 months with 12 hours shift and i literally see him everyday. I have fallen for him hard but now he's gone. He quitted and i think i can't get myself to forget him. It's hard.
