It's Complicated

Untitled Part 21

"What are you going to say?" I ask. We pull into a parking spot at the hospital. Chase was going to ask Oliver to leave me alone. And also tell him that he should move on.

"Honestly," He turned holding my hand," I don't know. You should talk."

"Okay." I sigh. We step out of the car. And walk next to each other.

We didn't hold hands.

We arrive to his room and hesitate before we go in.

"Oliver?" I say.

"Gaia! I'm so sorry! I love you-" He paused and looked at Chase standing behind me.

"Oliver-" I start.

"No! I thought we had something. But you move on so quick. It's a record time." Oliver sneers. His knuckles turn white as Oliver grips the saftey bed bars.

"Chase? Can you give us a moment." I say to him.

Chase quietly leaves.

"Oliver. I need to move on... This," I gesture to both of us," isn't going to work. You have caused so much drama and I- I can't." I choke.

"I didn't bring all of this crap into your life. You brought into mine. You arrogant pig." He narrows his eyes.

"Let's just give it a few months." I whisper.

"Fine. Go." Oliver looked away.

"I'm sorry." I whisper the last few words. I turn and exit the room to see Chase.

"How'd it go?" Chase said wrapping an arm around my waist.

All I did was start to cry. I cried in his shoulder.

He took me back to the cabin and the time was around 10:30 p.m.

He took my hand and led me down the hallway into his bedroom. I go on the left side of the bed and curl up. Chase gets in on the right and drapes an arm around me.

"I'm sorry for bringing you into this... And I can't sleep with someone else yet. This is our first date." I sigh. I sit up and run my hands through my thick hair.

"I can sleep on the couch in the living room?" Chase offered.

"No. No, I should probably have Alex pick me up." I let my feet touch the hardwood as I walk to the dresser and text Alex to pick me up.

When I got done texting I looked up to see Chase.

"It's not that I don't like you... I-" I start.

"No! I was pushing it. I know you like me and I like you too." Chase stood up and walked up to me. He was so close. His chest was right there. Chase placed his hands on my shoulders and rubbed them gently.

"Thanks. For everything, Chase." I look up at him.

My phone buzzed. Chase let me go and I turned to see Alex had texted me back.

Alex: Yep... Address?

I turn to Chase and ask,"What's the address?"

"5828 Flaming Tree Road." He said looking over my shoulder.

I texted Alex the address and turn back to Chase.

He took my hand and led me out to the living room to wait. We sat next to each other.

I glance at Chase.

He looks back.

I had to look away. I feel guilty about Oliver.
