Erratic: Chapter 34: Chase's Dirty Little Secret

 ||MACY||

I drove behind Miguel's car as he leads me to the place that he wanted me to go to. Today's Wednesday but we do have a day off since it was our prom yesterday. Earlier this morning, Miguel sent me a text saying that we should meet up in the park near our house at 2pm and that I should bring my car since the place that he was taking me is apparently far away from our house.

Miguel rounded a corner and I tagged along. He then turned into a parking lot and stopped. Wow, the place that he wants us to go to is a park. Why can't we just go to the one near our house? I hopped off my car and went over to Miguel.

"Why are we here? Why didn't we just go to the one near our house?" I frowned.

"For a change I guess." Miguel shrugged.

We walked around the park whilst talking about various of things and when we found a perfect spot with a big enough shade for the two of us, we sat there and chatted.

"You know I miss hanging out with you just like the old times." Miguel said.

"Huh? What are you talking about? we always hang out." I frowned.

"But it's not like the old times, like when it's just us." Miguel tells and then says quietly, "I wish it could be just the two of us, without anyone else."

I remained silent because he is confusing me a lot.

"Louise, why are you so blind?" Miguel asks.

"HUH?" I asked with a really confused expression.

"Why didn't you notice that Beau likes you?" Miguel asked.

"What are you going on about? Why are you asking me this?" I answered a question with another question.

"Are you dense? Did you really not notice him because you were too caught up with Chase?" Miguel continued.

"What? I don't know what's happening right now. You're confusing me. Why did we even go here?" I asked.

"Just answer the questions Louise." Miguel says. 

"Fine. Am I blind, in reality, no. But I know what you mean and I'd like to think that I'm not. Am I dense... I'm not. I notice a lot of things especially changes. I noticed quite a few changes with how Beau acts with me but I didn't want to think about it a lot since I didn't know how to respond. I chose to stay silent about my investigations because I have no idea on what to say if the time comes and I'd have to discuss the situation with him." I answered.

"Did you like him?" Miguel interrogated.

"I used to. Before I developed feelings for Chase." I answered.

"Then why did you say the things that you said when he once said something about you liking him?" Miguel asked.

"Did Beau tell you everything or what? I said those stuff because it was just a spur of the moment thing, I didn't mean to hurt his feelings because it did seem that way now that I think about it. I was just pouring random words out of my mouth without thinking. I actually had feelings for him back then and what he said just shocked me and I tried to deny everything because I was scared. Enough with all this. I feel like I'm being interviewed. what even." I said.

"What would you have done if he confessed to you right then and there? Would that mean that there would be no Chase and Macy?" Miguel asked.

"I said stop."

"Answer it."

"I don't know. Panic probably and do the same thing and hurt him unintentionally. I don't know. I would be confused probably. I don't know!" I exclaimed getting frustrated with all these questions. What matters is the present, not the past, we're all fine now, no one has to bring up the past.
