Chapter 16:

Annd we're back

---------------------------------------------------------------

''Uh. . .Who is this?'' I questioned hesitantly, Frowning slightly in confusion at the unknown voice.

The man on the other side was quiet for a moment before he answered me.

'''Seth Baker. . .And you are?''' The other man, Seth muttered politely, His voice was warm and velvety as he spoke.

''That sounds like a fake name. . .'' I pointed out, Drawing a small amused huff from the man on the other side.

'''You're calling for Chase aren't you?''' Seth guessed correctly, Seeming calm and amused.

I could faintly hear fabric rustling as the man on the other side presumably got up, Footsteps soon following.

Felix was watching me with confusion this whole time.

''Yes, Yes I am, Is he able to come to the phone?'' I questioned slowly, Waving off Felix's concerned look.

'''One moment, I will call him down''' Seth informed me politely before seemingly covering the phone and speaking to someone else if his muffled voice was anything to go by.

I covered my phone as well, Turning to the worried looking Felix.

''The man who answered is going to go get Chase, I'm assuming it's one of his co-workers'' I informed Felix, Bringing him up to speed with the conversation.

'''Hello? Who is this?''' A familiar voice questioned, Drawing my attention back to my phone.

''Ash. Are you busy?'' I questioned, Turning my attention to the nervously twitching ginger next to me.

'''Oh . . .No, No I'm not, Are you alright? You're not in any danger are you?''' Chase questioned slowly, Concern tinting his voice

''No. I'm fine, I was just calling to let you know that the boy I had told you about, Felix, He's more than willing to meet with you'' I informed him, My brow furrowing as I noticed the fact that Felix looked uneasy.

Is he alright?

'''Really? Well. . .I'm off on my lunch break right now. . .I'd be more than happy to come meet him''' Chase said eagerly, The faint 'clink' sound of keys making it through the phone.

''We're at the local park. . .The only one that you won't step on a needle if you walk around it'' I informed him, Smiling slightly when I heard a small sigh come over the phone.

''Do you need the name of the park to find it?'' I questioned, Unsure if my directions were good enough.

'''No, No, I unfortunately know exactly which one you're talking about''' He sighed out, Making a small smile quirk at my lips.

He sounded so disappointed.

''Well. . .We'll see you soon then I guess'' I muttered before hanging up, My attention turning fully back to Felix once again.

His nervous twitching was even worse now.

That's. . .Concerning. . .

''You alright over there?'' I questioned, Gentling my voice as I stuffed my phone back in my pocket.

He smiled slightly, Clearly forcing it as he did his best to stop his twitching.

''Oh yeah. . .I'm fine. . .Fine. . .'' Felix lied, Moving to sit down on one of the nearby benches.

Well that's a bold faced lie.

''Bullshit. What's wrong?'' I questioned, Resting my hands in my hoodie's pockets as I stated this.

He blinked slowly before opening his mouth to speak only to cut himself off, Falling silent.

''Felix, What's wrong, Seriously'' I pressured, Moving to sit down next to him, Hunching my shoulders slightly.

He nervously rubbed at his arms before giving me a wobbly smile.

''Just a. . .Little nervous. . .What if. . .What if he doesn't like me?. . .What if I make a bad first impression? What if I'm not good enough? What if he thinks I'm ugly? What-'' He started to ramble before falling silent as I covered his mouth with my hand.

''Okay, Stop. Breath. You're going to work yourself up to the point of fainting'' I pointed out, Moving my hands to rest both of them on the other boy's shoulders.

He was staring up at me with wide, Watering eyes, His body shaking ever so faintly beneath my hands.

Better quash this before it grows into something worse than a little doubt.

''We'll start from the top. If he doesn't like you then he's an idiot, You're a very sweet boy and he'd be stupid to not see as much. If you make a bad first impression then you always have a second impression to fix any mistakes. You're defiantly enough, Don't be dumb. And you're far from ugly, If anything, You're adorable. So cut out all of this okay? You're going to do great'' I assured him, Giving his shoulders a reassuring squeeze.

A few tears were slipping down his face by now.

Oh fuck. . .He's crying. . .What am I supposed to do?. . .I'm not good at this. . .

Reaching out, I awkwardly patted his back, Making hushing sounds.

''What is it now?'' I started to question before the other boy lunged forwards, Embracing me in a tight hug that drew a muffled squeal of pain from me.

''Oh gosh! Your stiches! I forgot about them! I'm so so sorry'' Felix instantly apologized.

I was too busy keeling over in agony to respond to that, My side was pulsing with pain and my vision was blurring at the edges with unshed tears.

''Do you need help? Can I help? What should I do?'' Felix fussed, Worriedly reaching out towards me before thinking better of touching me, Opting instead to nervously fiddle with his hands.

''No. No, I'm, I'm fine'' I squeaked out, My voice a bit higher pitched than usual as I remained doubled over where I was sitting.

A few deep breaths and reassurances later and I very slowly sat back up.

Movement made my side throb now, But other than that, I was okay as I could be.

Thankfully just in time.

A familiar man in a cop's uniform was approaching us, His expression mostly hidden by the shadow cast from his hat.

''Hey Chase'' I called out in greeting, Drawing Felix's worried attention to the tall man currently making his way towards us.

''Hello Ashton. . .And you must be Felix?'' Chase guessed once he was close enough that we didn't have to shout to hear each other.

If the flustered, Blushing mess that Felix became at that moment was a sign then this meeting was going to go well.

Thank goodness. . .I'm closer to being without soulmates . . .
