Unexpected

Chapter 31

CHASE'S POV>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Shit I didn't know Eloise was going to look through my closet. I sit down on my bed running a hand through my hair. 

At least she's not mad. 

It could have gotten way worst.

"Eloise look this is a long story". I say.

 She nods, "I know that and I want to hear it". "Why do you have a picture of my with some random boy". She says. 

"You don't remember who that boy was"? I ask her confused. 

She shakes her head. 

"That boy you was with was Reid". I say. 

Her eyes widen. "Reid"! What do you mean it was Reid"? She asks me. 

"I don't know but he told me to keep those picture for the meantime". I say. 

"Why"? She asks me. 

"I don't know he wouldn't tell me". I say.

"How did I take a picture with my brother and didn't notice". She mumbles questioning herself. I look at the picture. I see Reid, he looks 10 and Eloise looks 7. 

"Reid was a very smart kid at a young age". I say. She looks up and her eyes meet mine. 

She raises an eyebrow. "How come"? 

"At the age of 10 he found out who you were". He never even told you who you were to keep you safe". I tell her. 

"He told me since he was little he tried to protect you and he did". I say. "When you guys took this picture he has been in his foster home for a year". And him and his family were celebrating but he found you". Instead of spending time with his "Family" he wanted to spend it with you". I explain. 

I see her eyes water.

"The funny part is I don't even remember being with that boy". She says shaking her head and wiping her tears. 

"It's ok if you don't remember". That was years ago". And he even told me he doesn't expect you to remember, Because he gave you a fake name". I say. "He did everything he could to not tell you, you were his little sister". I say to her.

"He protected you". "When your mother saw him she was going to take you home", He said. "He heard your mom talking to someone on the phone". And when your mother was pulling you to make you leave". 

"You stayed". I say softly pointing at her.

You stayed with him for hours". I tell her.

"He couldn't let you leave". He just found you and he didn't want to lose you". I say. 

"He did everything he could to help me". She mumbles. "I wish I could have spend more time with him". She whispers. 

"Look, you have him right now". Your with him". Cherish that time together". I say. "Because at the end of the day you guys found each other". So make the most of it", I say with a soft smile. 

"Thank you Chase", Eloise says. 

"No problem, but now you can go get a sweater". I say with a smirk. 

She rolls her eyes getting up. She pulls out my dark red sweater and goes to my drawer. "What are you looking for"? I ask. She pulls out my cologne and sprays a lot on the sweater. 

"Did you really have to put cologne on my sweater"? I ask tilting my head to the side.

"Yes, It'll help me sleep at night". Or sleep better". She says. 

"When we get the cure you don't need to do that anymore"? I say.

"What do you mean"? She asks me tilting her head to the side. 

"You can sleep with me or I can sleep with you". I say. "So we can be together more often and you can sleep better". I say. "Only if you want to", I add on quickly. 

"Of course I want too", She says smiling. She goes inside her sleeping bag and closes her eyes. I lay on the bed and put the sheets over me. 

"Good night Mi amore". I say. 

"Good night Chase". She says. 

I smile knowing we only have 2 more days until we can be together.
