Strangers again

Chases POV:
Having my brother here is weird. I feel like I don't even know him. I knew him, but I don't anymore. He has this whole life that I know nothing about and the last time he saw me I had a completely different life. It's so weird because it felt like a year ago we were all living at home together. It's sad honestly. I used to love my brothers, they were there for me when I had no friends. They supported me every time we moved to get to another hospital.

Honestly, I like Tristan. I like him a lot more then I like Fred.

Tristan hasn't tried to touch my girlfriend in her sleep yet so I think he's winning.

Charli: "how do you like your brother so far?"
She put her arms around my neck

Chase: "If I'm being completely honest, I wouldn't be friends with him in real life. He's nice but he's spoiled. He's got money, a lot of it, and when I talk to him I can feel his richness. It feels like I'm talking to one of those old rich white guys who like to talk about how much they made that week or what new multi million dollar gift they bought themselves."

She laughed

Charli: "and what if you become rich which I know you will. Since your music is amazing"

I think about this a lot actually. Not because I want to buy things but because I don't want to turn into a spoiled rich person.

Chase: "If I become rich. I'm promising myself I will never become that. I've come to far to let money change me. I am promising I won't spend my money on big boats or huge houses. I will spend my money on 4 things."

As much as expensive things might make me happy. They don't make you happy for long. They're like vacations. When you go on vacation you're excited. They only last around week and you only go around once a year. But let's say you're rich and you decide to go longer, the first few weeks of the vacation are great. You love the vacation. But then after a month you start to get tired of it, and after a few months it doesn't feel special anymore. Feels like your every day life. That's how it feels when you get an expensive item. It makes you happy for a bit and then you get tired of it. So you fill the void with another expensive item. Then another. Then another. Then you realize there's nothing else for you to buy because nothing makes you excited anymore.

Charli: "tell me these 4 things"
Chase: "okay sure. Your medical bills, my child, making you happy and research for cancer. Pancreatic specifically"

That's all I need to be happy. Get the debts out of the way, be a good dad, make the love of my life as happy as she makes me and knowing that someone is doing something to help stop cancer from killing more people like Charli.

Charli: "really?"

I nodded

Chase: "of course"
Charli: "you are the sweetest"

I want to make a difference. A real difference.

Chase: "I'd do anything to prevent this happening to someone else."

But unfortunately they are probably still years maybe decades away from finding a cure. So it will happen millions of more times.
