Deadly love | Chacha

Long time no see

~Chapter 81~
Long time no see

Chases POV:
We arrived at the rehabilitation Center and we stayed in the car for a bit.

Delilah: "are you gonna go or not."

I need a second.

Chase: "I can't just go. I'm scared. I haven't seen her in years."

She rolled her eyes

Delilah: "it's been 2 months."

Feels like years

It was silent for another few seconds and she started driving

Chase: "where are you going??"
Delilah: "home."

Oh my god.

Chase: "no no no-"
Delilah: "well you aren't doing anything"

I only needed a few minutes to prepare

Chase: "okay okay! I'm going! I'm going!"

She stopped the car

Chase: "this place looks pretty shitty"
Delilah: "pretty shitty? It looks really shitty"

Looks like a fucking prison

Delilah: "that's what she gets when an ex-druggy pays for her rehab. I don't think she'd expect a 5 star hotel experience."

I guess not

Chase: "well this looks more like somewhere people do drugs then somewhere where people get clean"

Guess it's just this neighbourhood. Not everywhere in california is nice.

Delilah: "this town is disgusting. Who would live here"
Chase: "I lived in this kinda place when I was a kid"

It was very shitty. The schools sucked. The neighbourhood was dangerous. I carried pepper spray everywhere I went because it was something all the kids did. It was normal.

Delilah: "you did? Why didn't I know that"
Chase: "it didn't really matter. Like I'm not gonna lie and say it was horrible. It wasn't. I still had a good childhood"

My family didn't have a lot of money, now they have more. Only because they're retired how and they sold their companies.

Delilah: "how did you end up in San Diego then? Like the nice part of it?"
Chase: "Once my brothers got scholarships into med school, my parents knew they'd become successful doctors so they used the rest of their savings on me. I got to go to university somewhere nice and later on my bothers made loads of money. Tristan gave some to my parent"

I was lucky my brothers were so smart. I still am. But at the time I didn't feel as lucky. If they hadn't gotten into med school, I'd probably still be living in a crappy town.

Chase: "I was the fuck up. I knew I was. And I hadn't even done anything wrong. My brothers had just done everything right. When I went to university, I was already the fuck up so I decided why not own up to the name. I basically ruined any chances I had at getting a good job by doing drugs and alcohol and not caring about my grades"

All because I was jealous of my brothers. It really messed up my life.

Delilah: "you're not the fuck up. You're just- different than them"
Chase: "I was a kid. I didn't know that. All I saw was my parents being proud of them and not of me."

Probably because I was really nothing compared to them. If I got an A- it wouldn't matter because they had A+.

Chase: "So yeah. It kinda shaped me. That's definitely one of the reasons I fucked up our relationship. I was jealous of you, Delilah. You were- you are this perfect independent girl that everyone likes. I felt like nothing compared to you. It was something Charli and I could relate to. That's why I went for her. we both felt like we were the fuck ups of our family and her and I had a lot of stuff in common. It's just how we were raised. So yeah. I'm sorry. But I think you need to know the reason I ruined our relationship. It wasn't about you. It was about me and my insecurities."
