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

The day of the meeting was upon us. . .I had spent the entire day yesterday stressing about this meeting today. . .Something my friends, boy friend and my own dad noticed. . .And proceeded to press me about.

Felix was the only one I told the truth to. . .The others got different, but watered down explanations instead.

The 'talk' dad had planned to have with me yesterday was derailed as he had to stay late at work.

In his rush to get home in time for us to have a small little birthday party with a tiny gas station cake, he forgot completely about the talk.

Two things I am grateful for. . .

Felix had been hesitant about this meeting. . .But despite me insisting he didn't have to go with me, he was determined to 'fix everything'.

It was sweet. . .Most likely doomed to fail. . .But sweet.

The day passed in a mildly anxious state, the hours ticking by in a slow and painful manner, allowing me far too much time to think this all over with all my sweet, lovely, stressed thoughts.

Come three o'clock, I was already at the park, scoping out the area, my friends having gathered intel throughout the day to ensure this wasn't some needlessly elaborate trap from Chase.

I was a bit more. . .Cautious in regards with him at the moment. . .For what I felt were. . .Fair reasons.

Still so very sore and stiff. . .

There were no traps. . .No suspicious characters we didn't already know. . .No cops setting up nearby for an attack.

It was just. . .A normal park. . .

Strange. . .

When five finally rolled around, I was no closer to answers on what the game plan was. . .But I was very intrigued.

There is a good chance he honestly just wishes to speak. . .In which case, he should be given the benefit of the doubt.

''Ashy? Do I look okay? Do-'' Felix started to fuss for the seventh time since four thirty when I went to fetch him from his home.

He had been worrying about anything and everything under the sun. . .Still was if his anxious hand wringing was anything to go by.

''Sweet heart, You look fine, you don't stink, your hair looks nice, you don't have anything on your face or in your teeth, if they get mad at you we will leave. If you feel uncomfortable, we will leave. If you no longer feel like hanging out here, we will leave. Breath, it's okay'' I interrupted quietly, pausing to gently grab and move both his hands apart as I spoke.

My sweet boyfriend blinked a few times before smiling sheepishly, his face earning a pink tint to it.

''Sorry'' He whispered, the blush on his face darkening.

''You've got nothing to be sorry for. . .Would you like a mome-'' I started to assure him before our quiet moment was rudely interrupted by a familiar grumble off to the right, drawing my attention towards three approaching men.

Damn it. It's Chase.

I didn't hear whatever he was grumbling, but based upon the look the blacked haired man next to him was giving him. . .It probably wasn't nice. . .

We haven't even spoken yet. . .

Shifting slightly, I moved so Felix was shielded behind me as I felt his hands grip onto the flannel shirt I was wearing as the three men stopped in front of me.
