CHAPTER 15 : CLOVER

I'm worried, very very worried, i need to know what happened to chase to make him so upset that he put his hand through a glass desk. I pick up my phone about a minute after he leaves and call my brother.

"Clover, what's wrong, is Chase okay?" He rushes out, I walk through into the kitchen and grab a mug out of one of the cupboards while I answer him.

"No, he put his hand through a glass desk two whole times, he was on the the phone to someone and then I heard this big crash and he started shouting, he was so upset Ace, I'm telling you" I take a breath "he was shaking"

"Shit" Ace curses and I hear some shuffling in the background "where is he now?"

"On his way to see you" I tell him and pour boiling water from the hot tap into my mug over my teabag. Tea always calms me down.

"Good"

"Do you know what happened?" I ask and Ace clears his throat over the phone.

"Yes, I was the one on the phone to him" I pause on my way to the sofa and scrunch my eyebrows.

"You, you're the one who made him so upset, you should be ashamed of yourself Ace Apollo King, I cou - I could freaking smack you right now" I say, grinding my molars.

"No it wasn't me that said something, I told him something" he reply's but that only confuses me more.

"What in the gum drops is going on"

"I got another letter clover" I suck in a breath and sit down on the couch.

"It had some stuff in it about Chase from when he was in the army, it said something real  fucked up too"

"Oh" what did this guy want with Chase?

"What did it say?"

"It's not my place to tell you clover, I don't even think Chase wants me to know, or anyone really" he says with a sigh and I nod my head slowly.

"Okay, is there anything I can do?"

"No, I don't think so" we sit in silence for a minute before he speaks again.

"I didn't realise this is what we were dealing with, it's more than what we first thought clover, you're in real danger here, I need you to understand that, please" my heart bangs against my chest and I take a deep breath.

"You think I don't know that, this guy shot me Ace, now he's finding out things about Chase in the army, who is the person, what does he want?"

"Ive got to go clover, I'll talk to you soon okay, I love you"

"Love you too" he hangs up and I sit there for a minute trying to calm myself down.

I turn on the television and wait for Chase. Suddenly every little sound has me turning around to check nobody is in the room with me. In the end I go and sit in the corner of the room with a thick blanket and stare at the door. I start to drift off but a loud bang jolts me awake.

Suddenly very alert I press on the underside of the table in the middle of the room, a small box pops out and a gun drops into my hand. Chase has a few of these around the house, hidden, but he showed me where they all are. I hold it pointing at the door and click off the safety.

The door knob twists and I put my finger on the trigger, my breathing gets rapid as I wait for the person to come in. It's not Chase, he would've shouted out to me to let me know it's him.

The door is opened a fraction and someone breaths heavily through the gap.

"Found you" I intake a big gasp of air as the voice reaches my ears. I don't know the person on the other side of that door. Frozen in place and ready to shoot if they come through into the room I wait for what they will do next.

After what feels like hours but is probably only a few minutes heavy footsteps retreat back down the hall and I hear the elevator doors ping open.

"Lock the door next time, or someone could come in" the man says loud enough for me to hear. A tear slips down my cheek and I stay sat like that with the gun pointing at the door and my finger on the trigger.

Who was he? Wa he my stalker? I had forgotten to lock the doors to the elevator when Chase left, I rang Ace so fast that I didn't even cross my mind. Stupid.

A while later the doors ping open once again. I sit up straighter and watch the door. Footsteps come down the hall towards me.

"Clover!" I relax at the sound of chases voice. He pushes the door open and his eyes widen as he finds me sat with the gun.

"What happened?" A worried look covers his features and he walks toward me slowly.

"A man came in chase, he stood at the door and told me that he'd 'found me' and then left and told me to lock the door" chases expression turns from worried to anger in a matter of seconds.

"Fuck, I shouldn't have left you here alone" he takes the gun off me and puts it back in the little box.

"No it's okay, I'm fine look!" I stand up and do a little spin but he doesn't find it very amusing, he gives me a blank stare and shakes his head.

"Cool cool cool"

"Did he say nothing else?" Chase grunts out and I shake my head.

"I didn't recognize the voice at all" I add on and he sighs and runs a hand down his face.

"Sorry" I say quietly, he sends me a harsh glare and I look to the ground .

"Stop being fucking sorry for everything clover" he says harshly and turns his back on me. Okay Mr grumpy.

He lifts the phone to his ear and walks out the room. So much for a friendly conversation.
