Chase Matthews was arriving to the airport of Louisiana. He had a tired look and was dressed in black clothes. He quickly grabbed his suitcases and exited the building as he looked around for an available taxi. Chase started to feel, small drops of rain falling, but Fortunately for him, a taxi parked in front of him and pulled his window down.
"You need a ride?". The taxi man asked.
"Yeah...". Chase said as he took his cellphone out. "Can you drive me to this direction?". Chase asked, giving his phone to he man. He looked at the phone and then back at Chase.
"Sure. Let me help you get your luggage on the bumper". The man said as he stepped out of his car and returned phone back to Chase. He opened the bumper and placed the suitcase in it with a hand bag he was carrying.
"There, now lets get going". The taxi man said as he and Chase got in the taxi and drove off.
The drive took like fifteen minutes. Chase got out and grabbed his luggage. He went up to the driver as he pulled his window down.
"Thanks for the ride".
"No problem. You take care". The man told Chase and drove off. He waved and turned the place he place Michael had texted him. Before he came to Louisiana Chase was in his hometown New York, working for the most important institution of lawyers. While he was on a meeting today, he had a call from Michael telling him that Zoey's husband had died on a car accident, and that she might need the whole gang, mostly him. So after he finished the meeting, he took the next available plane to Louisiana and there he was, standing outside the funeral building.
He took a big breath and walked inside. He passed a long hallway until he found a room, full of people, where he saw Lola holding a baby with Vince, Lisa with Michael, Logan with Quinn who held a little girls hand and a bunch of other people. He took another look, and saw a woman crying on the coffin. He instantly recognize her as Zoey Brooks. Chase placed his stuff on the wall and entered the room. Everyone was having their own conversations, when Michael notice him. He tapped everyone and pointed towards Chase. They all cheered up a little and made their way towards him.
"Chase you came". Michael said surprised as he shook hands with him.
"Yeah, I felt that Zoey might need us". Chase said.
Everyone gave Chase a warmth welcome hug. Chase looked at Lola carrying the baby and Quinn with the little girl.
"Wow you already have kids". Chase asked surprised.
Everyone gave each other a funny look and then turned to see Chase.
"No, no, no, this here is Zoey's baby. He was born a couple of days ago". Lola explained.
"And this here is Zoey's 6 year old daughter Brigit". Quinn added.
"Oh, sorry for the mix-up". Chase said a little bit embarrassed.
"It's okay". Both girls said smiling. Chase turned his attention to where Zoey was and their friends notice it.
"You should go and see if you can calm Zoey". Lisa suggested.
"And what makes you think that I'll be able to calm her down?". Chase asked.
"Because your Chase, her best friend. She trusts you, so go on". Logan said as he pushed him towards Zoey.
He slowly walked to where Zoey was and stopped behind her, placing a hand on her shoulder. She looked at the hand that lay on her shoulder, and turned around. She was surprised to see the man standing in front of him.
"Chase?". She asked in a whispered.
"I'm sorry for your loss Zoey". Chase said with a soft look on his face.
