Chapter 17- Until the Very End

Lester stops the car right in front of the house. He gets out and so does Chase and both men stay by the car for awhile before anyone talked.
" nice house"
" thanks" said Chase dully with no time in he's voice. Lester looked at him for a whole before Lester spoke again.
" hey listen, I didn't want to be a part of her games, I just got scared, I feared my life and for a while I thought it was just a prank, a set up but I was wrong... Hey aren't you bionic?" He said changing the subject quickly before this conversation got awkward. Chase nods his head and gives a half hearted smile as he crosses he's arms into he's chest.
" that must be amazing" added Lester
" well if you say it like that" said Chase.

The night wasn't getting any younger and Chase was beginning to feel cold.
" I think you should get inside mate, or you'll freeze to death"
" yeah sure"
Chase leaned forward and was once again standing straight. He shivered a bit but didn't cared; he's mind was on other things right now.
" hey, don't you want to wash off the blood, so you know to not give your family a heart attack or something?" Said Lester. Chase eyed him and he's smile fades and he turns slowly at he's heels.
" they've got other things to worry about" said Chase as he turn back round and went up to the door and knocked at the door.

The door swung open so fast that it didn't make a sound. Soon arms had flung themselves around he's neck hugging him tight. Chase heard tears and realised that the person was or had been crying.
"Where have you been ? We've been searching for you all day" cried Bree but he wasn't going to pretend to be  happy, to be someone he was not, so he simply shoved her away and headed for bed. Without looking a the words that left he's lips was something that made their hearts break.
" You didn't come looking for us; if you did then she would have been here right now"
Donald and the others didn't know what he meant until it was too late and still it didn't made anything better only worse.

The next day was silent and there was no noise, no sound and there definitely no use of communication. Breakfast was eaten in their rooms, social time were always kept limited and lunch as well as dinner was the same as breakfast.
" I don't know what's wrong with him, he hasn't talked to us for a whole two days" said Leo who sat down eating breakfast. Nobody looked at him or spoke to him but he tried to make it work, he tried to stay positive and talk to them once in awhile but the pain and the grief was working he's way to he's heart and he couldn't stop the pain in he's system.
" are you alright? Do you need anything?" Asked Tasha as she sat by him. Chase was hoping in and out from grief to hopefulness, and despite all the people there for him, he couldn't  face the facts.
she's gone, you know it. Let go.
Maria isn't coming back. Just let go.
But how could he? He gotten them in this mess, he was going to get them out of it, till the very end.

Chase was looking trough the letter sent to him from Maria's father. The letters that gave him hope and yet fear at the same time. The letter all said the same thing: " she's not getting better, but I'm trying. Keep hoping my friend"
This was somehow not good enough for he wanted more and he wanted him to do something; he was too busy thinking about her and the guilt that he didn't realised that he was clutching the letter way to hard in he's hands.
" darling, your clenching the letter too tightly" said Tasha, her hand trying to calm but Chase thought he should quickly remove he's hand from her hold but he declined that idea.

He allowed Tasha to loosen he clenched hand. Yet that touch was too familiar and only a few seconds in and he flinched the hand away; it reminded him of her. It reminded of him too much of her, well basically everything was her; from the walls to the sofa to the living space, everything was her.
" I'm fine, that's all, um..."
" no, your not fine, just please tell us, it's okay we're here for you, just tell us what happened" she said her voice becoming calmer. So after the long wait, Chase finally spoke up, with all the guilt and grief mixing all into one. He told her about them, how they were captured by Linda, how she did something to him, how the rest was blurry and how he and Maria fought and him not listening to her signs, her warnings, her voice. He didn't realise until it was too late. All the emotions coming back to him, all the memories coming back and all the " I love you's" and " goodbyes" was all too much and broken down crying. He cried on her shoulders while going back to clenching the letter in he's hand. Tasha was beginning to cry too, her hands wrapping around him, trying to making the pain go away but it didn't, soon Donald came in followed by the rest of the family. They sat around them where they all began to cry as much as they did and they all hugged each other for comfort.
" she will get better, just him, don't worry"
They for some bizarre reason they all started laughing, remembering the good old days, the days that had meaning, that had value. The memories where the good ones and it just reminded them that it isn't good to dwell the pain but to remember the good days and live life to the fullest. To Chase, he would still have hope and to never give in to the monsters lurking inside. He must stay with himself and give her the fighting chance to survive.
This isn't a fairytale, you could either lose her or she could have you back. Have hope. Have no fear. She'll be fine, I promise.
