Chapter 10

━━━━━━━━━

I walked at first. I was hating the fact that I had to leave Chase behind once again. I couldn't do it. I turned around at least twenty times until I hit the border. I felt the tears streaming down my face as I glanced back for the last time. Chase was back there, by himself once again. I had thought things would be different.

When he told me that it was him, that I had been falling for him again over these past few days, I felt happy. Happy for the first time in two years. I had been wishing that he would appear again in my life. That we could forget what happened between the two of us, and move on. That we could someday have that big house in the suburbs with the white picket fence. That we could be happy together, for once.

I was hoping we could push aside the fact that we were brother and sister. Forget the looks we would receive if anyone found out. But I was the one who forgot something along on the little journey we had taken together. Chase was all facts. He can't push them away, no matter how hard he tries.

I shook away the thought as I stood there, watching the woods. Willing them to bring Chase out for me. But it would never happen, no matter how long I waited. I wanted to be able to see him everyday of the rest of my life. I wanted to be able to wake up in his arms every morning, and to fall asleep with the feeling of him next to me every night. I couldn't simply walk away from all my hopes and dreams for the two of us. But I had to forget. I had to move on. Chase evidently had to as well. He didn't seem exactly thrilled to hear that I was forcing myself to leave. But he also didn't fight too hard for me to stay.

I closed my eyes as I breathed in the sent of the woods for the last time, stepping out into the road to see the cars whirling by at the quickest speeds I had ever seen. Other than the speeds I could travel myself, of course. I let my hand rest on my neck above my chip, forcing myself not to look back one last time. He wouldn't be there. He never would. I had to accept that, and go home.

I nodded to myself before making sure there were no more cars whizzing by at this late hour. I sighed and ran, I ran across the street and down the sides of the highway as I sped home with all my strength. I raced inside the now empty Davenport mansion before slamming the door shut behind me. I felt the tears streaming down my face once more as I slid down the front door to the floor. I reached down and pulled my shoes off, throwing them as far as I could from me. I wanted no memory of what happened this week. I wanted to forget that Chase and I were together. I wanted to erase everything. How had he made it that long anyway? I was running on E without my capsule this week, and he still looked fine from what I could tell.

I let my hands cover my face as the sobs began escaping my lips again. I held my hair back as my face slowly soaked itself in my tears. I missed him. I wanted to be able to wake up tomorrow in those stupid woods next to the love of my life. I wanted to-

Ring!

I groaned trough my cries as I stood and walked shakily over to the phone. I picked it up to see Tasha was calling.

I took in a deep breath as I tried to calm myself. She couldn't know anything was wrong.

"Hey." I answered with the most fake happy voice I could muster. Tasha sighed on the other side of the phone, sounding almost relieved.

"Thank god! I've been calling you and Donald for three days now only for it to go to voicemail. What has been going on?" Tasha screeched worriedly. She could hear right through my act. Again, I've never been the best lier.
