Chapter 4

━━━━━━━━━

"Come on Bree. It's not that big of a deal. You dated Chase, so what? Now you like me and that's all that matters." Adam said as he wrapped his arms around me. I sighed happily into his chest. This was what I wanted. I know Adam and Leo think things are over with Chase and I, but I was about to fix that. I just wished I didn't have to hurt Chase. Adam was the one for me, and I hope Chase can understand that.

"Your right. But Adam?" I left off. It was always the worst to start a relationship with lies. That's how I started things with Chase. I didn't want to start this relationship the same way. I couldn't deal with the struggle for a second time.

"Bree, before you start, I know you and Chase are still dating. I just wanted to see if you would pick me in the end. And, you did. That's all I could ask for. Now your dating an almost college graduate. How does it feel?" Adam said in a winning tone. I smiled up at him. This was what I wanted. Right? I didn't have feelings for Chase anymore... Right?

"It feels..." I left off considering my options one last time. If I said yes to Adam, that meant letting go of Chase. I wasn't sure whether or not I was ready to do that. Chase had always been there for me, through my whole life, basically. Yes, Adam had been there for my whole college life, but that was different. Chase was different. Adam had this best guys friend feel to him. But Chase, Chase told me how things were right off the bat. He didn't beat around the bush. He complements me whenever he knows I don't feel right, so that I do feel better. He knows just how to treat me and he knows me, for me. I don't think Adam even knows me that well.

"How does it feel?" Adam asked, sounding concerned. He knew what I was thinking. And by the looks of it, he didn't like it.

"Um, actually. I think I have to go." I whispered, quickly detangling myself from Adam. I started to jog, I had to get home. I needed to see Chase before I made any irrational decisions. Chase would help me, he would know how I felt.

"Where do you think your going? You're with me now! Forget about him!" Adam yelled as he caught up to me and drug me back into him. I slammed back into his chest with a grunt. Chase would never do that. Chase would let me follow my heart. Not drag me back to a place I didn't want to be.

"Adam let me go!" I yelled as I attempted to rip my arm from his grip.

"Why should I if your just going to run back to him! I told you, you're with me now!" He yelled back.

"Because I have to end things with Chase." I mumbled back. Maybe he would let me go. I knew what I wanted now, and it surely wasn't this.

"I guess I should have seen this coming." Chase said from behind me. My face feel. I couldn't feel a thing. My whole body felt numb. Chase stood there looking like his heart had been ripped out while Adam held me back triumphantly. I shook my head quickly. This wasn't how things were supposed to end. I could stand the fact of knowing Chase and I ended this way. Especially when I was just using that excuse to run to him, not away from him.

"Chase, I made a mistake. I want to be with you! I always have." I tried to call over to him. But it was too late, Chase had made up his mind. He shook his head as he face continued to fall.

"You should have thought about that before you came here, with him. I never want to see you again, Bree! Go live with him! You two obviously deserve each other!" Chase yelled back to me. I could feel the tears streaming down my face. I wanted to yell and scream, and make sure the whole world knew what kind of sorrow I felt. But then the reminder of Adam appeared on my arm. He was leaving a bruise from his tight hold on me. I couldn't let Chase just leave like that. I needed him.

"Chase, wait!" I yelled while trying to break few from Adams death grip. I only said that so he'd let me go to Chase, I never meant for this to happen. Suddenly, Leo's words came back to my mind.

"I'm sorry, Bree. It's just the way it's supposed to be. What if you two broke up? You'd lose him forever."

And his words rained true. He felt the same way unlike Leo had thought. The only plot twist here, is I did lose Chase forever. Chase's figure began to fade into the night. I couldn't bear the thought of letting him walk away. I turned back to face Adam. He looked evil. He looked like he had won a prize, one he didn't even deserve.

"Why would you do that? I love Chase, and you know that!" I yelled up at him. I had hoped Chase would hear and come back for me. He stared intensely back at me. I tried to back away but he ended up just pulling me closer.

"You know, just mere minutes ago, you thought you wanted to be with me. Then, he showed up and changed your mind. What kind of girlfriend are you?" Adam yelled against my face. I shuttered at the closeness. This still didn't feel right.

"That's just the point, I'm not your girlfriend. I belong with Chase. Now let me go!" I yelled pulling on my own arm. He squeezed my arm tighter and tighter. I started to feel a bit faint. I had never lost the feeling in my whole left side before.

"Adam... You're... Hurting me." I mumbled as I felt myself falling to the ground. He laughed back down at me. As I glanced around, I could only see Adam. Chase had left already. There was no hope for me. This was how things were going to be. Through my confusion, I made one mistake. I lost Chase forever.
