Chapter 18

━━━━━━━━━

(POV) Bree

Chase and I walked into a fancy restaurant that was a couple blocks away from the mall.

"After you, malady." Chase said sweetly as he motioned for me to walk in while he held the door. I smiled shyly at him.

"Thank you." I said. When he was through the door, he grabbed my hand and gently pulled me to a secluded table that had a reserved sign sitting on it. "You got us reservations?" I asked. No one had ever gotten me reservations at a fancy restaurant before.

"Anything for you. I want this night to be special." Chase replied as he smiled back at me and pulled out my seat. We sat down and ordered our food. After the waiter left, Chase turned to me and grabbed my hand from across the table.

"Bree... These past few years have been amazing. I can't think of anyone else I would rather be sitting here with." I blushed as he looked deep into my eyes. I hoped I knew where this was going.

"I hope you know that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Before you came into my life, I was a fake. My friends weren't really there for me. But then you came. You changed me. You knew the real me before I even knew him myself." Chase went on. I looked up as Chase rose from his seat.

He came over to my side of the table. He got down on one knee and took both my hands in his.

"Bree... Will you marry me?" As he said those magical words, he took a box out of his pocket. There, sat a ring that I never thought I would be able to see in person (Bree's ring is at the top).

"Chase this is amazing. I can't think of anyone that I would rather-" I tried to pour my heart and soul out to him but someone stopped me.

"Chase!! Wait! You can't marry her! I'm still in love with you!" As soon as I heard this, my heart stopped. This can not be happening.

"Danielle? What are you doing here?" Chase asked as he stood up and slipped my engagement ring back into his pocket.

"Chase... You can't marry her. You have to know that I still love you. And that kiss that we had yesterday made me-" Danielle continued.

"Wait?! What kiss!!" I stated as I stood up. I thought we had been in love. He had set all of this up for me!

"Oh, Bree. I'm so sorry. I can't marry you. Truth be told I am still in love with Danielle. Danielle, will you marry me?" Chase said as he turned his attention away from me and over to Danielle. He pulled the ring back out and put it on her bony little finger.

"Yes Chase! Of course I will marry you!" Danielle cried as Chase pulled her in for a kiss.

"No! Chase how could you do this to me! I thought that you loved me!" I was crying so hard I don't even think my statement was audible anymore. I ran out crying. The love of my life pretty much stabbed me in the back.

"Bree! Bree wake up honey." Tasha whispered to me. I shot up in a terror at the sound of her voice.

"What! What happened. I mean, um... What's up Tasha?" I stammered. Oh thank god... It was only a dream. I couldn't have bared that otherwise.

"I heard you scream and when I came in, you were crying." Tasha explained. I lifted my hand up to my face and immediately I felt the tears still falling down my face. It scared me so bad to have almost lost him. Now I know I'm in love with him. At first I didn't really know. I thought I just said it so I could have him until I knew for sure. But now, I know. I'm crazy in love with Chase.
