The Girls With The Plans

Please don't Cry

The song above is called Mythical Hero and it is so beautiful. It is very emotional the instrumental and I thought would match the chapter further towards the end. I highly recommend listening to it closer to the end of the chapter ;)

Chase POV

I glanced at Skylar one last time, building up enough strength to shove Rodissius and I into the fire line. I pushed Skylar out of the way before feeling a burst of pain explode in my chip.
" FATHER!" Razor cried and the entire team ran towards us.

Skylar POV

Everything was numb. Everything was painless. Yet I could feel the burning of fire strike through my veins. My eyes were shut and only the slightest of light rays penetrated through the dark. I could feel the presence of people surrounding me, the cold hands of someone traced upon my arm. Only the quietest of voices in which I could hear, sounded so muffled, yet they felt so close. Suddenly I feel my body jolt up, my eyes forced open as the fluorescent lights blinded them.
" Skylar!" a voice bellowed, I looked away from the light burying my head into my shoulder.
My blurred vision soon cleared, we were in the infirmary part of mission command.
Oliver appeared right next to me, his hands supporting my back.
" Skylar are you ok?" He asked, panic seeping through his voice
I looked up at him. I could feel the warm tears that were trapped in my eyes drizzle down my check. Oliver's stroked his hands across my arm as he positioned me into a proper sitting position.
" Ol..Oliver." I croaked looking up at him
" Shhh, it's ok." Oliver hushed pulling me into a hug.
" Mr Davenport!" He cried
Mr Davenport soon came trotting in, his eyes full of panic and his hands shaking vigorously.
" Skylar, you're awake."He exclaimed rushing towards me
" How do you feel? Are you feeling pain in any way shape or form?" He asked rather quickly.
I shook my head slowly, trying to get a single word out but I failed to say anything.
Mr Davenport locked eyes with me, lightly pressing against my bruised flesh.
" Does that hurt?"
I shook my head again.
" Ok Skylar you seem ok... now I have to go.."
" How is Chase?" Oliver asked abruptly
I instantly darted my eyes towards Mr Davenport.
" What happened to Chase." I finally spoke up, flinging my legs over the side of the bed.
Mr Davenport looked at me concerned, as if he were hiding something.
" No...nothing, he's fine just unconscious." He stuttered
" Mr Davenport you're lying. You're lips are quivering in fear tell me what has happened...What's wrong with Chase? " I snapped
He darted his eyes from me to Oliver several times before he finally spoke up.
" Chase has sustained some serious injuries. When he pushed you out of the way and  absorbed the power of the force, severe damage fried his chip and has now also threatened his chances of waking up.
My eyes widened in pure fear as I jumped to my feet and raced down the hall. There in the last room of the infirmary was Chase, unconscious on his bed, with Bree and Kaz right next to him.
Tears pricked my eyes as I looked from Bree to Chase, his bruised face and pained state struck my heart harder than any force.
" Cha...Chase." I ran towards his bed, tracing my hand across his skin.
Bree and Kaz exchanged sympathetic looks with me before exiting the room and closing the door shut.
I looked at Chase once again, his chest moving up and down to a shaky rhythm while his eyes were glued shut with the tinted colour of purple flushing over them.
I pressed my hand gently against his skin, flinching with my own movements as the vicious scars felt like the jagged edge of a knife.
" Chase... Chase can you hear me?" I choked, feeling my heart quicken with every glance I saw of him.
" From what I could gather, Chase has suffered major injury to his chip and if he were to wake up he would most likely lose his bionics. " Mr Davenport walked up to me, placing his hand on my shoulder.
I didn't look back, I just started at Chase.
" What do you mean, if he wakes up?" I asked simply, but the pain behind my words were evident.
Mr Davenport released a heavy sigh before grabbing my hand and leading me closer to Chase.
" I'm going to show you something, but you have to promise not to freak out, ok?"
I simply nodded, the feeling of anxiousness taking control of my body while the trembling of Mr Davenports hand shook within in my own.
Pushing gently on Chase's bruised flesh, he turned Chase's head around to reveal the back of his neck, only it looked far from what It should look like. Red, scarring lines extended from the location of his chip and stretched up his necks like veins on a hand.
I gasp at the sight, a shiver of pain striking up my spine.
" It's worse than it looks. I have Douglas flying down some supplies in hope that we can save him in time... But it's... It's not looking good." He whispered the last part, his voice raspy, gripping to a sense of fear.
I looked up at him, a mix of sadness and pain pegging my heart, but above all anger. Ripping my hand out of Mr Davenports, I glared him down.
" How could you say that?" I hushed
He looked at me through his blood shot, red eyes partially confused.
" Of coarse Chase will wake up he.... He would never leave  you. he would never leave Adam, Leo or Bree. He would never leave the team." I glanced down at my hand that was now resting on Chase's.
" He would never leave me." I choked starring at him, his eyes showing he felt partially shameful.
" Mr Davenport it's no use... Douglas has tried to gather up some equipment to help Chase but there is nothing. Nothing can fix the amount of damage to his chip." Bree yelled abruptly, barging into the room. Her eyes were black with exhaustion and she had clearly been crying from the tear stains that had streamed down her face.
" Bree..." She ran up to me and hugged me tight followed by Kaz and Oliver walking in.
" I need him to wake up... I can't imagine losing him again. I need my brother back." Bree sobbed uncontrollably
I hugged her tight, knowing all too well how she felt. 
" Roman, Riker, Razor and Rodissius have been locked up. Rodissius is still passed out and they are all being closely monitored. " Kaz informed Mr Davenport.
Suddenly a frightening gasp captured our attention. We all turned to Chase who's body shook violently and he choked for air.
" What's happening?"
" He is unstable... The veins are stretching further up his neck and they are now appearing on his arms. We are running out of time!" Mr Davenport exclaimed.
" Kaz, Oliver come with me I need you guys to help find something to help us. Bree please you need to rest as well you don't look well at all." Mr Davenport said.
" I'm not just going to sit around and do nothing!" Bree exclaimed
" Bree and I will go check for things that might help us up stairs. You and Oliver stay down here and try to find something." Kaz suggested, as they all nodded.
" Skylar... Will you be ok?" Oliver asked concerned
" I'll be fine." I smiled slightly, before they all left the room.
I raced to Chase's bed side trying to settle him down, his shaking coming to an end. I gripped my hand around his, his hand shaking ever so slightly.
" Chase... Chase can you hear me?" I leaned my ear on his chest. Pulling myself into the chair, I held both his hands in my own glancing down at his lips hoping to here say a single word escape them.
" Chase I don't have much memory of what happened... But I know from the start that you have always been a fighter... And I still love you for it. You have this light that stands out brighter than  anything I have ever seen. You made me feel human. You made me feel....Chase I can't imagine being in a world without you, which is why you have to pull through. You have to show me that you are ok. You have to come back for your father, for the team, for Bree... Your brothers. I need you to come back so that I can feel alive. You saved me from Razor's blast... But seeing you in this state hurts more than any obstacle anyone could ever throw at me. Chase as I hold your hand right now I need you to open your eyes and promise me that... That you will stay with me. Promise me that we will see that sunrise again. Promise me that you will never leave me. " Tears flooded my face and emotions ran through me faster than anything before.
" Chase please don't leave me." My lips quivered in fear as I squeezed his hand tighter and cried into his chest.
I didn't want to believe something so awful could actually happen, but as each agonising second passed by I felt my hope fading.
I felt the light from the sun turning to ash.
I felt my heart split into two.
A gentle squeeze returned mine, the feeling of fingers traced along mine.
" Sk....Skylar." I quickly wiped my tears away, a smile spreading across my face as I looked at Chase, only his eyes were closed.
" Hey.. Hey Sky, are you ok?" His voice broke into whispers
" I'm great... I'm actually so much better now that you are here.. just... Can you open your eyes?" I asked, a shimmer of hope sparking within me.
" Sky... I can't. There is too much pain..  I need you to do.... To do something.. For.. Me" he struggled to talk, between his breaths.
" Yes anything of course anything!" I exclaimed leaning closer into his ear.
He breathed heavily, sucking in a gulp of air. I traced my fingers along the red veins that were stretching up his neck, while trying to get closer to him.
" Tell the others I love them... and I love you Skylar..."
" Chase.. Why? What?... Chase what are you talking about?" My eyes were growing in fear.
" Hey..shhh....Skylar stop shaking everything is going to be fine..."
" No it's not!" I cut him off.
" Chase you're dying... You're dying because of me!" I exclaimed
" Skylar..stop blaming yourself. I would do it all over again just to make sure you are safe. Skylar I love you... Even when I'm in a state of pain you make me feel alive." His raspy voice coughed.
The room was filled with the song of my sobbing and sniffing as Chase's grip around my hand grew weaker.
" Skylar.. Before I go... I need to tell you something."
" Chase don't say that... We... We are going to get through this. You will pull through." I continue to sob, my tears becoming thicker.
" Just listen Skylar.... At the start of this entire situation... You were scared because you couldn't control your powers... Now you can. Don't let fear control you. Don't become a victim to your own self doubt. Promise me that." I nod with every word, our hands still interlocked with each other's.
--------------------------------
( I suggest play the music now. The first 30 seconds of the instrumental really suits this part)
---------------------------------
" I will!" I cry even harder
He gasped for air several times, his breathing suddenly becoming very shallow.
" And one more thing." He whispered, yet the words seemed to echo in my heart for an eternity.
I leaned closer, our faces only inches apart from each other. Our lips touched and an explosion of emotion bursted in my veins. This kiss was different. This kiss was real. I brought his hands to my face, feeling his warm touch comfort me despite the feeling  despair in the situation. As we pulled apart from the kiss, his gentle voice brushed against my skin. One. Last. Time.
" Please don't cry."
