feat. Fool in Love by Rihanna

My dad became hysterical when he knew what happened. He blamed the entire fault to Chase. Both my parents forbade me to see Chase. But because I am hard headed, I secretly meet Chase sometimes.

Chase doesn't live in his apartment near the school anymore. He moved in a condominium unit owned by his father. The location of his new place is quite far from the school and from our neighborhood so we both think we are safe to meet there.

"Chase, are you angry with me?" I asked him while I brush his long hair with my fingers. I sometimes miss doing this to him.

"No I'm not. You know how much I love you babe." He held my face and pulled it gently towards him to kiss me. "I am just glad that you are okay. I am happy because nothing formed."

Yes it is true. I didn't get pregnant after what had happened. We are very terrified before, because we all know that something like that might occur.

"May I ask, what if..." I wanted to know how much Chase loves me, "what if I got pregnant by Polo?"

"I don't want to hear that name again," he looks irritated. "But if that happened to you, I'll take responsibility even if it is not my child. I don't want you let you go."

Tears started to form at the sides of my eyes. I am very happy to hear those words from Chase. That is why I really love Chase despite his imperfections. We stayed a little longer in our positions even though we are doing nothing and is not talking about something. I broke the silence.

"The semester is almost finished. Your suspension will be over soon. I am excited to see you back at school." I said to Chase.

"I think I will not be going back the next semester." Chase got up from lying. He stood facing away from me.

"What are you going to do?" I asked Chase.

"I wanted to find a job, a job that can suffice the things that I need, the things that we need." Chase turned around to face me. "I want you to come with me."

I hugged Chase tightly and I started to cry. I didn't understand why I cried. My emotions are indefinite. A part of me is happy but a part of me is somewhat afraid, afraid of the things unknown.

Chased wrapped his arms around me and hugged a bit tight for a response. He then held both my cheeks then he kissed me on the forehead, then on my lips. "We will be together forever Sam. I will promise you that I will never ever let you go."

The semester finally ended and the suspension of Chase and William are now lifted. However, Chase already decided not to enroll the next semester. He entered as a call center agent. Chase is very fluent in speaking that's why he the job is somewhat easy for him. He is also good in words and is very persuasive so he found his life at his job fun.

Months after, Chase finally said to me the same words he uttered before, "I want you to come with me." Chase said that he had saved enough for the both of us. He will make sure that he will take care of me and will not let me suffer as I live with him. I trusted his words so I agreed. We then planned our move.

As I was having an afternoon coffee with Mitty at some small café, I accidentally told her our plan of running away.

"Are you insane?" Mitty shouted.

"Hey, don't make a fuss! Someone might hear you." I whispered.

"But you are already out of your mind. Your parents will never forgive you if you do such thing."

"I know, I know. I just don't know what to do anymore. I really love Chase. I wanted to be him for the rest of my life."

Mitty sip a little from the cup of coffee she was holding. "You better think again. There is no turning back with those kinds of decisions."

"Just don't ever tell anybody my plan. I trust you Mitty." Mitty did not say anything. But I know that she will never tell anybody. She is my best friend after all.

The promised night came. I am somewhat shaky while having dinner with my parents. There is a heavy atmosphere pressing against us. I can't eat more than a spoonful because of the nervous feeling I felt inside me.

"Why aren't you eating?" Dad asked.

"I am not that hungry." I replied. I stood up and excused myself. I really can't eat.

My mom stood and asked me, "Why are you disobeying us?" I saw tears are slowly rolling down her cheeks.

I didn't utter a single word. I looked away from my parents.

Mom quickly walked towards me held both my hands and told me, "don't you dare run away with that idiot."

I struggled to free my hands from mom's grip and shouted, "But mom, I love him!"

I felt my mom's hand as she slapped my face. I looked at my dad who is not looking at me. I went to my room and locked myself. I wasn't thinking straight anymore.

I grabbed a bag and placed all things that would fit in. Clothes, dress, underwear, and whatever my hand would grab. I cannot zip the bag so I threw back some unimportant things.

I grabbed a pen and a paper and I started to write down a letter to my parents.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I love you and I'm sorry but I need to leave. I love Chase and I know he loves me. You may think that he is not the right person for me, but I think he is the perfect man.

I have been following you for how many years already. This time, I wanted to follow my heart.

Again, I'm sorry and I love you.

Love,

Samantha

Tears were falling as I wrote my letter for them. I folded the paper in half and left the letter at my desk.

I waited for Chase's call. My phone rang around midnight. I slowly opened my window and find Chase. He is down in our garden. I threw my bag to him.

I slowly went out of my room through the window. I grabbed the branch of the tree. I held it tight and I jumped. The next thing I know is that, Chase caught me.

"The car is at the next street. We should leave before anybody sees us." Chase said while he stands me up on the ground.

We tiptoed until we reached our gate. Then, we ran crazily to his car. Chase started the engine and drove the car away from the neighborhood.

Chase and I are now free. Free to live our life. Free to do whatever we want to do.

"I love you babe." he said as he grabbed my hand and kissed it.

"I love you more." I smiled to him.

I am a FOOL... in love.
