Broken Heart (Chase Brody X Reader)

~ Chapter Fifteen : HeartBeat ~

         I finally was released from the hospital, and was done with all the police officers and reports. I could finally go home, to my apartment. Chase was going to stay with me for a bit to make sure that I was POSITIVELY okay. He's the sweetest. Olivia was also going to be staying with me, because Chase now has full custody of her....a lot can happen in four years, I guess? I was hoping the apartment wasn't to much of a mess. My arms were wrapped in cloth to protect the burns from getting infected or injured even more. I was glad they didn't wrap the whole arm, or I'd look like a robot. I giggled at myself on that one. "Alright. Livy, can you grab (Y/N)'s bags? I'll help her inside." Olivia nodded sweetly and followed her father command. I scoffed playfully, "Chase, I can get into my own apartment by myself." Chase tisked me and continued to gently pull me into my apartment, "The doctors said that you can't be straining yourself. And they said that you need to relax from the trauma." "Trauma?" I giggled, "What trauma?!" He rolled his eyes and settled me onto my bed, "You were kidnapped for four years, (Y/N). I don't even know what happened, but I know the Clay brothers more than anything, and I hope they rot in that jail cell." I sighed in comfort, I was finally in my own bed after so many years. "Dad, where do you want me to put them?" Olivia asked quietly. I smiled brightly at her, "You can just set it right there, sweetie." Olivia returned my smile, "Do you want anything?" I shook my head and watched as she left the room, shutting the door behind her. "What happened to the baby? To Willow?" I asked. "Well. I returned her to her family-her grandparents to be exact. Then, after that, Robin, Mark, and I were trying to find where they took you." Chase explained, "What happened to you when you were there?" "Well. I just served as a maid. And a sex toy sometimes, but it was never anything jurassic. James always stopped Justin before he could even try and....touch me like that. James was always my hero." I sighed happily and grabbed Chase's hand, "Then, I was scared that I'd never see you again, so when I saw you at the auction, I felt like I was saved." He looked at me sympathetically and opened his mouth to speak, but then shut it in fear. He shook his head and smiled at me, "You should get some rest. I'm sure there will be some people coming over wanting to see you." I returned his smile and tucked myself into the duvet, releasing a pleased sigh as I slowly drifted off into sleep.
Images of Justin flashed through my mind, making my body toss and turn in my sleep. I whimpered as he pulled his fist back, his smirk never leaving his face, "You're going to be the perfect toy." "(Y/N)!" A panicked voice made me jump from my current state, it was just Chase. With wide eyes, I stared at him as he eyes scanned over me. "You kept moving and whimpering, what were you dreaming about?" He asked gently, running a pale hand through my (H/C) hair. I let out a shaky breath for my nerves were all over the place, "It was Justin." Was all I could stutter out. Chase nodded knowingly and caressed my cheek, "He can't hurt you here, Hipster. You're safe here." "Chase? Is she up yet?" Another voice called. Chase smirked at me and carefully pulled me up from the bed, "People are here to see you." I gulped deeply, exiting my room to find some of my friends standing there. Chloe leaned onto Max as she smiled at me, "Nice to see that you're alive." "Chloe. Don't be so hard on her." Max warned quietly. I smiled weakly and wrapped my arms around the couple. (I don't ship Max and Chloe, but in this book I will. I really like Max and Warren.) "Thanks again for coming." Chase smiled. Robin handed me a little box, which was labeled 'Don't Open Till The Ship Sailed'. I was confused by the title, and still smiled and happily took it. "How are you feeling?" Robin rubbed my shoulder gently, "Is Chase treating you right?" "I feel much better being back in my home. And I'm glad that I'm safe. With Chase." I mumbled the last part. Chase ran a pale hand through my hair and gently kissed my forehead, in a friendly manner I'm guessing... . Robin smirked at us, "Can you two please go out already-" "Robin! Look at the time!" Chloe interrupted, "I think we should go, it's a bit late. They should get some sleep!" "But we just got here-" "Chloe is right! It's been a long day for them. Come on Robin." Max pushed Robin out of this house, Chloe trailing behind. I giggled, "That was a mess." Chase suddenly pulled me into a tight embrace, his breath trembling as he released it. "Chase?" My voice was muffled by his clothing and his tight grip on my waist, he was scared to let go. Soon, tears began to flow from his eyes, and moans of pain escaped his lips as he clutched tighter onto my fragile body. I was trembling under his touch. He was so warm and comforting, yet his was breaking right under my touch at the same time. "I never want you to leave again, (Y/N)." His breath quivered, "I hated waking up without you somewhere near me... . I couldn't h-handle it." I gently pulled away and stared into his bright blue eyes, my fingers wrapping around the helm of his red long sleeve shirt. He looked away from me, as if he was disappointed. I closed my eyes and let out a shaky sigh, quickly pulling the shirt off of his built body. Opening my eyes, I found pale, thin lines running all over his waist line, and I could tell they would go lower. I choked quietly as I ran my hand over his stomach, he did this because of me. Suddenly, a hand was placed on my chin. Chase lifted my face up to make eye contact, and slowly I rose to my feet. "Don't blame yourself for this. I let myself fall down a dark hole. I let myself get this bad." Chase explained. He bit his lip, caressing my cheek, "I love you, (Y/N). I thought I lost you. I thought that I was never going to be able to tell you that I loved you... ." He gently and slowly leaned in, his lips almost brushing against mine. "I love you." He whispered. Slowly, his lips crashed into mine, and an explosion of fireworks and butterflies erupted in my stomach. His lips were so gently, and soft...I wanted to stay there forever, but it ended. To soon, in fact. "I love you too." I whispered, my eyes flashing between his lips and his eyes again. He smiled weakly, "You seem tired, Love. Let's get to sleep."
I adjusted my pillow and pulled the blanket farther up my body, "Can you sleep with me?" I asked quietly. Chase smiled over at me and sat at my bedside, pulling me close to his chest. I listened to the rhythm of his heart beat, and his steady breathing. It was a song, and I song that I never wanted to forget.
