A Match Like No Other (Chase Davenport Love Story)

Chapter 25

"You're sure you can't come to school today?" Chase asked me after what seemed like the millionth time

"Yes, I have to train today remember? I still have to somehow try to get my lightning powers back," I spoke, grabbing a water out of the fridge as Chase sat on the counter stool

"You know you're just as good without your lightning powers right?" Chase spoke, I smiled lightly at him

"I know, but I can't defeat my enemies without it. So I'm giving it a few more months. If it doesn't come back, I'll give up. But till then I have to keep trying," I explained, packing the water in my bag

"Just... be safe alright? Don't exhaust yourself," Chase spoke

"I'll be okay, besides the two guys helping me are my age. I trust them," I spoke

"Wait, the people helping you get better are teenagers?!" Chase shrieked

"They know a lot about superheroes! They were the ones who made the clutioniam safe for me, and they saved my life multiple times. I trust them," I defended

"Do they have any medical experience?" Chase asked, I gave him a look

"Chase," I said sternly

"I'm just worried about you!" Chase defended

"And I get that, but you also have to trust me. Maybe one day these guys will save your life to. You never should judge a book by its cover. But I have to get going, I'll pick you up after school and we'll go do something. Whatever you want okay?" I spoke, walking around the counter and kissing Chase on the lips

"Did I ever mention I'm glad you're somewhat older than me?" Chase smiled as we parted, I chuckled

"You might have mentioned it once or twice. I'll see you after school okay?" I spoke

"Be safe!" Chase called as I left the house, I chuckled as I closed the door and smiled

He's literally so perfect

If that's the case, then why can't I just say 'I love you' without choking up?
~~~~~~~~~
"You what?"

"I choked! I had the words ready to say and I just said 'I'm so lucky to have you' instead of the other words," I groaned

"Girl, you've got it bad," Sam chuckled, I groaned and put my head in my hands

"I know!" I cried, rubbing my hands over my face

"Do you think.... maybe you're scared?" Sam asked, I looked up at her

"Why would I be scared?" I asked

"Have you been thinking about Dad recently?" Sam suddenly asked, my gaze moved towards the floor

"A little..." I mumbled

"Are you...? Are you scared your relationships gonna end up like Dad and Moms?" Sam asked

"What?! No!" I gasped, looking up at her

"Then what is it? Scarlett whatever it is, I'm sure Chase doesn't see what you see," Sam comforted, placing a hand on my shoulder, I sighed and fiddled with my hands

"I killed Dad... I mean, I know he was evil but I never killed anyone before! Even the worst villains I faced I never..." I trailed, a few tears rolled down my cheeks, I slowly wiped them away

"I never killed anyone before. And I had no hesitation, I should have hesitated! He was my Dad! I should've..." I sniffled, till Sam brought me into a hug

"It was not your fault," Sam comforted, "Dad was cruel, and if you hadn't done something we'd still be blind to the fact that he was evil. Scarlett, you're our hero, you saved us."
