Demented

Chapter 10.

" I don't love you anymore. " Chase shook his head & collapsed on the chair. I could feel how broken he was. It made me feel like it was all my fault. & it is.. I don't know what came over me.. I just.. I just felt so betrayed. I just confessed my feelings to him & then he dropped them as soon as he could smell her breath. I'm such a mess.

"Don't think you're off the hook, Tori." Brooklyn ran out the room & Chase walked up to me. I really did it this time.

"What the fuck was that?" He was just above me. I refused to make eye contact. Chest contact is better.

"I.. I don't know. I was jealous & angry & I just don't know. As soon as you guys kissed something just hit me. I felt desperate for attention & I just wanted someone to hold me & tell me they love me. I guess I just started doing stupid things.. Andrew kissed me & I didn't stop him. I should've stopped him. & I think I was leading him on. That's my second first kiss down. I just screw up everything. " I don't know what I just said. It just all came out before I could even think. But it was all true at least. Just, whenever I see myself cuddling with a boy under the star light , I imagine Chase & I. & I wish I didn't because then I wouldn't have this weird feeling like he's mine.

"I screwed up your first kiss. You don't screw up everything. But you had no right to do that. That was for me to say. I was thinking of a way to let it down on her easy. Not like that! She's sensitive. Like you." He looked outside in the direction she ran. I know I had no right. I know I know I know. I don't know what came over me.

"You did not just compare me to her. I'm nothing like her. I'm not sensitive. I'm tough." I crossed my arms & tried to pull off a serious face.

"Yeah okay, Tori. Just promise me you won't interfere with other peoples relationships again?" He brushed my hair in all directions & huffed. This wasn't just any relationship though.. The girl tried to kill me. & plus, I'm not just going to go around wrecking relationships.

"I won't. I don't like that many boys." I rolled my eyes & laughed. He started staring at me. He had a smile on at least. I don't know why, but I just feel really happy to have him in my life. I know, it weird. But he's always there to pick me up when I've fallen. Literally.

"I'm sorry." I sighed & hugged him. I wrapped my arms around his waist & my head in his chest. He held me long & tight.

"Why are you scared?" He pushed back & held my shoulders. His eyes digging into mine with worry. I forgot he can sense fear.

"I just don't want what happened to Brooklyn to happen to me.. " I looked down at my nails & started fidgeting with them. I really don't want to
have to run away forever. But I'll probably get killed as it would be Chases second time.

"Tori! It won't. I won't let them touch you. I promise." He pulled me back into a tight hug & kissed my head. This is all that I wanted. To just be in his arms.

"Okay okay enough with the cuteness." Emily raised her hands & laughed.

"Oh please. Like we don't get enough of that from the two of you. " I laughed & gestured towards Aydan & her.

"It's okay when we do it. " Aydan smirked evilly & chuckled.

"Oh really & why is that?" Chase snapped back & let out a little laugh. The fight went on for about two minutes & ended with "yeah well I have more friends than you anyways." By Chase. I don't know how it got there but I was on my phone the whole time, talking to Andrew. His acting weird. But it's probably from the kiss.

"Come lets go to the park across the road." Chase grabbed my hand & gestured for Emily & Aydan to come too. The first thing I do when I see a swing is sprint up to it. Little kids never let go of these things. Except I couldn't run because it was too sore. I just walked as fast as I could. Emily ran to the sea-sore.
