They were both burning, grieving from things they lost. She was lost, even when found. He was scared, even when alone. But he didn't want to be saved, he didn't want to fall madly, deeply, truly in love. In the end it was his mistake.
When Chase was kidnapped and left, she didn't think she was going to survive, and neither did he. He needed her gone, and she wanted to go home, but neither of them got what they wanted.
Enter Chase; she was like an open book, her life predictable, right? She was pretty much an orphan who had nothing but herself to call family, it would be a practical sob life story. But something wasn't right, something about her past still haunted her, in every dream. Her father's memory faded away every day, however just as it did she learned things she never knew before. Almost like every good memory was exchanged for a bad one.
Enter Jacqueline; well he's a mystery.

"I'm going to shower," I say and get up. I hear him shuffle on the floor before his voice comes from right behind me.
"I'm coming too." He says. I turn around and look at him.
"What? No, you shower after me." I say and enter the bathroom. He's right behind me so I playfully push him away. Which did nothing considering his muscles.
"Or....we could shower together." He suggests and shoves us both inside, locking the door behind us.
