A/N: So I haven't read many fics on this pairing and I don't know why but I love it so I've decided on creating my own. Hope you like it. I don't know how long it'll be but you're welcome on the ride.

Edit: Thought better of it and though Bree was going out with Ethan I changed it to Owen for two reasons.

1) they broke up

2) I like Owen's 'artistic' character

Edit: - Literally, I'm re-editing the entire story and trying to fix mistakes. Enjoy?

Warnings (one time deal): slash, bullying, angst, mpreg, sexual content, violence, character death, etc.

Chapter one: Wishful Thinking

Chase's P.O.V.

I wake up in the morning with a stretch, my body feeling a bit stiff despite sleeping great. I'm glad that Mr. Davenport finally let Bree, Adam, and I have our own rooms instead of those cold tubes. It's not that I don't like my so-called "sister" Bree and "brother" Adam. On the contrary actually, though we are not blood related siblings we grew up like it, something I'm grateful for since I'm not so alone. The only reason why I am content about this new development is because I might love Adam more than I should toward my older brother figure. It's something that has been nagging me for quite some time and it's become more difficult to hide when I have dreams of him, it's especially awkward in the morning.

Despite what you might think about Adam, he's smart...when he wants to be that is. Even so, that isn't the only reason I've developed feelings for, technically, my brother. He's also sweet, kind, protective, and well... he's himself. Something I try to be around the people I call family, but can't.

Anyhow, I get out of bed and dig through my closet for clothes. In the end I decide to throw on my usual attire, a pair of black skinny jeans and a black t-shirt with a plaid one on top of that. I put on my converse and check myself in the mirror. Finally deciding I look decent I head downstairs for breakfast, which is simply cereal, occasionally dry because Adam sometimes drinks the entire carton.

"Hey," Bree smiles obviously happy, overly cheerful honestly.

"Hey," I sigh tiredly.

"Something wrong?" She wonders concerned.

I want to glare at her, but don't because then she'll get suspicious and do whatever sisters do to pester little brothers.

"Nothing's wrong," I force a reassuring smile.

"Alright," she shrugs, "I'll see you at school."

Thank God for small miracles and with that she speeds out the front door. Sometimes I'm a bit jealous of Bree for having a stable relationship with Owen. True, he doesn't know about her bionics much less ours but at least she has him. I don't have anyone, not even Adam, who has bionics. I sigh again; I love him so much it's starting to hurt.

"Hey Chase," Adam smiles brightly walking in the room.

"Hi," I mutter grabbing the milk before he can get his hands on it.

I try to avoid his piercing gaze no doubt assessing me.

"Something wrong?" He asks, just like Bree sensing something's not quite right.

I guess today I'm just tired of the secrets I keep from the people I should trust most.

"No," I reply with the ever present fake smile.

He eyes me suspiciously but drops the matter instead as he makes grabby hands at the milk. I glare at him, not holding back like I did with Bree, and he surrenders by passing me the box of cereal. Our hands brush for just a second but it's enough to make my heart skip a beat. I quickly grasp the side of the box and pour the cereal in my bowl of cold milk. I turn away munching on a spoonful trying not to say anything stupid like "I've loved you since forever". The awkward silence that settled is finally broken by him, though.

"Sooo umm...are you going to go to school?" Adam asks.

I laugh a bit, because seriously?

"What?" He questions nervously.

"Nothing, sorry, yeah of course I'm going to school," I smile genuinely.

"Wanna walk together then?" He almost whispers the question as if timid.

"...sure," my smile widens.

He honestly has no idea how happy he makes me feel. Even if it's to include me into something trivial like walking to school. It makes my tummy flutter with butterflies, something Bree would definitely find amusing considering Adam is my crush.

"Really?" He immediately lights up.

Just like a puppy, I think.

"Yeah," I nod.

"Ok cool," he smiles.

We finish the rest of breakfast in silence. It's not the awkward silence anymore, it's rather comfortable now.

He gets up and grabs his bag. I mimic his actions as I grab my own belongings. We start walking side by side. I put in my earphones and blast the music loud enough to hear but not to glitch. Occasionally I sneak glances at Adam and smile contently. I wish I could hold his hand in mine, even for a moment it would make my day.

However, before I even realize it we have arrived at school.

"We're here," Adam announces.

"So it seems," I respond a bit sad.

"Yeah...Uhm See ya later," he waves.

He doesn't wait for my response and just heads the opposite direction to his own class.

I turn around to see Bree and Owen. What surprises me is that I also see Leo and Janelle. Ignoring the romantic, lovey-dovey atmosphere that always surrounds them I make my way to my locker. My wishful self begins to think that maybe someday that will be me and Adam.


Time passes slowly as the first bells ring for second period, the seconds bleeding like molasses into minutes. It isn't until sometime later that it's already time for lunch.

I gather my books and stuff them into my book bag quickly. The classroom is already emptying as people spill into the hallways to rush to their next period. I cross the threshold and quietly as well as efficiently walk fast in the halls trying to avoid trouble that I know will arrive if I don't hurry.

And it's as if I jinxed myself because I'm suddenly being stopped.

"No, no, no", I pray with eyes closed tightly shut.

My hands subconsciously wrap around the straps of my bag until they ache from the sudden strain.

I slowly open my eyes only to see a tall guy standing in front of me with an evil smirk which can only mean one thing. If I didn't know any better I would've ignored him and the others behind him. But then again that isn't the case here, not only are they blocking the only way to get to the cafeteria but they know what they want. He's a football jock and he laughs almost mockingly. Our locks eyes and I stop breathing. Slowly, teasingly, they approach and in seconds I'm surrounded by them.

They jostle me a bit and until the first guy punches me in the stomach, all air escaping me in that blow. It leaves me breathless as I groan in pain and fall to the tiled floor. If I didn't know better, I would have thought my knees shattered as they collided with the hard ground, my teeth biting into my lips causing them to split. He doesn't take pity and clearly doesn't care because shoves me into a nearby locker with such force that I hit my head in the process. I can hear their taunting laughter fading, indicating that they're just walking away. Their job for the day done and I wonder what I did to aggravate them because they have never been so abusive and rough before.

With a headache blossoming behind my eyes I shut them tightly again. I will my breathing to return to normal even if my ribs ache at each breath I take.

Trying to get up isn't any better as I haul myself supporting my weight on the locker covered in splatters of my blood. For some reason, though, my senses won't respond and I all back down. I can't move my body and with a helpless whine I lay on the floor vulnerable. I know they only pick on me because of my small stature and because I'm a know-it-all nerd. The worst of it is that the Principal Perry doesn't do anything to stop it. Then again she really doesn't care; in fact sometimes she encourages it.

I roll to my side but the crippling pain has obviously got a hold on me because it's such a difficult and tiring task to do. I whimper and before I know it I hear Leo screaming for help. Bree and Adam appear in a nanosecond. I can see Adam's face contort in worry as he quickly engulfs me in his strong arms.

"What happened?" Bree asks.

I try to speak but felt like I just couldn't answer, my throat gone dry and clogged.

"Chase?" She asks worriedly.

"...Just some...jocks," I groan again.

"Come on we'll take you home," Adam offers.

"But class," I argue softly, weakly, pathetically.

"It doesn't matter, it'll be fine," Leo assures.

I nod and snuggle in the arms of Adam, feeling warmth yet pained. The throbbing pain makes me struggle for breath as Adam picks me up to carry me out the school. I really wish to stay like that though...maybe forever if it ever comes. I close my eyes and drift in and out. Sometimes I hear voices, sometimes I feel darkness to the point that I give into it. My head lolls to the side onto Adam's shoulder feeling heavy and hurting. My bottom lip wobbles as I try to manage the pain. It's okay though, because I soon lose all feeling.
