CHASE'S POV

I sat there just staring at her. I didn't know what to do. I've loved her for a long time but she would never realise all the things I do for her are to show her that I care. She doesn't know anything and she never will because she's with Ethan and he makes her blind to everything around her. He didn't get how special she was. He was just using her to get someone else jealous. Just the other day, I tried explaining to him how special she was and he jsut kept ignoring me. I was sick of it so I decided to confront him about it.

"Hey Ethan." I said. "I need to talk to you." he was with Bree.

"Okay." he said, turning to Bree.

"In private." I said dragging him away.

"What do you want?" he snapped.

"I want you to stop treating Bree like she's a toy. You're slowly starting to hurt her and you don't realise that she's special. Any guy would be lucky to have her."

"If I didn't know any better, I would think you had a crush on your sister." he said with a smirk.

"But I don't. She's my sister and I care about her. You should too if she's your girlfriend."

"She's not my real girlfriend. I'm just using her to someone jealous if you know what I mean." he winked and walked off back to Bree.

I was so angry I didn't know what to do. But I stormed off to my next class. Unfortunately it was with Study Hall and I had it with Ethan, Daniell, Trent, and Kavan. Almost all the people that I hated but Trent and i had a small alliance. Which was good. So I sat with him and Kavan. Ethan sat with Danielle. So that's who he wanted to get jealous. Interesting.

"Hey guys." Kavan said while setting his stuff down and sitting in the chair next to me.

"Hey." Trent and i said at the same time.

"Chase, isn't Bree dating Ethan?"

"Yeah but she shouldn't be."

"I know. She should be with someone who doesn't cheat on her with other girls." Trent said.

"Someone like me." Kavan said.

"Or someone like..." I hesiated. "You...I guess."

"Yeah." Trent said. "Let's get back to work." He put his head down and continued to work. Kavan did the same. I couldn't concentrate on my work. Instead, I was working on a plan to get Bree to notice what Ethan's doing. Class was over faster than I thought it would have gone by. I walked out and found Bree sitting by her locker. I slowly walked over to her.

"Hey Bree. I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" she responded.

"It's about Ethan and you're not going to like it."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Ethan is using you to get Danielle jealous."

"What? No. He's not. My little decimal point would never do that. We love each oter." she said getting up.

"Bree, please listen to me. It's true and I'm not lying. Ask Trent or Kavan. They seen it too."

"Chase, you're just jealous that I won't be spending time with you guys at home." she walked away from me and went home. Dang it. I lost my chance to convince her that she deserves someone better. I slowly made my way back to the house and down to the lab.

"What's up Chase?" Adam asked me. He was the only one who knew how I felt about Bree.

"I tried to tell Bree about Ethan but she just ignored me and walked away."

"But don't you like her?" he asked.

"No. You're crazy."

"Oh yeah. That's right." he paused then suddenly broke out into laughter. "You love her."

" I do not. I have no feelings for Bree. I just wanted her to know about Ethan's little game."

"Oh. Okay."

"Yeah." I got away from him and went upstairs to my bedroom. Since Davenport thought the capsules were getting too samll for us, he gave us our own rooms. My room had a King Bed, a touch screen computer, a walk in closet, a 52 inch flat screen tv and lots of other stuff. I loved my room. it was the only place I could go where no one would barge in and I could have my privacy. Unless they knocked. After I stripped myself of my shirt, I laid down and started drifting off into sleep when someome knocked on my door. I got up and opened it, expecting to see Leo or Adam stadning there but isntead of them, in front of me was Tasha. She looked worried.

"Chase. I'm worried. Bree hasn't come home yet and she's usually home right after school. Do you know what happened to her?" she said. i was shicked but I knew she was probably just with Ethan at his house studying or something.

"No. i wish I knew where she was. I have to tell her something. But knowing her, she's probably at Ethan's studying." I said.

"No she's not. I jsut called there. Neither of them are there."

"What?" now it was my turn to freak. "That's great. Just terrific." I said, storming out of the room.

"Where are you going?" Tasha asked. I grabbed my sweater and an extra one just in case I found Bree and she needed one. Yeah I was a caring brother. Sue me.

"Going to find Bree." I walked out the door and started walking down the street. It took me a few blocks until I found her in an alley, all bruised and bloody. I ran up to her. 'Oh my god. Bree what happened?"

"I just got jumped and attacked by Danielle and her friends. one of the people who jumped me was Ethan. I can't believe I trusted him. He was such a fake." she kept crying and ended up losing it.

"Bree, I don't know how this will help but I brought you a sweater. Can I put it on you?" I asked. She nodded and I put my sweater on her. Then I put my arm around her to get her to stop crying but nothing was helping. "Bree, do you want to go home?" I asked. She nodded so I picked her up and carried here to the end of the alley. But with my luck, it started pouring down rain. I removed my sweater and put it over Bree's head so her hair wouldn't get wet. That's when I remembered that I wasn't wearing a shirt. Smart Chase. Very Smart. I thought. But I wasn't just about to take the sweater away from her. I wasn't like that. Unlike some people.

Bree kept shivering so as I carried her, I held her clsoer to me to keep her home. When we got back, Tasha and Davenport were waiting in the living room for me. they seen Bree and they ran towards me.

"What happened?" they asked at the same time.

"She got jumped and beat up by Danielle, a bunch of her friends. Then to add insult to injury, Ethan was there too, watching the whole thing and not even trying to stop it."

"Oh my god. We need to get her to the hospital." Tasha said.

"I'll take my high speed helicopter." Davenport said.

"Chase, you stay here and keep an eye on Adam and Leo." Tasha ordered me before walking out of the house with Davenport. The boys came out of Adam's room.

"What happened? Where's mom?" Leo asled.

"She went to the hospital."

"What happened to her?" he panicked.

"Nothing happened to her or Davenport. It's Bree." I told them.

"What happened to her?" Adam asked, sounding worried.

"She was with Ethan then Danielle beat her up with a few of her friends and Ethan just stood there, watching and smiling." I said.

"That jerk." they said in unison.

"I know. I thoguht he really loved her. But turns out he didn't."

"I wonder if she'll be okay." Adam said.

"I hope she will be." I said before turning around and retreating to my room.
