Chase's POV:
Hi my name is Chase Davenport. I know you already know that, it's just polite to introduce yourself. It's been a while since we talked. Sorry, I've had a lot on my mind lately if you haven't noticed. Let's go on with my 'problem' shall we.
It was early in the morning on a Friday. I was in my capsule sleeping. I began to feel the light vibration come from my pocket. I reach down into my pocket and grab hold of m phone. I take my phone out and turn off my alarm. I check the time to see it 5 in the morning. I get out of my capsule and stretch before walking over to my bag. I look back at Adam and Bree seeing there still asleep before reaching in my bag and grabbing an opened pack of smokes along with my lighter. I stuff them in my pocket quickly before making my way to the elevator. While in the elevator I tap my foot rapidly. I needed this smoke badly. I haven't had one since last night. After what Adam said to me during dinner.
Past:
I was sitting at the dinner table next to Leo with Adam sitting across from me. I was eating my dinner in peace, thinking about school.
"So how was everyone's day" Mr. Davenport asked
"Owen got me a new necklace for our 6 month anniversary" Bree said
"Well good for you sweetie" Tasha said "Adam how about you" Adam took a minute to think
"It was just a regular day for me"
"Leo" Davenport said
"Janelle and I went to the movies after school"
"Which movie did you watch" Bree asked
"Love at first sight" Leo said
"That's nice" Tasha said. Before I know it all eyes were on me.
"What?" I asked
"How was your day" Mr. Davenport said
"Just a regular day, nothing special" I said
"As if" I look and see Adam smirking
"As if what?" Davenport asked Adam
"Chase didn't have a regular day" Adam better not know I smoke? If he did, how did he figure it out?
"Tell us" Tasha asked
"During lunch I saw Chase seek off from the cafeteria into the hallway" oh no, he did see "He met up with Trent"
"Oh no" I heard Leo say. Does he know too?
"What happened when he met up with Trent" Davenport asked concerned
"Trent punched the shit out of him" they all look at me
"Chase honey" Tasha gets up from her seat. She walks over to me and checks my face "His face seems fine"
"Rub his cheek" Adam said. Tasha rubs my right cheek and wipes the makeup off
"Chase" she gasped "Your cheek"
"Told you" Adam said
"Chase why didn't you do something" Mr. Davenport asked
"Because he's too much of a coward to do anything, he has no balls and that's why everyone at school hates him" I felt like crap after Adam was done
"Can I be excused" I asked
"Chase" Davenport says
"Can I please be excused" I asked. I heard a loud sigh from Davenport
"Yes you can" I get out of my chair and head out the door to the garage. I need a smoke
Present:
I felt hurt. Not of what Adam said but what everyone did not say. They all stood in silence acting like what he said was true. Like they all knew the truth. That everyone at school does hate me. That is what hurt me. Anyways, what Adam was talking about was only half true. Before I tell you the full story I'm going to be honest with you. What I'm about to tell you might shock you. Just a heads up
Past:
I was at the table with Adam, Bree and Leo during lunch. I was tapping my foot and biting my index finger. I ran out of smokes last night and I haven't had one all day and it's killing me. I know where I can get some I just need to give my family the slip
"I got to go to the bathroom" I said getting up
"Can't" Leo says "They have the bathrooms close for cleaning. For once" I sit back down and try to think of a way out of here. I look over and see Adam staring at me
"What" I asked. He just shrugs and goes back to eating his disgusting food. I have to get out of here and meet my guy. I look and see a girl struggling with her books. This could be my chance. I get up and rush over to her. By the time I reach her all her books are on the ground.
"Dammit" she yells
"Here let me help" I help her pick up her books
"Thanks" she heads to her table. I make my way to the opposite side of the lunchroom so my siblings can't see me leave. Once in the hallway I went to the boy's bathroom to find Trent
"About time Daven-dork" he said
"Sorry. Had to ditch the family"
"You got the money" I pull out a twenty from my pocket "Here" he grabs the money and gives me three packs of smokes "You ready"
"Don't want people to be suspicious" I close my eyes and hear Trent chuckle. Seconds later I felt his fist connect to my cheek. I fall to the ground groaning in pain. I look and see Trent rubbing his knuckle
"Pleasure doing business with you. See you next time" he walks away. I get to my feet and stuff the cigarettes in my pocket.
Present:
You're probably surprised but it's true. The person who bullies me every day at school is also my supplier for cigarettes. You must think I'm either desperate or stupid and you're probably right. I have no one else to get these from so Trent was the only person. The elevator doors open. I walk out and head to the front door. I put on my shoes and head out to the garage. Once in the garage I sit down in my chair and place my pack of cigarettes on the desk along with the lighter. I look around to make sure no one followed me. I take out a cigarette and place it in my mouth. I light it and inhale the smoke. After a couple of seconds I exhale and see the smoke leave my mouth and disappear into the air. I really needed this.
After I was done I put the pack of cigarettes and lighter in my pocket. I exited the garage and headed back to the house. I entered the house and made my way to the elevator. I took the elevator down to the lab. Once in the lab I went to my backpack and placed my smokes and lighter in the side zipper. I grab some clothes and make my way back upstairs. I exit the elevator and make my way to the stairs. I take the stairs up to the second level and head for the bathroom. I need to take a shower and brush my teeth so no one smells the smoke on me. I enter the bathroom and start the shower. While steam covers the room I strip down naked and close the door. Quietly. I check the shower water to make sure it's the right temperature for me. Once checked I get in and let the water hit my body. Feeling the water relaxers my muscles and clears my mind. I stand in the center of the shower letting the water flow down my body for a couple of minutes. After a while I decide to grab the shampoo and wash my body along with my hair. Once done I exit shower and face the mirror. I wipe the steam from the mirror and see my foggy reflection. I stare at my reflection, examining myself. I look the same; I sound the same and act the same. But if you were me you could feel it. I feel different. Like I am no one, the one person everyone forgets and doesn't care about. Why do I feel this way? Do you know why I feel this way? You probably don't, but thanks for trying helping. I guess. I brush my teeth and slide my clothes on. I exit the bathroom and smell the sweet scent of pancakes. I hope there chocolate chip. I make my way downstairs to find Tasha in the kitchen. I sit on one of the stools near the counter.
"How long have you been awake" she asked me. I look at the time on my phone and see it a quarter past 6.
"I've been up for a while now" I responded back. She goes back to making the pancakes. "Hey Tasha"
"Yes honey"
"Are you making chocolate chip?"
"I'm making blue berry" of course she wouldn't make my favorite kind of pancake. Why would she "But I know how much you hate blueberry so" she pulls a plate of chocolate pancakes out of the microwave and places them in front of me. "So I made your favorite" maybe she does care.
"Thank you"
"Your welcome sweetie" I began to eat the pancakes. It's been a while since I had this feeling, the feeling of joy. But all of that disappeared the moment Adam came up from the lab. He walks over to me and sits next to me. I ignore him and eat my pancakes in peace
"Morning Tasha" he says
"Morning sweetie, there are some pancakes there. I made extra so enjoy. I have to go into work early so I'll see you guys later tonight" Tasha heads out the door leaving Adam and me alone in the kitchen. He gets up from his seat and grabs a plate from the cabinet. He grabs 6 or 7 pancakes and the syrup bottle. He sits next to me and pours the WHOLE bottle of syrup on his pancakes. I swear to god that is just disgusting. I finish my pancakes and throw the plate in the sink.
"Hey Chase" I froze where I was. I slowly turn around and face Adam
"What Adam" I said
"How you feeling"
"Why do you care" I said. He gets up from his stool and walks over to me. He picks me up by my shirt collar and shoves me against the wall "Put me down" I demanded
"Why do you have to be such a dick" he says
"Why do you" I say back
"What did I do" he asked confused
"You told everyone about what Trent does to me"
"Chase I was trying to protect you"
"Not the way you said it. Now put me down"
"What do you mean, the way I said it"
"Because he's too much of a coward to do anything, he has no balls and that's why everyone at school hates him" I repeated the exact words he said
"Chase, it was meant to be a joke"
"Well it wasn't. Now let me go" Adam puts me down "Some joke" I head to the elevator and down to the lab. Once in the lab I walk to my bag and unzip the side pocket. I look and see Bree gone. Better be careful "BREE" I shout. After a minute and a quick scan she isn't here. I grab my smoke and lighter and stuff them in my pocket. I head back upstairs to find Adam and Leo at the counter eating. I walk past them and head for the door
"Hey Chase" I turn and face Adam "Can we talk"
"No"
"Please I want to apologize for what I said. Can you forgive me?" should I forgive him? Forgive him for making me feel like shit again and again. Making me feel like everyone hates me. Not this time
"No I can't forgive you Adam" I walk out the door and slam it behind me. I make my way to the garage and sit down in my chair. I place the smokes and lighter on the table. Did I do the right thing? Should I forgive him or should I not? I don't know anymore, it's like he has different personalities. One minute he's a goof and the next he's hurtful. I don't know anymore, all that I know is I'll have to think about it after my smoke.
