Chase's POV

I woke up with a start in bed, and felt a tingle on my lips. I smiled touching them, and thinking back to what had just happened in my dream. Madilyn was getting married to me, her dad was there and he gave her away to me saying that he knew I would take care of her and that he loved us. I have always loved Madilyn, let me rephrase that, I have always been in love with her. Ever since I could remember. This is what I wanted in my future, I wanted to marry her. She was the girl of my dreams.

She was the reason that I hadn't had a girlfriend in the last two years. I was dating my girlfriend of a year, Ashley, when I realized that I loved Madilyn as more than a friend. Actually it was Ashley who had pointed it out and helped me realize it. She was fine with us breaking up she was in love with someone else as well. We are still pretty good friends. But I hadn't done anything about it in the last two years, I didn't want to risk my friendship with Mads. She was way too important to me, and if I told her it would ruin everything.

So I had kept my mouth shut then right before her dad Michael died, he came and talked to me.

Flashback

I was sitting in my room just finishing up a song to put on a new demo cd. When there was a knock on my door. I put my guitar down and walked over to the door and opened it. I was surprised that Michael was here, he was the last person that I would suspect.

"Chase can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked me.

I nodded and opened up the door more so that he could walk in. He went over and sat on my chair that I was previously sitting on.

"Come sit down son" he said patting a spot on the bed next to him.

I went over and sat on my bed and just looked at him again.

"Chase, I want to talk to you about Maddi. I have noticed over the course of your friendship the way that you look at her." He said stopping for a minute

My eyes widened as he was said that. He knew oh shit I'm in trouble now, he was going to kick my ass.

He laughed at me a little, "Chase, its okay I'm not going to kill you. But as I was saying, it's the same way that I stare at Tish. You love her don't you?" I just nodded at him.

"Well I am glad that my daughter has someone like you in her life. I want you to promise me something." He stopped for a minute like he was trying to think of the words he wanted to say.

"Of course" I replied not so nervous anymore, he was after all like a second father to me.

"I want you to take care of Madi for me if anything ever happens to me. I know that you will, I also know you love my daughter a lot and won't let anything happen to her. I know she loves you too, and I can't wait for the day that you too finaly get the guts to tell each other. It will be the start of the rest of your lives together. Tish, your parents, and I have always known you two belong together, and someday it will happen." He said smiling at me

"Mike, you know that I will take care of Mads no matter what happens. I love her so much, and now you obviously know that. But I don't think she feels the same way. So yes I promise that if anything would happen to you that I will make sure she is taken care of" I told him honestly.

"Thank you son, you are the kind of person that I want her to be with. I know that you will treat her the way she deserves and will never hurt her, unlike her other scumbag ex-boyfriends we have all hated" we both rolled our eyes at that one.

She did have a lot of scum bag ex-boyfriends that I wanted to beat to a bloody pulp.

"I love you like the son I never had, so I am telling you this now, so I don't have to later in the future. I just will want to say I told you so when everything I have told you about ending up together since you don't believe me. Welcome to the family" he said patting my back and leaving the room.

Well that was a conversation that I wasn't expecting to hear today.

End of Flashback

That was one of our last conversations that I had with him. It made me feel awesome that he trusted me so much with his daughter. I did believe his words now, especially after that dream where he winked at me.

Madilyn's POV

I was reading a book that was required reading for a class that I was taking when I started college in the fall. You. Make. Me. Feel like im livin a. Teen. Age. Dream. The way you turn me on. I quickly looked up from my book and looked over at my phone, as Teenage Dream blasted through the small plastic speaker. I reached over and grabbed my iPhone and looked at the caller I.D. Chaser. I smiled small before I swiped my finger across the answer call button.

"What up Chaser?" I asked feeling like today was going to be a good day. The first after many bad ones.

"Nothing much Lynie, just sitting here bored. Then I thought hey maybe Mad's will entertain me, so here we are" he said through the line, I could tell he was smiling.

"Why were you so sure that I would entertain you?" I asked teasing him.

"Because I said you were"

"Wow demanding much. You are getting a big head there" I commented

"More of my gorgeous face for people to stare at" I could tell he had a smug look on through the phone.

"Surre" I said sarcastically.

"What kind of wall update Is that? Plastic bags go where people can't. You are weird, where the freak did that even come from?" he asked trying not to laugh loudly into the phone, but I could still hear him.

"Hey, watch it. I was listening to firework by Katy Perry and she says I have you ever felt like a plastic bag floating through the wind. Then I started to think about how a person can't actually float in the air. So see plastic bags go where people can't." I said explaining my awesome wall post to him.

"Alright then" I could still here his playfully tone.

"So what did you want? I have to get back to the perks of being a wallflower. I have to finish it before we start college." I asked wanting to know his reason for calling.

"Well I don't want to sit here anymore, and I want to hang out" he said

"I can't I have to finish this book" I told him looking at the book lying on the bed next to me.

"Knowing you, you are almost done with it, and we still have a month and half before you have to be done with it. So you can come hang out with me" he said truthfully.

"Ugh, fine, when are you coming over?" I asked groaning

"I'm not coming over, we are going out"

"Chase, I'm not ready to go out yet" I said quietly.

"I know you aren't, and I'm not going to try to force you. I just want to go to our spot, no one will be around, and you don't have to see anyone but me. It is up to you we can do something else" he suggested but I knew he really wanted to go to our spot.

I thought about it for a minute. Getting out of the house did sound nice, I was getting tired of being in my room. Even if I might not be able to face the world yet, I could still go outside with Chase.

"Okay, come get me" I said agreeing.

"Already here" he said walking into my room.
