Bree's POV
WOW, New York is beautiful. It's got so many different people and so many different cultures. The best part… the clothes! Oh how I'll be the envy of every girl back home! Dave took me to so many shops I'm about to drop! When he first offered to be my guide I was blinded by the thought of shopping, but now that I have time to relax I'm getting the feeling he likes me. It was actually really nice. He would make me blush so hard I felt the sun lay on my cheek! He was so sweet. After a while I started teasing him back and I felt really comfortable with it. My mind drifted to Chase, but I immediately stopped that train of thought. I loved him. I really did, but he would never feel the same way, he couldn't, so why start kidding myself? Dave was a really nice guy, and he would help me keep my mind off of things.
"Bree… Bree are you alright?" I was so lost in thought, I had zoned out of my conversation with Dave as we were walking back to the group.
"What? Oh yeah… right… sorry, what was it you were talking about?" I blushed, way to go Bree!
"Nothing, it's not really important. But um… you know, this week is really busy for me with the start of the tour and everything but I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go out sometime, when we get to London?" We were walking as he asked me the question almost made me stop in my tracks. So he does like me! My mind briefly wandered to Chase… NO! Moving on…
"Of course, I'd love to!"
Chase's POV
Wow, Ellis Island is so cool! I had a great time while exploring the place. Well, for the most part anyway. I mean, the sights were cool and everything, but even using all of my bionic abilities, I could not drown out the sound of Ginny's voice. It's like the girl never stops talking! Does she even take a chance to breathe? At first I started talking back with her, to make a conversation, but that idea stopped soon after when she would laugh after everything I would say.
Oh My God! She has the world's most annoying laugh! The only time I got a break was when I had to use the bathroom, but as soon as I walked out again, there she was talking and annoying me to NO END! Yes, it took me no time at all to identify to not so subtle crush she had on me. I tried to ignore her and let her down gently, or at least not get her hopes up, but my efforts didn't seem to be working very well.
I had finally managed to convince her we should head back and meet with the others. I had graciously opened the door to the taxi. Thankfully she didn't notice she took the passenger seat, so when she tried to talk to me loudly from the front, the taxi driver shut her up. Unfortunately that was 15 minutes ago, and I could see everyone else already at the same meeting place. Please, please, please, let something or someone else distract her from me! She was unbearable!
"Hey Chase, buddy! Can I talk to for a second?" Leo came up to me as soon as I stepped out of the cab. He jerked his head to the left, trying to tell me to meet him there. I nodded and followed him to the clearing. "OK, dude, I know you might not believe me, I mean, I KNOW Bree won't, but I think Dave and Ginny aren't quite right. I just don't get a good feel from them." I gaped at him. So I wasn't the only one to feel that way!
"Oh my gosh, I feel the same way! Ever since Dave dragged Bree off this morning, I've had a bad feeling stuck in my stomach. Come on, we have to warn Bree!" I was excited, I was going to express what I thought about Dave to her already, but now I have back up!
"Yeah, I think it might be too late." He pointed behind my back and I saw Bree and Dave… holding hands!
"Wh- What!? When did this happen?" I freaked, this wasn't how things were supposed to go!
"About, 15 minutes ago. Whoa, Chase are you ok?" I started at Dave with a look of deep loathing and hatred and I guess Leo caught onto it. I opened my mouth to make an excuse but Leo beat me to the punch. "You know Chase, what is it with you and Bree? Lately you've been really distant with each other. I've been meaning to ask you about it. Is there something you need to tell me?" The way he said it almost made me laugh out loud, but the seriousness of the question stopped me. Should I tell him the secret I've kept since almost before he was born? I thought about all that Leo had been through with us and then looked back at him. I quickly reached my decision.
"I'm in love with Bree."
A/N: So, this chapter wasn't quite as long as the others, but I felt that this was a good cut off point for the story. With school starting back up, I'll either update less because I'm busy, or more because I need a stress reliever. Right now either could happen so you'll just have to wait and see! Review!
