Chapter 4- Date Night

Bella's POV

Chase led me to his SUV and held my door open.

"Why thank you kind sir," I giggled and got in.

"You're very welcome ma`am," He chuckled and shut my door.

He walked around to the other side and started the car.

Chase turned the radio on to my favorite station; Kiss 106.1. We drove to the restraint in silence, which was a little awkward; but mostly comfortable. He pulled up to 'Angelo's' and I gasped. Chase chuckled and I shot him a look.

"I'm not used to stuff this nice," I gave him another look.

He parked and came around to my side. He opened it and held out his hand. I grabbed it and stepped out of the SUV. I smiled down at him and dropped his hand. Instead I looped my arm through his.

Chase smiled down at me and gave me a sweet kiss. He continued to lead me to the entrance. The hostess smiled a little too warmly at Chase.

"Can I help you," she asked.

"I have reservations under Collins," Chase replied.

"Right this way," she grabbed two menus and showed us to a table in the back away from everyone else.

Chase pulled my chair out and pushed it in when I sat down. He sat down on the other side. The over-friendly hostess left, and I relaxed. I picked up my menu and skimmed over it.

"Chase this place is really nice," I told him and set the menu down.

"Bella, don't worry about anything; I have it all covered," Chase assured me and grabbed my hand from across the table.

"Can I get you anything to drink," our waiter asked and Chase released my hand.

"Water for me," I told him.

"Iced Tea," Chase ordered and looked back at me.

The waiter left and I picked my menu back up. Scanning through the columns, I found a vegetarian dish that looked good. It was the 'Vegetarian Lasagna'. It had no beef, fresh vegetables, and it was not too expensive.

"Bella do you know what you want," Chase inquired with a small yet sweet smile.

"Yes, do you," I asked right back.

He merely nodded, and then the waiter set our drinks and bread basket down on the secluded table.

"May I take your orders," he flipped his little book open and looked at me.

"I would like the Vegetarian Lasagna please," I told him then handed the menu up to him, and he turned to Chase.

"Pot Roast," Chase kind of demanded and practically threw the menu at the poor guy.

I scooted back until my back was against the back of the chair. Then I gently placed my hands in my lap.

"Now that we're alone, I want to know everything about you Bella," Chase sighed and smiled sheepishly.

"Well I want to know everything about you Chase. So you first," I urged.

"Fine," Chase agreed and cleared his throat.

"Well my family is really rich. My dad is Luke Collins the number one neurosurgeon in the country, and my mom is Gracie Collins the top law attorney in the country. Then you know my older brother, Jackson Collins is our school Dean. So that's my family," Chase finished.

"Then tell me about your childhood," I had a small grin on my face.

"When I was little I got whatever I wanted. Plus being rich didn't help. I remember making our butler's play trucks, firefighter, and war with me. I ordered them around so much. My mansion is huge. We have everything imaginable to do. Jackson didn't like to play with me a lot because he's a whole ten years older then me so he liked different stuff. I didn't really see my mom and dad a whole bunch during the day, but we still managed to have a great family relationship," Chase took a breather and started to talk again.

"Um…I was defiantly a spoiled brat. I picked on kids at school, and just got worse when I turned thirteen; which is why my parent's sent me to Bishop Academy, and the fact that my brother was the Dean; but they thought that a new school, my brother around, and basically a boarding school would help straighten me out. So I've been coming to Bishop Academy since I was fourteen, and I practically rule the school. Well except for the Cullen's," Chase told me with a smile at the very end.

"Wow. It seems that you had a very hard childhood," I smiled sarcastically.

"Well now you know my childhood, may I know yours," he asked me quietly and nervously.

I sighed, "Do you really want to know about my boring life?"

"Yes, but only if you will share it with me," hmm, always the chivalrous one.

"Alright then, my mother is Renee Swan; she just got remarried to my step- dad Phil. She kept her own last name though. My step- dad Phil is a minor league baseball player, and my dad is Charlie Swan the Chief of Police. When I was still very little my mom escaped with me from Forks to Phoenix. I was living with her there, but I really missed my dad. I spent every summer in Forks with him till I was fourteen. I remember seeing all the other little girls with their dad's but I never had one. I was always picked on at school. It was really bad, they bullied me so hard and I was even sexually harassed a few times," I looked up at Chase and saw hurt behind his eyes because he was the bully and I was the bullied.

"Kindergarten through 6th grade was the easiest. But when I hit junior high, that's when all of my problems started. I was bullied even harder and pressured even harder. Sometimes from my mom but it was always kids at school and my teacher's. I was the golden child. But then I started to get really depressed," I took a deep breath to steady myself and try to blink back the tears.

"Bella you don't have to finish. If you want to wait till we're alone and you trust me more, I understand," Chase offered quietly.

I nodded and excused myself to the bathroom. I eventually found it. I entered and leaned on the counter. I pulled out my cell- phone and called Rose.

"Hello," she obviously didn't look at the caller I.D.

"Rosalie," I breathed out in relief.

"Bella," she sounded alarmed, but she knew me too well to know that I was not alright.

"Hey, um…I'm on my date with Chase right now," I told her.

"Then why are you talking to me," she used her 'duh' and 'I'm confused' voices.

"Because we were talking about our childhood, and I almost started to cry at the table; I got up to the part where I went into depression," I explained quickly.

"Oh, sweetie, I want you to take a deep breath for me right now…alright is your make-up smudged," she cooed.

I checked my face in the mirror; all clear.

"No."

"Good. When you feel that you are ready to tell him your story, make sure you have your cell-phone and call me if things go wrong or you start to hyperventilate. And if something bad happens do not do it. Do you understand me Bella? Alice and I love you too much for that to happen again," Rosalie's voice started to get louder.

"I promise," I assured her.

"Wonderful. Now I want you to leave the bathroom and go back to Chase. I love you, bye," she finished and hung up.

I fixed my hair and headed back to the table. Our food was just being brought out when I sat back down. Chase looked at me with a worried expression on his face. I gave him a small assuring smile and looked down at my food. It looked really good.

We ate the rest of our meal in an awkward silence. The waiter took our plates away and gave Chase to bill. I tried to give him my credit card but he said no and paid for it himself.

Chase lead me back out to the SUV and helped me in. I buckled myself in and waited for Chase to situate himself and turn the car on. He turned Kiss 106.1 on again, and we were met with more awkward silence.

I had enough of the not talking so I took a big breath and said the first words.

"Look Chase I'm sorry. It's just that I've been through a lot in my past and it still hurts to talk about it. I understand if you don't want to see me anymore," I was on the verge of crying again and Chase stopped me from going on.

"Bella Hun, I'm not going to stop dating you just because you won't tell me about your past. I want to help you work through all that pain inside of you. When you are ready you can tell me," Chase grabbed my hand and gave me a reassuring squeeze.

I nodded and glanced up at him. He went back to focusing on the road and I went back to working on my breathing.

When we arrived back at the Academy, Chase gave me a goodnight kiss and we went our separate ways. The minute I got into my room the flood gates burst. I slammed my door shut and threw myself on my bed. I knew my make-up was running down my face, but I couldn't stop. I had successfully managed to keep those dark memories out of my head until now.

I've had a lot of pain in my life that I have kept well hidden and just thinking about my past brings me to tears.

There was a knock on my door, so I slowly got up and opened it. Jordyn and Jacob were standing there clad in their PJ's. I was still crying, loudly I might add. They pulled me into my room, shut the door, and just held me while I cried. Eventually I calmed down enough to where they put some PJ's on me and we sat on my bed.

There were no questions asked that night.

The next morning I woke up with my eyes red, puffy, and sore. I looked around my room and saw Jordyn and Jake sleeping on an air mattress in the middle of my room.

I got up and tip toed into my bathroom. I called Rosalie.

"Bella are you alright," she answered on the first ring.

"Well I cried myself to sleep last night," I laughed dryly.

"I'm sorry we weren't there for you," Rosalie apologized sadly.

"Rose its fine. I have Jake and Jordyn with me," I smiled into the mirror.

"They're gay right," she asked.

"Yes, so don't worry. Is Alice there with you," I retorted.

"Ya do you want to talk to her?"

"Please."

I heard moving around in the background and it suddenly got louder so that meant she had put me on speaker.

"Hey Bella, Rose told me about last night," Alice's voice immediately calmed me down.

"Hi Alice, for the record I did have fun at least," I tried to shy away from the conversation that I knew was going to happen.

"Oh no you don't missy, we have to talk about it," Alice told me angrily.

"Fine," I was in no mood to argue with them right now.

"Bella you need at least one person at the Academy to know about your past. Jake and Jordyn seem like they care. Today is Sunday, so you have all day. But I want you to tell them. Without Rosie and me there who knows what you could do. We almost lost you once and that is not happening again," Alice demanded so I knew she meant business.

"You're right," I sighed and slid down onto the floor.

"Of course I am. So Rose and I will talk to you later, I love you," Rose and Alice both said the last part in unison and hung up.

I stood up and walked out of the bathroom to find Jake and Jordyn sitting up and looking at me.

"Are you alright," Jordyn asked softly.

"For now. But in order for you guys to understand why I was so upset last night you need to know some things," I explained and sat on my bed.

They crawled up and joined me. They laid a blanket over all of us and we leaned against the wall, which had my shark stuffed animals and some pillows cushioning us from the hard wall.

And so…I told them everything.
