Yay! I love this chapter(: I love this story, how it's coming along. But that's just because I love Chase lol (:

My eyes fluttered open to the sound of birds chirping, and the sunlight shining in brightly on my face. I gave a little stretch of my arms and looked around. For a moment I was expecting to see my regular layout, but I didn't. But then I remembered I was in Chase's house. I looked down but Chase wasn't there. I stood up and walked into the kitchen and he was sitting at his table face down with an icepack on his head. I pulled out a chair and sat beside him. His face twisted into an uncomfortable shape at the sound of the chair scraping across the floor.

"Looks like someone is nursing a hangover." I whispered. He looked up at me annoyed. I gave a small giggle.

"When I woke up on you this morning," he said, a little blush across his face. "I was wondering why you where there and why you were in my bed, so on. So I called up Kathy and asked her what happened and she explained everything up to the point where we left the bar." He looked at me. "Do you think you could fill in the blanks." I blinked, and then nodded.

"Well when we got to your house, you started taking off your clothes..."

"Oh goddess," he groaned.

"So before you could get your shirt off, I pushed you into your room and told you to go to sleep. I was going to go home, but you grabbed my waist and told me to stay...So um...yeah." I felt my face heat up.

He looked up at me. "I'm sorry you had to see that side of me Hikari." He gave a heavy sigh.

I smiled. "It's okay. Everyone goes a little crazy when they've had to much to drink."

He groaned again. "Those damn birds wont shut up!" He yelled. I looked at him sadly.

"Chase go lay down." He looked at me confused. "Just go do it." Slowly, he rose and walked into his room. When I heard the silent sound of the bed squeaking, I walked all the way around the house and drew the curtains, blocking all the lights from the outside. Then I went into his room and gave him a fresh icepack drew the curtains in there took.

He looked up at me and smiled. "Thanks Hikari." I felt my face heat up, but I wasn't sure why. I nodded and told him I was going home, but he interrupted me when I started to say home. "Um...This may seem selfish of me, but will you stay here. Um... I don't know how to say this...but uh..being around you makes...me feel...better." He looked away from my face. My heart started to beat faster, but I agreed. I sat in a nearby chair and watched him while he slept.

Of course I didn't mind staying with him if it means he would get better faster. Wait... why did I want him to get better faster? Well because he's my friend...duh. But...it feels slightly different...I can't put my finger on it. What is it?

My thoughts were interrupted by him shifting in his sleep. I saw him look up me, but I pretended not to notice. The rest of the day continued on like this.

Around 19:00 I decided to go home, for it seemed Chase had finally found a deep slumber, and I was feeling quite stiff from sitting in the chair all day.
When I arrived home, I saw that I had mail. It was a letter from Maya.

I saw that you left with drunk Chase last night. I swear if you took advantage of him, in his vulnerable state, I will never forgive you! You haven't known Chase as long as I have, yet he...likes you better. That infuriates me! I've gained 10 pounds because of you! But that's not the point... What I'm saying is, you need to leave Chase alone! 'Cause me and him will get married and we will have the cutest girl named Dakota! I have it all planed out, and your getting in the way of that, so uh stop!
-Maya.

Maya's imagination was something that scared me more than anything else. But I disregarded the letter, and went into my home. That night when I was laying in bed, thoughts of Chase's well-being crept upon me. I didn't really want to leave, but I was afraid that if he woke up and saw that I was still there, he would think me a bother. So I left. But someone was telling me, screaming at me, that I had to see him again...but what was it?

A/N: Haha did you get the joke about Dakota? Bah dum chhhh. LOL. I know I'm a nerd. Haha.
