10/05/2027 6:45 AM

I awake to the sound of my alarm clock going off. I sit up and reach over to the night stand and turn the alarm off. My lip hurts and I have a massive headache. I get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror and almost faint. My lip is still swollen, my left eye is swollen shut, and I have a massive bruise on my left cheek.

After I go pee, I take a shower, get dressed, and head downstairs and into the kitchen. Angel and Wade are sitting at the table and they are both drinking coffee.

"Good morning buddy." Wade says.

"Good morning. Can you call the school and tell them that I won't be coming in today?" I ask.

"I already did." Wade says.

"Thanks." I say as I walk over to the table and sit down across from Wade.

"What do you want for breakfast buddy?" Angel asks me.

"I'm not hungry." I say.

"You should really eat something buddy." Angel says.

"Fine. I'll eat a bagel" I say.

"Have a seat at the table and I will make you a bagel with cream cheese." Angel says.

"Chase." Wade says.

"Yeah." I say.

"What's wrong buddy? You seem sad." Wade says.

"I…I just want my Dad's." I say.

"They will be home in a few hours buddy." Wade says.

"I…I wish they were here now." I say.

After I finish eating, I take two ibuprofen and then head upstairs and into my room. I lie down on the bed and pull the covers over myself.

A Few Hours Later: 12:30 PM

I awake with a start. Sweat is pouring down my face, and my head is pounding.

"Angel!" I yell.

"Oh god." I say as the pounding in my head gets worse.

The door opens and Angel and Wade walk into the room.

"Are you ok buddy?" Angel says as he sits down on the bed.

"My…my head hurts." I say.

"I'm going to go get you some ibuprofen. I'll be right back." Angel says.

"Thanks." I mumble.

"You're welcome buddy." Angel says as he gets off of the bed and walks into my bathroom. A few seconds later, he returns with a bottle of ibuprofen and a cup of water. He opens the bottle of ibuprofen and pours two into his hand. He hands them to me and then hands me the cup of water. I take the pills and then lie back down.

"I want my Daddies." I say.

"They called a few minutes ago, and they said that they just landed and they will be home in a few minutes." Angel says.

"Ok." I say.

"Buddy." Angel says.

"Yeah." I say.

"I'm going to go get you a bag of ice for your face." Angel says.

"Ok." I say.

Angel and Wade leave the room, and a couple of minutes later, Angel returns and hands me a bag of ice. I place it on the left side of my face.

"You should go back to sleep buddy. I'll come back up in 15 minutes to take the ice off of your face." Angel says.

"Ok." I say as I close my eyes, and a couple of minutes later, I fall asleep.

Roughly Two Hours Later: 2:30 PM

I awake to the sound of my phone ringing. I grab it off of the nightstand and press the green button.

"Hello." I say.

"Hey Chase, its Evan. Can…Can I come over?" Evan asks.

"What time is it?" I ask.

"It's…2:30." Evan says.

"Don't you have class?" I ask.

"I have 6th period off." Evan says.

"Oh. You can come over then. I think my parents are home, so I'll tell them that you are coming over." I say.

"Ok." Evan says.

"I'll see you soon, bye." I say.

"Bye." Evan says as we hang up. I get out of bed, and put my cell phone and wallet into my pocket, and then head downstairs and into the living room.

"Daddies!" I yell.

"We're in the kitchen buddy." My Dad Randy yells. I walk into the kitchen and my Dad's gasp when they see me.

"I…oh my god buddy. Come…come here and sit down please." My Dad Randy says. I walk over to the table and sit down next to my Dad Randy. He touches my lip and I let out a groan.

"I'm…I'm sorry buddy. Justin told us that Ryan came over yesterday." My Dad Randy says.

"Yeah. He told me how much he loved me and I told him that I didn't love him, and then I walked him to his car and he said "see you around" and I said no you won't, and then he speed away." I say.

"I'm glad that you didn't take him back buddy." My Dad John says.

"Me too. Evan is going to be here in a few minutes. He called a couple of minutes ago and asked me if he could come over, and I said yes." I say.

"Ok buddy. Are you hungry?" My Dad Randy asks me.

"Yeah." I say.

"Do you want me to make you a sandwich or something?" He asks.

"Sure. Can I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?" I ask.

"Sure." He says.

After he makes me a sandwich, he pours me a glass of apple juice and then walks over to the table and hands me my lunch.

"Thanks Daddy." I say.

"You're welcome." He says.

A Few Minutes Later: 2:50 PM

My Daddies and I are sitting in the living room and we are watching TV.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"I got it." I say as I stand up and walk over to the front door. I open the door.

"Hey Evan. Please come in." I say. Evan gives me a hug and then steps into the house and I close the door.

"I…Oh god. Your face, it's…it's so bruised. Your lip looks gross, and your eye is nasty looking." Evan says.

"You're an ass." I say as I turn away from him and run up the stairs and into my room.

A few seconds later, there is a knock on the door.

"Go away!" I yell.

"Chase…I'm sorry. I…I didn't mean what I said. I'm sorry." Evan says.

"I…Damn it Evan. Why did you have to make me feel so…so ugly?" I ask.

"I didn't mean to Chase. I…Can I come in?" Evan asks.

"I…I guess." I say. The door opens and Evan walks into the room.

"I'm sorry Chase. You're not ugly hon. You're far from ugly. I'm sorry that I made you feel ugly. Can you forgive me?" Evan asks.

"I guess. Can I tell you something?" I ask.

"Sure." Evan says.

"I…I really like you Evan, and I want to be with you; but I'm not ready for a relationship yet." I say.

"I like you to, and I'll wait as long as it takes." Evan says.

"What about Mike?" I ask.

"I broke up with him yesterday." Evan says.

"I'm sorry." I say.

"I broke up with him, because I realized I was stringing him along. I liked him; but only as a friend." Evan says.

"Oh…ok." I say.

"Are you ok?" Evan asks.

"Yeah…I just wish you could kiss me right now." I say.

"Once you get those stitches out of your lip, I'll kiss you as much as you want." Evan says.

"Yay!" I say excitedly.

Two Weeks Later: 10/19/2017 6:45 AM

I awake to the sound of my alarm clock going off. I sit up in bed and reach over to the nightstand and turn the alarm clock off. I get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom. After taking a shower and getting dressed, I grab my backpack, wallet, and cell phone, and make my way downstairs so I can make myself some breakfast. I got the stitches removed from my lip a week ago, and my face looks as good as it did before Ryan beat the shit out of me. Evan and I aren't together yet; but I am ready to tell him that I am ready for a relationship. My Dad's won't be back until later today, so it's just me and Natalya until they get home.

"Good morning Natalya." I say.

"Good morning Chase." Natalya says.

After I pour myself a cup of coffee, I walk over to the table and sit down next to Natalya.

"Have you ate yet?" I ask Natalya.

"No. Can you take me to McDonald's before you drop me off?" Natalya asks.

"Yeah." I say.

After I finish drinking my coffee, Natalya and I grab our backpacks and head out to my car.

Roughly 30 Minutes Later: 7:40 AM

I dropped Natalya off at school, and now I am pulling into the parking lot at Cedar Park High School. I pull into a parking spot and after putting the car into park, I shut the car off. I take my seatbelt off and after grabbing my backpack from the trunk; I put it onto my back and start walking to the front of the school. Once inside the school, I walk over to my locker and open it and put my backpack into the locker. I unzip my backpack and take out my math book and math binder.

"Chase!" Evan yells as he runs up to me.

"Hey. I…I wanted to talk to you." I say. Why am I so nervous?

"Ok. Do you want to talk now? Or after school?" Evan asks.

"Now." I say.

"Ok." Evan says.

"I…I'mreadyforarelationship." I say a little too fast for my liking.

"What?" Evan asks.

"I'm ready for a relationship." I say.

"Are…are you serious?" Evan asks.

"Yes. You…you are what I need to make me happy." I say.

"I promise I will treat you right. I'll be there whenever you need me, and…and I'll love you no matter what." Evan says.

"You love me?" I ask.

"Yes." Evan says.

"I…I love you too." I say as I take a step forward and wrap my arms around Evan. He wraps his arms around me and a few seconds later, we pull away from each other.

"Can…can I kiss you?" Evan asks me.

"Yes." I say. Evan takes a step forward and claims my lips. The kiss is slow and sensual. A few seconds later, he pulls away and gives me one last peck on the lips.

"Do you want to go to dinner with me tonight?" Evan asks me.

"I would love to." I say.

"What time do you want me to pick you up?" Evan asks me.

"Does 7:00 work for you?" I ask.

"Works for me." Evan says.

"Ok." I say.

"Can I walk you to class?" Evan asks.

"Of course." I say. Evan interlaces our hands and we start walking in the direction of my math class.

A Few Hours Later: 4:00 PM

Natalya and I just got home, and after grabbing our backpacks from the trunk, I lock the doors and we head inside. We walk into the kitchen and our Dads are sitting at the table.

"Hey guys. How was school?" Our Dad Randy asks.

"Boring. My teachers hate me, the nurse is mean, and he wouldn't give me a tampon, so I went to the bathroom so I could buy a tampon, and the damn dispenser stole my quarter, so I had to walk all the way across campus and get a tampon from a bathroom that smelled like ass." Natalya says.

"I'm sorry baby-girl. Do you need tampons? Your Dad and I are going to go to the store later, and we can buy you some tampons." My Dad John says.

"That would be nice, thank you." Natalya says as she storms out of the kitchen.

"I…I told Evan that I was ready for a relationship today. He told me that he would treat me right, and be there for me whenever I need him, and then he told me he loved me, and I told him that I loved him, and then we kissed, and then he asked me out to dinner tonight." I say.

"You told him that you loved him?" My Dad Randy asks me.

"Yeah, because I do love him. He's what I need in order to make me happy." I say.

"Chase, buddy, I…I am happy that you are with Evan now; but…but I don't know if you are old enough to know what love is." My Dad Randy says.

"I'm 16 Dad. I know what I want, and I want Evan in every way possible. I love him, and I want to be with him, and I don't care if you think I am too young to know what love is." I say.

"Chase, buddy, you have to understand that this…this relationship may not work out." My Dad Randy says.

"I know Dad; but I am going to try my hardest to be everything Evan wants." I say.

"Are you happy buddy?" My Dad Randy asks.

"Yes." I say.

"Ok, then I am happy for you buddy and if you…if you two ever break up, I want you to know that I will always be there for you." My Dad Randy says.

"Thanks Dad. I…I love you guys, and…and I am happy that I can talk to you guys about anything." I say.

"I'm happy too buddy. My parents and I never really talked about things that were important to me, so it makes me happy that you want to talk to us about everything." My Dad John says.

"I'm going to go upstairs and do my homework. Evan is going to pick me up at 7:00." I say.

"Ok buddy. Do you need any money for dinner?" My Dad John asks me.

"I still got a little over half of my allowance left." I say. Our Dad's give us each 50 dollars a week.

"Ok buddy." My Dad Randy says.

A Few Hours Later: 7:00 PM

My Dad's, Natalya, and I are in the living room watching TV. Knock! Knock! Knock!

"I got it." I say. I get off of the couch and walk over to the front door. I open the door.

"Hey baby." I say as I give Evan a kiss.

"Hey, are you ready to go?" Evan asks.

"Yeah. I'll be back before 11:00!" I yell.

"Ok buddy." My Dad Randy yells. I have a curfew of 11:00.

"Oh, I got you something; but I left it in the car." Evan says.

"What did you get me?" I ask.

"A rose." Evan says.

"You're so sweet." I say.

"I know." Evan says. Evan opens the passenger's side door for me, and I climb into the car and buckle my seat belt. Evan walks over to the driver's side, and he opens the door and climbs into the car. He buckles his seat belt and starts the car; put's it into drive, and starts driving down the road.

"Where are we going?" I ask as I pick up the rose Evan got me.

"You'll have to wait and see." Evan says.

"You're no fun." I say.

"I know." Evan says.

A few minutes later, we arrive at Rosario's.

"I haven't been here in a long ass time." I say.

"I know." Evan says.

We walk into the restaurant and a hostess greats us.

"Welcome to Rosario's, do you guys have a reservation?" She asks.

"Yes. It's under Evan." Evan says.

"Alright, follow me please." She says as she picks up two menus and we follow her to a table towards the back of the restaurant. She hands us our menus and we sit down at the table.

"Thanks Evan." I say.

"For what?" Evan asks.

"For taking me here." I say.

"You're welcome baby." Evan says as he leans across the table and gives me a kiss.

"Welcome to Rosario's, my name is Erick and I will be your waiter tonight. Can I get you guys started off with some drinks?" Erick asks us.

"I'll take a Pepsi please." I say.

"Alright, and for you sir?" He asks Evan.

"I'll take a Pepsi also, thanks." Evan says.

"You're welcome. I'll be back with your drinks in a couple of minutes." Erick says as he walks away.

A Couple Of Hours Later: 9:30 PM

After dinner, Evan and I went to Cold Stone Creamery for dessert, and now we are standing on the front porch of my house.

"I had a lot of fun baby." I say.

"Me too. Have a good night hon. I'll see you tomorrow." Evan says.

"Good night." I say as I lean forward and give Evan a kiss good night. Evan gives me a hug and then he starts walking towards his car. I wave good-bye and then open the door and step into the house.

"How was your date buddy?" My Dad John asks.

"It was a lot of fun. He took me to Rosario's and then we went to Cold Stone Creamery for dessert." I say.

"I'm glad that you had fun buddy." My Dad John says.

"I'm going to go to bed. Good night Dad's. I love you." I say.

"I love you too buddy." My Dad John and My Dad Randy say at the same time. I head upstairs and into my room. I head into the bathroom and take a cup out of the cup dispenser. I fill it with water and then place the rose into the cup. I strip down to my boxers and put the clothes into the hamper. I walk into my bedroom and after pulling the covers back on my bed; I lie down and pull the covers over myself. A couple of minutes later, I fall asleep.

WOOHOO! I got another chapter done. Evan is good for Chase. Congratulations to Randy for retaining his championship tonight, oh and congrats to Christian for turning heel. Christian stole the belt away from Randy after hitting Randy upside the head with it. I love you Jay. Anyways thanks for reading and reviewing. I love you all.
