Thanks for the reviews. Now here's Chapter 7

                                    Chance At Love Chapter 7

Jason grabbed Anastasia's hand as she continued to ramble about why she acted the way she did at the mansion. He thought it was somewhat attractive that she was afraid of losing him to her sister. It made him feel special. Something he never felt with his ex girlfriend Jiesla. "Stacy calm down."

"Sorry," Anastasia apologized as she took a sip of her bottled water.

Jason reached up to brush some water off her top lip. He touched the nape of her neck and pulled her lips to his. Anastasia didn't need to worry. Jason wanted her and only her.

Noah let out a nervous laugh as his father paced the floor. For some strange reason his father hated the Cranes. But that didn't mean he would hate Chasity too. Right?

Wrong.

"Chasity Crane?! Come on Noah she's bad news," Sam exclaimed.

"You don't even know her!" Noah argued.

"Her last name is Crane. That's all I need to know."

Noah threw his hands in the air frustrated at his father's ignorance. "She is a good girl Dad."

Sam shook his head. "No she's the same as her mother. Heartless, manipulative, and evil."

"For your information our Mother are none of the words that came out of your mouth."

Sam turned around to see a seething Camilla and Chasity standing behind him.

"Camilla why are we bothered by what this local thinks of our mother?" Chasity asked her older sister. "As far as I'm concerned he doesn't even deserve to breathe the same air she breathes." Chasity stalked out the Youth Center despite Noah and Paloma's protests.

Gia stopped talking with Kay and Simone when she felt someone watching her from afar. She turned around to catch Nikolas gawking at her from the entrance. Realizing he was caught, Nikolas turned around and began to talk with Luis.

"So you know Nik?" Kay asked her as they resumed hanging up decorations on the ceiling.

"Unfortunately."

Simone shot Kay a questioning look as they watched Gia exit the corridor coyly bumping into Nikolas on the way. "What was that all about?"

Kay shrugged her shoulders in reply.

*~*~

Paloma tapped Luis on the shoulder as he was talking with Nikolas. Luis turned around and flashed his baby sister a smile forgetting the previous incidents that happened with her.

"I'm going to head home to get ready."

Luis frowned. "At 4? The dance doesn't start until 7."

"You know how much time Theresa needs to put that goo on my face and to put my hair in some weird concoction."

Luis laughed at his sister's honesty. "Okay. I'll see you later right?"

"Of course." Paloma kissed her brother on the cheek and turned to leave.

Marcy walked up to Camilla as she saw her cousin storm out the Youth Center. "Cami what's wrong?"

"Stupid locals," Camilla muttered as she ran a shaking hand through her hair. "Chasity ran out after we heard Chief Bennett badmouthing mother. Now she's nowhere to be found."

"Ok calm down. I'll search the park. You look around here. She couldn't have gotten far. You have the keys and she hates walking in her pumps."

Camilla turned around in a huff and collided into a body. A very familiar body. "What are you doing here?"

*~*~

Noah let out a sigh of relief as he found Chasity shivering on a bench in the park. He took his parka off and draped it over her shoulders. She didn't bother to turn around.

"Are you okay?"

Chasity scoffed. "How would you feel if somebody called your mother heartless?"

Noah sat next to Chasity and hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry about that. My father hates you family for some unknown reason."

"What else is new?" Chasity commented cynically. "So does this mean you won't hang out with me anymore?"

"No! I don't care what your last name is Chas. I like you for the person you are. And if my father can accept that, well…"

"Tough," Chasity finished with a smile.

Noah smiled back as he helped Chasity up. "Right. So will you accompany me to the dance tonight?" he asked.

"I would love to."

Paloma smoothed her hands over her outfit before she rang the bell. 'hat are you doing here?' she thought to herself. 'You should have called first. He probably forgot all about you anyway.' She turned around to leave but turned back around when she heard the door open.

"Yes may I help you?"

Paloma put on a smile and looked up to see Rebecca Hotchkiss in some skimpy green number.

"Theresa! How dare you come here. Who let you in?"

"I'm not Theresa. I'm Paloma her sister. Is Bradley home?"

Before Rebecca could reply, Bradley dressed in black dress pants and a red dress shirt appeared behind his mother. "Paloma what are you doing here?" he asked ignoring his mother's icy glare towards Paloma.

Paloma sighed with relief when she saw the smile on his face. 'So he is happy to see me.' "Hey Brad. Can I talk to you? Alone?"

Bradley caught her signal and grabbed his car keys. "Mother I'll be back late."

"But…" Before Rebecca could finish Bradley closed the door in her face,

"Where to?"

"My house and then the Youth Center," Paloma replied.
