Cause nothing going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone,
Avril Lavigne, I'm with you
Chapter Fourteen
Why was this happening? A few minutes ago Chase had been asleep by her side, now he was yelling at her in the doorway. She wanted things to go back to normal. She looked up at him.
"What are you accusing me of?" She asked quietly. He stared at her.
"I shouldn't have to say." He said coldly.
"Chase you're not making any sense!" She had to make him understand. "I don't know if you think I am having an affair or something, but I am not! I swear to you." She was crying now, she couldn't stop.
"Whatever." He turned and left. Evie stared at the door; she scrambled out of bed and ran into the hallway. There were a bunch of nurses standing around watching but she wasn't paying attention. Chase was going down the stairs to the lobby. "CHASE!" She thought her throat was going to explode with the pain, but she wouldn't let him leave. She ran.
Once she reached the lobby she could see him just outside the door looking around the parking lot. It had started raining; he pulled his jacket tighter around himself. She ran after him.
"Chase!" She ran after him. He turned around and saw her in the doorway in her pajamas still. For an instant she thought she saw concern in his eyes but instantly it was replaced with a steely stare.
"What?" He shouted,
"Chase, please, please listen to me, you don't understand what happened, let me explain." She was begging, she wanted to stop but she couldn't she loved him too much.
"No, Evie, I am done, if you won't tell me the truth then I am done." He turned to leave.
"How can I tell you the truth if you won't listen to me? I couldn't even lie if I wanted to, you won't let me talk!" She started to get angry. "And if you think I would cheat on you, obviously, you don't know just how much I love you!"
"Then who was he!" Chase shouted, turning on the spot to look at Evie.
"A school friend! I told you that!" Chase opened his mouth to argue but the guy from the room came out of the hospital. He looked from soaked Chase to shivering Evie.
"Uh, Evie here I forgot to give you this," He handed a blank tape that read 'Aaron and Evie's first big night' and then looked at Chase then back to Evie. "Night!" He said brightly and walked over to a small sports car, got in and drove away. Chase was so stunned he couldn't talk all he could do was stare at the tape and he looked up at Evie, who was looking at it to.
"You video taped your self?" screamed Chase. Evie stared at him clearly not understanding him. "Well this confirms all my suspicions!" Evie continued to stare at him.
"You thinkā¦" She stared at him, and then anger filled her. "I am done trying to defend my self for something I never even considered doing! And even if this tape was what you think it is, it would have absolutely nothing to do with you!" she was yelling and she thought the pain would make her pass out but she couldn't stop. She threw the tape at him. "Here, watch it! I don't care anymore! If you have such little trust in me maybe we shouldn't be together."
Chase stared at her. "Maybe we shouldn't." The words hit her like a ton of bricks, they were cold and hollow. Fighting hard against the tears she managed to answer. "Fine." She turned and walked back into the hospital, she stopped, crying hard, to see Chase's car to pull out of the parking lot.
An hour that was how long it took for the best thing her life to fall apart. One hour.
