A/N: Since Chasity is only 15 I had to age some of the kids to fit her age just thought I'd let you know that before you started reading :)
Chapter 14
"I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention," Chasity said apologetically.
"It's no problem, my names Spencer by the way,"
"Mines Chasity," Chasity said for the first time really looking at Spencer seeing that he had dirty blonde hair and brown eyes.
"I haven't seen you around here or at School before, did you just move here?"
"No actually, I'm on spring break and I'm here visiting my brother,"
Spencer nodded.
"Hey, I was going to go meet one of my friends from school at the Pizza Shack you're welcome to come if you want to," Spencer offered.
Chasity thought about it and it sounded like a much better idea than staying at Kelly's and waiting to get into another argument with Cooper.
"Sure I'll go,"
With that, they left Kelly's.
Maxie walked up to the door of the room Cooper was staying in and gently knocked on it. When he opened the door, she could tell right away that things hadn't gone well with his sister. Once she was in the room and the door was, closed Maxie spoke up.
"I'm guessing it would be safe to say things didn't go well with Chasity,"
"Yeah we got into an argument and she ran off,"
"What exactly happened that mad her so mad at you? I get she's mad about you going into the army it just seems like she mad about more than that," Maxie said.
Cooper sighed.
"You already know about how I was the basically the only one who took care of her after our mother threw herself into work. Well my senior year I met Logan Hayes and that's how I met the non-commitment girlfriend. He was the one that brought up the army idea and we discussed it and finally decided to do it. When I told Chasity about it she fought me on it and continued to do so until the week I was supposed to be shipped out and then we didn't talk as much. But she and Logan disagreed on things a long time before the army thing,"
"So she was jealous because you were hanging out with Logan instead of her," Maxie guessed.
"Yeah that was part of it but she didn't want to be left alone with our mother because our mother had this thing where she wouldn't act like a parent unless it was convenient for her and most of that was directed towards Chasity once I got old enough to leave,"
Maxie remembered when they were in the vault after he got rid of the tough exterior all he had tried to do was protect her, now she was starting to see where his protective nature came from.
"You said you guys were close so another reason she wouldn't want you to leave because she would miss you,"
"Yeah but it sure doesn't seem like she misses me now," Cooper said referring to the argument he and Chasity had earlier.
Maxie slid her hand under the table and intertwined her fingers with Coopers.
"I'm sure she does miss you, but she probably finds it easier to be angry at you because she's afraid you'll leave again and doesn't want to get emotionally attached, that way it won't hurt as much," Maxie explained.
"You sound like your speaking from experience, I'm guessing it's because your mom?"
"Well yeah but, for some reason I was born with the talent of driving people away my mom, Mac all because I had a fear of being left and the people that I didn't push away had a tendency to die and all that did was make me angry and resentful for being left in the first place,"
Without saying anything, Cooper leaned forward and gently kissed Maxie as they tried to forget the things going on around them…For a moment anyway.
When Chasity and Spencer got to the Pizza Shack, they walked over to a table where a girl with long brown hair and eyes was sitting.
"Kristina this is Chasity, Chasity this is Kristina," Spencer said introducing the two girls.
"Hi," the two girls said in unison.
The three exchanged glances and then busted out laughing.
After the laughter, subsided Spencer and Chasity sat down at the table.
"So do you go to Port Charles high?" Kristina asked unaware of the fact that Spencer had asked almost the same question at Kelly's.
"No actually, I'm here visiting my older brother while I'm on spring break,"
Kristina nodded.
"I know I couldn't wait for spring break to start, I got so tired of having to sit in Computers class having to take notes,"
"I couldn't either I hated my P.E. class," Chasity said cringing at the thought of playing dodge ball.
"I hate having to switch into gym shoes because I can never get to class on time,"
"I know I wear those baby doll flats and they hurt your feet so bad," Chasity said.
Spencer just sat there and rolled his eyes.
"I wear those too but Spencer always gets mad because I complain about it,"
"Yeah well when you complain about it all the time it gets annoying,"
Spencer turned his attention on Chasity.
"Please tell me you don't complain about it like she does,"
"I don't think I complain about it,"
"Okay we'll get along fine then,"
After that, the three continued to talk about different things.
