See much quicker than before! Thank you guys so much for the alerts, reviews and favorites. Glad you guys like it. This actually my favorite chapter because you can see Chase and Kay's friendship. Please let me know what you think of it!

"Wait you knew Chase Collins?" Caleb repeated making sure he heard right as the others just stood there speechless.

"Yea, before I came here. He left like two years ago though." She started rambling. " His father didn't want them living in the neighborhood anymore. It was weird they moved out of nowhere. I had to sneak into his room and that's when I saw all the boxes. He couldn't even give me a real explanation to why he was leaving." She took a deep breath then looked back at all of them. "Wait, you said you know him right? Do you guys know where he is?" Hope. That's the main thing Caleb saw in her eyes, hope and happiness.

"Look, Kay, the things is-"

"Cause I knew he went to a school up here but I didn't know where. I hate the way we left things. I couldn't even look at him. Where is he?" She said looking dazed hoping she found her best friend again.

"Kay!"

"What?"

"Look at me and listen ok." He insisted.

"Caleb? What's going on? Where's Chase?" Her eyes were now worried.

"You need to understand one thing first, Chase Collins isn't a good guy."

She looked up at him like he was crazy. "Where is he?" she said raising her voice. She knew something was wrong. She could taste it.

"He was one of us, one part of the lost line."

"Are you crazy? He didn't even know about this stuff! I never even told him about it."

"He did know about it and he was corrupt." He paused. "He's dead Kay."

The look on her face went from shock to sadness and then anger. "Who did it?"

"During my ascension he attacked me and we fought until I finally killed him. He attacked Sarah and Kate. He even put Pogue in the hospital." He quickly explained trying to get the look of betrayal and disappointment off of her face.

She looked at Pogue quickly then looked back down.

"Collins isn't even his last name."

"Shut up," she said barely audible."

"He was adopted. Those weren't his real parents."

"Shut up," she said a little louder but he knew she needed to hear this.

"He killed his adoptive parents, Kay. His dad got suspicious and he killed them."

"Shut up!" She screamed and smacked him clear across his face. "He wouldn't do that. He loved his dad. You didn't know him the way I did and he would never do that!"

"He's not same kid he was at 16, Kay. He might have been good then but as his powers got stronger, he got greedy, and it corrupted his mind because he couldn't stop using. People change, he changed. I'm just trying to tell you the truth. I'm your brother, your family why would I lie." He knew in the beginning he wasn't the best to her but he needed her to know now that he would never hurt her. He was only trying to be there for her.

She backed away from him slowly with hurt and sadness shadowing her face. "Chase was my family. He was everything." she said softly and with a flash of her eyes she disappeared.

"Kay!" Tyler called but she was gone. "I have to go find her." he made his was back to the entrance but Caleb put a hand to his chest.

"Tyler she has to let this sink in. Let her breathe, leave her alone for now."

"No, I'm not going to leave her like everyone else has." He said and ran up the stairs to his hummer.

Kay reappeared next to her car and drove back to the dorms. She sat on her bed with nothing but sadness running through her body. Memories of her and Chase running threw her head

Flashback One

"I'm soaked," Kay said as she walked through Chase's window. Chase smiled when he saw her drenched to the bone. "We'll that's what you get for dancing in the rain, who does that"

"Shut up, I do."

"And that's exactly why I'm broke, because I waste all my money on all that chicken soup I buy for you."

"Mmm chicken soup." Kay said with her eyes lit up.

Chase laughed and pointed at his dresser.

"You're going catch pneumonia one of these days."

"Not while you're around."

Flashback Two

Chase came home to find Kay lying on his bed not moving.

"Hey, what you doing here sleepyhead?" He looked at her and saw jagged cuts all along her arm.

"Kay," he shook her panicking. He sat her up and placed a hand on the back of her head and felt warm stickiness on his hands. He looked at his hand and saw blood dripping from it.

"Kay, Kay" he screamed shaking her. "Kay, say something… please"

"Chase," Kay said weakly.

"Kay I'm going to bring you to the hospital okay," Her eyes stayed closed and she didn't reply.

Kay opened her eyes to see nurse standing next to her with a chart in her hand.

"There you are you're finally awake," the nurse said. "If it wasn't for your friend who's sleeping over there you would have been a goner with how much blood you lost."

"What?"

"He said he found you on his bed you only mumbled a word but when you knocked again he got you here with in 5 minutes."

"5 minutes?"

"Yup that's what he said he must have been driving like a mad man."

"His car's in the shop" she said lowly to herself.

Chase woke up and looked at Kay he smiled happy to see she was awake. "Kay, it's time to tell me what happened."

"My mom," she said looking down.

"You're going to stay with me."

"Chase I can't she needs help. Not for me to just leave her or she's going to get worse. I would if I could trust me."

"Can I ask you something?" Kay nodded her head. "How did you get to my house you couldn't have possibly had the strength to make it there."

"How did you get me to the hospital in 5 minutes when your car is in the shop?" she countered.

They both looked at each other and paused. "I'll tell you some other time." they said at the same time and lightly chuckled at their separate secret.

Kay sighed at lying to Caleb about her mom only hurting her once. She saw the look in his eye when she said her mom had cut her up she didn't want to make him feel worse about but now she wished she hadn't lied. She wanted him to know how much her home life sucked and how he had killed the only person who made it better. But that thought slowly trailed out of her mind as she continued to think of Chase.

Flashback three

"I'm not stealing that car with you." Kay said looking at Chase like he was crazy.

"Please, we'll put the top down, you know the wind in your hair." he said playfully rubbing her head.

She slapped his hand away. "Chase we have trust funds, bank accounts, and credit cards if you want a car go buy one because I'm not getting in this car with you."

"Come on, Kay, live a little."

"No if you want a thrill find a rollercoaster, go skydiving, I don't know but I'm not getting in."

"Please for me." he pouted.

"Is that your best defense?" she said with a raised eyebrow.

Chase stuck out his fist. "Got my back," It was the phrase they said to each other since they were nine, meaning they would always have each others back, if one jumped so would the other. she looked at his outstretched hand and rolled her eyes.

"And everything in between," she said as she hit her fist with Chase's with a small smile.

"Yes! Let's go! We have the open road to see." he screamed happily and they both got in the car.

Flashback Four

"You had no right to punch him like that Chase, god."

"I don't see the problem here; he shouldn't have been touching you like that. He was practically assaulting you." He raised his voice, fist balled up at sides.

"No he wasn't what's up with you? You've been acting weird for weeks now.."

"You can do better."

"Like who? You hate every guy I talk to. You scare most of them off when I introduce them to you. And if you don't scare them off after the first meeting you threaten them. It's-"

She never got to finish her rant as his lips cut her off.

Flashback Five

"What's all this?" Kay said as she entered threw the window and saw all the boxes of stuff.

"I was going to tell you." He was already pleading for her to understand with his eyes.

"Tell me what?" she asked getting worried.

"I'm leaving. I'm going to a school up in Massachusetts. My whole family is moving."

"Why?" She needed to understand why the only person she leaned on all her life was deserting her.

"I can't tell you why exactly right now. I don't even know what's been happening to me, half the time."

"No, you don't get to leave like that. You don't get to have no explanation and just walk away!" She yelled, her tears threatening to fall.

"I wanted to tell you sooner. I just didn't know how."

"No, you're not leaving," She grasped the front of his shirt and started to bang her fist against his chest. "I won't let you, you can't I-. What about me?"

Chase grabbed the back of her head and kissed her with everything he had left. He memorized the feel, the shape, and texture of her lips.

"I love you," he said breathlessly after he broke the kiss.

She pushed away, her face centimeters away from his. Her eyes were stinging even further as she fought to keep her tears at bay. "You don't deserve to hear I love you back. You're the one who is leaving." She broke away from him and headed back out through the window.

"Kay, don't leave it like this." she stopped but didn't turn around. "Please."

"I don't think I'm going to trust anyone again at least not enough to love them like I loved you." she said and with that she left.

That night was the last time she cried. And the last time she let a boy get close enough to her to break her.

There you have it! A taste of Chase before he became so scorned and corrupt. Let me know what you think.
