"CHAAAAASE GIVE ME BACK MY AXE!"

"Yeah! We don't need another axe wielding lunatic! Luke is bad enough!"

"HEY!"

"I really hate running."

Running after a seemingly very angry Chase, Molly, Kathy and Luke all gave their best attempts in getting the man to put Luke's axe down before he made his way over to Simon's photography studio. None of them had ever seen the man so angry before, and were scared at what he could possible do when wielding an axe. They also, however, wandered why he felt the need to steal Luke's axe when he had a vast array of knives at his disposal.

"I don't think that he's listening to us!" yelled Luke to the women behind him who were slowly starting to run out of breath.

"Well no Shit!" Kathy, who was also getting pretty annoyed by this point, quickly snapped back before coming to a halt.

"Kathy?" Stopping as well to see what was wrong, Molly stood beside her friend as she tried to catch her breath. Signalling to Luke to carry on running after Chase, Molly waited until he was out of site before continuing.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you think is wrong? I may be good at riding horses, but when it comes to running...no."

"That's because you drink so much."

"Oh don't start the drink lecture again now Mol! I hear it from you at least twice a week. It probably has nothing to do with my lack of physical fitness anyways. "

Holding back a giggle, Molly playfully slapped a now recovered Kathy on the back. "Shall we go catch up with them now?"

"I don't see why we should."

Giving a confused look, Molly just stared at her friend for a while. "But Kathy! He could kill somebody!"

"Psssh, as if. Even at his angriest I don't think that Chase could even hurt a fly, let alone kill a person. Besides, that man needs to pay for the photo's he took, so why not let the guys have some fun with letting their rage out?"

Thinking over the possibilities for a moment, Molly weighed up all of the options in her head, coming to the conclusion that yes, getting Simon to pay for what he did was a better route to take than to risk somebody getting hurt. Smiling to herself, Molly realised just how much Kathy's logic failed.

Fails in a good way, however.

"I take that smile as a yes?"

"You bet. We better go check up on them eventually though."

"Sure we will, but for now..." jumping up on one of the towns many ledges, Kathy helped Molly up as well. "We'll just sit here until it gets too cold."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I'm innocent I tell you! I never printed the pictures, honestly!"

By the time Luke had caught up with Chase, it was far too late. He was already inside of the studio, waving an axe around in Simon's face in order to get him to pay up for what he did. Thankfully though, Luke noted that the waving around of the axe wasn't really going to cause any harm.

"Then who did? Is there another photographer in town that I've never heard of before?" Lowering the axe slightly, Chase leant himself on the counter at the back of the shop, preparing himself for what could be a long conversation.

Sighing in relief that the axe had now be lowered, thus putting him out of danger a bit less, Simon sat back down in his chair.

"What I'm trying to say is" he began, whilst going over to get his order book, " I may have took the photographs, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I printed them."

"Hmm?"

"Look here:" flicking to a rather large order, Simon pointed out one name in particular.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me..." Chase mumbled whilst the previous anger from earlier quickly returned.

"Nope, she was the one who asked for them to be printed. She accidently saw them when coming in to pick up an order of her own, and seemed very interested in them. I wander why."

Holding his hand to his chin in thought, Simon pondered the reason for this, eventually putting the two and two together.

"That could be it!" he exclaimed out loud. "Chase, you and Molly don't have a thing going on now, do you?"

Blushing slightly, Chase (Unlike Molly) managed to regain the majority of his cool when being confronted with the man's question.

The key word here being majority.

"N...No...why would you think that?" he managed to stammer out, turning his face to the side. It was then that he noticed Luke standing a little ways behind him.

"Shit..."he inwardly thought as noticed the smirk on the other man's face. Like most people, Chase had realised early on that Luke may be a bit of an idiot, but he could certainly be sneaky when he wanted to be.

Noticing the panicked look upon his face, Simon decided to use the opportunity to get revenge on the man for falsely accusing him of doing such a terrible thing. And on top of that accusation, he also hit the door with the axe on the way in, leaving a rather large mark down the middle of it.

Oh yeah, he was definitely going to milk this situation.

"Oh really. Well, you certainly seemed a bit flustered now, however hard you try to keep your cool."

"Y..yeah, We-ll that's because, because..."

Not giving him a chance to finish, Simon carried on with his 'tormenting' as he liked to think of it as.

"Well maybe if there's nothing going on between you two, maybe you have feelings for her? I mean after all, the pictures don't compromise you in any ways, and since Kathy is already in a close relationship with Owen...it only makes sense that you should be angry at the thought of Molly not being interested in men. Am I right?"

Not being able to hide his embarrassment any longer, Chase (Who was now rather nice tomato red colour) ran out of the room, muttering various obscenities under his breath.

"I'm going to kill her!" he yelled as he rather forcefully pushed the door open.

Unfortunately for him, he pushed it open at the wrong time, and a bit too forcefully.

"Ow!" came a startled cry in response, the owner of the cry obviously just been hit by the door.

"Molly!"

Stopping in his anger run, Chase turned around to find Kathy frantically scrabbling for a tissue in order to stop the bleeding which had appeared on Molly's nose.

Guilt rushing over him, he went back over to Molly who was now trying not to cry, and could be heard muttering something along the lines of "it better not be broken..."

" Molly, I..." not really knowing what to say, hell, not even knowing whether 'I'm sorry' would be good enough right now, the man just stared at her whilst she looked up at him with watery eyes.

"Way to make me feel even more guilty..."he thought whilst trying to find something to say.

"I'm not crying, my eyes are just watering from the stinging."

"...Oh."

"Ah, this thing won't stop bleeding!" Kathy, who had taken on the role of nurse during the situation, looked at her watch before sighing as she realised that the clinic was closed.

"We better go and see if they'll tend to you anyways, Mol. I think your nose might be broken."

"Ugh..."

"KATHY, CHASE, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU OUT HERE INSTEAD OF WORKING?"

The booming voice made everyone jump, along with making Kathy and Chase curse at the man whi it belonged to in reposonse.

"Yeah well what are you doing yourself you old man! Now there's no one in the bar apart from Selena, and I doubt that she could look after a bar even if she tried!"

Looking over to Kathy like she was mad, Chase just stayed quiet as he waited for yet another argument to break out.

"Old man? Who do you think you're talk-" before he could start his comeback, Hayden spotted Molly out of the corner of his eye and changed his train of thoughts.

"What ever happened to you, Missy! You should get Irene or Jin to sort that out for you, it looks pretty broken to me."

"I got hit by a door, Kathy and Chase were looking after me which is why they're here, and the clinics closed." Not being able to speak properly made Molly rush her sentences, and the pain made her not willing to beat around the bush.

"Wait, I'm the one who hit her, why is she defending me...?" thought a now shocked Chase as he focused his attention back onto Molly.

"That girl is just too kind...it makes me mad." He concluded, before turning back to Hayden who was now patting him on the shoulder.

"The hell? What is it?"

"Take Molly to the clinic to see if they'll treat her. Then come back to work. I can get some food ready whilst you're doing that - I just need Kathy to serve it."

"...Um, okay."

With the commotion now died down completely, Kathy gave Molly a hug before turning around to get back to work.

"Take good care of her now! I know that you'll both enjoy the time along together." Kathy whispered in Chase's ear as she passed by, giving him a wink as he resumed the pink colour from earlier on in the evening.

Noting the blush on his cheeks, Molly just looked away, not willing to ask what Kathy had just said to him.

"I swear that girl is..."

Being cut off of the possibilities of what Kathy could have just said, Molly noticed an arm being slung around her shoulder.

"Come on, the blood loss might make you dizzy, so just lean up against me as we walk up the steps to the clinic."

"O-Okay..."

Walking to rest of the way in silence, all the two could think about was the feel and warmth of each other, and how they were both secretly really annoying this moment.

Not that the other could ever be feeling the same way though, they thought, not a chance.

Knocking on the pale coloured door, the two were greeted by a rather unhappy Irene.

"Don't you know we're closed? I'm telling you youths these days just don't know how to read - Oh Molly!"

"Sorry to disturb you this late, but we didn't really think we should wait until the morning to get this looked at."

"No, don't be sorry, come in you poor thing."

Ushering the two inside, Irene sat them down at the examination desk whilst she called Jin to come help her fix the bloodied nose up.

Just raising an eyebrow, the solemn Doctor cleared up the area before disinfecting it, something which made Molly cringe as the fluid stung the wound, and causing her to unconsciously grab Chase's arm. It was gesture which he didn't mind however, and in response to it he put a hand lovingly over top of hers.

After taking a few x-rays just to check if the nose really was broken or fractured, Irene told the two to wait whilst they processed them.

During this time, an awkward silence enveloped the two, before Chase finally decided to say what he should have done earlier.

"Molly...I'm sorry for causing this to happen to you...I shouldn't have gotten so angry..."

Now smiling as best she could due to the stiffness of her now drying nose, Molly just gave his arm which she was still holding a light squeeze.

"It's okay, accidents happen all of the time, so I'm not going to hold it against you."

"Ah well that's a relief..." slouching slightly into the chair, the man continued; "It's just that after I found out that Maya was the one who gave everyone a copy of those photos, something just came over me and made me really angry. Just why would she do something as horrible as that?"

"Well, she does hate me for one." Molly began whilst turning her head to directly look at the figure beside her, "And besides, she's so immature, does it really surprise you that much?"

Slightly laughing, Chase just shook his head in agreement. "That's actually too true, your right."

"Well Molly, I'm glad to say that you only have a slight fracture to your nose, nothing more. It will heal up by itself over time, but I just want you to come back in a couple of weeks to make sure that it's all okay, if that's alright?"

"That's perfectly fine!" Jumping up out of her seat, Molly was just glad to hear that she wouldn't be compromised by some silly accident.

Smiling as she opened the door for the two, Irene simply added on to her instructions for Molly not to push herself (Like usual) and to try and not knock the injured area, before wishing the a two good night.

Stepping out into the now cool air, Molly shivered as the late night Autumn breeze hit her bare arms.

Witnessing this, something clicked in Chase's mind, and without thinking about it, he pulled the smaller girl before him into a tight hug.

"C..Chase? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just saw that you were cold is all."

Her heart dropping a little bit, Molly could only utter a small 'oh' in response.

"That, and because I just well...wanted too. I just don't understand how you can always be so nice, Mol, so I...I just wanted to do something nice for once."

Her face heating up at his words, and the fact that he called her 'Mol', a name which only her closest friends called her, Molly simply hugged the man in return, and whispering a soft 'thank you' as she snuggled up to him.

After a few minutes to two broke apart, and Chase suggested that the two go back to the bar.

"Kathy will want to know how you are, after all."

Nodding in agreement, the two walked back over the popular building. Chase, however, still couldn't get something out of his mind.

Looking over at Molly with a frown upon his face, he studies the girl for a few moments.

"What?" she asked worriedly, whilst frowning back at the man.

"You're not really a lesbian, are you?"

Huurdurr. Well that was weird, I have no clue how that chapter turned out.
There's going to be a time skip in the next chapter, or else I can't think of anything else to write about haha. But do not cry! DO NOT CRY, it won't be a very big one. If anyone gets where the do not cry reference comes from, you get chapter involving an idea of your choice. xD

Ohhh, by the way, updates will probably be slower as of Wednesday, as I have to go back to sixth form. -.-

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter at least a little bit like usual again, and reviews expressing your thoughts on it are once again loved!
