Chapter 22- As I Stood On Her Doorstep
~Chase's POV~
As I stood on her doorstep, I finally began to dread what I was about to do. It was an early fall afternoon, and cutting wind whirled through the trees and my thin apron alike as it tousled my peachy strawberry blond hair. I took a deep breath of the frigid air and clenched my suddenly sweaty hands into determined fists. I mustered up the courage to knock and poised my knuckles against the wooden door when it suddenly burst open. I stumbled back, catching myself before I could fall and look like an idiot. When the door opened fully, I saw her looking at me with a surprised look on her face.
"Chase?" her eyebrows scrunched up, confused. I was just about to smile at the cute look on her face, but then remembered what I was here for.
I steeled myself. "We need to talk." I said. I looked closer at her face and noticed her eyes were red and puffy. Had she been crying or something? I stubbornly pushed the thought away before I could get all sentimental. "Um….okay." she squeaked softly, obviously nervous. She stepped outside and closed the door behind her.
"What is it Chase?" she inquired timidly. 'She's probably scared that I figured something was up…' I thought. My face scrunched up in an angry scowl. I decided to just get to the point.
"I saw it yesterday. Don't go trying to pretend like it didn't happen." I growled.
"What…what are you talking about? I didn't even see you at all yesterday!" she said defiantly, but with an edge of…guilt? I couldn't tell for sure, but that only made me angrier.
"Don't try to play dumb, either! I saw you kiss him. Gill. Don't make excuses!" I declared as she desperately tried to butt into my yelling rant.
"Geez, let me talk, will ya?" she seethed. "It wasn't my fault!"
"Oh please! Spare me your freaking lies!"
"But he was-"
"Just stop!"
"Why don't you trust me?"
"I saw what I saw!"
"He kissed me, you idiot!"
"And you didn't pull away! What the hell is up with that, huh?"
Coryn shut up for a second, looking down at her shoes and biting her lip. I was seriously pissed off. I couldn't believe she had the audacity to even lie so blatantly like this. I thought I could trust her, but apparently I was extremely wrong.
"You enjoyed it, didn't you? Thought hey, maybe Chase won't find out! Maybe I can just kiss little Gilly 'til I get bored!" I berated her sarcastically. Coryn had small, angry tears falling from her eyes.
"Chase, I'm really-"
"You're really what, huh?! Sorry? Because that just makes everything all better, doesn't it?"
Coryn flinched at my icy sarcasm. Then her eyebrows scrunched together and she looked up defiantly.
"Well, I have every right to be angry too! You are so bull-headed that you won't even listen to people who care about you! You just push them away at the earliest opportunity, don't you? You don't trust me at all!"
"Just shut the hell up! We're done." I concluded. "I don't want to date some slut. Go find Gill and play with his feelings instead!" I yelled, turning away and storming towards the inn since I had to go to work. I felt absolutely miserable though. I'd said some pretty nasty things, but hey, she deserved it.
We were over, and there was no turning back now. Now all I could do was fervently hope that cooking could take my mind off of what I'd just done.
I slammed the door open once I got to the bar by accident, causing Kathy to jolt and look at me with an annoyed expression.
"What's wrong with you, Chase?" she questioned, rolling her eyes.
I huffed loudly. "Nothing." I said as I headed back to the kitchen and avoided making eye contact with her. I could feel her green eyes watching my back warily, but heard her sigh and return to wiping down the tables.
Please don't murder me. I'M SORRY! But come on guys, the summary of this story basically tells you to be prepared for this from the start. Seriously.
Coryn and Chase aren't a couple anymore:( So the Coryn and Chase lovey-dovey arc is over... what will happen net? StAy TuNeD!
