So I have a Q and A coming up, and if you are interested in being a part of it, ask some questions in a review and I will answer it in my Q and A.

And now, on with the story!

I was in a dark room with large metal walls as I tried to run, but there was no escape. No doors, or windows or anything. I ran my hand through my hair over and over again in order to stop the incoming anxiety attack when I heard disoriented voice say.

"Well, well, well. Since you skipped school, you don't know how to get out. That's what happens when you are dumb."

"I'm not dumb!" I screeched before dropping to my knees in tears as I started shaking when I heard the voice again.

"But if you hadn't skipped, you'd know how to stop your anxiety attack...but now, no one will ever know what happened to Chase Dooley...such a shame."

My heart rate continued to excel as I felt sweat bead off my forehead and my breathing becoming fast and irregular while tears streamed down my face before I heard a calm, loving voice say my name.

"Chase?"

Making me shoot up while holding my hand on my chest as I looked around to see mom sitting on the edge of my bed while looking to see I was back in my room as I tried to calm down, leading her to cup my face in her hands as she kissed my forehead and ran a hand through my hair.

"What happened, baby?"

"I-I was in a room, and it was all dark and there was n-no escape and there was a voice and-"

"Chase, shh. It was just a dream. Did something happen at school?" She asked as she ran her hand through my hair.

'Yes, I'm getting bullied, but I'm not gonna tell you the problem is your boyfriend.' I thought to myself as I shook my head while she sighed.

"Well, then I guess it was just random. Are you gonna be ok?" She asked.

"I-I don't know." I replied as she sat fully on my bed and pulled me in her lap before singing the song she always sang to me when I was little or had nightmares.

"We're rocking back and forth in a rocking chair.

So you can relax so you can take a nap.

So you can get the rest you need to go about the day.

Oh little one you just need to behave.

We're rocking back and forth in a rocking chair.

Just don't make a peep you need to fall asleep

So you can get the rest you need to start a brand new day.

Oh little one you just need to, need to be brave.

Oh oh, need to be brave, oh oh."

Before she could even get to the first verse, my vision dimmed and the last thing I felt was a kiss on my forehead and a whisper.

"Goodnight, Chase."

The next day was Saturday, and I was gonna ask mom if I could invite Reese over, but she decided to make a announcement first.

"So boys, there are a few things I wanna tell you." She told us as Grandma left, claiming she had to go grocery shopping cause Leo and I "ate like animals" and cause she had probably heard this already.

Leo and I looked up from our waffles as she continued.

"Well, I found a house just a couple blocks from here, and we are moving next month."

"Do we need to pack up everything again?" Leo asked as she shook her head.

"Just the stuff you absolutely wanna bring. Otherwise we are buying new stuff."

Leo nodded before asking as I got a drink.

"What else?"

"Donald and I are engaged. We're getting married once everything is ready at the new house."

I spewed immediately as I looked at her.

"Why?"

"Chase, he and I really love each other. And you'll understand that soon enough. I love this man though."

"I'm done." I replied as I got up from the table and went upstairs to pull out my phone, since my mom ungrounded me and texted Reese.

Chase: Hey.

Reese: Is something wrong?

Chase: No, nothing. Except my mom is getting married to a jerk.

Reese: Sorry.

Chase: The only good coming out of this is we will be closer to each other.

Reese: True. So wanna meet up at the park?

Chase: Sounds good. I'll grab my stuff and head out.

I put my phone in my pocket, grabbed my sunglasses and was about to leave when I was stopped by my mom.

"Where are you going?"

"To meet up with a friend. I'll be back for dinner. I promise."

"Fine. But tomorrow we are furniture shopping."

"Deal." I promised before she hugged me.

"I love you."

"Love you too." I smiled as I left and went to the park where Reese was sitting on a bench where she hugged me immediately.

"What do you wanna do?" She asked as I grinned widely and led her over to the swings before she caught on and sat down.

"Ready?"

She nodded as I pulled it back and pushed her forward, making her laugh as I got on one myself and started swinging as well. Even if it doesn't go anywhere, I am gonna say that I am glad Reese is there to make every moment brighter. We eventually just sat on the swings, talking to each other.

"So what do you hope for in the future?" I asked her as she smiled.

"A house, good place to live, husband, maybe a few kids. I just want the best for my future family."

"Well, I want...a big house. And a singing career. And a few boys. And a wife. And a way to document it all." I told her as she laughed, making me pretend to be offended. "Well, I lived in a crappy apartment for 15 and a half years. Forgive me for having big intentions."

"No, I like it. It sounds nice. I also have a question."

"Hmm?"

"When is your birthday?"

"Tomorrow, actually." I told her with a grin.

"Well then, happy 16 birthday."

I smiled before looking at my watch with a alarmed look.

"What's wrong?"

"I have to get back for dinner. I'll see you tomorrow."

She nodded as I ran back to the house with a grin on my face.
