After I took my exam, I headed over to Chase's house. "Stella do you think you could take me to my house? Andrew left without me..douche bag." "Yeah I mean we're going to the same place. But I have to stop for gas first." We walked together to my car, I could tell people were staring at us, our bug fight in the halls and the fact that I was dating Harry Styles, well maybe not dating but were close to it. I pulled into a gas station an found an empty spot. "I'll get it for you!" Chase smiled. "Ohh, you don't have to really!" "I want too I owe you anyways for being such a jerk." "Okay.." I wasn't about I start complaining I mean free gas. After ten minutes he return back in the car. "I guess my car was thirsty!" I laughed. "Yeah.....do want to get lunch in starving?" "Sure, I was actually going to mention something. We're too?" I asked. "I know this great place in Malibu...but I don't think you want to drive down there." "Hell yeah I'll drive there! Schools out, why don't we pick up "the douche bag" Andrew and Priscilla?" "That would be fun, but I kinda need to talk to you..." "Oh right I forgot, sorry. To Malibu we go!" The car rude wasn't as awkward as I thought, we just talked about old parties we used to go too. "Do you remember when everyone was trying to make you do the Kug stand?" He laughed. "Yeah! That was like my favorite party at your house. I can't believe that was two years ago...time flies I guess." "Yeah that was my favorite party too, because I meet you." He turned to me and smiled. I just smirked back. I turn the music a little louder when I heard "Kiss Me" on the radio. "Can we not listen to this song?" He said. "Why? This is like my favorite song!" "I know but...it's weird already hanging out with you when your dating him." "Sorry, I'll put something else on, I guess." After an hour of driving I pulled into a parking spot at a seafood place. "Seafood my favorite!" I said. Chase held the door for me, "Thank you!" I smiled. "How many?" The hostess said. "Two." Chase replied. We followed her to a cute table in the back of the restaurant. "Enjoy!" We looked three the menus and I decided on a crab and shrimp salad. "What are you getting?" I asked. "Probably the Shrimp and Crab salad. You?" He said. "Same! We always pick the same thing, it's so weird." I laughed. The waiter came and Chase placed both if our orders in. "This is nice." He smiled. "What do you mean?" "Going out to lunch with you, Stella I've missed you so much. That fight in the hall last week I didn't mean any of that." "I had a feeling you were just saying that too be tough." "We'll I won't put it like that..." He laughed. Our meals came and we both quietly ate them. "I'll pay for this." "No you won't I got this. Consider this a date!" He winked. "Chase...you know I'm with Harry." "No Jess told me you an him are in a break. So since you won't be seeing him all summer, I'm all yours." He laughed. "Chase, stop." "What? In trying so hard to get you back Stella. I really love you. I didn't mean to ruin our relationship like that. I'm sorry that I wasted my first time have sex with Francesca and not you." "Yeah I wasted mine with you and not Harry." "That was harsh." "Sorry your just making me mad right now. I'll be outside." I got up from the table and when on the bench that was facing the ocean. I heard Chase coming up behind me, and I felt his hand on my back. "Stella I'm not trying to make you made. I'm just trying to get the girl I love, back. Like I want to know what's holding you back?" "Nothing, it's just I'm with Harry an he's been nice to me this whole time. With you it was always fighting because I wanted to hangout with you and you wanted to go to parties all the time." "So you expected my apology about sleeping with Fran?" "It took me awhile to he over it but yes." "Thanks" I could tell the he's heart was broken. I felt really bad so I out my head in his shoulder an wrapped my arms around him. "Stella?" "What?" "Can you take me home?" "Sure!" The hour car ride was quiet besides the radio of course. I felt so bad, I've never seen him so sad before. I mostly thought on the car ride, why I left him. Everyone makes mistakes, I did stuff behind his back before that he still doesn't know about. "Chase?" "Yeah..." He said quietly. "When we were dating I did something behind your back too." "Like what..." "I did something with your older brother." "What did you with him..." This could change everything.
