Chapter 12

                                    

                                          
I opened the door to see Chase, sitting on the hospital bed sound asleep with his legs up on pillows and a sling around his neck for his arm and a bandage around his neck.
                          
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING CHASE ANDREWS?" I stomped to the bed.
                          
Making Chase get up in a startle.
                          
"H-Hey...can we talk?"
                          
"OH SURE YOU CAN UNTIL YOU TELL ME WHAT WERE YOU THINKING DRIVING LIKE THAT AND WORST OF ALL HOW ARE YOU THE SECRET ADMIRER?" I demanded.
                          
"Uh...well..."
                          
"I WANT ANSWERS ANDREWS!" I screamed at him.
                          
"Okay I know you might be mad-" 
                          
"OH I AM MAD AND YOU BETTER START TALKING!"
                          
So before his explanation here s my explanation.
                          
So, I wasn't always the only child I had an elder brother,Zach. We were best-friends. And I was dating Chase back then. We were serious about our relationship. He was the bad boy I was the typical goody two shoes. It was a typical story.
                          
When my brother came to know about our relationship he was furious. But later I convinced him and we were all happy.
                          
Chase had a sister, Bethany.Zach and Bethany were dating before us. They were so happy and everything that my brother decided to propose to her.
                          
He proposed to her and she said yes. So, later we went to a high-school party where we all got drunk except for Zach and Bethany since they were our ride home.
                          
After the party, we drove home. Chase and I were at the back while Zach and Bethany ahead of us.
                          
Chase decided it would be a good thing to prank me so he lied to be about him cheating on me with Veronica. I was furious and I slapped him hard, Zach lost his concentration on the road because of me screaming and we had a crash.
                          
Bethany and Zach both died because of the impact. While Chase and I just got a few broken bones. I broke I up with Chase after the accident.
                          
"Karen, I still love you. All those things I told you back then were true and I meant each every word. You stopped talking to me, you stopped laughing you stopped doing all those things you used to do! And to get those things back I had to write you letters. I had to message you through a different number, I had to because I missed you! I still miss you, and please what happened that time I am sorry I didn't mean any harm to anyone and god damn it my sister was there too!She died too! I needed you! We both needed each other at that time, you left!"
                          
I was crying. I was crying because I missed Chase too. I was crying because I missed my brother. I was crying because my parents forgot about me after Zach's death. I was crying because Chase was right. He was right about me leaving him, he was right about me shutting him out.
                          
"I know Chase, I love you too, but, even though I want to blame you which I have been since their deaths, I knew and I still know that I was also to be blamed. If I hadn't forced all of us to go to that party. If I hadn't drunk so much. If we would have stayed at the house until morning. They would still be here." 
                          
"Hey Karen. It wasn't anyone's fault okay? Please stop crying." he cooed and pulled me to his chest.
                          
I breathed in his familiar scent. His minty scent.
                          
===
                          
"So you are still shocked that I am Secret Admirer, huh?" Chase asked.
                          
"Yes, I mean I was expecting some handsome guy, with d-" I answered teasingly.
                          
"Hey I am handsome okay? You used to drool over me back then." 
                          
Chase and I were talking like how we used to. We were still in the hospital. He would be discharged tomorrow, and I was sitting next to him on the hospital bed with his hand around my waist and my head on his chest.
                          
"No I never did that! It was always you, you used to!" I replied giggling.
                          
"Well duh! You were my girlfriend and I had all the rights." Chase replied sincerely.
                          
I felt my cheeks heat up.
                          
"And I still find it cute when you blush, and I am happy I still have that effect on you."
                          
I looked up to see his. I leaned my face up and brought my lips near his. Our lips lightly brushed until Chase crashed his down onto mine.
                          
It reminded me of that day when he kissed me in school and I stood there like a brick wall. I had suppressed all my feelings and urge to kiss him back, but right now there was nothing to worry about I kissed him just the way he kissed me, passionately.
                          
We were kissing like there was no tomorrow until we got interrupted by Dr. Sam who had a clip-board in his hand and an amused smile.
                          
"I'm truly sorry to interrupt your discussion but we need to do some tests on Mr.Anderson so excuse us."Dr.Sam said with an amused smile.
                          
"Y-Yeah sure Doctor I'll be in the waiting room if you need me." I told Dr.Sam and gave a peck on Chase's lips and walked out.
                          
My phone vibrated in my pocket, it was a message from Sara.
                          
Hey Kara! Call me ASAP! VERY IMPORTANT!
                          
-S.
                          
Ugh! I mentally groaned now what?
