We both went in and I directed him to my room. He moves straight to my bed and takes a seat. He was about to speak but his injured face and blood almost all over his shirt was distracting. Why does he have blood on his shirt? Of course I have millions of questions to ask.

"Before you speak, let me help you clean up first." he just shrugged in reply. "Just follow me." he stood up and followed me to the bathroom.

I took out the first aid kit and put it down. I took out all I need and started cleaning the blood that are on Chase's face. It looks like he was fighting with someone. That reminds me.

"Why are you like this?" I asked him, curiosity getting the best of me.

He just shrugs. "It's none of your business." he said looking anywhere but me.

"Then why are you in my house?" I asked getting annoyed with his answer. He just suddenly came to my house and doesn't even gives an explanation why he is here. "That is definitely my business." I said folding my arms. Yes, his reply kind of hurt my feelings, a bit.

"You know what? I'm going." he said sounding annoyed and stands up. Wait, what? He was about to leave but I quickly grab his wrist. I sighed. Why do I even care?

"Okay it's fine. I'm sorry. I won't ask you any questions again." I said feeling a bit sad that he is not opening up to me even after I volunteered to clean up his wounds. I know I'm not the right person he can open up to but I still feel kind of sad, I'm human you know.

He went back and set down. I went back to his face. Just when I was about to be done I noticed that Chase has been looking at me. My cheeks starts heating up.

"Uh, you know that's creepy right?" I said with a nervous chuckle.

"Oh yeah, sorry." he said taking his eyes away from me. I slowly nodded. Okay that was awkward.

I finished with his face and looked at his body he's wearing a white singlet that huges his muscular body, perfectly. Wow he's really huge. My eyes found it's way to his huge arms. I looked back at him only to see him looking at me with a smirk. Oh shit! he caught me starring.

I can feel my cheeks heating up, again. I quickly looked away. "Huh, can you.." I scratch the back of my neck, not knowing how to put it. "... take off your shirt."

"Oh yeah, definitely. So you can continue drooling." he smirks taking off his shirt. Man! I'm sure I'm as red as a tomato right now.

"No I wasn't, I wouldn't." I narrowed my eyes at him. He looks at me for a while with amusement.

"Okay if that makes you sleep at night." he said with a ghost smile. I just rolled my eyes.

Looking back at his body. He's shirtless. Chase freaking Martins is shirtless in front of me!! I quickly look away so he doesn't notice I was fantasizing again. I looked back at his body and make sure I don't stare dreamily.

He just has only two bruises one on his rib and the other on his eight-packs. Then why so much blood. Maybe it's not his. I started cleaning it up.

"Yeah I'm done." I said giving him back his shirt. Come to think of it, he didn't flinch or winced.

"Thanks." He took it and put it back on.

"Okay..." I really want to ask why he came to my house and why he's looking like this and why.... why?

But I just remembered I had school to go to. I gasp.

I quickly took out my phone and check the time. Oh God! It's 10:00am. I'm completely late. Oh no what am I going to do now? This is all because of Chase. I was about to yell out my frustration at him but he beats me in talking first.

"I can see you have seen how late you are to go to school. So why don't we just go and grab some ice cream?" He asked so casually like it's not missing school that we are talking about. I missed school!!

I try calming down a bit. Ice cream sounds nice. I don't even know when last I licked an ice cream but I really love it. ".....and It looks like you have nothing to do right now." Yeah he's right...

"Okay let's go." I shrugged and we both went out of the house.

🥀🥀🌷

"Okay so where are we going now?" I asked as I take a small scoop from my ice cream and shove it in my mouth. We just finished buying our ice cream I mean Chase just finished buying our ice cream. He insisted to pay so I allowed him.

So far Chase has been a gentlemen he opens my side of the car for me. He makes me laugh. I never knew he has a good side behind those cold glare of his, and scary handsome face. I get free when I'm with him, weirdly. He makes me feel special. I wanting to know him better...

"Hey why don't we go to the park to know each other better." I suggested. He gers tensed all of the sudden. I can see he's holding the steering wheel tight as his knuckles go white. Okay what did I say wrong?

"Okay." he sighs.

🥀🌷🌷

We reached the park. On our way walking to an empty bench, I saw one little family playing and laughing. The father, mother and I think the older sister were laughing at what a four years old girl was saying.

This is the perfect family I wanted. Was it too much to ask for? Just a perfect family. One with no trouble or seperated. But I still have a feeling that my parents are still alive, they are still out there. I only pray I find them soon.

"Hey, you're crying?" I looked at Chase and met his blank face but concern eyes.

"I am?" I touch my face only to feel my cheeks are wet. I took out my phone to see my face and my eyes were getting red. I put my phone back in my back pocket and wanted to use my hand to wipe my tears but I felt Chase hand on my cheeks wiping my tears. Still with a blank face like it's a normal thing to do.

I gave him a sad smile before squeezing his hand softly that's still on my cheeks whipping my tears and took them off. "Thanks." I said walking to the bench. He nods.

"So let's play 21 questions." I said while sitting on the bench.

"Sure. You start." he said gesturing for me to start.

"So let's start with the basics. What's your favorite color?" I asked.

"Any dark color and yours?"

"Maroon and what do you mean 'any dark color'?" I said quoting his words.

"Any dark color." he shrugs.

"So if I give you dark pink colored cloth, will you wear it?" I said giving him a questioning look.

"Maybe, but when I said any dark color I mean like blue, purple, black not those light colors like Orange or pink."

"Okay, so what's your hobby?" I asked him.

"Going to the gym and yours?" It took a while for him to answer this one. I should have known with his muscular huge built body that he obviously loves the gym.

"Reading novels. Okay, so what is your biggest fear?" I wonder what it is. But of course Mr. Scary Big Guy won't have one.

"You know bad boys are fearless right?" He asked raising his eyebrow.

"But I'm sure you're scared of something. Come on just tell me." I said pouting.

"Okay, okay I'll tell you. It's...." he sighs "It's rat." he said. He stares at me waiting impatiently for my reaction.

I bursted out laughing. Who knew the 'bad boy' is scared of rats.

"Hey it's not funny, and don't tell anyone. They'll think I'm weak or something." he said narrowing his eyes at me.

"Okay I promise." I said after laughing.

"So what kind of movies do you watch?" he asked.

"Romance and action yours?"

"Horror and action. Romance makes me sleep."

"Yeah if you don't focus on it from the beginning." I said narrowing my eyes at him.

We were quiet for five minutes now so I decided to ask him the question I have been willing to ask. "Hey, what about your parents? When I was at your house that day I didn't find any of them." I said giving him a questioning look. He tenses once again and I can see his hands turned into fist showing his white knuckles again. His shape jaw going tight as he grits his teeth.

"I do not want to talk about them." he said trying to keep calm, I could see.

"Oh okay. Hey make more jokes for me I love your stories." I said giving him a wide smile as I try lighting up the mood.

"Okay, sure." he said the blank stare back on his face.

But there's this feeling I'm getting. My hair at my back going straight. I felt like someone is watching us. But I just shrugged it off. There are much people in the park, someone might just be casually starring our way. I turned back to Chase. I smiled at him.

🥀🌷🌷

"Hey Ash!" Michelle yells. Okay Michelle is so happy today I wonder. She gave me a warm hug and I hug her back.

"Hi and why are you so happy today?" I said going straight to the question, curiously.

"Michelle Johnson please report to the principal's office now!!" the intercom announced.

"I will tell you later. Let me run to the office before I get in trouble for being one minute late to the office and get detention. Bye!" she said before running off.

I started zoning out to what happened yesterday. A smile made its way to my lips. I found out that Chase is really a nice guy.

I was cut off my thoughts when the bell rang. I quickly opened my locker. When a square pink paper fell down from my locker. I picked it up and looked at what it's written:

From:BS(black shadow)

To:Weakness aka Ashley

Watch your back lover girl

Okay what the hell? Why am I weakness? And what must I even watch out for?

And who is black shadow??
