Chapter 11-- Facing Chace

Tommy’s POV

‘’And then she came’’ I cringed and glared at a pile of dirt.

‘’Woah, buddy don’t kill the dirt.’’

‘’But Chris! We were so close and she just had to ruin it.’’

‘’Who is she anyway?’’

‘’I don’t even know.’’ I threw my hands up in the air and fell back on the grass.

‘’Don’t kill my flowers!’’ Chris screeched and jabbed me in the side.

Getting back up on my elbows, I looked behind me to see the flowers atleast two feet away and Chris about to break down as if his first born child was being thrown to the wolves.

‘’You are such a house wife.’’

‘’Whatever. Just get up and go inside before you get us dirty.’’ Chris scolded and pointed towards the back door we had come through earlier.

‘’Yes mum.’’ I sluggishly got up and dragged myself through the opening of the double glass doors followed by Chris who went to the kitchen.

‘’So what did you do after that?’’ He called from the fridge grabbing some lemonade.

‘’She pulled him away.’’

‘’And what did he do?’’

‘’He went with her.’’

‘’He… just went with her?’’ He stopped pulling out the glasses and starred at me.

‘’Yes. He is her boyfriend anyway.’’ I rolled my eyes and walked out to his soft white couch.

I don’t understand how Chris had so much time to keep his house clean. Everything was white or pale colours it was just impossible how it had been so white all this time with two boys living here and me coming over all the time.

Chris was just his amazing self I guess.

‘’I don’t care if you have a broken heart or a broken face, you will get your dirty feet off of my coffee table right now.’’

No. He was just demonic and controlling. I forgot that.

After hours of sitting and moping about at Chris’ house drinking all of his deliciously refreshing lemonade and constantly getting scolded, I decided it was time to go home and face my number one fear of the day; facing Chace.

‘’Come on Tommy. It’s not that hard.’’

Chris literally grabbed the doorframe of his front door, brought up his leg and kicked me out of the house. The little gorilla had sass and strength, I’ll give him that.

The walk home was dreary, not just because of my mood but because of the sky rumbling on a black canvas. The stars were barely coming through the dark puffs of clouds but in a strange way, it was beautiful.

I thought about just going to my tree and staying there a while longer, maybe even the rain would pour around the tree but not on me from the covers of the leaves. Maybe Chace would come looking for me and take covers under the tree with me where we’d spend that time doing terribly cliché things.

As all things though, my luck was not good today. The rain started to pour but I couldn’t care less. I let my shirt, hair, skin, pants and shoes soak up the water and just pool at my feet as it did with all the little occasional dents and crevices in the pathway.

‘’Oh my God Tommy!’’ Jen cried as she swung the front door open before I could even move my hand to knock.

‘’Tommy what happened to you?’’

‘’It rained.’’ I shrugged.

‘’You’re going to get sick silly willy.’’

‘’If cavemen could survive it, so can I and if I don’t, you've got to die somehow right?’’ I shrugged making Jen grimace.

‘’I hate when you say that.’’ She ran to the linen press and grabbed a big fluffy light blue towel before throwing it over my head and drying my hair off, she was always sort of motherly when she wanted to be.

‘’Where’s Chace?’’

‘’Out looking for you.’’

‘’He is?’’ I widened my eyes and Jen nodded.

‘’He was really worried about you Tommy you could have told us where you went. Where did you go?’’

‘’Chris’ house. ‘’

‘’Well go have a shower. I’ll call Chace.’’

‘’No it’s fine. I’ll go out and find hi--‘’

‘’Tommy Verlane you go get your ass in the shower right this second. I’ll call him. Now go.’’ She smiled but pointed firmly in the direction on the bathroom.

With a sigh I drudged along to the bathroom and slowly peeled the wet clothes from my body. I looked up into the large hanging mirror above the bench and sink to see my hair sticking to my face in a horrible mess from the rubbing of the towel from Jen.

The water poured over my skin in searing hot wafts and pooled to my feet in the tiled soft-yellow cubicle where all my thoughts always came to me at once.

It seemed like the days were getting longer and longer lately. Maybe it’s just stress or worry or angst. I don’t know but I could really use a call from my mum. She always knows what to do.

‘’Tommy your mum is on the phone!’’ I heard Jen call from the dining room.

‘’Speak of the devil and she shall call.’’ I laughed to myself.

Turning the tap off with a soft churning screech, I got out of the shower and made my way down the stairs with my towel wrapped around me like a dress.

What can I say? I was modest about my nipples.

‘’Hey mum. Sup?’’

‘’Don’t ‘sup’ me.’’ She laughed. ‘’And nothing’s ‘sup’ I just called to let you know my surgery is tomorrow baby I’ll be home sooner than you think.’’

‘’Really?’’ I almost jumped out of my towel I was so happy and I’m glad I didn’t because just as I was mentally cheering and calling out to Jen that mum would be home soon, Chace walked through the door.

Just as he looked at me he marched straight over and pulled the phone from my hands and hung it up.

‘’What do you think you’re--‘’

‘’Why did you leave!?’’

‘’What do you mean why did I leave!?’’

‘’I went to talk to Lilly and you just disappeared I was so worried.’’

‘’Did you expect me to stay there while you were talking to that--‘’

‘’GUYS! Seriously shut up and go sit down and eat or go to your room or do something.’’ Jen threw her hands on her hips interrupting our yelling war.

I took one look at Chace and couldn’t even stand it. I turned briskly and went back to my room where I got changed, pulled Boris out of his tank and sat him on my lap where I sat on my bed, my back against the wall and my legs crossed.

I couldn’t believe Chace had the nerve, the audacity to ask why I left. As if I’d stay there when he walked off to go talk to her.

A frustrated sigh left my lips as I picked up Boris and turned him to look straight at his turtle eyes.

‘’Boris what am I going to do?’’

Nothing.

‘’I don’t know if I should just run down there and kiss him right on his stupid lips or if I should leave him to be with her.’’

Boris blinked his little black eyes at me and tilted his head left.

‘’Oh I know that’s what you would say! You’re such a silly old fool Boris. You have to learn to live a little! ‘’ I shook my head ad turned him back around onto my lap.

‘’Knock knock.’’ I heard from the door and Chace came walked in in a pair of Levis and a Vans tank top.

‘’How much of that did you hear?’’ I could feel my face turning red but it calmed a little at his words.

‘’From ‘You’re such a silly old fool Boris’.’’ We both laughed as he tried to copy my voice and moved beside me on my bed.

‘’I do not sound like that.’’ I shook my head at his overly feminine and British attempt.

‘’You do.’’

‘’Whatever.’’

‘’Tommy. Today when we were--‘’

‘’No. It’s fine. Forget about it.’’

‘’Tommy, look at me.’’ He grabbed my face and turned it towards himself. ‘’I’m sorry for going off with Lilly but I had to. It was important.’’

I scoffed and pulled my face from his hands and turned to look the opposite way only for him to grab hold of my face again.

‘’No, Tommy please look at me.’’ His pleading voice made me look up at him just in time to feel his lips come crashing down onto mine with endless strength yet as light as a feather’s touch.

My eyes closed unconsciously as I gripped at the sides of his loose tank as if I didn’t, somehow he would just float away and I’d be left without him.

All too soon he pulled away and my eyes slowly opened at the loss where I looked into his green eyes that held emotions I couldn’t even decipher.

It finally occurred to me that his lips we’re about to move as his Adams apple bobbed at his saliva being swallowed and then his lips parted, whispering words I never expected to hear, never in a million years.

‘’Tommy, I love you.’’

A/N

How is everyone? I am SO sorry I haven’t been on but these last few months have been hard on me. I have severely hurt three tendons in my right wrist so there has been zero time for writing stories with the amount of pain I’ve been in.

School has been hard with the same problem so most of my time is spent typing out school work outside of school because it just takes too long to type now my wrist is like this. Trying to write and get work done took a bad turn and now I’m dealing with a cyst on one of my tendons as well but things are hopefully going to change.

I got two cortisone injections the other day which is a big step with my phobia of needles. Thankfully I only got two. I was supposed to get three or four so yay for that. Bad news though if this shot doesn’t end up working….I have to go for surgery. So guys just hang in there and bear with me. I’m trying my hardest <3

To make up for slow updates I uploaded a sort of… ‘What if’ book or short stories. The first chapter is basically what if my other book ‘He’s My Mate’ had a different ending. Look forward to more What If chapters involving them. Let me know what you think of it and this EYTB update guys <3
