It's been a while, sorry but my laptop is busted and i'm using the PC which is harder :S but here's an update. :D

The song is 'Angel's Lullaby' By Richard marx

P.S: not edited so excuse my mistakes

Kenzie's P.O.V.

"We should get out of here" Chase said, panting as we finally broke our kiss 

"No" i protested, not quite ready to be away from him and panicking at the thought of getting back "I don't want to back to them, not yet." I looked up at him, my heart hammering in my chest "Can't we go anywhere else?"

"We can go to my place" he suggested and I immediately stiffened, he noticed and hastily added "No no no not like that...I mean I don' t want to...you know. I mean I want to but...you know we just met and...." he took a deep breath "There's literally a thousand people living in my house so we won't be alone . You don't have to go if you don't want to but it was the first place that came to mind, we can go anywhere you wanna go"

"I think your place would be fine" I said smiling. Somehow I knew he wouldn't hurt me, I knew that with him I was safe...or maybe it was an aftereffect of the mind blowing kiss. Call it what you may but I just didn't want to be away from him..

Chase helped me down and we walked to his car. The drive was silent, the awkwardness after the kiss finally affecting us.

"About that...kiss" I said finally breaking the silence "I don't know what came over me"

I saw him grimace "So you" he cleared his throat "So you regret it?"

"Strangely..." I said biting my bottom lip in reminiscence of the kiss "No" I suddenly frowned, remembering Luke's comments about my disgusting kisses "did...did you?"

"hell no"  I smiled as he parked his car in front of a huge house "home sweet home" I stared at the house in front of me with shock. It was even bigger than the last one. It was a freaking mansion.

"This is your house?" I asked still staring at the humongous mansion "How many people live here exactly?"

"A lot" he said with a chuckle "Come on" he got out of the car and ran to my side, opening the door for me. I blushed at the gesture. When we almost reached the door I hesitated, I didn't want to see anybody, I didn't need the people giving me weird looks, wondering why a girl like me would be hanging out with a guy like chase

"isn't there..." i hesitated "isn't there a way we can sneak in without anybody seeing us? I don't feel comfortable with meeting new people"

He seemed to think about it and then nodded "Sure" he turned around and walked towards a tree and then looked back at me "Come on are we gonna have a repeat of what happened about an hour earlier" I frowned knowing he'd have no problem throwing me over his shoulder again.

"Fine" I said walking towards him. he kneeled and I wrapped my arms and legs around him as soon as he stood up he started climbing the tree effortlessly. I was fascinated by the way his muscles flexed and moved as he climbed . We got to a window and he opened it and climbed in. 

I was instantly surrounded by his scent and knew it was his room. He left me in the darkness and I heard his footsteps before the light went on.

the room was simple enough with blue walls and black furniture. There were a couple of shirts on the floor but it wasn't a mess.

"nice room" I said walking and sitting on the edge of the bed "Are you sure no one would mind that I'm here?"

"Nah" he said sitting next to me "As long as we don't cause trouble no one cares" I nodded and we remained in silence after a while he finally spoke "After this night...can we still meet?"

"I guess so" I said "But I live away from here we can't see each other a lot"

"So we'll talk on the phone, email...there's a million ways.My friend, Jason. He talks to this girl on email they met a while ago and they've become best friends and they haven't even met except for sending pictures. here, lok give me your phone"

I pulled out my phone and gave it to him and he wrote something and then showed me the screen, he had added himself as a contact  "you can call me" he said "Anytime"

"Why?" I asked, not believing a guy like him would want to stay in touch with a girl like me 

"because you're amazing Anne"  he said and my eyes watered, no one had ever said that to me His expression turned to confusion "Why are you crying?"

I chuckled "Can you do me a favor chase?" I asked and he immediately;y nodded while gently wiping my tears. "Kiss me"

He seemed surprised but then he smiled and a strand of my hair behind my ears and grabbed my chin and tilted my head towards him. As soon as his lips brushed mine we immediately started kissing passionately. The kiss deepened, his tongue brushing my bottom lip, asking for entrance which I immediately granted.

I fell back on the mattress with him hovering over me, still kissing me passionately. I found myself tracing the muscles on his chest as he shuddered.

"Anne" he said against my lips and I ignored him and continued kissing him "God...Anne, we have to stop" 

He pulled away and rolled away from me, breathing heavily with his hands clenched. I felt the sting rejection, of course he wouldn't want me. Luke didn't and he certainly wouldn't.

"I...I'm sorry"

He apparently sensed the hurt in my voice and sighed before he turned "I'm sorry Anne I just...didn't want to lose control with you. I really like you Anne and I want to give us a shot, we have a lot to talk about." I nodded still not believing him "Anne, I mean it" he crawled on the bed and wrapped me in his arms when he reached me so that my head was on his chest. 

I nodded not speaking just loving the feel of his arms around me, he provided enough warmth that I found myself taking off my scarf and throwing it to the floor.

Chase kept brushing my hair the calming motion making me sleepy "Chase?" I said sleepily

"Yeah?"

"Thank you" I said and barely heard him saying 'for what?'' before I fell asleep.

"KENZIE" Lucy said breaking me out of my daydream. I looked at her and saw her yawning "Why weren't you answering me?" She asked sleepily

"I got distracted" I said sweetly and then looked at Charles and Claire "Do you guys want to go to bed?"

Charles shook his head "I want to wait for Uncle Chase" he said and I grimaced, I hadn't seen Chase all day and for that I was thankful. After the awkward dinner the other day when Patrick kept dropping hints that me and him are together and Chase was getting madder and madder.

"Lux said Chase was going to be late Char, you need to go to bed, okay?"

"but I don't want to go to bed" Claire said "I have nightmares"

I looked at her in confusion "of what sweetheart"

"of mommy and daddy" she said and I felt my heart ache for her, it wasn't fair for these kids to lose their parents.

"I'll tell you what" I said "if you go to sleep now I'll sing to you the song I used to sing to my brother before he went to sleep okay?"

Claire's face lit up and she ran to her bed, so did Lucy and Charles. I chuckled and walked towards the bed.

"So now you want to sleep" I teased and Claire giggled 

"please sing the song Kenzie" Lucy said and I nodded, I hadn't even thought of the song ever since Gabriel died.

I sat on the edge of Claire's bed and reached out and brushed her hair and started singing.

I was never alive
Till the day i was blessed with you

When I hold you late at night
I know what I was put here to do 

I started remembering all the nights I spent next to Gabriel when he was sick just praying he'd get better.

I turn off the world and listen to you sigh
And I will Sing my angel's lullaby

Know I'm forever near, the one you can always call
Right now all you know to fear, are the shadows on your wall

My eyes started watering remembering when I sang the song to him the last time, I knew he wouldn't wake up when he slept and the tears rolled down my face 

I'm here, close enough to kiss the tears you cry
and I will sing my angel's lullaby

My voice started breaking as I kept singing, memories of Gabriel finally coming to mind. I hadn't allowed myself to think so much about him, remembering my promise not to cry.

So tell me how to stop the years from wasting
Is there a secret someone knows

I'll never catch all the memories I'm chasin
Never be ready to let go

And when the world seems cold
and you feel that all of your strength is gone

There may be one tiny voice
Your reason to carry on

I noticed the children's eyes were closing as they drifted to sleep and I tucked tucked them all in properly so they wouldn't get cold 

And when I'm not close enough
To kiss the tears you cry

You will sing my angel's lullaby

I ignored the tears streaming down my cheeks as I planted a small kiss on each of their foreheads

Let this be Our angel's lullaby

I took a deep breath and turned off the light as i went out of the room and closed the door behind me, I needed to go home.

"What happened Kenzie?" Chase's voice came from behind me and I froze but didn't turn around, knowing he'd see my tears. I knew he'd heard the song and that he knew I was crying so I understood his question

"Gabriel died" I stated and started walking away but Chase grabbed my arm firmly but not enough to hurt and made me turn around. His expression turned pained as he saw the way I looked.

"I'm sorry"

I chuckled "For what? it's not like you killed him" I said and started walking away.

"Damn it Kenzie just talk to me. Can you really not tell me what you're feeling...no scratch that I know what you're feeling now but is it so hard to trust me enough to tell me, to talk to me."

"it's not a matter of trust" I snapped at him "It's about being weak or being strong" My bottom lip trembled but I didn't care "A long time ago I swore never to be weak again" I looked at him straight in the eye "never"

"Why? he asked seeming to tense "Who left you like this Kenzie? Who made trusting people so hard for you. Tell me the bastard's name"

I froze, and stared at him in shock "You're imagining things" I said trying to steady my voice.

"Am I? At the party when we met while you were running there was a guy behind you. And I noticed your hesitation and insecurity but I didn't think anything of it. But now, watching how you push everyone away except for Patrick, and even with him you don't let go completely, I know that some asshole did this to you"

"You're wrong" I said, my voice quivering and I knew I wasn't very convincing 

"And you're letting some guy dictate the way you are now. You're letting him affect you, so go on kenzie. Give him the satisfaction of knowing he got to you"

"How dare you!" I said anger finally lacing my words "What gives you the bloody right to--"

"This" he interrupted me, cupping my face in both hands and crushing my lips to his. I was fully prepared for rough and deep kisses, instead I was surprised and touched by the gentleness of it. After all those years his lips still tasted the same, still gave me the same goosebumps and butterflies.

He pulled away finally but kept his eyes closed and his forehead against mine "It could be amazing Kenzie. you and I, just us. I'd show you how much I love you everyday and I'd erase all the bad memories, all the insecurities. Just give us a chance baby, please"

A sob tore it's way out my throat and I pulled back "I'm sorry" I said taking steps backwards "I can't...I'm sorry" I turned and ran ignoring the looks as I got out of the house and started running home.

I woke up to feel big strong arms holding me and instantly smiled at the security they gave me. I heard my pager beep and instantly grabbed my purse and checked it

Fever it said and my heart dropped. A fever with Gabriel is more dangerous than with normal people because of his condition. I got up slowly from beside Chase and went to the bathroom and washed my face, i knew my mom would be going crazy now especially when I'd come home in the same dress I was wearing but I didn't care.

I carried my purse and planted a small kiss on Chase's lips "Thank you for helping me escape, even if it is for one night" I whispered and then walked out the door looking back one more time at the sleeping figure on the bed. I checked my watch and saw it was 5 AM. I subconsciously reached for my lips, letting my fingers trace them and smiling at the tingling sensation that was still there. it was a perfect night and I knew i'd never forget Chase Morgan but I had to get back to reality.
