We fought again. I can't believe that Chase and I fought AGAIN! Chase and Adam were roughhousing and Chase was trying to hit him with his lightsaver thing that I now know is called a laser bow, and he accidentally knocked over my drink, spilling it all over me! I was pretty mad, but I tried to tell myself that accidents happen, but after it happened, Chase continued to fight and didn't pay me any mind at all!

  After the fight, Chase acted like nothing happened, and that's when I proposed that we take a break. Taking a break from someone is different than breaking up with them, but I was honestly on the verge of breaking up with him again. Once again, we started our constant bickering and arguing, but before it got any worse, that is when Chase said, "Let's take a break."

...

  I feel lost again. Completely lost. I am lost without Chase Davenport, but I'm not letting onto to anybody, including Chase, that I'm desperate. We start sleeping in separate rooms again, and when I start screaming from a nightmare, I do my best to muffle it, even though I can only calm down if Chase is holding me. I usually can't go back to sleep, so I get up and start quietly wondering around the house, sweaty and shaky, not able to completely recover from the nightmare because Chase wasn't there to calm me.

  I decide to stop by the kitchen and get a snack. I open the refrigerator, my hands still shaking, and slowly pull out a carton of milk and a box of chocolate-chip cookies. I set them slowly down on the counter and start to eat, but I am startled when I hear a distinct voice. "Lyrica," it whispers. I turn around to see Chase standing behind me. "Are you okay," he asks. "I-I had another nightmare," I admit, still shaking as I put down my half-eaten cookie. "Why didn't you come get me," he asks, his voice full of worry. He walks over to me. "Well, we're taking a break from each other," I say. "Asking you to sleep with me wouldn't really be taking a break." He sighs, "Just because we're taking a break doesn't mean that you can't come to me if you need me." He wraps his arms around me and I feel myself relax. I wrap my arms around his belly and snuggle into his chest. "Are you still here," I ask. He hugs me tighter. "Right here," he says. I smile, "Good."
