Chapter 47

Chase took hold of her hand and placed it on his bare chest, "I'm real."

"Why show up now?"

"Why must I not? Did something happen?"

"Yes, Jeremy asked me to be his girlfriend."

"And what did you say to him?"

"He said I should think about it."

"Is that why you're drinking?"

"Yes, out of guilt, I should have said yes, regardless."

"So why did you not?"

"I don't know."

"Clearly you don't want to be his girlfriend."

"And how do you know that?"

"You wouldn't be here drinking."

"I will say yes when I see him."

"Fine, do that."

"Aren't you at least a bit jealous?"

"Why would I be?"

"I'm your ex."

"So? You were the one that wanted to leave my place so badly."

"You were the one who dumped me, Chase, and I told you I loved you."

"So you wanted me to lie and tell you that I loved you back?"

She swallowed a huge lump. "Part of me wanted you to, I guess."

"I see how much you wanted me."

"You're the one that made me love and lose my mind, and you know that Jeremy is not the reason why we broke up. You were looking for an excuse to leave me."

"I never looked for a chance."

"You did. All those times you already making excuses and pointing to Jeremy, you're free."

"There is no need to go back to the past, what is done is done."

"I get it, end of story."

She got up and started to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Back to my place."

"So soon?"

"Yes, I don't want to be around you at all if I have to move on."

"So we can't be friends?"

"No, when you love someone, you cannot just be their friend."

"Maybe someday."

"Why would you want to be my friend? You got plenty and a lot of them would love to be under you. They would give their life for you."

"I hope you would do that for me."

Storm shook her head at his response. He was selfish when it came to her. He was playing with her and she turned away.

She could hear him talk and he knew too that she could hear him, but Storm did not stop. Whatever bullshit he had to say, he should shove it up his ass.

Part of her thought he would come and stop her or be upset like he used to get when she walked away and refused to go to training.

He was possessive over her but now he did not care that she was walking back alone and was not that mad about her and Jeremy.

When was it going to be easier for her to move on? She always felt sorry for others who could not get past a break-up and thought she would never get entangled in such a relationship.

She had spoken too soon,

Storm stopped when she felt as if someone was following her. She heard the leaves ruffling, and it was too quiet.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

"See, I knew she could sense us."

The response chills down her body. "What do you want from me?"

"Your power."

She was confused. "What power?"

"You will find out. You don't have to be afraid."

"You tried to hurt me."

"We did not, but you will see everything comes to light."

"Fine, I will be patie...…..

Chase lunged out, and they had disappeared.
