My Unexpected Light

Doubts

Chase POV

"Chase!" she screamed from the top of her lungs. "Sunshine!" I practically sobbed out as she jumped to my embrace. "I'll never let you go again,"

I woke up jumping off my bed. It had been another stupid dream. I couldn't sleep anymore and if I did I would always have the same wonderful dream. Scarlett back in my arms.

A few minutes later.

The sound of my breathing and my pounding heart were the only things I could hear while I struck the punching bag.

I've been at it for hours neglecting the fact that I just recently broke my arm. Three weeks, that's how long we've-I've had been stuck in a room doing nothing, absolutely nothing.

Agents didn't want to risk my life since I was still a son of a billionaire. Urgh.

You must be wondering what happened to the house we were supposed to attack and get information right? Well that plan was a complete waste of time. Pearson planted them their to distract us while he moved states. One more reason I wanted to punch the living daylights out of Pearson.

I heard the door open but didn't turn to look, I continued hitting and hitting, pretended that it was someone else, someone I wanted to murder.

I punched it with all my strength,

Scarlett.

I punched again,

I'm sorry I cant find you.

And again.

I'm sorry.

"Chase!" my father practically screamed by my ear. I would have jumped from shock if I hadn't heard him earlier but I did so I only side glanced and scowled.

"they found another lead," he informed. Yes you heard him right "another lead"

We have been chasing our tails like stupid dogs following dead ends and finding out that Pearson left it intentionally.

I was tired of being defeated I've never been so helpless and I always win in a challenge, always. Pearson was a puzzle I needed to figure out and decipher.

Everyday it gets even more difficult to pass through it, but I will, I will get pass him.

Scarlett's been missing for almost a month. We couldn't give up on her, Will and Luke were about to give up one time but I fought.

I. Will. Not. Give. Up. I refuse to.

Flashback

"Chase there are no more leads to follow we can't just chase for ghosts," Will pleaded,

"I thought you promised her father you'd protect her William huh? What happened to that you were suppose to protect her," I retorted.

He opened and closed his mouth choosing his words wisely, I knew guilt tripping was bad but I was desperate, although I was also at fault. I just wanted Scar home, home with me.

"I did promise to protect her Chase and I'm-we are trying our bes--"

"You're not trying hard enough you are giving up on her now!" I cut off.

"We'll keep searching," he agreed but more telling himself than me.

End of Flashback

"What now?" I asked but my dad grabbed my wrist and glanced at my swollen and slightly bleeding fist and he winced.

"what are you doing to yourself son? You cant keep beating yourself up," he begged softly. I forcefully took my arm away from him, "its nothing."
