A Second Shot at Love — Episode 10

Because you used to like Chase. I thought you might just want to use me to make him jealous. My smile faded. That's what everyone assumed, wasn't it?

No matter how badly Chase treated me, I would keep chasing him. My fingers tapped across the screen. I don't like him anymore. Then who do you like?

I hesitated and typed... Someone who won't lie to me. Right after I hit send, my bedroom door burst open. You're texting him?

His face turned storm dark. You actually gave Dylan your account? Give it back. Did you come to that dinner just for him?

Chase, give me my phone. Chase tossed my phone onto the bed. Then he seized my wrists and pushed me against the wall. What are you doing?

Before I could shove him away, he crashed his lips onto mine. My whole body went rigid. Rage exploded through me. I shoved him hard and slapped him across the face.

He let out a cold laugh and rubbed his cheek. You used to beg me to kiss you. Now you hook up with Dylan and I can't even touch you? Memories washed over me.

One year ago, I'd gone to the airport to see Chase off for his exchange. He walked several steps ahead of me, dragging his suitcase. Chase, wait for me! I hurried after him and tripped over the carpet edge.
