"Yeah, actually..." I look down.
"So why is it that you can be happy, but I can't?"
He stands up, he looks upset. I feel terrible, I'm in-love
with his brother. I shrug my shoulders and go outside. Chace is
rummaging through his bag. I sneak up behind him, and put my arms
around his waist. It jumps him at first, but he turns around, and
rests his arms on my shoulders.
"Whatcha lookin' for?" I ask him, my voice still
sounds a little shaky from talking to Blake.
"Nothin'," He says. "Well, something, but
it's a surprise."
"Oh, for me?" I slide in closer to him, he nods.
"What is it?"
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise now, would
it?" He laughs. I slide back, and make a puppy dog face. He
smiles, and turns back around.
"Fine, when can I see it?" I sigh.
"Uh, when we get home." He replies. I sit by the door.
I wait for him to finish rummaging through his bag, and
come over to me. He sits down next to me. I lean on his shoulder.
"I feel like I screwed everything up." I say.
"Blake hates me, and you think I'll start liking him
again." I feel my throat swell, and my eyes start to fill
with water.
"I'm sure he doesn't hate you." Chace puts his
arm around me. "And, I just don't wanna lose you, you
know that." He whispers in my ear.
"I know, I just can't imagine how it feels to see us
happy, because I left him for you."
"Probably feels a little like it did when you met his
girlfriend." He stands up, and helps me up. His words slap
me in the face. If he's happy, I should let him be. We
go inside, and I sit down on the edge of the bed. Blake's
sleeping already. Chace and I stay quiet, watching old movies
that are on the TV. "Hey, Megan..." Chace
interrupts the silence. I look towards him. "I should really
tell you," He takes a deep breath. "I'm going into
the Marine's."
"Chace!" I try to stay quiet because Blake's
sleeping. "What!? When?! Why?!"
"Calm down, it'll start off with just about five months
training, and I'll be back for a bit. I'm supposed to
leave in about three weeks, but I've only told you and Blake.
"
"I just...." I pause. "I love you, I'd hate it
if you got hurt."
"I won't. I'll be fine." He kisses my cheek,
and turns off the TV. "Goodnight."
"How do you expect me to sleep now?" I sigh. I cover
myself with the blankets, and toss and turn until I fall
asleep.
I feel myself tossing and turning, I'm in the middle of a
nightmare, but I can't wake up from this. I keep
tossing and turning, I start to panic.
"Megan!" My arm is shaken. "Please, wake
up..." I open my eyes, confused about what just happened.
Chace looks at me, he looks so scared. My shirt is covered
in sweat.

chapter 06 //sequel to 'summer nights'
Chace and Blake talk for awhile, while their
mom shows me around the house. It's gorgeous. Nothing I'd
see back home. It's too modern. "Well, it's
nice of you both to show up." She smiles. "Would you
like some tea?"
"Uh, no thank you, I'm not much of a tea person." I
reply, trying to sound as polite as possible. She nods, and pours
herself a cup.
"So, hun, Blake told me you guys went out for awhile...What
happened, if you don't mind me asking." She sits down
across from me, her legs crossed. She's wearing pointed-toe
high-heels, while I'm sitting almost like a guy with my worn
out boots.
"I started talking to his brother, jus' before he left,
and he broke up with me." I sigh, I don't like the
feeling I get when I talk about it.
"He hasn't stopped talking about you since he got
here...You're much prettier than he described." She
smiles.
"Thank you, ma'am." I smile back, and watch the
boys come in. The boys sit down next to me, and kick their feet
up. I get up, and sit in the kitchen. I flip through a magazine
on the counter, it's a Home&Garden magazine. I sigh, and
look over to the guys. They're watching the football
recaps.
"Hun, wanna help me out real quick. I need some new flowers,
but I don't know which ones. Come here." She motions me
towards her. I look out the door, and see a path full of
different colored flowers.
"Woah," I'm shocked. "I've never seen
anything like this... I like the small
sunflowers."
"Alright, thanks. I like those too." She snips them.
"If you'd like, I can show you to your room." I
nod. After she puts the flowers in a vase, she takes me up the
grand staircase to my room. I see an open door, it's
Blake's room. Mine's right next to his. It's a light
pink color, something I'm not fond of. After she shows
me my room, she points out Chace's room, it's across from
mine. It's a dark natural green, he'll like it.
"These rooms are gorgeous," I look around. "Your
whole house...It belongs in a magazine."
"Thank you." She says. "You can call me, Miss
Ames, or Cheryl."
"Ames?" I say. "So, is that Blake's original
last name?"
"Yes..." She sits down at the kitchen table. I've
noticed that the boys have gone back outside.
"If you don't mind me asking, Miss Ames, why did you let
the boys go to the Lucas family?"
"Well," She takes off her reading glasses. "First,
I wasn't ready for Chace, and I figured he'd be brought
up just well on a ranch...But Blake, he just, I wanted him to be
with his brother, and their father wasn't very happy with me
having kids at the time."
"Was I a mistak then?" Blake says.
