" Hey , Myers . " Chase had his hands in his pockets and was leaning against the door frame .
" Hey , what are you doing here ? " She smiled and said , softly .
" I wanna talk to you . Just for a minute . "
" Alright . " She said , grabbing her oversized hoodie and pulling it over her head . She stepped outside and closed the door behind her .
They stood together in silence for a few moments . " Soo... " Beatrice said , looking around .
Suddenly , Chase wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her close . He kissed her .
Beatrice kissed back , but only for a moment . High school memories filled her head .
" Woah ! Um... Chase... " Beatrice pulled away . She took a few steps back .
" I-I'm sorry... " He sighed and looked down . He looked back up and stared into Beatrice's eyes .
He broke their eye contact .
Chase began to walk down the steps of the front porch .
Beatrice grabbed his hand , pulling him back . She pulled him into a hug . " It's okay . "
Beatrice felt a tear drop on her shoulder . Chase pulled away . " I guess I should get going . " He sighed .
Beatrice hesitated . " H-Hey , why don't you stay for a while ? " She smiled . Chase's face lit up . He nodded and followed her inside .
David and Scotty were standing a few feet away from the door with their arms crossed . " Chase . "
" Umm... Hey-- "
" Knock it off , guys . I invited him in and he's gonna have fun . With us . " Beatrice squinted at them , sending the message that he was definitely staying .
David scoffed . " Whatever . " He sat back down on the couch and continue to ice his forehead .
" Alright . " Scotty sighed and uncrossed his arms .
" Can he borrow a bathing suit ? "
Scotty nodded and started walking towards his room while Chase followed .
Beatrice walked over to David and sat down next to him . " What's wrong ? "
" Nothing . " He mumbled , not even looking at Beatrice . " David -- "
" Why is he here ? " He turned towards Beatrice .
" I don't know -- "
" Yeah , okay . " He sighed . Beatrice was getting angry . " I didn't invite him here . "
" Then who did ? "
" I just wanted to talk to Beatrice . If you want me to go i'll go . " Chase leaned against the wall .
" That would be nice . " David stood up and crossed her arms .
" I just have one question . " Chase started walking towards David . " What do you have against me ? "
David punched Chase and he fell to the ground .
" DAVID !! " Beatrice looked at him angrily . She tried to help Chase up .
" You hurt two people that I care about . Deeply . " He looked at Chase and then Beatrice .
David walked away .
" I think I should go . " Chase sighed . " Let me get you some ice first . "
Beatrice walked over to the kitchen and grabbed some more ice . She wrapped it in a cloth .
" Why do you keep kissing me ? " Beatrice tilted her head while icing his cheek .
" I've kissed you before this ? " He raised an eyebrow . " Well , you were drunk... but still . Why ? "
Chase took a deep breath .
" I... "
