Can’t Control Love
Chapter Ten/Chase’s POV:
Weeks had passed since my first Hollywood party. Two more of my singles were released and I became more and more famous. The money finally started to come in and my mother was overjoyed, we were going to sell our small house and move into a fancy apartment in downtown LA. I was always really busy with photo shoots and charity events and interviews. Even though Melody was bored of all of it she supported me throughout the whole thing and came to every single thing. I asked Amanda Bloomfield out on a date and we started to date, Trisha said it was great for my image and would be like free publicity. I liked Amanda, but something was telling me that she was just using me. There were only a few weeks before my first cd was set to hit stores, that’s when it would really start. The fame was finally sinking in, but I didn’t change who I was, I was still the same Chase and I wasn’t going to let fame ruin me.

“Luke, this is Amanda. Amanda, this is Luke.” I said, introducing them. Melody decided it would be good to go on a double date. Her definition of good was clearly different from mine. We all sat down at the table at the restaurant we were eating at. The only word to describe this whole thing was awkward. “Dude, when does your first cd come out?” Luke asked, trying to be nice. I knew he didn’t like me, he was jealous of me because I spent more time with Melody than he did. “Two weeks.” I told him while taking a sip of my drink. “Amanda, are you going to film any new movies?” Melody asked. She wasn’t too fond of Amanda, she told me that she thought Amanda was too full of herself for being such a minor star and was self-centered. But, I liked Amanda and it wasn’t just because she was hot… she was a good kisser too; kidding, she was just really fun to be around. “Actually, I’m taking a break but I think I’m going to audition again in the fall.” Amanda answered. Melody nodded. There was an awkward silence in the conversation when Luke grabbed Melody’s thigh; a rush of jealousy ran through my body. I had no idea why though, it was weird. I mean I wasn’t like in love with Melody or anything, right? Then he started to whisper into her ear and I honestly couldn’t take it anymore. I had no idea how to react. Amanda was just sitting there on her phone, tweeting her fans. I made sure Melody was looking before I put my arm around Amanda. I guess the way I reacted to jealousy was by trying to make the other person jealous. “So Luke, what are you doing with your summer?” I asked him, trying to break the silence. “Soccer and Lax camps.” he said acting like he was so cool. His hand was still on Melody’s thigh; I could tell she was uncomfortable. I nodded in approval. “How about you, Melody? What are you doing this summer?” Amanda asked bitterly. “Just following Chase around, I guess.” she said while staring deep into my eyes and breaking a smile. The rest of the dinner date went like that, to sum it all up it was awkward.
After dinner Amanda had to leave, so I walked to my car with Luke and Melody. We walked down past the ocean, where our restaurant was to get to our cars. “Bye Chase, see you later.” Melody said to me before she left with Luke. Luke didn’t really acknowledge me and I just silently followed them to my own car. “Mel, I was wondering if you wanted to go back to my place.” Luke said while grabbing her by her waist. She tried to get away but he was too strong, “No Luke, I don’t want too.” she asked as we continued to walk down by the beach to our cars. “Come on, my parents aren’t home, we’ll have the whole house to ourselves.” he said trying to persuade Melody into going home with him. I tried to stay out of their conversation since we had already said goodbye, but it was getting harder and harder not to say anything. I just kept feeling this rush of jealousy. I peered over to find a few college-aged kids taking pictures of me from afar, I was kind of used to it now. “Melody, come on, you’re no fun.” Luke said pulling her closer to him. “No, I don’t want to.” she told him sternly. “Come on, it’ll be fine. Let’s go to the car.” he said starting to walk towards his car. “No, Luke!” Melody kept trying to tell him. I couldn’t stay silent anymore, I had to say something, I couldn’t just sit there. “Dude, she doesn’t want to go with you.” I told him. His eyes widened and he peered over at me, shocked that I was still behind them. “Chase, this is none of your business.” he said in an angry tone. “Yeah, it kind of is.” I said back to him. He just rolled his eyes, “She’s my girlfriend, let me worry about it.” he said while unlocking his car, “Get in the car, Melody.” he demanded. She got in without a word, like she was scared or something. “She’s my best friend and she doesn’t want to go, so let her go.” I demanded, I was getting really angry now. “No.” he said effortlessly. I couldn’t take it anymore, I was so angry and jealous. He couldn’t do that to Melody and get away with it. Without thinking it over I swung my fist at him and punched him right in the jaw. I turned around when I saw a bright flash out of the corner of my eye to find paparazzi taking a ton of pictures of the whole thing. Melody was standing outside of the car with her mouth wide open. Then I peered over at Luke with his hand clenched on his jaw. “Chase, would you answer a few questions for us?” a lady asked taking out a notepad. “Chase, who is he and why did you punch him?” another reporter asked. I just stood there motionless trying to have everything that had just happened sink in.
