Rescue Me

Chapter 40
Julia's POV

"We were bored!" Noelle exclaimed and started laughing.  Her talking with Zayn made me realize that I hadn't talked to Chase in a while.  I walked out of the TV room and dialed his number as I rolled onto Noelle's bed.  It rang a couple of times and then it went to voicemail, so I called again and he picked up on the second ring.  "Hello?" he answered.  "Hey stranger, long time no talk." I smiled.  "Yeah." he said dully and my smile was removed, quickly.  "What's your issue?" I asked sadly.  "Oh maybe just the fact that I haven't seen, talked, or even texted my own girlfriend in almost a week." he responded, in a really rude tone might I add.  "You could've called me, you could've made plans, you could've done something why do I have to?  Seriously you can't put all of this on me, yeah, I could've done something, but you could've too." I shot back.  "Okay, whatever.  And my mom said she saw you on the news or something, I don't like you hanging out with them." I rolled my eyes.  "You don't want me hanging out with Noelle?"    "No, Noelle is fine, but the other two aren't." he answered.  "Why not, they're my friends, you barely even know them."    "But I know that you've changed ever since you've been talking to them." he stated and I was shocked.  "Changed?  No, not really.  In fact I've never felt more like myself."   "Really?  Around me even?" he said sarcastically.  "Yes, I have to be little Mrs Perfect for you sometimes and I'm tired of it."    "Really, well then can we try and work this out?  Maybe if you stopped hanging with the boys we could talk more." he said and I finally understood what was wrong, "And I see the picture of you and the other girl, since when do you own sweatpants?" yep, I definitely know what's wrong.  "One, her name is Danielle.  Two, Liam, Louis and Zayn left things for their girlfriends, he left sweatpants and the note attachted to it said 'So you don't feel left out' on it.  Three, you don't want to work anything out, you're jealous of the boys, that or you're afraid I'll cheat on you." he was silent, "Oh... my... God, you're afraid I'll cheat." I said in shock.  "I never said that." he quickly replied.  "You didn't have to, and you know what, I would love to work this out, so text me if you want to also, but if you don't do it by this week you won't get too cause I'm leaving to go on tour with Danielle, Eleanor, Noelle and the boys.  Bye!" I hung up before he could say anything else.  I dragged my hands through my thick blonde hair and looked at the wall next to me, waiting for him to call me or text me or... something.  He didn't.  Noelle slowly opened the door the and looked at me for a minute.  She took a deep breath and walked through the door, standing at the edge of the bed.  I smiled at her, trying to say 'I'm okay' without talking, cause if I did, I would cry.  She looked at me though, crawled onto the bed and gave me a hug.  We stayed like that for a few minutes, and El and Dani walked in too, joining the hug.

One Week Later

I stood there with Eleanor, Noelle and Danielle as we waited for our private plane.  I looked at my phone, hoping he would text me before I left, but I know he isn't going to.  "Sweetheart," Ms. Collins called me and I looked up, "can I talk to you for a quick second?" I nodded and walked over.  "Now, I know the whole Chase thing is bothering you.  But you can't dwell on it, leave it alone.  You might look up and realize he never meant that much, or he does and you'll either break up or make up.  Either way, whatever happens is for the best.  He might be sitting there next week thinking 'I miss her' and he'll text you."      "But we didn't break up." I interruped her.  "But he can still miss you." she smiled and I understood.  "Or, he might burst through the airport doors and stop you." she said, and I could tell she wasn't looking at me.  I quickly turned around, he was walking through the doors, so I left her side and walked up to him.  "I'm sorry, I'm an idiot, I justs don't want to lose you.  Please forgive me." I laughed, giving him a quick peck.  "I forgive you." I stated simply and he smiled and started to walk the other way, "What are you doing?" I asked as he tried to pull me with him.  "You forgave me, so lets head back so we can talk." he shook his head like the answer was obvious.  "I'm still going." I said as I pulled my hand away from him.  "Why?" he asked.  "Chase, I gave you a whole week to come and talk to me, and either way I would still be going."    "Wow." he muttered.  "There's nothing 'Wow' about this situation Chase." I said, getting angrier and angrier.  "Forget it babe, I love you and I'm not leaving you like this, so I'll call you sometime soon." he kissed my cheek and then pecked my lips and walked away.  I stood there, shocked, angry, mad, sad, hurt, and thought.  "Babe, you coming?" Noelle tugged at my hand.  "Yeah." I started crying angry tears, "Lets go." I said quietly and walked back.  I gave Cassidy and Aubrey hugs and kissed there heads, then I walked up to Ms. Collins and gave her a hug.  "Thanks for treating me like a daughter." I teared up now... again.  "No thank needed." she whispered back.  I left and stood there, waiting as Noelle mimicked my actions, but took a little longer, talking to her sisters and to her mom.  Then we locked our arms and walked onto the private plane.
