said together.
"I know that you know why I can't, but why can't you?" He asked me.
"Chase." I said to him.
"What do you mean?" He asked looking upset again.
"My parents put me in an arranged marriage to Chase." I said to him.
"They what?!" Zleeps said getting mad.
"Yeah. But Chase actually loves me." I said looking at him. He looks at me hurt and upset.
"Chase? Playboy, breaks girls hearts, football playing, fake, Chase?" Zleeps said looking at me.
"Yes, Chase." I said looking down.
"I can't believe this." He said to me.
"You have a girlfriend who I don't like I might add." I said to him.
"We have really messed up this time haven't we?" Zleeps asked me.
"Yeah we have." I said looking at him. 

Zleeps was one person I would probably always go back to when things got rough and he would always come back to me. Right now though we are both just in different places. 

Chapter 9: Life Must Get Better

Zleeps didn't stay around very long after he found out about me being with Chase. He kind of just wished me the best. I knew after that conversation there was going to be nothing more between me and Zleeps. I knew this because Chase is one person in the whole world (besides King of course) Zleeps would never accept as my happy ending. Honestly, sometimes it's even hard for me to accept the fact I have been in love with Chase for so long. But then again you have to think about the history between the both of us. Our families have been friends for longer than me and Chase have been alive. Our parents were friends in middle school, like literally our family has some serious history. I spent every holiday with Chase and his family. We would have these giant get togethers at the company, I would always end up hanging out with Chase because we would be the only two kids there. 

It was Monday morning when I saw Zleeps again, we didn't speak to each other we just saw each other in first period. I didn't want to see Chase, I just wanted to get through the day without seeing him. I looked like a million dollars compared to what I did look like the night Chase and me had the fight. I ignored him in every class we had together. I hid during lunch, as soon as I was able to leave school I went straight to my car and went home. 

About a week of this went by, until finally Chase finally came over to my house and made me face the facts. 

"Ceecee, I love you. I didn't cheat on you that night. I danced with the girl because she kept begging me too. It was actually kind of sad. But I told her that the dance meant nothing and that nothing was ever going to happen between the two of us. The only reason that picture ended up online was because some idiot got one of those selfie sticks and wanted to try it out." Chase said all of this while standing at my door step basically begging for me to take him back or at least consider it. 

"I am not one with the whole give second chances so I really hope your not lying about this." I said finally after a very long time thinking about all my options. And by a long time it took about five minutes to go through all my options.

"I'm not lying to you about something as stupid as this." Chase said looking at me with those puppy dog eyes. He got closer to me and I stepped backwards. 

"That doesn't mean you can just come back to me." I said to him. It was the truth once you broke my trust it took time to earn it back.
