Chapter 2: Awkward Situations

Chase's POV:

"I...I kissed Bree." My knees began to lock when I practically told Adam I had a crush on Bree. I started falling without control to the ground, my eyes closing at the pressure going on throughout my head.

"Whoa Buddy you need to sit down." Adam grabbed both my arms, and dragged me to Leo's mission specialist office chair. He plopped me down into the chair making it spin a little. Adam grabbed ahold of it and spun me towards him, as I sat useless in complete shock. I took in a nervous breath as he began to talk again.

"So let me get this straight..." I stared off in the distance with a million things running through my head.

"Bree was asleep, and she was calling your name in her sleep..." I nodded in agreement, as he continued.

"Then you just got this wild hair and decided that it would be fun to smooch our sister." I sat unmoving wondering if he was done "recapping" I knew that he saw everything, and heard everything I did. He was never a heavy sleeper. All he wanted was the opportunity to defend his sister, and chastise me for once.

"Dude do you know how wrong that is?!" He glared at me like I was some sick pervert who rapes their sisters, but that wasn't it. I would never do that to Bree. I defended myself at the moment.

"It's not like that Adam!" He was fuming with anger. I was afraid he was going to glitch out. I was afraid that I was going to glitch right now.

"Oh really? Then what is "it" like?" He crossed his arms still in his seat. I paused for a while when he said this. Did I really have a crush on my sister? No.

"I'm...I'm in love with her. I'm in love with Bree. I'm in love with the way she laughs, I'm in love with the way she smiles, I'm in love with the way she gets angry when I annoy her, I'm in love with the way she gets nervous I'm-" I paused when all I heard was complete silence from Adam. He was staring at the floor dazed, and confused. I got up from my chair, and stood over him.

"Did that answer your question?" I retorted back still angry that he'd think that I'd be that much of a jerk to her. He nodded slowly looked up at me, and nodded. Losing all anger he once held inside him. He got up from where he was sitting. We were now face to face.

"I can't believe your in love with Bree!" he squealed excitedly as he hugged me, lifting me in the air. He dropped me, and I fell to the floor. Even though it did hurt all I could think of was:

"You're okay with this?" He nodded and helped me up. Even I wasn't ok with this. I knew what I was feeling was wrong. I've fallen for Bree without sight of where to land.

"I know that it's yucky that you both are related, but I can see it in your eyes. You truly love her, and not in the sibling type of way." He put his hand on my shoulder and exchanged his usual goofy exterior, for a more resolute one.

"There's only one thing that I have questions about when it comes to you two being together." he paused staring at me for dramatic effect it felt like he was going to stay like that forever. I broke the silence. This is why I never tell him important things.

"Adam what is it?" he snapped out of whatever daze he was in, and looked at me with a goofy smile again.

"Oh right I was telling you-"

"Adam!"

"Does Bree know that you kissed her?" I paused for a second. It seemed like she did, because she was acting suspicious when she woke up, but I swore she was still asleep when I did kiss her.

"I'm not sure. I mean she could, but I don't think she does. I'm hoping she doesn't know." Adam nodded understanding what I've been going through for over a year now. This is why sometimes on rare occasions I told Adam things I was going through. He could feel the same with you. He could be sympathetic instead of being the usual goofy meat head. He opened his mouth again ready to ask more questions.

"Actually there is one more thing I need to ask about..."

"And what would that be?" He looked around the lab, making sure no one was around to hear us. I looked around too. If anyone heard this conversation we would both be dead, or sent into a mental institution.

"Do you think that Bree loves you back?" He asked hopefully, as he waited for my response. I got caught in a web of my own thoughts again. What if she did? What would we do? I mean it's not like we could do anything about it. If we got caught the shunning, and pure hate would never end. But at least we would be together. Except what if she didn't love me? Our lives will never be the same.

"I... I've never thought of it in her shoes. I don't know-" We were interrupted when my bionic hearing picked up the sound of the elevator coming down. That reminded me. Where was Bree?

"Adam go to your capsule now!" I said in a panic running to the lights, and then to my capsule. At first Adam just looked at me confused of what was going on, but soon surrendered to the mind of a genius, and played along. The elevator came to a halt as it reached the lab, we both closed our eyes acting like nothing has happened in the past hour. Once it opened I heard sprinting, but it wasn't Bree.

"Chase! Adam! Wake up!" It was Leo. We both practically fell out of our capsules, and met him halfway.

"Shhh! Leo be quiet! your going to wake up the whole house!" Adam and I laughed at him trying to keep thing light and normal. But from the look on Leo's face we both knew it was something serious. Something happened, and I think I know what that "something" is.

"Guys! Bree's gone!" Leo shouted as he grabbed both of our shoulders, and shook them. I took a quick glance over to Adam. We both knew why Bree ran away. She ran away because of me.

Bree's POV:

I ran and I kept running. Even though I knew that I'd have to go back there, and face Chase. But maybe I could run away. Maybe I wouldn't have to face my problems at all. I could just leave here, and won't have to look back. I could go back home, and pick up everything I can. Then leave, for Chase. I need to protect the Davenport family, protect him. I stopped dead in my tracks turning toward what wouldn't be home anymore, and ran there for the last time. I went upstairs quickly, I was worrying more about getting out than being quiet and making a slow escape. I yanked a suitcase out of the sewing room closet, and began to shove my clothes in it. I zipped it as fast as I could, and went down the stairs to the lab to grab some money out of Davenport's desk. I could hear Adam talking to Chase. I could only hear bits of what he was saying.

"...Bree loves you?" Oh no they were definitely on to me. I have to leave now. I used a bobby pin to open the drawer and grab a thousand dollars. Trust me Davenport wouldn't miss it he's a billionaire. I did this all in a matter of seconds, and was about to leave. I opened the door, and took a breath knowing that I would never be here ever again. I would never see Chase again. I could hear breathing behind me.

"Bree?" I turned around to see Leo standing behind me with a glass of water in his hand. He set it down, and came towards me. I stood still thinking that maybe he would think he was just seeing things, even though he knew I was here, and he was there.

"Bree what do you think you're doing? Where are you going? Why are you going?" I shook my head at him taking a step back.

"I have to get out of here." I said collecting my things.

"I'm not going to ask again. Why are you leaving?" I sighed at him. I couldn't tell him. He wouldn't understand. No one understands.

"Let's just say it's complicated."

"Bree, you're probably overreacting. Now come inside, and forget about this. It's almost daylight." I looked out the door as he said this. The sun was about to come up. I had to leave right now. I walked up to him dropping my stuff by my sides.

"Leo, I'm sorry. But I have to go. Now." I grabbed him, and pulled him into my arms. I'm going to really miss him.

"Bree you don't have to go. You can work out whatever you need to. Here." I was on the verge of tears. I couldn't leave like this.

"Leo. I really am sorry. I'll never forget you." I kissed his forehead, and hugged him one more time. My face was wet with tears when I pulled away. I grabbed my stuff, and ran out the front door. For good.
