Felicia nodded and followed him up to his room and closed the door behind them. When he started opening up, she sat next to him, and wrapped an arm around him in comfort. In truth, Serena was better at this than she was, but she still tried. What Chase told her, though, caused her blood to boil. She clenched a fist and tried to hide it from him. "Um...I'd kick his ass for you, you know that, right?"
Licia looked at him and gave him a small smile. "Now how can I argue when you say something like that?" She looked at the floor a moment. "Why don't you stay with me? She placed a hand in his and gave it a light squeeze. "He can't touch you there."

Chase put an arm around her, laying his head on her shoulder. He closed his eyes, tears slowly rolling down his cheek. But, he felt his troubles lifting; she was helping a lot. "I wish it were that easy," he said. "But thanks."
He smiled back. "Why don't you stay with me?" He was speechless, but his hand gently accepted hers, squeezing back.. "He can't touch you there." He blinked. "You'd...you'd really do that...for me?" he asked. "I guess I could for a while," he said smiling. "Can you give me a few minutes to get my stuff together? Maybe I can slip out before he gets home."

Felicia smiled. "Of course I would...I...you're my friend. It's what friends do." She nodded at him when he said he needed a few minutes to grab his things. "Of course, of course. I'll be downstairs." She walked downstairs and stood near the kitchen, looking around the house.
Licia was proud of what she had offered, and knew that her brother wouldn't mind the extra company. Well, if he did, then she'd raise hell about it. And knowing him, he'd give in easily. She sighed and leaned against the wall, while she waited. She counted the minutes in her head. Everything would be fine.

Chase smiled at Licia, sort of watching her as she left. He looked away before she had the chance to look back. What am I doing? he thought, mentally slapping himself in the head. He got a bag of clothes packed, and got up to go meet Licia downstairs.
Meanwhile, the front door opened, and Bill staggered in, smelling strongly of alcohol. He looked at Licia. "Oh look..." he slurred. "Chasey's brought himself a little girl home...Ain't that sweet...." He chuckled, obviously very drunk. "So, he get ya pregnant yet, or what?"

Felicia turned towards the sound of the front door. Shit. She raised an eyebrow at what he said and then said, bluntly, "No. And I really don't appreciate that tone. You're drunk." She crossed her arms, not sure what to say. She figured staying silent might be better, but then she couldn't hold it back, even though she did promise Chase.
"You shouldn't keep doing this to your body. It's destroying you, and not only is it destroying you, but it's making you hurt your son. Now, I'm not sure if you realize that after your drunken spell, but I'm telling you now. Knock this fucking shit off." With that, she started to walk back upstairs.

Bill laughed. "How cute," he sneered. "A smart ass, just like her little boyfriend." He stepped forward enough to grab her by the shoulder and spin her around. "Not so fast. What? You think I'd let you get away with backtalking me like that then just walking away? That's the trouble with you kids. No respect...Maybe I should teach ya..." His eyes showed just the type of druken fury he was in. He didn't care about anything. Hell, he didn't even know what he was doing.
Chase was walking downstairs, his bookbag over one shoulder, and a duffel bag he'd packed slung over the other one. His jaw dropped when he saw his dad was home early, and more drunk than usual. Then, his face turned pale as the big man's hands reached out and grabbed Licia's throat. Quickly and unnoticed, he grabbed a heavy vase off of the end table and crept down the stairs. Bill had gone too far this time. Way too far...

Felicia felt herself being spun around. She stared into his eyes as he spoke and she didn't know what to say. Not that she could...she realized that as she felt his hands go around her throat. She felt herself lifted and she grabbed at his wrists, trying to get air. Tears escaped her eyes as she nailed his arms. Maybe this will change him....in the end, it'd be worth it....I just wish Chase and I could have our final goodbyes.
Licia didn't notice Chase sneaking up behind Bill. She was too focused on what was happening now. She waited for the darkness to consume her. She was waiting for the sleepy portion of death...if only it could come sooner, she could be Chase's Guardian Angel... Everywhere I'm looking now, I'm surrounded by your embrace. Baby, I can see your halo, you know you're my Saving Grace...

Chase felt his anger building when he saw Bill choking her like that. It just wasn't right. EVERY time Chase had something good in his life, Bill tried to take it away. And Chase wasn't about to let him to do it again. Especially since this involved taking a life. No chance in Hell....
With that, Chase slammed the vase into the back of Bill's head. Glass practically exploded, most of it not hitting anything. But Chase winced as some shards cut his face. Bill let go of Licia and dropped to the ground like a lead weight, bleeding, but nowhere near fatal.

Felicia at once felt Bill's hands let go of her and she fell. It seemed slow for her as she started gasping in air. She never had good lungs, and now was no different. She was on her hands and knees, hacking. What...happened?
Licia went to look up at Chase, but felt her eyes roll backwards. She was exhausted to the extreme. She closed her eyes and felt her body fall totally to the side. She had not been hit by the shards of flying glass, and the last thing she thought before she felt the darkness consume her--just when she didn't want it to, either--she thought, Chase, I love you....Thank God for you...

Chase saw her when she blacked out, and he walked over with his bags still on his shoulders and made it a point to step on his Dad on the way over. He bent down and picked Licia up, glad he was a little strong for his size. Then, he turned and started walking to her house.
When he got there, he lay her on the floor of her room at first. He pulled back the covers on her bed before picking her up and laying her down. Dropping his bags on the floor, he knelt down and pulled the covers over her, tucking her in. Then, he kissed her on the forehead gently. I love you...
Then, his energy drained, he collapsed on the floor next to the bed and fell asleep.

Felicia didn't feel anything that Chase did. So when she opened her eyes seven hours later, she looked around confused. "What the--Chase?!" Then she looked at the ground and relaxed. She wanted to get him into her bed, but considering the fact that she could potentially grab certain parts of his anatomy, she knew she had to get her brother. First though, she walked in the bathroom to see just how bad a state her neck was in. It sure had bruises. "Damn."
Licia grabbed a scarf and tossed it over her neck. "Hey, bro! I need your help." A few minutes later and Chase was sleeping in her bed. Her brother had r ushed out of the house, saying not to do anything rash. She climbed into bed beside Chase, and watched him sleep before falling asleep again herself.

Chase stirred a few hours later. His head hurt, and his face was stinging from the cuts, which he hadn't cleaned. He blinked, realizing he wasn't sleeping on the floor anymore. He at first thought it was just a dream, until he rolled over. He saw Licia lying next to him, bruises on her neck.
He wondered how he got on the bed in the first place, but thought there was something more important to take care of. Her health meant more to him than anything right now, especially since it was his Dad that did it. Gently, he reached out and ran his hand gently along her neck, avoiding the bruises. "Licia..." he whispered, "I'm so sorry..."

Felicia opened her eyes when she heard Chase apologize. "It's not your fault...It was mine...for saying something to him in the first pla--Are you okay?" She looked at his cuts with a worried expression on her face. She gently took his hand and said, "C'mon, let's get you cleaned up."
Standing up, Licia led him to her bathroom and got some washcloths. She turned on the water and let it soak before starting to wash his face off. "If anyone should apologize, it should be me. I was an idiot and I'm sorry. If I hadn't been, we would have been out of here sooner, and this would have never have happened..." She turned away as a tear escaped her eye.

"No," Chase argued, "it's not your fault. You don't know him when he's like that. He'd have snapped if you so much as batted an eyelash..." He looked her in the eye. "I'm fine. It's you I'm worried about." Then, he stood up and followed her into the bathroom and let her wash his face.
"Licia...it's not your fault. I told you, Da--Bill doesn't need a reason to snap when drunk. He's just full of all this intense rage when he drinks to much...It's my fault. I think he drinks because of me. Something I've done...or haven't done."

Felicia blinked at him when he kept insisting that it was his fault. "No. No it's not your fault. I keep telling you that and you don't believe me." When he said it yet again and blamed himself for his Dad going and getting drunk, she slapped him hard on the face. "That was not your fault, and damn it, you know it sounds ridiculous, even to you. What that asshole did was based off of his own actions, not yours. He has only himself to blame. Don't give him the satisfaction of hearing you say that, because it's a fucking lie."
Realizing what she'd done, Licia turned away. "Oh, God...I'm sorry....I'm so sorry..." She left the bathroom and sat at the edge of her bed, letting the tears fall from her face and she avoided Chase's gaze. He didn't deserve that slap. She closed her eyes and tightened her grip on the bed. She just willed herself to go away, feeling that he could be better off. It was a rough morning.
