To love is nothing .
To be loved is something.
But to love and be loved, that is everything.

ALLY POV:
We had just arrived at school and the bell for photography literally went once we got there. Talk about timing.
We instantly headed to photography, assignment in hand.
I hadn't had time to talk to Chase yet about everything that has happened between us, and to be honest I was a little scared.
When we talk about it does that mean it's over?
We sit down on our normal seats just as Jakob walks in.
Once he sees us he instantly brightens.
"Sis!! You're here!!" He yells hugging me, I hug him back laughing.
"Were you also there last night?" I question awkwardly.
Chase smirks and so does Jake.
I guess that means he was.
"Dude you were OBSESSED with Chase's arms" Jake says laughing so hard he almost falls off his chair.
I feel my self blush bright red.
I should have been called ruby or something I swear.
Before I can say anything miss Daisy walks in.
"Hello students, who wants to go first for the assignment?" She says getting straight to the point.
No one volunteers. Seriously does anyone go to a school where everyone actually takes part in class discussions or ask to go first when presenting something because I sure don't!!!
"Fate shall decide then my butterflies" Daisy says before picking up the same container she did when choosing our partners.
Oh no that container hates me.
Well I mean it did partner me up with Chase so maybe it doesn't hate me THAT much.
She picks out a name and then her eyes scan the classroom stopping at me.
Oh no.
"Allison, you and your partner are up my flower" she smiles.
I told you that container hated me!! It probably has a mind like the sorting hat in Harry Potter.
Chase and I both stand up, he waits for me to start walking down to the front and then follows straight away.
Once we get to the front miss Daisy says something about me presenting first because it was my name that was pulled out and then goes and sits at her desk.
I look at the class and they're all looking at me waiting for me to begin.
I put the picture up on the board and then get out my speech.
My picture was of Chase when he and I were at the beach that time, he was just walking back towards me after surfing, surf board in hand. I could hear the girls in the room whisper to their friends about his body but I ignored it. He looked so happy and so carefree, he was looking towards me and the emotion was clear in his eyes. He was content in every way. It's not an emotion that we see form Chase very often, only when he was with Ava or his mom really.
I read out to my class my speech, it practically said that in his eyes, you could see the happiness and the feeling of being content, and with Chase, it was rare for him to show emotion.
Chase was next. While he had seen my part of the project, he hadn't allowed me to see his so I was now very intrigued on what Chase would bring.
I took my picture down and handed it along with my speech to Daisy and it was now Chase's turn.
He took a deep breathe that only I could hear making me extremely curious and then put the picture up on the screen.
It was a picture of me signing, singing the song I wrote for him as well. You could see my vulnerability through every feature on face.
I had admit, it was a really good picture.
My eyes were closed and I wondered how he even managed to get the picture.
My eyes showed nothing but truth and honesty and even looking at it gave me chills.
It feels like so long ago when in reality it was a couple of days ago.
My life has changed so much in those couple of days.
I was too busy staring at the truth behind the photo to bother listening to what he was saying and all to soon his speech was over.
The only reason I realised that is because Chase nudged me bringing me back into reality.
"Well done my butterflies, our first project done and what amazing work too, you may go back to your seats" Daisy commented.
I began heading back to my seat when Chase grabbed my wrist and said something to Daisy.
"Ah fuck, sorry daisy but I just remembered Allison here forced me to throw out some perfectly good bread, seeing you has made me realise how bad she was by demanding I waste perfectly good food, I think she and I need to go back home and fix our mistake" Chase sighs obviously being very sarcastic. Daisy obviously didn't hear the sarcasm.
I rolled my eyes at his blame on me chuckling a little.
"Oh dear my butterfly, you better both go right now!!! I'll cover for you as long as you promise that you will fix your mistake and never do it again" Daisy replies sincerely.
I kinda feel bad for the women if I'm being honest, I mean she's a little odd.
"Of course" Chase replies nodding then grabs my arm again and begins to walk outside of the classroom.
"Where are we actually going!?" I ask walking beside him fully knowing that no matter where he plans on going I will follow helplessly like the pathetic little girl I am.
I'm just another girl who fell for Chase Ryder.
"We need to talk princess" Chase says sincerely looking at me, the emotion is clear in his eyes but I don't look at it long enough to detect all of them fearing that if I do I'll either melt on the spot or get my heart broken.
"Yeah I guess so" I reply nodding, "I do lo-" I get cut off my Chase.
"Not here, just deal with the sexual tension a little longer" Chase smirks causing me to roll my eyes and smile but not in agreement.
