Chase looked at Angus, and smiled slightly, nodding to him. "Thank you Angus.. so much." She said keeping herself in Calvin's arms, afraid to let him go. When Calvin asked if she wanted to stay though, she shook her head. "Take me with you okay? I don't want to lose you again." She said, remembering the terrifying experience in her room after she had awoken from her stupor. "We'll get some food... and see Reid and Katie.. and... and... be a family again.." She said softly, and then looked at Angus. "I promise Angus.. I'm sorry.. again, for what happened.. I kinda lost it, and I regret it now." She said smiling at him. Somewhere in the back of her mind though, she knew that she was lying, it wasn't a foremost thing though, and she truly believed that she could trust him now, and she did regret her actions.. but somewhere, she was harboring bad thoughts, not that they were visible.
Chase smiled at Angus and knew he was feeling uncomfortable, but she couldn't let go of Calvin, she just couldn't do it. No matter how much she tried to force herself to stand upright, just hold his hand, whatever, she couldn't force her arms from around him, somewhere in her mind she was afraid that if she let him go, he would disappear forever, and she'd be all alone, alone with her thoughts, alone with her mind, when Calvin was around, she felt comfortable, and once she was truly better, once she was smiling, and had her weight back, and was in her own mind, then they would be happy again. Forever.
