Chase thought he was going to be able to handle his emotions but many things from his own childhood had come up.  Chase curled close to Kieara holding her close to him because he was about to tell her something he never told anyone before.  In fact until this situation with her father he had blocked out everything with his father.  He hated the man and that was why he never had anything to do with him.<br/><br/>"I am sorry, I am usually much stronger than this.  You bring out feelings in me I have not felt in a long time."  Chase sighed and then kissed her head once again.<br/><br/>"My father never touched me, but emotional damage can be just as bad.  He never loved me because I never wanted to do what he wanted me too.  I wanted to follow my mothers dreams.  He beat her once in awhile because he looked at it as if she took me away from him."  Chase could not believe that he actually opened up and told her this.
