Before he knew Chase had drifted off to sleep.  This had been the most perfect feeling he had ever felt having Kieara in his arms and he knew he wanted her there every night and he wondered if she would like that.<br/><br/>Chase did not usually dream but today he found himself in the weirdest dream a person could imagine.  He found himself wandering through a hall covered in mirrors, next thing he knew he saw a beautiful young looking ballerina dancing.<br/><br/>As he got closer he came to realize it was a younger version of his mother and could not help but smile, god he missed her.<br/><br/>"Chase my Darling boy what are you doing?". His mother asked. "It is not fair to play with that pretty balleria's emotions."<br/><br/>Chase really didn't understand what she was getting at, she asked for his feelings and he told her.  "I told her I had feeling I just don't know about loving her right now.  I was honest to her."<br/><br/>Chase's mother just shook her head at her son, why could he not see what was in front of him.  "You broke that young woman's heart you know, I can feel the sadness just pouring off of her."<br/><br/>Chase looked at his mother then realized they were back in his room watching himself and her sleep.  They looked perfect together he thought.  Why did he break her heart, he still cared for her, he just didn't love her.<br/><br/>"Chase, I can tell that you have fallen in love with her, just look at the way you defended her to her father, you would not have just done that for anyone."  His mother sighed at him.<br/><br/>"Mother, I am afraid to love her.  What if she goes away and I will be alone again."  Chase said as he sat down on the floor with his head in his hands.<br/><br/>His mother sat down next to him on the floor and placed her arms around him, "My darling son, you must stop worrying about the unknown.  Did you ever think she might be just as afraid as you are of love but she put herself out there for you."<br/><br/>In the next moment his mother faded away and he tried to stop her, but he knew that he couldn't.  In the next breathe Chase awoke and looked down at Kieara and kissed her head and moved himself out of her grasp and went to the bathroom.<br/><br/>After he got done with the bathroom he stood in the doorway and just watched her for awhile.  His mother was right, he did love her and he just could not say it outloud.  How could he not love her, she was talented, bright, beautiful she was just as lost as he was.  He was able to have a outlet for his angry by yelling at his students, but what did she have.<br/><br/>Chase moved his way back over to the bed and crawled over to her and pulled her tight to him and whispered into her ear.  He was not sure if she was awake or not but he would tell her.<br/><br/>"I am sorry I didn't tell you before, I do love you but I was afraid to say it out loud."  Chase said then leaned down to kiss her on the lips.
