Who: Alyssa Kenworthy and Chase Young What: A confession. When: Wednesday evening Where: Baxter Building Warnings: Discussion of darker times.
Something had been bothering him since Christmas. Part of him had wanted to confess then, but it would have ruined the mood of the day. With Alyssa so determined that his Christmas be perfect, and what he had to say being...significantly less so, he kept his trap shut. But, he could not, in good conscience, keep it inside a whole lot longer.
The fact was, he liked Alyssa. Even though he really wasn't sure about her half the time (nor his reincarnate toward hers), she was a good friend. Part of him was worried about sharing a secret that only his sister knew--that he swore he wouldn't share--but he wanted to get that burden off his chest, at the same time. How could he move on if he kept it bottled inside?
Once he had changed into a shirt and jeans, he made his way up to Alyssa's apartment and knocked. "Hey," he called. "You in here?"
