All Chapters of Chasing The Moon: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Em A little while later they all sat around finishing up eating their pizza that had been delivered. They had decided to watch a movie and Mickey threatened them all until they agreed on a horror one. That girl loves her horror movies. Throughout this time Em kept stealing glances at Quinn, and most of those times he was already looking at her. Aspen and Mickey both kept gesturing throwing up and gagging when this happened. After a while everyone tired out. Asher had gone upstairs to sleep in his bed. While Sylvia and Mickey went to sleep in one of the bedrooms downstairs. Grey and Chase both fell asleep on the floor where they’d been laying while watching the movie, and Elias, Em, and Aspen were all spread out on the sectional. Quinn sat in the recliner next to them. She was about to fall asleep herself when Em heard Quinn clear his throat. She turned and looked at him as he motioned with his head toward the other vacant bedroom. Time to go talk. She nodded and quietly g

QuinnQuinn sucked in a quick breath. “Please. Let me save you.”She said. He heard her loud and clear but he couldn’t believe what she said. No one had ever said those words to him. What if …… what if he had said those words to his mom? Or what if his dad would of? What if he had said those words to Huxley? Would any of the bad things have happened? He found himself wishing he had been around when she went through so much.. he wished he could have saved her. Quinn knew her dad had died and from her admission that day outside, she had found him. But he didn’t know the details. He was getting a little overwhelmed with telling his whole story however. He had never had to do this before, anyone he’d cared to know about it, was already around when everything happened. He stared at her now, thinking how strong she was, being here for him after everything she had been through. Their stories, so intertwined, so alike, he knew that in some way he was meant to find her. “I felt lik

QuinnQuinn woke up early that morning. He stared over at Em. They’d talked for hours last night. When had he become this person that spent the night with a girl and didn’t even touch her. She was different though……special. But… he still wanted to touch her. Actually. Sleeping beside her and NOT touching her was a new kind of hell he didn’t particularly enjoy. He decided to get up and see if anyone else was awake when his phone rang. It was his dad. Staring at the name on the screen he hesitated. He hadn’t spoken to his dad in ages. He wondered if Hux was home. He knew the date of his release had come and gone but no way was he gonna be around to find out. The phone stopped ringing, then immediately started again. This time he picked up. “Dad?” “Hey son. I’m glad I got you. How’s it going are you okay?”Quinn was not in the mood for small talk with his dad. However, after sharing his story last night and talking with Em.. he was starting to think maybe he had been a litt

EmRiding a motorcycle was absolutely exhilarating. Em wondered if her mom had been watching out the window.. she hoped not. She didn’t think Carol Parker would be too happy about it. But she felt free. She totally understood what Quinn meant about riding. They’d left Aspens house and drove around the lake. It was beautiful. She had never been on this side of the lake before. The roads curved through the woods and up the side of the mountain. It was completely majestic. After they had been riding for a while they stopped at a little look out point, where you could look down over the town. The town looked so small from up here. But it was a beautiful sight to behold. Em’s legs felt like jelly from being on the back of the bike for so long. They went over and sat on a little bench to take a break for a bit. “So you went home this morning?” She asked him. “Yeah.. I started to wake you but I was coming right back.. but then my dad…”Quinn stopped for a moment…“My dad just l

EmShe had gone home to watch Sawyer after the motorcycle ride. Aspen was coming over a little later. She was replaying the whole day over and over in her head…. remembering how Quinn had grabbed her arms and held them. And what he had said about not rushing her, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want her. Em got goosebumps now thinking about it. She had gotten butterflies when he said it. She imagined what that would be like… him wanting her. Then she imagined what that would feel like… Quinn taking her. And she liked it. A lot. She quickly spared a look at her little brother as if he could tell what she was thinking. They had eaten tacos that night that her mom had left, then Em made popcorn for her and Sawyer to eat when Aspen came over. She was gonna hang out with them while Em’s mom was at work. They were looking for a movie they could all watch when her brother spoke up. “Sooooo Emerson. I noticed that I saw you on a motorcycle today.”Em choked on her popcorn. She look
