Announcement Downfall | 4-12-17 | Alex & Chase
What was suppose to be a grand day turned into everything on Alex. The whole family hyped on excitement and fake smiles. Chase could sense the amount of fake people around him, even before the event started. Before anything started. His brothers were no help what so ever. This was Alex’s big day of taking over the company and also Chase committing himself to a company he preferred never to be a part of. But because it was Alex, because he loved and found himself closer to Alex than anyone else, Chase was going to help and be there for him. He wasn’t about to back down on his brother and watch him drown with sharks waiting for him to fail.
Those sharks being their parents, and Collins. Whatever they wanted, Chase could see in their eyes. But he wasn’t about to confront them during this big night. This was about Alex and he was going to be there for him. Even if the suit he had on wasn’t what he wanted to wear. The designer was going to have a mouth full about this later but for now. Chase watched and cheered for his brother. Happy and watching carefully. Alex had his ups and downs and Chase has witnessed some of those downs before. He kept his eyes on the other Matthews. But to turn around for a matter of two minutes due to his parents chatting him up to someone else, Chase had lost that focus.
Only to hear a crash, glass shattering and soon seeing Alex run off. Excusing himself he went to check and call on Alex. Soon hearing his father call on his name. Turning back he could see the disappointment, the look of righteousness on his face and that disgusted Chase. Shoving his way past and ignoring his father at this point, Chase’s only goal was to check on Alex. Soon following him back to his place after calling for a cab.
When he made it to Alex’s place, Chase quickly found the spare key and unlocked the door. “Alex! What the hell was that? Are you okay?” Was Chase’s main concern. He didn’t care for the guests or the party that came after the announcement. This was his brother and screw his family for not being like Chase to check on Alex either. @alex-matthews
