Chase Matthews War Story by Mrundertaker025


The prom from a ex girlfriends eyes

1I was sat at a table just off the dance floor watching everyone dancing... well not everyone I was watching a certain couple. Chase and Zoey. They'd finally gotten together yeah I knew they would but it didn't take away the pain of watching the boy you love dancing with someone else. Why did I have to be such a jerk about it I could have let him hang out with Zoey he was to nice to make a move on her while we were dating and to shy when we weren't I let the tears fall slowly down my cheeks as a slow song started to play and Chase wound his arms around her waist. If I hadn't been so jealous I could have been there with him holding _me_ close.

"Rebecca is it?" Someone said behind me making me jump.

"Um y-yes I said trying not to show that I was crying.

"Room for one more at the heart break table?" He asked.

I turned around there was a blond boy standing there wearing a suit but looking just as hurt as I felt.

"Yeah. But why are you heart broken?" I asked as he sank into the chair next to me.

"The same reason you are. The person I love is in love with someone else."

"Really who?" I asked cheering up slightly as he smiled at me he had a nice smile.

"Zoey." He said simply.

"So you're the James I heard Lola and Quinn talking about? So this is basically the ex's of Zoey and Chase table?" I asked feeling sorry for him his smile had faded and hurt had spread across his face again.

"Yeah. Guess it is."

We relapsed into silence again our gazes sweeping the dance floor. I saw Quinn and Logan dancing together looking as though they'd never been happier.

"Never thought they'd get together." James said

"Me neither. But I guess everyone get's their happy ending."

"Except us."

"Yeah I know doesn't seem fair does it? Every one else get to have fun at their prom dancing with the people they love and we stay on the sidelines."

"Well we could go enjoy the rest of the prom together just so we can have some fun?" James asked.

"Yeah okay." I said standing up and taking his arm.

We walked to the middle of the floor and began to dance, and I felt better than I'd felt all day and James's smile had returned and we were twirling around the dance floor until the end of the dance.

"Thanks for that James. You know for cheering me up."

"It's okay thanks for cheering me up. And helping me get over Zoey."

I knew I was over Chase the second James and I had reached the dance floor. It had felt like a giant weight had been lifted from my shoulders. And now I knew James was over Zoey I felt even better.

"Thanks for helping me get over Chase." I smiled at him before kissing him quickly on the cheek and running back to my dorm letting every bad thought I'd ever had about Chase and Zoey get blown away in the wind blowing in my face. Well how could I stay angry at them? They'd helped me find my Prince Charming.

***********

Well that was my first attempt at a James/Rebecca fic. I think I did okay. Well this story goes out to SupremeSoncream who asked for a James/Rebecca fic.

Disclaimer: Yeah in between writing the fifth chapter of my other story samderella and writing this story I magically obtained the rights to Zoey 101. Oh wait I didn't? Okay then everything related to Zoey 101 is Dan's not mine ;-) Well I hoped you enjoyed it :-)

Guess Who Saw The Queen

_**Guess Who Saw the Queen**_

Mr. Forbes the 8th grade history teacher at PCA stood at the head of the class with his hands raised.

"Alright class, he said, "settle down, settle down, I have an announcement to make." He paused and waited for the class to quiet down.

"First, he said, "a reminder that your group projects are due the day after tomorrow." Immediately there was a collective groan that filled the classroom.

"Second," Continued Forbes, "I would suggest that you finish them as soon as possible because tomorrow Queen Lara of Chockovia will be arriving in town and the dean will be taking a group of students down to the Hotel Royale for the arrival!"

Excited whispering rippled through the classroom and immediately turned into full blow excited talking as the students flooded out into the hallway

"Just think," Zoey whispered to Chase a Queen that is no older than I am, "what a responsibility."

"Yeah," said Logan polishing his fingernails, "I guess I'd better get used to living in the lap of luxury and being called your highness."

"Humph," said Chase, "and just how-Pray tell- do you figure that."

"Let's face it," said Logan, running his fingers through his hair, "after she meets me who else could she possibly want to marry." Chase rolled his eyes and leaned over to Zoey,

"Just once I'd like to take him down a peg or two," he whispered

Zoey rolled her eyes nodded in agreement.

"I don't believe this," said Chase burying his face in his hands as his friends stood in front of him looking rather sheepish, "Zoey, Nicole, and Lola didn't get there part of the project done because Zoey was up half the night practicing greeting a queen that probably won't even look at her, Nicole and Lola were too busy trying to find the right dress to wear and when they were done with that, they had to go have their hair-styled, and speaking of hair Logan never picked up that model battleships for our display because he was up until midnight primping, there again probably for a queen who probably won't even look at him!"

"How, I ask you," said Logan, "Could she not look at m." as sharp look from Chase warned him not to continue.

"Guys," said Chase with a note of desperation in his voice, "Do I have to remind you that this project is worth a fourth of our final grade!"

"Chase," said Zoey, "We're sorry we just got distract I mean seeing and possibly meeting a real life queen is a once in a lifetime thing."

"I know," said Chase calming down, "Look," he said, "I'll stay here and finish the project myself, you all go on and see the queen."

Chase was greeted with a Barrage of hugs from the girls while the guys likened him to a saint. Then they were gone.

Chase stood and watched them as they headed for the shuttle.

"Chase," he muttered to himself, "You're not a saint. You're a sucker!"

A couple hours later Chase stood back to admire his work the day had been so nice that Chase had decided to work outside. The display was finished an ocean with an entire fleet of World War II era battleship models and a page of text about the history of the of the United States navy. And the background was a collage of images from the history of the navy going all the way back to the first would be submarines in the 18th century.

"There," he said, "that ought to at least salvage our collective grade if nothing else."

"I would give it an A," said a softly accented feminine voice behind him. Chase whirled around and found himself face to face with a girl that was about his own age. She was wearing a simple but elegant white blouse and a white lacy skirt she had sapphire blue eyes and blonde hair that she wore in a long braid that reached down just passed the center of her back it seemed she was more beautiful than any girl should have a right to be.

"Um hi," said Chase. He immediately kicked himself, "real smooth, Matthews," he muttered. The girl just smiled.

"This is a large project for one person, yes?" she said, "are all projects at this school as big as this one?"

"No," said Chase, "in fact this project was supposed to be a group effort but my group left me to go and see Queen Lara that who arriving in town tonight. By the way my name is Chase."

"And you did not go?" asked the girl who was visibly surprised

"Well," said Chase, "if I hadn't stayed here and finished this project it would've been our final grade down the drain. Besides they'll tell me all about it when they get back."

"I'm afraid your friends won't have much to tell," Said the girl who was beginning to giggle.

"What do you mean by that," asked Chase with a puzzled look on his face.

"The Queen is not at the Royale," replied the girl

"What do you mean," Said Chase, "if she's not there where is she?" suddenly before the girl could answer her stomach let out a loud growl. She looked at Chase sheepishly.

"She's standing right here hoping the cute guy that she just met will take her to dinner."

Chase's eyes widened and ice filled his lungs. It was at this point that he finally noticed the signet ring that she was wearing on a silver chain around her neck.

"Your Majesty it would be an honor too," Lara clamped a hand over Chase's mouth before he could continue,

"Don't call me that here." She whispered, "I don't want people to realize who I am." She quickly stuck the signet back under her shirt, "Call me Lara."

Lara sat at the table on the patio out side the cafeteria and waited for Chase to return with their food. At last he returned carrying two plates.

"Well," he said placing one of the plates in front of her, "this is what they were serving tonight I hope it's alright." On the plate were two large slices of pizza. Lara's eyes lit up.

"Pizza," she exclaimed, "Oh Chase I could kiss you!"

"In fact," she added jumping up and throwing her arms around him, "I think I will." She leaned up and gave in gentle kiss on the cheek. Chase was stunned.

"You mean, you do like pizza!" asked Chase

"Oh yes," said Lara, "I can only take so much tea and cake.

Lara sat down and picking up one of the Pizza Slices and began to devour it greedily while she at she explained that she had arrived in town early but was to tired to fool with a grand entrance at the hotel so she and her driver had slipped away from the press and had gone for a drive in the countryside. And that after he stopped to let her stretch her legs she had slipped away from her driver after he had accidentally taken a sleeping pill instead of an Aspirin. She had taken a walk and had seen Chase working on his project. After they had finished eating Chase walked her down the hill to the limo. Chase couldn't believe that he was walking with a real life queen. The thought made him a little nervous, but he became a lot nervous when she slipped her hand into his. When they finally reached the limo Chase's legs felt like Jell-o and he prayed that she wouldn't notice that his hand was beginning to sweat. Before he could say goodbye she leaned up and brushed her lips across his. As she did that she pressed something into his hand.

"Thanks for a lovely afternoon." She whispered, "I'll never forget it or you, Chase." And with that she was gone. As the limo pulled away Chase looked down at his hand and was surprised to find the royal signet ring and a hastily scribbled note on a napkin that said simply.

_Here is something to remember me by._

_Love, _

_Lara_

It was about ten o'clock when Zoey Nicole Lola Logan and the rest of the group came dragging in with faces longer than the last day of school.

"How did it go guys?" asked Chase deadpanning

"Terrible," said Logan, "waited until almost 9 o'clock before some one came and told us that the Queen had arrived early and had canceled her grand entrance and press conference. How could she pass up a chance to meet me?"

Zoey rolled her eyes,

"Except for a few obvious things what Logan told you is pretty much the way that it happened." She said

"What's that," asked Quinn pointing to the object that Chase was turning over and over in his hand.

"What's the matter?" said Chase holding up the object, "haven't you ever seen a royal signet ring before?" Quinn grabbed the ring and examined with a one of her strange looking gizmos.

"This is the official signet ring of the Royalty of Chockovia," Quinn announced, "and the only way chase could have gotten it is if Queen Lara herself was here with him and gave it to him while we were sitting on a street corner downtown!"

Chase smiled as six Jaws simultaneously cracked the floor, then he proceeded the spill the beans, when he had finished Logan looked like a man who had just swallow two crows, three humble pies and a whole school of goldfish. In other worlds he could have been the poster boy for seasickness. He ran off to find the nearest toilet sickened at the thought that at girl could chose Chase over him. Then every body began to talk at once, loudly complaining that it wasn't fair that chase got to meet her and they didn't.

"HOLD IT!" thundered Zoey, getting everybody's attention

" I think it was perfectly fair," she said she turned to Chase, "Chase if anyone of us deserved to meet the queen you did. It serves us right for forgetting our responsibility to the group project and then running off and leaving you with all the work to do."

One by one they all admitted that Zoey was right.

"Chase," said Nicole, "to make up for all this we promise that the next time we have a group project you won't have to lift a finger."

"Right," said Zoey, "We'll do all the work." With that verbal agreement the girls began to file out of the room. Suddenly Zoey stopped and walked back to Chase.

"Chase," she asked, "Did Queen Lara really kiss you?"

-The End-

**Disclaimer: I do not own Zoey 101.**

**AN: Okay, this is the next story you guys wanted to see. I hope it's what you expected.**

**--**

Zoey Brooks has never been the type to go after boys. They usually come to her, so she's never had to try. But now, there is one boy that she really likes, but he isn't coming to her.

Zoey Brooks doesn't know how to go after a guy, in Nicole's words. So, how can she 'go after' Chase Matthews? She can't. Nicole told her it wasn't that hard, but Zoey thought it was.

Zoey Brooks likes Chase Matthews, but he isn't coming after her. Does that mean he doesn't like her? Should she try anyway?

Zoey Brooks has no idea how to get Chase Matthews to like her.

--

Nicole Bristow has always been boy crazy. She's never been afraid to just ask a guy out. Boys don't strike her as complicated, like they do some girls.

Nicole Bristow has read the magazine articles about boys. She knows all there is to know. But that doesn't mean much.

Nicole Bristow isn't worried about boys. So some magazine says that guys like it better if you wait for them to ask you out. She would rather just ask then wait around. Especially if the waiting never ends.

Nicole Bristow has had many boyfriends. When she got sent to that all-girls school, that didn't make her stop thinking about them. As soon as she gets out of there, she'll be back to her old ways.

Nicole Bristow doesn't let boys opinions bother her in the least.

Dana Cruz is a very tough girl. She can do just about anything. From sports to school work, she doesn't have to try hard to do well.

Dana Cruz can beat Logan Reese in anything she feels the need to. Basketball, academics, and just being herself. When she's around, he doesn't stand a chance.

Dana Cruz left after eighth grade. She never thought she'd miss anyone at PCA as much as she missed Logan.

Dana Cruz missed beating Logan in everything. She missed their fights, and even his 'wanna make-out?' phrase. But she knows he wound never give her a second glance, because she's not blond.

Dana Cruz has never missed someone as much as she misses Logan Reese.

Quinn Pensky has always been book-smart. She can tell you just about anything about science. She knows everything about how things work.

Quinn Pensky can create a quinnvention in record time. Her inventions can do just about anything. She knows how to make everything a person could ever need.

Quinn Pensky doesn't miss Mark. Mark Delfigalo just didn't understand her love of science. He was more interested in his salami than her. She has moved past him now.

Quinn Pensky knows that Logan tries to understand her science talk. She can't expect him too, but she's glad that he pretends. She knows that he still may have some feelings for Dana, but she's not going to be the one to bring it up.

Quinn Pensky isn't sure if Logan Reese is the right boy for her.

--

Lola Martinez is a very good actress. She can perform just about anything. She knows she's good at acting. She also knows that she's not good at sports.

Lola Martinez does like Vince Blake. But she's just not sure if she could stand it if he became a professional football player. Yes, he's good, but she's just not sure.

Lola Martinez wonders about things. She wonders if Vince would miss a movie she was in just because of a football game. She wonders if they will actually work out anyways.

Lola Martinez is very confused about her feelings toward Vince Blake.

**Home**

_**Another summer day**_

_**Has come and gone away**_

_**In Paris and Rome**_

_**But I wanna go home**_

July

Logan stood in his hotel room and watched the sun setting from the balcony window. The sun was golden red, and cast a golden rod glow over the whole city. The colors made the buildings look beautiful and peaceful. Yeah, the scenery was astonishing, and theinside of the hotel room was magnificent too.

He had a huge suite on top of a wonderful hotel. Being the producer of a huge, potentially hit movie, had its perks. The room had a main bedroom, sitting room, mini kitchen, and balcony. He liked it, had comfortable night's sleep in the beds, but something was missing.

He had been working on this movie for two months now, and he liked doing it. He enjoyed the attention and perks. But he couldn't have the one thing he wanted most, to be home. He had traveled all over, Paris and Rome, but none of it was home, and he was beginning to realize that he wanted to go home, to her.

_**Maybe surrounded by **_

_**A million people**_

_**Still feel all alone**_

_**I wanna go home**_

__

_**Oh, I miss you, you know**_

He was surrounded by more people then he could count. All of them wanted something from him. His opinion on scene changes, script changes, character changes; his signature on papers asking for new filming areas and location changes. People were squawking in his ears and all around him. People were everywhere, putting together cameras, actors practicing lines and chatting, makeup and hair artists fixing looks, designers changing costumes and many other individuals doing a variety of jobs.

But as Logan stood in their midst, he felt as if he was detached and distant. He heard the people and saw their movements, but he didn't feel as if he belonged. He felt like a ghost walking among them. As if he was transparent and was more part of the scenery, then an actual person working there.

He felt alone not like himself. He wanted nothing more than to go home, go back to that little house they had shared; sit in the rocking chair with her and rock her gently to sleep. He wanted nothing more than to eat dinner across from her, watching her every movement.

He missed her more than anything. He missed her smile, her laugh, her voice rising in anger or happiness, but mostly he just missed her. He missed Quinn, his other half.

_**And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you**_

_**Each one a line or two**_

"_**I'm fine baby, how are you?"**_

_**I would send them but I know that it's just not enough**_

_**My words are cold and flat**_

_**And you deserve more than that**_

That night after he got back to the room he took a warm shower, changed into comfortable sweats and laid on the couch staring at a box in front of him. The box contained thirty something "letters." He didn't know if they really could be called letters, they were just paper with a few lines written on them. Odd beginnings such as, "Hi, how are you?" and "I'm fine, things are going well." But he never finished them.

He just couldn't put to paper what was in his heart. He always started out wanting to express how much he missed her and wanted to see her again. That he would give up all of this just to hug and kiss her again. But every time he set the pen to paper, he couldn't get any of that out.

All that he wrote sounded impersonal and cold. All his words sounded like a letter to a friend, not his love. All his words sounded like he had no personal attachment to her, like he just was curious or being polite. He couldn't figure out how to write his words with the love his heart had.

He was determined to figure out how to communicate that love. She deserved to hear how much she meant to him. She deserved to hear it in person, from his lips not from cold lifeless pieces of paper.

_**Another airplane **_

_**Another sunny place**_

_**I'm lucky I know**_

_**But I wanna go home**_

_**I've got to go home**_

He sat on the plane on watched the clouds below him, wondering if he was above their place. He was off to California to finish the movie; he would be about five hours from her. He felt the pain of her absences even more.

He was lucky, everyone kept telling him that. He was one of the youngest producers to work on a huge budget movie ever. He had talent and skills and the ability to go far, everyone said. But none of that meant anything to him; he was lucky and going places. But none of those places felt right without here.

He didn't want to be lucky or famous anymore. These last few months taught him that all he wanted was to go home. To be home would make him the luckiest man on Earth.

_**Let me go home**_

_**I'm just too far from where you are**_

_**I wanna go home**_

As he watched the plane descend from the sky, he realized that it didn't matter if he was five hours from home or thirty thousand feet above it, it was all too far. Any place that wasn't her side was too far. He wanted to be home, right beside her, close as he could get.

_**And I feel like I'm living someone else's life**_

_**It's like I just stepped outside**_

_**When everything was going right**_

_**And I know just why you couldn't**_

_**Come along with me**_

_**This was not your dream**_

_**But you always believed in me**_

Logan walked down the ramp and exited to the main airport areas; as he wandered his way to baggage claim, he pondered something. As he walked he realized something, a light bulb went off in his head, as if he had been hiding in the shadows and now he was standing in the sun light.

He had taken this job because she said it was a great opportunity. Something he would probably never get again. He had contemplated the decision over and over, trying to decide what to do.

He didn't want to leave; he wanted to take her with him. But he couldn't, her work was at home. She was doing research, and she couldn't leave it. They had talked for hours and she finally told him it was not her dream, it was his.

His dream was to be the big producer; her dream was to be a famous, ground breaking scientist. But she couldn't do that traveling all around the world with him. She finally told him to go, chase his dreams and they would figure things out when he got back.

He realized something now though; he had already gotten his dream, her. The one person who believed in him most, and now he wanted to go back. He wanted to end this dream and build on that one.

_**Another winter day has come**_

_**And gone away**_

_**In even Paris and Rome**_

_**And I wanna go home,**_

_**Let me go home**_

December

He had tried to talk them out of it. He had done everything in his power to end his contract and end his commitment. But he was told no, he had a deal and he was going to honor it.

He just finished his last premier and interview. He was back in his trailer, looking around. He had gone through so much since this started, but the one thing he did learn was that he love Quinn and now he just wanted to go home. Now his contract was done and he was able to do just that.

_**And I'm surrounded by**_

_**A million people**_

_**Still feel alone**_

_**Oh, let me go home**_

_**Oh, I miss you, you know**_

He had been surrounded by a million people for months but the entire time he had felt totally alone. He missed Quinn and all he wanted to do now, was go home. He wanted to be with the one person he missed most, and he was going to do just that.

_**Let me go home**_

_**I've had my run**_

_**Baby, I'm done**_

_**I'm coming back home**_

_**Let me go home**_

_**It will be all right**_

_**I'll be home tonight**_

_**I'm coming back home**_

He was back on a plane again, far above the clouds. This time he looked down at the same clouds and a smile swept across his face. This time he wasn't off to some far distant land, he was on his way home.

He was only an hour from home; he was so excited he could barely sit still. He was done; he had chased his dream, caught it and now was done with it. Now all he wanted to do was go back to his baby.

He pulled out his phone and hit her speed dial. His heart soared when he heard her answer. Without hesitation, he answered, "Hey baby, it's me and I'm coming home tonight!" he smiled and felt tears fall when he heard her happily sobbing reply Yeah, everything was perfect, he was going home.

A/N: So I am pretty happy with how this one turned out, review and let me know what you think. Vote in the poll cause I think I have another tye, thanks for reading.

Poetic Love

**A/N: Like it says in the summary, this is just an acrostic poem I wrote about Quinn and Logan. Enjoy and review please! :) **

**L**oves Quinn more than anything or anyone else in the world (yes, even himself).

**O**verprotective at times, especially when Del Figgalo is around, but you can't blame a guy for wanting to keep his girlfriend safe, can you?

**G**enerosity had never been Logan's thing. That is, until he met _her._

**A**ppeased (a word he learned from her) was how he felt after he pronounced his love for her at the prom in front of everyone.

**N**_ever_ would he leave her, _never _would he upset her, _never _would he treat her like the ex-boyfriend who could _never _have her back.

**R**eason why he loves her so much? No need for a reason, he just does.

**E**nvy is what other students felt about their relationship, though they would probably never admit it.

**E**gotistic used to be the only word people could think of to describe him, but she changed all that.

**S**hrewd is what she was until she started dating him, and he melted her heart.

**E**verlasting was the only word either of them could think of to describe their relationship.

Just Physical

**Just Physical**

"What are doing here?"

"Well I figured since Zoey and Lola are busy with their boyfriends, we could..."

"No," she said firmly. She didn't even look up from her computer screen while she sat on Zoey's bed with him right accross from her.

Logan knew the game. She always refused him, but he always got his way, eventually.

..

...

..

She felt his foot along her leg inching up to her knee. She looked down to her food and tried to concentrate on eating her meal peacefully.

She could feel him try to lift her pants up desperate to touch her bare skin around her ankle and shin.

She glared at him hinting for him to stop. He looked strait at her and continued grazing her skin with his bare foot.

"Quinn...Quinn are you listening?," Lola jabbed Quinn in the arm.

"Huh?" Quinn could see Logan chuckle in the corner of her eye as she turned to Lola.

"Pass the salt?," Lola impatiently asked, oblivious to what was going on.

"Yeah." His touch was driving her insane. She could barely think strait. "Umm I'm not really hungry. I'll catch up with you guys later." She hastily picked up her bag and tray and left hearing a mumble of good-byes.

Two minutes later Logan got up and started to leave the table, "Got football practice, see ya."

..

...

..

He pushed her up against the wall and kissed her hungrily. Her mouth was moving just as passionately with his as he started to unbutten her shirt with one hand, while the other was reaching below her lower back.

He pulled away from her lips to get a better view of what he was trying to tear off.

"This isn't right," Quinn whispered. Logan ignored her. "We have to stop this," she tried once again. Finally getting all the buttons, he started kissing her again.

She let him and kissed back defeated and helpless.

..

...

..

She walked down the path and saw him with another girl. She saw their lips crashing against each others.

Pain ached in her body. 'Why would I expect any less from him,' she thought and continued walking as she felt her eyes soak.

..

...

..

"Just leave me alone, Logan. I'm not in the mood."

"Come'on Quinn you always say that." Logan moved closer putting his hands on her waist.

Quickly she tore his hands off her. Close to tearing she yelled "What am I to you, some doormat? You don't own me Reese, so stay the hell away from me." Tears started falling from her eyes. She looked away from Logan and uneffectively tried to hold in her sobs.

Logan was confused. Why was she crying? He hadn't done anything that he hadn't done before one of their _meetings_. "Quinn...what's wrong? Why are you crying so hard?"

She didn't answer him.

He didn't know what to say so he just held her and let her cry on his shoulders. For the first time, they sat alone doing nothing but hold each other.

..

...

..

"Hey Quinn, what's up," Logan jogged up to catch up with her as she walked towards the quad. "I mean are you ok from last night...you didn't seem...umm..."

"I'm fine."

"You sure?"

She stopped dead in her tracks. "Why do care?"

He stared at her. She continued, "Ever since you kissed me, I've been different...it just hurts to see you knowing that we can't...I just can't do this..." Her voice fell into a whisper.

"I thought you were cool with this...situation."

"Situation," she let out a slight chuckle, "You mean just physical, no strings, friends with _benefits_?"

"Well, yeah."

"Well it's not working for me any more."

"Come'on Quinn, just try and understand..." he tried.

She stopped him, "No, you understand." She took a breath, "Do you know how much it hurts to love someone who doesn't love you back?"

Logan swallowed.

"That's what I thought," She left his eyes and walked away towards her dorm.

A confused look was etched on his face as he stared at her figure.

What ever they had was over, they both knew it.

..

...

..

She saw him a couple days later with another girl. She could tell they were flirting. He kept flashing that famous grin.

He locked eyes with Quinn and looked away just as quick to continue what he was doing.

Quinn could feel her heart breaking. He wouldn't change for her. She didn't think he could change for anyone.

..

...

..

He quietly walked into her dorm. "I was scared," his voice was dead serious.

She was startled to hear his voice. After two weeks of silence, she had lost all hope of talking to him again.

"What?"

"I was scared that you would leave me if we started a real...relationship," he looked down at the floor.

"How could you think that if we never even tried?"

"I thought it would be easier. If we got any closer then you'd realize I wasn't good enough for you and that we had nothing in common. Then you would probably find someone better."

She stared at him.

"I've never been in a real relationship...that way I don't have to hurt, but the truth is that I do love you. These last weeks have been hell and I've figured out that this hurts more. I know I hurt you. I was stupid and I...I just didn't want to lose you."

He finally looked up into her eyes. Tears flooded his eyes.

"You won't," she said with full confidence "I promise." She had to give into him. He was just too hard to resist.

His eyes brightened up with joy as he looked her in the eyes. A small smile crept on her face.

"So..." he looked back down with a slight shyness in his voice, "will you go out with me...please?"

She bit her lip to try and stop the grin that was starting on her face, "I'd like that."

People Always Leave

_Summary: I can sit here and say I'm mad because I miss the space. But thats far from the truth. Logan centered drabble_

_So basically I got this idea from that episode where Logan's all mad because James has moved in. It evolved from there. Hope you enjoy._

_Disclaimer: I own idea, plot, writing, and Joe Jonas. Nothing else._

**People Always Leave**

I guess you could say I'm a pretty popular guy. I've got loads of friends, girls are always drooling over me, and my dad is rich. There's nothing there that doesn't scream popularity. Everything there screams happy, too, right?

Wrong.

For years of my life, I always thought that something was missing. It was I was a great big puzzle that I had to fit together and for the most part I did. But there was always that piece. The one puzzle piece that I'd never seen, but needed to be whole.

It was quite the predicament.

Then PCA waltzed on in, and I was actually happy. For a little while. The missing feeling eventually returned though. I just felt...empty.

The above tends to be a whole different story though. I just thought I'd share. It might relate to what I'm saying, but I have no idea. I never do these days.

Let me backtrack. When I came to PCA, I met Michael and Chase who instantly became my friends. I mean, we were lumped together in the same dorm. How could we not? So we did, and thats when my life truly started. We met Zoey, Nicole, and Dana (I'll get to her in a second). We had a lot of things going for us. I didn't need to work for happiness anymore. It just came to me.

Ah, Chase. Chase and I never seemed like the closest of friends. We really didn't. I never seemed very close to anyone to be honest. But the two of us were. We told each other everything. The very first night we told each other every little detail about our lives. We were close right away, and I can't say he wasn't my best friend.

Chase wanted to be friends with everyone, though so the two of us just didn't seem close in crowds. It just happened, and it's not a bad thing. It was just there, er, not there.

Then there's Dana. Chase might have run into a pole the first time he saw Zoey, but he was no more mesmerized by her then I by Dana. She was gorgeous. Her chocolate brown eyes held so much emotion, so much passion. They would show you everything she felt, if only you looked hard enough. Her caramel locks held life and vibrancy. Her skin was smooth and tanned, but it was all natural. The only make up she wore was eyeliner, and she still looked breathtaking every single day. Dana...I can honestly say that I fell in love with Dana the second I laid eyes on her. It just isn't something I question.

Dana and I got closer as the year wore on, but we didn't let anyone see it. We just didn't feel like everyone else mattered. What we had didn't have to be out in the open to be real. We told each other a lot, everything really. We became more then just friends. I felt like I'd found that one missing piece. I honestly felt whole.

Every time I kissed her, I felt like it was the first time. Her slightest touch set my blood on fire. One look and I was mesmerized. The feel of her soft hair between my fingers was a whole other pier then any other feeling. The feel of her smooth skin next to mine was the closest to heaven that I'll ever be. Being with her made me feel alive. It let me live.

Then she was gone. Like sand through the cracks in my fists, she'd slipped away over the summer and left me completely alone. I had her no longer, and I felt broken. There was a void where my heart should have been, and it hurt to breathe a single breath. My mind was always turning to her. I couldn't even leave my room for the first couple of days for fear of more reminders of her.

I was pretty much left alone, but one day Chase had burst through the door. He had screamed at me that sitting here sulking wasn't going to bring Dana back from France. He told me that I could live to breathe as I had done before I met her, or continue to live life the way she had taught me to. It had ended in me coming out of my room and being Logan again. Chase had always been there, and I knew that even though Dana wasn't, and even though I missed her like hell, I always had Chase here to talk to. You can always count on a kid with big hair. Always.

So life went back to normal. Days went by, and I didn't hurt as much anymore. She was still constantly on my mind. It sometimes hurt a little, too. But I was almost me again. It wasn't so bad anymore. I was getting over things.

I even had my own personal counselor. Chase always sat me down on the beach and told me to talk. He wanted to know how my day had gone and if I hurt as much. He wanted to know what I thought and felt. He kept me sane. Chase was the only one who really cared.

Then Zoey left. He went into himself, and I finally got my chance to repay him for everything he'd done for me. I related to him. I told him I'd been there, I knew what he was feeling, and I could help him. He exploded. He refused to accept that he loved Zoey. He wouldn't hear any word of it. But we finally got him to realize it. I thought it would be a turning point, that he would get better with some good friend to friend one on one.

Not so much how it worked out.

He was suddenly gone. No word of where he was going. No goodbyes. No nothing. Just gone.

I dealt with it for a while. I let myself be immersed with girls and noodle throwing. I let my focus switch to Michael. I put up a wall to try and keep out the hurt. I didn't feel anything for a while. I didn't let myself.

And along came James. I was angry. Not because of the girls, but because I felt like he was trying to replace Chase. Getting all comfy with Zoey when we all knew she loved Chase just as much as he loved her. It pissed me off.

So I can sit here and say that I'm mad because of the lost space, but its far from the truth. I miss Chase. I miss Dana. The void is back. The puzzle piece was stolen. The sand slipped from my fingers. The sun doesn't seem as bright. The rain not as loud. Everything is dulled. I feel nothing.

Maybe that's why I latched onto Quinn. She likes me. I can see it in her eyes. I, however, feel nothing. She'll never replace Dana. She can't even come close. But she'll do.

All my life I've felt like I had people around me, that everyone was there for me. But I see the truth now. I see it clearer then ever.

People always leave.

They stay with you for a while, get their kicks, and then run. They never stick around for the grand finale when you need them most. They escape it.

I'm not going to say Chase never cared or that Dana never loved me because I know they did. Chase showed it, and I felt it in every tiny kiss Dana gave me. Those things just aren't things I question.

But they left. Just like everyone will at some point.

Because people always leave.

_Not much substance to it. More drabblish then I meant it to be. But hey, what can you do? Hope it was good._

_Review please, loves?_

Hair

**Hair**

"Daddy! We're gonna be late!" Haley Reese yelled at her father. She loved school, especially her first grade teacher.

"Good hair takes time," he said, flipping a comb in her hair. The bathroom filled with giggles, and Logan kept grooming his daughter's hair to perfection.

"Good thing Mommy had to cover Miss Lisa's shift this morning, cause she would be yellin' at you, and you would be sleepin' on the couch tonight." On the wall outside the door, the clock was about to strike nine. First grade started at eight-twenty five on the dot. But still, Logan Reese could not be convinced to leave until Haley's hair was perfect. His motto was 'Everything can wait for your hair'. The only thing that couldn't was his wedding to Quinn.

"Aaaand, done!" The girl hopped down from the counter, and grabbed her backpack and lunchbox, and followed her father out to his silver Jaguar. They raced all the way to (go figure) Albert Einstein Elementary School. Logan grabbed his daughter's hand and they raced into the building.

"Mr. Reese, you know we have a zero-tolerance policy on tardiness," the secretary, Ms. Gretchen drawled, peering up at Logan with her hawk-like grey eyes from under her glasses.

"Yes, I know, but maybe you'll reconsider?" he smiled charmingly, and slipped a crisp fifty onto her desk.

"Just this once I will let it slide." Logan and Haley cheered, as he swung her high above his head, kissed her forehead and set her back down. She raced off to class, laughing hysterically.

"Bye, Daddy! Love you!" was the last thing he heard, echoing down the halls. He smiled, and strolled casually out of the building.

**Haha, I am watching Lola Likes Chase, and he was giving Dustin a makeover, and thus this was born! Leave me your feedback, and check out my other Zoey 101 stories while you're at it!**

**Grey Eyed**

**PS I do not own Zoey 101. Just the adorable Haley.**

Full Circle Around a Christmas Tree

AN: written for a friend.

Full Circle Around the Christmas Tree

She walked slowly down the corridor of the school while she replayed the memories of the past week in her mind and a small smile slowly creeped itself onto her face. As she continued reliving her life in color, a black and white image forced itself into her thoughts causing a frown. The memory of that one eventful Christmas saddened her. The pieces of her heart that she managed to sew back slowly ripped themselves apart again. It was such a small thing that caused her the grief. It started with their normal bickering, but it got blown up. They were sitting in her living room setting up her Christmas tree.

"_Dude, you're gonna love your Christmas present. It is absolutely amazing and completely unbeatable to anything else you'll get. Yeah that's right. Be excited!"_

_"Hahaha. I still have to get you your gift and make your card. I'm going later today with some of my friends."_

_"Err..I thought we were going shopping together this Saturday?"_

_"Well, it's just that I-"_

_"Yeah, I get it. I'm not part of your group. Even after all this time I've spent trying to intermingle with you guys. It's cool. Have fun shopping. I'm gonna go."
"Wait!"_

_"What do you want?"_

_"Maybe we can get a bite for lunch and talk about girl stuff on Sunday?"_

_"Why? So you can change plans on me again? No thanks."_

_"Wait, I didn't mean-"_

_"Yeah, whatever, I didn't mean to spend so much time on you and your little group anyways. Maybe I'll see you around. Maybe I won't. I've had enough crap poured on me. Maybe it's time to go our different ways again. May peace be with you." As she watched her friend since childhood walk away from her, she wanted to make things right, but her body had its own accord and turned never to look back._

_The next day as she saw her friend in the hallway, she lifted a hand to say hi only to see that her friend looked right through her and walked right past. She saw her friend hanging out with a couple friends and went up to them to tell them of a story. Facing her friend, she realized that the friend no longer cared. All the things that she wanted to tell her friend was no longer worth anything. With each passing day, she realized that her friend could no longer be called her friend. The words she wanted to speak, the longing of familiarity in her situation tugged at her heart. She faked a smile and pretended that it was alright that she lost her friend._

_An opportunity presented itself however, one fateful day as she walked into the girls' bathroom, she saw her old friend sitting in a corner crying. Her mind started reeling. She had never seen her ex-friend cry before. Something was terribly wrong. As she went to comfort her old friend, the ex-friend looked up at stared sharp daggers that could have pierced her heart right there._

_"I don't need you. If I needed someone, I would go to someone who cared." The ex-friend dried her eyes, acted as nothing happened, and walked out the bathroom door, and with that, walked out of her life completely._

She still missed her old friend. She missed being able to tell her friend stories about what happened in her life today. She missed being able to laugh next to her. She missed their friendship, and as she passed by the location of the whole scenario, she couldn't help it. The tears started to leak out. At first they came slowly but pretty soon the water flowed like a stream down her cheeks. She had not cried since third grade, and when it finally dawned on her what she was doing, she could at last place the feeling of unrelentless sorrow.

With water dripping from her face, she ran as fast as she could to a place of sanctuary. Not watching where she was going, she bumped into him. Of all the people she had to bump into it had to be him. The one person she had a crush on since she first saw him. He was going to make fun of her and embarrass her. It was a perfect way to make a bad day even worse; however, it didn't seem like he was planning on teasing her. He was being nice? He probably just felt pity for her because of her current state.

"Hey! What's wrong with my fave girl?" As he draped his arm around her, she remembered that he was a ladies' man, but still, a crush since forever.

"Nothing. I'm good. You?"

"I know that you think I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, but c'mon, give the man some credit! I can tell that you're obviously not alright unless having tears streaming down your face is the new way to express joy?" Nope. He was still that sarcastic, egotistical jackass. At least it was an attempt at getting her to smile.

"You, a man? You learn something new everyday!" As she jokingly voiced her thought, her brilliant smile almost managed to reappear on her face. Not going unnoticed by the boy, he squeezed her shoulder and led her into an empty classroom to talk and get a smile to be etched out on her face again.

After completing her story, the boy looked down at the girl in his arms and hugged her with as much love as he could give. She needed it and giving the girl of his dreams a hug had always been one of his goals. Melting into his hug, a smile appeared on her face once again, and she comprehended how true a quote was. _As soon as a window of opportunity shuts, a new one is opened._ The boy saw the girl smiling and gradually falling asleep. Maybe he'd get some sleep now too. He'd mention the mistletoe above them later. The last thing he saw as he fell asleep with a smile on his face was the lights of the Christmas tree flashing brightly.

Hope you enjoyed it Ariel! Hearts, Jenn

I Always Knew You Wanted Me

I Always Knew You Wanted Me

**Disclaimer: I do not own anything. Although I wish I owned Logan :D.**

Everyone was hanging out in the lounge. Zoey and Nicole were sitting in the brightly colored bean bag chairs reading the newest issue of a magazine. Chase and Michael were busy fighting each other for the remote control. Logan was sitting back on the couch, listening to his iPod. Dana and her boyfriend of one week, Jake, were sitting on another couch across from Logan. Jake had his arm around Dana while she rested her head on his shoulder. She had a dazed look on her face while she stared at the floor. She seemed to be thinking about something else, besides the story her boyfriend was telling her.

"So anyways, I steal the ball from him, dribble up the court on a fast break, and score the game winning shot," Jake was telling Dana. Logan looked up at them for a second and rolled his eyes.

_He's such an ego-case,_ thought Logan. _And that's ironic for me to think that. I mean I, Logan Reese, with an ego the size of Texas, just called Jake an ego-case. But whatever. I know the only reason I'm thinking this is because I'm jealous. There's another first: me being jealous. But of course I'm jealous of Jake; he's dating my crush, Dana. And it kills me because she doesn't deserve someone like that. Because, come on, the guy thinks he's so great and hasn't stopped talking about himself for the past twenty minutes! He's even telling her about the basketball game from last night. HELLO? She was there! She's on the team! Ugh, whatever. This is too annoying to watch. I'm leaving. _

Logan stood up and pulled his headphones out of his ears. He had to get out of there. No matter how loud he turned up the volume on his iPod, he still couldn't drown out Jake's loud, bragging voice. Logan said good-bye to his friends and started to leave. However, just as he started walking out it sounded like Jake finally stopped talking about the basketball game.

"You know, Dana," Jake said, "I really like you."

Dana was still staring at the floor when she replied, "I really like you too, Logan."

Logan froze in mid-step. Dana snapped out of her trance and looked at Jake with her hand over her mouth. Logan turned around and looked at her. As a matter of fact, the room went completely quiet, and everyone was staring at Dana and Jake. Jake ripped his arm out from around Dana, got up, and pushed past Logan out the door. Dana ran after him, keeping her eyes on the floor when she passed Logan. Logan followed them to where they stopped outside and watched them from behind a bush.

"Jake, I'm so sorry. It was just a slip of my tongue," said Dana.

"Yeah, whatever," Jake said as he turned to walk away.

"Stop!" Dana pulled his arm to turn him around. "I like _you_, Jake."

"Yeah, but not as much as you like Logan, Mr. Ego-Case!" screamed Jake. Logan clenched his hands by his sides.

"Excuse me? He's the ego-case? Compared to you he's the definition of humble!" Dana yelled. Logan smiled.

"Yeah right!" Jake screamed. "He brags about everything! His stupid father the big time movie director. All his stupid, expensive electronics. Plus, he flirts with all the girls on campus and you still like him more than you like me?!?"

"Are you kidding me? You're a way bigger ego-case than Logan!" yelled Dana. "You kept going on and on about the basketball game! I was there you idiot! I'm on your team!"

"Whatever. You're just jealous I got the game winning shot and you didn't!"

Dana rolled her eyes. "See. That's exactly why the only reason I'm going out with you is to make Logan jealous!" Dana clapped her hand over her mouth. Logan stood in shock. Jake looked like he was just punched in the stomach.

"You bitch!" Jake smacked Dana across the face. She stood there shocked, with her hand holding the check he hit. Her eyes were welling up with tears.

Logan jumped up from where he was hiding behind the bush, ran up to Jake and punched him. "Didn't anyone ever teach you that you're not supposed to hit a girl!"

Jake lunged at Logan. They were rolling around the floor fighting.

"Stop!" yelled Dana. She pushed Jake off of Logan and helped Logan off the ground. Logan was about to go back at him but Dana held him back.

"Please don't," she said.

"If you ever go anywhere near her again you're a dead man!" Logan threatened while Jake walked away. Jake just flipped him the finger and kept walking.

After a few seconds of silence, Dana said, "Let's go clean you up," to Logan who had a bleeding nose and a swollen cheek. She grabbed his hand and led him to room 101 in Butler Hall. They went in the room to find it empty. Zoey and Nicole still must've been looking at magazines in the lounge. Logan sat on Dana's single bed. She handed him a napkin to put on his nose while she gently placed an ice pack on his swollen cheek. Dana sat down next to him and Logan looked at her. Her cheek was still a little red from where she was hit.

"Why did punch him?" Dana asked. "You could have been suspended."

"But he hit you," replied Logan. After a few seconds her added, "Did you really mean what you said? That the only reason you went out with Jake was to make me jealous? Because you like me?"

Dana blushed. "Yeah."

There was a pause.

"Well it worked," Logan said. He took the napkin off his no longer bleeding nose and looked sideways at Dana. She lowered the ice pack off his face and looked at him. They leaned in slowly and their lips met in a soft, sweet kiss. They pulled back and smiled at each other. Yes, Logan Reese had a genuine smile on his face, not one of his usual cocky smiles.

"I always knew you wanted me," he said.

Dana laughed and rolled her eyes. They got up and walked back down to the lounge, hand in hand.

Infinite

He had confessed it in front of everyone, but hadn't said it only to her.

So, when they pulled away from their first public kiss, he leaned in to whisper in his girlfriend's ear.

"I love you so, so much. You make me feel infinite."

She was shocked at how well that word described how she felt whenever she was around him. The way she felt when he pressed his lips to hers in a toe-curling kiss. Infinite.

She ignored the fact that her boyfriend used such a complicated word, pronounced correctly, and used in the right context.

"I love you too." She whispered back.

Infinite.

Yeah, that described the feeling perfectly.

Forever and Always

**Summary: Forever and Always ended quicker that Quinn expected. QL**

**Author: Sammers101**

**Song: Forever and Always by Taylor Swift**

**Disclaimer: I don't own the song or the show :]**

29 year old Quinn sat alone in her apartment. It had been one week since the breakup. Lots of people had tried to comfort her (and hurt Logan), but all she wanted to do was be alone. And she was now. Her roommate, Sarah, was gone for the night with her boyfriend, and shouldn't be back until late. She was happy for the time to herself.

Quinn just sat there, watching the rain fall in the night sky, consumed by her thoughts, mostly of Logan. She remembered one thought in particular, the one of when she first saw Logan.

_Quinn got out of the backseat of her parents' Escalade and gathered her things from the trunk. This was going to be her first year at PCA, or even any boarding school. She was excited, but also nervous, because she had always been sort of a geek._

"_Are you sure you don't need help carrying all of your things to your dorm, sweetie?" Quinn's mom, Linda Pensky asked. _

"_Mom, I'm sure. Now can you leave already?" _

"_Okay, okay." She chuckled at her daughter's anxiousness. "Now you be good, okay? No blowing things up like you do at home."_

"_No promises." replied Quinn._

_Linda giggled. "Good enough. Now have fun. I love you."_

"_Love you too, mom. Bye!"_

_Quinn hugged her mom good-bye and walked towards the main office, as her mom walked back to the car. When she got to the office, there was already a guy in there, arguing with the desk lady. She walked closer and listened to what they were saying. _

"_But you put me with lame roommates! Why can't I be in my usual room with Chase and Michael?"_

"_I'm sorry, Mr. Reese, but there are no more rooms available. Now I'm going to ask you to leave one more time, and if you don't, I'm calling PCA security," the desk lady said._

_The boy let out a loud groan and turned around, and was going to leave, but he ran into Quinn. They both fell onto the ground, him on top of her. Quinn stared at him. To her, he was gorgeous. Light brown curly hair, brown eyes, and the cutest nose. But she could tell, just from the way he was talking to that lady that he was probably some kind of rich jerk._

_The boy got up, and walked away, not even offering to help her up. But she did hear him mumble something like 'watch where you're going, geek.'_

"_I'm sorry about that. That was Logan Reese, he's not one of the nicest students here. Let me help you up" the lady at the desk said as she came around and extended an arm to Quinn._

Quinn was interrupted from her thoughts by the cat. It was scratching at her feet, meowing, obviously because it wanted to be fed. She walks over to the cabinet and feeds the cat.

When she was a kid, Quinn wanted to be a cat. They must have the best life. All they do is eat and lay around. They don't have to worry about school or work or... stupid boys. That idea was sounding pretty good right about now, too.

Quinn settled herself once again and began to space out once again. This time, she was thinking about the first time he had told her he loved her.

_Logan and Quinn were lying on a blanket, just watching the stars; it was Valentine's Day. Logan had his arms around his girlfriend, holding her tight. Quinn had her head on his chest, and was beginning to dose off when her boyfriend's voice woke her up._

"_Baby? You awake?"_

"_Mhmm" she mumbled._

_Logan sat up, causing her to sit up too. They looked each other in the eye as he said, "Quinn you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never want to be without you. You have changed me, for the better. And I just wanted you to know that I love, and will love you, forever and always."_

_Quinn felt the warm tears emerge from her eyes and rolling down her cheeks. "Ohh Logan, I love you too!" she squeed, kissing him with passion and hugging him tight. _

"_Forever and always, Quinn," he mumbled through their tight embrace._

"_Forever and always," she repeated. _

Quinn remembered that that was one of the most romantic moments of her life. But now she can't even remember when she has last cried those happy tears. They used to be so familiar, but she doesn't think they'll ever come back.

They were so in love one day, and then the next, it was like he was half way out the door. But she knew that nothing would be the same when they went to college. She even told him that. Before she could stop it, she was trapped in another one of her flashbacks.

"_I'm going to miss you so much babe," cooed Logan._

"_Aw, me too! Promise you'll call me every night?"_

"_I promise" Logan said as he leaned in to capture his lips with hers._

_They were silent for a moment when Quinn cleared her throat and let out what was on her mind. _

"_Logan, you know long distance relationships usually don't work out. I'll be at Yale and you'll be all the way at UCLA. I don't want a relationship where we never see or talk to each other."_

"_Baby, that's not going to happen. Trust me, I love you, and there isn't a distance big enough to keep me from doing just that. And I'll call you every night, and it's not like we'll never see each other again."_

"_I know, and I love you too. But what if... you find someone better than me at your new school, and-"_

"_Quinn! That's never going to happen, I promise. Remember what I said? Forever and always. We'll always be together and I'll always love you." Logan said. "But only if you love me"_

_Quinn giggled and planted a kiss on her boyfriend's lips, moving her arms around his neck._

The thought sickened her. 'Forever and always, yea right,' she thought. And come to think of it, he had broken a lot of promises. She can't believe she let herself fall for such a guy! She was so stupid.

A sound of thunder distracted her from her rambling thoughts. She looked out the window and saw that it was still raining. This time, it was even harder than before.

She started making her way down the small hall. She didn't know why, but she ended up in her room. She sat at the edge of the bed. The current position was oh so familiar to her. She sat in the exact spot countless nights, waiting for the phone to ring, and to hear Logan's comforting voice on the other end.

But it never did. He never called.

She sat in silence those nights, just like now. Quinn hates the quiet, its cuts her to the core. Why was she here? She needs to go back to the living room, where she can at least hear the sound of the rain. That comforts her.

She got up and headed beck onto the couch, and got to thinking again. Maybe it was something she did. Had she been way to honest with him? Did she scare him away somehow? Was it something she did? What was wrong with her?

No! She couldn't blame herself for this. It was completely his fault.

Out of all her memories with Logan, the good and the bad, she remembers the breakup the most. And its also the memory that hurts the most.

_It had been 2 whole weeks, and not a single call from Logan! Quinn was furious. She drove all the way to UCLA and was walking down the hall to his room number. When she got to it, it was slightly open, so she opened it all the way, revealing a horrific sight: Logan was laying on the couch, on top of a girl, who was wearing nothing but lingerie, and they were making out. Apparently, they hadn't noticed Quinn's arrival. _

_She was so overwhelmed with anger that she took the first thing she could get her hands on and threw it at them (then object happened to be a dictionary.) They looked up immediately. Logan saw Quinn, and quickly got up._

"_Quinn, this isn't what it looks like" he said as he got up and walked towards her._

"_Save it!" she screamed as she ran out of his room. She could hear him calling her name, chasing her. She knew she couldn't outrun Logan, so she turned around so she could let out what she had been holding inside for what seemed like an eternity._

"_You know, I knew you were doing this! I just didn't want to face the truth. You haven't called in 2 weeks, Logan, 2 weeks! I tried to tell you that these long distance things don't work, and I was right. I guess you were just kidding when you said all those sweet things, and when you said we'd be together forever and always, because you sure as hell don't care about me! And don't even try to say something to try to get me back because it's not going to work. I'm not going to let this happen again; not ever. I'm not going to be anybody's second choice. So back up, and stay away from me, forever and always!"_

_Quinn took one final look at Logan. He was in shock. Quinn was too, because she didn't think she had the courage to actually say that. After a few seconds, she turned around and ran. She ran away from him, away from all the trouble in her life; and wasn't going to go back. _

It was raining on that day, too.

Quinn couldn't take it anymore. She ran to her front door, and stepped outside. She was standing in the rain, letting it pour all over her.

The rain felt so good. It was like all of her worries were washing away. She could start again, fresh. She could focus on school and her future, and her best friends. She didn't need guys in her life, at least not now.

She didn't regret her and Logan's relationship. She just wishes she would've seen this coming, so she could do something about it. Maybe if she had, they would still be together. That would have saved her all the anxiety and those many sleepless nights

She hadn't shed a single tear since the break-up. She wasn't planning on it. Quinn knew that she was strong, and she could keep it together. She always liked the rain, and tight now it seemed like her best friends. It was like the world was crying for her, and it wasn't going to stop anytime soon.

Forever and Always by CrAzY fOr QuOgAn


Zoey

Chorus of the Bells

I remember years ago when I was a kid. I lived with my parents and baby brother, Dustin. My family is the best. Friends... they're amazing, and they seem to be growing in numbers. Starting out, it was just me, myself, and I, but then I moved to PCA, and I let my walls come down. My first real friends were Dana Cruz and Nicole Bristow, my roommates. Dana and I got off to a bumpy start, but after we had to work together a couple of times, we started growing on each other. However, she moved away after only a year at PCA, and a girl named Lola Martinez moved in with Nicole and I. After her crazy Goth-girl act fell through, we became close friends. For the longest time, things were great.

After about two years, though, tragedy struck: Nicole was sent to rehabilitation for an obsession with boys. The school nerd, Quinn Pensky soon took up residence in our dorm, and we got to know each other. Quinn's frightening habits got better, and Lola and I grew as people as well.

Three boys, Chase Matthews, Logan Reese, and Michael Barret were the first people we met at PCA, and we were instantly friends (actually, Logan took some warming up to). Over time, Quinn actually started a relationship with Logan, though we all used to find him unbearable (Lola and I still do). After graduating from PCA, Dana and I reconnected, and Lola and my old friend discovered they couldn't cooperate with one another.

After enrolling in Schneider College, Quinn, Lola, and I became roommates once again. That was the first year we'd spent Christmas together. It was all so magical. Merry Christmas, everyone.

Love, Zoey Brooks

Dedicated to everyone who's helping out overseas, their families, who must be missing them more than ever around this time. To all my friends and family, and to The Lord, who is the reason for the season.

Zoey by emeralddusk


Enough

**I wrote this a long time ago...back when the show was still airing. It's my "Rebecca Redemption"piece. Please read and review!**

Rebecca Browning liked to think that life changed after high school, that people changed, that real life wasn't a reflection of the high school society.

She had a feeling, though, that her assumptions, or hopes actually, were wrong.

She had a feeling that Zoey would always be perfect and desirable. That Lola would always be beautiful and graceful. That Logan would always use his money to get his way. That Michael would always be the loveable goofball, joking about everything.

And that, she, Rebecca, would always be the girl who wasn't desirable or beautiful or rich or funny _enough_.

Sometimes all the profound thoughts left her with a headache.

Thursdays, in Rebecca's world, were the best days, because on Thursdays she could put away those profound thoughts for a little while. The Geology Club met every Thursday, in room G-34. Rebecca didn't exactly fit in with the people who attended the meetings and she didn't care all that much about rocks, but once a month the Geology Club took a field trip off campus. Rebecca lived for the trips simply because it was a chance to get off campus. Getting off campus for a day or weekend meant getting away from him. The him that every girl in high school has - he that was loved and then lost. Of course, Rebecca could only blame herself for losing him and pushing him so far away that he would never return.

Sighing, Rebecca pushed open the door of G-34 to enter her place of solitude. No more thoughts of Chase, she chided herself.

Inside, the members of the club stood around, discussing rocks. Not really interested in conversing with anyone else, Rebecca sat down in the chair that was hers, the one she sat in every Thursday.

"Rebecca," said a short, shy girl, sitting next to Rebecca.

Every Thursday Hope took the same seat, the one next to Rebecca. They never spoke but a brief greeting before the meeting began. This Thursday, however, Rebecca stopped short of speaking Hope's name in a return greeting. She stopped short because she noticed the look in Hope's pale blue eyes. It was a look she had often seen while looking at herself in the mirror. That look of hurt.

"Who is it?" Rebecca blurted out, for once not thinking before speaking.

"Who is...who?" Hope feigned confusion but Rebecca knew all too well that the pain in the other girl's eyes could only be caused by a who.

"The person _who_ hurt you."

Hope's eyes darted to her rough, untrimmed nails, which lay folded on the table in front of her. "Am I that obvious?"

"To one who has been hurt, yes." Rebecca tried to sound brave but her voice only came out wavering, sad.

Hope lifted her eyes to meet Rebecca's. "Oh." The girl paused a moment before continuing. "There's this guy...I like him. But...he has a...girlfriend." Hope whispered the last word, as if this guy's girlfriend, whoever she was, might jump from out behind a desk, over hearing Hope's confession.

"Ah. The pain of the other woman." Rebecca nodded knowingly. "I've been there."

"You...you have?" Hope's bottom lip trembled. "So, how do you...get over it?"

"I'll let you know when I figure it out."

Before Hope could respond, Mr. Treble entered the room and called the Geology Club to order.

An hour later, one hour free thoughts of Chase Matthews, Rebecca exited room G-34, intent on beginning a major study session for the history test she had the next day. She hadn't gotten far when a hand, a hand that needed a bit more lotion, stopped her.

It was Hope. "I was wondering if, maybe, you might want to eat dinner with me?"

Hope looked so hopeful that Rebecca couldn't turn her down.

* * *

The pathetic dinner of an unidentifiable brown meat covered in some sort of thick gravy accompanied by frozen peas was enough to make Rebecca's stomach turn. She poked at the mass, almost expecting it to jump, startled, off of her plate and run away. In barely concealed horror, she watched as Hope devoured the meat on her plate.

"So, this guy..." Rebecca prompted, feeling as if, for once in her life, she might have a person in whom she could confide.

"Oh, um." Hope swallowed her current mouthful of mystery meat before deblushing deeply and saying, "You can't tell anyone."

"Who am I gonna tell?" Rebecca asked, shifting one shoulder up.

"Okay," Hope chittered, nervously. "It's...Mark."

"Del Figgalo?" Rebecca burst out, holding back her giggles. "That heavy, funny looking guy in Geology Club?"

"He is not funny looking!" Hope cried, eyes flaming in indignation over her love's physical attributes being laughed at. "I think he's beautiful!"

'Well,' thought Rebecca. 'The heart sees what the eyes cannot I guess.' "Sorry. He's just not someone I would be attracted to."

Huffing, Hope stabbed another piece of meat, shoving it into her mouth, while flipping her long, blonde hair off her shoulder with the other hand. "Yeah, I know that most girls wouldn't find him attractive. I find his love of rocks and dead pan facial expressions endearing though."

"But he has a Quinn."

"Yes." Hope sighed, chewing her food loudly.

Rebecca, ignoring Hope's lack of manners, daintily forked a pea, placing it in her mouth. She would definitely have to hit up Sushi Rox later. After the pea was down her throat, Rebecca spoke. "Well, my Chase has a Zoey."

Flabbergasted at Rebecca's proclamation, Hope just stared, mouth agape. Thankfully, there was no food inside. "You like Chase? Matthews?" Rebecca nodded. "But he's not dating Zoey."

"No, he's not. But he is in love with her. Which I realized when we were dating. Which is why I made him choose. Which is why he chose Zoey. Which is why I blackmailed Zoey at the end of last year. Which is why all of her and his friends hate me. Which is why I begged my mom not to make me come back here this year." Rebecca leaned back, trying to belie her fear over Hope's reaction. She, after all, had never told anyone about her continued feelings for Chase.

"Wow." Hope leaned back as well, taking in the information. "So, we're kind of in the same boat then?"

"I would say we are."

It was the start of a strange friendship. Icy Rebecca and uncouth Hope. At least, what's the high school world saw. Rebecca and Hope, however, each found a friend who understood what no one else could. And, after having no friends for such a long time, each found new happiness. Yet, their hearts still ached over their longed after loves.

* * *

Hope's time seemed to come at the announced break up of her Mark and his Quinn.

Rebecca was in her room, painting her nails a dark red, when Hope charged in, grey shirt flapping a little. Her blue eyes darted around, making sure none of Rebecca's roommates were around, before collapsing on Rebecca's bottom bunk.

"Quinn and Mark broke up!" Hope whispered, as if afraid it might not be true.

"Really?" Rebecca arched one perfect eyebrow while applying another coat of red on her index finger. "So, are you going to go get your man?"

Hope's hopeful face faltered a moment before she said, "I can't just...I mean, they just broke up. Doesn't he need mourning time or something?"

"Why did they break up?"

"Well...Firewire told me that Quinn fell and Logan caught her with his lips."

Rebecca stopped in mid coat. "Firewire said..." She shook her head. "Firewire is such an idiot. But, even though I'm sure that's not exactly what happened, we can trust that he wouldn't make something like that up." The nail painting continued. "So Logan and Quinn, huh? Never saw that coming."

"Yeah, that Quinn is such a skank. How could she choose Logan over precious Mark?"

Choosing not to reply, Rebecca stretched her fingers out, admiring her work. "So, if he is the heart broken one, that means you have ample opportunity to move in and comfort him."

"Really? And that's okay?"

"Why wouldn't it be? You like him. You sincerely want him to feel better. Let him know that you care. Then, maybe he'll care back."

Hope's eyes shone. "Oh...it would be like a dream come true."

* * *

Only a few days later and Hope's eyes were shining again, but this time with tears. "Firewire got it all wrong," she gasped, head on Rebecca's shoulder. Rebecca rubbed small circles in her friend's back, remembering all the tears she had cried over Chase late at night, when she was sure her roommates were in deep slumber. "Mark broke up with Quinn because he needed some time to think about things, whatever that means. Logan kissed Quinn while comforting her. Neither of them meant for it to happen, I guess." Hope took a deep breath before going on. "Mark saw the kiss and told Quinn it was for sure over and then he found his own comfort with Stacey Dillsen. And now there are two new couples at PCA but I'm still...still...all alone!" Hope burst into a fresh batch of tears at the last word.

"I'm alone too Hope."

Sniffling, Hope pulled her head off of Rebecca's shoulder. "Yeah. We're alone together."

When their eyes met, Rebecca felt like crying herself but for the sake of her friend, kept it in.

That night, for the first time in months, Rebecca, after her roommates fell asleep, cried until her pillow was soaked.

* * *

It was Thursday, Rebecca's favorite day of the week. Although, because of Hope, Rebecca was growing to become rather fond of the other days too. She was humming, almost skipping, on the way to Geology Club, when the unexpected happened.

She bumped into someone. But not just any someone. A very particular someone.

"Chase," she said, feeling as if someone had sucked all the air out of her lungs.

"Rebecca," he responded, lips taut.

He was about to move around her but her hand shot out, on it's own accord, and stopped him.

"I never said sorry." The words tumbled out of her mouth, not sounding as if she had rehearsed them a thousand times, which she had. "About what I did to Zoey. You know, with the balloon." Her eyes found a spot on the ground on which to focus and she waited for him to respond. After a minute of silence, she raised her eyes to meet his. The look of confusion and tenderness in his eyes surprised her.

"You mean that." It was a statement, not a question, and she was relieved he believed her.

"I do. Could you tell her? Could you tell Zoey?"

Chase swallowed, still in shock. "Um, sure. But..."

"I know. She probably won't believe it." Rebecca offered him a half hearted smile. "Tell her anyway."

"Okay." Chase sent her one of his famous lopsided grins, that just melted her heart, before heading off.

Heart pounding, Rebecca decided not to go to Geology Club. Instead, she laid in her empty dorm room, with the lights off, crying. Hope found her there, and, without asking what was wrong, pulled Rebecca into a hug. For the millionth time, Rebecca was grateful to finally have a friend.

* * *

A week passed without incident. Rebecca concluded that Zoey had not accepted or believed the apology that Rebecca had relayed through Chase. Thinking further upon the matter, she decided that Chase had probably not even told Zoey.

Friday, however, proved Rebecca Browning wrong.

"Rebecca" said Zoey, hand on hip, almost sneering, towering over Rebecca as she sat picking at the salad in front of her. Trying not to freak out, Rebecca let her gaze sweep the courtyard, scanning for Hope. She saw her friend across the quad, eyes wide with fear for Rebecca.

"Hi Zoey," said Rebecca timidly, wondering if Hope would venture over. Obviously not, because the in the next instant she had vanished from the edge of the courtyard. "What's up?"

Zoey sat, brown eyes narrowed. "So you told Chase to tell me that you said you were sorry?"

If Rebecca hadn't been so terrified, she would've laughed at the construction of Zoey's sentence. "I did."

"What kind of game are you playing this time?"

Rebecca tried to relax a little, tried to show Zoey that she wasn't hiding anything. "No game," she said, splaying her hands in front in a show of baring all.

"Sure," Zoey snorted. "You're lying to me." She tossed her head, hair swishing in Rebecca's face.

"I'm not. You don't have to believe me. I truly am sorry." Rebecca took a deep breath before being honest with the girl she had once hated. "I know the way that I acted was inexcusable and just so...so high school. I was the conniving girl that everyone hates. But that girl, she's not who I want to be. I don't want to be stuck in high school. I want to grow up. So that's what I decided to do. I should've apologized a long time ago Zoey. But I was so scared. Bumping into Chase the other day, though, prompted me to do what I needed to." She met Zoey's eyes. "So, believe it or not, I am being sincere."

It was the longest moment of Rebecca's life and she had to question why she cared so much what Zoey Brooks, of all people, had to say. The answer, of course, was Chase. For Zoey, in his eyes was everything, and what she said would matter to him. And what _he_ thought mattered to Rebecca.

"Okay." It seemed to be all she had to say, along with a sweet smile. "I can't believe I'm saying it, but okay. I do believe you Rebecca."

Relief flooded Rebecca's whole body and she felt the cares of the last few months drain away. "Thanks Zoey."

"Well." Zoey stood up. "I should go. Chase is waiting for me."

"Hey Zoey." Zoey stopped, turned toward Rebecca, the sun behind her, causing a yellow glow to frame her being. In that instance, Rebecca saw Zoey the way that Chase saw her all the time. "Maybe we can be friends."

"Yeah, maybe."

* * *

"Phenomenal," Hope kept repeating, as she spun around in the computer chair in Rebecca's room. "You and Zoey Brooks, 'maybe friends'." She hooted. "What's next? Quinn and I as 'almost bosom buddies'. Or Stacey and I?"

Rebecca frowned, staring down at her math homework, trying to figure out the puzzle that was Geometry while talking to her friend. "You are already friends with Stacey."

"Not friends. She's just one of the only people who will talk to me. But I hate her."

"You'll get over it," laughed Rebecca.

"How did you?" Hope stopped the chair and faced her friend, tilting her head to one side. "How is that you can want to be friends with Zoey even though you know Chase is in love with her?"

"I guess..." Rebecca paused, thinking, placing her pencil down. "I guess I just came to realize that hating Zoey took up too much of my energy. Plus, it made me into this person that I didn't want to be. I always hated high school, you know? But then I got sucked into this very high school world and it was just so dumb." Rebecca shrugged. "I chose not to hate Zoey and it made me feel free. Her accepting my apology today solidified that freedom."

Hope's lips shifted downward as she pondered Rebecca's words. "I guess I shouldn't hate Stacey. I don't want to be, you know, so totally high school." The last words were spoken in a high pitched valley girl-like accent that caused both girls to collapse in a fit of giggles. After a few minutes, the giggles subsided.

"I'm glad we're friends Hope," Rebecca said, serious again. "Before that day in Geology Club, I wondered if I would ever have a friend in high school. You have proved that I can...I do."

Hope beamed at her friend. "Yeah, you've proved that for me too."

The serious moment quickly evaporated as the Hope erupted into giggles followed shortly by Rebecca.

It was those moments, where friends caught each other's giggles, that really made high school high school. Rebecca was pleased that high school was not what she had once written it off to be.
