We Are Broken

We Are Broken

Summary: Lola's been depressed lately, and an unexpected friend

shows her that she's not alone. Beginning of a femship, so don't like, don't

read deal? Okay then, so please R&R. \

PS: I DO NOT OWN PARAMORE OR ZOEY 101 TO CLEAR THAT UP

Lola's POV

I'm standing outside in the grass, soaking in the pouring rain, thinking about everything that

lead to this hollow person I've become. I start to cry, but no one will ever notice that since it's

practically flooding out here. Wondering if the sun will bring out the better of me.

_ I am outside and I've been waiting for the sun_

Life just hasn't been fair to me lately. I just lost my boyfriend to a hotter girl, no one even cares enough

to check to see if I'm doing okay. The PCA world I was thrown in is seriously demented, nobody cares

about anybody, they're just a bunch of self absorbed people with no life.

_ With my wide eyes, I've seen worlds that don't belong_

_ My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize_

There's seriously no point in even talking to anyone about this because no one would care and get

annoyed by my constant talking about how much my life has gone to hell.

_ Tell me why we live like this_

I feel an arm snake around my shoulder and walk me towards the dorms, I try to fight back and walk

back to where I was previously standing. The person keeps a tight grasp on me to stop me from

going back to my sanctuary.

" No, you're not going back there." The person says forcefully.

I whimper a bit and follow them to where they're leading me. I don't even look at them, even if they did

save me. I just look at the ground as we keep walking.

_ Keep me safe inside, your arms like towers_

_ Tower over me_

This walk is taking literally forever, I must have chose a great hiding spot. I hear the person that

literally captured me start to cry. Maybe I'm not as bad off as I thought I was.

_ Cause we are broken, what must we do to restore our innocence_

_ And oh, the promise we adored_

_ Give us life again, cause we just wanna be whole_

I finally realize where we are after I finally look up. We just entered the girl's lounge, but the person I

still haven't even bothered to acknowledge is still leading me somewhere. As soon as I know it,

we're at my dorm, and she has a key...ohh, so it was one of my roomates who rescued me. I don't

know who yet because I'm still not paying too much attention. The door opens, it's dark, but the light

stays off. I'm starting to enjoy whatever this is. I wish the room could stay like this forever.

_ Lock the doors cause I'd like to capture this voice_

_ That came to me tonight, so everyone will have a choice_

"Why were you out there, Lola? If the rain would've got any worse, you could've gotten really sick."

The person says...I finally recognize who captured me from my possible death.

" Nic-Nicole?" I barely whisper, it's so hard to speak right now, you have no idea.

" Yeah it's me." She says in a whisper. She gives me a tight hug, it feels so nice.

Did I really worry her? I honestly wouldn't think that she cared. She wasthe only girl here I could

remotely tolerate, then I really grew to like her, but she didn't seem to notice, which I though was like

a signal for 'I don't give a damn, just get out of my way.' I look up to see if i can actually see her, but it's

like pitch black in here. I couldn't feel her, and I felt abandoned at that point.

" Nicole?" I said, worry evident in my voice.

" Don't worry, I'm still here, I'm not gonna leave you." She said quietly.

I heard scraping against the wall, so I'm guessing she's trying to find the switch for the light. After two

minutes of that irritating sound, she finally finds the switch and barely turns it on. The light is red, it is so

awesome.

_ And under red lights, I'll show myself it wasn't forged_

_ We're at war, we live like this_

For once, I actually glance at Nicole. I immediately feel bad for her having to feel like she had to go out

there to my sanctuary and save me. Her hair is stringy and wet from the rain, her outfit was completely

drenched, and she was shivering. She smiled at me though, I looked at her, feeling guilty.

"Nicole...I'm really sorry." I said, my voice breaking.

" Lola, you don't have to be sorry, I'm just glad you're okay." She paused," You really scared me Lola."

She said, starting to cry, but trying not to completely break down, knowing that I was about to any

second now.

" I just have one question for you." I said sadly.

" What's that?" She asked trying to remain calm.

" Why did you save me?" I asked, going into sobs now.

She went over and sat in front of me, tears pouring out of her eyes, I wiped one away.

" Because I would've never forgiven myself if you would've died." Nicole said, remaining kinda calm.

At that point in time, I was ready to die. My life had gotten so bad that I just wanted to end it before it

really started. It wasn't just about Vince, it was also about my alcoholic fam, stuff like that. I'm glad

Nicole captured me because if it wasn't for her, I would've stayed outside until I died because I knew

the rain wouldn't have let up for days. Nicole laced her arms around my shoulders and buried her head

in my chest, this makes me feel a little better.

_ Keep me safe inside, your arms like towers_

_ Tower over me_

" Lola....were you trying to kill yourself?" Those words hit me like a city bus to the gut.

" At that point...yes." Now she decided it was her turn to break down crying.

" Why though...I mean what in your life is so bad that made you want to do that to yourself?" Aww, poor

Nicole, I didn't know that my decision would have such an impact on her. I'm fresh out of tears, I'm all

cried out as of now

" Do you want the whole list?" I asked being serious, but sounding sarcastic.

" You know, you're not the only one with a crappy life." Nicole said, calming down from her meltdown.

" Wanna compare?" That was pure sarcasm right there.

" I'm serious." I never knew hers was bad, I thought it was average," Bet you don't have foster parents"

" Oh shite? I didn't...whoa...umm...I'm sorry for reacting like this." I said, completely shocked.

" It's okay." She said quickly. I grabbed her hand and laced it with mine, I get her to smile again.

_ Cause we are broken, what must we do to restore our innocence_

_ And oh, he promise we adored_

_ Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole_

We're still sitting here, in red light, holding hands, both at ease now. It's been a while since both of our

meltdowns. The look on Nicole's face interests me, it's a look between amused and scared.

" Anything else on your mind, Nicole?" I asked curiously, knowing there was.

" Umm no, not really." Ooh she lied...it's so obvious.

" Don't lie, girlie." I said jokingly.

" Okay umm I'm just gonna say it..." She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it.

" Just say it, don't worry about my reaction alright? Just pretend you're telling someone else what you're

about to tell me, does that make it easier for you?" I asked. She nods.

" Well, I really like this person, dunno if she likes me back, scared to tell her ya know?" Oh, I do, I do.

" Who's the lucky chica?" I asked, praying to god it was me. It might not seem obvious, but I do

like Nicole, but she doesn't make my heart speed up, she just makes me feel important.

" Her name is Lola Martinez, she's cute, makes my heart speed up whenever I see her." YES!

YES! YES! YES! BOOYA! SWEET! Whoa.

" Ooh, I dig you too." I say for once with a real 100% smile.

Once again, she laces her arms around my shoulders, only this time, I do the same with a

satisfied smile on my face.

_ Tower over me, tower over me_

_ And I'll take the truth at any cost_

" You do know that we're gonna have to keep this under wraps though, right?" She asks.

" Keep what under wraps?" I ask, testing her.

"Us." Good, she can admit it.

" What's there to hide, Nicole? Why do you care so much what other people think? I don't know if I

can handle this if we have to do that." I said honestly.

" I don't know, I just don't wanna lose anyone because of this." Jeez, is what I thought all a lie?

" Like who? Seriously, if we can't be open about it, what's the point of even being together at this

point?" I asked, making a lot of sense.

" Okay, so if we do this for real...then..." I cut off her train of thought with a soft kiss on the lips. Ooh,

minty, me likey. She kisses me back, but with force. I finally realize that I'm not alone, no matter

what the issue is. I guess even the most broken people get their fair share of happy endings as well.

_ Cause we are broken, what must we do to restore our innocence_

_ And oh, the promise we adored_

_ Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole_

I really hope you liked it, the song got stuck in my head so I decided to make a songfic out of it.

Once again, I DO NOT OWN PARAMORE OR ZOEY 101, thanks for reading, please R&R.

Music Blared through her headphones

_**I cant eat without you**_

_**Icant sleep without you**_

_**I need you here to complete me**_

_**I need you here to save me**_

_**When I think about all the pain you've caused**_

_**all the lies you've told to me**_

_**I cry, and I cry, and I cry**_

_**I cant eat without you**_

_**I cant sleep without you**_

_**I need you here to complete me**_

_**I need you here to save me**_

_**I close my eyes and dream of you**_

_**I dont know what to do**_

_**You drive me crazy with your bid brown eyes**_

_**I melt when your lips meet mine**_

_**I turn into jelly when you hold me**_

_**Save me please**_

_**I cant eat without you**_

_**I cant sleep without you**_

_**I need you here to complete me**_

_**I need you here to save me**_

_**You've hyptnotized me **_

_**and hurt me deeply**_

_**the worst part...**_

_**I honestly dont even know**_

_**I cant eat without you**_

_**I cant sleep without you**_

_**I need you here to compete me**_

_**I need you here to save me**_

_**oh ooooo **_

_**save me**_

suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder...without looking back she answered

"what Resse"

"you have a nice voice, singing voice i mean" he said

"and how would you know that?" she asked, she was trying to have a peaceful day without anyone.. just alone. but NO.

"because you started singing out loud" he pointed out

"are you serious ??!!" she screamed. No one !! i mean NO ONE had ever heard her sing.

"ouch my ears... yes im serious" he said sitting beside her bed, where she was laying on her back.

"..."

"Dana, can you do me a HUGE favour?" logan asked

"no i will not make-out with you"

"not that. i need you to sing with me"

"What ?!! no way !!" she yelled sitting up

"please dana, please please please !! im begging you" logan pleaded

"mmm" she said thinking

"please cruz"

"fine. wahts the song?" she asked.

"umm.. its one that. i wrote" he said nervously.

"really, lets go practice it" she said excitedly. sure she fought with logan i mean it is THE logan reese. Logan 'heartthrob' Reese !!

"okay..." logan slowly lead the way out of room 101. I cant belive me and Dana.. THE Dana Cruz. Dana 'Danger' Cruz. are going to sing in the talent show. winner wins $1000 !! not that i need it I mean I am the Richest most sexxxiest person in the world.. Dana falls close behind though.

Days went by while the two continued to practice.. Zoey was off with Chase and Nicole practicing a magic routine. Lola and Micheal were off practicing a play. and FINALLY the day of the talent show arrived.

Zoey, Chase and Nicoles act turned into a comedy show thanks to Chase totally messing up, Nicole screaming and rambaling and Zoey freaking out.

The play was pretty good except for Lola practically took over the entire thing. Oh and then she had to improvise because Micheal left during the play because she was being a SUPER drama queen, whats new.

"Next up is Logan Reese..." Girls started screaming and yelling 'i love you logan' and he walked onto the stage waving and blowing kisses. one girl even threw her bra. too bad it was like a AAA -A or something small like that. "And Dana Cruz". Guys started screaming and Whistleing as she walked onto the stage and stood next to Logan.

"Why did you make me wear this again?" Dana whispered to him with a smile on her face trying to make it seem like they were discussing the act.

"Because you look gorgeous. and yes i said gorgeous" he replied. He was wearing just normal jeans and a black dress shirt, while Dana on the other hand was wearing a flowy black mini skirt and a red one shoulder strap shirt with the word 'Sassy' in sparkly silver letters. Logan cued for the music to start.

**(A/N: Bold is Logan, Italics is Dana and Underlined is them both)**

**I Never knew I could feel like this**

**You were never the one I thought I would fall for.**

**Yet still I sit here and pour my feelings out.**

**we were sitting by the fire **

**one evening on the beach**

**just staring at the stars**

**I leant over and kissed your cheek**

**And then there was two**

**me and you**

_You were never my type_

_But when I go to sleep I always see you_

_When I see you with someone else_

_I cry, ooooo I cry._

_we were sitting by the fire_

_one evening on the beach _

_just staring at the stars_

_You leant over and kissed my cheek_

And then there was two

Me and You

_**You Drive me Crazy**_

_**With your smile**_

_**With you eyes**_

_**They way you look at me makes me fall**_

_**Im in a Daze**_

_**I need to be saved**_

_**I need to Breathe**_

_**I cant let you know.**_

_**no no I cant let you know**_

**we were sitting by the fire **_(ooo yeah)_

**one evening on the beach **_(the beach)_

_**just staring at the stars**_

**I leant over and kissed you on your cheek **_(you kissed me, yeh you kissed me)_

**And then there was two **_(ooo oo just two)_

_**Me and You**_

They finished the song and the music faded. It was silent. then all of the sudden everyone stood up and clapped. Logan grabbed Dana's hand and they both bowed and walked off stage.

"We did it !!" Dana yelled still having the rush.

"Yeah we did" Logan said calmly

"Why arent you happy?" Dana asked

"I am, its just.. nevermind" Logan said and started to talk away. Dana ran after him but he just ran faster. They ended up at the beach it was dark so all you could see were the stars and the full moon. Logan stopped running and walked over to a small fire and sat down. Dana ran over to him and plopped down beside him.

"Want a marshmellow?" Logan asked handing her a stick with a marshmellow on the end. Dana smiled a big smile. Logan seeing this put on a smile just as big. They sat there just laughing and eating marshmellows.

"Isnt it beautiful?" Dana asked referring to the stars

"Yes yes i am" Logan said jokingly. Dana looked at him and rolled her eyes and then looked back at the stars

"I was joking. Plus theres only ONE thing thats more beautiful than me"

"Yeah and whats that? you mirror?" Dana asked not looking at him.

"No. You" He whispered shyly. Dana looked right at him in the eyes. He leant over and did a very un-logan thing. he kissed her on the cheek.

" uh.. i.." Dana was speechless. She really did like him. "do you.. Logan Reese.. actually like me?" she asked

"No" he said straight out. Logan lifted Dana's chin so he could look in Dana's eyes. "That would be the biggest underestimate of the year" Dana smiled. "I Logan Reese, the magnificent Logan Reese does not like you.. I love you. and Dana. I may be a jerk, but i would never tell anyone I loved them unless i meant it."

"I love you too" Dana looked straight in him eyes and sang.

"we were sitting by the fire

one evening on the beach

just staring at the stars

you leant over and kissed my cheek

and then there was two"

"me and you" they finished together. sealing it with a promise. A promise to be together forever. A promise in the form of a kiss.

****

7 MINUTES IN HEAVEN...

Logans pov:_God I cant stop thinking of her and that stupid guy. Wait..what am I thinking I dont care. I have a girlfriend! She's no Dana but she has the looks to get Dana jealous._ I thought while I was laying down in the sand on the beach. All I could think about was Dana. Until someone came up beside me and sat down.

"Who told you to... Dana?" I said suprised.

"Yep the one and only." She said. She sounded a little sad.

"Whats wrong?" I asked.

"Oh Its nothing." She said trying to play it off.

"Yeah ok." I said sarcastically.

"Im fine." She said playing with the sand.

"Dana I know you way better than that. Somethings wrong, tell me." I said putting a hand on her shoulder.

"I would tell you but I can't." Dana said.

"Come on you can tell me anything babe." I said again. If that jackass hurt her gonna kill him!

I thought while I was laying down in the sand on the beach. All I could think about was Dana. Until someone came up beside me and sat down.

**I'm sleeping my way out of this one
With anyone who will lie down
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down**

Danas pov:

God I love it when he calls me babe...WHAT!?! Get a grip Dana you are so not falling for Logan 'Heartbreaker' Reese. I think that I might be... I thought.

"Uh earth to Dana." Logan said waving a hand infront of my face.

"Stop doing that you retard." I said. Logan shrugged and layed back on the sand looking up at me.

"Are you gonna tell me or not?" He asked. _Yeah like im gonna tell you that I love you and that I broke up with the guy I knew loved me for you._ I thought.

"Nope." I said smirking.

"Fine whatever. So hows Greg?" God he just had to bring him up.

"Um I dont know. We just broke up." I said.

"YES...I mean, oh so thats why your sad." Logan said. I looked at him like he was crazy.

"So hows Britney?" I asked him.

**I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type**

**Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own**

Logans pov.

"Um shes ok." I said.

"Thats good." Dana said sounding disappointed.

"Uh why did you sound so disappointed?" I asked smirking.

"Im not disappointed!" Dana said a little to fast.

"Yeah you are. Are you jealous?" I asked knowing she would get mad at that. Shes so sexy when shes mad.

"JEALOUS! Me jealous? You must need to get you hearing checked." She said getting pissed. I sware if we were in a cartoon she would have he head blow off!

"Jeese chill down girl." I said sitting up and facing her.

**The only thing worse than not knowing**
**Is you thinking that I don't know
I'm having another episode
I just need a stronger dose**

Dana's pov:

"Im sorry im just as you would say perminatly PMSing." I said laughing a little. Logan laughed and looked up at me.

"Whats wrong with you?" I asked.

"Remember how I told you everything with Brit was fine? Well it isnt going to well, I think im gonna break up with her." He said.

"Really?" I asked shocked."But things were going so great with you two."_What am I saying I want you guys to break up._

"Why do you want us to break up?" Logan asked me. _Oops._

**I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
**Logans pov:

"Did I just say that out loud?" Dana asked blushing.

"Yeah you kinda did." I said while she blushed even harder.

"Um...Yeah I think im gonna go now." Dana said getting up and walking back towards her dorm.

"Dana wait!" I called after her but she didnt listen.

**Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own**

Danas pov:

_Stupid, Stupid_ I thought to myself while walking away from the beach. The next thing I knew I was being turned around by none other than Logan__

"What!" I yelled.

"Why did you want me to break up with Britney?" He asked.

"Because..." I started but faded away.

"Tell me the truth too, because you know I can read you like a book." Logan said looking down into my eyes. If you could read me like a book then you would have figure it out already. I thought again.

"IloveyouLogan." I said so fast not even NASA could decipher it.

"You Love me?" Logan asked.

"How did you know what I was.." I was cut off by Logans lips crashing into mine. A couple minutes later he pulled back.

"Because like I said I can read you like a book." He said smirking.

"Your such a dork." I said and playfuly pushing him.

"And the reason I was gonna break up with Brit was because I love you more." He said.

"Are you for cereal?" I asked.

"Yeah and can you please not take in South Park language." Logan said. I laughed.

"Sure." I said walking away.

"Hey I just have one more question for you." He called after me.

"What?" I said.

"You gonna be my girl or not?" He asked me smirking.

"Yep." Then I ran inside because it started to rain. I got up to my dorm and jumped in bed to dream about no other then Logan 'My Love' Reese.

**I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type**

**Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own...**

	2. grand theft autumn

GRAND THEFT AUTUMN

"Zoey?" Chase asked out side of the girls bathroom.

"Yeah Chase?" Zoey said. Chase could tell she had been crying.

"Can I come in?" He asked sweetly.

"Yeah I dont care." She said. Chase walked in and sat down next to a crying Zoey on the floor. He put a comforting arm around her.

"What happend Zo?" He asked.

"Josh cheated on me." Zoey cried out.

"What? Zo how do you know?" Chase asked trying to play off that he knew the whole time.

"I saw him and that girl Vilma making out in the gym." She said leaning into Chase.

"Oh Zo im so sorry." He said trying to sound sorry of her even though he was as happy as anyone person could be.

"Wait did you know about this?" Zoey asked standing up.

"What? No!" Chase lied.

"Chase you suck at lying and you did know about this! I cant believe you." Zoey said lettign a few more tears fall free down her cheeks.

"Zo im.." Chase said before Zoey stormed out. "So sorry."Chase walked back to his room to see Logan and Dana playing Kingdom Hearts(best game ever!) with Michale laying on the couch watching.

"Hey Chase whats up?" Michale said not taking his eyes off the tv.

"I hate my life." He said sitting on his bottom bunk.

"I hate your life too." Logan said trying to beat Dana's high score.

"Shut up you dork." Dana said.

"Hey I thought that when we started to go out we were gonna stop the name calling thing!" Logan said.

"Yeah well old habits are hard to break." She said smirking. "So whats wrong?"

"You know that guy Zoey was dating right?" He said.

"Dont you mean _is_ dating?" Logan said.

"No she broke up with him." Chase said.

"Why?" Dana asked.

"He was cheating on her." Chase said.

"WHAT!" Dana yelled standing up.

"Yep." He said. Dana got up and walked out of the room.

"Wheres she going?" Michale asked.

"I think she is gonna try to kill him. Be right back." Logan said running out of the room.

"So why did this suck for you?" Michale asked.

"I kinda knew about it." Chase said putting his face in his hands.

"And you didnt tell her? That sucks." He said." What are you gonna do?"

"I think im gonna tell her im sorry tonight at Sushi Roxz open-mic night." Chase said going over to the desk and writing like a mad man.

"What are you doing?" Michale asked.

"Go make sure Zoeys there and youll find out then. GO!" Chase yelled. Michale left to go find her...

"I dont want to go!" Zoey said trying to get away from Dana and Logans grip.

"Sorry Zo but its the doctors orders." Dana said.

"What doctor?" Logan asked confused.

"You are so lucky your hot." Dana said. They led Zoey into the front of the crowd and sat her down in the front seat. She sat there and crossed her arms over her chest. Kazu got on stage and took the mic.

"Hello Everyone. Welcome to open mic night, our first act is Chase Matthews singing an original song for Zoey Brooks." Kazu said.Chase got up to the mic with his bass guitar in hand ushering up Logan and Michale. Logan went up and took his guitar in his hands while Michale went to the drums. Chase started to sing:

Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.
When I wake up, I'm willing to take my chances on the hope I forget
that you hate him more than you notice I wrote this for you (for you, so...)

You need him. I could be him...
I could be an accident but I'm still trying.
That's more than I can say for him.

Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.

Someday I'll appreciate in value, get off my ass and call you... but for the meantime I'll sport my
brand new fashion of waking up with pants on at 4:00 in the afternoon.

You need him. I could be him...
I could be an accident but I'm still trying.
That's more than I can say for him.

1-2-3-4!

Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.

(won't find out) he won't find out
(won't find out) he won't find out

Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.

Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman. (he won't find out)
Maybe he won't find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.

Zoey ran onstage and jumped into Chases arms. She kissed him while the crowed cheered and they heard a couple of people yelled out finally. Zoey pulled away and looked at him with a smile.

"I love you too Chase." Zoey said with tears in her eyes.

"Im sorry I didnt tell you." Chase said.

"Your only forgivin if you go out with me." She said smirking.

"I would love to!" Chase said then they kissed again and they lived happily ever after.

Obvious

_**Obvious**_

_We started as fiends but something happened inside me. Now I'm reading into everything there's no sign you even like me baby. You don't even notice me turning on my charm or wonder why I'm always where you are._

Chase sighed he was in love with Zoey Brooks. He was one of her best friends but after spending the whole summer in Hawaii just the two of them things changed. He wondered if she loved him. She didn't act any differently when they got back to the states. He had started hanging out with her more than normal and would smile at her all the time.

Zoey was sitting with Quinn and Lola. Zoey had just told them for the hundredth time in five minutes that Chase was just her friend. Lola said "Zoey if he doesn't love you why was he in our dorm this morning watching you sleep? Sometimes when a guy does these things he's trying to tell you something."

Zoey said "Chase has been watching me sleep? That is just too creepy I need to draw the line there. I wonder why he would do something like that."

Lola argued "hasn't it been obvious Zoe? He loves you and can't bring himself to say it. That's why he watches you sleep. That's why he follows you around. Any dumb person could figure that out. You haven't so he thinks you don't love him back.

_I've made it obvious I've done everything but say it. I'm not so good with words but since you never noticed the way that we belong I'll say it in a love song. I heard you talk about how you want someone just like me. You don't even notice me now when we're alone. Or wonder why I keep you on the phone._

Chase had heard Zoey playing confess or stress with Quinn. Zoey rolled even numbers and Quinn asked her "if you could date the perfect guy what would he be like?"

Zoey thought for a minute and said "he would be funny, clumsy, protective, loving, and just plain decent. He has to respect the lines I draw and not push further. I think I would do more than date him. I think if there was a guy like that I would have to make him my boyfriend."

Quinn said "Zoey you just described Chase. I think you love him you can't deny it forever. I know this now it doesn't matter how much two people love each other. If they hide it from each other it won't last long. If Chase tries to talk to you tonight I don't care how late it is go. Once you're out there start a conversation about his perfect girlfriend and see who he describes."

Chase called Zoey at three in the morning. She answered the phone but she was too tired to talk. She wanted to go to sleep but Chase was keeping her on the phone. She didn't wonder or care why he wouldn't let her go to bed. Zoey got off the phone but before she could go to bed Chase climbed in her window. He had been hoping to watch her while she slept.

Zoey ignored him and climbed into bed. She didn't even flash him a smile like she usually did when they were alone. Chase wasn't great with words when it came to talking to cute girls. Zoey wasn't picking up on the cues that he was showing. He finally decided that enough was enough. He left the room and came back with his guitar. He had found the sheet music for Zoey's favorite song.

He softly sang the chorus "**Our song is the slamming screen door sneaking out late tapping on your window. When we're on the phone and we talk real slow because it's late and your mama don't know. Our song is the way you laugh the date I didn't kiss her and I should have. When I got home Lord I said amen asking god to please play it again."**

Chase started to ask Zoey whether she had gotten the message. Then he realized that she'd fallen asleep. He sat down in a chair that he pulled close to the bed and watched her sleep until sunrise.

Later the next morning Zoey said "Chase I want you to stop sneaking into my room at night. It scares me. If you have something to tell me just say it. I can't have another night like last night."

Chase said "I already said it in a love song. I love you so much that you are all I think about."

_I've made it obvious so finally I'll say it. On and on you get me wrong I'm not so good with words. Since you've never noticed the way that we belong I'll say it in a love song._

Zoey said "Chase I didn't hear you. I'm done talking unless you are honest with me."

Chase said "Zoe you're getting it all wrong. I love you I sang your favorite song last night. I have been watching you sleep hoping that you would realize that I love you. When you didn't I knew that I needed to tell you as soon as possible. So I want apologize to you for keeping this a secret. I love you and I hope you can love me to. I guess I'll just talk to you tomorrow."

Zoey said "Chase don't leave I love you to. I just didn't see that you were in love with me. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I was confused and didn't know what to think when you first told me that you loved me. I now know that you are a person who I could spend the rest of my life with.

* * *

><p>"Zoey, hurry up!" Lola yelled, her and Quinn standing in the doorway.<p>

"Hold your horses," I retorted.

I quickly grabbed various fashion magazines and followed Lola and Quinn out of her room. When we reached the lounge, we found a crowd of girls around the doorway. Some of the girls carried make-up kits; other girls carried DVDs, CDs, and sleeping bags.

"What's happening?" I asked to no one in particular. "Is there a fight?"

"Nope," a girl turned around and told me. "Coco and Carl. We can't use the lounge for a girls' night with them in there."

Why can't we be in the same room with Coco and Carl? Out of curiosity, I pushed my way past all of the girls. When I got to the front of the room and had a clear view of the lounge, I saw Coco and Carl sitting on the sofa, both leaning in for a kiss.

"Ew!" Lola said, having followed me and holding her stomach tightly. "Don't make me puke."

I walked up to Coco and Carl and cleared my throat. Coco and Carl immediately jumped up and nervously looked at me.

"Oh, hi Zoey," Coco replied. "Well, you see ... I let Carl ... well ... stay the night here. He was so tired from carrying me all the way here from Sushi Rox last night."

"That's nice of you, Coco," I replied and turned to her boyfriend. "Here's a message for you, Carl. I'm sick and tired of Coco moaning and complaining about you every time you break up with her. I have my own problems to deal with, you know? If you decide to break up with her one more time, then you have another thing coming."

I left before a stunned Coco and Carl could respond.

When I got to the doorway, I told the girls, "Time for a rain check. Let's do our girls' night another night."

The girls who had assembled around the door groaned and started walking off in all directions. Once the doorway wasn't so crowded, I followed Quinn and Lola into the hallway, where they pulled me to a stop.

"You could've been more polite with Coco and Carl," Quinn told me.

"Did you really have to threaten Carl?" Lola questioned me.

"Do you wanna be stuck with Coco's Carl drama forever and ever?" I retorted.

"You got a point," Lola agreed, and Quinn nodded in agreement as well.

Drive There Now: The Lost Chapter

This is what happened between Logan and Dana in my fic Drive There Now.

Logan's P.O.V

Soon our shirts werent the only thing in the pile of disgarded clothes. I flipped us over so that I was on top of Dana. Our lips never left each others. I moved Dana up so she was on the pillows at the top of the bed. If this was going to happen I wanted to make sure she was comfortable. My hand ran down to the bottom of her black lace bra and I slid my thumbs under the material. I reached behind her and unclasped it with one hand. I kissed her neck and bit her hard enough to leave another mark.

Tonight she is mine, not Kevins. She took her ring off for me. Her bra ended up hooking onto the side of the night table. I started to kiss her down her chest. I hit one spot and she giggled but quickly shut her mouth. I smirked kissing that spot, when that didnt work I started to bite down lightly.

"Logan..." She trailed off, moaning. My left hand went to her right brest, rubbing it roughly. I heard her gasp. She arched her back. She quickly turned us back over and straddled my waist. She started to kiss my neck. She slowly moved up to my earlobe. Dana bit down hard and kissed slightly under it.

"Dana..fuck...not there..." I begged. My spot. She was the only girlfriend I ever had to find it. She smiled against the spot and bit it, I think it was hard enough to draw blood. "Vampire..."

I heard her laugh slightly as I said that. I moved my hands up to her brests and started to play with them. She moved my hands away from them and she slowly moved down to straddle my thighs, She kissed my well toned chest and her hands moved down to my jeans. She started to undo my pants. She undid the button and slowly, and when I say that I mean _torturously slow_, then started to pull them down.

"Dana." I groaned. As soon as I said that they were on the floor. She hooked her index fingers under the waist band of my boxers and slowly slid them down my legs. As I kicked them off I noticed that something was wrong. I sat up and Dana looked at me confused. "This isnt fair."

Before she could say anything I pushed her back so I was on top again. Her head was hanging off the edge of the bed so I pulled her by her belt loops farther on the bed. I sunk my teeth into her neck as I undid her jeans, slowly sliding them off her for pay back. She moved her hands down on top of mine sliding them down faster then I did. I wasnt to sure where these pants landed but I didnt care at all. She had on matching panties on. I kissed her down between her chest as her hands roamed through my hair. My teeth hooked into her underwear and I pulled them down slightly with my teeth. I used my hands the rest of the time. I took them off and Dana moved me under her again.

She kissed me and she slowly moved down onto me. Her hands were on my chest, her nails were digging into my chest. My hands moved onto her hips, helping her get down. By the look on her face I was bigger then Kevin, she had her lip in her mouth biting down on it. When she couldnt take any more she started to move up and down on me. She threw her head back in pleasure and I started to moan out her name.

She was rocking back and forth moaning out random things. I got tired of her doing all the work so I flipped us over again, she groaned. I pinned her to the bed by her arms. I started to move in and out slowly. After she got used to the pase I started to go harder and faster. She was moaning my name which made me go so much harder and faster. It turned me on, knowing that she was almost yelling my name, not _Kevin's_. I sunk my teeth into her neck which made her squeal.

"Logan, God...Faster!" She yelled, breathless. I was more then happy to. Her legs wrapped around my waist tightly. I was so close, and by the way she was breathing and screaming I was pretty sure she was getting there too. I have had sex in some of these rooms and even if the person screamed no one really seemed to notice anything. Plus it was dinner time so not a lot of people should be in the dorms. I felt her walls contracting around me and her legs tighten. She pulled me deep into her. She screamed out my name as she came. I pumped into her a couple more times before I came when she was calming down.

"Dana!" I panted. I collapsed next to her. I pulled out of her and I leaned up and to a pillow from the top of the bed. Dana lays her head on my chest when I lay back down, I moved my arm around her waist and put my hand over the one that was on my chest. She was still calming down from her climax. We layed there in silence. Sweat dripping off of our bodies. I looked down to the beautiful girl laying in my arms, where she _belongs_. She was slowly drifting off to sleep. I should go lock the door but that would involve getting up but I couldnt do that, I was to happy. The light was on to, Dana's body was closest to the door where the light on the side table was but I didnt want to bother her.

"I love you Logan..." She said as she drifted off to a peacefull sleep. I closed my eyes, Finally she tells me this. I knew by the way she kept kissing me back that she loved me but it felt great just hearing her admiting it. I stayed up as long as I could but after that I dont even think a god could have stayed up. I moved slightly to get the extra blanked from the floor that I had disgarded earlier that day and covered us up.

"I love you too, Dana." I whispered kissing her hair. I drifted into one of the best sleeps of my life...

All for you Tammy-Kins, make sure you review and tell me what you think xD

Drive There Now: The Lost Chapter by FOBsession-DL-Freak


1. Chapter 1: The First Monday Back

My World

Chapter 1: Monday

(Zoey's POV)

My name is Zoey Brooks, I'm in my fourth year at PCA and it's my first day of lessons after the summer holidays, I really enjoyed my holiday, I spent it with my best friend and new boyfriend Chase.

"Zoey! Wake up!" I heard Lola shout. I dragged myself out of my single bed and made my way to the toilet. Lola and Quinn both had Maths first and I had science with Chase. After I washed my face and cleaned my teeth I got dressed and picked up my bag.

"See ya later Zo" Lola told me as she and Quinn left the room to go to their class. I followed them out after getting the keys for my pink Jet X and locked the door after myself. I left my Hall and hopped onto my Jet X and made my way to class.

"Hey you" Chase said the minute he saw me. "Hey you" I said back as he kissed me on the cheek.

""Hi Zoey" said a familiar voice, I turned around and saw my ex boyfriend James Garrett looking at me "Oh, hi James" that was all I managed to say to him "How are you?" he asked me. I was just about to think of an answer when Chase turned around and said; "Oh hey, Zoey this is my new roommate James Garrett". I was didn't know what to say then James answered back; "We already know each other, we went out with each other last year".

	2. Chapter 2: A Few Surprises

As I took my seat next to Chase, I avoided eye-contact with him because I just knew he wanted to know everything that had happened with me and James. Over our vacation together, I literally forgot about him, so I hadn't mentioned anything to Chase, just like he didn't really tell me anything about how his life went at Covington. Mr Charleton, a new science teacher starting this year, was standing at the front of the science lab and we all fell silent as he began introducing himself. Throughout the lesson I looked at Chase and he smiled at me everytime, but I also couldn't help looking at James. I felt a little guilty just leaving him to get (officially) together with Chase, especially after he went to so much trouble buying me a necklace and having "I love you, James" specially embroded on to it. But that is what made me realise how much I missed and loved Chase and that he was coming back so that we could be together. I made it through the entire lesson without Chase asking me any questions about my relationship with James. But I couldn't shake the thought of Chase asking James, seen as they are roommates and god knows what James would say. Chase and I had to go our seperate ways when the bell went, as we both had two different lessons next. As I made my way to English, I realised James was in this class. Despite sitting on the same table, I avoided communication with him and made it to break time. As the bell rung after 50 minutes of silence, I was one of the first out of the classroom and headed straight to my pink Jet X, who was waiting for me outside the English Department and made my way to Room 101, little did I know a huge surprise was waiting for me there.

I parked my Jet-X in the Danver Girls Hall's bike and scooter shed. As I made my way up the stairs and turned in the direction of Room 101 I saw Lola sitting on her hands and knees crying in front of the closed door. "Lola are you okay?" I said running towards her. I could barely make out what she was trying to tell me only "Vince...her" as I lifted her off the floor she was crying into my ear as I turned the key. I opened the door only to find our room had been turned over corner to corner. "What the fuck happened in here! Has someone broke in our room?" I shouted as Lola threw herself onto my mattress which was no longer on my bed. "It was Quinn! I had never seen her so angry!" Lola shouted throughout her sobbing. Why on earth would Quinn do somthing like this? Of all the years I've known her, I couldn't think of a reason why. I asked Lola and she said; "She had another arguement with Logan, and I think that one has actually ended their relationship for good!" I was confused, Logan and Quinn looked like the happiest couple in the world at the end-of-year dance in July (next to me and Chase of course) but I was aware that they have been arguing lately, but never the reason. "Is this why your crying?" I said to Lola, who was now sobbing into a fluffy sea-blue coloured pillow. "No, I'm crying because...because I walked in on Vince and he was...he was having sex with Monica Baker!" I quickly rushed over to her and embraced her into a hug. "I'm so sorry Lola, I know you really thought he had changed". At first I didn't believe Lola when she came to our room last year and said she had started dating Vince Blake after he joined her yoga class, but over time I started believing he had, and so did everyone else. I guess we were all fooled. The only person who I seem to think didn't believe Vince was Michael, even though he was dating Lisa Perkins at the time, he seemed to be showing alot of care and protection towards Lola. I've been seeing connections between the both of them since Lola started at PCA a year after I did, she and Michael appear to have alot in common. But most people believe that is what makes them good friends, but I think it's something more.

Whilst I was reasurring Lola, Stacy knocked on the door of our dorm. Now lisp free, from her minor accident at the end-of-year dance in which she was knocked down by Michael's car she said; "Hey guys, Coco wants to see you in lounge". Lola cleaned herself up while I assured Stacy that the state of our room was nothing for her to worry about and then we made our way downstairs and approached Coco, who was eating a bowl of salad (as usual) and was talking to-oh my god! Non-other than my best friend in the entire world Nicole Bristow! She screamed, I screamed we ran into a hug as we now do everytime we meet up. Don't get me wrong, I am close with Lola and Quinn, but Nicole and I have been best friends since the first day we both arrived at PCA. I was devistated when she told me couldn't come to PCA last year because her mom was concerned about her suffering from Obsessive Male Gender Disorder and sent her to an all-girls school in Malibu. That was too far away for me, but we somehow managed to stay as close as we did by phone calls, e-mails and any other form of communication we could, it was difficult some times with her being in Malibu and me here in Los Angeles but our friendship was strong enough to handle it.

"Okay, I've got some good news and some bad news" Coco said shovelling her spoon deeper and deeper into her bowl of salad, "The good news is Nicole is moving back in with you two". I was over the moon until a sudden thought came to my mind; "Wait, what about Quinn?" I asked worridly,
I hadn't seen her since we departed Room 101 for morning classes and Lola was so distracted with her grieving over Vince, she hadn't seen Quinn since her violent rant when she took her anger out on our room. "Quinn's left PCA, she broke up with Logan Reese and was so angry and upset she completly destroyed your room, packed her stuff and went to tell Dean Rivers she wants to leave right now". Lola and I were shocked, not about the break up, we kind of guessed that was coming weeks ago, but not that it would take so much emotion from Quinn that she would want to leave without saying a word. Nicole knew that Logan and Quinn were dating, and arguing, due to me keeping her updated with what was happening in our gang. "Yes, well my job hear is done, I'll see you guys later" Coco said in a miserable and emotionless tone as she shovelled more of her salad in her mouth and walked away leaving us standing in middle of the lounge with three very different expressions on our faces.

The three of us headed back to Room 101, Lola and I were putting the room back together (luckily Quinn didn't break anything of ours during her rage) whilst Nicole set up her bed on the bottom bunk and pulled her stuff out of her suitcase. The bell went, signalling the end of break when we just finished finalising our room and we all departed our seperate ways to our third lesson of the day.

At lunch time, I was starving and went straight to the cafeteria to put together my tray of selections for my lunch, headed outside to the benches and made my way towards the one particular bench our gang had claimed for ourselves, it was the one out of the way of everyone else and had a beautiful view looking over the atlantic ocean that surrounded us. Chase had saved me a seat next to him and to my surprise everyone was already here. Including James. I once again avoided eye contact with him as I placed my tray down on the table and took my seat in between Chase and Nicole. I looked around the table at my friends, Lola and Michael were sitting quite close and she looked happy, maybe she had told Michael about Vince and he was probably straight there for her (as I predicted). I took a quick glance at James, who looking up and smiling repeatedly in my direction, I started to panic until I realised it wasn't me he was doing it to, it was Nicole! I was completly taken by surprise, when I was distracted by Logan, who looked pleased with himself, even though he had only broke up with Quinn a few hours earlier said; "Okay, now everyone is here, I just want to let you in on something," We were all listening intently. "As you all probably know, Quinn and I have broke up" He hesitated before carrying on, "The truth is, she wasn't happy with my so-called attitude" Logan put his fingers up doing the quote sign as he said this. "But the real reason she got angry was because...it was because I have started going out with Dana Cruz" We were all stunned, except for James, who doesn't know who Dana is. Lola however, has only seen a photo of her, but has never met her in person. Nicole and Dana did not get along at all when she was our roomate in our first year, and I haven't really spoken to her since she told me she wasn't going to be back for our second year here at PCA. We were all mostly stunned because Logan and Dana couldn't stand each other when she was here. They were too much alike, miserable, arrogant, didn't really care much for everyone else's feelings but their own and just plain fed up with life. "You guys just don't really understand, she's changed and since we started e-mailing each other after she said she wanted to get back in touch with all us here at PCA, we kinda connected you know?" I felt like going "aww" at those last words, because it seems to me that Logan and Dana had both grown up during the two years she has been away and now they know each other again, it's like true love has gotten a hold of them and made them realise the love that was hidden in both of them since the begining and it is sweet because none of us saw that connection either.

"And you'll never guess what, she is speaking to her parents about leaving the European Exchange Program and tranfering back PCA" Logan said with an excited look on his face. By the way he said this, he made it sound like he and Dana had began a relationship while he was with Quinn,
and I know she had strong feelings for him and I think he did too until Dana came back into his life. Quinn had every right to get angry because she thought Logan was past his "being a player days" and Quinn never liked Dana whilst she was here and if she knew Dana was coming back to PCA she wouldn't want to be here. I mean lets admit it, who would want stay somewhere where the boy they thought loved them will be with his new girlfriend, who he left you for.

Good god, that's most likely how James feels right now, he loved me but I just threw it back in his face and ran into Chase's arms, which had been open, waiting patiently, for me for over three years. What kind of monster am I?

	3. Chapter 3: My Feelings in Question

The bell rung at 3:30, the end of the day was finally here. The gang was going to our favorite beach straight after school, it was the one we all accidently got stranded on at the end of our first year together at PCA because the taxi driver was given the wrong address, but never mind we all had a great time in the end. We introduced Lola to it in her first year and James just after we started dating. Chase and I were walking hand-in-hand along the beach whilst everyone else was minding their own business. That was when I saw it, I looked up to see Lola and Michael kissing! "Didn't you know Zo?" Chase looked at me with surprise. "When Lola told us what Vince had done, Michael was fumming and went straight to confront Vince. It got violent of course knowing what Vince is like, but Lola thought it was the sweetest thing and then they sorta confessed their feelings for each other." Chase explained and I felt so happy for my two friends, glad my theory about them having a thing going on was now proven to be true. James and Nicole were talking but I noticed whenever Nicole was distracted by Lola and Michael talking to her, James glancing over at me, I quickly looked away everytime. When Chase and I went to join the others sitting on the large rocks seperating the beach and the hill leading up to the road, Logan was running up to us, he had been on the phone to Dana. "Guys, Dana's parents said yes! She'll be coming back to PCA on Friday!" Logan was being totally out of character, jumping around in hysterics. We all laughed as he is obviously "crazy in love".

Throughout the week, Logan was getting more and more excited about Dana's upcoming return and the more time Lola spent with Michael, the more she forgot about how Vince was an asshole towards her. That was all she needed really, just a real boyfriend to love and protect her. Nicole and I were getting back to way we used to be, her year at an all-girls school has really made an impact on her, she was now easier to talk to because she doesn't get distracted so much by boys anymore.

On Thursday, I was going to see my younger brother Dustin, he had sent me a note demanding that I come to help him with a problem he had. I had no objection towards this, only that I was surprised, seen as he thinks I mother him too much, which I think is so not true. "So, there is this girl..."Dustin explained when I arrived at his very messy and un-organised "typical boys room". He said that he wanted some advice about how I gotten together with all the boys I've dated in my life so he could try some of these on this girl. "Well, Dustin you have understand that my love life isn't exactly amazing-" I was cut off by Dustin "I know but how did you actually get together with James?" I told him the truth, I wasn't gonna lie, James and I started as friends having dinner together at Sushi Rox and then the next thing you know, we've started kissing. I must admit, the day James arrived at PCA and the moment we first layed eyes on each other we did have a connection. "I suppose I could try asking her to have dinner with me, maybe after we've gotten to know each other something might happen" I nodded my head in agreement. Job well done Zoey. I praised myself for being the helpful big sister as I got up to leave. "Zoey?" Dustin said just as I opened the door, "What happened with James? One minute you were perfectly happy, the next your with Chase. I don't get it" Dustin had a point, I was hardly minutes away from breaking up with James when Chase and I had our first kiss. "I don't really know Dustin, I guess I just had a moment where I didn't really know what my heart was trying to tell me".

I was leaving Dustin's hall when my phone vibrated in my pocket as I recieved a text, from James;

Will you please come to my room? I just want to to talk - J.

I hesitated as I turned in the direction of his hall and through the corridors towards the room my boyfriend shares with his two best friends and my ex-boyfriend. I knocked on the door and let myself in. James was sitting on his bed, the bottom bunk of one the two sets of bunk beds, as this has now become a four bedroom dorm since Chase returned. He smiled at the sight of me and stood up immediatly. "Zo, I'm glad you came." He said this with small amount of excitement in his voice. "I just wanted to talk about what really happened that night at the end-of-year dance. You know when you...when you left me?"

I could feel the guilt I have been trying to avoid since I found out Chase and James were going to be roomates this year...and both in love with me. "James, I am so sorry, I never meant to hurt you. I just didn't know what to do." He looked at me as I said it, he was fiddling with something in his hand. "It's just that...when you told me you loved me, I didn't know what to do because...because Chase had already told me he loves me and I really didn't know what to do." He didn't look at me this time, just carried on fiddling with whatever was in his hand. "So, you thought the best thing was to just get with Chase?" James said this with a slight anger showing on the last three words.

"Well, all I was going to do when Chase surprised me with the news that he was back, and being his clumsy self he fell down the stairs. I only wanted see if he was okay and ask him about his feelings towards me. Trust me, I was still hurt over our split, but then he and I just kissed and then...we went to the dance together and everybody was so excited that we were finally together I just didn't have a choice. My dad then invited him to come on holiday for the summer with us and I didn't have the time to come find you, James" I explained it all quickly hoping he wouldn't get mad (the thought of me with Chase romantically did not seem to sit well with him) he just nodded, still fiddling with what's in his hand, I took a step closer to him. "Zo, when Chase kissed you, did you...did you forget all about me?" It wasn't when Chase and I kissed it was the holiday that made me forget about James and our unexpected break-up.

"No, I never forgot about us, honest" I said grabbing his hand. "You know, when I told you I loved you...did...do feel the same? You never told me because of...Chase." It was true I never did answer his question, as soon as I heard the words "I Love You" and because they weren't coming out of Chase's mouth, I was distracted by the thought of him to even consider my feelings towards James. "We had some amazing and wonderful times together James. But I think-" James stopped me, mid setntence. "Are you trying to tell me that your choosing him because you've known him longer and he's won you over with some sob story about love at first sight?" Those last words hurt, they also showed me the misunderstanding and jelously about how much James knows about mine and Chase's whole history. "Zoey, do you even know weather the feelings are mutual when it comes to him? You can't just say that you love him just because he claims to have loved you since the day he met you?" James was right. If Chase was certain about his feelings towards me, I was still left confused about my own feelings towards him and James.

James was now looking at me, his blue-green eyes looking directly into my brown ones. I really didn't know what to say next. But there was no need, James' lips were now pressed against mine. At first I refused, not saying anything just shaking my head but James wouldn't stop, eventually I gave in kissing him back. He always had a way with me, and I had missed his gentle touch and that warm feeling whenever he kissed me. He pulled me in close and I was so carried away I wrapped my arms around his neck. I couldn't believe it, Zoey Brooks is a cheater.

	4. Chapter 4: Zoey The Monster

James had carried me over to his bed, placing me underneath him as his kisses moved from my lips to around my face and then trailing down my neck. We did this when were together occasionally, but this time James was more hungry and excited for my body. But I can't do this. I begin pushing to push him off me, when a sudden pair of hands grabbed his shoulders and pulled him up. It was Chase. He must of came in whilst we were in a moment of heat together as neither of us had heard the door open. Fists were flying, one into James' face and one returned into Chase's face, I jumped up to seperate them just a they had pushed each other across the room and into the big flat screen on the wall. I pulled them apart, both of them had blood on their faces and were so angry.

"I'm sorry Chase" I say before running out of their room full speed. I just couldn't stand what I have done, I've cheated and caused a fight between two people I've loved at least once in my life. I just need to get away, clear my head and decide what I really want want right now so I won't go to Room 101, I don't feel like facing the girls, I instead leave the PCA grounds and make my way to the closest deserted beach.

I switch my phone off as I make myself comfortable on a large flat rock and look at the sunset behind the endless sea. I think about Chase and James, how I could believe that one of them is the right one for me. What if it is none of them? I remember all good times I have had with Chase over the past three years and how he had fallen more and more in love with me during each event. How could I have been so blind? All the clumseness around me, the jelousy over a new relationship I gain including when I dated Dean Rivers' son and the boy I went with the dance with in my first year, even when I was casted to play Logan's love interest in a play once. I never once believed anyone (close friend or even a relative) when they tried to convince me that Chase likes me more than a best friend, maybe if I had let myself take the message in none of this would of happened and Chase and I could of gotten together a long time ago, and all this shit with James would never have started. I began to think about James, and about the three months we had together. There was our first kiss, the dinner we attempted to have at a really posh and expensive resturant, which we were later forced to finish on the volley ball court thanks to our friends, and all our private kissing sessions that no one else had the right to know about. And finally, it was when James told me he loved me and gave me that necklace.

I sighed putting my hands in my pockets deep in thought, until I felt something in my left pocket. It was the necklace, this was what James was fiddling with while we were talking. He must have slipped it in there before Chase walked in, probably thinking that now we were kissing again, that we were back together. I didn't put it on, just kept it in my hand while the sun was going down. I was way past curfew now, but I don't care. I need more time for myself.

I woke up to find that I spent the entire night on that rock. I figured Nicole would probably have noticed I hadn't came back all night and could be panicing by now so I made my way back to PCA, thinking of ways to avoid both Chase and James. When I returned to Danver Girls Hall an hour later, I saw my single bed was not there. Had they thought I had died or something? "Zoey!" Nicole shouted as I walked through the door. "Where have you been I was worried when you hadn't come back last night?" I told her I just "been around" and she took this as if I was hiding some dark secret. "Do wanna talk about something?". "Oh no, it's fine honestly" I said this calmly and as normally as I possibly could,
best friend or not, there was no way she could help me work out my feelings especially when it comes to my love life.

"We've been renovated. We are now a four person dorm-room starting today. They came about half an hour ago and took your bad apart and they are later coming back to put the new bunk bed together." Nicole explained to me, I had been so busy with my trainwreck of a love life that I had forgotten that Dana was coming back today, but I didn't know that she would be moving in with us in Room 101. My mattress, quilt, pillow and my precicous teddy that I have had since birth were on the floor in front of the wardrobe, I suppose I would have to have the top bunk when Dana gets here as I remember her literally taking Nicole's stuff off the bottom bunk of the bunk beds in the room we shared together in our first year. Even though I was someone who doesn't take shit of anyone and never alow myself to be walked all over, I've known since day one that Dana isn't one to be enemies with.

During the school day, I didn't even look at Chase or James I only spoke to Nicole and Lola and I didn't have lunch with the gang, I went straight back to the dorm, and as Nicole said the second bunk bed had been put together and was waiting for Dana and myself. At the end of the school day I was forced to be near James and Chase because Logan had dragged all of us to the main gates of the school, just to greet Dana when she arrived. I stood next to Nicole, hiding from both of their sights. After what seemed like ages a taxi finally pulled up and Dana jumped out pulling a large black suitcase behind her. Logan ran straight towards her and they stood hugging (and kissing) for like five minutes. When they let go, Dana was smiling at all of us. "Hi! I'm Dana Cruz" She said looking at Lola and James. "It's so nice to see all of you again. Including you Nicole, I know we weren't exatly friends before, but I was hoping we could change that". Nicole smiled and nodded as a reply, I didn't know exactly how this plan could work but I was way too taken back by the way Dana was acting, Logan was right she really has changed.

I was forced to spend longer time in the presence of Chase and James when we went to Sushi Rox for a few hours to catch up with Dana. I succesfully avoided speaking and was relieved when the girls and I returned to Room 101, that was of course after the happy couples that surrounded me had finished kissing-I mean snogging goodbye. I stood next to Nicole again and took a glance at James, who was standing a good space away from Chase, who was looking at me with a upset face, he must miss me since I haven't had any form of communication with him since his fight with James; who looked very unhappy himself. Surely they both must understand why I don't want to speak to them, I cheated on Chase and convinced James I wanted to get back together and then just left him. Who would want to be with a monster like me who crushes everbody's feelings? These were my thoughts when I climbed into my bed without saying a word to Nicole, Lola or Dana.

	5. Chapter 5: Confessions

I sat on my bed, still in my pyjamas as my roommates were getting ready to go out. "Are you sure you don't want to come Zoey?" Lola said to my reflection in the mirror as she straightened her shoulder-length brunette hair. I shook my head looking at floor. I had a dream that night which made me sink into such a depression I couldn't stand the thought of being near either one of them again, my thoughts on everything racing around in my head as I slept made me even more confused on the problem which has now become my life. Dana approached me looking confused. "Zoey what happened to you? When I knew you two years ago you were a completly different person and now I haven't heard you speak once since I got back here" I looked at her, it was true I used to be confident, never afraid to speak my mind and a caring and friendly person. Now I am depressed, very rarely speak, considers myself a monster who runs around breaking boys hearts and has given up on life completly. "I'm sorry Dana, I'm going through a really bad time right now" I said lifting my head up to her. Lola and Nicole joined Dana and all three of them gathered around me."Why, what's happened Zoey? We know it's you and Chase because we noticed you didn't speak to him all day yesterday" Nicole said with a serious look on her face.

As much as I didn't want to tell them I blurted out the entire story, starting with me over hearing Chase's confession to Michael and Logan and then meeting James after Chase had been forced to stay at Covington for a semester by his parents, I then explained what happened on Thursday and how I was now a confused mess, struggling to go on with life. When I had finished, they all had sympathetic looks on their faces and I knew they were struggling to come up with some advice to help me. "Maybe you should just talk to them?" Was Lola's suggestion. "Maybe you should try to ask them about being friends until you know for sure what you want?" Dana made her suggestion. "I agree with both of those Zoey,
you can't just avoid them the rest of your life". Nicole was right, but I was afraid they would just have another fight over me if I had them both in the same room together disscussing their feelings for me. They eventually convinced me to come with them on their trip to the shopping center not far from PCA, as it's the weekend we are allowed off the campus. Still depressed, I dragged myself into the taxi with them.

At around twelve, we stopped for something to eat, as Lola and Nicole were getting our sandwiches at the counter, Dana attempted to cheer me up and get my mind of my dilema. "I like the way have you have your hair now Zoey" She said to me smiling "Thank you, I like yours too" I replied with little joy in my voice. When Dana and I last seen each other, I had my natural bright blonde hair just past my shoulders and she had short brunette hair which were always in curls resting on her shoulders. Now however, Dana supported long perfectly straight hair whilst still being a natural brunette, I now had dirty blonde hair and supported matching extentions which were perfectly straight. Over the last two years I have changed my hairstyle rapidly but so far this is my favorite look, even with my bright blonde roots starting to show on the top of my head.

Lola and Nicole returned and I dug into my beef sandwich, I tried to take my mind off Chase and James as I listened to Lola and Dana get know each other a bit more. "I will be an actress one day, you can bet your life on it" Lola said with almighty confidence, she is actually an amazing actress, better than me anyday and I have total believe that she will make it one day. Dana seemed to like this; "Well I will a pro in the basketball career I am headed for. Zoey do still play basktball?" she turned to me. "Yeah, but I've never really thought of making a career out of it, Miss Harolds says she thinks I could be successful in a writing career if I kept my journalism up" I explained a little more cheerfully, I guess sociallising is improving my depression. Nicole joined in, "You know, when I was in Malibu, I discovered my passion was in my art skills, my teacher there was encouraging me to consider taking up a career in working for art galleries, he believes I have potential". I began joing in with more conversations and got to know alot more about Dana and her life in Paris until the point where I had forgotten about my troubled relationships with Chase and James. That was until I got back to PCA that afternoon.

The girls had literally dragged me to lounge where we were meeting the boys, I was refusing, knowing I had to take their advice and try to be in the same room as the pair of them. I sat next to Nicole on the purple couch with large multi-coulored spots on it, she was laughing at Michael and Logan's joke which I wasn't listening to as I could feel two sets of eyes watching me as I stared at the floor. After five minutes I couldn't take it anymore and was rushing up the stairs back to Room 101. With Chase right behind me calling my name.

"Zo, wait it's about time we talked" He said catching his breath as he shut the door behind him. "Chase, I thought you wouldn't want to know me after you saw me with James" I said as he sat down next me on the yellow couch which was placed underneath the window. "No, Zo I know you wouldn't do something like that ever "He said looking directly into my eyes "I knew he would try to get back together with you, and it wasn't the first fight I've had with him. When I asked him if he still had any feelings for you, he said yes and that's when we both started to get angry and he started a fight with me" I was shocked.

I knew Chase would try to have an honest man-to-man conversation with James about me, but I suppose James' true feelings of jelousy had got a hold of his temper and the fighting was a way of showing that James knew Chase had won my heart since the beginning. "This is what I tried to tell you Zo, after you broke that fight up, but you left so quickly because you felt so ashamed I didn't have the chance and then you didn't even look at me for two days". It was all true, I was so confused and shocked at what I had done, I never did think about anyone else's side of the story. James' was now clear to me; he was refusing to believe that I truly loved Chase and tried everything in his power to make me think otherwise. Whilst Chase's was clear from the beginning. From the moment Chase saw me step out of my dad's car he fell in love with me, oblivious to this for three whole years, I am now starting to believe maybe this was for a particular reason, weather you believe fate has anything to do with this or not, it was clear that I was never supposed to feel the same way until that moment I heard it come from Chase himself on the web-chat that had been left on by accident.

"Zoey, I understand if you don't want to get back together now, I've noticed you've looked and been acting very depressed lately. If you need space I will understand" Chase said, he looked disapointed as he said this as I know he would do anything to make sure I'm happy 24/7. Chase kissed me on the cheek as he got up to leave. I stopped him immediatly shooting myself up off the couch as if I had been struck by lightning.

"No Chase, we've been seperated way too long and I'm talking about since the day we met. I love you, Chase and I never want to be without you again" I said, my heart full of emotion as he pulled me into a romantic kiss, sweeping me off my feet. James will have face it. Chase and I were made for each other.

	6. Chapter 6: A Chat With Quinn

My depression was slowly going away as Chase and I walked hand-in-hand towards the lounge. There was a mixture of different facial expressions, most were happy but James looked angry. "What do you think your doing Chase!" He shouted so loud every head in the room turned. I was filled with embarassment as I heard a childish rant of "She loves me!, No she loves me!" then Chase and James were throwing punches and rolling around on the floor, knocking the sofa over as people were running from the room at risk of their own safety. All I could do was stand there and watch the mess I had created get worse with every hit that was thrown. Michael and Logan were attempting to get a hold of the both of them to split them up. "What is going on!" Mr. Bender and Ms. Burvich had come into the lounge, eyes glaring. Chase didn't mention anything about me, instead was just honest that he and James had a fight, James didn't mention me either, as did all the witnesses. "Well, you were still fighting even though there wasn't an excuse. We still have to take you to Dean Rivers right now" Ms. Burvich said giving evil eyes towards the pair of them. She shoohed them out and Mr. Bender looked at my distraught face before leaving with them.

Michael and Logan left to follow them to Dean Rivers' office while I sulked my way towards Room 101, behind a panicing Nicole, a shocked Lola and a confused Dana. Both of them could be facing exclusion for this, and it will be all my fault. I couldn't care less about James, but I don't know how long I could stay at PCA without Chase. Nicole opened the door and I just threw myself onto my bed, lying face down into the quilt. At eleven o'clock we had all given up hope on hearing something tonight so we got ready for bed.

I woke up on the Sunday morning to find myself alone in the dormroom. Lola, Nicole and Dana had obviously not woken me, hopping to hear that it is good news that they will have to break to me later. My depression had gotten so bad overnight, I could barely get myself out of bed, choosing not leave my room I think of things to do until the that haunting moment where I will find out what is happening to Chase. I decide to check my emails on the big computer that is shared between the four of us, there is one from my mom, wondering why I haven't spoken to her in a week, one from Dustin saying that my advice had worked and he has a new girlfriend. I reply to these two, putting on a happy tone and then I notice that there is one from Quinn, she is requesting a web-chat.

I press connect and sure enough there is Quinn's face smiling at me. "Hi Zoey" she says warmly. "I know this is weird but I think your the only one I can confide in right now" I smile lightly, how could I could give her some advice like I used to when I feel like throwing myself out of the window right now. "I suppose you want to know excatly what happened the day I left, right?" She says. "Well, I did love Logan. But I just couldn't cope with his arogant and selfish character. I guess I didn't really think about that when I got with him openly at the dance" She shrugged her shoulders. "We were also arguing because I found out about him and Dana. He left his laptop out with all his e-mails in plain sight, I was shocked when I read the one where he had asked her out. And then on Monday, when I left, it was because he told me he wanted to break-up because Dana was coming back to PCA. I was so angry I couldn't help but just throw all the room around. I'm sorry Zoey" She really did look sorry "It's okay Quinn, I'm not bothered that you trashed the room. I understand why you did it, I mean, Logan will always be Logan" I say still smiling slightly.

"I know, but I am over him now. You'll never guess what Zoey! I ran into a boy I knew before I came to PCA, we got talking and we really connected so...I guess were together now" Quinn looked so happy, and I was happy for her, although I didn't show it. "How is everything at PCA since I left?" Quinn looked like she wanted to know, but I didn't fancy the idea of telling her Dana had come back and that her and Logan were the happiest couple at school. I also couldn't bare the thought of her reaction if I told her I am depressed. I once had to help her out of a depression in our second year, but that was over her missing her pet alpaca though, whearas mine is much more dificult to overcome. "Well, Nicole came back on Monday, which I was so happy about," Quinn looked happy as well, she and Nicole were good friends for the two years they were here together. "Vince Blake cheated on Lola with a girl from the cheerleading squad, but it's all good now because Lola and Michael have gotten together" Quinn thought that was brilliant news, she never really trusted Vince either. "Erh, Dana um moved back and she is our third roommate" I said shakily, I was worried Quinn might get angry again. "Oh, well I suppose it is best that Logan and I are both happy even though we've split" Quinn looked satisfied as maybe she knew Logan would feel no emotion after leaving her for Dana.

"Are you okay Zoey? You seem very sad" Quinn looked through her computer screen with concern as I struggled to explain how my emotions are a mixture of guilt, confusement and self-hatred. Quinn listened intently and was finding it difficult to believe how long it took me to realise how much I loved Chase and how selfish James was being.

We had been talking for an hour when she told me she had to go, Quinn asked me not to tell Logan or Dana that we had talked and I said I wouldn't, we agreed to keep in touch with regular e-mails. Before disconnecting, Quinn wished me luck in coming out of my depression safely, she hoped I wouldn't try something dangerous if things got worse.

	7. Chapter 7: Not The Happiest Of Endings

I spent the rest of the day sleeping, it's all my depression wanted me to do. I woke up to a knock on the door, my body was refusing to get up, so I made myself yell; "Come in". Chase slowly walked in. Oh god, here it comes. I braced myself as he kissed my forehead and sat on my bed. I made myself sit up and come out from under the covers, I wrapped my arms around Chase and rested my head on his shoulder as I did this he just stared at the floor as he began to tell me our future.

"When we got to Dean Rivers' office, he said he had no choice but to exclude me and James because fighting is against the school rules. I'll be gone for the next semester" I was sobbing as he pulled me into a hug. I couldn't believe it, I was forced to spend an entire semester away from Chase last year due to a major twist of events, but now I don't know how I could cope this time round, especially now I know that I love Chase as much as he has always loved me. "Are you sure you can't take some other form of punishment? Like; hundreds of detentions, cleaning the grounds or-or anything other than exclution?" I cried into his shirt. "No Zo. His decision is final, there is nothing anyone can do." He said while stroking my hair, he is just as upset as me, but Chase only cries if he's in pain, it's the tone of his voice showing me how upset he is. I lifted my head off his now tear-stained shirt, I looked into his eyes and then I started to kiss him, I was in control until he pushed me down onto the bed. Our kissing became hungrier, until my hands were under his shirt feeling his stomach, his hands were smoothly going down the sides of my body, we were kissing for a while until we assisted each other remove our clothing.

It has been four weeks already, but Chase won't be back until after the christmas break. Unfortunatly, James will return too, but I think this exclusion has made him realise that he and I will never happen again, he and Chase will still be roommates as they were talked to by the PCA guidance counselor about anger and learning to get along better. My depression is improving, Chase going away had made it worse, but Nicole convinced me to see the guidance counselor weekly, which I am proud to say is a success. Chase's parents were not impressed with his behaviour and the exclusion, so he is having to work for them as his punishment, with me busy with classes and him working we just manage to talk at least twice a week, texting whenever we can and web chats whenever possible.

I miss him. I don't know how I am still going without seeing him, his crazy frow, his clumseness, his smile that appears everytime I come into his sight, I still have Nicole who's always great company for me, despite her bubbly and slightly odd character, but that's why we're best friends because I am the only one who won't leave her because of her crazy. Lola and Dana have become really close over the last month that Dana has been back, Lola and Michael are still going strong as are Logan and Dana. Quinn and I are still talking, she is happy being back home with her new boyfriend and pet alpca Otis. James is still friends with everyone, he talks to Logan and Michael often and Chase told me that he and James have somewhat settled their issues and are working towards a better future as roommates, when I spoke to James he mentioned that he just wants what is best for me, which is obviously being with Chase. He also said that he sort of fancies someone else, when he said that it was Nicole, I was so surprised. In fact, I can't believe I never noticed it sooner, from the minute Nicole came back to PCA, he couldn't stop looking at her and I thought she might have noticed it too, maybe even liking him back. Dustin is happy, I've met his new girlfriend, Mara Jane, she is nice I can see how much Dustin likes her and they seem to be really happy together. Altough I am happy for him and all my happy couple friends I surround myself with, it reminds just how much I miss Chase.

So it is a happy ending for everyone but me, I must admit in my case, it's not the happiest of endings, but I know things are going to get much better in time.

End file.

My World by baileyzoeylucymitchie1234


Would You Rather?

**A/N: This is my very first one shot. **

**Would You Rather?**

Zoey, Chase, and Nicole walked back from their Algebra 2 class slowly. It was the last class of the day and it was a Friday. So they could finally relax from a long week of studying and sitting in boring classes with boring teachers.

"Do you guys have any plans this weekend?" Nicole asked.

"I'm going to do what I normally do on weekends," Chase started.

"What's that?" Nicole asked.

"Sleep." Chase said as he almost tripped over a tree stump.

"Sounds fun. But you know what sounds like, a million times more fun? Going to the dance!" Nicole said excitedly.

"Yeah, you can go. But I don't think so," Zoey said.

"Oh, come on Zoey! Please come!" Nicole begged.

"No," Zoey said bluntly. She had argued with Nicole the previous night about the same topic.

"Why not?"

"Because this isn't just a hang out dance. It's a formal dance where you have to dress up, and have a date and stuff," Zoey argued.

Nicole rolled her eyes," What about you Chase?"

"I agree with Zoey." Chase said.

"Of course you do," Nicole started to get frustrated.

"Why do you want us to go to this dance so badly anyway?" Zoey asked.

"Because the only other person I know that is going is Alex and dances aren't fun without your friends. Everyone else is busy. You are the only two that are going to be sitting around doing nothing on Saturday night so you should really go. It would make me so happy. C'mon please!" begged.

"Well, even if I was going to go, they don't let you in without a date," Chase said, sure that he had gotten out of it.

Zoey nodded in agreement, "Yeah, right. No date. No dance."

"Then why don't the two of you go together?" Nicole suggested. Zoey and Chase looked at each other awkwardly. "I mean, you guys could go as friends. Please?"

"Oh, alright." Zoey finally agreed. "I mean, if it's ok with Chase." Zoey looked at her friend.

"Sure," Chase responded almost too quickly. "It does interrupt our usual game of Would You Rather, but I guess its ok for just one night." Chase smiled.

"Thank you, guys! Thank you, this is such a relief!" Nicole exclaimed." See you later!" With that Nicole ran off toward her dorm.

Zoey and Chase looked at each other and shrugged.

"Later," Zoey said.

"Yeah, I guess I'll see you later." Chase replied with a small wave.

They parted in separate directions.

* * *

**_-Saturday Night-_**

Zoey was getting ready in her dorm room. Chase should be at her door in a few minutes. After she was finally ready, she leaned against the wall. She couldn't sit because it would wrinkle her dress.

_Why am I so _nervous_? It's just Chase. It's not like this is a big deal or anything. We're just friends. We're friends that just happen to be going with each other to a dance. Yeah._

"You ready?" Nicole asked.

"Yep," Zoey replied.

"Me too."

Like clockwork, there was a knock on the door. Nicole opened it, "Oh, Hi Alex!"

"Hey, Nicole. Hi, Zoey. Um, Chase told me to tell Zoey that he's going to be a little late and he'd meet her at the dance." Alex asked.

"Oh. Ok," Zoey said. She watched Nicole and Alex as the three of them headed toward the dining hall where the dance was going to be. Alex had his arm around Nicole's backside. Nicole rested her head on his shoulder. She wished that she could have someone like that. Someone to hold her. It was a wish that seemed so unlikely to come true.

The dining hall was loaded with kids. It was dark with cheesy colored lights and even a large disco ball. _How in the world am I going to find Chase in this mess? _Zoey wondered as she scanned the crowd.

"Zoey! I'm over here!" she finally heard Chase cry from across the room.

"Chase? Where?" Zoey pushed past masses and masses of people.

"By the food!" Chase shouted.

"Figures," Zoey said to herself with a smile.

After getting her foot stepped three times, jabbed in the stomach, and almost tripping over her own feet she made her way to the food table where Chase stood up, a red rose in his hand.

"Hi, Zoey," Chase said his eyes locked with hers.

"Hi, Chase," Zoey waved slightly.

"How are ya?" Chase asked his eyes still glued to hers.

"Good. Is that for me?" Zoey pointed to the rose.

"Oh. Oh right," Chase placed the flower in Zoey's hand.

"Thanks," Zoey said, "You look very nice for someone who didn't even what to come here in the first place." Zoey looked at her friend. He was wearing a classic black and white tuxedo. Though she could never really imagine Chase getting dressed up in formal wear, somehow it looked very natural on him.

"Well, I could say the same thing about you," Chase said as he looked at Zoey. She was wearing red, silk, prom dress. Her hair was up in a French twist, giving her a sophisticated and beautiful look.

"So, what do you want to do? Dance?" Chase asked.

"Its way too crowded to dance," Zoey replied. The music was fast and the people were everywhere. It was almost too hard to breathe.

"I agree. Do you want to sit?" Chase pointed out an empty table in the back of the room. It was one of the only empty tables and it looked quieter and a whole lot more comfortable.

"Sure. I can't believe we agreed to do this. It's kind of boring. I'd really rather be in the girl's lounge playing a game of would you rather with you. Just us," Zoey smiled.

"Me too," Chase agreed. The couple made their way to the table. Zoey smoothed her dress out and sat in a plastic chair. Chase sat next to her.

"Well, let's play right now," Zoey shrugged.

"Ok. Would you rather...eat that guppy that Quinn put up her nose or get chased by a swarm of killer bees?"

"The guppy, I guess," Zoey wrinkled her nose at the thought. "It would be better than dying."

"Yeah, me too. I'm not a very fast runner," Chase agreed.

"I know, "Zoey laughed."Alright, would you rather eat a moldy sandwich from 1968 or wrestle with an octopus?"

"The sandwich. Fish scare me," Chase shuddered.

The game of Would You Rather continued on as usual. But it was getting late. There was only a half hour left until the end of the dance.

"Hey, where is Nicole? She's the whole reason we even agreed to do this," Zoey wondered out loud.

Chase scanned the crowd," I don't know but there's Logan and Dana."

"Logan and Dana? Weren't they busy tonight?" Zoey watched her two friends come toward them, followed by Michael, his date, Nicole, and Alex.

""Hey guys. What's up?" Michael asked.

"I thought you guys were busy," Chase looked at the group.

"We got un-busy," Dana shrugged.

Zoey and Chase looked at each other," You mean we came here for nothing?" Zoey asked.

"I guess," Nicole said. A slower song came on and as soon as they came Zoey and Chase's friends were back on the dance floor.

"Well I could have been sleeping right now," Chase said," But this was actually really fun."

"Yeah, it was," Zoey's wish still hadn't come true. She watched all the girls with their dates. In the back of her mind, she realized that deep down it wasn't just any boy she wanted to be with.

"Zoey?" Chase asked.

"Yeah?"

"One more question."

"Shoot."

"Would you rather sit here talking or dance with me?" Chase held out his hand.

"I like that question," Zoey's eyes shined as she took his hand and they started moving rhythmically to the beat of a slow song. She had her arms around his neck. His arms clung gently around her waist. Zoey let her head rest gently on his shoulder.

"I think that was one of the best games of would you rather we've ever had," Zoey whispered.

"Agreed."
