_Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...
_

"Dana!" Logan called from across the quad. "Dana, wait up. Will you sign my yearbook?" He

thrust it towards her.

Dana grabbed the pen and sat at a near table. She scribbled a long message to the boy who caused her nothing but "agony" and "stress" since she arrived at PCA. "Well, Logan, I never took you for the yearbook type."

"I'm not. I just had a good year this time and I kind of want to remember it." he said turning to see what she wrote.

"No. Don't read it until you're on the plane to Florida. And you have to sign mine." she said.

"Okay, but you can't read mine until you're on the plane to Ohio." he, too, wrote a long message in her yearbook. He turned to the first page of the yearbook. "Haha, look, the basketball game."

"Ugh... look how bad my hair looks."

"I like it."

Dana blushed a little and turned the page. "Look at the pictures from the play. That was hilarious. Zoey, Nicole and I talked about it all night."

"That was not even remotely funny. It made me look like a jerk in front of the whole school."

"Logan, you realize the whole school already knew that." she teased.

"Yeah, well... I got nothing. Just turn the page." the next page had a picture of Logan's teddy bear, the one with the web cam. "You know what? Let's skip that page."

Dana turned the page revealing a picture of the statue in women's underwear "OH! Prank week. You have to admit that, that was a pretty good prank."

"Yeah it was. But not as good as this," he turned the page which featured a picture of Drake Bell's performance. "Wanna know what I favorite memory of this year was?"

"What?" she asked.

"It's in my message to you, so I guess you'll have to wait till you're in Ohio, or at least Nevada."

"Wow, Logan knows some geography! I'm stunned."Dana said.

Zoey, Nicole, and Quinn walked past the quad and Zoey called her.

"Well, see you, Logan."she said.

"Yeah, see you next fall."

"No," Dana said sadly, "I'm not coming back next year."

Dana walked away slowly and glanced back at him when she reached Zoey, Nicole, and Quinn.

_Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby_

_Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on_

Logan sat alone in his dorm with the lights off. Everyone else was participating in last week of school escapades. But not him. Chase walked in and flipped on the light.

"Ahh" he heard come from Logan's bed.

Chase walked over and pulled the sheets off Logan's head. "What are you doing man?"

"Can't you see I'm depressed?" Logan said, only to be greeted by an "continue..." look on Chase's face. "The love of my life is leaving and never coming back."

"Come on man. It's only summer. You'll see everyone next September."

"No. Dana's staying in Ohio." Logan said, then covered his mouth and covered his head again.

"_Dana_?" Chase screamed. "You like Dana?"

"Shut up man. Why else do you think I'm such a jerk to her?"

"Well, because you're a jerk to everyone?"

"I am not a jerk. I'm just honest." Logan said realizing Chase was right. "Man, I am a jerk. But at least I'm ridiculously good-looking."

"Does she know?"

"No, but she will as soon as she reaches Nevada."

_Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby_

"You like who!" Zoey asked in complete shock at what her roommate had just said.

"Yeah. I do. I like Logan Reese. Gosh! What is wrong with me? I can't like Logan. He's... Logan!" Dana said.

"Well, have you told him?" Nicole asked.

"No. But he's gonna know... just as soon as he leaves for Florida." Dana said, smiling slightly to herself. "I hope he doesn't forget me."

"Why would he forget you... you'll see him in the fall." Nicole said.

"No, I'm staying in Ohio."

_Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me_

It was time for dinner and Logan decided to tell Dana how he felt. He walked over to the girls' table and asked if he could "borrow" Dana for a minute.

"Dana, there's something I have to tell you." Logan said.

"There's something I have to tell you too."

"Really? You go first."

"No you. You called me over." she said. She didn't want him to know how nervous she was.

"Students. Student. I have an announcement to make." Dean Rivers interrupted their confessions. Logan cursed him in his mind. "Since this is the last week of classes, male students are allowed in the girls' dorms until midnight. But the staff wants you to use your best judgment and not do anything you will regret. Thank you. You may recommence eating."

"Why don't you come over later?" Dana said. "Bring Chase, Zoey's gonna profess her love for him. Can you believe how oblivious they are?"

"Yeah, I know. Chase totally likes her too. She's basically all he talks about."

"Same with Zoey." Dana said. "So... umm are you coming over tonight? So we can talk?"

"Yeah. Of course." Logan said.

"Okay great." Dana said turning away to go back to her table. "Bring Michael too... so Nicole can have someone to talk to."

_Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down_

"Do you think they'll come. Even with the storm?" Dana asked nervously.

"Of course they will, Dane, just relax." Zoey said and there was a knock at the door "Told you."

"Zoe, what am I supposed to do while you guys are having a love-fest?" Nicole asked pleadingly.

"Talk to Mike. Maybe you guys will hit it off and you can have your own love-fest."

"Eww! With Michael!"

The knock was repeated and Nicole opened the door, then scrambled back to her bed. She didn't know it, but Michael _did _have a crush on her.

_Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down_

"Well, Logan, you look... different." seeing the corners of Logan's mouth turn down, Dana said "But in a good way."

"So... uhh... back to what I was gonna tell you at dinner." Logan said.

"Anyone want a drink or anything." Nicole interrupted.

"Yeah, give me a Dr. Pepper. And a Coke for Logan?" he nodded.

"So yeah..."he started.

"Oh my gosh Chase! Are you serious? You like me too?" Zoey squealed.

"Gosh!" Logan said... only to be interrupted with a swift smack on the head. He was hit with a Coke, A Dr. Pepper came but he caught that. He looked to the sky "Anything else?"

"Knock, knock..." it was CoCo, the girls' DA (that means Dorm Advisor). "Hey guys, just wanted to..."

"_Oh my gosh I just want to talk to Dana!"_ Logan said, rather loudly. "Oops, sorry."

"Yeah, I just wanted to tell Zoey that her brother is in the lounge. He says it's important."

"Alright, tell him I'll be right there." Zoey said.

"Okay." Logan said. "I'm just gonna blurt out what I have to say before I get interrupted again. Dana, I like you, a lot. As more than just a friend. And it crushed me when you said you weren't coming back next year. I just thought you should know."

"Logan, I..." Dana started, but stopped when Logan's lips were on her's.

_Hey, hey, hey, hey_

"Hey Michael." Nicole said in a low voice, "This is gonna sound like such a Logan thing to say, but... Do you wanna make out?"

"What? Why are you asking me this?"

"I don't know, I guess I just felt something different about you."

"Okay, then yes."

_Ohhhh..._

"Chase, I have to tell you something." Zoey said. "Ever since I came to PCA you've always been there. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't meet you. I think I love you."

"Really, Zoey? I like you too." Chase said.

"Oh my gosh Chase! Are you serious? You like me too?" Zoey squealed.

"Yeah I do."

_Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security_

A few days past since the "love-fest." It was time to leave for the summer, or in Dana's case, forever. A bus left PCA every hour for the airport. Dana's flight was at 11:45, Nicole's was at 11:35, Michael was on the same flight as Nicole but had a lay-over in Kansas. Logan's flight was at noon, but he went to the airport on the 11:00 bus so he could say goodbye to Dana. Zoey, Dustin and Chase all got driven home because they lived only about an hour from the school.

On the bus ride there, Logan and Dana sat together, holding hands, and Nicole and Michael sat together, making out.

"So, uhh, Dana." Logan started, "What are we to each other?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I like you, and you like me, and we like each other. So are we like, going out?"

"Logan, I don't know if that would work. I mean, I'm gonna be in Ohio. You're gonna be here. It _wouldn't _work. I wish it would, but..."

"Dana, we can _make _it work."

"So then, are you my... boyfriend?"

Logan nodded with a smile.

_Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby_

"Flight 137 to Cleveland, Ohio, boarding first class and children 18 and under." the speaker blared.

"Well, that's me." Dana said.

"I'll e-mail you everyday and I'll call you every week and I'll..." Logan said. "I'll even write you letters."

_Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me_

"So, we like making out, don't we?" Michael said on the plane.

"Yes, we do. We really do." Nicole responded.

"Wow. I can start out the summer with a girlfriend." Michael said quietly.

"A what? And I have a boyfriend."

_As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away_

"Bye Logan." Dana turned to board her flight. She reached the gate and turned around. She ran to Logan and Logan ran to her. They embraced in a final kiss before she boarded the plane.

_I say :
La la la.._

	2. The Things You Do to Me

A/N: Okay, I took what _MrsLoganReeese _said into consideration so, I'm writing a follow up. I have no clue where this will go, and I'm writing this author's note before I even write the story. I'm thinking this might be more than a one-shot though. I changed the rating to T because of references not suitable for younger kids. Okay well, here goes nothing I guess.

Disclaimer: I do not own Zoey 101 or AIM. I did, however, write _The Things You Do To Me_ (which sucks)

(Dana POV)

"Lola" I called. "Where's my notebook. I need it for school."

"Hunny why do you need it." my mom asked.

"I don't know, to take notes in?"

"Well, you have so many notebooks, filled with letters to that boy, Landon. Why don't you send them already?" Ms. Cruz said, taking a swig of her drink and going to re-fill it.

"His name is Logan. I do send them, I keep copies for nostalgia reasons. Lola, stop drinking that!" I said, ripping the alcohol out of my mother's hand. "That's the reason I had to come home from one of the best places I've ever been. Because you spent all our money on booze and drugs. Lola, would you stop drinking. For me? For your daughter?"

"You're not my daughter. You're just the result of a drunken night. You were an accident. Why do you think your father isn't around. Because he doesn't care about you."

Tears welled up in my eyes. I wouldn't let my mother see her cry though. "You don't mean that. You're drunk. You're drunk at 7:30 in the morning. Lola, sit down, watch TV have a cup of coffee and some Danish. When I come home I'm gonna check on you okay? Whatever you do just don't go to sleep."

"Just go to school, learn something."

(General POV)

Three hours later, Logan Reese was waking up for another day of school with out his beloved Dana. He had e-mailed her the night before at about 10:00 but he figured she didn't read it yet because it would have been 1 in Ohio and only. There was a three hour time difference in California. Logan walked over to his bureau and picked up his blue cell phone and typed Dana a text message.

"Good morning, lovely, even though its probably the afternoon there. I sent you an e-mail last night, I wrote you a poem. Im becoming a hopeless romantic with you not being here. I miss you

love Logan."

He closed the phone, then opened it again to see the picture that someone else from PCA had taken then sent to Logan's cell phone. It was of him and Dana kissing just before she left. He really loved that picture. He figured she'd read the message at lunch or something.

After sending the message, he walked over to Michael's bed and shook him. "Wake up you stupid boy. We have to go to class. Wake up the bushy haired one too. I'm going to take a shower."

(Logan POV)

I took a shower thinking of Dana. Not in a perverse way, I just always think of her when water is coming down. In the shower, when it rains, or snows, during prank week when we put hoses on top of the new kids' dorms, when I see a fountain. I guess that's because when I told her I liked her as more than a friend it was raining. Or maybe everything just reminds me of her. We'd been together for eight months now. It was January and I hadn't even looked at any of the girls here at PCA. They all looked at me, but, duh, they always have and always would. I'm Logan Reese for Pete's sake.

It was weird. With Dana gone, I was writing a lot. We wrote letters and e-mailed and talked on the phone once a week. But I had a notebook, locked up in a "cash box" (even though there was no money in there, only Dana stuff, so I called it my "Dana Box"), filled with poems I'd written for and about her. Some of them were actually good. I found that English was beginning to be my favorite subject. Well at least when we were writing.

Anyway, after my shower, Chase, Michael and I walked over to room 101, where Dana used to reside, but currently Zoey, Nicole, and their new roommate, Cassie Flynn, lived. I was kind of surprised that Dana had never asked about their new roommate. She had short brown-red hair that she always wore in a ponytail, and she was short. But then again, to me everyone was short this year. I grew 6 inches over the summer, making me 5'9" at the beginning of school, making me taller than Dana by one whole inch. Plus I had grown some more, but I didn't know exactly how much.

I'm getting off track. So we all had Jet X's now because they were being sold and because Zoey and Nicole had won theirs. We were running late and they really came handy. We were riding in rows of two, because that's how wide the roadway things were. Chase next to Zoey (who were dating on and off), Nicole next to Michael (who were "friend with benefits") and me next to Cassie. She was cool, as a friend. She kind of reminded me of my sister, Jess (A/N: I just made that up).

"I miss Dana" were the only words running through my head.

(Dana POV)

I opened my cell phone at lunch and saw that I had an new text message. It was from Logan, naturally. I had an e-mail to check, good thing I had study hall in the computer lab next period.

"Message from Logan?" my best friend in Ohio, Tarah asked.

"Obviously. Who else do I get text messages from during lunch?" I said, then thought a little "Actually he probably sent this at like 7 because of the time difference."

"Well, I think that is so cute that he sends you text messages almost everyday." Tarah said. "Let me see that picture again."

"Which _one_?"

"All of them"

I pulled out a little album of pictures I needed for school that day. I opened to a page with pictures of Logan from the whole school year last year and to my favorite. Someone had taken it at the airport and sent it to me. We were kissing.

"So adorable." she said. "Maybe I should go to boarding school."

"That was an amazing experience. I wouldn't trade it for the world." I said, "but I did miss all my friends."

The lunch bell rang and I went to study hall with Tarah. We sat down and I logged onto AIM to see if Logan was on. He had media at the same time I had study hall and sometimes we chatted. He wasn't on, but I stayed on anyway. I opened my e-mail and opened the one titled "The Things You Make Me Do." It read:

_Dearest Dana Rosalia Cruz_

_I have written a poem for you. I adore you with all my heart._

_The Things You Make Me Do_

_by Logan Reese_

_With each passing moon_

_I dream of you in my arms_

_I long for you so much_

_that I find myself embracing my pillow_

_wishing it was you_

_With each rainfall,_

_I dream of your lips_

_so soft and succulent_

_I find myself drifting off into a world_

_where every desire of my heart is filled_

_With each sunrise_

_I dream of you and your beauty_

_I close my eyes and _

_I can actually see your face_

_Your eyes_

_Your lips_

_I touch you cheek and I kiss you_

_You kiss me back and we are in love_

_I stir in bed and realize with sorrow_

_that it was only a dream_

_Dana, lovely, I miss you so much. I don't understand why I can't be with you. I sleep at night, and I dream of you. I close my eyes and I see you. No tear has graced my cheek that has not been a tear from missing you. You are wonderful and I can't wait to see you again, whenever that is. I am faithful, and true to you here at PCA. _

_With all the love in my heart,_

_Logan Reese _

A tear slid down my face as I read that. I missed him so much. I wanted him to be sitting next to me instead of Steve Conway. He smelled like salami which reminded me of Mark DelFigilo and that reminded me of PCA and all my friends.. But mostly, I just loved Logan. I replied to his e-mail, completely in tears.

(Lola POV)

"Dana, will you come in here please. I have to talk to you." I called when I heard Dana walk trough the door.

"Yeah, Lola." by the tone in her voice I could tell she was still mad about that morning.

"I want you to know that I'm going to get help. I'm going to start going to a group for the drinking and I'm going to get a job. I don't know where, and it's not going to be a very good one, but I'm trying. I'm trying for you. For my daughter."

She ran over and hugged me. "Thank you mom."

"I know you want to go back to that school. I'm going to save all my money, well after bills and taxes, and necessities. I'm going to send you back to Logan and your friends."

	3. Cruz not cruise

A/N: Okay. So The next chapter. It's set a few months after the last one, it's almost spring break.

Dana and Logan are still together. Dana's mom is in rehab and has been sober since January, making it four months.

(Logan POV)

"What do you mean I can't come to Florida for spring break? You promised Dad!" I said angrily into my phone. "I haven't see you or Mom or Jess since the summer. I couldn't come home for Christmas and you said I could come home for this break!"

"Logan, you can go to Florida if you want, but I was going to say that the whole family is going to be in Cleveland because I'm filming from this week until August there." Malcolm Reese said "And I know your girlfriend lives there, so I thought that would be an added bonus."

"Are you serious Dad?"

"Yes, of course. Why would I make that up. My new movie is going to be big, huge. It's staring..."

"Sorry, Dad. I got to get to class."

"I have to go to class, or I've got to get to class. Grammar is very important I want you to do good in school."

"To do _well _in school." I corrected my father and hung up.

I hopped on my Jet X and rode over to the girls' room. Michael and Chase had left a few minutes before me, once I started talking to my dad. Once I got to Butler Hall, everyone laughed at me. I finally asked why.

"Oh, I don't know. You're just wearing the biggest smile I've ever see." Zoey said in her southern accent.

"Yeah, when we left you were mad about your dad." Chase said.:

"Are you going to Florida? Even if you are, there's no reason for that big a smile." Michael piped in.

"Nope. I'm not going to Florida. I'm going somewhere better."I said, getting interrupted by Nicole.

"Oh my gosh! Are you going to France? Or on a cruise in the Carribean or..."

"No," I said. "But you're close with the Cruz."

They all gave me what-the-heck-are-you-talking-about looks.

"I'm going to OHIO!" I said and everyone squealed, including Michael and Chase, which was not as cute and adorable as Zoey and Nicole.

"Okay, call me dumb blonde, but what does a cruise have to do with Ohio? And why would you rather go there than Florida?" Cassie said. I guess we never told her about Dana, or at least that we were together or something.

"Well, Dumb Blonde," I said. "It has nothing to do with a cruise... c-r-u-i-s-e. But it does have to do with a Cruz, C-r-u-z. Dana Cruz, my girlfriend who lives there."

We were on our way to lunch and once we go there, everyone started asking me questions about Dana and Ohio.

"Well, my dad called this morning and told me that I wasn't going to be going to Florida this spring break. I got mad and then he told me that I was going to Ohio because he's shooting a movie there. Right there in Cleveland. Right near Dana. Isn't that great?"

There was a collective yes and I was over joyed.

(Dana POV)

My mom has been in re-hab for four months. She's been in an institution so I've been staying alone. I told her I wanted to be alone and she let me. Lola... Mom, has good judgment. I'd been calling her that, Mom.

I hadn't told Logan or anyone at PCA that I was coming back next year. Or why I'd left in the first place. Logan was coming for spring break. That made me happy. I had heard about his dad filming. When I told Tarah about it she totally gushed. I told her she could meet him. She squealed. It reminded me of Nicole's squealing all last year. I really missed PCA.

Anyway, once Logan got to Ohio, he came over and asked why I was all alone. I started to tell him some lie about my mom being on a business trip but I couldn't.

"Logan, the truth is that my mom is an alcoholic. She's been in re-hab for the last four months. She's getting better." I told him, feeling like a jhuge weight was being lifted off my sholders.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I guess I was embarrassed. And my dad walked out on my mom when he found out that she was pregnant. With me. They didn't want me. Either of them." I could feel tears welling up in my eyes.

"Dana..." Logan said, pulling me into his big strong arms. "Dana." he repeated my name and we fell asleep right there on the couch.

(Logan POV)

We were awoken by a short red head girl standing by the couch shaking Dana. What the heck, who was this girl?

"Oh, Logan," Dana said. "This is my best friend Tarah. Tarah, this is Logan, by boyfriend."

We shook hands and then we all went out for coffee. I was going to meet a few more of Dana's friends.

"Okay Logan, this is "Mike, Matt, and John, and then the girls Kirsten, Hazel, and Tarah, you already met." she introduced me to all of them. All her friends were really nice. Around noon, we left them and went to the mall. We didn't buy anything we just walked around, holding hands.

"Dana, I got you something." I finally said. "Well, really I made it from scrap metal in shop." I opened the box and showed her the bracelet I had made her. "It's metal, but it's kind of like a chain thing. I don't know. Mr. McCain gave me some special stuff when I told him what I was doing."

I had engraved it with "Dana and Logan Forever and a Day." She just smiled and let me put it on her wrist. A perfect fit.

"I have a surprise for you too. But you have to wait to get yours."

I wondered what it was the whole spring break and the whole plane ride home.

	4. Forever and a Day

A/N: the last part in the mini-series (as I like to call it). Hope you enjoy(ed) it. This is set in the end of August/ early September.

Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101

(Dana POV)

I paced nervously in room 101. I'd gotten there a week early to set up everything just like it was two years ago. I threw a bunch of my clothes around the room and put fluffy pillows on Nicole's bunk. I heard Zoey's voice coming down the hall. I hopped into my old bed and pulled down the curtain-thing they made so that the room would look cleaner. Nicole was with her too. Good I would only have to do this once.

"Zoey, why is that down?" Nicole asked as she walked over to my bed.

"Huh? That's weird. Maybe the summer janitors pulled it down or something."

Zoey reached for it and I sat up quietly. She pulled it up, revealing me. I jumped out and yelled "Surprise!" In doing this I almost made Nicole pass out.

"Oh my gosh Dana. What are you doing here!"Zoey asked.

"I'm back. For good." I said.

"What about Cassie? Where's she staying?" Nicole asked

"With Vicky and Melissa." I said.

"How'd you get her to go? Not that we don't want you here. We totally do. Really we do." Zoey said, sincerely.

"I paid her $20." I said.

"So we're only worth twenty? Gosh, I thought we'd be at least 25."Nicole started ranting.

"I gotta go hide in the guys' room now." I said. "You guys wanna come?"

(Logan POV)

_Great_, I thought, _another school year with out my beloved_.

Chase, Michael, and myself were reaching our dorm. I turned the key and opened the door to see three girls playing card on the floor. It was Zoey, Nicole and someone else. I couldn't tell because she had a hood up. As she stood up, she stood in an exact spot where I could see her face in the mirror. She turned around, obviously surprised at my height. (I had grown some more and I now towered over her.) We hugged.

"Is this my present?"I asked.

"Yes." she said and kissed me. She showed me that she was wearing her bracelet, and I noticed she had a tan line from it, meaning she wore it all summer. I smiled. Classes started the in the next few days. We compared schedules. I had two classes with Nicole (that was about all I could take with her anyway), one with Michael, three with Zoey, the same three with Chase, and ironically all were with Dana. This was going to be a good year.

"Dana, do you wanna go for a walk." I asked her after dinner as the sun was starting to sink beyond the horizon.

"Yeah sure."

(General POV)

Logan and Dana took of their shoes and walked barefoot in the sand. It started to drizzle slightly. Logan turned her to him slowly and kissed her in the light mist. They looked behind them to see Zoey, Chase, Michael, Nicole, Quinn, Mark, Dustin and another 7th grader (a girl) calling them and making a fire. Logan turned and started to walk back to them.

"Wait, Logan." Dana said. "I have to do something. Just for old times sake"

"What?"he asked, but it was too late. She had already stomped his foot and was now running to her friends at the other end of the beach.

"I'll get you back" Logan said, catching up to her. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into the sand with him. The friends sat in the sand all night, while Chase played guitar and they all sang songs. Logan had is arm protectively, yet romantically around Dana's shoulders, showing a metal bracelet, just like the one he'd given her. It read "Dana and Logan Forever and a Day."

End file.

1. Chapter 1

**Almost There**

"Hey Chase, did you hear?" Michael Barret burst into his dorm room.

"Did I hear what?" Chase Matthews asked his friend as he took a sip of his Blix.

"Zoey's coming here for the weekend,"Michael replied.Chase almost choked at the sound of her name.

"Oh really?" Chase asked trying to sound as casual as he could without going insane.

"Yeah. This weekend. Tommorow," Michael replied. Chase's stomach suddenly got that sick, warm feeling that he always got at the mention of his old friend. This feeling was different though. Everything was different.

"Who told you?" Chase demanded.

"Nicole just got off the phone with her," Michael replied," She'll be here around seven Friday night and she's going back home Sunday afternoon."

Chase didn't know if he should jump up and down in excitment or lock himself in his room for the next three days. See the last time he saw Zoey was over two months ago and they didn't part in the greatest way.

You see, Zoey's family decided to take her and Dustin out of PCA at the end of the first semester of Zoey's sophmore year because Zoey's mother was missing having them around the house. After alot of arguements and tears, Zoey and her brother finally agreed to it.

Of course all of Zoey's friends were extremely sad to see her go. But Chase, obviously took it the hardest. Even though he said that he was over his crush on Zoey deep down he knew that a love like that couldn't just die. So,while she and him were taking a walk down by the creak where they usually sat and talked he stupidly told her how he felt. It just spilled out. "Zoey, I'm really going to miss you. And I just wanna let you know that ever since I met you, I've liked you. Not in the friend, buddy-buddy type, but well ya know...that type."

"What type?" Zoey asked dumbly.

"I love you," The three little words burst out of his mouth. After holding them in that long it felt so incredibly wonderful for her to know... until he saw the look on her face.

"Chase I thought we were both on the same page. I mean I thought that we both thought of us as just friends. I'm sorry," Zoey ran back to her dorm and left Chase staring after her in shock as to what had just happened. That was the last time he saw her. He was too humiliated to go to her going away party.

And that is why Chase groaned when he heard the news she was coming back for a visit. For the past two months he had slowly started to recover from his embaressing outburst and was actually getting used to life without her. Now she was going to come back and all those awful feelings were going to come back to him.

"Dude,are you alright?" Michael asked his friend who was staring like a zombie into space.

"Not quite," Chase replied.

* * *

**Friday-7:00 p.m.**

"Zoey!" Nicole sprinted toward her friend nearly knocking over her friend and the few people in between them,"Oh my gosh! You're here!" Nicole and Zoey hugged.

"Yep, I'm here," Zoey grinned,"Man I missed this place.It makes my school back home look completely lame."

"Are there any cute guys there?" Nicole asked completely serious.

Zoey shrugged,"Sure."

"Well I wanna hear everything. Tell me about your teachers, your friends, your love life. I'm so excited your here!" Nicole exclaimed as they walked back to Nicole, Dana, and Lola's dorm.

"Me too," Zoey said.

"Man...this is so exciting. Everyone's in my room. We thought it would be nice for us all to get together and watch a movie or something since we haven't seen you in so long," Nicole said as she opened the door to her dorm.

"That's fine with me," Zoey said. Everyone? Did that include Chase? She and Nicole walked in to Logan and Michael in a heated arguement about who was the better surfer. Lola and Quinn sat on Nicole's bed laughing about something and Dana lay on her bed working on homework with her headphones on.

"Hey everyone," Zoey said with a little wave. The odd group dropped everything and all started talking at once.

"Zoey! Oh my gosh! You're here! We missed you!"

"Hey, Zoe. Long time no see."

"Hey guess what? While you were gone I learned how to clone a platypus!"

Zoey couldn't help but burst out laughing. She had certainly missed the chaos that came with her friends.

"So, Zoey, how have you been?" Michael asked.

"I'm good. Home is just as boring as it was before I came here. So... uh, where is Chase?" She asked.

The group was quet for a moment until Dana finally spoke up,"He had play practice."

Zoey couldn't help but feel a bit hurt. He knew his best friend was coming back and he wasn't there? Sure they didn't leave on the best terms but didn't he want to see her? Besides, out of all her friends she missed, he was on her mind the most.

* * *

"Okay, let me hear the line again," the dull director of the spring play said for what felt like the fiftieth time.

The female lead of the part sighed and cleared her throaght," Johnny, I love you. Don't you see that? I know we're best friends but can't you just see past that for moment and imagine me and you together?"

Chase looked at the girl and recited his line perfectly," Claire, I thought you knew that we were just going to be friends. I don't want anything more with you. Not now, not ever." Inside Chase groaned.This had to be the worst play written by a student in PCA history. Some freshman named Chuck had written and somehow, Chase had gotten cast as the male lead part.

"That was hurtful, Johnny," Claire walked away somberly and that ended scene five.

"Cut!" Mr. Randolf shouted,"Chase, I need you to have more emotion. Like this was happening to you. Like your best friend confessed her love for you! I know you have it in you, just let it out."

"I think I can relate a little better with Claire," Chase muttered.

"What was that?" Mr. Randolf asked, a harsh look on his face.

"Nothing," Chase replied with a sigh,"I'll try to be more into my part."

"Good."

* * *

A/N: Alright this is a begining of a mini series (proboly 3-5 chapters.) because Reunited is ending in the next chapter. By the way, If you haven't read the last chapter go do it. It's surprising.

Oh and as some of you have figured out, Dana and Nicole will most definately continue to be in my stories even if they are no longer on the show. I can't work with Quinn and Lola as well as those two but they will also be in the stories (minor parts) because they are awesome.

Tell me what you think.

	2. Chapter 2

**Almost There**

-Chapter Two-

The next morning Zoey woke up happier and more relaxed than she had in a long time. Last night was fun and releiving. She had gone through an awful time back home at her new high school. Sure there were some nice people there but none that compared to her friends. Zoey wasn't one to get attached to things and people easily but she did get attached to the campus, the teachers, and of course her awesome friends.

Zoey stood up and streched. Dana was already sleeping so she knew that it must be late. It was almost noon. I just wasted half the day sleeping! Zoey thought angry at herself for not waking up earlier. She threw on a fresh pair of clothes and rushed out of her old dorm.

She found all her friends at their old lunch table.Even Chase was there. She sat down with her ususal salad and blix. "Hey guys!"

"Oh, hey Zoey!" Everyone but Chase replied. He didn't even look up from the book he was reading.

Zoey sat down, extremely uncomfortable.Was he mad at her? "So what are you guys doing today?"

"I've got a basketball tournament," Logan announced,"Be there if you want to watch." He winked at her. Zoey shuddered in diusgust. He was definately the same as he was a few months ago. Dana gave him a dirty look.

"I have the basketball tournament too and than I have to study with my friend Kiera for our French test," Michael said.

"I have this awesome new job off campus at a studio. I have a small role in some tv show," Lola said.

"I'm going to tutor Brandon Willis a sixth grader in biology,"Quinn said.

"And I have a date!" Nicole exclaimed,"Speaking of which, Are you dating anyone back home?" Nicole asked Zoey. Chase almost choked on his ham sandwhich and looked up at Zoey afraid of the answer.

"Well, I dated this one guy, Kyle but it didn't work out," Zoey said embaressed," Chase what are you doing all day?"

"Oh...I'm uh, I have play practice. All day," He answered and than went back to his book.

"Ok, so Dana what are you doing?" Zoey asked.

"I have to be somewhere," She said, not exsplaining any more than that.

"Well, I guess I'll just wander around campus for the day," Zoey shrugged.

"We are all going to see Chase's play tonight at seven," Nicole said,"So youn can meet us there, right?"

"Sure," Zoey replied excitedly.

"I don't think that's such a good idea," Chase blurted out.

"Why?" Zoey asked.

"Because it's an awful play. Horribly written, and my acting isn't the best either," Chase said. The last thing he wanted Zoey to see was him in a lame play written by a freshmen that sounded so much like their situation.

"Oh I don't mind.I'm sure it's not as bad as you think. It'll be fun," Zoey said.

"I've gotta goto practice," Chase bolted from the table and walked toward the theature.

Zoey looked after him, confused. Something was so different about him but she couldn't quite put her finger on it."I'll be right back," She rushed after him trying to keep up with quick paced walk,"Chase! Will you wait minute?"

"I can't," he replied.

"Come on. I'm sure the director won't be upset if you're two minutes late for practice. Please stop. I need to talk to you," Zoey said.

"No."

"Fine than I'll talk and you can listen," Zoey said. Chase quickened his pace even faster but Zoey kept up with him. "You've ignored me since I got here."

"I've been busy," Chase said stiffly.

"Too busy to even say hello to me?" Zoey asked.

Suddenly, Chase stopped and looked at her,"Zoey. I really want to talk to you and for things to be like old times and for us to have such an intimate friendship again but I can't."

"Why not?" She asked.

"Because I loved you and you didn't love me back. Don't you realize that it's hard for me to even look at you? I thought you were out of my life forever and I accepted that. But you coming back just ruined it all," Chase blurted out.

Zoey looked at him hurt,"Chase when I said I didn't love you I want you to know that-"

"Zoey, I'm sorry but I really have to go,"Chase said and than walked into the theature leaving a shocked Zoey behind staring after him.

* * *

A/N: Wow so Chase was being kind of a jerk in this chapter. Hm.

This story shall end in a few chapters. It's basicly just a story to get me out of my Reunited thoughts.

-Noelle

	3. Chapter 3

**Almost There**

-Chapter Three-

On nights when Chase couldn't sleep he took a quick walk around the PCA campus. Even if it wasn't exactly allowed to wander around in the middle of the night he never got in any real trouble with anyone.

Chase walked slowly on the sidewalk, letting his left hand gently rest on the concrete wall as he moved. It started to feel numb after a while. He thought of the premeire of the play. It went particularily well. Except for the kiss. His character Johnny had to kiss Elizabeth's character, Claire. Zoey was there. He saw her in the audience. She looked completely shocked. What did this mean? In the back of his mind he kind of hoped that maybe just maybe she was jealous. Not that he liked seeing Zoey jealous but if she was jealous that meant she had feelings for him, right? The sensible part of his mind snapped Chase back to reality. Zoey didn't like him. She didn't and wouldn't EVER love him in any way than just a friend.

He wished he never told her that he loved her. He wished he didn't ignore her all weekend. It was 1:37 in the morning. She was going home in approximartly 7 hours and 23 minutes. He needed to talk to her before she left. He NEEDED to.

* * *

Like Chase, Zoey was also having a hard time sleeping. Even when she did start to drift off to sleep she would wake up in about fifteen minutes because of a weird dream. That's what this visit to PCA felt like- A weird, bizarre, alternate reality, dream. But it wasn't a dream, it was completely 100 percent real. And it was awful.

Zoey got up out of bed not exactly knowing where she was going. She just had to get out of the room. It was insanely warm in there and she could use some fresh California air.

He kissed her. The image of Chase kissing whoever it was who played Claire played over and over in her mind. He kissed her.

* * *

Chase was walking by the fountain and than finally decided to sit down. It was a quiet night. Only the soft splashes of water from the fountain could be heard. He relaxed more and layed down looking up at the stars and run his hand through the cool water.(Even though that is gross and completely unsanitary.) Suddenly he heard footsteps and sat up. He saw a shadow of a female that looked a little like Zoey but he was sure he was just seeing things.

"Hello?" Chase asked cautiously.

"Chase?" It was Zoey. She rushed to the fountain and stood there, awkwardly.

"What are you doing out here so late?" Chase asked.

"I wasn't very comfortable in my room and needed some fresh air," Zoey exsplained,"Wait why are you out here in the middle of the night?"

"I just decided to take a walk," Chase said,"Wanna sit?"

Zoey nodded and sat beside him. She was starting to get cold.

"So, you saw the play?"

"Yeah."

"I didn't really want to be in it. It was just kind of a distraction from...things." They sat in an uncomfortable silence.

"I saw the kiss," Zoey finally said.

"Oh?"

"Yeah and I have to confess, I was a little jealous even if it was just acting."

"You were?"

Zoey nodded,"I need to tell you something."

"Anything."

"Remember when you told me you had feelings for me and I basicly flat out said that I don't like you back?"

"That's a memory that I definatly haven't forgotten."

"Well, I need to clear it up," Zoey swallowed," I lied."

Chase looked at her in shock,"You mean..."

"I love you too," Zoey said. She took a deep breath and before she could say anything else he leaned in and kissed her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He breathed after the kiss.

"I was scared. I was leaving and wasn't sure if I'd ever see you again," Zoey said.

"Well, just to point it out, your leaving again and there's another possibility that you may not come back for a long time," Chase said somberly.

"Yeah," Zoey said in an equally somber way.

"I'm willing to make it work if you are," Chase said.

"You mean-"

"I want to give us a try. If a long distance relationship doesn't work than lets wait but stay friends and never lose touch again. That was the worst few months of my life when you were gone," Chase said.

"Me too."

The two stayed up all night on that very fountain talking and catching up. Her dad came in the early morning to pick her up and she had to say good bye to everyone again which was hard. But somehow she was satisfied. She didn't know when but they woul some day meet again and until than there would be lots of phone calls and a ton of e-mails. It could work.

A/N: Yeah, the end.

Almost There by Noelle Joi


Journal Writings

Dana pulled out her desk chair and plopped down. Laying a red and black book on the desk, she opened it up. Grabing the closet pen she started to write.

_Dear Journal, 1-2-06_

_I don't know what's going on with me these days. I mean first every time I'm around Logan I get this funny feeling in my stomach and I can't think of anything to say. Like this morning he started like always and he made a comment about my body, usually I would throw something back at him. But this time all I did was blush and look down. Now I never blush and here I'm doing it in front of Logan. Then yesterday I saw him talking to Zoey and Nicole. I don't know why but I got jealous for some reason. I know Zoey and Nicole don't like him but I still didn't talk to them for the whole day. Last week I found myself looking at Logan's body. All of use was in Chase and Logan's room when Logan walked in wearing nothing but pants. I mean I couldn't take my eyes off his body. I never realized how much muscle he really had. I'm come to realized that I like Logan and I don't know when I'll tell him, even if I'll tell him. I mean look at me why would Logan wanna date something as ugly as me. He only goes for the blond dumb type, he wouldn't give me a second look. So why am I even worrying about all this. Cause I'm stupid that's why. Well I guess I should go, write more later._

Dana yawned stretching her arms above her head. Laying the pen in her book she shut it. Pushing the chair back she walked over to her bed. Grabing the clothes she had layed out she walked into the bathroom.

Logan walked down the hall thinking of something to do. When his eyes landed on Dana's room. He brought his hand up to knock, but thought other whys. If he knocked she'd probably shut the door in his face. So he turned the nob and sighed when it open. After making sure she wasn't in the room he walked in. Jumping on her bed he brought the pillow up his nose and inhaled her scent. Letting his eyes scan the room he stoped when he saw a book laying on the desk. 'Wonder what that is?' He thought getting up and walking over to the desk. Reaching down he opened the book to where the pen was. Words caught his eyes. Satting down he silently read. Once he was done, he was stunned. He couldn't believe his Dana thought all this of him. How was he going to make her see that's there more to him then good looks and a cocky attitude. The pen caught his eyes. Grabing it he started writing under Dana'd writing.

**First off your not stupid, and second off I know I have a good body. Took you long enough to notice. What makes you think I wouldn't lay my eyes on you? I may have dated a lot of blond girls, sure they may have been dumb. But I've dated other girls who are smart and stuff. On other notes I just wanna say I like you. I've always liked you since the first time I layed eyes on you. So there's a dance coming up this friday. So why don't you and me go together. I'll pick you up in your room at eight. See ya then babe.**

**Oh the comment about your body I ment it.**

**Lov ya Logan**

Once he reread it and made sure he said everything he wanted to he left the room. But not before going over to the bathroom door and checking the door. But sadly she had it locked. Sighing Logan walked out the door just before Dana walked out of the bathroom fully dressed. She was about to turn off the light and jump in bed, her journal caught her eye. She remembers closing it not leaving it open. Walking over to it she was about to close it till words at the bottom caught her eyes. She read them and all most fainted. Logan had read her journal!

She couldn't believe it Logan liked her to. It was like she had died and went to heaven. The best part was he wanted to go to the dance with her, not a blond bimbo but her plain average Dana. She blushed when she read the last part. Leave it to Logan to lighten the mood. Closing her book she shut off the light. Snuggling under the covers she soon fell in a deep sleep. Dreaming of one thing and one thing only...Logan and her.

**Ok so I don't know why I wrote this but it came to me so I went with it. So please review and tell me what you think.**

Computer Issues

**Computer Issues**

**This is a cute little one-shot that I have been inspired to write. The inspiration source is the Youtube video, German Kid Kills Computer. Most hilarious video ever, in my opinion. Go check it out, and enjoy the hilarity.**

"ARGGGGG, LOAD ALREADY!" Logan screamed at his computer as he waited impatiently for the computer to start up. Something was wrong with it and he was getting very angry. He stopped his anger management classes a few weeks ago, but now his anger was returning slowly. Especially with the computer acting up today. James and Michael were gone somewhere. He thought they left to go see their girlfriends Zoey and Lisa, so he was stuck here, hoping to go on the computer, but something was making it go super slow. He was so close in ripping the keyboard out of wherever it was plugged into and start banging it against the table. Before he could though, (he literally had his hands on both sides of the keyboard) it finished loading and showed the welcome screen.

"Finally!" he exclaimed loudly as he signed in and clicked enter. The computer went by faster this time, loading up the screen and all the icons.

"Thank god," Logan muttered as he clicked on an icon. He waited and just as it was about to open up the program, something happened. The whole computer froze. Logan frowned as he tried to move the mouse around. It was frozen. He started clicking buttons on the keyboard, no luck. He pressed control G, nothing. He even pressed Crt Alt Delete, nothing happened. He tried to shut down the computer but it was completely frozen, nothing happened. The same blank screen shone in his face. Logan pulsed with anger. He wanted one thing done and it couldn't be done. Logan's anger boiled up slowly. Until it boiled over.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Logan screamed loudly. He started banging on the keyboard angrily. When that didn't work, he ripped the keyboard up and started repeatedly banging it on the edge of the desk, watching some of the keys fly. He wanted ONE THING! Come on! He set down the keyboard and grabbed his I-Pod and chucked it at the wall. After that, he started screaming into his pillow until finally he stopped and went to go kick his bed. Unfortunately, he hit the metal part and he suddenly screamed in pain, hobbling on his foot and sitting down, rubbing it. He took deep breaths and started to calm down. Finally, when he was sure he was calm enough, he grabbed his cell phone and pressed number 3. He listened to it ring, his other foot tapping impatiently till someone answered.

"Hello?" someone asked. Logan took a deep breath.

"Hey Quinn, I need your help with my computer. It's not working. Can you come fix it? Oh yeah, and the keyboard too," Logan asked. There was silence on the other end before she spoke.

"Sure. Give me 5 minutes," Quinn said. Logan smiled.

"Thanks, see you soon," he said as he hung up. He started pacing the room, his hand clenched. Finally, he fell upon the bed, waiting for Quinn to get here. It was taking forever! He needed the computer NOW! Finally, the door opened and in came Quinn with a tool kind of box in her hand. Logan immediately stood up and walked over to his secret girlfriend.

"Thank god you're here! I've been waiting forever!" Logan exclaimed. Quinn took a look at the mess in the room.

"What did you do?" she asked, laughing slightly. Logan started growing a bit red in the face.

"I need the computer, and it froze on me," he said sheepishly. Quinn looked at Logan and laughed again.

"I figure the anger management classes backfired," Quinn said. Logan nodded.

"Just a little bit," he said. Quinn just shook her head as she walked to the computer and started fixing the keyboard first. Logan waited as patiently as he could, trying to keep his mind elsewhere, but it wasn't working. Finally he asked, "Are you done yet?"

Quinn turned to Logan. "Not yet. Give me some time," she said patiently before turning back to her work. Finally after a minute, she fixed the keyboard, plugged it back in and turned to the computer. She looked at the screen and pressed a few keys. It didn't work so she moved down and crawled to where everything was plugged in. She spotted a switch and turned it off. The computer died down immediately. Logan watched, amazed as she flipped the switch back on and the computer sprang back to life. It rebooted and the load went much quicker this time. The welcome screen popped up.

"Now try it," she said as she crawled out and stayed back as Logan signed in. It loaded quickly and soon he was clicking on the icon again. This time it didn't freeze and it opened immediately. Quinn tried to see the program, but Logan was blocking her view.

"What do you need the computer for anyways?" she can't help but ask. Logan turned to her.

"I need to upload a picture of myself," he said confidently as Quinn rolled her eyes, spotting the Photoshop program up. Some things never change, she thought. She watched as Logan opened up a picture and started sizing it. She approached him to get a better look and couldn't help but smile when she saw it. It was of Logan, of course, but it was a really sweet picture. He stood on the beach, in front of the ocean with his arms folded. He was tilted a bit to the left and he was smiling, not conceitedly, but rather in a cute way. He wasn't wearing a shirt and he had his bathing suit on. His hair was wet, which meant he had been in the water. Quinn smiled as Logan turned to her, smiling sheepishly, his anger completely vanished as he stood up and printed the picture then wrapped his arms around Quinn.

"Michael and James and I went to the beach a few days ago, and we were fooling around, taking some pictures, so I thought a nice picture of me would be perfect for you," Logan smiled as he took the picture and handed it to Quinn, who looked astonished.

"For me?" she asked. Well, I guess people surprise you, she thought at she looked up at Logan lovingly.

"Of course. Now, to make sure Lola and Zoey don't get suspicious, I suggest you keep the photo somewhere safe," Logan told her as he again, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck tenderly. Quinn giggled and let herself be kissed.

"That was really sweet of you. Thanks Logan. I'm gabberflasted," Quinn teased as Logan stopped to give her a glare.

"Hey, it's not my fault!" he defended. Quinn just shook her head playfully and kissed Logan on the lips. Her phone rang shrilly and Quinn stopped to answer it.

"Hello? Hey Lola. What? What did you do? Ok, I'll be right there," she said before hanging up and turning to Logan.

"I have to go. Lola accidentally knocked over one of my experiments and she said it's smoking or something. I should go. But I'll see you later, ok?" Quinn asked him, smiling. Logan nodded and kissed her tender lips once more.

"Of course. Go on, Lola needs you," he joked as Quinn playfully hit him, folded up the picture and slipped it into her pocket. She walked toward the door. Logan suddenly had a thought.

"Hey Quinn, could you stop by tomorrow after breakfast?" he asked her. Quinn turned around.

"Why?" she asked. Logan walked over to the wall and picked up his I-Pod, scratched, and bent in a weird angle.

"My I-Pod needs fixing," he said sheepishly. Quinn laughed and nodded before exiting the room, a smile upon both of their faces.

**Ok, so again, a random oneshot inspired by a video. It's a little bit crappy, maybe because I had this idea for a while and just wanted to get it out. I had it originally more toward another idea, but then this kind of came out, so I hope you enjoyed. I'm not totally good with humour but I'm great at fluff and romance, and I tried to keep it humourous and light. So please review, and I hope you enjoyed it.**

**By the way, watch German Kid Kills Computer on Youtube. It truly is hilarious. **

Broken Fairy Tale

I'm sick of all the fairy tale stories where everything turns out happily ever after.

Did anyone ever tell the authors that life's not always perfect?

That people die?

That the princess doesn't always get the prince?

Or that sometimes the frog turns out to be just a frog?

My name is Dana Cruz and this is my fairy tale.

* * *

I was born into a broken home.

My dad was abusive and a drug addict.

Some days there was no money for clothes or food, so we went without.

He died when I was six in a gang conflict, caught in the crossfire.

It wasn't like any of us were particularly sad to see the man who had ruined our lives go, but it broke my mom's heart.

I think she really believed he loved her.

When I was eight my mom lost her job.

She drifted in and out of part time jobs, became an alcoholic and spent many nights at the bar, drinking her money away.

Sometimes she didn't come home at all.

Right before my tenth birthday my best friend went to the police about it.

She said it was for the best; needless to say she is now my Ex-best friend.

It was hard for them to find a family that would take me.

Of course it didn't help that I hated the guts of anyone who even thought about taking me.

I lived in eight different foster homes throughout the course of that year.

When they finally found a family that wouldn't opt out after a month or so I had developed an even sharper tongue and tough shell.

It didn't matter however because the family I was placed in didn't really want me.

They were busy and rich, sure their hearts had been set on raising a child, but as soon as they had me they shipped me off to boarding school and carried on with their lives.

That's how I came to PCA.

I immediately obtained a tough rep.

Everyone at PCA was scared of me and almost everyone kept their distance.

You heard me, almost everyone.

The great Logan Reese just had to hit on me at every chance he could get.

As much as I still hate to admit it I fell head over heals for him.

It looked a lot like something good was finally happening to me, but as we both know; my life is no happily ever after.

I was transferred to a school in France.

I never moved back.

I never saw him again.

Of course the newspapers told me he became a producer; they also told me he was still single.

But somehow that all made it worse knowing I might have had a chance with him.

I resolved to try.

I scrimped and saved to afford the flight back to America.

But by the time I had enough he was happily married.

I never got over him.

Now I'm an old maid who sits and stares at newspaper clippings, still living my broken fairy tale of a life.

And I can never help but wonder at the what-ifs.

Broken Fairy Tale by Captain-Kate-Finch


Stay In Love

Disclaimer: I do not own...

_**Stay in Love**_

She looked out the window and saw the night sky, a remembrance of what happened two years ago pained her chest and she felt tears well up in her eyes. She wiped them away with a swift motion of her hand, but the pain didn't subside, it only grew, making her bite her lip in order to keep the tears from forming.

She walked outside and leaned on the door, the cool fall air briskly hitting her face. She couldn't help as the warm tears slid down her cold face. Crossing her arms she leaned on the balcony railing and sighed.

With each beat of her heart the pain seemed to grow. She couldn't help but go back to that night...

It was never supposed to happen...

He was supposed to love her...

She took a deep breath to try and calm down without much success. Her mind mind went back to that day two years ago.

She was visiting from France...

Hoping she would see him...

He had kissed her a year before promising her he'd love her forever, and no one else could replace her.

She had walked into his dorm to find him kissing Quinn, and telling her he'd love her forever.

Since then every night she'd go out on that balcony and remember that. He had noticed her later that day, when he wast the last person she wanted to see.

Every time she saw his face it caused her pain and grief...

She should have known better...

Quinn wasn't the bad person here, she didn't know he promised that to her...

It was him...

He knew, he remembered but gave up...

She always tried to let go after that, but found it harder than you might think...

She kept a picture of him on her nightstand...

She fell asleep to it every night, and woke up to it every morning...

It hurt her, but there was nothing she could do...

She didn't want to let go...

He made her feel special...

What they had was magical...

Right out of a fairytale...

A fairytale that all came crumbling down once she left him...

She looked up at he moon and how bright it was, night was her favorite part of the day.

The black sky swallowed up the daytime and looked so peaceful and calm.

She looked over at the Eiffel Tower...

She looked out there every night...

Taking another deep breath, she saw her breath and decided to head inside...

The crisp air growing frigid and cold...

He let her down so many times...

He made her cry every night for two years straight...

Even on her birthday...

Thats how much he meant to her...

Thats how broken she was...

She was used to crying...

She was still waiting though, for the day that her tears would stop, and a smile would occupy her face instead...

She hadn't smiled in two years...

He made her smile...

He made her feel safe and comfortable...

A year of tightly laced love, fights, and comfort came undone in a matter of seconds with a few words...

That's what she hated the most...

But she also hated that he never even called her...

Not even once...

She dangled her head and changed into her pajamas...

Sure she was angry, but she realized that anger won't do anything when he's not even on the same continent as her...

She checked her phone, she knew he wouldn't call, but she always had hope...

Maybe if she saw him again she'd put two years of anger and tears to use and tell him how he'd managed to break her...

How fragile he had made this once strong girl...

Wiping her tears for the last time, she shut off the light, submerging the room into darkness...

Stay In Love by becks-castle41319


What Did I Miss?

**I thought of this after watching **_**Chasing Zoey**_**. Which, by the way, was an AMAZING movie. I was freaking out when Logan just shouted out he loved Quinn. I swear, my jaw dropped to the floor. And Zoey and Chase FINALLY kissed (after 4 long seasons). So anyway, here's **_**What Did I Miss?**_**.**

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

It was the day after prom and PCA was still buzzing about what happened. Quinn and Logan had confessed there love for one another, Chase was back and dating Zoey, something every PCA student knew would happen, Stacy's S's were sounding perfect. It truly was a prom to remember.

Zoey, Chase, Lola, Vince, Micheal, Lisa, Quinn and Logan were hanging out in the girls room talking about what just happened. Zoey and Chase were sharing a bean bag chair, Vince was sitting on the bottom bunk with Lola sitting between his legs, Micheal sat on a bean bag chair with Lisa sitting on his lap and Quinn and Logan sat on Zoey's bed, Logan's head resting on Quinn's lap.

"So I obviouly missed alot when I was gone," Chase said, "Lola, when did you and Vince start dating. I thought Vince was expelled after he beat up Micheal, Logan, Mark and I."

"Yeah," Vince said, "Sorry about beating you up."

"Well after he apologized, I started to like him" Lola answered, "Since then we've been going out for a couple of weeks." Chase shook his head.

"I can't believe it," he said, "I also can't believe _Quinn _and _Logan_ are dating! Have I stepped into the Twilight Zone?"

"No," Logan said, "Is it really that unbelievable?"

"Kind of," said Micheal, "It's all PCA has been talking about since yesterday."

"So when did you two start dating?" Lisa asked.

"It was the day Mark broke up with me," Quinn said, "Logan found me crying on a bench. He comforted me and we just kissed."

"_Logan_ comforted you?" Zoey said in shcok. Quinn nodded, smiling at the memory.

"Sweet mother molasses, I can't believe it," Micheal said, "Logan has a sensative side." Logan threw a pillow at his friend, hitting him in the head.

"Okay, was the violence necessary?" Micheal asked. Logan just rolled his eyes.

"But I have to admit," Quinn said to Logan, "I was surprised when you suddenly shouted 'I LOVE QUINN!',"

"Yeah, I thought so when I saw the look of shock on your face," Logan said.

"I'm scared to ask what else happened while I was gone," Chase said, "Lola's dating Vince Blake, Quinn's dating Logan, next your gonna tell me a horse was following Micheal." Silence fell over the room.

"Oh God, that really happened?" Chase said. Micheal nodded.

"Please tell me something normal happened while I was gone," Chase said. Lola and Quinn looked at Zoey with identical unsure looks.

"Should you tell him?" Quinn said.

"Tell me what?" Chase asked.

"You should tell him Zoey," Lola said.

"Tell me what?" Chase repeated anxiously. Zoey took a deep breath and said, "I sorta kinda had a boyfriend while you were in England." Chase's green eyes widened.

"Y-You did?" he stammered. Zoey nodded nervously.

"But I broke up with him," she added quickly, "Things were just getting weird between me and him."

"Was he cuter than me?" Chase asked. Zoey giggled.

"No," she said.

"Is he taller?" Chase asked. Zoey thought for a moment.

"I don't think so," she said.

Chase sighed in relief.

"Good," he said. Zoey just laughed.

"So what else happened?" Chase asked.

"Oh, I learned how to drive a stick shift," Micheal said excitedly.

"Really," Chase said, "Who taught you?"

"Mr. Takato," Micheal said. Lisa rolled her eyes.

"For the last time Micheal, there's no Mr. Takato!" she said impatiently. Micheal opened his mouth to argue, but remembered his last run in with said teacher.

"Yeah," he said slowly, "Whatever you say baby."

"Please tell me no more weirdness happened while I was gone," Chase said. Everyone thought for a moment.

"Nope, nothing else," said Quinn.

"Good," said Chase, "I don't think my heart can take much more of this."

"Why don't we all go to Sushi Roxs and get some lunch?" Micheal suggested. Everyone agreed and stood up. Chase and Zoey were the last to leave.

"Zoey, can you promise me something?" Chase asked a Zoey locked the door.

"Yeah," she said, "What?" Chase grinned and said, "Remind me never to leave the country again. 'Cause then I come back and everything has been turned upside down." Zoey giggled and said, "I promise."

**Well, there's the story. How was it? Please Review!**

What Did I Miss? by MoonlightSpirit


Goodbye Zoey

**Goodbye Zoey**

Zoey starred back at her friends before she got into her parents car. She never thought she was

going to leave PCA so soon. As the car pulled out of the driveway she gave her friends one last

look. She tried to smile, but it did not come easy. She looked out of the window as they drove

down the road, watching the school she had come to love disappear in the distance. She

remained quite when getting on the plane, and her parents noticed her disinterest. She shrugged it

off, saying it was nothing, but it continued to bother her. _Why was it that Chase did not seem as _

_interested as everyone else to make her stay_. She stared out of the window of the plane, in silent

thought. Staying distant from her parents she remained in deep thought about her friends. _I'm _

_doing the right thing_. She thought to herself.

When they arrived at the airport in London, Zoey walked off plane staring at the floor. She knew

she should be excited about being in London, but she could not get her friends off her mind. All

she could do what think about Chase, and why he didn't make an effort to make her stay. She

began to unpack and decided to e-mail Lola and Quinn. When she turned on her labtop a video

suddenly popped up. She got ready to close it out when she noticed that it was Chase. She

turned the volume on the computer up and watched.

"Why is it that when you were given the opportunity to tell Zoey to stay, you told her to leave?"

came Logan's voice through the monitor.

"I don't know!" Chase answered simply putting his head in his hands.

Zoey wasn't sure she wanted to hear this, and was getting ready to turn the computer off when

something Michael said made her stop.

"Why is it so hard for you to admit you miss her?" he asked. Zoey watched waiting for the

answer.

"I don't just miss her." he said looking up. "I'm in love with her."

Zoey's heart skipped a beat as she just stared at the screen. _Did he really just say that?_ She

asked herself.

"Now you may never get the chance to tell her how you feel." Logan said interrupting Zoey's

thoughts.

"He's in love with me." she said to herself out loud still not believing it. She turned off the

computer and sat in silence. Her mind was full of thoughts, she did not know what to think of the

news. Then she suddenly stood up from her chair. Her mother walked in noticing this.

"What is it?" she asked.

"I have to go back to PCA." said Zoey rushed.

"What? Why?" her mother asked confused. She hesitated for a moment thinking about her

answer.

"I'm in love with Chase." she said coming to the realization. Her mother stared at her with

surprise before picking up the phone and calling the airport. Zoey quickly packed the few things

she had unpacked her heart racing. She still hadn't figured out what she was going to say when

she got back. After her mother got off the phone with the airport and rushed Zoey into the car.

There was one more seat left on the next flight and they needed to get to the airport fast. The

flight took much longer back then it had to get there. She continued to try to think of what she

wanted to say, but had no luck finding the words. Once the plane had arrived she hurried and got

her things calling a taxi to take her back to PCA.

As the school grew closer, Zoey began to get more nervous. She had not planned on what she

was going to tell people, when she was asked why she was back. Her butterflies became more

evident when the taxi came to a stop in front of the school. She got out of the taxi slowly

wondering who would be the first to run into her. This question was answered quickly when she

heard someone call her name. She turned to see Lola and Quinn running up to her and hugging

her.

"What are you doing back?" Quinn asked. She didn't want to waste time with chit chat. She just

wanted to find Chase as soon as she could.

"Wheres Chase?" she asked.

"He's in his dorm, but why?" said Lola as Zoey began to walk away.

"Would you mind taking my stuff to the dorm?" she asked stopping only for a second.

"Yeah, no problem." Lola yelled to her as she continued to walk towards Chase's dorm. She

noticed others give her strange looks as she rushed through the crowds. She didn't stop and

ignored the calls of other students.

She had finally reached Chase's dorm, and she stood in front of the closed door trying to think of

what she was going to say. Just as she was about to open the door, Logan walked out. He looked

up at Zoey with surprise and she covered his mouth before he could say anything.

"I will explain later." she whispered. He nodded and she let go of him. He began to walk away,

then looked back at her as she entered the room.

Chase was sitting alone staring out the window. She walked into the room further before

speaking.

"Chase?" she said making him jump. He wheeled around and stared right at her.

"Zoey?" he asked surprised. "What are you doing back?"

"I realized that what I truly want is here." she said stepping closer to him.

"What do you mean?" he asked unsure what she was talking about. She walked over to the lab

top and picked up Michael's web cam that was sitting on top of it. He looked at Zoey and then to

the web cam.

"You heard what I said." he said realizing what had happened. "Thats why Michael and Logan

wanted to talk to me."

"I guess." she said putting in on the table and looking at Chase. He stared silently at her trying to

read her thoughts. She stepped closer and kissed him. He was taken by surprise but immediately

put his arms around her waist kissing her back. They heard clapping and pulled apart looking at

the door. Michael, Logan, Lola, and Quinn stood in the doorway. They both smiled.

"Well its about time!" said Michael as the others nodded their heads in agreement.

"So I guess your not going to live in London." said Lola.

"No. " said Zoey looking at Chase. "I'm staying right here."
