When The Past Comes Back
3 Years after PCA Graduation: Year 2012
It was 5 in the afternoon and Zoey Brooks was watching America Sings With Lola Martinez, while Michael went for some groceries. The three of them decided to rent an apartment since they were enrolled at Howard University in Washington DC.
"Wow. Who do you think is going to win Zo? Martha or Laura?". Lola asked as she grabbed some popcorn.
"I don't know. Martha has an Opera kind of voice, but still sounds great and Laura is more of a country singer. She has the voice of Taylor Swift, so it's very hard to chose one". Zoey replied looking at her friend. Just then Zoey's phone started ringing.
"Who's calling?". Lola asked.
"It's an unknown number". She replied and answered the phone.
"Hello?".
"Hey Zo! It's me Dustin!". Dustin said.
"Dustin how are you? It's been so long since I had a call from you?". Zoey excitedly asked.
"I know right, anyways Zoey I need you to come to California".
"Why?".
"Because I need to talk to you, it's a matter of life or death! I already arranged your plane tickets, along with Michael's and Lola's. The only thing you need to do is, go to the airport and tell them that you all have some plane reservations, but you need to leave now! I'll see you when you get here, bye". The line went dead and Lola turned to see Zoey.
"What happened with Dustin?". She asked.
"I don't know, but he wants us to fly to California, right now". Zoey replied.
"Is he okay?".
"Well he said it's a matter of life or death, so I'm guessing he's in a bad situation".
"But we don't have enough money to buy plane tickets to California".
"He told me that he already reserved some plane tickets for me, you and Michael. We have to go". Zoey said standing up.
Michael then entered the apartment with 2 bags of groceries.
"I'm back girls!". He yelled in excitement. He went to the table and place the bags on it.
"So what's new?". He asked
"We're flying to California". Lola said turning to see him.
"Really?". He smiled as he approached the girls.
"Yeah, apparently Dustin is in deep trouble, so he made plane reservations for us to fly right now". Zoey explained.
"He paid for our plane tickets?". Michael raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know but we have to pack. Dustin might be in real danger, come on!". Zoey said as she and Lola rushed to their room's. Michael nodded and approached to the TV.
"And our winner is... Martha Schneider!". The announcer said.
"What!? The opera chick! What's wrong with Laura! She's could be the new Taylor Swift!". Michael yelled at the TV.
"Michael! Hurry!". The girls yelled.
"I'm coming!". Michael turned to TV off and ran to his room.
They all got ready and Michael called a cab for them to get to the airport. The drive didn't take that long, so when they arrived at the airport, they got their tickets and boarded the airplane. They fortunately had been assigned to sit on the same aisle. It was a 3 hour flight and during that time Zoey was reading a book, Lola was looking at her phone, and Michael has sleeping like a baby. When they landed, they looked for Dustin everywhere, but there was no sign of him.
"Zoey? Did Dustin tell you he was going to pick us up?". Michael asked looking around.
"He only said "I see you when you get here". Zoey said.
"Call him". Michael suggested and Zoey dialed Dustin number, but there was no answered. She tried a couple of more times but she got the same response.
"Okay, so he's not responding. Why don't we search for him outside". Michael commented and the girls nodded grabbing their suitcases and walking behind Michael as he leaded the way. When they exited the airport, they decided to take a walk, to see if Dustin was around. They walked for a couple of minutes, but Dustin wasn't around, so they decided to go back. Michael suggested to take a short cut, by taking an alley.
"Michael are you sure this is going to take us back to the airport". Zoey asked.
"Yes, just follow me and you'll see that...". Michael began but stopped as he saw that it was a dead end.
"That I was wrong". Michael looked at the girls, who crossed their arms.
"Okay let's head back". He said turning around but stood shocked and still as he saw what was behind them.
"What!?". Lola said as she turned, just to be as surprised as Michael. Zoey quickly turned and backed away from they 3 gangsters who smiled at them.
"Y'all seem a little lost". Their leader, the one in the middle said.
"Aren't you!". One of the guys yelled as he approached Michael.
"Lost!? We're not lost!? We're just...".
Michael didn't get to finish, because one of the gangster grabbed him by the neck and pushed him to the wall, hitting his head hard.
"Don't you dare lie to us, because we'll kill you!". The guy said and punched Michael in the stomach.
"Ugh!". Michael grabbed his stomach.
"So guys, I see we have some treats here.". The one in the middle told his pals as they got closer to the girls. The leader pined Zoey to the wall, and leaned in, teasing Zoey with a kiss as she resisted while the other one did the same to Lola.
"Hey!". Someone shouted behind them. They gangsters turned around and saw a good looking guy, with a black leather jacket and dark jeans.
"Who dares and interrupt us from our dates here?". The one of the guys asked as he came towards the stranger.
Dates? Those dates look terrified at the three of you Tell me. Who's the lucky one who going to take the guy over there?". The stranger asked looking at Michael who was leaning against the wall trying to stand up.
"Are you calling us gay! Oh you don't know who your messing with". One of the guys said as he took Chase by his jacket.
"Wait John! I know who this guy is. This is Chase Matthews... Long time to see dude!". The leader smiled as he let go of Zoey and came towards him.
"Chase?...". Zoey whispered and both Michael and Lola nodded and looked back at what was about to happen
Chase quickly brushed John off him. He fixed his jacket and looked at the gangster leader in front of him.
"Eric, you haven't changed at all. Your just waiting for someone to walk into your alley, so you can beat them up isn't that right?". Chase asked.
"Well you know the rules. If anyone walks in here, they ain't coming out the way they came in. We'll beat them up, or have a little fun with our guests". Eric, the leader said as he looked at Lola and Zoey.
"Yeah well, your not going to have your "little fun" with them anymore because they're coming with me, and if you have a problem with that, then you'll have to deal with it". Chase said looking directly into his eyes. He looked at his friends and motion them to come towards him, but as they approached, Eric snapped his fingers and John and the other guy blocked their way.
"Are you serious Chase? You decided to leave our gang to become the hero of the people? That's pretty pathetic, and you know what else is pathetic, you, when I beat the hell out of you!". Eric said as he punched Chase on the face and kicked him on the stomach. Chase fell down and calmly stood up again, whipping some blood off his face.
"Your still one of us Matthews, and this new you will forever be part of your life!". Eric's fist came rushing towards Chase, but he stopped him and instead took him by his shirt and pinned him hard on the concrete wall, grabbing his wrists.
"Your right. I'm still one of y'all, but I'm still grateful of this new me, you know why? Because I'm not that same loser, that kind, noble kid that once lived in me. I left the gang because you were holding me back, so I decided to walk away from you and your gang of mokeys, so I can be the leader of my life. Now, getting back into topic, I'm sure you like to throw another punch. Except I got both your wrists, and I'm as strong as a bull, I don't even work at it, I just am".
The two guys grabbed Chase by his back, but his leader motioned them to calm down and to step back.
"All that matters is what happens after you let go". Eric said.
"Yeah! I know it'd be simpler if we just start the fight. But I'm gonna tell you something, and you really need to hear this. In the end, you're gonna be the one on the ground, and I'm gonna be the one who walks away". Chase seriously said. Eric pushed him away, but before he could do anything, Chase threw two punches directly into his face, which made Eric stumble back. The other two guys grabbed Chase by the arms, but he elbowed both men as hard as he could and they grunted kneeling beside him, holding their now injured ribs. Michael then decided to join his old friend.
"I'm with you on this Chase". Michael told him and Chase gave him a small smile and turned to see Eric who backed off.
"Im gonna do you a favor. I'll let you keep your reputation. And I'd like you to let me keep mine. Otherwise the both of us are going to put you in a state of coma, and I know you don't want that to happen". Chase said and Eric looked at his two men and then back at Chase
"Okay, we'll step out, but this ain't over Matthews!". Eric said as his two man ran away, out of the alley.
"I know". Chase said as he and the rest follow him out of the alley. Michael, Zoey and Lola turned around and saw that Eric was following them, so they quicken the pace and got into Chase's car. They saw Eric getting out of the alley too, but didn't walk away. He leaned against the wall and watched them.
"Can we go? I don't like that guy looking at us like that". Lola, who sat in the passengers seat told Chase. He nodded and drove away.
"Thanks for saving us back there Chase". Michael thanked.
"About that. What were you guys doing, walking alone in a alley?". Chase asked looking at Lola.
"We just got here from Washington DC, apparently Dustin has some problems and wanted us to come here as soon as possible. He had already paid for the out planes tickets, so that's how we found ourselves here. We got off the plane, but we couldn't find Dustin, so we decided to take a walk outside the airport, to see if he was outside, but he still wasn't here. We decided to go back to the airport, and Michael decided to take an alley as a short cut". Lola explained.
"Short cut? Those places are dangerous, and now, with this experience that you all had, you'll want to think it twice before you go into another alley again". Chase said and Lola and the rest nodded.
"How I'd you find us?". Zoey asked as Chase looked at her by the rear view mirror.
"Well, Logan ask me to pick you up from the airport, but because of a traffic accident I got here late. As I parked outside of the airport I saw y'all walking on the sidewalk at the distance, so I decided to follow you, but for some reason I lost you, so I figure that you might have taken an alley, and that's how I found you". Chase explained, making a right turn.
"Wait! Did you say Logan ask you to come here? I thought Dustin wanted to talk to you?". Michael said as he turned to see Zoey.
"Look guys Logan didn't tell me any details. He just told me to pick you up, and take you to where we live". Chase said taking a gray square bottle and drinking some of it.
"What is that?". Lola asked curiously.
"Whiskey. Want some?". Chase offered.
"Yeah, why not!". Lola said with a smile. She grabbed the square bottle and took a little sip.
"Oh, My God! It's so sour!". Lola replied as she scrunched her face.
"Can I try some?". Michael asked and Chase nodded. Lola handed him the bottle and he drank some.
"Wow! This is strong stuff". Michael said as he coughed and coughed, giving the bottle back to Chase. He took it from him and took one last sip.
"You get use to it". Chase shrugged, putting the bottle away. He noticed that Zoey sat quietly, looking at the window.
"Sorry for not offering Zoey but I didn't think that you wanted this stuff". Chase apologized as he looked at her from the rear mirror.
"And you thought right, I don't like drinking". Zoey replied looking at him. They approached a really nice neighborhood, that had big and majestic houses. They drove to a big, monumental mansion and the 3 friends where pretty confused by now. Chase approached a black fence that had the capital letter R in the middle of it. Two security guys who were guarding, came up to Chase as he rolled his window down.
"Chase, welcome back. Have you gotten into some trouble lately?". One guard man questioned nicely.
"Just the usual Ron". Chase smiled as the gates opened.
"Well, you stay out of trouble kid, and have a nice rest of your day". Ron replied stepping back, so Chase could continue.
"We'll see about that". Chase said as he entered and parked in front of this enormous house. They all got off the car mouth open.
"You and Logan live here?". Michael asked shocked.
"Me, Logan and Quinn live here with Logan's Grandfather, Alan Reese. You see when Alan found out that we we're coming to study here in Los Angeles, he told us to stay in his mansion". Chase explained.
A butler came out the front door, towards Chase.
"Mr. Matthews, I was expecting you and your friends". Chancey said in his British accent.
"Chancey! Wow! Is great to see you again". Michael said as he went up to Chancey and hugged him tightly.
"Your... crushing...me...sir". Chancey struggled and Michael quickly got off him.
"Aren't you with Logan's dad all the time". Zoey asked.
"Indeed, but he's in his honey moon, so he sent me with his dad, Mr. Alan Reese". Chancey replied as they nodded.
"I have to get going. I have to get something for Mr. Reese, so I'll see you all later". Chancey replied as he walked right pass them. Chase leaded them to the front door and they all enter the mansion just to be more surprised. The place was amazing from the inside. As they looked around they notice a man coming down the stairs, along with Logan, Quinn and another girl.
"Guys! Welcome to Los Angeles!". Logan said as he came down and gave their friend's a hug.
"Its so great to see y'all again". Quinn added, also giving hugs.
"We're happy to see you too". Lola replied.
"Guys let me present you to my grandfather, Alan Reese". Logan said as he turned to the man standing to his left.
"Hey kids, I'm Alan Reese, but you all can call me Alan. I'm pleased to have you as my guests, so stay as long as you'll like". Alan said.
"Thank you so much... Alan, and don't worry we're not going to cause any trouble, we're here for my brother, who's in a situation". Zoey replied.
"Hope all turns okay. If you need anything, just ask me". Alan kindly told Zoey and she nodded.
They all turned to see the girl standing next to Quinn, who smiled warmly at them.
"Logan, who her?". Michael asked and Logan was about to respond, but Chase interrupted.
"I'll introduce her Logan". Chase said and Logan nodded. He went towards the girl and stood next to her.
"This here is my... Girlfriend, Lea". Chase introduced, wrapping his arm around her. Logan and Quinn looked discreetly at Zoey who just looked at her, with no emotion on her face.
"I'm so glad to finally meet you all. Quinn and Logan have told me everything about your adventures you had back at Pacific Coast Academy". Lea said.
"It's nice to meet our friends girlfriend, and I'm speaking from all of us". Michael replied as the girls nodded in agreement.
"Anyways. Logan? Where's Dustin?". Zoey asked changing the subject.
"He called me and told me that he had a problem, and he couldn't pick you guys up at the airport, and since I was still in class, I told Chase to do me the favor in picking you guys up". Logan told her.
"So you don't know here he is". She asked.
"No, but he told me that he was going to be here as soon as possible". Logan assured her.
"Dinner is about to be ready, so why don't you Logan and Chase help me bring the luggage back to their room's, while Quinn and Lea leads your guests to the dinning room". Alan said and everyone agreed. Chase kissed his girlfriend slightly on the lips, and followed Logan and Alan outside, while the girls and Michael headed to the dining room. When they got there, they sat around the table as the food started to arrive. Zoey had one question in mind and decided to find the answer to it.
"Lea, I heard you say that you heard about us from Logan and Quinn, but hasn't Chase talk to you about us too?". Zoey asked and Lea turned to see Quinn.
"He wasn't that interested in talking about his friends or his life at The Academy". Lea replied.
"If you mention, PCA or His Highschool friends to Chase, he leaves the conversation". Quinn said as he saw that Alan and the boys enter the dining room.
"Y'all haven't started eating yet?". Alan asked as he sat at the very end of the table. Logan sat next to Quinn and Chase next to his girlfriend.
"We wanted to wait for everyone to be at the table". Quinn replied.
"Well then, let's get started". Alan said as they all began to eat. They had a small conversation as they ate. Lola talked about her acting career, Michael talked about his architecture dreams and Zoey about his Fashion career. When they finished dinner, it was time for Lea to head home.
"I had a great evening with everyone, but it's time for me to go". Lea said as she stood up.
"Want me to drive you?". Chase asked standing up as well.
"Actually my mom is outside waiting for me. But I'll see you tomorrow". Lea responded placing a kiss on his cheek. She waved goodbye to the rest and exited the house.
"Its getting late, so why don't you Logan, Quinn and Chase lead our guests to their room's". Alan suggested.
"Great idea! Michael come with me". Logan said as Michael followed Logan up the stairs.
"Lola you come with me". Quinn quickly said as she grabbed Lola's arm and followed Michael and Logan. Chase who was looking at their friends acting all out of the normal, turned to see Zoey, who was looking at him.
"Then I guess I'll be taking you. Follow me". Chase told Zoey as she nodded and walked behind him. He leaded her up the stairs and into her room.
"Here it is". Chase opened the door for Zoey to enter. She looked at her surroundings and saw how well prepared the room had been. She took her cream jacket off and sat on her bed.
"I have to go. If you have any problems or concerns, Logan and Quinn's rooms are next door". Chase said as he started to leave but Zoey stopped him.
"Wait! Can I talk to you for a sec?".
He turned around, shocked by Zoey wanting to speak with him.
"Sure, it's like I don't have something else to do?". Chase replied as he entered her room and closed the door.
"It's going to be quick".
He leanned on her door and crossed his arms.
"What do you want to tell me?". He asked.
"When you were with Alan and Logan, carrying our luggage into our rooms, I had a small talk with your girlfriend. She told me that she heard from your friends at PCA, from Quinn and Logan but you never mentioned me or Lola or Michael to her... Why? Are you ashamed of having us as friends?". Zoey asked calmly as she stood up
Chase straighten himself up from the position he was in and walked towards Zoey until he was 3 feet away from her.
"I didn't mention anything to Lea about my life at PCA because it wasn't important. When I came here, to Los Angeles, I came with two things in mind. The first one was to continue pursuing my career as a writer. The second one was to start a new life here, the beginning of a new Chase and here I am". Chase replied.
Zoey thought for a couple of seconds, trying to digest what Chase had just told her.
"Did you change you appearance and attitude just because of the fight we had the last day at PCA?". Zoey asked.
"Like always Zoey, your absolutely right. That day, you tore my heart into tiny little pieces, and I want to thank you for that, you know why? Because you finally made me realize how much of an idiot I was being. How could I think that a girl as beautiful as you could like a loser Like me". Chase said as he turned away from Zoey and started walking towards the door. He stopped at the doorway and gave Zoey one last look.
"But as you see now, I'm not that sensitive, kind loser anymore, and I owe that to you. Thanks". Chase finished as he closed the door behind him, leaving Zoey on her own thoughts.
