A/N: Up late in my dorm and I've really wanted to put this song in a fanfic for a really long time so here it is. Zoey 101 is not in… hence me being in college, and I Still… belongs to the Backstreet Boys.
Lasting Love
Twenty-five year-old Chase Matthews sat on his porch and sighed, thinking about never taking a chance on a young woman, he loved throughout high school and college and now she was living the perfect life. He was very happy for his best friend, but he wanted her to be happy with him, not that other guy, who really didn't treat her as well as she should be treated, but as long as she was happy, he was happy for her.
Twenty-four year-old Zoey Brooks, sat in her living room watching TV but not really paying attention to what was on, while her 2 year-old twins, Jake and Amber, were asleep in their bed. Six months before she gave birth to the twins, her husband of 6 months, left her with nothing and her friends, Logan and Dana Reese took her in to help her get back on the right track, and get a job. As she was sitting there, an advertisement came on for a benefit concert for some disease she couldn't even pronounce, but what she did hear is that Logan was putting it on and that the singers were only people he knew. So she decided to find a babysitter for the night of the concert and she was going to go to that concert.
'Maybe I'll get to see some old friends.' She thought to herself as she called Anna, the twins' babysitter.
Chase decided to go to Logan's little concert and sing to the one he still loved, and never stopped thinking about, but he couldn't think of what to sing. So he went to google and typed in the words "I still need you" and the word lyrics, and found I Still… by the Backstreet Boys, and decided to go for it.
At the Concert
"Thank you, Dustin, for that amazing show of courage," Logan said into the microphone after Dustin Brooks did 'A Complicated Song', by Weird Al, a parody of 'Complicated'. "Last, but not least," Logan said, letting the tension build. "Chase Matthews, singing, I Still… by the Backstreet Boys."
As Chase walked out on stage, Zoey got up and made her way up the stairs, toward the exit.
Chase saw this and began to speak "This song goes to the one I've loved since the day I hit that flagpole…" Zoey looked up, locked eyes with him, as he began to sing…
Who are you now?
Are you still the same
Or did you change somehow?
What do you do
At this very moment when I think of you?
And when I'm looking back
How we were young and stupid
Do you remember that?
No matter how I fight it
Can't deny it
Just can't let you go
As Chase started the chorus, Zoey couldn't take it as tears began to well up in her eyes, and she began to walk toward the stage.
I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you
Like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you
Now look at me
Instead of moving on, I refuse to see
That I keep coming back
And I'm stuck in a moment
That wasn't meant to last (to last)
I've tried to fight it
Can't deny it
You don't even know
That I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you
Like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you
Ohhhh
Wish I could find you
Just like you found me
Then I would never let you go (without you)
With Logan singing the lead Chase hit another octave, and Zoey went up on stage…
Though everything's been said and done (yeah)
I still feel you (I still feel you)
Like I'm right beside you (like I'm right beside you)
But still no (still no word) word from you
… and latched on to Chase as he finished his song, pulled his head down, and kissed him with more love than she ever kissed her ex-husband, as the crowd went crazy.
"I still need you, too, Chase." Zoey said, with tears running down her face.
