Second chapter up! By the way thanks for my first review tweetybaby :)


"Hey Chase!" I said whilst walking through the door looking for Logan, there was a closed suitcase against the wall.

"Oh hey Dana, where are Zoey and Nicole?" he asked sticking his head out of the door

"There just coming, Nicole's hair was 'frizzy'" I replied using air quotations "So Zoey's helping her."

"Okay, but they are coming right?" he sounded worried, it's cute when he's protective over Zoey

"Yeah, yeah! Now are you going to let me say bye to my boyfriend or what!?" I growled

"Wow, I hope not everyone's this cranky this morning!" he laughed while he made space for me to get through "Look ill leave you and Logan for a minute, come on Michael we'll go find the girls"

"Thanks." I said as they walked out the door

"Logan where are you?" I asked

"I'm in the bathroom!" came a muffled reply

I walked to the door and slowly turned the doorknob. What I saw behind the door shocked me. There sat Logan in the corner, crying.

"Dana is that you?" he asked without looking up

I walked towards him and crouched down to his level

"I don't want to go. I can't leave you" He whispered

"You have to. You're going to be doing your part to help protect the country and I will be so proud of you." I whispered back trying to hold back my own tears. He looked up and pulled me into his strong arms.

"You know that I love you and I will come back for you, don't you?" he asked

"Yeah"

"And when I come back we'll get married and buy a house and start a family…" he started

"And like happily ever after." I smiled as a single tear rolled down my cheek. He wiped it away with his thumb and turned my chin so that I was looking up at him. I kissed him gently on the lips.

"So you'll wait for me?" he asked after we'd kissed

"Of course! There's no other man I would rather spend my life with."

"Okay then Dana" he stopped and stood up and pulled me up with him. He rumbled around in his pocket and pulled out a black box. He knelt down on one knee and held my hand. "Dana, will you marry me?" he asked with a big smile on his face.

I stood there shocked for what seemed like hours. I couldn't believe it. If I said yes I would become Mrs.Dana Reese. It sounded beautiful.

"Dana" he asked with a confused look on his face

"Oh my god! Of course I will! Do you think I would really say no!" I laughed as tears ran down my cheek

"I love you too!" he said as he kissed me on the cheek and slipped the ring on to my small finger. The ring was beautiful it was platinum with a single large diamond in the middle. Engraved on the inside were four simple words 'Don't Ever Forget Me'

As we embraced in the middle of the bathroom floor the rest of the gang came in.

"Hey Logan, its time to go" Zoey said with a sad look on her face.

"Okay, come on" he replied as he held my hand and we walked out.

"I've got your suitcase dude no need to worry!" Michael laughed as Logan was searching round the room.

"Thanks man." Logan laughed.


Tears streamed down the girls faces as the Army Van pulled up onto the curb. The guys just both looked at me with pitying looks. I received a hug from everyone and left Dana till last. We hadn't told anyone about our engagement we decided Dana would tell them all later as a surprise to lighten the mood a little after my departure.

I walked up to her and held her in my arms, she looked up and a kissed deeply.

"I love you Logan Reese." She whispered in my ear.

"I love you too Dana Cruz." I whispered back.

She looked into my eyes. All of a sudden the vans horn beeped loudly. I let go of her and threw my suitcase into the van. I stepped in and wound down the window. I took one last look at my old home and the gang. Dana came up to the window as the van started to rev up. We started to drive off and Dana ran long the side crying.

"I love you!" she screamed "And I'll write to you!" then she stopped

The last thing I heard her say was "I'll never forget you!" At that I broke down and cried into my hands.

"You've got a nice girl there." Another guy in the van commented.

"No, she's the best." I whispered as I stared out the window at the passing countryside.

Okay I just wanted to clear that the gang aren't in PCA anymore. They left last year and there all 17/18 living in the same apartment block you know a bit like Friends.

I hope you liked the chapter. Please review.

Estranged.
