"This is so fancy, you really didn't have to" Nicole blushed, as Michael pulled out the seat for her to sit on.
"I wanted to, you deserve it" He smiled.
"You know I was wondering how many stupid guys I had to date until I found the right one, I'm so happy you finally asked me out" Nicole said perkily, grabbing a menu.
"Woah girl watchu mean finally?" Michael asked confusedly, grabbing a menu as well.
"Well I've liked you since like last year" Nicole admitted.
"Really?" Michael asked.
She nodded her head.
"Then why didn't you say something?" Michael asked astonishedly.
"I'm a girl" She replied simply.
"Wow girls are complicated" Michael sighed.
"We're also a lot of fun" Nicole smiled coyly.
"Yea, well I'll just have to find out first hand then huh?" Michael asked rhetorically.
"Yup" Nicole winked.
XOXOXO
Dana woke up to the sounds of her roommates' gay music playing on their surround sound stereo. Turning over she looked at her clock, it was 8!
"Babe, wake up" Dana prodded.
"What happened?" Logan asked sleepily.
"It's like 8:30!" Dana exclaimed.
"So?" Logan asked confusedly, rubbing his eyes.
"So you need to get out of here, its past curfew!" Dana said, pulling on some shorts and spaghetti strap tank top.
"Oh shit" Logan responded, realizing what she was talking about.
"Yea and let's try to get you out of here with out Zoey and Lola noticing, otherwise I'll be hearing about this for the next week" Dana said, smiling a little.
"Okay, okay" Logan sighed, pulling on pants.
"Where's my shirt?" He asked.
"I have it" Dana answered simply.
"Well give it to me" Logan said, giving her a weird look.
"I wanna keep it" Dana pouted.
"Why?" Logan asked confusedly.
"Because I just do" Dana shrugged, putting her arms around his neck.
"Fine" Logan said, pulling on his wife-beater, he wore it under his black button up shirt that Dana insisted on keeping.
"Okay I think its all clear" Dana whispered, sticking her head out of her bedroom door.
"Jeez, next time we're having sex in my suite" Logan mumbled.
"C'mon" Dana said, grabbing his hand and leading him to the door.
"I feel used" Logan joked.
"Shut up you big baby" Dana smiled, kissing him.
"Dana, I love you" Logan said.
"Wait, you what?" Dana asked, her eyes wide open, her breath caught in her throat.
"I said I love you" Logan repeated.
"No, no y-you don't, Logan" Dana stuttered. Logan couldn't possibly love her, that's what he said right before he...no it was too painful to think about.
"Dana, I just said I loved you and you say…" Logan urged, now becoming a bit embarrassed and a little annoyed.
"I, I can't" Dana cried running into her room.
What the hell I tell the girl I love her and she cries!?
Logan walked out of there, not caring who saw him at this point, to hell with Cocoa and the curfew, you know what to hell with Dana, she obviously wasn't into him like that and he didn't care anymore, taking out his phone from his back pocket, Logan went through his list of contacts, pausing at one name Brooke, smiling, he pushed the call button and let the bell ring.
XOXOXO
"Dana, my love where are you" Zoey called, in a sing song voice. She wanted all the dirty details about what happened between her and Logan. Opening the door to Dana's room, she found her best friend lying face down on her bed.
"Dana I wanna know-
But Zoey immediately stopped seeing Dana's tear stricken face.
"Oh my god Dae, what happened?" Zoey asked, running over to her and sitting on the bed. Dana barely ever cried so Zoey knew it must be serious, the only other time was when Jason…never mind.
"He told me he loved me" Dana wailed, her tears just flowed incessantly down her cheeks.
"Who honey?" Zoey asked.
"Logan, he said he loved me and I just stood there Zoey I can't, not now" she choked out.
"Logan's different Dae, Jason was the biggest pervert in the world and I swear Logan would never do that to you sweets, you know that" Zoey said softly, running her fingers through Dana's hair.
"I can't Zoe, it's too much" Dana whispered.
"Maybe you should-
"No I'm not going to tell him" Dana interrupted.
"Okay, okay" Zoey said.
XOXOXO
"Logie bear, I'm so glad you called" A shrill high pitched voice said on the other side of the phone.
"Yea, so wut's up?" Logan asked coolly, walking into his suite.
Mike's still not back yet, he must've gotten lucky, that dog…wait a minute it's Nicole!
"Did you hear what I said?" Brooke asked.
"No" He replied truthfully.
"I asked if you broke up with that whore Dana?" She asked again.
"Don't call her that" Logan said angrily.
"Okay sorry, but did you?" Brooke asked again.
"Does it matter?" Logan asked back.
"Now that you mention it, no" Brooke giggled.
"Good" Logan said.
XOXOXO
"This was soo much fun Mike" Nicole said honestly, as they got back in his car.
"I'm glad" He replied, leaning over and kissing her.
Girls just wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna-
"Hello" Nicole answered perkily.
"Hey Nikki, where are you we kinda have a situation here" Lola's voice said over the phone.
"What's wrong" Nicole asked.
"Dana and Logan-
"Had a fight" Nicole finished.
"No I think they broke up, she's in real bad shape" Lola said worriedly.
"That asshole, don't worry I'll stop and rent the Notebook, Titanic and 10 things I hate about you and some popcorn and we'll cry our eyes out" Nicole told her.
"Okay good, by the way is Mike with you?" Lola asked.
"Yup why?" Nicole asked.
"Just asking" Lola shrugged.
"Okay I'll see you in a bit and on my way I'll see if I can slash that stupid bastard's tires" Nicole said menacingly.
"Wait its not-
Lola tried to explain, but it was too late, Nicole had already hung up.
"Hopefully she wont do something stupid" Lola sighed, before going back into Dana's room.
XOXOXO
"So I'll see you tomorrow?" Brooke asked hopefully.
"You know it babe" Logan replied, hanging up the phone.
"So you and Dana, things are going good?" Chase asked, grabbing a soda.
"That wasn't Dana" Logan shrugged.
"Oh, WHAT!?" Chase exclaimed.
"You're cheating on Dana!" He yelled, anger boiling in his veins, Dana was one of his best friends, Logan can't treat her like all the other girls, Dana's special.
"No, we're just not together anymore" Logan said coolly.
"And your fine with that?" Chase asked incredulously.
"Yes I am" Logan responded, getting up and heading for his room.
"Wait what happened?" Chase called.
But Logan already went into his room, he didn't bother giving Chase a response, because then he'd feel even worst. The truth was he wasn't fine that he and Dana weren't together, in all reality it was killing him inside, but he couldn't be with her after he made an idiot out of himself telling her how he really felt, that's the last time he would take advice from Nicole!
All I need in this life of sin
Just me and my girlfriend-
Logan flipped open his phone then flipped it shut again before he turned it off. Making a mental note to change his ringer for Dana.
Turning off the light Logan got into his bed, trying to forget the fact that he had no feelings what so ever for Brooke, unless it was of annoyance, and trying to forget that he still loved Dana, even if she didn't feel the same.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"DANA, HOW ARE YOU NOT DRESSED YET!?" Zoey yelled shaking Dana.
"Please Zoey get off me" She said.
"Honey, I know you're sad, but you're only gonna get more depressed if you sit at home, keep yourself busy, I swear it'll get better" Zoey consoled, rubbing Dana's back.
"Zoey I can't, he told me he loved me, Logan Reese told me that he loved me and I respond by running away" Dana sobbed. Her eyes were bloodshot and puffy, her face was pale and sickly, her hair was messed up and straggly and she had no appetite, she couldn't sleep all night.
"I know that Jason, well hurt you but sweetie Logan is different, he would never try to take advantage of you like that" Zoey said softly.
"I just can't, the way I feel about Logan it scares me, I've never cared about one person more in my whole life, I swear Zoey it feels like love, but how can I be sure Logan isn't going to hurt me, I just don't want to feel like I did before, used and unloved" Dana whispered in all honesty.
"Logan would never" Zoey smiled.
"I just can't face him yet Zoe, you go on, I'll probably come in late, besides maybe I'll catch some sleep" Dana said weakly.
"You sure?" Zoey asked.
"Yea" Dana nodded, giving her a feeble smile.
"Call me if anything, I'll come back" Zoey said seriously, getting up.
"Okay" Dana responded, lying back into bed.
With in a few minutes the whole suite was quiet, her three best friends had left for class and she was alone.
Logan's different, Logan's different, Logan's different…Zoey's voice echoed in Dana's head. Dana closed her eyes and tried to block it out….
FLASHBACK
It was the middle of her Sophmore year, Dana was dating a guy named Jason Dormer a senior, he was sweet, smart and really sexy. Logan hadn't spoken to her in three weeks, about the time her and Jason started dating, coincidence? I don't think so…
"So babe there's this awesome party going on right now in my friend's dorm, we have to go" Jason urged.
"I don't know, I don't feel that well" Dana said truthfully.
"C'mon don't ruin the fun, let's just go" He said again, with more force.
"Fine, Jay if you wanna go that bad let's go" Dana said giving in.
"Score" He said, pumping his fist in the air.
The music was loud and distasteful, the people drunk and loud, and Dana was extremely uncomfortable.
"Dude you came!" A guy came up to Jason and hi-fived him.
"Why would I miss the party of the year Mike" Jason smiled, taking some punch.
"This is spiked right?" Jason asked with a grin.
"Why wouldn't it be" The guy named Mike responded grinning right back.
"Here babe" Jason said, giving a cup to Dana.
"Oh well thanks" Dana said awkwardly, looking around to see anyone she recognized.
Turning around she noticed Jason was gone, where, she had no clue.
Feeling alone and very uncomfortable now, Dana took a seat on the couch and spilled her drink into the plant next to her.
"Babe, where have you been" Jason asked, coming over to her a half hour later.
"I'm going home" Dana said angrily.
"No wait why?" He asked running after her, he was really drunk at this point.
"Because I'm not having any fun and I'm really pissed at you!" Dana yelled making her way through the field.
"Stop being such a bitch" He yelled back, grabbing her wrist.
"Let go" Dana commanded.
"No" Jason said, pulling her close to his body.
"Jason stop, let me go!" Dana said, a little louder.
"I don't want to I want you right here where I can hold you and kiss you" Jason smirked, crashing his lips on hers.
"JASON STOP!" Dana screamed, as his hands went up her shirt.
"You want it, don't resist" Jason groaned, ripping, off her shirt.
"PLEASE HELP!" Dana screamed trying her hardest to get away.
"Shut the fuck up you little slut" Jason hissed, covering her mouth with his hand.
Going towards his dorm, Chase heard a scream, he didn't know who it was but he knew it was a girl, and she was clearly in trouble, doubling back Chase began sprinting down the field where he saw two shadows, one was struggling. Fastening his pace Chase ran towards them.
"Umpf" Dana tried screaming but it was no use, she bit his fingers.
"Ah you fucking bitch" He cursed, smacking her.
Chase got so close he could see it was Dana and her boyfriend.
"Get the fuck off her you jackass" Chase yelled, punching Jason in the face.
"Ow, Matthews you little bitch, watch how bad I'm gonna fuck you up" Jason threatened, holding his nose.
Dana fell to the floor, in shock of what just happened, tears were welling up in her eyes staring at her ripped shirt and torn skirt Dana tried covering herself up, watching-
"AHHH!" Dana screamed waking up from the horrible nightmare she had about the night she almost got raped by her then boyfriend.
Crying she dialed Chase's number, knowing that because it was 12 o'clock already the gang would be at lunch.
"Hello" Chase answered.
"Chase thank god, I wanted to thank you again for what you did for me that night last year" Dana said softly, tears dripping on to her phone.
"What? Oh with Jason, Dae I told you I would do it a hundred times over for you" Chase smiled.
"I'm really glad I have you as a friend Chase" Dana said honestly.
"Ditto" Chase agreed.
"I just, I mean I'm sure you heard about what happened between me and Logan, I mean he's really mad, wont even answer my phone calls and I just it made me think because like-
"Dana I understand, even though you're rambling I get it" Chase said, smiling.
"Hey am I keeping you from anything?" Dana asked timidly.
"No way D I always got the time for you" Chase said truthfully.
"Thanks, can I ask you a question?" Dana asked.
"Shoot" Chase replied.
"Is, is Logan with anyone right now?" Dana asked quietly.
"I um, no" Chase lied, he felt a pang of guilt as he did but he couldn't risk hurting Dana anymore then she was hurt right now, she needed to find out from someone like Logan or at least Zoey, maybe she would understand more.
"You sure?" Dana asked skeptically.
"Positive, oh wait here Zoe practically begging for the phone" Chase said, handing Zoey the phone.
"Dana Cruz, you said you would definitely come to school later on, where are you?" Zoey asked.
"I said I might, please Zoey I just I can't face him right now" Dana sighed, lying back in her bed.
"You want me to come over there; we'll put on a movie or something, hmm?" Zoey offered.
"No it's fine, I'll see you when you get here" Dana said.
"Okay sweetie, when I get back we're going shopping" Zoey decided.
"Sure" Dana smiled.
XOXOXO
"LOGAN YOU ARE THE BIGGEST JERK IN THE WORLD, DANA IS SITTING IN HER BEDROOM CRYING HER EYES OUT WHILE YOU'RE HEAR WITH THIS CHEAP WHORE!" Zoey yelled, going over to the table Logan and Brooke were sitting at.
"Zoey please, take your drama some where else" Logan shrugged.
"No fucking way, you girl with the eating disorder go make yourself scarce, me and pretty boy need to talk" Zoey said venomously, shooting death glares at Brooke as she talked.
"I soo don't have a disorder, it's just a metabolism thing, maybe you should try being bulimic though I think you need it" Brooke said bitchily, picking up her half eaten apple and walking away.
"What's up Zoey?" Logan asked calmly.
"You are the biggest dick in the universe, Dana is crying and miserable and you're here with her! I honestly thought you changed Logan, I really did, I wanted to believe that you were a much better person then you were 3 years ago when we met, I wanted to be able to say Logan Reese is a true friend, but you you're the same self absorbed jerk you always were and always will be" Zoey said desperately, trying to remain calm.
"You have no idea what happened, I'm sure Dana made me look like that bad guy and I'm sorry if saying I Love Your made me the bad guy, but whatever" Logan spat.
"Look, I'm sorry I blew up I know she probably hurt you just as bad, it's just you're way of coping is very different from hers and Dana really doesn't think you guys are free to see other people, and Brooke of all girls I mean Logan even you can do better" Zoey sighed.
"I'm not going to talk about this anymore, Dana doesn't know how she feels and I don't have time for that, I'm not hurt, I'm Logan Reese and I'm doing what I do" Logan said coldly, turning away from Zoey.
"You're hurt even if you wont admit it, you are and you need her, even though you can't admit that either, you'll realize it soon enough Logan and then it'll be too late" Zoey said, a sad smile on her face, as her and Logan walked in opposite directions.
"Zoey, wait!" Logan yelled.
"What Logan, what?" Zoey asked exasperatedly as the first bell rang.
"When Dana makes up her mind, tell me, maybe I'll give her a call" Logan said scratching the back of his head, then walking away.
"What am I messenger girl" Zoey mumbled to herself, running to make her next class.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2:30 pm:
Dana knew that school had been out for at least twenty minutes, going over to the computer she signed on, knowing Logan would be on; maybe he would talk to her.
LatinMami: Please talk to me
PCAballer: No
LatinMami: Logan I'm Sorry.
PCAballer has signed off.
Dana sighed in aggravation, hearing her friends coming inside she realized they sounded happy, and that was because they didn't have all this shit in their lives, and sure they felt for her and tried to the best of their abilities to console her, they couldn't actually feel for her.
Dana you've been independent for so long, remember what that feels like, you don't need Logan he was just a distraction anyway
One voice in Dana's head said, for a second she agreed, then another one began talking.
Before Logan there was Jason and Jason treated you like crap, Logan has always been there for you and the biggest mistake he made was saying I Love You, you can't persecute the guy for that…
The other one said, she liked the sound of that one. At that exact moment Zoey, Lola and Nicole came into her room, each of them hugging the life out of her.
"Logan no sabe lo que él desea, él es un cerdo egoísta estúpido, yo desea batir la mierda fuera de él" Lola said very fast in spanish.
"Thanks Lola" Dana smiled, Zoey and Nicole on the other hand were staring at the two of them, utterly confused.
"Guess we know why the both of you take Italian as a foreign language" Dana laughed.
"Except neither of us are good at Italian, it sucks because you and Lola can take Spanish and ace it while all of us who a unilingual have to settle for barely passing" Zoey complained.
"Well that's why being Dominican rocks, Dominican parents would practically disown you if you couldn't speak Spanish" Lola smirked.
"I'm sure Puerto Ricans are the same, eh Dana?" Lola asked.
"Oh hell yea" Dana agreed.
"So Dana are you okay? Like about the Logan situation?" Nicole asked, a little stupidly.
"Um I guess, when people aren't talking about it I'm even better" Dana said, staring at her hands.
"Sorry" Nicole apologized.
"Don't worry about it, thanks for being concerned" Dana said with a tiny smile.
Zoey thought this might be a good time to mention her talk with Logan but then she would have to say something about Brooke and well she didn't want to upset Dana right as soon as she was beginning to feel just a little bit better, quickly deciding against it another thought came into her head.
"We still have to go shopping" Zoey said breaking the temporary silence.
"Would you mind if I said not today, I mean I'm kinda not really ready and I think I'm going to go see Logan" Dana said truthfully.
"Wait but why?" Zoey asked.
"We need to talk and I can't keep hiding from it, I wanna clear the air" Dana decided.
"Did you give this a lot of thought?" Lola asked.
"Not really but I know I have to" Dana said, half trying to convince them and half trying to convince herself.
"Um okay" Zoey said unsurely.
"Yea, I'm going to talk to him" Dana said surely this time, running over to her closet and picking out an outfit. Pulling out a pair of cut off denim Hollister shorts and a white Hollister tank top. Shooing her friends out of the room, Dana changed her clothes and put up her hair, her straight forehead length bangs falling at the side of her face. Running two fingers over the dark red mark right above her collar bone Dana smiled to herself, it was from yesterday when her and Logan made love.
How can things go from being so great one minute and turn into such crap the next!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dana knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer, when no one did she just let herself in, cautiously looking around, in case someone was holding the boys hostage or something.
"Dana!" Chase exclaimed behind her, Dana jumped.
"Chase Matthews you scared the crap out of me!" Dana said loudly, holding her hand to her heart.
"Sorry Dae" Chase smiled, hugging her.
"It's cool chasey poo, is Logan home?" Dana asked.
"Yea but-
"I know he's mad but don't worry he'll come around" Dana called heading to Logan's room.
"Dana wait!" Chase called, but it was too late she already turned the knob.
What Dana saw on the other side of the door, she'd never be able to erase from her mind. Logan with Brooke on top of him, both their shirts off. Noticing the door open Logan turned around, he saw Dana standing there and pushed Brooke off of him, but it was too late.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
