Confessions: Part One

Dana walked briskly through the students as some wisely moved out of the way. She made it to room 101 slamming the door.

"AHHHHHHHCCCCCKKKKK!" She struggled to reign in her emotions. The door opened, revealing her friends. She picked up a pillow and threw it at the wall. The sky outside seemed to sympathize with her mood. It echoed her with a boom and crack. She picked up another throwing it at the wall again.

"Dana?" Quinn broke the silence. Dana seemed oblivious as she stared at the wall.

"Dana?" She tried again as Dana began pacing around the room mumbling under her breath. The group of friends just watched her pace around the room as Chase picked up the thrown pillows putting them back on one of the beds. He stood directly in the path of the angry girl.

"Chase..." Someone warned but his attention was zeroed in on Dana as she paced again bumping into him. He caught her in his arms before she fell backwards. "Dana?" He spoke, looking into her eyes. She seemed dazed at first then her eyes flashed dangerously. She moved out of his arms causing him to lose balance. He was oblivious to the fact he fell into Zoey as his eyes never left Dana's shaking form. Her fists were clenched at her sides as she narrowed her eyes, falling onto her bed throwing her arm over her eyes.

She removed her hand to look up as her bed moved slightly. Zoey. "Dana tell us what's wrong."

"I'm leaving PCA." Seeing Zoey flinch at her tone, she sighed before talking more calmly, "My dad got a job in France and it would be hard to keep switching back and forth between here and France." She ended in a whisper as Quinn and Nicole moved to sit next to Zoey. Logan and Michael had moved closer to her bed but stayed standing. Chase had moved closer as well but knelt down to Dana's eye level. She avoided looking at him as an uproar renewed around her. She covered her head with her pillow as her friends obliviously talked louder. The uproar didn't seem to phase Chase. He merely studied Dana. He reached out to touch her hand covering the pillow as she tensed peeking out. She went back under her pillow to avoid his piercing gaze withdrawing her hand. As soon as the uproar died down, the guys headed to their dorm.

Sleep didn't come easy for the occupants of Brenner Hall room 101 and Maxwell Hall room 148. They seemed to make an unspoken pact. Dana woke up surprisingly early on a Saturday morning to an empty dorm room. She was leaving tomorrow. She covered her head with her pillow muffling her scream of frustration before slowly getting up. She spent most of the day packing up her things, surprised nobody came in to check on her. And shockingly hurt, more so than she would have thought. She had everything packed and was moving it all into a pile, oblivious to someone quietly entering the room. She screamed out as a blindfold was placed over her eyes.

"Dana. It's me." She calmed down at the voice as they helped her up leading her out of the room. They walked for sometime until they stopped and the blindfold was removed. She blinked seeing nothing but darkness before realizing she was in a dark room.

"Zoey, what's going-" The light flashed on, her friends surrounding her. A banner was up by the window, "We'll miss you Dana!" She fought back the emotions threatening to choke her as she was swarmed in hugs. She played along mingling with people before excusing herself heading outside.

A girl walked across the PCA campus finding herself in a familiar hallway. She began to pace as thoughts swarmed in her head. She despised her parents, they were never really there to begin with. Technically they were there and around but they weren't there. And now these people wanted her to move away from her friends, her home. She stormed in the hallway before bumping into something. Scratch that, someone.

Her eyes flashed as she shoved them against the wall, pinning them under that Dana stare. Chase watched her as emotions flashed everywhere across her eyes.

"Matthews, watch over those idiots." He raised his eyebrow, fighting a smile.

"I will Dana." He didn't try to break free. Something told him to wait. And he did.

"Tell her." His surprise was evident.

"Tell who what?"

She shoved him gently, "Tell her."

Understanding flashed in his eyes as he caught her off guard. Before she could even blink, she found herself pinned against the wall.

He spoke with fire, "Tell her what?"

Her eyes matched his, yet hiding her awe at him standing up to her. "Tell Zoey you love her."

His hands twitched on her arms before slowly adding a little more pressure. "I'm getting a lecture on love from Dana Cruz."

Her response was immediate as she moved pinning him to the floor, "I know more than you think, Chase." She hissed above him. "Tell her. Promise me you will." There was a note of vulnerability in her voice. He wasn't dumb enough to voice that though.

He watched her. The look he was giving her made her extremely uneasy. He flipped them around. "I will." She relaxed in his hold. "If you tell him." He knew he was pushing her.

She looked at him disbelievingly before narrowing her eyes, "Tell who Matthews?"

Chase ignored her Matthews. No matter how hard she tried to hide it, she cared. "I know what it's like to be scared-"

"I'm not scared!"

Her ire sparked as she was completely ignored. "I know what it's like to be afraid, Dana. Tell him." He released her and entered the room. Dana could only remain frozen on the floor.
