Chapter 6

Logan had spent two weeks two timing Lola and Dana and both girls were clueless so far. Poor Zoey was more depressed than ever. Plus Chase was starting to notice. The light was gone from her eyes; the smile gone from her face. She even spoke less. Lola and Dana were too in their on worlds to notice or to care. But Chase was determined to see what was up with Zoey. One Friday after classes were over, and Rebecca wasn't around, and Zoey was alone in her dorm, Chase dropped by. He thought they needed to talk. So Chase just barged into room 101 unannounced and what he found was very shocking. Zoey was wrapped in a bath towel, hair still dripping and water still running down her legs.

"Chase! You should really try knocking!" She ran back into the bathroom and she heard Chase yelling, Oh my gosh I am so so so so so so sorry, Zoey. But please don't kick me out because we really need to talk."

"Fine but wait till I'm dressed." When Zoey emerged from the bathroom she was not looking happy at all.

"Zoe, we really need to talk."

"Ok. Talk."

"Zoey, you haven't been happy at all really since I hooked up with Becky. What's wrong? Didn't you say you were happy for me?" Zoey was silent for a long time. She was contemplating whether or not it was a good idea to tell Chase the truth.

Zoey's POV

Well I may as well. If I lie to him again and then keep acting like this then it'll be pointless anyway.

"Alright Chase. Here's my problem. I'm jealous. It's always been about me and you. And no matter how much I told you, other people, and myself that we were just friends, deep down I always liked you more than that. And I always thought my friends were right whenever they told me how in love you were with me. It was just nice to know that I was your number one. And then you go and get this girlfriend and it seemed to me like I was being replaced because nothing ever happened between us."

"Zoey I am so sorry. I never meant for you to feel this way. But you're so good at covering your true feelings I didn't know what to believe about you sometimes. I've loved you for years Zoey and I still do. But I never took a chance because I thought that you were going to tell me that we were just friends. I asked you if you were okay with me having a girlfriend and you said everything was just fine with you. Zoey, you don't know how complicated you are sometimes. And the only reason that I started dating was because you showed no interest in me. I figured it wasn't meant to be. And it will always be about me and you and I'll never stop loving you." Chase was walking over to Zoey who was sitting on her bed. He took her hand and pulled her up, then kissed her. It was one of those desperate kisses that had waited for say, three years? And finally they broke apart before things got too far.

"Wait, Chase. I forgot you're married." said Zoey, snidely and the two started laughing.

"About that, Zoe. I want us to keep seeing each other. I want us to be a real couple and not one that we have to keep secret. So I have to get rid of Rebecca and then, that can happen. Just be patient, okay?"

"Ok."

"Well I'd better go." One more peck on the lips and Chase was gone. Zoey was definitely fully restored. The truth was told and in a way, it did set them free. They were now free of secrets and misunderstandings. It felt nice.

Chase's POV

Finally! After almost three years of keeping my love a secret. And it turns out she loves me too. This is definitely the best day of my life!

Zoey's POV

Yes! My friends were too right about Chase and I. We are a match made in Heaven. In your face Rebecca!
