Chapter 7

Logan was at the hardware store looking at paint. He grabbed his phone and called Quinn.

"Hi Mom," Logan said. "They don't have light orange but they have dark orange. Okay, I'll get that. Yes, I'll stop and get you a glazed donut. Okay, love you too. Bye."

Chris walked over to Logan.

"Hey Landon," Chris said.

"It's Logan," Logan said.

"Why did I think it was Landon?" Chris asked.

"I don't know," Logan said.

"So you're probably wondering what Chris Keller is doing here," Chris said.

"I really don't care," Logan said. "I don't like you."

"Chris Keller really messed up bad," Chris said. "I left the door unlocked at the ocean front property and some jerk came and stole all our tools and spilled paint everywhere. So I'm going to fix the place up and surprise Haley."

"What part of I don't like you do you not understand?" Logan asked.

"So anyway," Chris said. "How was Edinburgh a few months ago?"

"I was in London," Logan said. "It was fun. I'd love to go back someday."

"I'd love to visit Canadia," Chris said.

"Goodbye," Logan said as he grabbed the paint and walked off.

Later that night at the ocean front property, Chris and Chuck finished painting and laying down the tile.

"What do you think?" Chris asked.

"I think you did a great job," Chuck said.

"Me too," Chris said. "Thanks for helping. Now let's go home."

"I'm so ready to go home," Chuck said. "I recorded 'The Julius House'."

"That's my boy," Chris said.

Haley walked into the building.

"I just came to let you know that…" Haley started to say before seeing what Chris and Chuck did.

"I can't believe this," Haley said. "This looks nice."

"Chris Keller wanted to make up for what he did," Chris said.

"Thank you," Haley said.

"Just don't touch the walls," Chuck said. "The paint is still wet."

"Okay," Haley said. "Thank you."

Chris and Chuck left the property and went home. They sat on the couch and watched "The Julius House".

"I'm so glad you recorded this," Chris said.

"Me too," Chuck said.

"Canadia is such a nice place to film movies," Chris said.

"Did you just say Canadia?" Chuck asked.

"Yeah," Chris replied. "Canadia."

"It's Canada," Chuck said.

"No it's not," Chris said. "It's Canadia."

Chuck began to laugh.

"Are you serious?" Chuck laughed.

"What?" Chris asked.

"Dude," Chuck said. "It's not called Canadia. It's Canada."

"You're joking," Chris said.

"No I'm not," Chuck said. "It's Canada."

"Why did I think it was Canadia?" Chris asked.

"I don't know," Chuck laughed.

"My whole life has been a lie," Chris said.

"It's okay," Chuck said. "It'll always be Canadia in your heart."

"So anyway," Chris said. "I ran into Logan at the hardware store."

"He doesn't like you," Chuck said.

"Why not?" Chris asked.

"Who knows," Chuck said.

"So only 2 more months before summer," Chris said. "Are you excited that you're going to be staying in New York with your mother the whole summer?"

"Yeah," Chuck said. "I'm not going."

"What?" Chris asked.

"I just don't want to," Chuck said.

"Why not?" Chris asked.

"I said I don't want to, so let's just leave it like that," Chuck said.

"No need to be hateful," Chris said.
