"AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!! Zoey screamed walking through the door to 101 startling the gathering of friends. She never knew that love could be this hard.
"What is this all about?" Logan snapped. "I'm missing some quality mirror time."
"Well Chase is back and well I don't know what to do. I mean James is great but Chase could be that something special. What should I do?" Zoey sobbed.
Michael was the first to speak up "Chase loves you he always has so he will understand if you tell him about you and James."
"Well he kind of already knows, he saw us together." Zoey replied.
"James and you have been together for months." Logan stated "I mean he took the leap of faith and actually did something about his feelings. Something Chase never did. Well at least not to your face or on purpose."
"I know but Chase and I have had a special friendship that would have killed both of us if we destroyed that. I know that doesn't change anything but I can see why it was so hard for him." Zoey retorted.
"Come on guys Chase has been head over heels for Zoey since he first met her three and a half years ago that has to stand for something." Quinn snapped.
"Yeah I mean we all know Chase would go to the ends of the earth and beyond for the girl." Lola yelled.
Zoey had tuned out all of her friends she knew that this wasn't what she thought would happen. She had hopped they would all pick one of them and the decision would be made. But, they all make great points. She knew that she would have to make this decision on her own.
Quietly getting up while the group argued amongst themselves Zoey snuck out of the room without being seen. She had to be alone with her thoughts and she couldn't do that in the room filled with them. They couldn't really understand what she was going through the only ones that could she couldn't talk to about this. Not until she had her head wrapped around it.
"Hey where's Zoey?" Lola asked finally noticing she wasn't in the room with them.
"Maybe she needs to do this on her own." Michael replied. "Let's go to Sushi Rocks and leave her alone with her thoughts wherever she might be. The gang agreed leaving the room heading out for food.
When they finally made it to Sushi Rocks they noticed James sitting alone in a both in the corner looking concerned.
"Have you guys seen Zoey she was supposed to meet me here thirty minutes ago?" James asked worriedly.
"I don't think she will be able to make it but you can hang with us if you want. She has a lot going through her head and needs some time to herself to get it straight I know she will find you and explain it all when she understands it herself." Lola explained trying not to get to happy that she had blown off James to figure about what to do about him and Chase.
The group settled down for their dinner but there was an uncomfortable silence between all of them. They knew that it would all be over in a day or two. Well at least they hoped it would be.
"Well hey I need to go I have a project to finish." Michael said as he stood and made his way back to the dorms. When he finally made it to his dorm he found a note with his name on it. Picking it up and opening it he began to read.
Mike
Thanks for always being there for me. Things are a little weird right now so I need to get away. I don't know if I will be back next semester but I will stop in and see you if I can. Tell Zoey I will always be there for her and I understand. I never meant to make her cry or make this so hard on her maybe my leaving will make this all go away. My Mom and Dad will be happy to see me though.
Thanks
Chase.
"Man he has it bad for her. This must be tearing him apart inside." He mumbled to himself as the rest of the group minus James came through the door.
Noticing the look on his face Quinn asked "What's wrong?"
He handed them the letter and their expressions feel. "We can't tell Zoey it would make her decision even harder if she knew this is what it is doing to Chase." Michael said forcefully. They all agreed and headed their own ways.
She just walked around campus trying to make sense of what was going on in her life and she found herself standing face to face with the flagpole at the entrance. She couldn't help but smile a little at the memory this brought back. Everywhere she went around campus there were memories for her. As she kept having flashbacks of all the different things that had happened throughout the years she had spent at PCA none of them held the image of a blonde headed boy. They were all of a bushy headed boy that had gone halfway around the world for her. She thought that no matter how much love there was between her and James would he follow her to the other end of the world just to make amends with her? Would he look into her eyes and see her thoughts, fears and dreams not to mention her soul? She thought back to earlier that day and the look in Chases eyes and shivered it finally hit her he had meant everything to her. Why would she leave her decision over going to England up to what he thought? She sighed and knew what she had to do. Hopefully she hadn't waited to long and missed her chance but that would have to wait until tomorrow.
With her decision finally made a smile crept across her lips for the first time that day. The next day was going to be eventful but as for tonight she needed some sleep making it back to her room. She opened the door finding it empty but she shrugged it off falling into a deep peaceful sleep for the first time in a week.
Let me know what you think it makes me want to update faster. Thanks agian for all of the great reviews. I love hearing what you guys think.
