Hey! I'm just leaving a note because I think that for this particular chapter there should be music heard with certain parts of this. There's a part with Quinn that mentions Taylor Swift's Love Story. You should listen to that for the full effect. And I mention Free Fallin' the John Mayer version, listen to that too if you can. I think that these songs are perfect for Quogan! Please enjoy!!!
Chapter 7: Sweet October
"Dude! Do you realize how ridiculous you look?"
"I don't know how the heck to get this thing on; what do you expect?" Logan looked at Chase and Michael who were sitting on the couch in their dorm room, cracking up. Logan really couldn't blame them. He was wearing a "prince charming" costume, but the pants were a bit too tight and he had somehow managed to make them look like high waters.
"Dude." Logan closed his eyes and turned around, knowing that he wouldn't like what he saw. James was standing there with Zoey; both looked at Logan with amused faces.
"Please help him," Zoey said, turning to James.
"Trust me, I was planning on it," James said before busting out, laughing. Zoey smiled and blew a kiss to Chase before running off to her dorm.
"Man, you look messed up!" Michael laughed, walking over to pat Logan on the back in sympathy.
"I wouldn't talk Michael; your "pimpin' it in the city" outfit isn't that great either."
"That outfit is original and it looks good on me. Right, Chase?" Michael asked.
"Man, look. You're my best friend, but that costume is the dumbest thing I ever saw, well besides Logan."
"Haha," Logan said, rolling his eyes and turning to James. "So are you going to help me, or what?"
"Yeah, but then we help Michael," James said, turning to a clearly insulted Michael.
"That's fine; I'll just comfort myself with my clackers!" Michael said before stomping off. "Ow! I hate these things!" he screamed from out in the hallway.
*****************************************
"Quinn. Open the door!" Lola said. They'd been working on Quinn's outfit all day, and she and Zoey still needed to get ready themselves.
"I don't know, Lola. I mean, do you really think I can pull this off?" Quinn was feeling self conscious again. She hadn't even talked to Logan in days. What if he wanted to keep it that way?
"You'll be fine!" Lola said. Quinn took a deep breath and let Lola into the room. Zoey walked in behind her and stopped to gape at Quinn. She looked beautiful. Her hair was up in a curly, Cinderella-style bun with little sparkling crystals placed to perfection throughout it. She had a few strands oh hair coming down in long, loose curls that made her look even more beautiful. Her brown eyes where highlighted by a light, soft blue eye shadow. Her lips had a light pink gloss on them that left them looking natural and soft. She had two diamond earrings that softly dangled on her ears. Her shoes, which were covered by her dress, where white wedges with silver sequins running through them. Her dress was a long, flowing, white Cinderella dress that had the straps tied around to the back of her neck. A diamond necklace graced her neck in just the right way. The dress gave light to everything about her; her curves, her shyness, and her personality. It was perfectly Quinn. She looked at her friends, and blushed. Her cheeks were lightly blushed with pink blush. She held out her French manicured hands to her friends, and watched her blue and silver bracelet dangle on her wrist.
"Are you sure I look okay?" she asked, searching her friends faces.
"Yes," they answered simultaneously," you look perfect." They gave her a tight squeeze and set her down on the couch so that they could get ready.
*************************************
"Welcome to the Sweet October Dance!" the DJ announced. He looked at the screaming crowd in front of him, and was surprised to fine Stacey Dilson actually looking semi-normal. "Ok, then let's kick it!" And the music started to pound. Logan walked around PCA's ball room, obviously nervous. He was wearing a prince's outfit, and he didn't even know if Quinn wanted him back. He was sent into extreme sock when he felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned around to find Dana.
"Hey," she smiled. She was wearing a red dress that looked amazing. It was the kind of dress that you would find at Miss America Pageants, except it was a bit more revealing. She even had the red heels to match. "Do you want to dance?"
"Um, no thanks. I'm waiting for Quinn."
"Logan," Dana sighed," she doesn't feel the same way anymore. Why can't you accept that?"
"Because it's not the truth. And if she doesn't feel the same way, I will fight until she does. I'm not losing her."
"Logan. You have someone right here that does want you. You have someone that understands you and cares about you. You have me, Logan." Dana stared at him, waiting for him to do something.
"Dana, I love her." Logan said, surprised that Dana was acting this way.
"How much?" Dana asked before leaning into him. She held Logan's face, and kissed him passionately.
"That's it, you witch!" The loud sound of someone punching someone else as hard as they possibly can in the face, and an even louder scream filled the room. Everyone turned to see where all of the commotion had come from. They were surprised to find Lola Martinez standing over a Dana Cruz, who has holding her bloody nose.
"You…you punched me! What if it's broken?" Dana screeched at Lola.
"Oh, was that a present from your daddy?" She asked. "Too bad. Stay away from my friends. And if you ever do anything to upset Quinn again; I promise you I will shove my foot up your butt, and make sure that you really feel it!" Lola yelled at Dana, who was now glaring at her.
"You better watch it Martinez!"
"Or what? You'll mess me up? Yeah, why don't you try getting your nose fixed first?"
With nothing else to say Dana ran off, cursing PCA. She was not done with them, any of them.
****************************
It had been almost an hour since the dance had started, and Quinn hadn't gone in yet. She knew that her friends were waiting for her to come down, but she was too nervous. She closed her eyes and remembered last year's prom. Logan had announced to everyone that he loved her, and she had done the same. With that thought in her mind, Quinn began to walk into the room and down the stairs as Taylor Swift's "Love Story" began to play.
Walking down the steps, Quinn scanned the room. Everyone seemed to freeze. She looked down at the smiling faces of her friends and the star struck face of Logan. He looked at her with so much love in his eyes that she practically ran to him. When she reached the bottom of the steps, he was there to greet her.
"Hey," he said, smiling. He held out his hand, which she happily took and the two walked to the dance floor. Their friends immediately rushed over and greeted the two, showering both with compliments. Quinn, however, couldn't return them because she couldn't take her eyes of off Logan. He took prince charming to a whole new level. The prince attire looked better on him than it had on even Chad Michael Murray in a Cinderella Story. Logan smiled at her. He felt the same way, except he'd never actually seen the movie. When their friends finally got the hint, they left the two alone. Quinn wrapped her arms around Logan's neck and he did her waist, as Free Fallin' the John Mayer edition came on.
The two gently swayed to the music, clearly engulfed in each other.
"You look beautiful, Quinn," Logan said. He smiled as Quinn blushed under his deep gaze.
"You look amazing," Quinn gently replied. Logan smiled at her, knowing that they didn't need to say anything else. They were both sorry for what had happened. They both loved each other, and they were finally together again. Logan looked at Quinn again and was hit with a sudden burst of passion.
"I love you," he said before leaning into her. A million memories rushed through his mind. He remembered the very first time he met Quinn, the weird girl that loved science. She forced him to pay attention to her, simply because she was different. Then he remembered how upset she was when he revealed her love of baby-food. He smiled at the memory of his summer house during Spring Break. They had met Lola that year. He had flirted with Lola, but had gotten strangely closer to Quinn. They had started to talk all of the time.
He remembered when they came back for their third year. How Quinn had helped him with basketball. How that was the moment that he really started looking at Quinn differently. He thought back to how much he hated Mark after that; he'd given him so much grief. And then there was Quinn sitting on the bench, their bench, crying. That was the day that Mark had made it clear that it was over. He chose Brooke over the most amazing person in the world. That was the only day Logan ever appreciated Mark, because the moment he kissed Quinn on that bench, he fell for her. He fell harder than he ever had for anyone. He thought back on them hiding their relationship, on their diners and park meetings. He laughed at their crazy idea for the prom. And smiled at the moment that they announced their love for each other to the world. And then they kissed.
Logan looked down at the girl that he had fallen in love with. He closed his eyes and let their lips meet. He missed that feeling so much. The instant connection. In a sweep of passion, he picked Quinn up and spun her around as her arms tightened around his neck. He held on as tight as he could to his princess. He promised himself that he would never let go. When they finally pulled away, Quinn rested her head on Logan's shoulder. She turned and looked at him.
"I love you too."
So, I hope you liked it! I actually got the idea for this entire chapter today. I mean, I knew what I wanted to happen, but I wasn't sure how to make it happen. But then I listened to Love Story be Taylor swift and I was like, "YES! I got it!"
Ok so this chapter was extremely fun and intense to write. And I'm so excited because I get to write the next two and they are crazy! I have some very interesting things planned for them. I like giving you brief previews so I've decided to give you one for the next chapter because I already have the idea in my mind.
1. Quinn faces Dean Rivers for an unkown reason. (*Hint, hint* Dana)
2. Logan and Quinn for life! There will be a few cute scenes between these too!
3. Lola's backboned-monents continue!
4. Chase does some falling!
5. Michael faces some things he's been trying to avoid.
6. We meet someone again, but she's different then what you remember.
7. We finally have a Dustin cameo!
8. Stacey will talk.
9. Dana does something bad, once again.
10. You'll have to wait and read the chapter to find out what happens!
