Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101, and if you don't know that by now, I should smack you.
A/N: Alright here is the next chapter, a lot of you said in your reviews that you couldn't wait to see what everyone else's reactions were going to be to Quinn being awake, and I wasn't originally planning on adding that, but I decided to. It worked out well, because it extended this chapter and made me able to break it where I wanted.
Thanks again to everyone who reviewed, 13 reviews, that rocks. The more reviews the faster I write, it just makes me so excited.
Enjoy!
Chapter 9
One year later
Zoey finished wrapping the tiny, white flowers around the veil and set it down. She clapped her hands and squealed with delight. It was perfect!
"What's with the jumping and squealing?" Chase asked, as he entered the room.
Zoey glanced up and smiled. "Look at Quinn's veil, isn't it perfect?" she clapped, and spun again.
"Yeah, it looks great!" Chase laughed. "But it will look even better on Quinn at the church, where we needed to be ten minutes ago."
"Oh no," Zoey glanced down at her watch. "Quinn is going to kill me!" Zoey sat on the bed and began lacing up her shoes.
"And Logan's going to kill me, so let's go!" Chase laughed. Zoey finished lacing her shoes, grabbed the beautiful new veil and followed Chase out of the room. They were both dressed splendidly. Chase in a fabulous black tailored tux and Zoey in a stunning red and silver bridesmaid dress. Chase got to the passenger door of the car and let her in. He slid in next o her and shut the door.
"Ya know, I don't think its custom for the best man and the maid of honor to be late," Michael fumed from the driver's seat.
"You guys could have left without us," Chase snapped.
"And how would you have gotten there?" Lola laughed from the front. "Fly?"
"We would have figured something out," Zoey snapped. "It's your jobs to be there early, best man and maid of honor." She laughed, she loved teasing them.
"It's also our jobs to make sure everyone is there and that the bride and groom are happy and not freaking out," Michael retorted. "And if you two weren't there then all hell would break loose."
"Well, it going to break loose either way," Zoey commented. "Wait, how are they getting there?" She hadn't thought of this before. If they were in charge of getting them there, then they were in worse trouble then she thought.
"Their parents are getting them there and then you two will finish helping Quinn and we will help Logan." Michael said turning onto a side street. "That's if we don't get lasered, first."
Zoey laughed, watching the trees zip by. She had forgotten how much she loved California. Logan and Quinn decided to come here for their wedding, because it was where they had fallen for each other. The church was actually only about fifteen minutes from PCA; Zoey was hoping to be able to stop by for a visit before they left to go back to school. "She won't laser us."
"Yeah, it's taken too much for her to get here; she won't ruin it with killing us and legal troubles." Chase added.
"What do you mean?" Lola asked, flipping down her visor, and opening the mirror, so she wouldn't have to turn around and wrinkle her dress
"Well, she's been through a lot to get here." Chase continued lamely, restating what he already said. "I mean they've basically faced all major obstacles, and they weren't even engaged." He laughed
"That's for sure," Michael added "It's a miracle she's even here."
"Yeah," Zoey's voice was far away, as was her mind.
Flash back- a year previously
Zoey sat in a ball, in the hall. Her arms wrapped around her knees, tears flowing. They were losing Quinn today. She was gone. Logan was saying good-bye. Then they would. Then they would pull the plug and her world would crash around her. Chase had his arm around her shoulders, his head resting on her back. She felt the dampness of his tears soaking her shirt.
Lola was sobbing in Michael arms against the wall, beside them. Bother were shaking so much Zoey was amazed they could even stand.
Then the door banged open and out flew Logan. Zoey lifted her head and saw a broad grin across his face. He looked as if he was ready to skip. What was wrong with him? Had the grief made him totally lose his mind? She brushed her knees, and stood, once she was up, he launched himself into her arms. "She's awake!" he sobbed. She could feel the sobs racking his body.
He let go and raced back into the room. Zoey shared a look of utter disbelief with the other four, before turning and dashing into the room, right behind Logan.
They raced to her bedside, and all for felt fresh tears in their eyes, when they saw her eyes open and she waved at them.
Logan was seated on the bedside, looking like a school boy about to get a present. He could barely sit still, he was holding Quinn's hand in his, and Zoey could see that he was holding as if he would never let go.
"Quinn?" Zoey choked, Quinn nodded. She still had the breathing tube in, but Zoey launched herself on top of her, hugging her. Tears spilling form her eyes. A moment later she felt another pair of arms around hers, then a third and a fourth. Everyone was on top of her, hugging Quinn as if they were afraid this was all a dream and she was going to disappear into thin air.
Logan had stood to let them, get close but after a moment he started peeling them off. "Alright, let her breathe." He laughed, "I'm going to get a doctor. Be right back baby," he kissed her forehead and left the room.
Zoey and Chase took his side of the bed, Chase's arms draped around Zoey's waist. Michael and Lola in the same position on the other side of the bed. They had no words; they didn't know what to say, or what to do. They were told they had lost her, but here she was, awake and alright.
"Quinn, you have no idea how it feels to see you awake," Zoey chocked, she could barely speak. Quinn just nodded her head, she really did know.
Zoey caught a glisten on her finger, she placed a finger on the ring. A greater smile spreading across her face. "Well, it's about time," she whispered.
Quinn nodded, her eyes scrunching as if she was laughing. The four of them joined her. She was awake and everything was right with the world again.
End flash back
"We're here," Michael announced, pulling into a parking spot. "Let's go," They all fell out of the car and headed to the church.
The girls ran to the bride room and he guys went to find Logan. Lola opened the door to find Quinn standing in front of a full length mirror, looking absolutely stunning. Her dress was full length, but more form fitting then the traditional full type. Her hair was down and wavy. She turned when she heard the door click.
"There you guys are. I was getting worried," she turned and watched them "Aww Zoey, the veil looks wonderful!"
Zoey and Lola grinned, walking over to her, and giving her a hug. "You look stunning, Quinn," Zoey stated.
"Thanks, I really like how it turned out," she was smile so broadly, Zoey was surprised it could fit on her face.
"Come on, let's up this on you and make you perfect," Zoey, got a step stool and proceeded to place the veil on Quinn and make it fit perfectly.
Meanwhile Chase and Michael found Logan in a side room. He spun on his heel when he heard their voices, anger etched in his face. "Where the heck have you been!?" he demanded, aiming his words more at Michael, since he was his best man
"Chill, we're here now," Michael walked to a table and sat down. "Zoey had to finish the veil."
"Oh," was Logan's only response. He turned back to the mirror and continued to check his appearance.
"It looks really pretty," Chase added, sitting on a table.
"Good," Logan replied, straightening his tie, which didn't really need it.
"Shouldn't we be outside, you know getting things together, meeting and greeting." Michael asked, he wasn't sure how this wedding stuff worked. But he knew it was the bride who was supposed to be in front of the mirror, admiring herself not the groom.
"You go, I'll be right there." Logan added, fidgeting with his cuffs.
Chase and Michael shared a hesitant glance. Logan was way to fidgety, something was up. "You alright man?" Chase asked, going to stand next to him. "You're fidgeting a lot, you nervous?"
"What? No, no," Logan's voice betrayed him with the hitch in it. "I just have to look good; you know I have a reputation to maintain."
"You sure?" Michael laughed. "You're getting married. One girl forever. You're officially off the market. That doesn't bug you just a little?" he clapped Logan's shoulder.
Chase smacked Michael upside the head, and gave him an annoyed glare. "Not helping! He doesn't need to hear that, what is the matter with you?"
"He's right though," Logan gulped.
"So? You have Quinn the only girl you ever really wanted, so this should be great for you," Chase laughed. "Anyway we're right there with you. We're all taken men now." Chase smiled. He had proposed to Zoey a month ago, coincidentally Michael had done the same to Lola the same day. They both had said yes.
"Yeah, but you haven't gone through with it yet. You're not standing here, you can still back out." Logan yelled, spinning to face them. He didn't want to back out, nothing made him happier then to
be with Quinn but something was nagging at him. "You have no idea what is going through my head." To be truthful he didn't even know.
"Well, if it's like usual, then nothing," Michael joked, but a glare from Chase made him add. "You love Quinn right? More than anything?"
"Yes, of course," Logan scoffed.
"Then there is nothing for you to be thinking about. This is exactly where you should be and trust me in a little over an hour, you'll be the happiest man on this earth," Michael added as better encouragement.
"Yeah," Logan sighed, "I guess you're right."
"As always," Chase said. "Come on; let's go get your back slapped and such."
"Okay, you go. I'll be right out." He stated turning to the mirror again. When neither of them turned to leave, he added. "Seriously go, give me on minute to make sure I look perfect."
Chase smirked and nodded at Michael and they left the room to let Logan primp. Once the door had closed on them, Logan grabbed a pen and a piece of paper, jotted a note and slinked from the room.
Ten minutes later, Chase and Michael appeared back in the room. "Dude, com on. You can't seriously still be checking yourself out? You can't look better then Quinn, it's against the rules." Michael scoffed as they both entered the room, only to find that Logan wasn't there. The room was empty. "Logan?" he asked the empty air. "Uh… where is he?"
Chase just shrugged and walked around the room opening closets till he saw it. The note Logan had left on the table. "Dude, look." He handed the note to Michael who read it out loud.
Guys,
Went to think.
Logan.
"Ahh…. Are you kidding me?" Michael whined. "We lost him? I am so getting lasered for this!" he collapsed into a chair and sighed.
A/N: I know another cliff hanger, but you should see this coming by now. I was going to put the whole wedding into one chapter, but I thought splitting it was better. Review and let me know what you think. Please!
