Fallen Ashes Of The Past
Chapter 10
Disclaimer- I don't own Zoey 101
Zoey walked around campus, thinking of what she had talked with Quinn and Lola. She knew that they were right. She needed to talk about this with William, so she started walking to Dillard Hall.
On her way, she saw Chase lying face down on a hammock. Chase only lied on a hammock when he was really depressed.
A memory that came to her mind...
Flashback...
"Chase?". Zoey said as she approached Chase.
"Hey".
"What are you doing?".
"Lying here, in a hammock". Chase said dimly.
"Well, will you turn over and talk to me?".
"No".
"Why not?".
"I'm depressed". Chase sadly responded.
"Okay?". Zoey said as she set her stuff down and lied at the bottom of Chase.
"Boo".
"Hello".
"Want a grape?". Zoey offered.
"Feed me".
Zoey smiled and fed him a grape.
"I'm sorry Dean Rivers cancelled you show". Zoey apologetically replied.
"Yeah me too".
"I feel like its my fault". Zoey sadly answered.
"Come on, before you and Logan came, we had like 9 viewers, and we almost hit 300 because of you guys. I cant believe the dean just cancel us".
"I know, is censorship".
"That's what we told him".
"Here". Chase said as he took a CD out and gave it to Zoey.
"What's this?".
"I burned 2 of our shows in there. Itts good stuff, especially you and Logan. you should watch it".
Zoey sighted.
"Um to watch it , you have to put it on a machine, hook up to a video set".
"Thanks Chase". Zoey sarcastically said as she gave chase one last grape and left.
End Of Flashback
She wanted to go up to him and figure out what was bothering him, but decided to go against her will, because she knew that the talk she was going to have with William will be for the benefit of the 2 of them
As Zoey got to Williams room, she stood outside the door for a couple of minutes, wondering if she should knock or just leave.
Unexpectedly William opened the door.
"Zoey? whats up?". William asked confused.
"Hey, um, can I talk to you for a sec?". Zoey asked nervously.
"Sure, come in".
Zoey entered the room and sat down on his bed. He sat next to her.
"What do you want to talk about?". William asked.
"This is really hard for me to say or to explain but...".
"but?". William questioned, eager to know what was on Zoey's mind.
"But I'm not sure if I want to marry you". Zoey said as she broke eye contact with his fiance.
"Zoey...". William calmly started, but Zoey interrupted.
"I'm really sorry okay, its just that seen Chase again has really affected me, and I feel really embarrassed doing this to you because your a great person, who's always been there for me and...".
"Zoey...". William said as Zoey continue to explain herself.
"I know your going to hate me after this, but I'm really really sorry...".
"Zoey! Just listen to what I have to say". William said interrupting Zoey.
"I'm not mad or anything like that, it just surprises me of your fast decision, but now I see that the love you have for Chase is really true love".
"Wait,...I'm confused". Zoey stated.
"Look, Zoey, when I came to PCA my senior year, I didn't knew about you until you came to the Salem company in Louisiana. Later on we became boyfriend and girlfriend and then we got engaged. One day, I went to the basement in search for my tool box, when a PCA box caught my attention. I thought it was mine, but when I opened it, I saw that it was yours because I saw a picture of you and your friends. As I looked more into your stuff I saw that you had a lot of pictures of you and Chase, and you also had a light blue PCA sweatshirt and some cologne, I'm guessing those were Chases right?". William asked as he paused.
Zoey nodded.
"I saw the box the day after we got the letter. At first started to think that going to PCA was a really bad idea for the both of us because I was afraid you would run into Chase and mess up your feelings, but then as I thought it thru, I figure out that going back to PCA was a great opportunity for you to put your feelings in place before you and I got married. And I see you already choose who you want to be with and I'm totally cool with it".
Zoey couldn't believe what was happening. She smiled and hugged William.
"Thank you for understanding".
"Don't thank me, I just want you to be happy, that's all". He said as he broke the hug.
"And I also came to PCA to see if the girl I loved still has something for me".
"Wait, you had someone at PCA that you loved?". Zoey asked surprised.
William nodded.
"Well, who is she?". Zoey asked as she elbowed William.
"Your going to be surprised about this, but the girl I'm talking about is... Ashley".
"Ashley?, Chase's new friend?".
"Yeah".
"But does she still love you?". Zoey asked.
"I think so. She might be a little bit insecure, but I know shes going to going to chose right, like you did".
"Are you sure shes not trying to get Chase?". Zoey asked afraid.
"Naw, you see, the story you and chase had, its kinda similar to mine and Ashley. We both were best friend, and my friends always told me that she had a huge crush on me, but I never believe it until my friends showed me a live video when Ashley was talking about her felings towards me. Later that day I found her and told her that I felt the same way as ahe did".
"So what caused you guys to break up".
"People started spreading rumors that I was Cheating on her and that she was dong the same, so to stop the rumors, we decided to take a break which was a terrible mistake".
Zoey hugged him one last time.
"Now, you go and be happy with Chase". William said as he smiled.
Zoey started walking out of the room but stopped halfway thru the doorway.
"But were still fiends, right?"Zoey asked as she turned to see William.
"We sure are Zoey".
Zoey grinned and closed the door behind her. She still couldn't believe what had happen.
Zoey got out of Dillard Hall and walked by the hammock thinking that Chase would still be there, but he wasn't. She then heard 2 voices calling her name.
"Zoey!". Lola yelled along with Quinn.
Zoey turned around.
"What". "What asked happily.
"Why are you so happy?". Quinn asked.
"I'll tell you guys later". Zoey responded.
"You better". Lola replied as she grinned.
"Hey did you receive that text from Dean Rivers?". Quinn asked.
"What text?". Zoey asked as she took her phone out.
"Is a text that some people got. It talks about a challenge that there going to have for both guys and girls". Quinn explained.
"So, if you got the text message you have been chosen". Lola concluded.
"I got it". Zoey responded.
"Us too". Lola answered.
"It says that we have to meet in Mr. Benders room at 1:30". Zoey said as she read.
"Its 1:15, we have 15 minutes to get ready". Quinn said.
"lets go then!". Zoey replied as she and the girls started running to Brenner hall.
At Mr. Benders room
As Lola, Quinn and Zoey entered the room, they notice that Lisa, Stacey, Vince and Mark were the only people in the room.
"You guys were chosen too". Lisa asked.
"Yeah. Do you know what the challenge is?". Zoey asked her.
"Nope, the Dean said that is a surprise and that it would help us later in life".
"Where is Dean rivers?Its already past 1:30". Quinn commented.
"Oh, he went looking for ...". Lisa started but stopped when she and the others heard Dean Rivers voice.
"Come on, get in". Dean rivers ordered.
"But we dont want to be part of this stupid Challenge". Logan whined as he entered the room.
"Well, You have no choise".
Michael and Chase followed Logan and Dean Rivers into the room.
"Quinn, Lola, Zoey? don't tell me they got you guys in this too". Logan said rolling his eyes.
The girls nodded.
"Okay, everyone please sit".
Everyone sat next to their husband or wife, except Zoey who sat next Lola and Chase sat next to Vince.
"You all have been chosen for this especial challenge because we know that the 10 of you have the capacity in handling this type of situation. Now, the Challenge is that you guys are going to be partner up together and will be playing mom and dad.". The Dean explained.
"Well that's easy". Logan said as he grinned.
"Not that easy Mr. Resse, because you all are going to have a real baby living with you". The Dean said.
"A real baby?". Chase asked confused.
"Yeah, we already chose your partners based on a compatibility test, and to make this Challenge fun and realistic, we have chosen babies that somewhat look like the parents, who are going to be you guys".
"So who's our partners?". Lola asked.
"Based on your compatibility test, Logan you are with Quinn, Lola you are with Vince, Mark you are with Stacey Lisa you are with Michael and Zoey you are with Chase, so basically all of you got partner up with your husband or wife with the exception of Chase and Zoey, but I know you two are okay with it, right". Dean rivers said.
Chase and Zoey looked at each other.
"I'm okay with it". Zoey responded.
"Me too". Chase replied.
