Here's chapter 10. There's actually only two more chapters left. And I promise that Quinn and Logan will get their happy ending. Just not in this chapter.

Until then, just enjoy!

"Are you okay?" Zoey asks, dropping down beside Quinn on the couch in the girl's lounge. "You've been awfully quiet ever since Spring Break."

Quinn nods, but it's half-hearted at best and her eyes don't even leave the TV even though the documentary that's playing right now is so boring even she can't possibly find it interesting. "I'm fine." She doesn't sound find though and Zoey's brow furrows in concern.

"How…was your break?" She ventures cautiously. Quinn has been all but completely silent since returning from Santa Barbara five days ago. She hasn't volunteered any information about her time at the Reese household either, although she must know that both Zoey and Lola are dying to know. The two girls have been anything but subtle about it.

She would have chalked it up to Quinn still being upset about Mark except, according to James and Michael, Logan has been acting the exact same way.

Quinn shrugs. "How do you think it went?" She says by way of answer and Zoey sighs, knowing that's all she'll get from her genius friend for now.

Instead she settles onto the couch, grabbing the remote from a listless Quinn and switching to an episode of Girly Cow. She makes a mental note to have Lola help her set up a girl's day this weekend. Quinn looks more depressed than before she left and even if Quinn won't say why, Zoey feels like, as her friend, its her job to help make her feel better. Even if it's only a little bit.

James, Michael, and Lisa join them a few minutes later. Without even thinking about what she's doing, Zoey snuggles up against her boyfriend as he joins her on the couch. She hears Quinn's breathing hitch and when she looks towards her friend she can see that the brunette is trying not cry. Immediately, Zoey pulls away, sending James an apologetic glance. He smiles in return; clearly he knows what she's doing and why she's doing it so he says nothing. The damage has been done, however, and guilt floods through the blonde's system as Quinn quietly excuses herself and slips out of the lounge. Zoey sighs.

"I wish she would talk to us."

Michael nods. "Me too. We can't get anything out of Logan. This is probably the first time in his life that he doesn't want to talk about himself."

"And it's the one time we all want him to talk." James finishes, pulling Zoey close to him again since Quinn has left.

"Should we go after her?" Lisa asks, turning her head to face the door Quinn had gone out.

Zoey shakes her head. "No. She clearly doesn't want to talk about it right now. I think that going after her would just make it worse."

Lisa's eyes shine with sympathy for their friend. "I wish there was something we could do…"

"Me too," Zoey admits while James and Michael both nod in agreement, "me too."

oOo

It isn't until two days later that everything (Quinn) falls to pieces and Zoey and Lola get their answers.

It happens during lunch, which probably makes things the worse; the fact that everyone on campus can see the group and what's happening. It starts off innocently enough. Logan, who has been unusually quiet, just like Quinn, asks said girl if she'll hand him the ketchup for his fries. Instead of dully doing what she was asked before returning to her lunch without so much as a word, which is how she had responded to every request given to her since she'd returned to PCA, Quinn's head snaps up and she sends the rich boy the coldest glare any of them have ever seen her give.

"Are you sure want my ketchup for your fries?" She asks icily. "They don't run in the same circle after all."

Logan visibly flinches at her words and, if that didn't shock everyone enough, the small 'please' that he gives as his only rebuttal does. Quinn, however, only appears to grow angrier at Logan's attempt at being civil. She stands up, shoving the chair behind her violently and slamming her hands down on the lunch table, completely unaware of the attention she is attracting. "Fine!" She snaps. "Take the stupid ketchup! It's not like I really wanted it anyways!"

Zoey has just enough time to think that maybe Quinn isn't actually talking about ketchup and French fries before she's stunned into mental silence once more as Quinn picks up the plastic container of ketchup and throws it as hard as she can at Logan's face.

The genius turns on her heel and leaves the quad before the bottle even makes contact, but no one doubts that she hears the thud as it hits him.

oOo

"Okay, what is going on?" Zoey demands as she and Lola burst into room 101 where Quinn is sitting, looking miserable, on her bed. "And don't say nothing because you just chucked a bottle of ketchup at Logan's face-"

"Nice one, by the way." Lola interrupts.

Zoey gives the actress a look that clearly says 'not now!' before turning back to face her other friend. "And you've been miserable all week. Talk to us!"

"Yeah, Quinn." Lola moves to sit beside her friend. "What's up?"

There's silence for a few minutes before Quinn suddenly breaks down, crying for all she's worth. "I-I'm sorry!" She gasps, in between sobs. "I know it shouldn't be bothering me this much, but it is!"

Zoey drops down next to her friend, rubbing her back soothingly, while Lola leans over to the nightstand and grabs the crying girl a few tissues. "Want to tell us what happened?"

Quinn takes a few deep breaths to calm herself down before she starts speaking again. "The night before we came back to PCA, Logan kissed me."

Zoey wants to freak out about this. Like really badly. And she can tell by the look on Lola's face that the actress feels the same. For Quinn's sake though, she remains calm. The last thing Quinn needs is for them to freak out about the fact that Logan kissed her, especially since they'd been acting so distant. Clearly, the initial kiss was not where the problem lay. "And?"

"And we, well…" She pauses here, her face flushing. "We might have spent the night making out in his room."

Lola can't help the little squeak that slips out Quinn's last sentence. "No way!"

Quinn nods. "I know it seems crazy," she frowns here, "and I guess it really was. But the whole week he was so nice. Trying to help me forget about Mark. He even had one of the guest bedrooms turned into a small lab so I would have something to distract myself with. And I guess maybe things had been sort of building up the whole week and then he tripped and fell in the pool and pulled me in when I went to help him out and we ended up kissing."

"Then what happened?"

"We went back to his room and just sat on his bed, watching TV and talking. And kissing a little, but it was different than the first kiss." She pauses and looks like she's trying to find the exact words to use. "It was sweeter, gentler, it felt like something more than just a physical thing. I mean after a while it got a little more, well, you know, but for while it was just nice."

"So…what's the problem?"

Quinn raises an eyebrow. "You mean you don't see a problem with the fact I was kissing Logan Reese?"

Lola shutters at the name. "Well it's weird, I'll give you that. But for your sake I'm concentrating on why you're upset. Not on how you exchanged DNA with pretty boy."

Quinn smiles lightly at her friend's words. "Thanks. I guess." She sighs. "Everything was fine, I guess. Except the next day on the ride back when I tried to see how he wanted to tell you guys about everything he just said we shouldn't do it."

"Be together?" Zoey asks. "He said that? Really?"

She nods. "Yeah. He said we two different people. That we weren't even supposed to be friends let alone anything else." She starts to sniffle as her eyes well up with tears once more. "And I know it's stupid, because it's Logan, of all people, but I don't know, this just really, really hurts."

Lola leans over, giving her friend a comforting hug before standing up and making her way to the door. "Where are you going?" Zoey asks.

She turns back to face the two girls still on the bed, her eyes flashing angrily. "To tell Logan exactly what I think of him right now."

"Oh no you're not!" Zoey stands up making her way over to the taller brunette. "Not without me."

Lola smiles wickedly at the blonde beside her. "Good."

"Guys wait!" Quinn stands up as well, joining the other two girls. "You really don't need to do this."

"Yes we do, Quinn." Lola places her hands on her friend's shoulders. "That was a scummy thing he did to you and he's not going to get away with it. Not without a serious butt kicking from Lola Martinez."

"And Zoey Brooks." Zoey adds in.

Quinn smiles gratefully at her friends. "Thanks."

"No problem." Lola tells her.

"We'll be back."

Then both girls are out the door, leaving Quinn alone to collect her thoughts and emotions.

Here's the end. I know you all are still mad at Logan, but I promise he'll make up for it in the next chapter. This is kind of like his Coffee Cart Ban moment in my story. You know, where he's a jerk because, well he's Logan Reese and he can't change over night. But he'll make up for it. I promise.

Well, let me know what you guys think.
