Let Me Catch You ( CH. 11: Surprises All Around )
It was the day before the big test at PCA and all the students were extremely nervous, the school day had flown by and the everyone was sitting down in the lounge of the girls dorm. Carly noticed that her cousin seemed to have something other than the test on her mind and decided that she needed to get it off her chest.
Carly: Paisley, what's wrong?
Paisley: What?
Carly: You look like you want to ask us something but don't know how.
Summer: Yeah I noticed that too. Just spit it out hun, we won't judge.
Paisley: Landon came to me last night.
Lola: What?
Peyton: What did he want?
Paisley: He seemed to be really sincere and asked if he could ever be forgiven.
Zoey: And what did you say?
Paisley: I said it wasn't just up to me.
Chandler: Are you saying you forgive that asshole?
Paisley: No! I understand him though, look if you guys hate him so much then I will tell him no.
Logan: Good.
Quinn: Paisley, it is pretty unforgivable.
Tessa: Yeah we wouldn't just have to forgive him but Megan too.
Chase: That will never happen.
Paisley: I am not saying to forgive that bitch, but Landon just seems different.
Sloane: Ok I may be new to the group but I know what they did and I wouldn't forgive either one.
Harper: Sloane you don't forgive anyone for anything.
Sloane: Yeah and that is how everyone should be.
Harper: That's stupid!
Sloane: No it isn't, did you forgive Matt when he slept with Alex?
Harper: Not the same thing.
Sloane: It could have gotten that bad.
Harper: I think Quinn is a little smarter than to fall for that.
Quinn: I don't know, he was pretty convincing but Paisley does have a point he did seem more sincere and honest than Megan, and before you say anything Logan I am defending him.
Logan: Not saying you were, look Paisley I am gonna have a hard time with it but maybe I could learn to like him, I will not trust him with Quinn though.
Paisley: I understand that, I don't trust him that much myself.
Nicole: I don't think any of us do.
Michael: We need to think about this.
Paisley: That's fine whatever I am for whatever the rest of us decide.
Zoey: Alright then we agree to at least consider it?
Everyone agreed and a few minutes later the guys and girls separated to study for their tests. The girls had moved into Zoey, Nicole, Lola, and Quinn's room and were all sprawled out around the room with their books and notebooks open quizzing each other on different parts of the test.
Harper: I hate math
Sloane: Join the club
Quinn: I don't even like it that much
Nicole: Now that is surprising!
Lola: I am just ready for it to be over with.
Carly: Tell me about it!
Summer: So you guys want to take a little study break?
Tessa: Yes! I am so bored with all this crap.
Paisley: I have been studying all week long and been sneaking it in all our other classes.
Quinn: Yeah I noticed that.
Harper: I did the same thing!
Sloane: Me too except the bitch Lindsay Thomas caught me in Psychology and told the teacher.
Carly: What did he do?
Sloane: Nothing considering we were watching a movie and I have an A in the class.
Quinn: Bet that pissed Lindsay off.
Sloane: Oh yeah!
Harper: I never understood why Lindsay didn't hang out with Claire, Rebecca, and Megan she is a huge bitch just like them.
Quinn: Yeah but she is a prude.
Nicole: She never leaves her room.
Summer: Probably because she is looking up porn.
Tessa: SUMMER! EW!
Summer: Hey, would it surprise you?
Tessa: Actually, no.
Sloane: I am just glad I only have one class with her.
Harper: Lucky bitch! I have four.
Lola: That sucks!
Zoey: Try having to work with her in the library, she just looks me up and down like she is judging me.
Nicole: She is so pathetic!
Carly: Yeah I remember when she tried to seduce Chandler and he just laughed.
Lola: Oh that's a little sad.
Paisley: So what? She is a bitch.
Zoey: True
Carly: Alright girls we need to study some more now.
Quinn: No fun!
Sloane: Buzz kill.
Carly: Fine fail.
After several more hours of studying everyone except Zoey, Lola, Quinn, and Nicole went home to sleep. They all had a good night sleep but around six AM Quinn woke up and realized she was going to be sick and ran over to the waste basket and puked. The sound caused the other three roommates to wake up and realize what was happening Lola ran over and pulled Quinn's hair away from her face and waited for her friend to be done.
Lola: Quinn are you ok?
Nicole: She just puked what kind of question is that?
Lola: A concerned one.
Zoey: Guys enough, hun you ok?
Quinn: Yeah it's just stress from all this test I'm sure.
Nicole: I know how you feel, but it will be fine.
Lola: Anyway you will do great, it's the rest of us that have to worry.
Quinn: No I'm sure we will all do fine.
Nicole: Well since we are all up and school starts in two hours want to go out for breakfast?
Lola: I could go for some pancakes!
Zoey: I'm in, Quinn you up for it?
Quinn: Sure guys, really its just nerves nothing serious.
Nicole: Great! Well calm down and lets get ready and go!
Zoey: Let's call Carly and have her meet us her and Paisley always runs on the beach at this time.
Lola: Already on it.
Quinn got up and went to the bathroom to shower, she didn't let the others know but she was worried that her illness may be something else. She knew he wore a condom but what if something didn't work. What is she was pregnant? Would Logan stick around or would she raise the child on her own. She started to cry but rubbed her eyes when she heard Lola come in. She had to tell them and get a test she knew that, but she didn't want to rush anything, she was going to tell by the end of the day. She didn't know how to face Logan so she would try and avoid him, this would prove to be difficult since they had three classes together. She would just sit by someone else in all three, she couldn't face him till she knew. Six hours went by and she was sitting in the library when she knew the rest of her friends would be eating lunch, she hadn't gotten sick anymore and prayed it really was just nerves. She got through two of her classes with Logan switching places by sitting between Harper and Paisley in Biology and sitting by Peyton, Chandler, and Carly in another. Logan kept giving her questioning looks but she tried to avoid them, she made it through the whole day without speaking with him and was heading back to her class when she felt her phone vibrate. She fished it out of her purse and saw a text message from Logan.
L: Why are you avoiding me?
Q: I'm not, just been busy.
L: I want to see you later.
Q: Let me figure something out, I have a lot to do.
L: Fine let me know, love you
Q: I love you too.
She flipped her phone shut and started walking to her room when all of a sudden she was grabbed and hugged by someone, it took her a second before she finally realized who it was and screamed in delight.
Quinn: DANA! Oh my god, it's great to see you! I've missed you so much!
Dana: I've missed you too!
Quinn: Not to sound like I don't love your sudden appearance but why are you here?
Dana: My parents needed me to come home and help out with some stuff.
Quinn: For how long?
Dana: For good!
Quinn: OH MY GOD!
Dana: I KNOW!
Quinn: We need to get to our room, I'm sure Nicole, Zoey, and Lola would love to see you.
Dana: Alright let's go, you look so cute Quinn!
Quinn: Thanks you too, of course you always did.
Dana: I heard about you and Logan, I think it is great!
Quinn: Really? I was kind of worried you would think I stole him from you.
Dana: Quinn I have been gone for almost two years, he was bound to move on I'm just glad it was with you.
Quinn: Thanks D.
Dana: No problem Q.
The two friends skipped back to the room and were greeted by three excited faces, it took all five of the girls almost ten minutes to finally calm down and now were all sprawled out around the room.
Zoey: I am so glad your back!
Dana: Me too, I have missed you guys! How has everything been going?
Lola: Great! I am with Michael, and Nicole just started dating our friend Peyton and Zoey and Chase are finally together!
Dana: WOW! Lots of hook ups!
Nicole: Yep, so what about you? Anyone to talk about?
Dana: Actually I met a boy who goes here last week and we really hit it off! His name is Sutton Pierce.
Nicole: Wait, you've been here a week?
Dana: Yeah it took me some time to get settled, sorry I didn't let you guys know before.
Quinn: It's fine as long as you are here now.
Dana: Well I am!
Zoey: Sweet!
Quinn watched the her four best friends talk and laugh and kept thinking about her situation. She knew now that Dana was back she would have to say something she was still worried that she may indeed by pregnant, Lola noticed the sudden change in her friends appearance and decided to comment on it.
Lola: Hey Quinn, what's up?
Nicole: Yeah you got all silent.
Quinn: I think I'm pregnant.
Z, D, L, N : WHAT?
Dana: Are you sure?
Zoey: You guys were safe right?
Nicole: Oh my god, the morning sickness!
Quinn: Yes we were safe and yes my morning sickness is what got me thinking that.
Lola: Well there is only one way to find out.
Twenty minutes later all five girls came rushing in the drug store running past Peyton and Chase not even noticing them. The boys decided to follow them but to be sneaky about it. They stopped dead in their tracks when they saw all five in front of pregnancy tests taking almost all of them off the rack and running to the front, paying for them, and running out. The boys were about to head out when Nicole ran back in and ran into Peyton, she froze when she saw who she had run into.
Nicole: Peyton, Chase! What are you two doing here?
Chase: Not buying twenty pregnancy tests.
Peyton: What are you doing here?
Nicole: Buying pregnancy tests.
Peyton: For?
Nicole: You can't say anything got it!
Peyton: OK.
Chase: Just say it isn't Zoey.
Nicole: Please that would require you to have sex.
Chase: Hey!
Nicole: There for Quinn.
Peyton: What?
Chase: Oh my god!
Nicole: Stop freaking out! She is scared enough, look I just came in cause I forgot my purse. Please don't say anything to Logan, let her be the one to do that.
Peyton: Sure.
Chase: Fine, but hurry up with the results!
Nicole: Don't rush us Matthews, later!
An hour later Peyton and Chase walked into Chase's room and saw Logan standing there, before either could stop themselves they told Logan about what they had seen.
Logan: Quinn's what?
Chase: We don't know for sure.
Peyton: They are taking the tests right now, Logan you used a condom right?
Logan: Yes!
Chase: They don't always work.
Peyton: WHAT?
Chase: They are only like 97
Logan: That's not good enough.
Chase: I know!
Logan: What am I gonna do?
Peyton: Hey if she if pregnant we will help you as much as we can.
Chase: No question.
Logan: Thanks guys.
Just then Logan got a text from Quinn.
Quinn: We need to talk meet me at The Hot Spot.
Logan: I need to go meet Quinn.
Chase: She know?
Logan: Probably.
Peyton: Well whatever the case man, we meant what we said.
Logan: Thanks guys, I'll let you know.
He then walked out of his room, got in his Range Rover and drove to The Hot Spot. He flashed the guy his fake, walked in and saw Quinn waiting for him. He walked up to her and sat down, taking her hand in his.
Quinn: How much do you love me?
Logan: More than anything, your everything to me.
Quinn: I feel the same way, Logan I thought I was pregnant.
Logan: Yeah Chase and Peyton told me.
Quinn: What would you do if I was?
Logan: Help you raise our child babe, we would get married and raise this child together.
Quinn: You would marry me if I was pregnant?
Logan: No I would marry you because I love you.
Quinn: Logan, I love you so much and I would love to raise a child with you, but I'm not pregnant.
Logan: What?
Quinn: I'm not pregnant.
Logan: Then why?
Quinn: I made myself sick getting so worked up about that stupid test and thought it may be morning sickness, but ten tests proved that I am not pregnant.
Logan: That's great I guess.
Quinn: We will have time to have children when we are older.
Logan: Oh you think you can keep me that long?
Quinn: I don't think, I know.
With that she caught his lips in a soft kiss and stared into her lover's eyes. Both knew that they were the only one for each other and knew one day they would raise a family together and that made their hearts become warm.
