He said he wouldn't but he did
Chase went to Zoey's dorm room. He knew she'd be alone because everyone else would still be at lunch. He held back tears when he knocked on the door he didn't want Zoey to get upset or think something was wrong.
Zoey opened the door and asked "what did your mom want Chase?"
Chase said "Zoey my sister is doing better but she can't talk. Mom and dad need my help taking care of her."
Zoey tried to keep the anger out of her voice when she asked "when are you leaving this time?"
Chase tried to put his arms around Zoey but she pushed him off her. He hit his head on the headboard of her bed and passed out. Zoey looked at Chase and started to cry. She got down on her knees beside him ran her fingers threw his hair and prayed that he would be alright.
Nicole came back from lunch and asked "Zoey are you ok?"
Zoey shook her head and pointed to Chase who was unconscious on the floor.
Then Zoey said "he told me he was leaving to go take care of his sister. I freaked out and pushed him away when he tried to hug me. Nicole what am I going to do?"
Nicole hugged Zoey and said "I hear him breathing so you didn't kill him. He's going to have a bruise on his head so get some ice and put it on his head. When he wakes up he might not remember fighting with you. So if he asks you what happened tell him the truth. I'm going to go get some ice for his head. Stay with him Zoey until he wakes up."
Right after Nicole left the room Chase stirred and moaned. He reached for Zoey's hand and squeezed it. Tears fell down Zoey's cheeks and she hugged him tight.
Chase sat up and said "ouch my head. What did I hit it on? Zoey why are you crying? I'm alright I promise. Oh crap I promised mom I'd be right outside after I told you I was going home to Boston for a little while. I'll be back at PCA before you know it Zoey. I'll call you every night. I love you so much."
Zoey hugged Chase and said "I love you to and I hope Ann feels better soon."
Chase stood up and said "Zoey want to walk out to the car with me."
Zoey said "yes Chase let me just put my shoes on."
Zoey walked Chase out to the car and hugged him tight again. Then said "Chase remember what you promised me. I love you so much come back as soon as you can."
Chase let go of Zoey and said "Zoey I might not be coming back right away. I promised mom that I'd stay until Ann was feeling better."
Zoey said "I said come back as soon as you can. That means as soon as Ann is better I want to hold you in my arms."
Chase said "you can still do that Zoe. We have the web cam and I'll call you every night."
Zoey said "alright I better let you go. Nice meeting you Mrs. Matthews goodbye have a safe trip."
When Chase and his mom got to Boston his mom said "Chase how did Zoey take it. Was she upset or did she understand."
Chase said "mom you saw how Zoey acted when she walked me to the car."
His mom asked "does Zoey ever show how she really feels up front? Do any of your other friends know that you are returning home with me for a while or did you just tell Zoey?"
Chase said "Michael and Logan didn't need to know. They aren't as close as me and Zoey."
His mom smiled and asked "Chase do you remember what you said when you got home from PCA the first year you met Zoey?"
Chase said "no mom I don't. What did I tell you?"
His mom said "you couldn't stop talking about her. I finally asked you about Michael and Logan and you said they're like my brothers. I'll never stop telling them what's going on because of a girl."
Chase said "what am I going to do. I didn't tell Michael or Logan I was leaving PCA. I remember how upset I got with Zoey over hearing that she was going to leave from someone else."
When they pulled into the driveway his mom said "Ann's home but she can't talk. I need you to keep Rose relaxed while your dad and I take care of Ann."
Chase asked "mom when do I get to see Ann? I'm worried about her. She's my little sister."
His mom spoke calmly "Chase Rose is also your little sister. Your dad and I have been too busy with Ann to help her that's why we need you at home."
Chase said "I want to see Ann so I know that she's ok. Then I will take care of Rose mom."
His mom said "alright Chase but don't cry that will just upset her more."
Chase asked "mom is there something you're not telling me? If Ann's alright why would I start crying? Yes I'm a little worried that she can't talk but that won't last forever."
They went into the house Rose ran to Chase. He picked her up and hugged her. After he put her down Rose said "I missed you Chase."
Chase said "I missed you to Rose. Mom where's Ann? I want to see her before I spend time with Rose."
His mom said "Ann is upstairs sleeping. I want her to rest and she won't go to sleep at all if she knew you were here."
Chase went upstairs anyway. When he got to Ann and Rose's room he saw Ann sitting in bed. She opened her mouth to speak when she saw him but she couldn't. Chase sat down on the bed and hugged Ann. Then Ann closed her mouth and hugged him back.
Chase said "Ann I promise that I won't leave until you are able to speak again. I love you so much. Now get some sleep Ann."
Chase started to leave but Ann grabbed his hand and pointed to the chair next to the bed. Chase sat down and held Ann's hand until she fell asleep.
Meanwhile James sat next to Zoey holding her hand. Zoey was sobbing uncontrollably. James was one of Zoey's friends but he had no clue how to comfort her. He had found her in the girl's lounge crying and wanted to help. He had no clue why she was upset but he knew that she needed help. He took her to the boy's dorm and sat on his bed. He tried talking to her but he only made it worse. Finally James gave up and left the room.
Logan came into the room and said "Zoey get out I need to get dressed for basketball. Why are you in my dorm by yourself? Just because you and Chase are getting married it doesn't give you the right to be in here unless you're with him. Did Chase give you an extra key?"
Zoey drew in a shaking breath and said "no he didn't he's not even here anymore. He went back to Boston to take care of his sister. I know that the two of them are really close so I shouldn't be upset with him. It's just so hard to let go because I love him."
Logan said "Zoey Chase would have told me and Michael if he was going. Now leave before I get Dean Rivers."
Zoey stood up and Logan saw the tears glistening on her face. He didn't know why but he felt sorry for her. He put his arms around her.
Logan asked "Zoey what's bothering you? I've never seen you act like this. Talk to me or I'm going to have to kiss you."
Logan kissed Zoey gently on the lips just like he had done to Quinn. When he let go Quinn was staring at both him and Zoey. Her eyes were filled with hate and pain. Logan pushed Zoey off his lap and walked over to Quinn.
He said "baby I didn't mean it. I just wanted to make her feel better. I love you Quinn. Don't do this to me please."
Quinn left the room tears running down her cheeks. Logan slammed the door and flung himself in to a chair. Zoey sighed and put her arms around him.
Logan asked "Zoey why did I kiss you? Why did you let me kiss you? I'm in love with Quinn and you and Chase are going to get married. Why did we throw everything that we had away?"
Zoey said "go talk to her. Explain that it didn't mean anything. If Quinn really loves you she'll understand."
Logan said "you're right Zoey. I made a mistake and need to fix it. Zoey how did it feel when I kissed you?"
Zoey said "Logan I'm in love with Chase and I can't risk losing him. The only reason you would ask me that is if you were in love with me."
Logan said "I don't know what happened and I'd rather just forget it. I'm in love with Quinn and now I've hurt her. I promised I would never hurt her Zoey."
Zoey said "I didn't feel anything when you kissed me. It meant nothing I only stopped crying because I was shocked. Thank you for cheering me up Logan. I better leave so you can get changed for basketball."
Meanwhile Chase was downstairs playing chess with Rose. Rose laughed and said "I beat you again Chase. That means you owe me three bedtime stories instead of one."
Chase said "alright Rose but Ann gets to pick the first one. The other part of the deal is you need to take a bath and be in bed on time. Is that fair Rose?"
Rose said "yes Chase it does sound fair. Can you and I play your favorite game?"
Chase asked "what is my favorite game Rose?"
Rose said "I want to learn how to play would you rather. After one round I promise I will get ready for bed right away."
Chase thought for a minute and then asked "would you rather eat raw fish or rotten peanuts?"
Rose said "I'd rather eat the raw fish."
Chase laughed and said "now you ask me anything. It doesn't matter how gross the two choices are."
Rose asked "if I and Zoey were tied to a burning tree and you could only save one of us who would you save?"
Chase said "that's a really hard question Rose. I love Zoey and would die for her. That's why I asked her to marry me. Did you ask me this because you're jealous of how I feel about Zoey?"
Rose started to cry Chase held her close for a long time. He rubbed her back and slowly sang "who can you turn to when you're lost and scared? When you think your dreams have fallen out of the sky call your puffy headed brother. He's there for you no matter where the two of you are. He's never too far. You're not just my sister you're my wishing star. I'll never forget where you are."
Then Ann came downstairs tears were falling down her cheeks. Chase said "Rose get ready for bed."
Chase followed Ann into her room and sat down next to her on the bed. Ann sobbed hard.
Then she opened her mouth and then stuttered "get out of here! You said that was just between you and me."
Chase had mixed feelings he was happy that Ann was able to speak but he was upset that she had told him to go away."
He said "Ann you can talk that's great."
Ann snapped "of course I can talk puffy head! I only pretended not to be able to talk so mom would make you come home."
Chase was shocked and angry he had been very worried about his sister. He turned and left the room without kissing her goodnight.
He went into his room called Zoey. Zoey answered right away. When she saw that it was Chase.
Chase said "Zoey Ann was fine. She lied to mom and dad just so mom would make me come home."
Zoey asked "when do you think you'll be back?"
Chase said "as soon as I can Zoey. I'm so mad at Ann right now. I was so scared I love her."
Zoey said "now you know how I felt when you pretended to be dead."
Chase said "that's not the important thing Zoe. The important thing is I'm coming back to PCA."
Zoey said "Logan kissed me. I was crying after you left because I missed you Logan came into your dorm room and kissed me. Quinn saw us and she won't speak to him or me."
Chase tried to keep the anger out of his voice when he said "How could you kiss Logan Zoey? I could understand James or maybe even Michael but Logan what was running through your head? I'm really tired goodnight Zoey."
Chase hung up and punched his pillow. He put his head in his hands and cried. He had started to calm down when his dad knocked on the door. Chase was happy and surprised his dad had been on a trip for work in Florida. He was not supposed to be home for another month.
His dad said "Chase Ann just told me and your mom what she did. Your mom and I talked and you'll be going back to PCA tomorrow night."
Chase said "dad why are you back early?"
His dad said "that's the best part Chase I got reassigned and am now going to be writing a story about how girls being at PCA have affected the boys. The boarding schools in Florida want to do the same thing. The problem is that they don't have the research to show that it's a good idea. The reason I was in Florida was I had to talk to the dean and get his opinion on the situation. I couldn't get answer out of him so my boss wanted me to connect with students at PCA and find out how they felt. That means I'll be at PCA while you're on campus and we can spend some time together."
Chase said "dad the last time you and I spent time together you embarrassed in front of Rebecca. If you're going to be working on campus please don't embarrass me."
Chase's dad looked hurt but he said "Chase I promise that I won't embarrass you ok. How is Rebecca any way Chase we haven't heard from her in a long time?"
Chase sighed and said "she was trying to keep me from hanging out with Zoey. I told her to get lost. It was the only way to keep my friendship with Zoey."
Chase's dad said "Chase I'm sorry I did realize that you felt so strongly about your friendship with Zoey. Now it's late so get some sleep."
Chase tried to go to sleep but images of Logan kissing Zoey pounded in his brain. He wasn't angry with Zoey he was just confused. He wanted to hold Zoey close and ask why she kissed Logan when she loved him. He had just started to drift into a peaceful sleep when he heard Ann sobbing like her heart had been broken. He got up and ran into Ann and Rose's room. He went over to Ann's side of the room and put her head in his lap. He rubbed her back gently and didn't leave her side until she stopped crying. Ann didn't wake up until Chase left the room. She would never know that her older brother had been the one to help end her nightmare.
Mean while at PCA Quinn was sitting on the floor of the dorm room that she shared with Lola and Zoey crying. She thought that after Logan kissed her she would never be this heart broken again. She heard the door knob turn and ran into the bathroom to wash her face. She was not going to let Zoey or Lola see her cry. She had always been a brave scientific girl. She was not going to lose that reputation because of Logan.
When she thought she was done crying she opened the door ands sat down in a chair. Zoey was lying on her stomach reading email. She saw an email from Chase and opened it. When she read the subject she screamed. Lola said "Zoey Chase is coming back. There's no reason to get upset. Is he going to be late or is he on his way?"
Zoey said "Chase's dad is coming to PCA with Chase. He never talks about his father. I think this might be my chance to find out why. He sent this email this morning while in the car. So he should be here soon."
Chase and his dad pulled into the PCA parking lot. Chase got out and said "dad remember not to embarrass me in front of Zoey."
His dad said "I promise. Just let me meet her and then I'll let you do your thing."
Chase said "dad I need to talk to Zoey first. She might be having a hard time. She's my best friend and always will be."
His dad asked "what kind of hard time? Did she break a nail?"
Chase said "seriously she needs me. One of my friends kissed her. I'm not mad at Zoey dad if you're going to tell me to calm down before I talk to her. I'm pissed at Logan! How could he have had the nerve to kiss my girlfriend? I just don't know what to do."
His dad said "first you're going to talk to Zoey. What ever you do don't yell. Fighting will only make her feel worse. When you talk to Logan keep your other friends out of it. That will help save face and your friendship."
Chase gave his dad a hug and said "as much as you embarrass me I love you. I wish you'd been home when grandma died. You would have been much better at comforting me then mom."
His dad asked "do you really mean that Chase? I love you to son but I think there're two things you care about more then me right now Zoey and Logan."
Chase ran to room 101 and found Zoey hugging Nicole who was sobbing. Chase looked at Zoey and she tried to smile.
Chase left the room and went to talk to Logan. Logan was in his dorm room alone. Chase went into the room and said "sit down now. You and I really need to talk."
Logan sat down in a chair and said "ok man shoot. Tell me what ever you need to tell me."
Chase sat down in a chair across from Logan and asked "why did you kiss Zoey? You know I love her more then life itself."
Logan said "I found her crying in the dorm room. I wanted her to stop and leave so I could get changed. I asked her what was wrong but she didn't stop crying. I kissed her just so she would stop. It didn't mean anything."
Chase said "I'm not upset. You cheered her up the only way you knew how. I should go talk to her. When I tried talking to her earlier Nicole was crying. So I didn't get a chance to let her know that I'm not mad at her. Come outside with me for a minute. I would like you to meet my dad."
Logan followed Chase and saw a tall man with hair that was bushier then Chase's leaned up against a large tree.
Logan was shocked he had known Chase for several years and he had never once mentioned his father. Chase hugged the man in the suite and motioned for Logan to come closer.
Chase said "dad this is my friend Logan. The one I told you about. After I go talk to Zoey all of us are going out to dinner my treat."
Chase's dad spoke gently "son I'll pay for dinner. Just you and your friends will go out. I need to check into a hotel anyway. You don't need your old man ruining your fun."
Chase frowned at his father and said "dad I want you to meet Zoey, Lola, Quinn, Nicole, and Michael. Plus you won't need to get a hotel because Logan can get you a bed in our dorm."
Chase's dad said "I'll meet Zoey but that's it. You need some alone time with your friends. Unlike your mom I understand that. I refuse to get in the way of my son having a good time."
Tears welled up in Logan's eyes. He turned his head away from Chase and sniffed hard. Chase put his arm around him and smacked him on the shoulder.
Logan said "Chase I should go make sure that Quinn is ok. I'll see you at dinner."
Chase's dad asked "does your friend have a poor relationship with his father? He got upset when I said that I wasn't going to interfere with my son having a good time."
Chase said "Logan's father is a movie producer and he travels a lot. Logan barley sees his father. I guess he thought that because I never mentioned you that I was in a similar situation. I think that he's mad at me because I have something he wants a father who isn't too busy with work to spend time with him."
Chase's father said "go get the girl of your dreams. That's who you want me to meet right."
Chase ran to Zoey's dorm and went into the room. Zoey tackled him to the ground. Chase rolled over and kissed her softly on the lips. Zoey pulled away and helped him stand up.
Zoey asked "Chase when you came in before why didn't you hug me? I missed you fuzzy head."
Chase said "it didn't seem like the right time. Nicole was crying and you were comforting her. I didn't want to seem insensitive. What was bothering her anyway? She was crying pretty hard. I want you to come meet my dad Zoey."
Zoey said "Chase Nicole might have to leave PCA. I told her to go talk to her parents who were here to come get her. She hasn't come back yet but I hope that she won't have to leave. I would love to meet your father but I don't want to leave until Nicole comes back so I know what's going on."
Chase asked "Zoe you're ok right? I get the feeling you're either upset or angry with me. I didn't talk about my dad because I didn't want Logan getting upset. I already had Logan meet my dad and he took off."
Zoey said "Logan was here. He took Quinn out dancing to prove that he loved her." I really hope that Nicole is alright Chase. She was so happy to be back I'd hate to see that happiness destroyed."
Chase wiped the tears from Zoey's eyes and said "you can't meet my dad crying like that. I told him you were the best thing in my life. He might not be willing to chip in money for the wedding if he thinks we're fighting. Is Logan alright he trying not to cry when he met my dad."
Zoey said "He's fine Chase. I just hope Nicole comes back soon."
Chase said "my dad wants to meet the girl of my dreams. Before he checks into the hotel I want all of us to go out to dinner."
Zoey asked "why can't your dad check into the hotel before dinner? That would give Nicole time to get here. I think your dad would want to meet all of your friends not just me and Logan."
Chase said "dad doesn't wasn't want to interfere when I hang out with my friends. If he checks into the hotel he'll stay. He won't join us for dinner. My dad and I haven't spent time together in years Zoey. I really missed him. This assignment could actually be a chance for us to spend time together. I don't want anything to mess it up."
Zoey sighed and said "why didn't you just tell me I would've understood. Let's just go meet your father."
Chase said "Zoe you aren't mad at me are you. We can wait for Nicole. That will give me a chance to introduce my dad to my other friends. I don't want him to meet you until right before dinner. I'm taking everybody to that new fancy restaurant that they built on the beach."
Zoey felt tears prick her eyes she turned her head away from Chase. As if Chase could feel the tears start falling he put his arms around her. She leaned into him silent tears rolling down her cheeks.
Chase waited until Zoey had stopped crying before he asked "what's wrong Zoe? Don't worry I can afford to take you there because my grandma left me a large amount of money."
Zoey said "Chase it's not about where you're taking us for dinner. I'm worried I might not be good enough for you the way your father sees me. I don't want to be judged by my boyfriend's father. He doesn't even know me Chase and he's going to form his own opinion that might be wrong."
Chase said "no matter what my father's opinion of you is I will always love you remember that Zoey."
Then Nicole came into the room. Her eyes were red from crying but she had a big smile on her face. She hugged Chase and Zoey.
Nicole let go of Zoey and said "I'm staying here at PCA. Zoey thank you. I owe you big time but could I ask both you and Chase for help. I told my parents that James was my boyfriend. The problem is that I never fixed the problem that happened a few weeks ago."
Chase said "we'll help you. I'll invite James to join us for dinner. I want my dad to meet all my friends not just Zoey. I'm hoping that having all of our friends there when I ask my dad to pay for the wedding will help Zoey relax. She's afraid that my dad might not think that she's good enough for me.
Just then Lola came into the room. She hugged Chase and Zoey. Nicole started looking for a dress. She held up a blue one with flowers and a red one with sparkles.
Zoey said "I know what you're going to ask me. I love the red one and so will James. Now help me and Lola pick out a dress."
Zoey held up a dark green dress with sparkles and a red and cream one.
Lola said "I love the red and cream one! Nicole which dress do you like?"
Nicole said "I love the red and cream one as well. Red is your color Zoey. Lola you should wear the green one."
Lola said "Chase could you please leave so we can get changed."
As soon as Chase left the room Zoey dropped the dress on the floor and started to cry.
Nicole and Lola put their arms around her. The rubbed her back and wondered what was wrong. Chase was taking Zoey out on a real date. This is what she always wanted a date with someone she really cared about.
Once Zoey stopped crying Lola asked "what's the matter Zoe? You're going out with your boyfriend you should be happy. Did he do something incredibly stupid before Nicole and I got here?"
Zoey voice shook when she said "just tell Chase I got sick."
Nicole said "Zoey that would be lying. You're not sick and best friends don't lie to each other."
A fresh wave of tears fell down Zoey's cheeks. Lola and Nicole had no clue what to say to her. So they got dressed and went to meet Chase's dad.
Meanwhile Logan swept Quinn off her feet. They had been dancing for almost two hours and were both very tired.
Logan asked "does this prove that what happened with Zoey didn't mean anything?"
Quinn said "It proves that you love me. It doesn't prove that you're not in love with Zoey."
Logan said "Quinn listen to me. You just came in at the wrong time. She was crying because she missed Chase. I had basket ball practice and couldn't change with her in the dorm. I kissed her so she would stop crying not because I loved her."
Quinn said "I'm sorry Logan. I guess part of me still sees you as the jerk that would go out with six girls at a time."
Logan asked "what do I need to do to change that? I love you Quinn. I'd do anything for you. I've never felt this way about any one before. What I'm trying to say is will you marry me?"
Quinn said "I don't know what to say. I love you to Logan but give me time to think."
Logan said "that's fair enough. It's late and we're having dinner with Chase and his dad tonight."
Quinn asked "Logan is it a wear a dress type dinner or wear pants dinner? If it's a relaxing dinner Sushi Rocks then I should change."
Logan said "it's a wear a dress dinner so both of us are dressed alright. We better go now though so Chase doesn't think we bailed on him. Tonight is really important to him."
Meanwhile Chase was standing on the beach waiting for Zoey. His dad had met everyone but Quinn, James, and Zoey."
Chase's dad asked "where's Zoey we can't wait forever?"
Chase said "dad you, Michael, Lola, and Nicole go find a table. I'll go find Zoey, Quinn, and Logan."
Chase ran to Zoey's dorm and knocked on the door. No one answered but Chase heard heart wrenching sobs. The door was unlocked so he pushed it open. Zoey was laying on her bed sobbing. An open scrap book was next to the bed.
Chase touched Zoey lightly on the shoulder. She looked up and sobbed "Chase I forgot about dinner just let me get changed"
Chase said "why were you crying Zoe. Are you sure that you're alright. You can always talk to me."
Zoey sobbed "I can't do this. I can't meet your dad. I'm scared that if your dad doesn't like me you might not – love me anymore. It's clear to me that how your dad feels about me is important to you."
Chase said "you're right Zoe. I put too much pressure on you. You should know that I will always love you. It matters what my dad thinks but only to a certain point."
Zoey said "let me get dressed and I'll meet you outside Chase."
Chase went outside and saw Quinn and Logan walking up the beach. Logan took Quinn's wrap off her shoulders and hugged her close. Quinn had a bright smile on her face. Logan winked at her and kissed her on the lips.
They went inside the restaurant. Zoey came outside a few minutes later. The tears had been washed off her face and she smiled at Chase.
Chase took her wrap and hung it up on a hook. James came into the restaurant. He frowned at Chase.
Chase said "James you're not going to be eating alone. Nicole told her parents that she was dating you. Go sit next to her she's asking for a second chance."
James sat down next to Nicole. Nicole blushed when James put his arm around her.
Chase's dad said "Chase I've met all of your friends except Zoey. Is she here or was she sick?"
Chase said "dad can you meet her after dinner. She's a little scared that you won't like her."
After dinner every body except Zoey, Chase, and his dad went back to their dorms. As if Chase could tell that she was nervous he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. Zoey instantly relaxed and smiled at him.
Chase's dad kissed Zoey's hand and said "she's much prettier than Rebecca. I can see why she means so much to you. If you want her to become part of the family she has to show me that she's more than just a pretty face."
Zoey said "Mr. Matthews give me a chance to prove myself to you. I love Chase more then anything."
Chase's dad said "it's no wonder that his sisters are jealous of you. Why just last night his sister Rose asked him who he would save if both you and her were tied to a burning tree. He said that he would rescue you because he loves you so much."
Zoey said "Chase no matter how much you love me your sisters should always come first. I don't care what the situation is."
Chase's eyes filled with tears he said "dad you promised you wouldn't embarrass me in front of her. You not only embarrassed me you started a fight! I have to talk to her."
Chase's dad said "Chase I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I didn't think she'd get upset. I'll talk to her and explain everything."
Chase snapped "dad you've done enough! Just go check into the hotel! I don't want to even know you're here for the rest of the semester!"
Chase's dad sighed and said "son you're right I screwed up. Give me a chance to prove to you that I can change."
Chase watched Zoey run away from him tears falling down her cheeks. Chase knew that there were two places that Zoey would go. One was fountain and the other was the lake. He also knew that because of the fight his dad had caused he was the last person she wanted to see. He turned and followed her anyway because he knew that she needed him.
Meanwhile back at the girl's lounge Nicole, Quinn, and Lola were talking about how strange Chase had been acting.
Lola said "when he first sat down he wouldn't stop staring at his dad. I hope that he's ok. He and Zoey didn't come back with us. Chase has never even mentioned his dad before today."
Quinn said "I want to know why tonight was so important to him. He scared Zoey half to death. She thought that Chase wouldn't love her anymore if his dad didn't like her."
Nicole said "I think I know why tonight was such a big deal. Chase asked Zoey to marry him right. Neither of them have the money to pay for the wedding. I think that Chase wanted his dad to meet Zoey so he could ask him for the money to pay for the wedding. I don't think he meant to scare Zoey either. That doesn't seem like something he would do."
