A/N: Okay. So The next chapter. It's set a few months after the last one, it's almost spring break.
Dana and Logan are still together. Dana's mom is in rehab and has been sober since January, making it four months.
(Logan POV)
"What do you mean I can't come to Florida for spring break? You promised Dad!" I said angrily into my phone. "I haven't see you or Mom or Jess since the summer. I couldn't come home for Christmas and you said I could come home for this break!"
"Logan, you can go to Florida if you want, but I was going to say that the whole family is going to be in Cleveland because I'm filming from this week until August there." Malcolm Reese said "And I know your girlfriend lives there, so I thought that would be an added bonus."
"Are you serious Dad?"
"Yes, of course. Why would I make that up. My new movie is going to be big, huge. It's staring..."
"Sorry, Dad. I got to get to class."
"I have to go to class, or I've got to get to class. Grammar is very important I want you to do good in school."
"To do well in school." I corrected my father and hung up.
I hopped on my Jet X and rode over to the girls' room. Michael and Chase had left a few minutes before me, once I started talking to my dad. Once I got to Butler Hall, everyone laughed at me. I finally asked why.
"Oh, I don't know. You're just wearing the biggest smile I've ever see." Zoey said in her southern accent.
"Yeah, when we left you were mad about your dad." Chase said.:
"Are you going to Florida? Even if you are, there's no reason for that big a smile." Michael piped in.
"Nope. I'm not going to Florida. I'm going somewhere better."I said, getting interrupted by Nicole.
"Oh my gosh! Are you going to France? Or on a cruise in the Carribean or..."
"No," I said. "But you're close with the Cruz."
They all gave me what-the-heck-are-you-talking-about looks.
"I'm going to OHIO!" I said and everyone squealed, including Michael and Chase, which was not as cute and adorable as Zoey and Nicole.
"Okay, call me dumb blonde, but what does a cruise have to do with Ohio? And why would you rather go there than Florida?" Cassie said. I guess we never told her about Dana, or at least that we were together or something.
"Well, Dumb Blonde," I said. "It has nothing to do with a cruise... c-r-u-i-s-e. But it does have to do with a Cruz, C-r-u-z. Dana Cruz, my girlfriend who lives there."
We were on our way to lunch and once we go there, everyone started asking me questions about Dana and Ohio.
"Well, my dad called this morning and told me that I wasn't going to be going to Florida this spring break. I got mad and then he told me that I was going to Ohio because he's shooting a movie there. Right there in Cleveland. Right near Dana. Isn't that great?"
There was a collective yes and I was over joyed.
(Dana POV)
My mom has been in re-hab for four months. She's been in an institution so I've been staying alone. I told her I wanted to be alone and she let me. Lola... Mom, has good judgment. I'd been calling her that, Mom.
I hadn't told Logan or anyone at PCA that I was coming back next year. Or why I'd left in the first place. Logan was coming for spring break. That made me happy. I had heard about his dad filming. When I told Tarah about it she totally gushed. I told her she could meet him. She squealed. It reminded me of Nicole's squealing all last year. I really missed PCA.
Anyway, once Logan got to Ohio, he came over and asked why I was all alone. I started to tell him some lie about my mom being on a business trip but I couldn't.
"Logan, the truth is that my mom is an alcoholic. She's been in re-hab for the last four months. She's getting better." I told him, feeling like a jhuge weight was being lifted off my sholders.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I guess I was embarrassed. And my dad walked out on my mom when he found out that she was pregnant. With me. They didn't want me. Either of them." I could feel tears welling up in my eyes.
"Dana..." Logan said, pulling me into his big strong arms. "Dana." he repeated my name and we fell asleep right there on the couch.
(Logan POV)
We were awoken by a short red head girl standing by the couch shaking Dana. What the heck, who was this girl?
"Oh, Logan," Dana said. "This is my best friend Tarah. Tarah, this is Logan, by boyfriend."
We shook hands and then we all went out for coffee. I was going to meet a few more of Dana's friends.
"Okay Logan, this is "Mike, Matt, and John, and then the girls Kirsten, Hazel, and Tarah, you already met." she introduced me to all of them. All her friends were really nice. Around noon, we left them and went to the mall. We didn't buy anything we just walked around, holding hands.
"Dana, I got you something." I finally said. "Well, really I made it from scrap metal in shop." I opened the box and showed her the bracelet I had made her. "It's metal, but it's kind of like a chain thing. I don't know. Mr. McCain gave me some special stuff when I told him what I was doing."
I had engraved it with "Dana and Logan Forever and a Day." She just smiled and let me put it on her wrist. A perfect fit.
"I have a surprise for you too. But you have to wait to get yours."
I wondered what it was the whole spring break and the whole plane ride home.
