Chapter 9 – The Break Up and a Unexpected Kiss

Later that week, in the student lounge…

Logan was relaxing after a huge week of tension and rumors. He recalled the past weeks events as he flipped through a sports magazine. Guys had come on to his girlfriend, Chase was acting paranoid and saying something about important information about the rumors, and how the populars were now asking him about everything he did with Rebecca.

Rebecca was off with her roomies and her cousin to the mall this Saturday night. Chase and Michael had finally decided to leave him alone to catch an on-campus movie. It was then when Logan was going to hear something that would ruin his relationship with his girlfriend for a long time. Vicky and Sarah had just arrived in from a late lunch, and were just gossiping as normal teenagers.

"Did you hear the latest? I heard Rebecca has been making up the rumors herself. From what I hear, Ivy says that she just acts innocent to cover up what she really did, and what she spreads around. She is such a slut."

"Exactly. I think she needs to go back to Florida and stay with her psycho dad who obsesses with the military."

Vicky and Sarah gossiped on, but the rest went in one ear, and out the other. She was making up the rumors? Had she done it to make him look like a jerk? What was the purpose of all this?

Logan dropped the magazine back on the glass table and left the room. He had to go talk to Rebecca. Maybe she was back already…

Room 101…

Rebecca collapsed onto the bed with her two shopping bags. Zoey, Nicole and Dana were still out at the mall. Rebecca had decided to come back early to see if Logan wanted to go snuggle in his room and watch a movie. She lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about nothing in particular. It was then, when someone knocked at the door. Rebecca lazily got up, mumbling about getting there when she is good and ready. She leans on the door, yawning lazily, than opening to the door. As she opens the door she leans it and looks out in the hallway. Logan stood at the doorway, eyeing his girlfriend curiously.

"Hey Beck, can I come in?" Rebecca didn't know what to feel from the sound of Logan's tone of voice. His voice seemed cold, but at the same time warming and comforting. She knew something was up.

"Uh, sure, Lo. What's up?" Logan came in after she closed the door behind him. He sat on the bed and stared at his girlfriend making her way to Dana's bunk. She stared down at him with her hazel eyes.

"Well, I wanted to talk to you about something that I heard."

"Don't tell me you actually are listening to those rumors, Lo. That stuff is as true as Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny."

"But, Rebecca, my rep is on the line with those stupid rumors about you. I have gone from a school hero to a school zero." Logan demonstrated with his thumbs.

Rebecca raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me? What the hell does your school rep have to do with 'us'?"

"What does it have to do with 'us'? Plenty! The rumors being spread around are making you look like a whore and me being a pervert! That's what the hell it has to do with us!" Logan was now shouting at Rebecca. Why did she seem not to care?

"Who the heck cares about are reps? I don't, okay? And you were even more a pervert before we met! Do I even need to list the names of the little sluts you dated before I even came into the picture?" Rebecca too, was now yelling. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, upset by the things being said between them.

Needless to say, the conversation did not get any nicer. Logan eventually opened the door, and slammed it behind him. This was just not his day. Chase shouted hello as he stormed passed, but didn't respond, and just kept going. Chase came towards the room where Rebecca, Zoey, and the other girls stay. When he came to the door, he heard sobbing coming from behind it. Chase slipped the spare key that Zoey had given to him in case of an Elvis emergency (Speaking of Elvis, he was staying in Dustin's room at the moment, and still being the dominant being in the room, getting the bed, and Dustin getting he floor.) and went into the room. Rebecca was on the top bunk, with her hair a mess and her face buried in the pillow. Black stains were over Dana's pillow and her cheeks were a bright pinkish red from what Chase could make out.

Chase slowly moved on to the top bunk, watching his girlfriend's cousin sob into the pillow. He remembered what Rebecca was like when she was bummed out as a kid, and in comparison, this was just as bad. She was usually a very eager and happy, as many have noticed for the past few weeks, but now, her personality was flopping down the chain.

Chase laid down to next to his old best friend, and put his arm around her middle. "Hey Becca." He whispered. She sniffed, and turned to Chase as she rubbed the black lines from her tear stained cheeks.

'Hey."

"You wanna talk about it?" Rebecca didn't seem to notice that Chase was holding on to her in way only her boyfriend would. She turned so that she was on her back, and Chase was on his side holding on to her.

"Logan just broke up with me. He said I ruined his rep, and that I must really be a whore for those rumors to have started…" More tears erupted from Rebecca's eyes, and her eyes were already the reddest they could already get.

Chase made the shushing sounds that had comforted her when they where kids. "Is that what he said?"

"His exact words. I hate him! I can't believe that he was my boyfriend!" He tears started to slow, but Chase's shirt was still a bit damp. Chase put his hand on her neck and head as if he were holding a baby close to his chest. What happened next was hard for both Chase and Rebecca believe.

Chase leaned in to Rebecca and met his lips with hers, slowly making the kiss more intense. Rebecca held on, not controlling the kiss that was taking place, and too upset to push her old best friend away. She still had tears rolling down her cheeks, but she had now forgotten about Logan, even though they had just broken up.

Okay, now, you all want to kill me, but trust me. This story will turn out okay and no, I don't think there is much of a chance of making Chase and Rebecca a couple. There will be some few minor things, but you will all just have to see what I have waiting for all of you…
