Chapter 6

"Ok. Bobby should be out right now," Michael noted. (A/N: Bobby is the D.A. for their dorm.)

"So what do we do?" Nicole asked.

"Just to be sure, I'm going to knock on the door. If he's there I'll make up some problem that'll lure him away. Then you'll have to go in and get the popcorn." Michael explained. "Think you can do it?"

Nicole paused. "Yeah, I can do it," she decided.

"Ok. Now stay hidden," he told her, then went up to the door.

He took a deep breath then knocked. No answer. Michael knocked again, louder this time. No answer. He carefully turned the knob. The door swung open and Michael looked around. The room was empty.

"Nicole!" he whispered. Nicole poked her head around the corner. He motioned her to follow him.

They crept quietly into the room, closing the door behind them. Michael headed over to the cabinet next to the refrigerator and opened it. He grabbed a bag of microwave popcorn.

"You guys have a microwave?" Nicole questioned.

"Nope," Michael replied, opening Bobby's microwave and putting the popcorn in it.

Nicole glanced nervously at the door. "Shouldn't someone keep watch?" she inquired.

Michael looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "We should be out of here before he comes back," he observed.

Nicole hesitated. "How much longer for the popcorn?" she asked.

"Two minutes," Michael answered.

Nicole watched the door. Suddenly she gasped. "What?" Michael exclaimed.

Nicole looked down. "Sorry, I thought I saw the doorknob move," she confessed.

The microwave beeped. Michael grabbed the popcorn. "Hurry! Lets get out of here!" he shouted.

Zoey looked up at Chase. He was genuinely worried about her. She knew if she told him, he'd do everything he could to help. But what could he do? There was nothing that could be done now. "He's gone!" she blurted.

"Who's gone?" Chase asked patiently.

Zoey burst into a fresh round of tears. She couldn't say it. Just thinking it hurt. Actually saying it out loud…no. "It's all my fault!" she sobbed.

"What is Zoey? What happened?" he inquired.

Zoey took a deep breath. "D-Dustin!" she exclaimed, the began sobbing uncontrollably.

Of course! Chase thought. She wasn't over Dustin's death. That was understandable. She was there. She saw it all. And on top of all that pain, he was her little brother. "Oh, Zo–" Chase began.

"D-Don't tell…anyone," she choked out.

"Why not?" Chase wondered.

"I don't want them to worry about me. I have to be strong. Nicole always looks to me to be strong. If I break down…I couldn't do that to her," Zoey explained.

"Zoey, if you told them, they'd understand! Death is a big thing," Chase assured her.

"Please don't tell them Chase!" she begged.

Chase sighed. "I won't tell them if you don't want me to but I think you should tell them," he told her.

Zoey took a deep breath. "Do you have a tissue?" she asked.

Chase gave a small smile and handed her the box of tissues. "You'll be ok Zo," he whispered.

Zoey gave a small smile. She was glad she'd told Chase. He understood. He'd help her. "Thanks Chase…for everything," she sniffed.

Before Chase could respond, Nicole and Michael came flying back into the dorm, popcorn in tow.

"We did it!" Nicole squealed.

"Good job!" Zoey commented, putting on a cheerful exterior.

"Lets get this movie started!" Michael announced.

The movie started, but Chase wasn't paying much attention. He glanced over at Zoey. She wore a smile on the outside, but now he knew that she was broken up on the inside. He had to help her. He hated seeing her suffering like this.

The kiss barely lasted even a second. They both pulled away, overwhelmed by emotions. Dana looked at the door to her room. It seemed further away than it ever had.

Logan took a deep breath. That kiss…wow. It was nothing, yet it meant everything to him. What the hell is wrong with me? he wondered nervously. He looked at Dana, trying to see how she felt. He looked into her eyes, but broke the gaze quickly. This was too much for him. "You're almost at your room," he commented.

Dana felt like that wasn't true at all, nevertheless, she agreed. "Yeah. I…I better…go," she announced.

"Yeah," was all Logan could think to say.

One, two, three, four…she was there. Dana took out her key and opened the door. "Well I guess I'll go and…lie down…like I said I was going to…since I…yeah," she said.

Logan nodded. "Yeah," he agreed. "Yeah. Yeah, you should lie down."

"Yeah," Dana replied.

"Ok, then, I…" he trailed off.

"You should go," Dana told him quickly. She didn't want him there. You left to get away from him. she reminded herself.

"Remember our bet," Logan pointed out lamely.

Dana thought for a moment on how to respond. How would she normally respond? She closed the door in his face. Good enough.

A/N: I like the popcorn thing with Nicole and Michael. And, as always, I love the Dana and Logan stuff. And Zoey gets the sadness stuff. And this isn't wording itself right. lol. Anyway, I hope everyone liked this chapter! I don't think I'm going to post the next one until I get at least 5 reviews. After I get 5 reviews, I'll post it as soon as I get a chance. Bye!
