A/N: Thanks to everyone so much! You guys are so awesome! I am SO sorry it took me so long to post this! When did I post the last chapter? A week ago? Yeah. I went away over the weekend so I couldn't post it and then I had so much homework – I was up past midnight last night! It was awful! But now it's the weekend so I have time to post. Now, I don't want to deprive you of another chapter much long so, onto my oh-so fabulous reviewers!

Ashlee – Thanks! I'm glad you like it! Thanks for reviewing!

Ella Ynrihan – Thanks! I'm glad you're liking the story! Thanks for reviewing!

Rayii – Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Thanks for reviewing!

hopefully – I agree! I love Dana and Logan together. Since I already have all the chapters written out, I can't make them any longer, but I've been working on the sequel and the two main things I've been working on improving are the chapter titles and the length. I forget but I think there might be some kind of long chapter still to come. I'm glad you like the story! Thanks for reviewing!

melonbar92 – Yeah, I think I actually almost put that somewhere. I think I changed it though. I'm glad you like it! Thanks for reviewing!

chichicutie24 – More making out in this chapter. lol. For Chase's call, I have it twice, showing different views. The first is how I normally write the phone conversations and then the second time it's kind of how Dana hears it and stuff. That was a kind of bad explanation but all you have to do is scroll down and read it so no worries. lol. I'm glad you like the story! Thanks for reviewing!

soapmaniac22 – Thanks! I'm glad you're liking the story! Thanks for reviewing!

Monica – Thanks! I love writing the Dana and Logan stuff. They really are perfect for each other. I'm glad you like the story! Thanks for reviewing!

ashton – Normally I'm so much faster with posting the chapters. I hope you like this chapter! I'm glad you're liking the story! Thanks for reviewing!

music4mysoul – Thanks! I'm really glad you like it! I like having them older too. I love when Dana and Logan kiss too. Thanks for reviewing – twice!

darkember14 – Thanks! I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 24

Chase hung up with Zoey. "I have to call Logan," he announced. Michael ignored him, remaining in his "television trance." Chase sighed and dialed Logan's number.

"You can tell Zoey that we're fine, Chase," Logan growled.

"Ok. But, uhh, where are you guys?" he asked.

"Out," Logan snapped.

"Where?" Chase questioned.

"Off campus," Logan answered.

"Where?" Chase repeated.

"It doesn't matter!" Logan barked.

Chase would've backed off, but he thought of Zoey and held his ground. "Well, at least tell me when you guys will be back," he insisted.

There was a pause on Logan's end. He thought about it. "Pass on the message that we'll be late enough so you guys should cover for us during room check," he declared.

"How late?" Chase persisted.

Chase heard Logan sigh. "What time is it anyway?" Logan inquired.

"Around 7," Chase replied.

"Then we'll be back around…" Logan paused as he did the math. "I don't know."

Chase threw up his free hand, exasperated. "Why don't you know?" he shouted.

"Because it depends on how long Dana wants to stay," Logan explained.

Chase heard Dana's voice in the background exclaim, "Stay where?"

Logan ignored her and told Chase, "Just tell Zoey that we won't be back anytime soon. Don't wait up for us." Chase heard the line go dead. He sighed then called Zoey to tell her what information he'd gotten out of Logan.

Logan and Dana had resumed their make out session when Logan's phone now began to ring. Logan groaned. "I really hate Zoey right now," he muttered.

"Hey, I'm not so fond of her either," Dana added, crossing her arms across her chest and pouting slightly.

"Do I have to answer it?" he whined.

Dana sighed. "They're going to keep calling," she pointed out.

Logan sighed as well and answered his phone. "You can tell Zoey that we're fine Chase."

Dana watched Logan as he listened to Chase, annoyed. "Out," was Logan's reply to whatever Chase had said. "Off campus."

Dana smiled slightly. She had to admit, Zoey was being very persistent in finding out where they were. "It doesn't matter!" Dana could tell Logan was getting frustrated now. She inched closer to him.

Chase must've finally said something worthwhile, because Dana saw the look on Logan's face change. He was thinking…" Pass on the message that we'll be late enough so you guys should cover for us during room check."

Dana grinned. Where ever it was he was taking her, it must be really good. She still wanted to know where it was though. Logan sighed. Dana could tell he was really getting tired of Zoey's worrying about them. "What time is it anyway?"

Chase answered. "Then we'll be back around…" Logan appeared to be adding up hours and events and stuff that Dana had no idea about since she didn't even know where they were going. Finally Logan replied, "I don't know."

Dana heard the sound of Chase's voice, but couldn't make out what he said. He sounded aggravated though. "Because it depends on how long Dana wants to stay."

"Stay where?" she piped up.

Logan ignored her and resumed his conversation with Chase. Dana pouted and scooted away from him. "Just tell Zoey that we won't be back anytime soon. Don't wait up for us."

Logan hung up, then turned his phone off. "No more interruptions," he assured her, tossing his phone to the other side of the limo.

"No," Dana argued. She took out her phone and did the same. "Now, no more interruptions."

They both smiled. "Now that the interruptions are done with," Logan whispered, pulling Dana into him for a kiss. They returned to making out.

Zoey sighed. "Ok, thanks for trying Chase. It does help a little…I guess," Zoey reasoned.

Chase sighed as well on the other end. "Ok. So, uhh, have a good rest of your girls night. And try not to worry too much," he pleaded.

"I'll try," Zoey assured him.

They said their goodbyes and hung up. Zoey physically joined Nicole back with the movie, but mentally she was still searching for Dana and Logan. Should I try to call Dana again? she wondered.

"Zoey? Hello?" Nicole brought her back to life.

Zoey blinked. "Huh?"

"You're missing a great part!" Nicole exclaimed.

"Oh, sorry. It's just…I'm still worried about Dana and Logan. Should I try to call again?" Zoey asked.

"Maybe I should try calling this time," Nicole suggested.

"Are you sure? You don't have to," Zoey told her.

"No, I will," Nicole decided, taking out her cell phone and dialing Dana's number. It rang and rang and rang and rang until…it went to Dana's voicemail. Nicole hung up nervously. "Voicemail," she explained, trying to make it sound like it wasn't a big deal.

"No!" Zoey shouted. "Now how are we supposed to know if they're ok?"

Zoey seemed on the verge of tears and it scared Nicole. She'd never seen her like this. But as she watched Zoey seem to fall apart, she realized she had seen it before. When Dustin died, she'd lost her strong, outer shell. She seemed so weak and fragile. She was upset, always on the verge of tears.

Nicole saw a single tear drip down Zoey's cheek. "Zo, talk to me. What's wrong?" Nicole questioned, sitting Zoey down on the bed.

"Nothing," Zoey lied, trying to act fine.

"Zoey, I'm your best friend. You can tell me anything," she reminded her.

Zoey inhaled. Should she tell her? She had felt better after telling Chase…but did she really want Nicole all worried about her and trying to get her to talk all the time? No. "It's…it's nothing," Zoey tried to reassure her.

Nicole frowned. She knew Zoey was lying and she was hurt that Zoey wouldn't tell her the truth. "Ok," she replied, dejected. She sat down back in front of the television. "Coming?" she inquired wearily.

Zoey sat down next to her but neither of them were really paying attention to the movie anymore. Though Zoey had lied so Nicole wouldn't worry, it really only made Nicole worry more. What's wrong with Zoey? she thought. I wonder if anyone kn-Chase! I bet Chase would know what it is! I should ask him tomorrow. I have to find out what's wrong! Zoey's my best friend, I hate seeing her so upset.

A/N: Again, I'm sorry it took so long to get this up! So, what's everyone doing for Halloween? I'm going to a party tomorrow. Ok so I'll post the next chapter after I get at least 5 reviews! Next chapter's almost completely Dana and Logan. And they get to the "mystery destination." Remember, 5 reviews new chapter! lol. Bye!
