And here I am again! I'm on a roll with this story! This chapter will be boring I'm telling you now. But, you do find out a little more of my version of Logan. Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: Nope, not mine.

Why Now?

Chapter 3

Moving

Office

"Dean Rivers?" Zoey called as she knocked on the door to Dean River's office.

"Yes?" Dean Rivers answered opening the door. "Can I help you with something?"

"Um…were you called about Logan?" Dana asked. Please say yes. Please say yes.

"I was called," he said nodding. "Come in." Ushering the group in he sat at his desk. "I was called when he was first admitted, but I haven't been informed on his condition. Were you told?"

"Yeah," Chase said.

"He's in a coma," Michael said.

"Oh…" Dean Rivers said seeming to be at a loss for words. "Do they have any idea when he'll wake up?" Seeing Nicole shake her head he sighed. "We'll keep his space for when he recovers. And until you feel ready you wont be required to attend classes."

"But, won't we fall really behind?" Zoey asked.

"We'll have your classes video taped and given to you."

"What about tests?" Chase asked.

"You'll be given five days to do them and for homework you can have an extra day."

"Don't take this the wrong way. I mean we all appreciate it, but why are you letting us do this?" Michael asked confused.

"Over the summer my daughter was involved in an accident and went into a coma. It was hard having everybody ask if everything was okay and what happened. It would have just been worse here. It is high school."

Giggling slightly Nicole nodded. "Thanks."

"Yeah, thanks a lot," Zoey said.

"Um…Dean Rivers?"

"Yeah?" Looking at Dana he saw her shifting slightly.

"The doctors had said that if he woke up he would either have to be in a wheelchair or go through rehab."

"I forgot about that," Chase said looking down.

"We all did," Zoey said. "The fact that he's in a coma just totally took over. We forgot about him having to do rehab."

"Well, should he decide to do rehab he could probably choose between staying at a rehab center or coming back and having someone come and help him or you. You would just have to take a few classes."

"It's probably going to take him a while to decide on that. I mean, it's Logan. He's probably going to want to come home, but he might not like everyone seeing him in a wheelchair," Michael said.

"And our room's upstairs," Chase said remembering.

"That's fixable." Seeing the confused looks on the group's faces Dean Rivers continued. "There was a small dorm made a few years ago. It's one floor. If you would like you could all move in when he returns if he decides to come here. There are ten rooms so you'd have a big area. We had made it for if we got too many students, but that hasn't occurred."

"If we decide to when could we move in?" Zoey asked.

"It's collected dust over the years. And the walls need painting. If you'd like you could move in before Logan wakes up so it's ready. You can decorate it how you'd like. It just has to be appropriate."

Looking at her friends, who were nodding excitedly she nodded. "We'll move in."

Smiling he nodded. "When would you like to move in?"

"Um…" Seeing her friends mouthing things at her she nodded again. "Could we go and take a look? Maybe clean up a little? We can move in tomorrow."

"Sure," Dean Rivers said nodding. "We can grab some cleaning supplies from the janitor's closet and I'll show you over to it." Standing Dean Rivers walked to the door and opened it for the teenagers. Motioning for them to follow him he went down the hall until he came to the door. Taking the key from his pocket he slid it into the slot and twisted it until he heard a click. Pushing open the door he passed the teens the necessary things then nodded to the left. "It's this way."

"Thanks," Nicole said.

Nodding in her direction he took out another key and motioned for them to follow him again. Taking them out of the building and in the direction of their dorms he made a sharp left and took them down the path and to the right until they saw a beige building that looked like it hadn't been touched in years. "It needs some work."

"It's okay," Zoey said. Taking the key from the dean she went to the door. Opening the door she winced at the loud squeak. Looking around she saw some large windows that were covered in dust and a large hall. "This place is huge."

"It was designed to be like a small house," the dean said.

"With like sixteen rooms," Dana said quietly.

"Look on the bright side," Nicole said. "No roommates."

"No 7 AM screaming?" Zoey asked. "Thank God!"

"Well I'll leave you here," Dean Rivers said before leaving.

"Do you guys wanna go back and change?" Michael asked.

"Yeah," the girls and Chase said in unison.

"Meet back here in ten minutes?" Zoey suggested.

"Sure," the rest replied. Nodding at each other they all dashed out. Separating at the fork they all ran to their own dorms.

Entering dorm 101 the girls hurried to their close. Pulling out a navy blue tank top and a pair of old jean shorts Zoey went into the bathroom. Quickly changing she opened the door to see Nicole exit the stall next to her.

"Hey," Nicole said grabbing Zoey's arm as they walked back. Entering the room they saw Dana already in her red gym shorts and black tank top.

Noticing Nicole in her baby blue shorts and pink tank top from her mirror she threw her hair into a ponytail and turned. "Ready?"

"Yeah, in a second," Zoey said grabbing a hair piece and throwing it to Nicole. "Ready."

"Same here," Nicole said. Turning to leave she snapped back suddenly. "Hold on." Returning a moment later with a radio she smiled. "Let's go."

"Good idea," Dana said grabbing the group's CD cases. "I have a feeling we're going to be there for a while."

"Yeah," Zoey said nodding. "And we've only seen the lounge."

"Oh, man," Nicole moaned. "We're never gonna finish."

"We will," Zoey said.

"Yeah," Dana said. Spotting the boys she lifted the CD cases for them to see that they had something to keep Nicole quiet. Oh, I wish.

"Music…thank God," Michael said.

"We brought our music too," Chase said showing them three cases.

"Three?" Zoey asked.

"We brought Logan's too," Michael said. "Music's depressing as hell, but it's cool."

"Depressing? Logan? Are we talking about the same guy?" Nicole asked.

"Think about it," Michael said as they entered. "He has parents who could care less and not that many friends."

"Doesn't have many friends?" Dana asked trying to hide her amazement.

"He doesn't trust people easily," Michael said. "He gets worried people are just going to use him."

"Wow…I feel bad," Nicole said.

"Don't," Michael said waving it off. "The craziness we all have and weekly fights with Zoey are really what keeps him from throwing himself out the dorm room window. When I first met him he used to hide behind a book and people just left him alone. He looks forward to it all."

"He looks forward to being a pain in the ass?" Dana asked as she sprayed some Windex on the window.

"Actually, yeah," Michael said.

"Only Logan could do that," Chase said.

"You okay Zoey?" Nicole asked.

"Yeah, some of the dust over here just flew into my eye," Zoey partly lied. Don't cry. Don't cry.

Plugging in the radio Michael turned it onto CD Mode. "What CD?"

"One of Logan's. I wanna hear some," Dana said.

"Gotcha," Michael said. Putting in the CD he flipped through for a moment before stopping and turning the volume up full blast.

\\ Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say

I never want to let you down or have you go

It's better off this way

For all the dirty looks

The photographs your boyfriend took

Remember when you broke your foot

From jumping out the second floor /

"What is this?" Nicole asked.

"My Chemical Romance. He zones out kind of when he has his headphones on so every time I take them off to bug him it's all I hear," Michael said.

"Is that why every time I come in the room I always hear you go 'again?'" Chase asked.

"Yeah," Michael said chuckling.

"It's a daily thing with you two," Chase said.

"Yeah," Michael said before his eyes filled with sadness. That won't be for a long time. If ever.

"I'm not okay! I'm not okay!" Gerard's voice rang through the speakers.

He really isn't. If I hadn't said that to him then maybe…maybe he wouldn't be in the hospital right now. Feeling tears prick her eyes she turned and sprayed some Pledge on the window sills. Scrubbing the dust off she prayed that no one saw her tears.

Hours later the group collapsed to the ground with a laugh. "Guess we shouldn't have brought all of our music. We've been listening to Logan's all night, "Chase said supporting himself with his forearms as he lay on his back.

"What time is it?" Nicole asked as she rubbed her sore arms.

"Um…about midnight," Michael said looking at his watch.

"There's no way the dorms are still unlocked," Dana said.

"Why don't we just sleep here? We can go in early, get dressed and go visit Logan," Zoey suggested. Seeing all her friends nod tiredly at her they all let their heads drop to the ground and let sleep overtake them. We'll see Logan in the morning, Zoey thought before she fell into darkness not knowing the horrors waiting for her in her dreams.

Anime Girl23: Done! Okay, everyone! Don't hurt me! I had this written in my binder like two or three days after I posted Chapter 2, but I had a lot of homework, work, and I was sick a lot. I've got Chapter 4 in my binder…I just have to find it. Pages got ripped out and it's all in like five different places.

Logan: And while she says all this I remain in a coma.

Anime Girl23: Oh, you know you love me, Logan.

Logan: Oh, yeah. Note the sarcasm.

Anime Girl23: How about no:P

Logan: You annoy me.
