Hi, well i'm sorry for the wait i think this is the longest chapter yet. so i hope you all enjoy it. PS: i like reviews they make me feel good

"Hey man, I glad to see that Zoey found you I thought you ran off?"

"Na, I almost did though."

"So I heard about your mom man, I'm sorry dude. But quick question why didn't you tell us?"

"They said it was a fifty-fifty chance when I come to school so I had hope and every time I called dad acted like everything was okay, so I didn't think anything of it until I got that letter. Then I don't I guess I just snapped."

"Well I'm just thankful that you didn't do something stupid. Like we thought you ran away." I said

"I wouldn't run away Zoey I wouldn't scare you guys like that."

"I'm just glad your okay!" I said as I held on to him tighter.

"Well I'm just going to leave you two alone there's a lot you guys have to talk about." Michael said backing away.

"Kay, bye Michael."

I learned to today that when Chase is nervous he is quiet. That's why we sat there for almost an hour just holding each other. I didn't want to break the silence because this is the first time in a year that I have hugged him. I learned the hard way that loving from a far is the hardest thing to do. But sitting there in his arms even in the circumstances it just felt so right. The longer I sit here the harder and harder it is to tell him, I mean how can I, with all that's going on in his life right now he needs me as a friend right? What if he's moved on and telling him just freaks him out and he never speaks to me again, hey it could happen right? I just love him so much how can I destroy are friendship ever again, in fact I'm making a pact with myself that if I destroy my friendship with Chase ever again I'll have Nicole hit me. I closed my eyes and then Chase said, "Zoey, I'm glad were friends again aren't you?"

"Yeah I should've wised up a long time ago."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I should've broke-up with Tom a long time ago, I mean he was a horrible boyfriend."

"What did he do to you Zoey?" Chase asked angrily

"Oh, he didn't do anything to me it's just he was overbearing, jealous, and he forgot everything like to get me stuff for my birthday or anything. And it's not like he just didn't have money to got me any thing he just flat out forgot and didn't acknowledge it at all, but if I did that to him it was like the whole world was going to end. But when I came after you last night he just flat out broke up with me so it saved me the trouble.

Then he leaned in and whispered in my ear "You deserve better than that Zoey, you're the best person and friend I've ever met, you'll always have a place in my heart. He's a fool for not realizing that he had his chance with the funniest, smartest, sweetest person that ever lived. If I had a chance like that I would never blow it like he did."

I just sat there in shock, I mean what could I say that could top that. Well I had one thing in mind, but I'm saving that for another time. So I just sat there until,

"Chase, are you going to visit her before she you know?"

"As long as you go with me."

"Why me?"

"Because you have helped me through so much it'll be easier with you by my side. I know my mom would like to meet you anyway."

"What did you say about me?"

"I guess you'll just have to find out. You never told me what you said about me in the video."

"You're still going on about that?"

"But of course, until I find out what you said."

"Like I said before Chase. Ten years, then I'll tell you. Were off the anyway subject, are you sure that you want me to come?"

"As sure as I'll ever be."

"But we just got over a big fight."

"So, and by the way let's never fight like that again it pained me every day that we didn't talk. That's why I got up and left everyday cause it hurt being around you."

"And whose fault is that?"

"I know, I know, but I couldn't help it okay and like I said let's not fight like that again, agreed?"

"Yes Chase agreed."

"Well, I guess we should get going, Michael might send out a search crew."

"Yeah I guess we should."

"Need help up little lady."

"Yes that would be nice."

Then he grabbed my hand and lifted me up. I forgot how strong he was I remember one time I fell asleep in his dorm and Nicole said he carried me all the way back to mine without help from Logan or Michael. But if I fell asleep in Tom room I'd wake up on the floor outside his room, or Michael and Logan would find me and bring me to my room. The things you remember when you love someone. When we reached the dorm the dorm Chase stopped and turned to me and said, "Goodnight Zoey, I'll see tomorrow 'Kay?"

"Yeah see ya tomorrow Chase."

Then he left. As I walked into the room Nicole asked "Wait, you guys are speaking again? Because last time I checked it's been a year since Chase walked you to the dorm.

"Yeah we're speaking again. I think I'm going to have to tell him now but I don't want to ruin the friendship."

"You can't mess up the friendship with him if you tell him that boy loves you more then life it self."

"Well I hope so, it's getting late I'm going to bed."

As I went to bed I heard Nicole say what happened to cause this? And to tell you the truth they'll never know not for a couple more years anyway.
