Living Without You

By CallmeMaddy Chapter 23

Disclaimer: It's been TWENTY THREE CHAPTERS!

A/N: I had finals this week, which is why I'm updating slow. But I have awesome news (Well, for me anyway!) I HAVE TICKETS TO SUPERBOWL XL! Yes, yours truly will be at the game rooting for Pittsburgh! I get to miss three days of school too! Yay me! I'll try to write there, but I'll probably won't because I'm in the middle of STEELER HISTORY! Anywho, you don't care.

Chapter 23: I'm getting her back

"You wanna know the biggest secret? I'll tell you." He pressed his lips against hers. "That's the biggest secret."

Nicole's eyes grew wide, "You like me?"

"No Nicole, I'm just kissing you for no apparent reason..." Paul said sarcastically.

"Oh..." Nicole thought he was serious.

"I'm JOKING!" Paul laughed.

Silence.

"So now what?" Nicole asked.

Paul was nervous, "Do you like me?"

"I--" Nicole started but was interrupted.

"PAULIE!" A preppy girl walked into the room. She kissed him, "How are you?"
Paul looked as if he just saw a ghost, "Amber, what are you doing here?"
"Who's Amber?" Nicole asked.
"I'm Amber, Paul's girlfriend. Who the hell are you?" Amber answered.

"Amber, you broke up with me, remember?" Paul reminded her, "Why are you here?" (A/N: Paul was the new guy in Chapter 14. Amber is the girlfriend briefly talked about. Amber was Paul's girlfriend at his old school.)
"I go to PCA now!" Amber chirped, "I missed you so much!" She kissed Paul again.

"I should go," Nicole said, while a tear ran down, "Bye Paul. Have fun with your girlfriend." She shut the door.

"Who's the slut?" Amber asked.

Paul looked at her, "She's my girl. Or at least I thought she was." Paul ran out.
(A/N: Yes, I know I suck.)

Logan stormed inside his dorm. Michael sat watching Lost. He punched the wall.

"Date didn't go well?" Michael asked.
"No Michael, it was a bowl of fun!" Logan exclaimed sarcastically.

"What happened?"
"Dana broke up with me. Stupid general," Logan confessed.

"What does the general have to do with it?" Michael asked.

"The general forbid Dana from seeing me."
"He can't do that! He doesn't have the power!" Michael said, frustrated.

"Yes, he does, he has the dean watching us," Logan informed him.

"Get the Dean on your side. You can't just let her lose!"
Logan's attitude changed, "Yeah! I'm going to get her back!"

"Good for you!" Michael cheered.

Logan left.

"He doesn't stand a chance..." Michael mumbled.

"You LOVE me?" Zoey asked.

"So, I did just say that out loud...oh, dear..." Chase felt light headed.
"You LOVE me?" Zoey repeated.

Chase took a deep breath, "Maybe?"
"You MAYBE LOVE ME!"
"Look at the time--" Chase avoided.

"Chase, do you love or not?" Zoey asked.
"Should I say yes or should I lie?" Chase asked.

"I love you too," Zoey said, sweetly.

"Does this mean we are back together?" Chase asked.
"I hope so. But no more kissing Lola," Zoey said and gave him a smooch.

"Deal."

"Hey Dana," Quinn walked up, "How's Logan?"
"Why don't you ask him?" Dana snapped.

"He's your boyfriend..." Quinn reminded her.

"Was. Quinn, he was the best thing in my life. Ever. Now...he's gone. All because my so-called father hates him."

"Who cares what the general thinks?"
"Why don't we go to Sushi Rox?" Quinn offered.

Dana was resistant, "Promise to not talk about weird stuff."
"Ok," Quinn promised, Dana didn't define weird.

Logan ran up, "Dana, we need to talk."
"I'm sorta busy with friends..." Dana resisted.

"Since when are you and Quinn friends?" Logan asked.

"Since...since...JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Dana walked off.

Logan looked at Quinn for help. She responded, "Just give her some time..."
Quinn followed Dana.

"I refuse to lose you," Logan promised himself, "I WON'T lose you."

A/N: Dana and Quinn...surprising friends? Poor Nicole and Paul. Aren't I mean? Well, at least Zoey and Chase are together...I haven't decided whether it'll stay that way.
