Pacific Coast Academy: 10 Year Reunion

Chapter 10: Finally Coming Together

Upon entering the dorm room, Zoey immediately smiled as she looked around the room. "It's finally good to be back home," she beamed. The room brought back several good memories for her. She put her luggage on the single bed, and before she could ever get comfortable, her name was shrieked. "Zoey!" Nicole yelled as she saw her best friend, dropping everything she had in the door way.

Zoey turned around quickly and smiled. They ran to each other and hugged tightly as Nicole jumped up and down. "Oh my gosh, how have you been?"

"I've been great," Zoey smiled. It was so good to see Nicole again. It had been too long. "How about you?"

"I've been so good. Guess what? You'll never guess, but just try."

"What?" she chuckled.

"I'm engaged!" Nicole jumped up and down again, showing her ring. Zoey took her hand as her mouth dropped. "Oh my gosh, that's great. So am I," Zoey showed her ring. They hugged once again. "You know, wee can have our engagement party together!" Nicole suggested. "This is so awesome."

She pulled her over to the single bed and sat down. "So tell me about everything. What's been going on?"

"Well, you know John and I got married. Unfortunately," Zoey sighed, "we got a divorce. It was horrible," she shook her head. "But Chase helped me through it all and now we're engaged," she beamed.

"That's great," she touched her shoulder. "You and Chase are really made for each other. So do you have any kids?"

"I have one son, John Junior. He's seven. What about you?"

"Well, I'm engaged too as you already know. I'm engaged to Jake and we have one son too. His name is Joey. He's two years old. This is great. I have a son, you have a son. You're engaged, I'm engaged. This is so awesome!"

"Who's with… Dugan Reese?" the doctor asked. Dugan stood beside him, holding his head.

Michael and Breana went over to them. "How is he, Doc?" Michael asked. "Is he gonna be okay? How long does he need to stay? How much is this gonna cost?" Breana hit him in the chest.

"Dugan's fine, he's gonna be okay. He will be having some headaches so give him these pills twice a day, in the morning with breakfast and at night with dinner."

Breana took the pills. Michael picked him up and they walked back to the car. Then drove back to PCA.

Lana was with Logan and Dana. Coming into sight was Michael and Breana, with the kids, Michael caring Dugan in his arms. Dana jumped up and ran over to them. Logan wsan't far behind, and Lana then realized she was in trouble.

"Michael, Breana," Logan said. "What are you doing with Dugan?"

Dana took him in her arms.

"Dad, look," Lana said trying to distract them.

"Not now."

"Excuse me, sir," Victoria spoke up. "But I'm Dugan and Lana's roommate. I know what happened."

"What happened?"

"Well…"

Victoria got on the top bunk and unpacked one of her stuffed animals. Lana scoffed.

"What's your problem?"

"You brought your animals? You're really a baby."

"Don't talk about her like that," Dugan said.

"Nobody was talking to you."

"Nobody was talking to you either."

She got off her bed and stood up to him. "I think you need to be careful. Remember, I am bigger than you."

"You think that scares me?"

She pushed him and his head the buck bed pole. Victoria jumped down. "Dugan, are you okay?" She sat him up and he touched his head. He looked at his hand. It had blood on it.

"Let's go get you to your parents."

She helped him up and they walked out the door.

"…and that's how it happened, sir."

He closed his eyes and bit his bottom lip. He glared at Lana. "How could you do something like that?" he yelled.

"It was an accident."

"No! That wasn't an accident! You purposely tried to hurt him!"

"Logan, calm down a little," Dana touched his arm.

He turned to Dana. "No, I'm not. She could've seriously hurt him." He turned to Breana and Michael. "Thanks for taking care of him, guys. I really, really, really owe you one."

"Hey, you would've did it for us," Michael said. "Don't even worry about the bill. It's all on us," he smiled.

"When everything's okay again," Breana suggested, "let's go out to dinner."

"My treat," Logan smiled.

They smiled back at him.

"Where will we be?" Justine asked.

"In your rooms," Michael looked at her.

"Hey, we did the right thing," Mike crossed his arms. "We deserve something too."

"Fine. What do you want?"

"We want to come out with you," he smiled.

"It's cool," Logan said. "They can come."

"I'm gonna go finish looking around," Little John said.

"I'm coming with you," Justine said.

"Wait for me," Mike replied.

Victoria went with them.

"Stay together," Breana called after them. She turned back to her friends. "I'm gonna go to the room. Gotta make a phone call. I'll see you tonight." Logan hugged her and Michael kissed her. Then she left.

"I'm gonna go put Dugan down," Dana aid walking away, kissing Dugan's head repeatedly.

"You go with her," Logan told Lana.

She walked. He and Michael started walking in the other direction.

"Thanks again, man."

"No prob. Your kid was in trouble. So… what's going on with you? Makin' money?" he smiled.

"Yeah, my house would prove that. What about you?"

"Got my one rap label. Trying to convince the wife back there to give up on the firefighting thing."

"How long have you been married?"

"Eight wonderful years," he beamed. "What about you?"

"Nine years."

"Logan, Michael," Lola called.

"Hey, Lola," they said.

She hugged them. "How you doing?" she smiled.

"I'm good," Logan said.

"Great," Michael smiled.

Jason ran up to Lola. "I found it," he said. Michael and Jason looked at each other. "Michael."

"Jason."
