The site was down, and it wouldn't let me upload Chapter 15, so I decided to get started on Chapter 16, while I was ahead. So here's it is, read, and review...86 reviews...I'm overwhelmed and seriously...you guys rock my socks. I wanna give a major shout out to Queen-Latifah Missy-Elliot14! I love your reunion story and so far Breana James (Michael's wife) is my favourite character. She's funny! Thank you reviewing for both chapters.

RECAP:

Zoey turned around to face him. She said nothing, but then her eyes rolled in to the back of her head, and she passed out. Her world went black. Logan, being the guy closest to her, and with his fast reflexes, caught Zoey in his strong arms before she made contact with the ground. Logan lifted a limp Zoey and turned to face his sister and Dylan. Dylan brushed the blonde hair from her eyes. Her pale face striking them all.

DYLAN: Come on, Zoey...

SAMANTHA: What did she pass out from?

LOGAN: I'll tell you what she passed out from. A broken heart. I know because Dana's still out there and--

Logan got furious. Zoey still lay in his arms. Anger surged through him. Chase and Courtney were passed out. Zoey lay passed out and pale. Dana was still out there. Logan was beyond furious. He clenched his jaw. Zoey was deathly still. The only thing assuring them she was alive was her heartbeat. Slow, but it was still there.

LOGAN: I swear if anything happens, so help me, I will be capable of murder. And I will have no regrets...

DYLAN: I'm with you. Nobody messes with my kid sister. Or my friends. No way in hell!

LOGAN (thought): Davis. Must. Die.

The look in Logan's eyes scared Samantha to death, but she knew how he felt. Logan let out a small bitter laugh...

Chapter 16: Ripped Out & Stomped On Hearts

Dana and Bryan ran now. They were starting to hear screams, meaning they weren't alone. A million thoughts rushed through Dana and Bryan's heads. How were they were going to get out? If they weren't alone, who was with them? They stopped when a white light stpped in front of them. Bryan and Dana shot questionable glances at each other.

BRYAN: What the hell is that?

DANA: I don't know, but it'll probably lead us to all the screaming. Don't tell me you didn't hear anything screaming.

BRYAN (shrugging): Fine, I won't.

DANA: Follow that light!

BRYAN (sarcastically): Oh, great. More running.

DANA: You can send six people to the hospital, but you can't run?

BRYAN: I can. Just don't wanna.

DANA: Tough. Come on, Bry.

Bryan rolled his eyes and ran after Dana and the white light. Bryan couldn't help but chuckle inside. Dana had Cruz blood running through her veins, all right. Bryan and Dana ran after the light. Their lungs burned for air, but that stupid white light kept going. It was almost becoming incessant. Never ending. Dana was running until she sprained her ankle. She fell, and Bryan looked concerned for a split second, but she got up. They continued to run. Dana's ankle hurt but she ran through the pain. Ok, not run. More like speed-walk. Every step forward delivered a sharp pain to her ankle, but she was determined, and just remembered to breathe through the burning sensation invading the lower part of Dana's leg. She had enough pain to last a lifetime. The light stopped and led them to a door, and dissappeared under the door to parts unknown. The door was silver and wouldn't budge. Bryan delivered a few punches. All they did was make a few dents.

BRYAN: You thinking what I'm thinking, Day?

DANA: You haven't called me that in like forever.

BRYAN: I know. I just felt like it.

DANA: You wanna do the "Cruz Darkness Wave"?

BRYAN (sarcastically): No, I don't. I want to stay here in your head.

DANA: Fine, gimme your hand, Mr. Cynical. We'll blow this thing off.

BRYAN: Whatever.

Bryan and Dana's arguing was out of good-natured fun. They didn't argue because they really fought. Bryan and Dana mainly argued because they liked to wind each other up, and it was their obligation as siblings to do so. Logan and Dana were a couple so she was allowed to tease him too. Dana's left hand was joined with Bryan's right hand as they glared the silver door in them, dents and all. Dana and Bryan closed their eyes and held out their fee hand aimed at the silver door.

DANA: Ready?

BRYAN: Mmm-Hmm.

DANA & BRYAN: CRUZ DARKNESS WAVE!

A wave of black escaped from their hands and the door exploded with a boom. What they saw made Dana's stomach turn with every emotion there was. Bryan pretended not to care, but he really did. Yes, Bryan Cruz had geunine emotion. Dana saw her boyfriend, carrying something and standing with what looked like Dylan Brooks and Samantha Reese. He caught a lock of blonde hair in Logan's arms. That meant...Dylan's sister. She passed out, and somehow Logan's caught her. Bryan's eyes widened. He mentally grouped the elements in groups of two.

BRYAN (thought): Ok, Logan and Sammie. Fire. Me and Dana. Darkness. Dyl and Zoey. Water. Wait, someone is missing.

It clicked.

BRYAN (thought): She can't be gone...

DANA (thought): Logan and Samantha. Me and Bryan. By the looks of it, Zoey and Dylan. Wait! Shit! Courtney and Chase! Thet're missing. Where the hell can they be?

BRYAN: Dana.

DANA: Yeah?

BRYAN: We found them.

DANA: I know.

Dana and Bryan called out to the others, and Bryan walked and Dana limped over, on account of her sprained ankle. Meanwhile, a couple feet off Logan, Dylan, and Samantha could hear their names being called faintly. Logan gave Zoey to her brother. Dylan looked at Zoey, still passed out in his arms. She loved Chase and now because of him, it was like she had lost the will to live. It was Romeo and Juliet all over again. Hopefully, there would be no death involved.

DYLAN: C'mon Zoey. You have to fight this. Please don't leave us. Think about who you're going to affected if you go. Mom. Dad. Dustin. Me. What about Mittens? She'll miss you scratching behind her ear. All your friends at PCA. Most importantly, Chase. Don't go Zoey, I love you.

Logan whipped around and saw her. Dana was back. She limped over to him and smirked at him. He smirked back. This was their thing. To Logan, Dana was fun to love and hate. Dana felt the same way. Logan wanted to know why was limping she was limping though. Logan wrapped her arms around her slender waist, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Traces of a smirk danced on both Logan and Dana's lips.

DANA: Miss me, huh?

LOGAN: Well, who was I gonna argue with and kiss at the same time?

Dana took that as a yes.

LOGAN: Why are you limping, though?

DANA: Ankle. Sprained it. It doesn't hurt, though.

LOGAN (raising an eyebrow and smirking): Sure, it doesn't.

DANA: It doesn't.

Logan let go of her, and Dana tried to walk but when she did, every other word when she spoke to Logan was "OW!". Logan laughed, and Dana threw him a death glare. He crouched down, and she raised an eyebrow.

LOGAN: Get on.

DANA: I don't need a piggyback ride...

LOGAN: Yeah, you do.

DANA: I can walk perfectly..ow..fine. Ow...see?

LOGAN (rolling his eyes): Get on, Cruz...

DANA: Fine.

Dana climbed on Logan's back, and Dana wrapped her arms around him for support. He got up and surprisingly, she wasn't that heavy at all. Dana was as light as a feather. Dana kissed his neck and Logan was pleasently surprised. She whispered in his ear, something that made him smile and his eyes widen.

DANA (whispering): Just for the record...I miss you too. I love you.

LOGAN: I love you, too. As much as I love you kissing my neck...and other places, what's the deal?

Dana put on the best seductive voice, she could. Frankly, it turned Logan on. He was starting to sweat a little, while Dana was perched on his back, cooing in his ear.

DANA: Nothing really. When we get back to PCA, I have a little surprise for you. I'll finish what I started.

LOGAN: Oh, now I really wanna know what this surprise is. Come on. Tell me.

DANA: No. Well, it appears you have a hickey.

LOGAN: You've done well. Really well.

DANA: I know. I'm just cool that way.

LOGAN: How's your ankle? I like to argue with you but that doesn't mean I can't be concerned, right?

DANA: I guess. I'll just get Zoey to heal my ankle when we get out of here.

Logan got tense at Zoey's name being mentoned. Dana felt it and soon she got serious. Something big happened and if she was going to squeeze it out of anyone, it would be Logan.

DANA: Logan, what happened?

LOGAN: How do you something happened?

DANA: Because you got tense when I mentioned Zoey. See? You did it again! Tell me what happened. NOW LOGAN!

LOGAN: Geeze, what are you? Bipolar?

Dana pinched him in the back, and he winced under the pain.

LOGAN: Fine, I'll talk. No more pain!

DANA: Well? I'm waiting? Either you talk or instead of having kids with you, I'll prevent kids! On your part!

LOGAN: Oww--What? You wanna have kids with me?

DANA: I-- umm-- Shut up, Logan! Don't change the subject.

LOGAN (smirking): Aww, you do want me...

DANA: Don't push it, Pretty Boy! Start talking.

Dana's voice got softer. She was just worried. Chase and Zoey were her friends after all. All she knew was, Courtney and Chase were missing and she never knew something happened to Zoey, but she could sense what Logan was about to tell her wouldn't be good. She climbed off of Logan back and with her throbbing ankle, walked over to Logan and stared at him with big brown puppy eyes. That was Logan's Achilles Heel. He couldn't say no to those eyes. Logan took a deep breath and explained.

LOGAN: It happened like this... You were lost somewhere here. So, Chase and his sister used their "sixth" sense to find you and Bryan.

FLASHBACK

LOGAN: You gonna be okay, Zoey?

ZOEY: I'm not sure.

More tears rolled down her cheeks. Logan cupped her face in his hands and wiped the falling tear away with his thumb. Crying girls always upset him. He was cool like that. Even though he was a player. He hated tears, especially from girls.

LOGAN: It'll be ok. I'm just as worried as you are. Sometimes I wonder if Dana wll come back to me, but you know what keeps me from doubting her?

ZOEY: What?

LOGAN: My love for her. If it's true love, they'll come back. Dana. Chase and Courtney. Bryan. They'll all come back.

She absent-mindedly fiddled with her ring. She never doubted Chase, she was just so scared. Logan saw the blue diamond sitting on her finger.

LOGAN: May I look at the ring?

ZOEY: Sure. Ok.

Logan looked at the sapphire. It was real, alright. Chase must've really worked his ass off to buy that ring. It was beautiful.

LOGAN: Chase?

ZOEY: Yes.

There was an awkward silence between the two, until Zoey said something that made her burst into tears again.

ZOEY: I'm scared Logan! I can't lose Chase! I--I can't lose--

LOGAN: Zoey... Come here.

LOGAN (thought): I'm scared too. You have no idea.

ZOEY: I--I can't look.

END FLASHBACK

Dana's jaw dropped, and she felt sick. Because of her, Chase and Courtney could be dead. It was all her fault. She felt her eyes tear up, her eyes glassy. It was her fault. She killed Chase and Courtney. Dana was tough but she didn't want murder on her hands. She hurt the two people she didn't want to hurt the most. Bryan and Dana were drawm to a white light, but weren't sure of its source. When it hit her, that the white light that led them here...came from Chase and his sister.

DANA: It's all my fault...It's all my fault, Logan!

LOGAN: Don't say that, Dana!

DANA: Can you please not sugar coat this? I did it, Logan! IT'S ALL MY FUCKING FAULT!

LOGAN: Dana! Look at me!

Dana turned away from him. She couldn't let him see her cry. Dana was deermined to push back any traces of sadness. Logan's voice softened and he stroked her chin with his thumb. He turned her face to mirror his. Dana's tears hadn't shown up yet, but Logan was sure, they would. How many girls had to cry in one day? Dana's eyes got hard, unexpectedly, and it made Logan flinch involuntarily.

LOGAN (thought): Uh-oh. That look in her eyes means either she knows there's more or she's gonna hurt me later. Either way, I'm a goner.

Dana's voice was barely a whisper, but it was cold and icy.

DANA: Logan. Tell me.

LOGAN: I already did.

DANA: All of it. I want to know-- everything.

LOGAN: Dana--

DANA: Logan! Stop trying to spare my feelings! Just tell me!

LOGAN (sigh): You wanna hear everything?

DANA: Yes.

LOGAN: Be warned, you're not going to like it.

Dana crossed her arms in annoyance.

DANA: Try me.

LOGAN: Ok, you asked for it. Well...

FLASHBACK

COURTNEY: I can't take this anymore! I just want to find them and get outta here!

LOGAN: I'm just as tense as she is!

Logan ran a hand through his hair, while Courtney was visibly panicked. Chase threw Zoey a worried look. She squeezed his hand, telling him it would be okay and she pecked him on the cheek. Samantha hugged Logan from behind. Logan knew his sister was there, and her hug helped, but he wanted Dana. Dana and only Dana. Without her, he'd simply wither away and die from a broken heart. Logan got this glazed look in his eyes. Samantha and Logan locked eyes. Sammie's eyes were full of pain for her brother. Logan's were full of worry.

LOGAN: Sammie...I want...Dana. Dana...I need her. Damnit! What the hell are we doing standing around?

COURTNEY: That's it! I'm finding them. There's only one way...

COURTNEY (thought): I can't lose Bryan. Not now. Not ever. I won't allow it.

Samantha and Dylan knew what she was talking about. Samantha gasped and put a hand to her mouth and Dylan's eyes widened in horror.

CHASE: Court, you're scaring me. What are you going to do to find them?

Courtney's emerald orbs weren't the same. A look of determination and a bit of darkness were omnious in them. The look in his sister's eyes scared Chase on one part but he understood. If it were Zoey, he'd go crazy though. Blame love. Chase couldn't get through to his sister so he turned to Dylan and Samantha.

CHASE: What is my sister planning to do?

DYLAN: Chase...Courtney has this like sixth sense. You have it too. The element Earth, well--

LOGAN: Well what?

SAMANTHA: Dylan's saying Chase and Courtney can find Dana and Bryan. It's risky though.

ZOEY: How risky?

DYLAN: It could kill her...

END FLASHBACK

LOGAN: So, that's what's happened, Dana. Chase and Courtney are gifted with finding things. Just like Samantha and I are gifted in the love department. It's in the Reese blood.

Dana gave him an 'are-you-kidding-me?' mixed with an 'oh please' look. She laughed a little, but stopped. Logan smiled because he hadn't heard Dana laugh in a while, but her laugh was music to his ears. Dana knew deep down she was to blame, she couldn't shake the guilt that had washed over her. She looked at Logan, sadly. Logan didn't want to continue, but she inwardly told him to, and that everything was going to be okay.

DANA: Then what happened?

LOGAN: Do you really want me to continue?

DANA: Did it look like I told you to stop?

Dana took a deep breath and her voice became softer. Her eyes just staring. Logan started back at her. It was like their eyes were boring into each other's souls. Dana broke the silence, and Logan was surprised at the soft tone she used. Dana had never used that tone beofre. Her voice had an edge but it clouded.

DANA: Logan, please. Just--

LOGAN: Dana, I'm sorry.

DANA: I'm not sure why you're apologizing. So don't.

The edge was back, and it made Logan smile, for the qualities that made Dana who she was were still intact. However, she wasn't satisfied. She needed to hear the last bit of the story. Even though it would hurt her.

LOGAN: You sure you wanna hear the last bit?

DANA: Yeah.

LOGAN: Ok...Well, Zoey got all hysterical. Remember when I told you Chase and Courtney were gifted in finding things?

DANA: Yeah.

LOGAN: Well, basically, they used their Earth element to locate you and your brother. They might be paying a price. A really heavy one.

DANA: You mean, Chase and Courtney used all the power they had, just to find find me?

Logan said nothing, but his eyes spoke volumes. He showed sadness, no doubt about it. If Chase was able snap out of it, then he owed Chase big time. He vowed to help kick Glenn's ass, and Logan never really liked the guy anyway, so that was a bonus.

DANA: He did, didn't he?

LOGAN: We may lose Chase. No easy way to break to you, babe.

DANA: You're telling me...he may be dying?

LOGAN: Yes.

DANA: Then Zoey--

LOGAN: Zoey passed out and I caught him in my arms. She couldn't take Chase not being there, so she passed out. Dylan has her now.

DANA: And Courtney--

LOGAN: May be dying along with Chase.

DANA (thought): Oh my God, if Courtney dies, then...

DANA: Bryan! Logan, I gotta get to my brother. He's hurting now!

LOGAN: But your ankle...

DANA: Don't care. I have to go to him now. I have to see Chase and Courtney for myself.

DANA (thought): And besides, it's all my fault anyway.

LOGAN: Dana!

Dana ignored Logan calling after her. She took off running. Logan sighed to himself in exasperation. Dana could be so stubborn. Logan argued with himself. Was he going to run after his not-so-smiley girlfriend or leave her alone? Leaving Dana wasn't a good idea right now. Logan threw his hands up in defeat. He was going to run after Dana, and boy, can she ever run.

LOGAN (thought): When running after Dana, next time, don't wear the good shoes. Aw, man. She's so stubborn, which makes her perfect, but seriously I'm not wearing these shoes when running, ever!

Logan ran after Dana. Dana's ankle hurt, and she was probably not supposed to put so much weight on it, but screw it. Bryan liked Courtney. So, if she was gone, then Bryan would not be happy, in fact, he would act out. Bryan Cruz didn't take death, so well. Dana was worried about her brother's emotional state, while Logan, who was not far off still running (not that it was a problem for him) was worried about his girlfriend's physical and emotional state. Dana seemed to blame herself a lot. Her ankle hurt, but being the tough girl she was, Dana simply didn't give a damn. Dana stopped running when she reached Bryan. Logan stopped shortly after when he caught up to her. Dana knew he was there.

DANA: Why'd you come Logan?

LOGAN (sarcastically): Well, excuse me for being concerned. Running around on a sprained ankle should the right thing to do.

DANA (annoyed): Cut the sarcasm, Logan!

LOGAN: You could've made it worse--

DANA: But I didn't so shut up!

LOGAN: Fine, you know what? Break your foot! But no, nothing I say matters because I'm a jerk! As always. When I love you and try to help you, I'm being a jerk. When I try to not to care, I'm still being a jerk! Make up your mind already!

Dana took a deep breath. She knew she shouldn't have been running but Bryan was on her mind. Dana couldn't shake the feeling Bryan was going to do something stupid. They shouldn't have been arguing. They needed each other, right now, because this was the thing that would send Dana and Bryan off the deep end. Logan needed to be there in case she fell, literally. Dana needed to be there for her big brother, and she owed him after saving her from the clutches of their evil step-father, Robert. Dana cringed at the memory, and got goosebumps.

DANA: I'm sorry.

LOGAN (surprised): What? Did you just apologize to me?

DANA (sarcastically): No, I stomped on your foot...

LOGAN: Fine, be that way...

DANA: Geeze, don't get all worked up, although I like winding you up but seriously I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. It's just--

LOGAN: You were worried about Bryan?

DANA: Uh, yeah... How did you do that?

LOGAN (smirking): When anyone has history especially the way we do, it's easy to know what the other is thinking, and besides I could tell from a mile away.

Dana smiled and playfully punched Logan on the arm, and surprisingly kissed him, and he kissed her back. They pulled away when their need for oxygen overpowered their desire for each other. Dana's hands trailing through his curls, while Logan's hands trailing every inch of her, the two trying to melt into one other. It was short but oh so sweet.

LOGAN: So we're cool, baby?

DANA (smirking): What do you think?

Logan knew that meant a yes. They kissed lightly on the lips, intertwined hands, and joined the older Cruz child. The sight before everyone's eyes was morbid. Dana's eyes widened in shock, as Logan held tight, silently telling her it wasn't her fault. Dana couldn't say anything, her friend laying so still hurt enough. Bryan stood there. Staring. On the ground lay Courtney Matthews and beside her lay Chase. Still as can be. Bryan's eyes shone not with tears, but with a mix of hurt, anger and heartbreak. Broken was not even the word to describe how his heart was.

Close your eyes, make a wish
That this could last forever
If only you could stay with me now
So tell me what it is
That keeps us from each other now
Yeah it's coming to get me
You're under my skin

Bryan felt like his heart was ripped out of his chest, ripped apart, and stomped on. Courtney couldn't be gone. No way. Courtney was his best friend, and maybe his possible girlfriend, but that would never happen. They were both bound together by their love of music. Bryan looked down at Dana, and broke his heart-breaking silence. His voice remained montone, but was coated with pain. Lots of it.

No I can't let you go
You're a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't wanna know
The reason why I
Can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls cause I miss you

BRYAN: What happened?

Two voices spoke. One was also coated with the exact same sadness, and a female one. Cracked from crying. Logan, Dana, and Bryan all returned and there stood Samantha, and Dylan, still cradling Zoey in his arms. She was still pale. Dana gasped when she saw her friend in her brother's arms. She cautiously walked over to Dylan, and stared into Zoey's face. She looked weak, so helpless. Dana screamed, and fell onto the floor crying, her eyeliner running and making two identical streaks of black down her face. Logan ran over to her, and cradled her in his arms. Yeah sure, she was mean to them, but that was her personna, her identity, who she was. Dana sat there, and started saying...

DANA: It's all my fault...I did it...

LOGAN: No, Dana. Shh, it's ok. Everything will be fine

DANA: They have to get up, Logan. They have to. Zoey and Chase needs to be around. Zoey... She needs to be arpund. She'll put up with me. The only one who can. She's the only one who can seperate me and Nicole from tearing at each other...

LOGAN: I know... Chase needs to be at PCA too. He actually can stand me being a jerk, and strutting like I own the place, besides Michael--

DANA: Oh, God. Michael and Nicole! If Zoey dies, Nicole won't stop crying forever.

LOGAN: Michael is closer to Chase than I am, he'll take it harder. We both will.

DANA: Bryan?

Bryan said nothing. The pain was too much bear. The love of his life was laying there right in front of him, so helpless and so weak. Courtney was vulnerable, and he could do nothing. Instead, he fell to his knees, looked at the ceiling and screamed.

BRYAN: NO!

It was full of agony, that even it began to tug at Logan's heartstrings. Dana let more silent tears fall, however. Chase was her friend, too. She was his confidante, when Michael wasn't there. Though sometimes it was annoying, Dana listened to Chase go on and on about how he loved Zoey, and how he wanted to be with her. Sometimes Dana actually gave him words of encouragement, which seemed to motivate Chase all the more. With a friendly hug, Chase usually bounded off to his dorm to write a love poem or something to Zoey. Or about Zoey.

Dana never admitted it, but she enjoyed her little talks with Chase. It was a nice change from Nicole and Zoey's incessant nagging and Logan's 'wanna make out' speech. At least that's what Dana thought it was at the time.

A silence lingered in the air. Dana and Logan sat there, while Logan had his arms wrapped around his girlfriend. Dana just let more tears fell, no point in hiding them. Dylan stood there, Zoey still in his arms. His expression grim. Bryan stroked Courtney's cheek, silently hoping to see those beautiful green eyes again. He wanted it to be the old times, where she'd pick up her electric guitar, and he'd pick up his drum set. Courtney and Bryan would just go nuts, while annoying Dylan and Samantha to no end. Well, mostly Samantha. Dylan sometimes sang along to what they were playing. On rear occasoins, when Samantha wasn't filling her nails or getting pedicures, she'd sing and dance with Stacy. And she was pretty good. Noah would join with bass, and Stacy naturally took the stage and danced. Bryan thought Stacy was an awesome dancer, but there was chemistry between him and Courtney, lots of it. Samantha's voice broke the still-lingering silence.

SAMANTHA: I'm not sure if it'll work...but I have an idea. To wake Courtney and Chase...

A/N: Dun! Dun! Dun! Another cliffhanger! I love doing that to you guys. I'm just evil. The song used for the chapter is called "Climbing the Walls" by Backstreet. I was listening to it, while typing and it gave me some inspiration, so there's Chapter 16. Thanks for your reviews, like I'm closer to 100! I need about lets say...95 before I continue...so keep those reviews coming in, please and thank you. This took me 3 daysto finish!

Love you guys...
