Chapter 10

I'll Always Have Faith

It had been a week since Zoey found out. She thought she was over it now. She knew she could move on. She just didn't know when.She just wasn't the same. She couldn't let her feelings out anymore. She wasn't as outspoken, and everyone was worried about her. Even Logan. But especially Chase. She wouldn't eat anything. She cried at night. But she knew she was better than Chris. She knew she deserved someone better than him. And she knew who it was. Chase.

Dana was out on the beach. She liked the wind blowing her hair, the warmth of the sun on her tan arms and legs, and her favorite thing, the quiet. It was her favorite place to be when she needed to capture her thoughts. She had no idea what to do. She was really upset about what happened with her and Logan. One minute, everything was going fine, and the next, it all fell apart.

"Hey there, stranger." She heard him say.

She rolled her eyes. He had left her alone for a whole week. She knew he'd come back to her soon.

"Hey." She said back.

"Um...what's up?" He asked.

So he chose small talk? Small talk was fine. She could handle small talk.

"Nothing." She said. She could also play hard to get.

"Oh..." Logan said.

"Yeah..." She said.

"Cool..." He said.

"Why'd you come here?" She asked.

"Because I knew you were here." He said.

She thought that was sweet. She also thought he looked it up in some pick-up-line books.

"Why would you care?" She asked.

"Why are you so pissed at me?" He yelled.

"Because of what you did to Zoey!" She yelled back.

"I didn't know he would pick Zoey!" He yelled.

"Well what would you do if he picked me?" She yelled back.

"I'd kill him!" He yelled.

"But I thought you were friends with Zoey!" She yelled.

"I was!" He yelled.

"You aren't acting like it!" She yelled.

"Probably because I'm mad because the girl I like, and might even LOVE, is mad at me." Logan said.

"You...you love me?" She said.

"Yeah...I guess I do." He said.

Then she ran.

"Can I sit here?" Zoey asked.

"I guess." Chase said.

Zoey sat down.

"Soo..." She said.

"So..." He said.

"How have you been?" She asked him.

"Worried." He said.

"About what?" She asked.

"You." He said.

"Really?" She asked.

"Ye—"Chase started.

"FIRE!" Some kid yelled.

Zoey and Chase looked up. They could already see black smoke thickening in the building...close to the girls' dorms. Which was right where Nicole and Dana were.

The fire sirens went off, and PCA children were screaming, crying, and yelling.

"Come on, we have to get to the front of the school." Chase yelled.

He grabbed Zoey's hand and they both sprinted towards the hallway.

"Wait!" Zoey yelled to Chase.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Dustin! I can't leave him. He's my baby brother." Zoey said.

"Come on. I'll get you back, and then I'll go to look for him." Chase said.

"Okay." Zoey said.

They ran through the hallway passing screaming children. Some were sitting in corners, crying.

"Why won't they get up?" Zoey asked Chase.

"I don't know, but the fire is spreading really fast, and I need to get you out." Chase said.

Soon, they got out of the school, and Chase went back in to get Dustin.

"ZOEY!" Dustin yelled.

"Dustin! Wait—where's Chase?" Zoey asked.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him since yesterday." Dustin said.

"Oh no..." Zoey said.

"What's wrong?" Dustin asked.

"I sent him in there after you. He's probably still looking." Zoey said.

A classroom in the school exploded. Firefighters were spraying water everywhere.

Logan came out of the school carrying a passed out Dana and holding the hand of a frightened Nicole.

"Nicole!" Zoey yelled.

"Where's Michael?" Logan asked.

"I don't know." Michael said sarcastically. "Maybe he was calling your name 50,000 times to tell you a shortcut out of the school."

"Sorry, man." Logan said.

"Where's Chase?" Michael said.

"He's looking for me." Dustin said.

"Uh, dude, I don't know if you've noticed, but you're right there." Michael said.

"But Chase doesn't know that." Zoey said.

"Oooooooh, I get it." Michael said.

"Good." Zoey said.

The fire was getting ferocious, and no had seen Chase.

"Chief." The fireman's radio blared.

"Go ahead." He said.

"We found a boy here. He's about 6 foot, Caucasian boy, brown, bushy hair. He's passed out and not breathing." The man on the radio said.

"Hurry and bring him out." The chief said.

Zoey started towards the chief.

"Zoey, no! Stay here." Michael said.

"No. That's Chase." Zoey said.

"Excuse me, sir." Zoey said.

"I'm a little busy." He said.

"It's about the bushy haired boy." Zoey said.

"You know him?" He asked.

"Yes." Zoey said.

"What's his name?" The chief asked.

Then, the door opened. Five men brought out a boy with bushy hair, who was passed out and looked terrible. He had cuts and bruises everywhere, and burns were everywhere on his arm.

"Chase..." Zoey said.

Hey guys...yeah, it's been a while. I asked him to the dance and he said no. I was heartbroken. I cried for like, five hours. I can't believe it. But there was one person who was there for me...and I like him a lot. So...we might be going out soon. Ha, I'm not over him yet, but maybe I will be. Thanks for all the awesome reviews! And sorry about the whole fire thing...I'm just not in the mood to put couples together. Review!
