Chapter Six

Save Me!

Author's Notes: Thanks, you guys, for all the reviews. And here I was, scared I would get flamed for that. Anyway, I don't want to spoil it for you – in terms of the ship, that is. However, I think this chapter explains it.

When they woke up, Logan gasped and doubled over, suddenly feeling a strong urge to vomit. "Oh, god, Zoey," he rasped. "God, I'm so sorry. Please – "

"Don't touch me!" shrieked Zoey, shoving his hand off her shoulder. She leapt out of Logan's bed. "How can you think I'd forgive you for that?" With that, she grabbed a towel off of the ground, wrapped it around herself, and, still sobbing, ran outside, searching for someone – anyone –

"Zoey?"

It was Chase. With that realization, Zoey ran right into him, sobbing and tucking her head into his shoulder. "Oh, Chase," she whimpered. She hated this. She hated not being in control the way she always was. She hated not commanding the situation. To her, there was nothing worse.

"Zoey, what happened?" demanded Chase. He'd never seen Zoey liked this before. She had never cried in front of him, in fact, not even when he'd told her that he loved her, and she'd replied that she did as well.

"You don't want to know," promised Zoey, with a slight laugh. It felt odd in her mouth, contradictory to everything else she was feeling, but somehow, being with Chase just felt right. "Listen – Chase – " she said, finally settling on the best way to tell him. "You know how you said Logan might get... out of control?" she asked reluctantly, the tears still flowing and choking her voice.

"Yes..." trailed off Chase. He didn't want to see how the two were connected, despite the fact that he knew. He met Zoey's eyes, saw her nod, and completely lost it. "He did this to you?" he screamed, and set off running towards his dorm, without waiting for a response. "I'm gonna kill him!"

Zoey watched him run and collapsed against the tree near the river. "I liked it," she whispered to herself, feeling as though she had betrayed herself. "I liked it. I can't believe I liked it."

"Liked what?" asked Lola, plopping down next to her best friend. "Okay, um, why are you crying, wearing a towel, and talking to yourself?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Zoey sighed, and finally launched into the story about Logan. Lola, who had been working up the courage to ask Logan out for three weeks now, gasped. "He wouldn't do that," she protested.

"He did."

"No!"

"He did."

The two got so wrapped up in their conversaion – much like a typical teenage girl's conversation, with the typical "like"s and "um"s – that they didn't even care about what had happened – not so much, anymore.

Zoey turned to Lola at one point, though, changing that fact. "I liked it," she murmured again, disbelieving.

"You liked... you liked the...?" Lola trailed off, not knowing how to finish.

Zoey nodded.

"Oooh."

Zoey nodded again. "Yeah. Oooh. I don't get it. I mean, it didn't hurt – not like when Chase does it," she grudgingly admitted. Lola had been trying to get Zoey to admit that she had Chase had been Doing It for awhile. "He honestly seemed to care how it felt for me, even though I didn't want it at all. Or... or did I?" she asked herself worriedly. "I don't know what I want anymore."

Lola closed her eyes for a long moment. "Look, Zo. I don't know a lot about sex. But I know a lot about people – they're structured a specific way in plays and movies, and they match real people pretty well. Let me ask you something."

Zoey looked up at her friend curiously. "Yeah?"

"Well. If it's uncomfortable for you when Chase does it, but not with Logan, it would seem that Logan made an effort to be careful, right?"

"Yeah."

Lola smirked. "Do you love Chase?"

"Yes."

Then, Zoey really thought about it. Did she love Chase, her best friend and boyfriend of four years and six months, respectively? Sure, she loved him – but like a brother. After telling this to Lola, the aspiring actress laughed.

"That's what I thought, Zo. You don't love Chase. You love Logan. And by the looks of it, he loves you, too."

Zoey gasped. "But – Lol – he raped me."

Lola sighed. "Zoey, be honest with me, okay?" she asked, and took a deep breath. "Logan's our friend, right? – Well, kind of. And he wouldn't really do that if he thought you weren't okay with it. Did you say no?"

Zoey thought back. She couldn't remember. If she had, it was only because she felt awkward about losing control of the situation. "I don't know," she whispered.

Lola stood up. "There's your answer."
