Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise 

Ok, thank you guys so much! I didn't expect many reviews at all considering it's my first fic! I've only been doing this for 4 days (I would've updated yesterday but my internet went down) and I love this site! Don't expect me to be updating every day for all fics…I just have time this week. I plan on doing about two more chapters… I didn't want to write a long one because I wasn't sure if I was going to be any good- I'll have to read it over and find out for myself. A little constructive criticism wouldn't go amiss, tell me your favourite and least favourite parts!

Just one more thing - please try not to be rude to me… I'm writing this for your enjoyment and can't cater to everyone's needs.

To YouDon'tWantToKnow, an anonymous reviewer… yes, it's D/L, but please don't comment again if you plan on being annoying.

Chapter 4

Logan's POV

They ruined my party! Trust them to steal all of the attention… honestly, the five of them don't deserve me. I can't believe they started that scream-fest in the middle of my party- it was meant to be about me! I mean, hello, the LOGAN party? What does that suggest? Yeah, it means it isn't about Chase and Zoey, it's definitely not about Nicole and Michael and it's sure as hell not about Dana Cruz!

Chase and Dana were on the dance floor, completely oblivious to everyone else. Dana didn't notice any of my 'come hither' looks; or at least didn't dignify them with a response. Zoey's icy stares were going unnoticed by Matthews too- she was getting increasingly hacked off with them. She'd dyed her hair back, was wearing a slinky dress and had put makeup on…for nothing. Barely a single glance from Chase all evening. She was annoyed…and took it out on Nicole.

Usually I just wish Nicole would shut up, but Zoey was being so pathetic about the whole thing that I was rooting for the little blabbermouth to fight back. I mean, I know Zoey is a girl, but did she have to do that?

Dana's a girl. Well, more like a woman. Anyway, she's not inferior to me. She's just as hot (in her own way) and smart, talented, witty, and… I really should stop there. But Zoey and Nicole, the airhead twins? Yeah, they are way beneath me.

First, Zoey starts dancing raunchily with Michael as Chase walks in. Nicole looks like she's gonna cry, but pulls herself together and pulls Zoey away. Nicole starts shouting something about Michael being her dude (well, she obviously didn't say 'dude', but you catch my drift) and tells Zoey that just because she lost her man didn't mean she could steal someone else's. God knows where Chris was by then, but Michael just stood there. Then, get this, Zoey got angry and started shouting at Nicole. It was like she transformed into Dana, in front of my eyes.

Zoey slapped Nicole, which got the attention of the lovely Dana Cruz (lovely? Someone must've spiked my punch). Cruz tried to separate the two, and ended up being slapped by Zoey! (Note to self: never get Brooks angry…it looks painful)

Michael and Nicole tried to discreetly back away (holding hands…so not subtly guys), leaving the little love triangle alone. Words were said, and both girls left crying…leaving Chase all alone. Everyone else who had been watching slowly drifted away… leaving my party just when it was about to get interesting. It wasn't her fault, but I blame Dana Cruz. She ruins everything.

Like she left, and moved to France, breaking my heart in the process. But I'm a guy, I moved on. She tried to contact me many, many times… she didn't see that I wanted to let go. I'm not as much of a jerk as she thinks… I have reasons. Many, many reasons…

Dana's POV:

I know, I know. I don't usually cry. I mean, I cried when I was six, and my dog Woof died (I was six, I wasn't very imaginative). But if I was to bet on who would be the first kid at PCA to make me cry…I would bet on Logan. I mean, I cried for him sometimes in France, because he promised me a 'someday', and I was stupid enough to believe he wouldn't forget me. But all the emails… unreturned, all the letters… returned unopened. I got it. He didn't want me. So I tried to move on. That was hard, so I changed my mind. I didn't want to move on, I wanted revenge on his ass! So this year, I returned to PCA. You should have seen the look on his face when he saw me…I pretended not to recognise him, but his jaw had practically hit the floor from the amount of drooling he did.

I was surprised when I returned to find Zoey still unaware of Chase's feelings. Well, actually, I was annoyed. At Zoey, for making everything so hard for Chase, but mainly at Chase, for being such a wimp. When I cried, I remember thinking to myself 'Hey Dana, you're a wimp now too. No wonder you've become so close'. I hate not being strong. My parting words to Zoey were harsh, but she practically called me a slut…after telling me to go back to France!

Chase had changed more than I thought. After the fight, I ran all the way to the basketball courts, where I threw myself at the floor, and tried to calm down…tried not to remember. I tried to think about Chase to calm myself down…tried to imagine what he would be telling me to make me feel OK. I reminded myself he wouldn't care where I was, but I was wrong. Instead of running to Zoey, he came to find me. I didn't even have to ask him why… but after 10 minutes of him sitting there letting me shiver, he said something really, really sweet.

"I feel like I've known you longer than her. In one night, you've become a better friend. I get the feeling you care…whereas with Zoey it's like she's trying not to. Our entire relationship is based on lies…me pretending she's just a friend to me, and her pretending not to notice that I care. It sucks, you know? And I'm sick of it. So I'm here with you, cos I really need a friend. And I'm thinking maybe so do you…"

He hugged me, like a brother. I knew Chase didn't have a crush on me, and I liked the way he was when Zoey's presence wasn't screwing with his head. He was like the big brother I never had, and even though he wasn't strong, or cool, I felt like he was my protector. He cared… Logan didn't. So yeah, I'd rather have just hung out with Chase, but he insisted we went back to find Logan and apologise. That boy has such a big heart… you gotta admire him for that.
