Later on, Zoey was outside sitting by herself. She was crying all alone. She knew she made a mistake when she said those things to Lola. She knew she must have broken William's heart. That was the last things she wanted. All she wanted was to have a good time at the dance, but instead she had to deal with choosing between her friends or Will.
Unexpectedly, Chase was meandering around and he then saw Zoey, who was weeping quietly. He had thought about what Logan had said to him about how he would have to comfort her. Chase glanced around and saw that Will was nowhere in sight. He knew that this was his chance to move in.
"Zoey are you okay?" Chase walked up to her.
"Chase, if you really don't mind, I would like to be alone." Zoey said politely.
"Well, I can be alone with you." Chase sat down.
After a few moments of silence, Chase did not know what to say. Therefore, right before he was going to say something, Zoey broke the silence first.
"Do you think I'm a good person?" Zoey asked.
"Well, of course I think you are a good person. You're actually a great person." Chase corrected.
"Then why come, when I get something nice, people don't think I deserve it." Zoey debated.
"What are you talking about? You deserve anything you want." He responded.
"But how come, when I like a guy, no one wants me to go out with him. They just want me to be nothing more than their friends." Zoey stated.
"Well," Chase took a deep breath, "You told me that you have a hard time with priorities, so maybe you might spend a little too much time with that guy."
"Maybe you're right. Maybe I should not be with William. The timing isn't right... Thanks for being here for me." Zoey hugged Chase.
This is what Chase wanted. He wanted Zoey to abandon Will and choose him. He wanted Zoey to stay with the gang. However, something did not feel right for Chase. He wanted Zoey, but he did not want her choice to be influence by her friends. He wanted her, to make her own decisions.
"Zoey wait." Chase pulled away from the hug.
"What?" Zoey asked.
"Do you like Will?" Chase questioned.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Zoey wondered.
"It has to do with everything. Do you like him?" Chase repeated.
"I like him a lot." Zoey confessed.
"Then you should stay with Will." He declared.
"What? Why?" Zoey speculated.
"Because, I'm your friend and I would like you to spend as much time as possible with us. But friends come and go, but with someone special like Will; you should make sure you don't lose him." Chase lectured.
"But I don't want to forget about my friends." She pondered.
"And you don't have to. You can work on those priorities, but more importantly, you have to find someone for yourself. If you stay with your friends, you'll never know what love is." Chase addressed, "You should go find William and apologize."
Zoey, overwhelmed by Chase's enthusiasm, hugged him. She was happy that she had at least one friend who wanted to see her happy. In addition, everything Chase had said was right; therefore, she would have to work out her priorities. Just because she liked a guy, does not me she had to forget about her friends.
"Thank you." Zoey got up and went to find Will.
On the other hand, Chase could not believe what he had done. He had the opportunity of the lifetime to be with Zoey. Nonetheless, he did not do anything, because he knew it was not the right time. Right now, all Chase wanted was Zoey to be happy and the only way that was going to happen, was if she chose Will.
