I don't own Zoey 101 or anything affiliated with it.

Chapter Three

The Assumptions

"Guys!" Dana yelled, getting up from her bed and knocking Chase out in the process. "This is not how it looks."

"How could you!" Zoey screamed as she ran down the hall to Quinn and Lola's room.

"Zoey!" Chase tried to run after her, only to have the door slammed in his face. Pleas of "I'm sorry" and "Let me explain" followed

Dana found the spot on her bed where she sat moments before, pulled the sleeves of her hoodie down around her hands and sat. With her head in her hands, she wept. Nicole sat on the bed next to her and tried to comfort Dana.

"What happened?" Nicole said softly, once Dana lifted her head.

After a long time, Dana answered. "I don't know. He didn't want to be in his room because Logan and Michael so he came here to hang out until everything was fine. I guess we just feel asleep. Nothing happened." Tears fell once again from Dana's eyes. "God! I'm so sorry, about everything."

"Dana. This isn't all about Chase is it?" Nicole asked. "What's going on?"

"Well, it started about a month after I went to France for orientation, in early July..."

"I mean, if life begins at conception, then abolition really is murder. But if life begins at birth..." Michael was still talking about it.

"Shut up!" Logan yelled, throwing a pillow at him. "I'm too depressed to listen to your ranting."

The door slowly opened and Chase came in very upset. "Dammit, Dana!" Logan's ears nearly moved at the name. As much as he wanted to hate her, he would always love her and love comes with protection.

"What about her?" Logan asked.

"Nothing, it wasn't her fault. But it wasn't mine either. Gosh! Everything has to happen to me!"

"What happened?"

"Well,..." Chase recalled the events of the night.

"No way!" Nicole screamed when Dana had finished her story.

"And I haven't told Logan about Lucas. The worst part is, I still love him." Dana said

There was a small knock at the door. "Dana," It was Zoey. "Can I talk to you?"

Zoey's tone was soft and it seemed like the anger had left her. Dana nodded and motioned for her to come in. Zoey sat on Dana's bed. Dana pulled down the sleeves of her shirt as Zoey began to talk.

"Why was Chase in here?" Zoey asked.

"Zo, I think we need to go back farther than tonight." Nicole said quietly.

A/N: So, I forgot to put a disclaimer, so I added it to this chapter. It goes for all the chapters. Sorry for this chapter being so short, I'm going to add another one (longer) later tonight. Thanks for your reviews, keep them coming back.
