Summary: What's really going on with Chase's parents? How's Chase handling his new found depression? If Logan decides to talk to Dana, will she accept his apology?

Chase POV

A week later and nothing had changed, except for the fact that Logan had to go back to class. He was in like five of Dana's classes. This made Logan whine a lot. It was getting annoying and I was happy he was out with Michael, Nicole and Lola today. He was angry with Lola and Nicole but I guess he was bored.

I just sat there. I never went out and it seemed like I hadn't talked to anyone in forever. My brother called me once or twice. He never had much to say, just that he was sad and he was upset. Allen was having a hard time, but I don't think he was having as much of a hard time as me. My mom called every night. I still didn't know why they were getting divorced. My phone rang. It was my mom, again. This was the third time today. "Hello?"

"Hey, Chase, honey." She said. She had the same sad tone in her voice. "Your father left today." She said quietly. I could tell that Allen was in the room.

"Oh, and that's supposed to make me happy? How could you do this to me mom?" I said. I don't know why I blamed it on her, I just figured it was her fault.

"No, Chase, I just thought you would want to know. Honey, I know this is hard for you, but it was for the best." She said.

"What is you divorcing my father and tearing apart my family for the best?" I yelled.

She started to cry. "Chase, you don't understand. It's not what I wanted either." She said.

"Mom, your divorcing him! WHY? I don't even know the reason!" I yelled.

"You really want to know what happened?" She said. She seemed a bit more confident now.

"Yah, I do. I bet Allen knows." He said huffily.

"He does, but he was here when your father told us." She said.

"Told you what?" I questioned.

"Chase, your father has been cheating on me, and well you boys too, the past 7 years." She said softly. I couldn't breathe. I didn't make any noise. "His business trips were all lies Chase. The weekends he had to work, were all lies. Her name is Elizabeth Alden. She's 27 and she worked for the company at one point. She has a child, Chase, and he's your father's child." She broke it to me slowly. I could have sworn I was hyperventilating. I started to cry. How could he? Why did he do it? Why wasn't my mom good enough?

"I'm so sorry mom. Do you want me to come home and be with you and Allen?" I asked her when I finally caught my breath.

"If you want to, honey. That would be alright. Call me later if you decide to come home or not. I love you baby, don't forget that. We'll all be alright." She said.

"I love you too. Tell Allen I love him too and that I might be home soon." I told her as I hung up the phone. I started to cry again. I couldn't believe it. I was going to have to go back home, but what about Zoey?

Dana POV

Logan was in like five of my classes and he was always trying to talk to me. I wouldn't have it. He basically took my heart, ripped it out of my chest and blew it up (like his head) and then popped it. If that makes any sense at all. I'm confused about him. He acts like a total jerk one minute and a completely nice guy the next. What the hell? I saw him with Lola and Nicole, those bitches. They went behind my frigging back and totally betrayed me. It was expected from Lola, but Nicole. I was pissed. Michael was there too, I had no problems with him yet. Just Logan, Lola and Nicole. What an nice ring to it, not.

Michael saw me and waved me over. I wanted to murder him. I couldn't be rude, well I could, but decided not to be because I was curious. Curiosity may kill the cat, but Dana wasn't some girly cat, she was a tough dog and she played with the big dogs. I walked up to them.

"Hi Michael," I greeted him normally, "Lola, Nicole," I paused once more and made a hard look over at the boy that blew my heart into pieces, "and Logan." I half smirked at my nasty look.

"Hey, what's up? Have you talked to Chase lately?" He asked.

"Um, not really. He seems kind of down. I don't want to like say something wrong." I said.

"Since when do you hold back from saying what you like?" Logan asked. How dare he!

"Since when did you start questioning what I do, Reese? Since when do you get to know? Since when do you think I have NO FEELINGS?" I asked. He just looked at me, with what seemed like remorse. I felt sick. Logan was a jerk, too bad I had to like him. Stupid feelings.

He shook his head. "I'm sorry." He whispered.

I knew what he said, but I figure I'd make him work. "What?" I asked him.

"Nothing, never mind." He responded.

"Oh. Well, excuse me but for a minute there I thought you said…" I paused, "No, forget it." I said. I began to walk away. I heard him get up behind me.

He grabbed my arm. Part of me wanted to punch him and the other part wanted to listen. I met a happy medium and just shook him off roughly but stayed. "What? That I'm sorry? You MUST know that I am. I'm sorry Dana." He said.

I wanted to cry or get sick or something but I just looked up at him with anger and fear and sadness. "For what?" I asked him. "Sorry for what?" I don't know why I asked him that, it just came out.

"I'm sorry that I told you that you didn't mean anything to me and that we shouldn't be friends. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. I'm sorry for being the biggest jerk ever. I'm so sorry for all of that. I'm an idiot, Dana, I really am. I make things bad and I hurt the people that care about me the most, partly because I'm scared. I'm stupid and I deserve to have you hit me right now, although I wish you wouldn't, I really do deserve it. You have to hate me and you should. You have every right too. You are an amazing girl and all you ever did was care for me and I let you down. I'm sorry for everything that has made you think any less of yourself and I'm sorry for everything I've done to make you upset, sad or angry. I'm sorry." He said.

He looked me straight in the eye. I wanted to melt. I couldn't though, I was a tough Dog, remember? Dana, hold yourself together. He started to speak again. "One thing I am not sorry about is what we had together. You are the most amazing girl, no person, I've ever met and for you to want to share your time with me, it makes me want to be around you and with you even more." He said.

I felt my face getting hot. What was he saying? Did he say that he liked me? Did he say that he wanted to be with me. I looked at him. I didn't say anything. I was in a state of shock. I looked down, then back up into his gorgeous eyes. WHY ME? I didn't know what to do, so I just did what any CAT would do, I walked away with the most confused look on my face.

A/N: Awe, I really liked writing this chapter. I don't know what all the metaphors and similes or what not were. I'm so tired. Haha, thanks for the reviews! Please review some more, they are greatly appreciated.
