A/n: Hehehe. I am evil leaving you at cliffies.

Chapter 5:

"Ouch!" He complained dragging his hands over his ears. "You can't talk but you can scream!" Dana raised her hand to her heart and allowed her breathing to shallow. Logan looked apologetic. "I didn't mean to scare you." He sighed. She smacked him angrily and signalled to herself, wearing only a towel. He handed her her clothes. "I just thought... with current events that... being in the showers out of hours was dangerous for you." She nodded. In all fairness he was right. She took his hands and placed them over his eyes then turned him round indicating she wanted to get dressed.

"So I decided to be your escort." He said. She gave a theatrical sigh, obviously sarcasm laced. Sort of a witty
'My Hero.' She tapped his shoulder to signal she was dressed.
"Might wanna dry your hair it's cold out." She pouted. He smiled gently and took the towel, sitting down beside her he lightly rubbed her hair with it. She gave an odd 'Hmm' ing noise that showed she was pleased. "Can I ask a question?" She gave a
"umf." Noise from deep in her throat.
"If I'm not allowed to ask who your attacker is... am I allowed to askWHY I'm not allowed to ask who he is?" He questioned her. Dana sighed and turned to him. "He's still at PCA isn't he? And the other day, at the dance... he was there." Dana felt a shiver up her spine and nodded.

"Why won't you turn him in?" He breathed. Her eyes fell. He sighed and went back to towelling her hair. "I know you're scared Dana, but what if he does this again?" Dana shuddered. She raised her eyes to his. "Turn him in?" He begged. Dana shook her head in a clear but sad
'no' manner.
"Why not?" She took Logan's hand and clasped it in hers then held it to her heart, which was beating rythmically. "You love him?" She shook her head. "Dana I really don't get this one." He sighed. She frowned and then slung one arm sidewaysabove her breastsand crossed the other over it. Then she rocked them back and forth gently. "He got... you were... holy..."

Dana gave a sad nod. Logan bit his lip hard, he tasted blood.
"What happened to the baby?" He asked eventually. Dana's eyes cast down again. Logan fell silent. "Abortion?" He asked softly. She sighed without a clear yes or no and stood up, walking out. He followed her silently. His head was spinning. he couldn't blame her, if she had aborted the baby... but if she hadn't then where was it? Was it possible the rapist was a father? Did he know?

When they got to her dorm she gave him a very weak smile. He walked her in then hugged her close, trying to gauge how she was feeling. She didn't feel scared, or protected. She felt warm and maybe he was getting it confused with his emotions but he had never felt a greater love. He rubbed her back lightly and she nuzzled into him.
"How're you feeling Dana?" He asked her gently. "Let me in." Dana pulled back slightly cocking one eyebrow. Then she gave an over exaggerated yawn. He understood that meant she was tired. He pulled back her covers, she giggled and climbed in.

"If you need to talk." He said softly. She nodded. He sat on the end of her bed and tugged the covers over her, tucking her in gently. He stroked her hair out of her eyes very sweetly. "How could they do this to you Dana?" He sighed. She gave him a weak 'it happens' smile. Then he surprised even himself. He leaned down and placed his lips to hers.One of his hands rubbing down her cheek lovingly. She was an exceptionally good kisser.Forgetting about Katie, he ran his tongue along her lips, begging for entrance which she very cautiously permitted. After frenching for what seemed like an eternity Dana came to her senses she smacked him violently.

"Ouch." That had actually hurt. "Sorry. I guess... you're not comfortable with guys anymore. God I'm so stupid." She took his hands gently in hers and shook her head. Then she kissed his cheek and shook her head again, more sadly. By this she meant
'I'm not off guys. I like you. But you have a girlfriend you dolt' He understood.
"Sorry. But... if things had been different." He promised her. She smiled. It felt nice to know she was loved. He didn't want to leave her but he knew he had to. His girlfriend would be in his room complaining. He kissed Dana's cheek lightly and stood up. "If I knew his name..." Logan assured her. "I'd punch his lights out." Dana giggled and went to bed with a smile.


She was there when he arrived. Tapping her red stiletto heel on his carpet.Katie always wore red stiletto's becauseshe was exceptionally short.
"I haven't seen you all day!" She moaned.
"I'm sorry." He said automatically. He was not sorry at all. She pouted.
"Where've you been?"
"Just about Katie, does it actually matter?" Chase, from behind her caught the hostility in his room mates voice. Katie however didn't and flung her arms around his neck. She cuddled into him. He accepted her but wasn't happy. He caught Chase's eyes and signalled that they needed to talk.
"Yeah well I missed you. Don't go wandering tomorrow."
"Why not?" He had been hoping to maybe get an insight into the rapist's name tomorrow.
"Because. I'm taking you out." She grinned she kissed him deeply, her tongue probing it's way between his lips. He felt how forceful she kissed and remembered how soft and sweet Dana had kissed. Why Chase had said she kissed like a vacuum cleaner he'd never know. Thinking about kissing Dana was a major turn on and he started to get more into kissing Katie.

Laughing she pulled him on top of her onto the bottom bunk. She deepened the kiss.
"Not on my bed guys." Snapped Chase.
"Why not, most action it's seen since you came to PCA Matthews." Katie said. Logan broke away.
"Come on Katie, I stayed with you last night." He complained. "I'm tired."
"Why?" She pouted.
"I just am ok. Tomorrow?"
"But I wanna make out NOW." She growled.
"I don't really care." He snapped. Katie's lip quivvered. She pulled out of his grasp and made for the door in tears. He leaped up. "Katie don't be like that."
"You've been really foul to me for ages Logan what's going on?" She cried. He wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm stressed." He said gently. "And I'm taking it out on you... and it's not right." He sighed. "I'll make it up to you?"

"How?" She sniffled.
"Um..." He shrugged then realised what she wanted. He leaned down and whispered something in her ear, nibbling it softly as he drew back.
"Really?" She breathed. He nodded slowly. She kissed him roughly and disappeared down the hall. he closed the door behind her.
"What'd you do?" Chase asked, astounded.
"I told her that if she left me alone tonight, I'd sleep with her." Logan shrugged offhandedly.
"That still thrills her?" He asked rolling his eyes.
"Never done it before." He confessed.
"Are you serious!"
"Yeah."
"Why not?"
"Coz. I'm not THAT into her. But if it'll shut her up I might aswell." Logan shrugged and sat on Chase's bed. Chase sat beside him.

"How'd it go with Dana?" Logan hung his head. He debated whether or not to tell Chase what Dana had told him.
"He..." Logan took a deep inhalation. "He got her pregnant." He exhaled.
"Doesn't surprise me." Chase said sadly. "Hardly protect themselves do they... those guys." Logan felt tears prick his eyes.
"How could they do that to her though?" He whispered.
"Dunno..." Chase felt his voice was breaking under the thought of someone hurting her like that. "What... what happened to the baby?"
"She wouldn't say." He sighed. Chase swallowed the lump in his throat. "She was 14." Logan said digging his nails into his palms. "It's not fair."
"I know." Logan felt the warmth spreading through his fingertips as though they were on fire and he knew he'd cut the skin.
"If I ever find out who he is." Logan swore. "I'll kill him."
"You love her don't you?" Chase asked softly.
"Yeah." He nodded tears spilling down his cheeks. "I love her."


"I WANT HER OUT!" screamed the girl. The guy raised his hands and pinned hers to the wall.
"These things take time. I'm not gonna kill her."
"I didn't ask you to kill her." She snapped. "Just beat her up. It worked last time." He couldn't resists the smirk. "Look," She said tapping her high heel on the floor. "Do as I say."
"Always Mistress." He said sarcastically, capturing her lips with his own.
"I can't make out with you. A) I have a boyfriend. B) I have to go out with him today. Have Dana out of PCA by tonight." She warned. Twinkling herfingers as the boy nodded, and watched her walk off, clicking her red heels on the lino.


Katie practically had to drag her boyfriend out the next day and he wasn't happy about it.
"Still on for tonight?" Katie asked raising her thinly pencilled eyebrows.
"I didn't say tonight." Logan droned.
"Please?" She begged. "Oh please oh please oh please oh pllllleeeease!" She used her annoying whiny tone. Logan had never noticed how irritating his girlfriend was.
"Why tonight?" He moaned.
"Because." She saidgently, placing her hand on his arm."I got it all planned in my head. We'll hang round here til 5, then grab a burger. Then we'll go back to PCA, go into my room and..." She smiled softly. "I love you Logan... y'know that." Logan slipped his arm around her waist.
"I know." Whereas it wasn't the 'I love you' Katie had hoped for, she prayed that would come later tonight.


"Hey Dana." Chase said. Seeing him her face lit up. She had been sat on the bed playing video games on her own looking increasingly bored, with a bag of dorito's in one hand. She jumped up and thrust a controller at him. It was the first time in a long time he'd seen her truly smile. She was excited.
"Ok, I'm warning you though, I kick butt at this game." Dana cackled and promptly began the process of kicking his butt. But both cars crashed when out of the blue Chase said

"Logan told me." She froze, took a look at her crashed car then shrugged at him. "What happened Dana... to the baby?" Dana took a few deep breaths and signalled for him to pass her the book that was to his left. He took it and a pen, hoping her writing would be legible. However, seeing the pen Dana shook her head. She held a finger to her lips.
"Just between the three of us?" Chase asked. Dana shook her head then pointed at herself, Chase, and herself again. "Ok, just us two." She opened the book and pulled a photo from it's sticky place on the front page. She handed it to Chase.

It was clearly a sonogram picture, slightly blurred, but a sonogram.
"So... did you adopt it out?" He questioned. Dana bit her lip and opened the next page. It showed a vaguely smiling girl in a hospital bed with a tiny bundle of white blankets. As she flicked through the pages Chase saw the tiny bundle grow up and get to be a toddler. Dark curly hair and wide brown eyes, a picture of him at two and a half in a soccer kit with a ball in his arms, the ball almost twice his size,reminded him of Logan. "He's gorgeous." He mumbled. Chase couldn't understand how something so beautiful could come from something that was so horrid it brought a girl to silence.

Dana stroked the picture and smiled lightly.
"So THAT's why you wouldn't turn him in... you were afraid they'd take him away from you?" Dana nodded. "Dana..." Dana shook her head. "They couldn't take him. I promise you." Dana shook her head again. "Ok." he sighed. "I won't tell Logan. But I think you should." Dana bit her lip then shrugged and tapped her watch. She grabbed the console and giggled at his shocked expression. She batted her hand as if to say 'I'm over it'

He knew she wasn't.


Nicole strutted in as per usual when she had a boyfriend. Her head held high, her breasts out thrust and her handbag swinging.
"I hate those heels." Zoey said. "They make me feel short."
"Zoey you are short." Teased Chase. Zoey gave her ex boyfriend a not so playful whack on the head, but it didn't hurt as his bushy hair acted like a helmet..
"Still..." Zoey eyed Nicole's red stiletto's with distaste.
"It's not my fault." Nicole sighed. "Clayton's super tall." She scowled "How am I supposed to kiss him from down at my regular level?"
"Chase is a lot taller than me and I manage to kiss him." Zoey said bitterly.
"MANAGE?" Nicole chirruped excitedly, hoping her two best friends getting back together would lift the solemn silence that seemed to have arrived the the re entry of Dana.
"ManageD, you know what I meant." She snapped.
"Either way. I got a date today, ciao." Nicole twinkled her fingers and left.

"You DID mean..." Chase asked hopelessly.
"Yes!" Zoey growled snatching some popcorn from his bowl.
"Just checking." He mumbled.

A/n: NOW how many girls with red stiletto's were there? There's more than one suspect here hehehe.
