Pairings: Post Chase/Rebecca, hints of Chase/Zoey

Timeframe: After 'Goodbye Zoey, but before 'Trading Places.'

She took a deep breath before approaching him. He was sitting in the lounge late at night, alone. She walked around the sofa slowly, and saw his eyes widen.

"Can I sit down?" She said, quietly.

He straightened up and muted the TV he was watching. "Yeah, sure."

She sat down, and they stayed silent for several painful moments.

"Look, Chase." She said, breaking the silence. "I'm really sorry."

"For…?"

"For everything. For threatening Zoey and trying to control you, and for black mailing her." She took another deep breath. "I'm not really sure what had gotten into me this past semester, but I'm really, really sorry."

"It's cool." He smiled ever so slightly. "I know you think I used you, but I didn't. I really did like you, Rebecca."

"You just love Zoey more." She smiled as she said this, all bitterness removed.

He nodded. "Yeah, but I really screwed that up, didn't I."

She shrugged. "Maybe, but I think things will work out somehow. She loves you too, she just doesn't know it."

He sighed. "I wish that were true."

"I've seen the way she looks at you. She loves you."

He shook his head. "If she loved me she wouldn't be five thousand miles away right now."

"Like I said, she just doesn't know it yet."

"So what are you saying?"

She rolled her eyes. "Chase, I've seen how mopey you've been since she left. Go get her, and make her realize that she loves you."

He stared at her and smiled. "Thank you."

She smiled back. "It's no problem. And I swear, I've changed. No more psychotic ex-girlfriend shit, I promise."

His eyes were still sad, but he leaned over and gave her a hug, and she hugged him back.

She got up and left, and she felt a weight being pulled off of her shoulders. She had come to appreciate being single, and she finally felt as if she could live with herself again.

Her feelings towards him were neutral. She didn't hate him, not like she did when he first broke up with her, but all friendly feelings towards him were gone too. He was just another classmate now, just a classmate with a short history and resolved feelings. He had moved on, and so had she.
