A/N: Well, I got some complaints about the last chapter being short so I'll just write another that is a little longer. It was short for a reason, you know. I didn't want to add useless details and like I mentioned before I'm busy beyond belief. But anyway, here's your update.
Yea for speed writing!
Oh and I never made one of these:
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Zoey 101 but I do own the plot...if that's possible. :)
Reunited
-Chapter Sixteen-
Chase went back to his house to find all of Christine's things and a few of his own missing. Michael, Nicole, Dana, and Logan weren't there. Chase walked through the deathly quiet house and up the stairs. Instead of going to his own room, he found himself in the guest room that Zoey had stayed in. It still smelled like her. On the bed he saw a note and a big wad of cash. He moved the money off of the paper and read it.
Dear Chase and Christine,
Thanks for all you've done. Here's money for the gas, food, etc. Enjoy you're lives together.
-Zoey
Oh gosh, Chase thought. He picked up the money. Three Hundred dollars. That was way too much. Especially for a woman who just lost her job and had a baby on the way. There was no way he could take that from her. He pulled his cell phone and dialed her number again even though she wasn't answering it.
"Hi this is Zoey. Sorry I can't answer right now. Leave a message." BEEP!
This time Chase decided to actually leave a message, "Hey...uh this is Chase. I need to talk to you. Call back when you get the chance. Bye."
Chase looked around the room. Zoey left it neater than it was before she got there. Chase heard the door open and automatically knew it was his friends. They could never really be quiet, even when they tried.
"Chase! Are you here man?" Michael yelled as he walked up the stairs.
"Uh...yeah I'm in here," Chase shouted back
"Dude, where have you been?" Michael burst into the room.
"I went out of town for awhile," Chase shrugged.
"Yeah, well Christine took like, half of your things," Nicole popped her head in the room.
"I've noticed," Chase replied bluntly, "Remind me to change the locks."
"So where did you go?" Michael asked curiously.
Chase shook his head and ignored his friend's question, "I'm going to bed." Chase walked into his room and shut the door behind him.
The next morning Zoey woke up around 11 a.m. She had strange dreams all night.
First, she dreamed about PCA, like it was the old days. She and Chase were best friends again and everything was normal- only she and Chase were together as a couple. They were at a dance and he kissed her. She could almost feel it. That was the only good dream she had.
After that there was a dream that she was swinging on a tire swing in the summer over the lake in Wisconsin that she and Chase had walked by. He was pushing her on the swing one minute and than he pushed her so high that she was scared and than he disappeared.
The last one was actually the weirdest compared to the other two. She was back in Wisconsin living in in Chase and Christine as their housekeeper. Chase ignored her and Christine acted like the wicked step-mother from Cinderella. She picked up all of Chase's dirty laundry that he left all over the house and than as she was empting his garbage basket, he layed on his bed watching TV he said, "Wait a minute Zoey?" She smiled. Finally, she thought, he's noticed me. We can be friends again.
"Yeah?" She asked expectantly.
"Here take this too!" Chase tossed her a wad of paper and than turned back to the television. Zoey dropped all the garbage and stormed out of the room," No respect. No respect for the maid. I QUIT!" Zoey actually thought that that dream was funny and woke up laughing.
She laid in bed for a few minutes before she decided to get up and go for a walk. Before she had a chance to do so her mother walked in the room with a knock.
"Honey? Were you dreaming about Chase?" Her mother asked slyly.
"What would make you think that?" Zoey asked groggily with a yawn.
"You talk in your sleep," Mrs. Brooks said," and the names Chase and Christine came up a lot."
"Oh...yeah. I guess I did have a dream about him," Zoey said, embarrassed.
"Did something happen between you two?" Mrs. Brooks asked with a teasing smile.
Zoey sighed. She wanted to crawl into her mom's lap and spill out the whole story but," He's married now," was all she could force herself to say.
"Ah...so that's who Christine is," Zoey's mom pulled her daughter closer to her in a comforting hug, "Do you want to talk about this?"
Zoey shook her head and than spotted her blinking cell phone, "Hang on mom I have a voice message."
"Alright sweetie, after your finished please hurry and get ready. I think your father wants to see you and Dustin. He's been asking all night where the two of you are," Mrs. Brooks patted her daughter on the back once more before she left the room. Zoey dialed her voicemail box number. There was one message from Chase. Apparently he really needed to talk to her. Zoey thought for a moment. Should she call, or not? What could he possibly need to talk to her about? And wasn't he supposed to be on his honeymoon? The more she thought the more she knew what she needed to do. She picked up the phone and this time she got his voice mail, "This is Chase. Leave a message."
"Hey. This is Zoey. Just returning your call. Is something wrong? It's not often that people on their honeymoon call their friends. Call back when ya can. Bye."
A/N: Well that was a little longer. Are you guys happy now? I hope so, I skipped my homework in chemistry for it because I felt bad.
Well I'll be gone until Sunday Night. So the next update will be at the earliest, Monday night. That's not a promise.
Please Review, guys. It makes me happy
Noelle.
