(Author's Note) Well I hope you people like this story so far. This week I have mid-winter break so I'm trying to write as much as possible. Please read and review. It will help speed up the process so I know what I do well and what I need to work on more. So write reviews people. I've also decided to create a continuous circle of POV so even if a character isn't as important to that chapter, it might end up being partly their POV.

Chapter 8: You Can't, I Need You

A-POV

A couple more weeks had gone by at P.C.A. St. Patrick's Day has come and gone. Adam continued running most mornings with Lola, but they still only remain close friends. Adam was sitting under a tree with Zoey Brooks.

The blond teenager was drawing hearts in a notebook, while the red headed boy was leaning against the tree reading a book. Adam closed his book and put it down letting out a loud sigh. Zoey looked up from her half drawn heart to give him a questioning stare.

Adam: So…..

Zoey: So what?

Adam: I don't know anything new?

Zoey: Since you asked me this morning? Nope not really. Tell me what is occupying your thoughts Adam, I know there's something or someone you want to talk about.

Adam: There are several things that I happen to be thinking about.

Zoey now gave him her full attention: Oh really? What would these things be?

Adam opened his mouth but stopped before he said something. Zoey doesn't quiet need to know about how I feel about Lola yet. Its not like anything could happen between us. Telling Zoey would probably just make things more awkward for her. Well now I have to say something. You know you've been wearing that flannel shirt a lot recently. Is there any particular reason why? Perhaps some bushy haired guy whose head over heels for you. I can think of one particular individual, and his initials happen to match the ones you've been writing in all those hearts.

Zoey blushed a little obviously embarrassed: Well, I trust you so I'm guessing you figured out this was his shirt? His favorite shirt? One night him and I were out late and it started to rain, I was only wearing a tank top. He insisted I take his shirt to keep from getting sick. The next week he was stuck in his room with a nasty cold, I brought him soup and tissues every day.

Adam: You know it takes a lot of emotion to go across the world for a person.

Zoey: Ya. Its hard trying to find anyone besides him though you know?

Adam: He wouldn't want you to put your whole life on hold just for him. That includes dating.

Zoey sighed: I know, its just there isn't anybody else who I am interested in like that right now. But speaking of which why haven't you asked anyone out?

Crap, does she know. Hey there's Logan, maybe he can get me out of this.

L-POV

Logan Reese was not having a good day. In fact Logan was having a pretty bad week. He found himself always distracted in all of his classes. Whenever any girls tried to flirt with him, they ended storming off complaining about something.

Hey, its Adam and Zoey. Maybe they have something going on to take my mind off of it.

Logan: Hey guys. How's your day so far?

Zoey turned her attention from a blushing Adam to the new teenager to arrive: Pretty good, how about you Logan?

Logan: Eh, I've seen better days.

Adam: Oh crap. Hey Logan weren't supposed to go do that thing today?

What the hell is Adam talking about? Were we supposed to do something today? Ummmm…. Nope, I'm sure of it. Oh did Zoey ask him something awkward, she must have. Adam's got the 'Please let me get the hell of here' look on his face. Oh well, he got me some coffee this morning. I guess I owe him.

Logan: Oh man you're right. We were supposed to go meet Quinn at the science building. Come on if we hurry, I bet we can meet her.

Adam quickly picked up his book. Hugged Zoey 'Good-bye' and ran off with Logan until they were out of sight.

Logan stopped and asked Adam: Wait, did Zoey ask you out?

Adam: What? Why would you think that?

Logan: Well you're plea to get me the hell out of there. You hang out with her a lot and Lola her best friends so you have someone who will help you get to know Zoey. But I'm telling you man, its not going to work. Chase has been after Brooks since day one and she might not have realized it yet but she's totally in love with him too.

Adam: Awh man, you got it all wrong.

Logan: Oh really? Then how do you explain all the flirting and hanging out with the girls?

Adam: Ok I like one of them but I swear its not Zoey.

It better not be Quinn either. Wait why should I care if its Quinn? You know why. No. Admit it. No. Lets just ask and find out who Adam's interested in.

Logan: Who?

Adam: A girl.

Logan: Who?

Adam: One of the girls we know.

Logan: Who?

Adam: LOLA! Ok, happy?

Logan: Oh. That's cool she's nice. She seems into you.

Adam: Look man. I'm sorry for yelling-

Logan: Don't worry about it. I got on your nerves its my fault.

Adam: You sure?

Logan: Ya totally my fault. I guess I just wanted to know. I don't know, can I be honest with you Adam? You know without having to worry about to talking to other people about me?

Adam: Of course you can. Anything you ever need to talk about, I'm your person. Oh wait you're not pregnant are you? Cause I can't help so much with that.

Logan: Hahaha. No but if I ever am I won't bother you about it. Honestly, I've been having issues lately. I can't focus in class. You know I've always been a ladies man and today, I got asked out by Karen but I said 'no'. Its like my powers are out of wack.

Adam: It sounds like someone has got a bad case of being love struck. It's a classic case. 'Ladies man' no longer able to be comfortable with go around, girl to girl every other day. So whose the luck lady?

You already knew that Reese. You ass just man up and admit it. But she's in a relationship. So what, don't you remember 'I'm Logan Reese, I can have any girl'. But that was when I didn't want to stay with them forever. And you need her right? Right. Then you'll always regret, if you never tell her the truth.

Logan: I don't know man. LIAR.

Adam: Ok man, if you ever want to tell me though, you can. But hey I got to go now. You should go find Quinn though, that way we wouldn't have been completely lying to Zoey.

Logan: Ok, see ya around.

Logan Reese walked over to the five-story science building. He knew in her spare time Quinn spent most of her in the science building experimenting. Her favorite room was the chemical lab, of course Logan new this.

Logan went the chemical room on the fifth floor and found it empty. Right before he was about to leave he heard a loud crash. What was that? Go find out. Logan opened the door and found an empty beaker in the middle of the room. There weren't any tables close for it to fall off of but the teenager didn't notice. However he did notice the door leading up to the roof was wide open.

The young teenager walked up the stairs to the roof. On the roof he saw someone standing on the corner of the roof. She looked like she was about to jump. Who is that? Oh no. No, no, NO. Its Quinn.

Q-POV

Come on you chicken. Just do it, one little jump. Then a big whoosh and its all over. Just close your eyes and count to three. Its not that hard. Honestly what' s the point of staying around here. Sure I'm smart but what is the point when I can't even connect with people.

I'm a emotional alien to everyone and everything. I thought Mark was the same. But that Ass apparently just didn't care for me. Why else would he have been kissing her? Why?

Quinn said to what she thought was just herself: Because he doesn't love you. No one does.

Logan had now walked up slowly towards Quinn. Hoping not to startle her causing her to fall he didn't say anything. But at hearing what she said, he spoke: That isn't true.

Quinn shook a little bit startled at the other person on the roof with her. Logan, what's he doing here? He doesn't even know. But he knows you and you know him. Better than either of you can know.

Quinn: Logan he cheated on me. I saw him kissing that slut. I thought he was like me, unable to make real connections with most people. But he just didn't care for me. No one does. No one wants me here. I'm gonna jump.

Logan continued to shorten the distance between them. They were eye level because Quinn was standing on a ledge. All either of them could here was the quickened pace of there pulsing hearts. Logan looked into her bright brown eyes and did what a teenager truly in love would do. Logan: Quinn, you can't, I need you.

Quinn: Logan what are you talking about?

Logan: You're the only one who gets me. You read my mind, say exactly what I don't have the courage to say. When I'm around you, nothing else matters. There are no problems in the world. Quinn Pensky, I love you.

Quinn: What do you mean?

Logan Reese slowly leaned forward. Instinctively Quinn the same until they could feel each others breathing only an inch apart. Logan Reese whispered: This.

In that moment, two hearts began to beat together. Their lips met and they fell into each other. Quinn wrapped her arms around Logan deepening the kiss. Logan wrapped his arms around her hips. He picked her up, bridal style and carried her down to the chemical lab.

They walked out and sat in the hallway for hours just talking to each other. Enjoying the company. Quinn looked down to Logan Reese, his head resting in her lap. She smiled at him, leaned in and whispered: Logan Reese, I am completely and totally in love you and I always will be. She then leaned in and kissed him.

In the chemical lab if you looked around you would see what you would expect. Empty beakers lined up neatly. Chemicals labeled and put away. Bunsen burners with tubes hooked into the wall. If you looked at the center the room, there would be a clear, spotless, clean, and empty floor. No broken glass.
