(A/N: dude, did I like...Die or something:P I'm so so SO sorry...I actually have the rest of the story already planned out...I just couldn't find a way to actually write it down...And I wasn't going to pots this until I finished at least halfway through the next chapter, but I decided that would take me a while to get around to, so here is chapter fourteen.)

Recap...

"Hi, I'm Chase. Zoey's boyfriend." Chase introduced himself to Josh, holding his hand out for a handshake.

"You have a boyfriend?" The blond looked at Zoey, uncertainly.

"No," Zoey started, her voice cold. "I don't know what he's talking about." She shot him an icy glare before walking into the living room and taking a seat next to Nicole. She left Chase standing there, confused and hurt as Josh just pat him on the shoulder sympathetically and sat down next to Zoey.

"I'll get that." Chase choked out, still in shock after he heard a knock at the door. Without peeping through the peephole,Chase opened the door, revealing a man swaying on the spot, looking as if he'd fall over any second, as he held a half drunk beer bottle.

"Well, if it isn't lil miss runaway and her boyfriend." The man staggered into the house, pushing by Chase, and stared pointedly at Zoey, whose eyes had now widened to the size of basketballs (metaphorically speaking, of course).

"Umm...Zoe?" Nicole leaned over closer to Zoey, not taking her eyes off the stranger who had just entered her house. "Do you know him?"

"Unfortunately," Zoey muttered as she pushed herself up off the couch and slowly inched towards the telephone. Careful not to make any sudden movements, she handed it to Nicole.

"Call your Uncle." Zoey whispered to her.

"Put. The phone. Down." Drew ordered menacingly, slowly walking towards them, but tripped over his own two feet.

"Run." She whispered urgently to the three teens as she quickly broke into a run out the door, grabbing a stunned Chase by the hand on her way out. As the group ran through the field, Chase slowly moved out of his shocked state and jogged up towards Zoey, who was leading the teens across the field.

"Zoe? Umm...Thanks?" Zoey didn't pay him any attention and continued straight ahead. "Zo--" He began, trying to get her attention, but was shortly cut off.

"It's fine. I couldn't let you get killed by him." She told him, almost emotionlessly. (A/N: See? CZ isn't completely killed...yet...:o)

"Well, I...wanted to know why you t-told him I wasn't your b-boyfriend..." Chase stuttered, nervously.

"You know why." She 'reminded' him coldly.

"Actually...I really don't."

"Don't play stupid with me." Zoey sneered at him as she sped her jog up to a run.

"Zoey, I swear! I'm not playing! ZO-" He called to her, attempting to catch up.

"UGH!" Zoey screeched, whipping around. The other three were now watching the argument intently, Emma smirking inwardly. "Can you just leave me alone?!"

"Wh-"

"Chase! Just leave me alone for ONE FREAKING DAY!" She stopped to catch her breath. She was exausted from both the yelling and the running from Mr. Psycho-killer. Chase just remained silent(and slightly scared), as did Nicole, Emma and Josh. The silence was broken by the rumble of an engine and Emma's scream.

"NICOLE! I TOLD YOU TO TAKE THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION!"

Drew was driving the tractor, swerving, turning the wheel apparently any way he felt like.

"What are you all doing standing there?! RUN!" Zoey yelled at them, taking off. The four followed Zoey as she ran into the dry corn maze.

"Why'd you lead us in HERE? I can never find my way out of these things..." Josh panted obnoxiously, glaring at Zoey.

"You didn't HAVE to follow me," Zoey glared back, crossing her arms. "In fact, you didn't even have to come with me to the farm, and you know it."

"Well next time I won't! I'm about to get killed and it's all your fault!" Josh sneered at her.

"How is it MY fault?! YOU'RE the one who INSISTED on coming with me here, and I didn't ASK you to follow me into this maze!"

"Well it's still your fault!"

"Have you even been listening to a WORD I've been SAYING?"

"No, it's not!" Josh fought back, obviously not having listened to a word that came out of Zoey's mouth.

"You know, I hate to break up this little 'love fest'," Emma started, using air quotes. "but we should keep running." She finished, noticing the rumble of the tractor getting louder.

"Yea." Zoey began to run through the maze, not even waiting for the others.

"Great. A dead end. Thanks a lot, Zoey." Josh said sarcastically, finally catching up to her.

"Well you didn't have to follow her again!" Chase butted in, receiving a glare from Zoey telling him to stay out of it.

"Everyone just chill! It's not like the walls are cement," Nicole reminded the group as she parted the stalks of corn and began to walk through. They walked for about two minutes, every step, careful as they were, getting scratched by the dry vegetation, until they came out one side of the maze, where they came to face with a barn. The paint on the wooden structure was chipped off in many different places. What little paint was still left on the building was faded from red to a pink colour. (A/N: Remember, even though it's sorta evening, it's still bright out cuz it's summer...so they CAN see it) The door made a high-pitched squeak as Nicole slowly pulled it open. "Come on, in here." She opened the door wide enough for the whole group to enter.

"What are we doing in HERE? This is a dead end for sure!"

"Josh can you for once, NOT be obnoxious?"

"Will everyone just shut up and find a place to hide?!" Everyone scrambled to find places, hearing the roar of the engine, sounding much closer than before.

Emma was small enough and managed to hide inside a wooden crate while Nicole, Chase and Josh hid in the hayloft. Zoey was still running around, trying to find a place to hide as the rumble became louder and louder with each second. A certain bushy-haired teen noticed this.

"Zoey!" Chase whisper-screamed (A/N: hah...i dunno what else you can call it...but I'm sure you know what I mean...) to her, jumping out of the loft. "Here, you hide in the hayloft and I'll run around to the outside and hide in the cornmaze or something."

"No, Chase. You need a spot just as much as I do." She told him firmly, crossing her arms.

"Just go!" He responded, practically throwing her into the loft.

"Chase!" Zoey protested, slowly getting up, her shirt now covered in straw.

"Just stay there!" Chase yelled back angrily, finally losing his patience. "Just stay! I'm going!" Zoey watched helplessly as he ran towards the squeaky pink door. However, he didn't manage to reach his destination.

They all felt the atmosphere around them shake as the front end of the tractor crashed through the already worn wall of the barn. Then they heard a slurred voice laugh drunkly and yelling out to...well, no one in particular.

"Wow. Tha' was grea'..." A thump was heard, presumably coming from Drew as he jumped/fell off the tractor. He ran into the door a few times, obviously thinking it was to be pushed open. Finally, a squeak was heard (Making Chase freeze on the spot) as Drew learned how to open the door. His eyes fell upon Chase, and the corners of his mouth upturned into a malicious smile.

"'Ello Poppet..." (A/N: Heh...Pirates of the Carribean...) He began to advance on Chase, when he saw a small glint from the corner of his eye. An axe was located conviently by the door, wedged into a tree stump. Chase's eyed widened. At the fact that Drew was about to have an axe in his hands, being maybe seven meters away from him, and at the thought that knowing Zoey, sometime soon, she'd jump out of her hiding spot to try and save him.

"Zoey, I know what you're thinking. Don't do it," He yelled out sternly, still slowly inching backwards to get away from the scary man, now holding the axe. He turned and faced Drew. "Okay, dude. Put the axe down. We can work this out." Chase told the axe murder (A/N: hehehehheheheh...cuz...he's got an axe...and he wants to murder people...fine. Don't laugh.) uncertainly. The only response he recieved was a menacing glare as Drew continuing to advance on him, axe in hand...

(A/N: Ahhh, I know you all hate me right now. But I've started working on the next chapter already! If I could just find some time to FINISH it...well, thanks for reading! -will give you virtual cheesecake if you review-
