Chapter 2- Honey and the Moon

"Oh man, he's pulled out the silk," Michael said punching Chase as he watched Logan.

Chase paused the game of Karaoke Revolution 3 that they were playing. "You have to always interrupt me,"

"Oh sorry, but it's not like you're going to win anyways, you sound bad."

"I do not!" Chase exclaimed.

"And speaking of bad, your eye looks a hot mess. Where did you get your latest bruise from?"

Chase remained silent.

"Oh I see, did you get in a fight with Sawyer, did he beat you up with his crutches?"

Chase faked a laugh. "Michael, have I ever told you how hilarious you are."

Michael wiped some imaginary dust off his shoulders, "And I wasn't even trying." He then shifted his eyes back to Logan. "So what's wrong with you fool?"

Logan sprayed on some cologne. He breathed it in. "Mmm, that smells good." And then he sprayed on some more.

Michael stood up and walked over to Logan. "I see you trying to look fresh, with your collar popped, some new jeans, and fresh white K Swiss…where are you taking her?"

Chase turned back on the game and tried to sing in pitch.

Logan scowled, "I'll only answer you after you tell your buddy to shut-up. He sounds bad."

"Hey!" Chase protested.

Michael motioned for Chase to keep going, "So where is Dana, and where are you taking the foxy lady."

Logan laughed suddenly, "Ha, are you kidding me!"

Michael raised an eyebrow, "Okay Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde…the psychotic laugh has got to go."

Logan pushed Michael out of the way.

"The PMS has got to go too."

Logan turned around to face Michael, "Dude, I'm really not in the mood."

"I know what you're in the mood for alright," Michael said walking over to the mini fridge and then pulling out a coke.

"Oh really, then what am I in the mood for?"

Michael popped open the cap and took a swig, "You're in the mood to get some lovin' from Dana Cruz,"

"Shut the hell up!" Logan growled.

Chase stopped singing, and then paused the game. "Woah,"

Logan looked away.

Michael raised an eyebrow, "Well damn, I was just kidding with ya, but I'm going to leave you alone."

Logan sat down on Chase's bed, and then placed his face in his hands.

"I would ask you what's up, but I want to live so…"

"I had sex with Dana," Logan admitted.

"Is that your diary Nicole?"

Nicole looked up from her sketch. "Huh?"

Dana sighed, "Is that your diary."

Nicole glanced down at the diary tossed on the floor with pictures of Jordan and Sawyer on the cover. "Oh yeah, did Zoey see that?"

Dana shrugged, "I don't think so, Sawyer took her to the beach."

Nicole quickly picked up the diary and then stared at Jordan's picture longingly. "We haven't talked since he pushed me away."

Dana reached for Nicole's diary.

"Hey! Give that back!" Nicole screamed.

"Do you have any juicy entries? I need something to distract my thoughts away from Logan."

Nicole tried to reach for her journal once more. "Give it back Dana,"

"Make me,"

Nicole sighed, "Are you serious,"

"I don't have it in me, you're lucky," Dana tossed Nicole's diary on the bed. "Is that a good release,"

"What do you mean release?" Nicole asked.

"As in letting go of things…letting go of boys that only cause heartbreak and anger."

"I guess so," Nicole said.

"What are you drawing?" Dana asked.

"Jordan," Nicole bit her lip as she traced his face. "Jack has gotten me interested in art…I think it's the only subject that doesn't require me to actually think."

"So what do you paint."

"Usually Jordan," Nicole sighed heavily.

Dana flipped her hair off of her shoulders, "You need to get over him."

Nicole stared back at Dana in disbelief, "Are you kidding? I love that boy."

Dana stared back at Nicole in surprise. She flirted so much, that Dana had once thought it was impossible for Nicole to fall in love. "Seriously,"

Nicole nodded, "He's a charmer…and I've fallen for him hook and sinker, I just don't understand why he pushed me away."

"Maybe he's into guys, like Logan." Dana spat out.

Nicole sighed, "No, he likes girls."

Dana reached for some hoop earrings, "You need to get out of the dorm. Put away that gigantic container of ice-cream, put on something foxy for the boys, and join me in Laguna Beach."

Nicole yawned, "Is Jordan going to be there?"

Dana crossed her arms impatiently, "Who!"

"Jordan…beautiful clear blue eyes, long kinda brown hair, cute red cheeks."

Dana pretended to gag, "Kill me now."

Nicole looked down at the sketch and allowed her hair to fall into her face, "I don't want to go to Laguna Beach, I think I'm just going to go for a run around the campus."

"Nicole Bristow is exercising! You hate to run."

Nicole passed Dana a knowing look and then got up to head to her closet. "Although I hate to run it makes me feel better…I think running like releases some chemicals to kick depression."

"Endorphins, I'm surprised you remembered." Dana said in surprise.

Nicole wiped at an imaginary tear. "I was failing science so Jordan helped me study."

Dana sighed, "Maybe you should just talk to him."

"And maybe you should talk to Logan,"

"NO!" Dana yelled and stormed over to Nicole.

Nicole's eyes widened, "Oh, please don't hurt me."

Dana backed down seconds later, "I'm sorry."

Nicole stared back at her in shock. Dana NEVER apologized to her, something was definitely wrong.

Dana pouted as she walked over to her make-up bag. "He's making me crazy."

"Who?" Nicole asked.

Dana wiped at her tears, "And now he's messing up my make-up,"

"What happened between you and Logan, Dana?" Nicole asked cautiously.

Dana sat down on her bed, and pulled on a pair of heels. "How do these look?" She said through a sob.

"Um…great, are you okay?"

"Nicole, I swear if you tell anyone I was crying like this…"

Nicole sighed, "You'll chop me up into a million pieces until my body is unidentifiable."

"I was just going to go for strangle." Dana said wiping away the last of her tears. "Did you two…"

"Did we what?"

Nicole waved it off, she reached for a clip and tied up her hair. "Forget it."

"We slept together," Dana confessed.

"Yesterday was definitely an interesting day," Sawyer said lighting some candles.

They sat out on the beach, looking out at the Pacific as the small waves gently lapped onto the beach.

"I am so glad it's over," Zoey said resting her head on his shoulder.

"Me too, so when do you want to eat?"

"Did you cook for me,"

"I ordered chinese." Sawyer said.

Zoey giggled, "And then brought it in a basket to make it look like you cooked it,"

Sawyer nodded, "Yeah, that isn't a sin is it."

"No," Zoey said kissing him on the cheek. "You know what's funny,"

"What?" He asked resting his head on her shoulder, and then clasping his hands over his stomach.

"The last time I was on this beach…Chase saved my life."

Sawyer slightly raised his head. His blonde hair brushed against Zoey's cheek.

Zoey smiled as she thought about Chase…and how heroic he had been that night. He had been her hero.

"What happened?" Sawyer asked entwining his hands in Zoey's.

Zoey's smile widened as she thought about how Chase had ran after that guy, with full intentions of getting her purse back. After the guy slugged Chase, Zoey remembered resting his head on her lap, and then kissing his forehead.

"Sunshine," Sawyer said.

"Yeah, sweetie?" Zoey asked.

Sawyer chuckled, "We're such dorks,"

"Yeah, but what did you ask me?"

"What happened that night with you and Chase," Sawyer repeated.

"He saved my life,"

Sawyer tilted his head to the side, "Chase?"

Zoey nodded, "Yeah, some crazy guy stole my purse, Chase went after him…"

"Did he get it back?" Sawyer asked.

"No, but…"

Sawyer cupped Zoey's chin in his hand, "I would've gotten it back." He then leaned forward to kiss her.

"He was such a hero though Sawyer,"

"I'm sure he was." Sawyer said. "He's a good friend to you,"

Zoey nodded, and then glanced up at the crescent moon.

"Do you want to eat?"

"Sure, any shrimp fried rice in there?"

Sawyer nodded, "Duh, that's a staple for our chinese orders,"

Zoey giggled, "Okay,"

Sawyer sat up.

"Watch out for your leg," Zoey advised.

"It's fine, I think it's starting to get better,"

Zoey ran her hand along Sawyer's leg, "Hopefully,"

"Yeah, because I want to play soccer this season, so I need my leg to work." Sawyer said with a smile.

"You made the team,"

Sawyer nodded, "I guess Coach took pity on me, with the whole getting hit by a car thing, you should cheer,"

Zoey scowled, "I cheered last year, I don't think I want to anymore."

"You're peppy enough, and definitely beautiful enough," Sawyer said.

"Aww thanks,"

Sawyer nodded, "Chase made the team too,"

Zoey clapped, "Now I can cheer for my two favorite boys,"

"I'm first right?" Sawyer asked.

"You have a slight advantage,"

"I'm your boyfriend." Sawyer complained jokingly.

"And Chase is my BF," Zoey said. Her BF, who turned from just kinda cute, to babe in one night.

"I'm starting at Surf and Tame tomorrow," Sawyer said trying to shift the attention back to him.

"You and Chase," Zoey said.

"Yeah, us both," Sawyer scowled.

"Woah, woah, woah, why have you been holding out on us!" Michael exclaimed.

"What do you mean it just happened."

"How was she?"

"Great, I mean Good…shit, why am I even giving her that much credit." Logan mumbled.

"Shouldn't you be happier? Ever since you laid eyes on Dana you wanted her and now that you guys slept together,"

"It doesn't change anything."

Michael raised an eyebrow, "You'll are the most dysfunctional couple I have met in my life,"

"We were never a couple, and we never will be." Logan said.

Chase turned off the Playstation 2, and then sat down on his bed.

Michael decided to let it go. "Laguna Beach, huh?"

Logan nodded, "Yep, and I'm going to get me a new girl," He then turned away from them and mumbled, "Who loves me back."

Nicole was a slow runner.

She turned up the music on her Ipod as she ran.

No more thinking about Jordan. You're going to think about something more pleasant like the sky…which is so pretty and blue, and oh…it's dark now, but I still want to think about things that are pretty and blue. The pool that I almost drowned in is pretty and blue, the guy that saved me Jordan…has pretty blue eyes. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!

Nicole stopped, and pulled her hair out of her face. She had to find a new crush. She had to stop thinking about Jordan…even though she knew she didn't want too. He was just too cute. Nicole's eyes drifted towards the pool, where someone was taking a swim.

She pulled out her earphones and walked towards the pool.

Jordan tagged the end of the pool, and got ready to start on his second lap back. Before he started on his second lap, he looked up and his eyes connected with Nicole's.

Before he could open his mouth to speak, Nicole took off running once again.

She still felt like a fool for coming on to him, after he had pushed her away.

"Nicole wait!" Jordan yelled.

Nicole turned around as she ran to see Jordan running after her in his swimming trunks.

"A tree!" He yelled.

"Huh?" Nicole turned back around, and ran smack into a tree. Uggh, she fell backwards onto the grass. Ouch, that hurt.

"Are you Dana?" A girl asked.

Dana nodded, "Yeah, where is the party at?"

Some guy turned up his stereo really loud, "The party's right here baby."

Dana stared back at him in distaste. What a loser. Why was he blaring his radio like he was hot stuff, when he was really fugly and looked like he had gotten punched in the face repeatedly. "Can we go," Dana asked flipping her curly brown locks off of her shoulder.

"We're waiting on two more people, doll." He said.

"Don't call me that." Dana snapped.

The guy grinned, "Damn girl, can't a guy joke."

"Hold on, the party is here!" Logan yelled walking towards the car.

Dana's mouth dropped open. "Who the hell invited him."

Logan stared back at Dana in surprise. "Why are you here, I could ask you the same question baby doll."

"Logan, do you want to die!"

"Hey, juniors would you mind keeping the lovers quarrel to a minimum until we get to Laguna?" The girl asked.

"Lovers Quarrel!" Dana and Logan exclaimed.

The girl nodded, "Yeah, because that's obviously what it is, Oh hey there goes Meadow."

Dana rolled her eyes. Another girl she didn't like.

"Hey guys," Meadow said as she walked over in a short skirt.

Dana watched enviously as Logan eyed Meadow's long legs. She wanted to hit him. How dare he check out Meadow when she was standing right there!

Logan glanced at her, "Why are you going to this party, I heard those Laguna Guys are crazy."

"Good, hopefully they're crazy enough to make me forget about you."

"You have a habit of attracting crazy guys Dana."

"Shut the hell up," Dana snapped.

Logan clenched his jaw, "We should talk,"

"There is nothing left to discuss," Dana said. Tears were stinging her eyes, and she wasn't sure why.

Logan let go of her, "Fine,"

"What cologne is that?" Meadow asked placing her hand on Logan's shoulder.

Logan kept his eyes on Dana, "Curve,"

"Mmm…I like," Meadow said.

Logan turned away from Dana, and gave Meadow a cocky smile. "Dance with me tonight, okay."

Meadow nodded, "As long as you're a good dancer,"

Logan cast his eyes back at Dana, "Yeah, I'm good. All the ladies think so."

Dana crossed her arms. That bitch Meadow. She was going to kill her!

"That was great," Zoey said.

Sawyer smiled, "I'll really cook for you when you come over,"

"Huh?"

"I'm going home next week, and I want you to come with me." Sawyer said.

"I don't know…you're mom was at the fashion show and she probably thinks I wore that bikini on purpose."

"I explained to her,"

Zoey pouted, "She was upset wasn't she,"

Sawyer smiled.

Zoey scowled, "If your mom thinks I'm a slut then there's no reason in meeting her."

"No Zo,"

Zoey sighed, "Sorry, I'm still embarrassed about the whole thing."

"Everyone at school knows the type of person you are, and they have to know that the fashion show was a wardrobe malfunction."

Zoey narrowed her eyes, "Like a "Janet Jackson" at the Super Bowl, that doesn't really ease my worries."

"Well, how about this,"

Zoey watched as Sawyer sat up and reached for his guitar.

"I wrote a song for you,"

Zoey rested her face in her hands, "You always do."

"Because you're special to me, and I hate to see you down…" Sawyer massaged Zoey's leg, "And I also hate to see you frown."

Zoey gave him a small smile, "When do you want to leave the beach."

"Whenever you want to,"

"Can we go now, and can you play guitar when we get back to my dorm?"

"Oh, uh…sure,"

Zoey stood up, and then reached out her hands to help up Sawyer, "There's a party in Laguna Beach, Dana's going."

Sawyer nodded, "I'm not really into the scene."

"Me either, instead I would rather watch movies, and eat popcorn inside. Like an old lady."

Sawyer grinned, "An old married lady, guess what."

"What?" Zoey asked as she gathered the blanket, and picnic basket. Sawyer picked up his guitar.

"Remember the psychology experiment that we signed up for a while ago."

Zoey nodded, "Yeah, the family living class thing."

"It's starting up on Monday, partners are going to be assigned and everything."

Zoey smirked, "Wouldn't it be funny if we were together,"

"Yeah," Sawyer said softly.

Zoey used her hand to wrap Sawyer's arm around her. "We're going to be together,"

"How do you know?"

"Wishful hoping," Zoey replied back.

"Hey Mike I'm stepping out for a little," Chase said.

"Where are you going?"

Chase shrugged, "Um…to Zoey's."

Michael nodded, "Okay,"

As Chase opened the door, he was surprised to find Skyler standing there. He raised an eyebrow, "Oh um…Hey,"

"Hey," She said.

"Okay, well see you guys later," Chase stepped out.

Skyler closed the door behind her, and then sat down on Michael's bed.

He pretended to ignore her.

Skyler playfully tickled him.

"Hey stop that now," He joked.

"What if I don't!" She teased getting on top of him and tickling him some more.

"Hey now woman," He said through a fit of laughter.

"I gotcha don't I." She said as she tickled him some more.

Michael playfully tried to fight her off, they both ended up on the floor wrapped in Chase's sheets, because Michael had been sitting on Chase's bed.

Chase came back in the room. "I forgot…woah, if you guys are going to do the um…nasty can you at least do it on your bed or Logan's?"

"It's not what it looks like man," Michael said still laughing.

Chase raised an eyebrow, "Alright kids, just don't have too much fun. See, you guys made me forget what I came in here for."

Skyler pointed to his cologne, "You were on you're way to see Zoey right,"

Chase blushed, "Urr…No,"

Skyler nodded in disbelief. "You're such a bad liar…besides you don't really need the cologne, you look nice."

"You think,"

Skyler nodded, "Yeah, are you still trying to impress her?"

"Subconsciously yes, but impressing her isn't like my first priority."

Skyler playfully pushed Michael away and then stood up, "So then what's your first priority?"

"I have to ask her if she will still let me do a painting of her. I got the assignment a while back, and I've been putting it off."

"Isn't there other girls you could ask?" Michael said.

"I want to paint Zoey, don't get me wrong though I'm over the whole crush thing."

Skyler stared back at him in disbelief.

"Really," Michael asked with a smile.

Chase nodded, "I'm over Zoey."

"See ya Zoey,"

"Bye," She said.

"Bye," Sawyer kissed her on the cheek and then walked towards his dorm slowly.

"Are you straining your leg?" Zoey called after him.

"No, I'm fine, mom, I'm just testing it out…sometimes I can be impatient and I'm ready to get rid of those crutches."

"I can tell," Zoey said.

"Bye Zoey."

"Bye," Zoey closed the door behind her, and then walked towards her bed. She turned on the radio to some slow song, and then reached under her bed for the flyer that someone had posted all over campus this morning.

She bit on her lip as she stared back at it. Tonight when she was with Sawyer all she could think about was this trash. She hated negative spotlight, and now everyone on campus thought she chose to wear that on purpose. Zoey tilted her head to the side, and then stared out the window sadly.

Meadow probably did do this. She hated her. Zoey sighed, and then pushed her hair out of her face. What did that girl want from her.

Zoey reached in her draw, for a candle lighter and then started to burn the flyer.

"I don't know whether I should fight back….and lose, or just let her walk all over me like a punk."

Someone knocked on the door.

Zoey stared down at the burning paper in alarm, and then quickly blew out the small flame which was growing larger. Was she trying to burn down the dorm too?

Zoey crumpled up the paper, and then tossed it aside. She fixed her hair, and then answered the door. Chase stared back at her with a smile.

"Hey you," He said.

"Hey," Zoey said in a small voice.

"Are you okay?" Chase asked.

Zoey nodded, even though she felt like crying.

"I spent the rest of the day taking down the flyers,"

Zoey stared back at him in awe, "Chase…"

He gave her a small smile, "No one rags on you like that."

"Thanks Chase,"

"I knew it would upset you so I…"

Before Chase could finish Zoey pulled him into a hug.

Sawyer had forgotten his guitar in Zoey's room. So he found himself slowly walking back towards her. He was almost positive that his leg would be better soon, As Sawyer opened the door to Zoey's floor the first thing his hazel eyes rested on was Zoey…in Chase's arms.

Sawyer scowled, He opened his mouth to speak but no words came out.

Zoey rested her chin on Chase's shoulder's and Chase rubbed her lower back.

Sawyer was hurt because Zoey was finding comfort in Chase, and not him. He clenched his jaw, and then turned around.

Chase was her friend, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Sawyer pushed open the door, and it closed behind him.

Hey guys…Thanks a lot for the reviews. I am so glad that you'll like Part Two so far. I hope that this is as good as Wake My Dreams, but we'll see…

Thank you's and questions answered.

Melerties- Yeah, I'll expose Jordan soon. It's nothing earth shattering so don't worry, but it could put a hold on Jordan and Nicole's relationship. But no worries…they're made for each other. And sure, I'll add in some more of Jack/Nicole's friendship for ya.

Hopefully- Hey RiCa, small crush on Chase eh…new or old. But no Laguna Beach crossovers…that would be kind of weird for me since Laguna Beach is supposed to be a reality show.

Hersheys Kisses- No they're not over. Far from it…but they will fight bad, and hurt one another so much…because they like each other to much…and dare I say it, but eventually they will do "it" again…lol

Ludaverse- Meadow and Dana will be in a WAR…and you're right Dana ain't like Zoey, so there will be problems.

Midnight Princess15- I love angst, can't you tell. But I'll reveal Jordan's "little" issue soon.

Mrs. Logan Reese- Natalie, hey! Laguna Beach will be trouble, and it's coming next chapter. I made a Part 2 because I wasn't ready to finish it yet, and I didn't want Wake My Dreams to be like 100 chapters. I thought breaking it up would be a better idea.

Classic Rock n Roll Fan- You're hilarious! I'll join you in on the Meadow assault, and she's gonna get meaner if that's possible. P.S. You rule too!

SingMeAnything- Lucky number one! Thanks so much and I only hope one day I will be publishing stories.

Also special thanx to Tinkaroo09, for all the great ideas as always, Loganreeseroxmysox and more, and Kristen…you guys are awesome…And in case you guys are wondering the name of the title is from one of my favorite songs by Joseph Authur.
