Chapter 11- This Love

Sawyer looked around the empty surf shop. Boyd was still in the back playing games on his PSP, and Meadow and Chase had been gone for a while. Sawyer leaned against the counter and then pulled his cell out of his shorts. Before he could dial in the number to The Fritz, a nice restaurant not to far from the PCA campus, Logan called him.

Sawyer glanced around for Boyd once again and then flipped his phone open, "Hey Lo,"

"What's up,"

"I'm at work, didn't you know?"

"Yeah, I knew. But I need your help really quick."

Sawyer walked from behind the desk and then walked towards a surfboard that caught his eye. "What do you need help with?"

"I'm taking Dana shopping for a party tonight, and I might have to use my cousin's wheels."

Sawyer smiled as a customer stepped in. "I have to get ready to go."

"I'm going to borrow his car,"

"Wait, what?"

"I think Dana is attracted to him, and I don't want Dakota anywhere near her."

As Logan rambled on, the young woman that had just stepped in tapped Sawyer's shoulder. "I'm looking for body suits," She said.

Sawyer nodded, "One second ma'am."

"All Dakota can do is report his car missing." Logan replied.

"Logan, that's a stupid idea."

"Uggh…I didn't expect you to understand. After all you, Zoey, and Chase are all living in perfect harmony, but I refuse to share Dana with another guy."

Sawyer glanced over at the woman once again who was growing impatient. "Bad idea, but I have to go."

Without saying goodbye Logan clicked off.

Sawyer shrugged and then tossed his phone back in his pocket. "Sorry about that…body suits are over here."

What's so special about him anyways? Nothing really except for his smile, and those eyes…Dana! You have to stop this, it hasn't even been a month yet since Charlie died, and you're thinking about moving on. Anyways why would you want to be with Logan? Why would you even entertain the thought. He could never love you more than himself. Logan is a stuck up, ugly, little cocky bastard that deserves to be thrown off of a cliff, and then dragged out into the Pacific to be picked apart by sharks. Whoo, now that I got that out of my system, I feel so much better. Maybe I don't love Logan, thinking a guy is cute is one thing, but loving him is something else…but then again I slept with him. That's got to mean something because I'm not easy like that girl Meadow…excuse me MeadHo, speaking of her, she better not flirt with Logan again or I will scalp her, and then knock her teeth down her throat with my fist. Violent I know, but I don't play around when it comes to ho's flirting with MY Logan. Uggh, why am I calling him mine?

Dana closed her journal covered with pictures of her friends back home in New York City, and random words that described her character. She tucked the journal into her desk, and then looked around the room. Zoey and Nicole were gone, it seemed as if she had spent so much time with Logan lately that she never had time for her other friends…including Skyler, who she missed.

Dana stood up, and then walked over to Nicole's new full length mirror. She had to admit that she was looking foxy. Dana pulled her curly caramel locks with blonde streaks off of her tanned shoulders, and then smoothed down her white tank top and long flowing orange skirt with a black belt.

There was a knock at the door.

"I hope you're dressed!" Logan yelled.

Dana fluffed her hair once more, and then walked towards the door. She opened the door for Logan who was dressed in a casual dark brown and orange button down shirt, and khaki shorts. He pulled down his sunglasses and surveyed Dana. "Smokin,"

Dana rolled her eyes, "Let's just go," She closed the door behind her and then pushed Logan out of her way.

"Watch the shirt,"

"It doesn't look like silk to me," Dana retorted.

"I never said it was baby doll, I know my fabrics,"

Dana sighed, "Are we going to argue the rest of the day?"

"It's up to you,"

"Well if you pick and choose your battles then you won't have to. Just don't try going up against me Logan because I'm going to win."

Logan chuckled, "In your dreams. Anyways we have to stop by my cousin's dorm quickly to steal the keys to his Mustang."

Dana grabbed onto Logan's arm, "You can't drive."

"I have my permit, and next week I'm going to get my license, so I think I can drive good enough."

Dana raised an eyebrow, "You're cousin is letting you borrow his Mustang?"

Logan shook his head, "No,"

"So you're just going to take it? All my thoughts about you are right, you're an idiot Reese, how can you just take someone's car…"

"Cruz, do you want to take a taxi to Rodeo Drive?"

Dana scowled, "No, that lessens the point of going to Rodeo drive, if I am going to be shopping amongst Mary-Kate and Ashley, and Evangeline Lilly then I need to show up in a Mustang."

"Aww Dana needs to feel important." Logan said with a laugh.

Dana raised her chin, "I don't need to feel important, because I already am."

"Oh excuse me princess," Logan teased.

Dana pushed him once again. "Just tell me how you plan on stealing Dakota's car without him noticing."

"Well I heard he had company so I am just going to barge in, and act like I left my book over there, and then take the keys."

"What kind of company does your cute cousin have?"

Logan scowled at Dana's obvious attempt to make him jealous. "He has some girl in there."

"Is her name MeadHo?"

Logan smirked, "Meadow wasn't anywhere around this morning."

"Good, I guess she doesn't want to get beat in the face. I hate that girl,"

"I think she's hot." Logan smirked.

Dana wanted to smack Logan, but instead she waved at a jock walking by.

"Looking good Dana," He said.

"Right back at ya, Billy."

Logan frowned, "Billy, who the hell is that!"

"A hot lacrosse player, now let's go get Dakota's car." Dana said dragging Logan down the hall.

"I don't understand why Tabby and Tamulthus won't eat the special dog food I engineered from cabbage, steak, and beef jerky!" Quinn exclaimed. She crossed her arms, and then stared at her rats angrily. "I put the doggie leash on them…if they bark, and behave with the mannerisms of a dog then I don't understand why…"

Jack smiled, "Quinn, you have been working on your experiment 24/7,"

Quinn pushed her glasses up, "I know, but it's just so frustrating, I thought I came up with a new invention, but it's so flawed."

"Why have you been testing out a lot of inventions lately?" Jack asked.

Quinn thought it over, she sat down on the bed next to Jack. "We're going to be seniors next year…you know that, and then after that is college."

Jack nodded, "How could I forget, my dad calls me only to tell me that I need to keep up my A average, it's never how are you doing Jack? I missed you Jack. Still thinking about you Jack."

Quinn pouted, "You don't need him, because you got me."

Jack smiled, "You and Nicole,"

Quinn reached for her remote and turned to the Discovery channel. "You haven't really hanged out with Nicole lately because she's been with Jordan correct."

Jack nodded, "Yeah, but we're still good friends. She saved my life,"

Quinn chuckled, "Which is so funny, because I heard her boyfriend Jordan is always saving her life!"

Jack raised an eyebrow, "Are they dating?"

Quinn shrugged, "Who can keep up with the sorted and twisted chains of PCA's troubled triangles and affairs. I honestly can't tell you if they're dating, and the same goes with Logan and Dana…and don't even get me started on Zoey, Sawyer, and Chase, I never knew who she was dating."

Jack smiled, "It is all pretty crazy."

Quinn curled up next to Jack. "Want some baby food?"

Jack smiled, "Our little dirty secret."

Quinn nodded, "Yeah, I went to the store and I got us some mashed peas and carrots, baby applesauce, and our favorite lima beans and string beans! Now what do you want to snack on cupcake."

Jack grinned, "Of course our favorite,"

Jack reached for the remote and then flipped to a golf game.

"I need to do a new experiment, and I need to use people." Quinn said handing Jack a container of baby food, and a plastic spoon.

Jack grinned, "People are scared of participating in your experiments."

Quinn flopped back down next to Jack, "I've noticed…I want to do a love experiment."

Jack smiled, "Oh la la,"

Quinn kissed him on the cheek, "Oh la la is right, and the only thing I have to do now is plan the whole damn thing. Like what will the love experiment deal with, and what lucky triangle or twosome will be my targets?"

"You're playing tennis with me today." Skyler said leaning against Michael's door.

"Aww man," Michael said pulling his covers over his eyes.

Skyler clapped her hands loudly, "Michael, it's one o' clock!"

"In the morning!" Michael exclaimed.

"No milk dud head! It's one o' clock in the afternoon." Skyler walked over to Michael's bed, and then pulled down the covers. He had a goofy smile on his face, and his eyes were closed.

"Eww, what are you dreaming about?" Skyler said playfully hitting his head.

Michael opened his eyes, "Halle Berry running down the beach in a sexay two piece and Beyonce ba-bouncing right next to her…oh and don't let me forget they are running towards me."

Skyler laughed, "You and you're odd fantasies."

Michael forced himself up, "When did you leave this morning."

"After Dana and Logan woke me up."

Michael got up himself, "Tennis huh?"

Skyler nodded, "And then afterwards I'll take you to my secret place where I go to dance."

Michael liked the sound of that. "Secret place huh?"

Skyler nodded, "Now hurry up, we have some tennis to get to boy!"

"Hi, is this The Fritz?" Sawyer asked leaning against the counter.

"Yes it is, are you calling to make reservations?"

"Yes I am, I would like to make the reservations under Thomas, Sawyer Thomas."

"Okay, and for what time sir?"

"8 o' clock tonight," Sawyer answered.

"How many guests?"

"Just two." Sawyer responded. A smile crept across his face. Just me and Zoey.

"Okay, well Mr. Sawyer Thomas I have your reservations for two, tonight at eight o' clock."

"Thank you," Sawyer said clicking off.

Boyd stepped out of the back. "Slow day huh?"

Sawyer nodded, "In here it is, but it's pretty busy on the beach."

Boyd looked down at his watch, "High tide is about to come in…and the waves are looking pretty fierce, do you surf?"

Sawyer nodded, "Yeah, next to playing the guitar, surfing is my calling."

Boyd chuckled, "I gotta see you tear up the waves some day."

"Soon," Sawyer said looking out towards the ocean. "Woah, those are some big waves."

Boyd looked out, "Yeah, most people start coming in closer to shore by now."

How dare she kiss Chase! I'm sure she attacked him, she had too. I know Chase, and I know that he would never kiss Meadow. She's mean, and evil, and Chase doesn't like girls like that.

Zoey walked over to Chase and Meadow. She scowled, Meadow's tongue was practically down his throat, and she was holding him close to her, obviously by force. Zoey raised an eyebrow, She wasn't surprised that a girl as evil as Meadow had so much strength.

"Hey Chase!" Zoey said cheerfully.

Chase finally managed to push Meadow away, hearing Zoey's voice was the extra boost he needed.

"Zoey, this isn't what it looks like…" Chase stammered.

Zoey placed her hand over her eyes, blinding the sun. "It's okay, I know."

"Hey blondie." Meadow said.

Zoey ignored Meadow. "Aren't you working?"

Chase moved away from Meadow, "I was until I was attacked."

Zoey smiled, "I've noticed."

"He liked it. Chase has never kissed a real girl before." Meadow shouted.

Zoey gave Meadow her complete attention for the first time, "You forced yourself onto him, c'mon have a little more respect for yourself…because in my book that's just pathetic."

"Excuse me bit…" Meadow started.

Before she could finish a little kid came running around her.

Meadow snarled at the little kid, "Get away from me you little brat."

Chase and Zoey watched as an assault of seagulls followed after the kid.

Chase pulled Zoey back, "Woah do you see that?"

Zoey's eyes widened, "What the…"

The kid held a hot dog in his hand, "Come and get it birdies!" He yelled.

Meadow let out a scream. "You little idiot, don't you dare!"

The little kid threw the hot dog at Meadow's feet, and then ran off clapping his hands.

The seagulls flocked towards the hot dog.

Chase and Zoey fell down as the birds started to flock around them and Meadow.

Meadow screamed, "Eww! Get away from me you filthy birds! Ahh!"

Chase stood up, he reached for Zoey's hand.

They were both laughing.

Chase waved his hands wildly around as the birds tried to get to the hot dog. He helped Zoey up, and then started to run.

Zoey grabbed onto his hand tighter as they ran down the beach.

"That kid through the hot dog right at her feet!" Chase laughed.

Zoey tried not to laugh, but she couldn't help it. She reached out for Chase's shoulder, and then rested her cheek against him as she laughed uncontrollably.

Meadow was swatting at the birds and screaming hysterically.

More and more were coming.

They were quacking loudly as they swooped in for the hot dog and Meadow in the process. Meadow screamed, and yelled an assault of obscenities as the birds started to pull at her hair, and at her skin. And more came swooping down, and crapping all over the place in the process.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed.

Zoey bit her lip, "I feel kind of bad now,"

"I think she's had enough torture, I'm going to get that hot dog and throw it in the ocean." Chase said good naturedly.

Zoey tugged onto Chase's sleeve, "No, not to sound mean or anything but she deserves this."

Chase turned towards Zoey, "I guess you're right."

"If it was life or death, then I would save her, but the seagulls are just playing around."

Chase laughed. "Yeah, they just wanted that hot dog."

Zoey playfully hit him. "I still can't believe that kid threw the hot dog right at her!"

Jordan looked around in concern. He scanned the beach for Nicole but he didn't see her anymore. Jordan stood up, he brought the binoculars that were around his neck up to his eyes. He then searched the enormous waves that were coming in with high tide.

Jordan clenched his jaw. He pulled down the binoculars, and then looked around the beach again for Nicole. He didn't see her, but he did see Chase and Zoey.

Jordan ran down towards them.

"Hey Jordan," Zoey said cheerfully.

"Hey, have you seen Nicole?" Jordan asked worried.

Zoey looked around concerned. "Now that I think about it…no I haven't seen her."

Chase looked around the beach, "You know how accident prone Nicole is, let's find her and make sure she's okay."

Jordan nodded, "Yeah, I'm worried about her."

"We'll split up," Zoey said.

Jordan stared out towards the ocean once again. Virtually no one was in to deep, not even the surfers. He bit his lip, the last time he had seen Nicole she had went out swimming. His eyebrows furrowed low over his eyes.

"Help!"

Jordan, Zoey and Chase turned towards the scream for help.

Zoey placed her hand to her mouth, "Oh migod, that sounded like Nicole!" She placed her hand on Chase's arm, as she looked around the turbulent waters for Nicole. "I don't see her! But I swear I heard her say…"

"Help!"

The scream was one of desperation, of a person on there last hope.

"It sounds like she's being dragged out, but I can't see her!" Jordan ran towards his stand. As he grabbed his lifesaver, he looked out towards the water once again. "Nicole, how do you always get yourselves in these situations."

Jordan sprinted towards the ocean. He did a pan around the crashing surf, and then held his hands out to his mouth.

"Nicole, if you can here me scream!" Jordan yelled.

A wave crashed into his stomach, Jordan was thrown back a little.

He didn't know where she was! Jordan swam out anyways, waves crashed onto him, bringing him down, but he was a skilled swimmer so her surfaced.

His eyes were filled with saltwater, and as he swam outwards he felt the tide dragging him deeper and deeper. He was going to save Nicole. Jordan knew she was somewhere out there.

"Nic…" Before he could finish a wave towered over him.

Jordan dived down into the wave as it crashed down. He surfaced wiping the water out of his eyes. "Nicole!"

She was being dragged down. Nicole struggled to swim back up to the surface, but she felt as if she was stuck in a washing machine. She flailed her arms around wildly in the water. Her breath was starting to escape her body, and her vision was starting to grow black. Nicole clutched out for her throat as she tried to hold on a little longer. She felt herself sinking…deeper and deeper.

Nicole closed her eyes, and her last air bubbles floated from her mouth.

The ocean grew more treacherous as the waves swept in with rapid speed.

She was dying…every breath she had was gone. Nicole weakly opened her eyes as she started to choke on the sea water. Someone was swimming above her…she could see legs.

Nicole opened her mouth to call out, but her attempts were futile. She only managed to choke on more sea water, and sink down further. She was going to die, because she couldn't scream out for help. She's being dragged down, and no one, not even Jordan could save her. Nicole's head fell backwards lifelessly as she felt her conciseness drifting away, and her carefree, spunky spirit being taken from her body. Her hand dropped from her neck, and she drifted off into a deep sleep…….
