WHEN THE PAST COMES BACK


When they got back to the mansion, the gang decided to hang out by the pool. Chase decided not to join his friends because he had a a huge head ache, and Zoey decided to go to email her parents like she always did and decided to join her friends later on. While everyone else was outside having fun, Chase layed in the living room couch and fell in a deep sleep.

Dream

Chase began to dream that he was on a friend's party. He didn't know how or why he has there. He looked down at the outfit he was wearing and saw that he had a black shirt , with a black sweater and black pants. He also was wearing one of his expensive necklaces and a pair of dark sunglasses.

He looked around and saw alot of people doing drugs, and drinking heavily, just like in the parties he used to hang out.

Just then someone tapped his shoulder and he quickly turned around to see an unexpected person standing there.

"L.. Lea?". Chase asked in shock.

"Hi Chase". She replied with a smile.

"Lea!". Chase grabbed her and hugged her tightly.

She hugged him back.

"What are you doing here? Why am I here?". Chase asked.

"Your here and I'm here because everything your looking at right now is what your leaving in the past as for now and the rest of your life. No more inappropriate partying, no more drinking, no more drugs. Your leaving all of this behind, so you can start a new era of a new Chase". Lea explained.

Chase looked around and then back Lea.

"But why are you here? I don't want to forget about you?".

"And I don't want to forget about you Chase, you'll always be here, in my heart. And I know I'll always be in yours. I'm not here because your going to forget me, I'm here for another reason". Lea told him.

"What's the reason?". He asked.

"To get you out of here, for the last and final time, like I always have". She smiled at him.

"Lea? I... I want to apologize for not protecting you back at the beach. I sometimes wish to never had felt you alone that day. Maybe you'll still be here with your mom who needs you". Chase said.

"You have nothing to apologize for Chase. Destiny had it written that I was going to die that day, no matter if you had stayed or left. You don't need to feel guilty of what happen, because it wasn't your fault. I really miss my mom, but I know she's going to be okay, because even though I'm not there with her anymore, I'll always be in her heart and memories". Lea responded.

"Your a great person Lea. Thank you for entering my life. You showed me that in every bad situation, there's always a better solution". Chase said

"Your welcome Chase. Now let's get you out of here, so you can start with your new life. Come on...". Lea said as she grabbed him by his arm.

They walked across the entire house, until they approached a open door that had a blinding light in the middle.

"Lea?...Lea?...". Chase asked scared of what might happen after they entered. They were getting closer to the open door and since Lea wasn't replying back he began to shout.

Lea Wait! Lea!?...

Back to reality

Zoey was sitting next to Chase as he screamed Lea's name, still dreaming.

"Lea! Don't! Lea!". Chase yelled and Zoey shook him a bit harder and that made him wake up. He breathed heavily and sat up to look at Zoey who had a worry face.

"Are you okay Chase?". She asked.

"I'm fine. I guess my dream turned into a nightmare". Chase said as he grabbed his hat and place it on his head.

"You were dreaming about Lea?".

He looked down and sighted.

"Yeah... I was dreaming about her. She kinda was saying goodbye to me. She told me that I was going to have a better life from now on, and that I was going to have the help of my friends and family".

"She's right. You'll always have us".

"I know". Chase sighted once more and decided to change the subject.

"So why aren't you with everyone else?". He asked.

"I was emailing my parents, then I took shower, and completely forgot about the pool party they were having". Zoey explained and he nodded.

They sat in silence for a second until Chase began to speak.

"So, did you guys fixed Dustin's problem?".

"Problem?". Zoey asked confused.

"Yeah, remember that you, Lola, and Michael came here because Dustin had...". Chase started but Zoey interrupted.

"Oh yes, his problem". Zoey chuckled.

"What?". Chase smiled.

"Look Chase, I want us to begin this relationship with the right foot, so I'm going to be honest with you. Dustin didn't had a problem at all. He brought me, Lola and Michael here so we could fix our relationship between you". Zoey confessed.

"Really? Wow I could never had imagined that. We got to give it up to him. I mean, he did accomplished what he had planned. Thanks to him, we're all back together now".

"Yeah, if he hadn't trick us into coming to LA we wouldn't be here right now". Zoey said.

"The bad thing here is that your too easy to trick". He said and Zoey looked at him confused.

"What do you Mean?". Zoey asked.

"Remember back at PCA when I tricked you Into telling me your answers, so we could get paired to go to the school dance?".

"Oh I remember. Then I caught you and Glen confessing to each other how he stole from me and you tricked me. Then I asked you why you went through all that trouble just to take me to a stupid dance and you answer was that you wanted to protect me from jerky guys.

I still don't believe that's the real reason you went through all of that, and now that we're on the subject your going to tell me the real why". Zoey teased.

"I think you may now the real reason by now, but if you still don't know, then here it is. Back then I had a little crush on you and I didn't want anyone to go out with you because I felt jealous". Chase confessed.

"Seriously? Since back then you liked me?".

"Since back then, but let's drop that subject". Chase answered and Zoey agreed.

"So did you know that our friends are planning on getting us back together?". Zoey asked.

"I kinda noticed this morning. They basically told me what their innocent plan was. Thought they didn't mentioned nothing about getting us together, but I can clearly see that they are". Chase said.

"I already told the girls to let us begin this new relationship by our own and they agreed, but they aren't sure about the guys. Maybe you can talk to them".

"Actually... I want to see what they do with us". Chase confessed.

Zoey smiled at him.

"Really?". She asked.

"Yeah. I mean, it's been years since I haven't had someone stress about seeing me happy, in my love life, so let's pretend that we have no idea of what there planing".

"Okay. This is going to be fun". Zoey replied with a smirk.

Just then their friends entered the room and approached them.

"Okay... It's 4:30 and we got to be at Burellies at 6 so why don't we get you two Pretty for tonight". Logan said as he placed his white towel around his neck.

"You want to make us pretty now? There's not going to be enough time then. We should of started to get ready way before". Chase stated.

"Why do you say that?". Logan asked confused.

"Because you take about two hours to get ready. Remember the day we went to celebrate Alan's Birthday? It was already past an hour and you couldn't figure out which underwear to wear". Chase said and everyone started to laugh.

Logan looked, at Chase, not embarrassed but shocked.

"Well... I need to find the perfect underwear for the perfect occasion. Anyways, today we're not going to have that problem because Quinn already picked something up for me". Logan said.

"Now let's get moving people..". Dustin said as he clapped his hands continuously. The girls got Zoey up while the guys got Chase up and took them to their rooms.

Zoeys Room

The girls pushed Zoey inside he room and sat Zoey on her bed. Then, Quinn and Lola rushed to her closet and began to pick the perfect outfit.

"Okay, let's see here". Lola said as she took one of Zoeys outfits out and took a look at it. She disliked something about the outfit she had on hand so she threw it away and began searching for more.

"Girls?". Zoey said, looking at the mess their friends were doing.

"Lola you find a pretty back shirt while I find some jeans to go with it". Quinn told Lola and she nodded as they Continue to make a mess out of Zoeys clothes.

"Hello? Am I invisible or what?". Zoey asked but one again Quinn and Lola were more focused in finding Zoeys. outfit

"Hey!". Zoey yelled and the two girls stopped and looked at her friend who was now standing up.

"Why are you two making such a big deal about the dress? I have a nice yellow dress that I can wear to Chase's party". Zoey said.

"That's nice Zoey, but since we're helping the guys with Chase's birthday Party, we decided that girls are going to wear a pretty black blouse with some jeans". Lola replied.

"But isn't Burellies a fancy restaurant or something?". Zoey asked.

"They have 2 sections. One is for formal people, and the other is for unformal, but we are going to break that rule tonight". Quinn responded.

"Why?". Zoey questioned turning her head sideways.

Conversation in Chase's room

"Because is cool". Logan told Chase who was sitting next to Dustin on his bed.

"I wonder what the manger at Burellies is going to say and do when he sees us". Dustin smirked and looked at Logan.

"But I don't even own a suit". Chase pointed out.

"Don't worry about that. Dustin is going to lent you some fancy clothes". Michael said.

Chase turned to Dustin

"Am I even your size?". Chase asked Dustin.

"I'm pretty sure. We measure some of your clothes with mine and it match perfectly". Dustin said.

"When?". Chase asked.

"When you were at the moor side. Umm... You don't mind right?".

"Not now". Chase replied.

"Okay, okay, let's stop the chatting and let's get to work. Chase, go take a shower while we fix your outfit". Logan ordered as he pulled Chase up from his bed and pushed him towards his bathroom.

"Okay...". Chase said entering the bathroom and closing the door behind him.

When Chase finished showering and came out of the bathroom, he saw that his friends had already left. He went to his bed and saw the outfit he was going to wear. He began to change and when he finished, someone knocked on his door.

"Chase? Are you done?". Michael asked.

"Yeah? Come in". Chase said and Michael open the door, entering with Dustin and Logan who were already dressed up

"Wow, that outfit looks great on you". Logan commented.

"Thank you...". Chase replied as he looked down at himself.

"Okay, now that your all dressed up, let's get started on your hair". Dustin said.

Michael and Logan sat Chase on his bed, while Dustin went to one of Chase's drawers and took out some hair product. He came back to him and opened the bottle and took a hand full of the clear jelly stuff and rubbed it around Chase's hair.

Logan then began to brush Chase's, soft hair back, while Michael applied some of his personal cologne.

They took about 20 minutes to finish preparing Chase. He then, stood up and looked himself at the mirror and was surprised to see the guy in front of him.

"So what do you think?". Michael asked.

"You guys did a great job with me. I'm impressed". Chase replied fixing his suit.

"We're glad you liked it". Logan said.

Michael then got a phone call.

"Hello? Oh hi Lola... Your ready?... Wait Cassidy is down stairs!?. Yeah I'll be there in a minute, okay bye". Michael hung up and turned to see Logan.

"He girls are ready and Cassidy is down stairs. Come with me!". Michael said as he dragged Logan out of the room.

"Well wait for you down stairs!". Logan shouted at the distance.

Dustin turned to see Chase.

"You ready?".

Chase looked at himself once more at his reflection in the mirror and nodded

"Yeah, let's go". Chase responded and both him and Dustin made their way down stairs. As they slowly walked down the stairs, they heard the girls talking in the living room. Dustin looked at Chase who seem a bit nervous. He wrapped his arm around his shoulders and chase turned to see him.

"Everything is going to turn out alright". Dustin assured and Chase game him a small smile and nodded.

When they got down the stairs they entered the living room.

"You girls ready?". Dustin asked, noticing the girls standing, looking at something in Lola's phone. They looked up and smiled.

"Yeah we're...". Lola looked at Chase and was mouth open as well as the rest of the girls.

"Wow...". They all said.

Dustin smiled and fixed his suit

"Yeah yeah, I know... I look hot".

The girls didn't pay any attention to him but to he boy next to him. Dustin then notice what the girls "Wowed" at and nodded

"Of course". Dustin said disappointingly.

"Chase? You look great". Zoey said as she coming closer to him, while Lola and Quinn paced around him checking him out.

"You can't look any more perfect Chase". Lola said.

"Thank you". Chase replied.

Both Quinn and Lola stupidity stared at Chase, making him uncomfortable for a moment. Dustin then snapped his fingers a couple of times.

"Girls?... Girls!?". He asked and both girls snapped out of their little worlds.

"Umm... Yeah... Are we ready to go?". Lola asked.

"We sure are. I think Logan, Michael and his date are waiting for us by the pool". Dustin said as he and the rest followed him outside until they found Logan sitting on a couch, legs crossed.

"Are you all ready?". Logan asked.

They nodded. Then they noticed Michael coming with a pretty girl. Chase immediately recognize her.

"Cassidy?". He asked in disbelief.

"Hey Chase". She came up to him and shared a quick hug.

"I never thought you recognize me? Or even know my name...". She said and Chase looked at her confused.

"Why wouldn't I recognize you? I mean your in the same class as me in college. I see you all the time". He said

"True, but you seem kinda lost most of the time".

"Well I'm trying to find myself... And my friends and family are helping me... big time".

She smiled.

"I see that it's working. Keep up the good work guys, because we don't want that cute smile of yours to disappear again". Cassidy told the gang and Chase.

"I'll try to keep my smile for now on". Chase said with a smile.

Logan stood up from the couch.

"It's getting late, so why don't we start heading to Burellies". Logan asked excitedly and everyone stated cheering. Logan leaded the way out of the mansion. Then they saw a white limo stop in front of them as they began getting on and driving away.

ω

When they got to Burellies, Logan approached the manager.

"Hi? I'm Logan Reese and I had a private reservation for a birthday at 6:00".

The man checked in his book and nodded.

"Yes! Follow me Mr. Reese".

"Come on guys!". Logan yelled and the rest came towards them. The manager looked at Logan and the gang questionably.

"Why is half of your friends dressed in formal clothes and the other informal?". The manager asked.

"Because that's what we agreed on, and anyways isn't this place for both formal and informal people?". Logan asked

"Yes, but...".

"But nothing! I paid for coming here and having a private party, so either you let us in as you see us or give me my money back". Logan confidently said crossing his arms.

The gang all looked at the Manager who sighted.

"Umm... Follow me please...". The manager said and Logan smirked at his friends as they follow him.

They all passed the huge restaurant until the got outside. They all stood there amazed, looking at the beautiful place Logan had reserved.

"Wow!...". They all gasped and Logan shushed the manager away.

"There's two waiters for you Mr. Reese, if you ever need anything". The man said and left.

Chase went up to Logan.

"Logan you didn't had to do all of this just because it's my birthday".

"Don't worry Chase, I just want this birthday party to be a one to remember". Logan patted him in the back and turned to see their friends.

"Everyone! Lets have a seat shall we?". He asked and they all happily nodded. As they all started to move, Michael stopped them.

"Wait! Chase? Zoey? He have a special place for you two".

Zoey looked at Chase and he discreetly smile a little and gave her a look of "Let's play their little game".

"Really? Where?". Zoey asked.

"Follow me...". Michael invited and Zoey started to follow him. Chase who was next to Logan, whispered something to him, just to keep their game going.

"I thought you weren't going to leave me alone with Zoey?". Chase asked acting a bit nervous.

"Yeah, I lie". Logan smiled.

"Chase? Are you coming?". Zoey yelled at the Distance.

"Yeah...". Chase said as he gave Logan an annoyed look and followed Michael and Zoey.

"This plan is totally going to work". Logan said proudly and sat with the rest of his friends.

Meanwhile, Chase caught up with Zoey. They were a couple of feet away from Michael, so they began to talk in whispers.

"How can't they see how obvious they are?". Chase said.

"I know right? Why did we think that they would stay out of us restarting our relationship by ourselves". Zoey smiled.

"Yeah, well we should of thought better". Chase replied and Zoey nodded in agreement.

They walked and walked until they stopped and admire the beauty that awaited them.

"Here we are". Michael announced.

"Michael? This is beautiful". Zoey said shocked.

"Come here". Michael scooted the chair back and Zoey rushed over there and sat down. He went to the other one and did the same thing.

"Birthday boy! Come on, sit". Michael told Chase as he made his way up to them and sat in font of Zoey.

"There. If you need us we'll be over there okay?". Michael asked and both, Chase and Zoey nodded. He gave both of them a wide grin and left off running.

Zoey and Chase looked at each other and laughed Quietly.

"They are trying really hard aren't they?". Zoey asked.

"Yep, we gotta love our friends".

Just then the waiter came to their table and and placed a covered dish in the middle. He also brought one of the best wines and placed it on a bucked of Ice.

"Thank you". Both Zoey and Chase thanked the waiter as he left them alone.

Chase uncovered they dish and was surprised to see what was inside.

"California Rolls?". They both asked.

Zoey leaned back in her chair and smirked.

"What could this possibly remind us of". Zoey asked Chase.

°°°°°°°°°Flashback°°°°°°°°°°°

Zoey was on her bed writing her letter for her physiology project. When she heard a knock on her door and Chase entered.

"Two spicy California rolls for one spicy Zoey Brooks". Chase announced in a weird Voice.

Zoey smiled.

"Just set the Sushi on the table". She told him and continue writing. Chase did as he was told and seeing that Zoey had forgotten something he clapped his hands together and cleared his throat. Zoey looked up at him and and leaned to his drawer. She took some money out and handed it to Chase.

"Here".

"Thank you". Chase said grabbing the money.

"So...What are you doing? French homework?

"Nah, physiology". Zoey smiled, Looking up at him.

"Ah... Writing your little secret aren't ya". Chase smiled back and crossed his arms.

"Maybe...". Zoey teased.

She continued writing and Chase leaned a little to see what she was writing but she placed her notebook close to her.

"Excuse me...". Zoey said

"I want to see". Chase replied sitting in her bed.

"It's a Secret".

"Come on, I thought we were close friends? You know tight like road dogs".

"You really want to read my secret?" Zoey asked.

Chase made a puppy face and nodded.

Zoey then wrote something on her notebook and snatched the page out. She folded it a couple of times.

"Here? Read it". Zoey handed him the page and Chase began to unfold it, but Zoey stopped him.

"Not in here, read it on the hall". Zoey suggested

"Alright". Chase nodded and headed out, with Zoey showing a grin behind him. He unfolded the paper and read...

"I'm not telling you my secret...". Zoey smiled and closed the door.

"Are you kidding me...". Chase turned and asked but she had already closed the door.

He turned back around and sighted.

"I feel duped". Chase told himself and left".

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°Flashback End°°°°°°°°°°°°
"Right? That moment... How could I forget". Chase looked down and smiled.

"You wanted to Know my secret, and you did found out later on what it was, but as for your little secret, I had to find out through your Webcam, when we were miles away from each other".

"Well, something's were said, which I regret deeply...". Chase told her and Zoey looked hurt.

"You regret what you said". She asked him. He immediately knew the misunderstanding he had created.

"No, no ,no. I'm talking about the things I said That made you leave to England. What you heard in the Webcam incident, that I meant it all, and have no regrets". Chase explained quickly and saw her face lightened up.

He grabbed some sushi and placed it on his plate.

"Want me to serve you some sushi?". He asked.

"Please". Zoey replied and he placed about 5 rolls on her plate.

"Thanks". She told him and he nodded graving his sushi and taking a bite of it.

"Want some wine?". She asked him and he quickly swallowed his food.

"Umm... no I don't think that's a great idea, since I'm still working in my alcohol addiction". Chase said bit nervous. He was craving it for so long, but he promised himself and his family that he wasn't going to drink anymore.

"Right". Zoey said feeling a little stupid.

"Waiter!". She called.

The waiter came up to her.

"Yes ma'am".

"Can you take the wine and bring us a jar of fresh lemonade". Zoey asked and the waiter nodded taking with him the bottle of wine.

"Zoey I don't want to ruin the dinner for you, if you want wine then you can have some, I just said no because of the problem I have".

"Don't worry Chase, I don't like wine either". Zoey said.

A couple of minutes later the waiter came back with the jar of lemonade. He poured some into their glasses as the two of them began to talk about their past memories. Between laughs and smiles both of them felt like if they where back at PCA, sitting in the lounge and having a good time. The evening flew fast and their friends came back to check on them.

"Hey guys!". they all greeted as they approached their table.

"Hey". Both Zoey and Chase replied.

"Having a good time?". Dustin asked.

"We are". Chase replied.

"Good cause it's time for duet Karaoke! Is the sound ready?". Logan asked a DJ who thumbed his thumb up.

"What do mean by duet Karaoke?". Zoey asked.

"That means that were going to be singing in partner's". Lola explained as she made Zoey stand up.

"And you and Chase are up first". Michael pulled Chase out of his seat.

"Here". Dustin gave them both a microphone.

"But want song are we supposed to sing?". Chase asked.

"Well 2 little bird told me that you both used to listen to One Direction". Logan said and Zoey turned to see Lola and Chase turned to see Michael, who mouthed "Sorry".

"Ready DJ? Play it!". Logan shouted and the song started playing.

Chase began to sing.

"Going out tonight
Changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Everything she never had she's showing off".

Chase stopped and looked at Zoey.

"Driving too fast
Moon is breaking through his hair
He said it was something that he won't forget
Having no regrets is all that he really wants".

Zoey then let Chase sing the chorus by himself

"We're only getting older baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of, Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you".

Chase let Zoey sing the next part.

"Chasing it tonight,
Doubts are running 'round his head
He's waiting, hides behind a cigarette
Heart is beating loud, he doesn't want it to stop".

Zoey looked at Chase as he sang the next verse.

"Moving too fast
Moon is lighting up her skin
She's falling, doesn't even know it yet
Having no regrets is all that she really wants".

Chase looked back at Zoey as they both began to sing the chorus.

"We're only getting older baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you".

They both stop as the instrumental of the song continues. Then as the it finishes Chase began to sing again.

"Going out tonight
Changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress, Reminds her of a missing piece of innocence she lost".

Both Zoey and Chase start singing the last chorus.

"We're only getting older baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change, baby
It will never change, baby
It will never change me and you".

Zoey grabbed his hand and both of them looked directly into each others eyes.

Their friends clapped and cheerer them on.

"Excellent! Great job Zoey and Chase!". Logan clapped.

"Thanks! so who's next?". Zoey asked.

"Actually, it's 10:30 and we're feeling really sleepy, so were heading back to the mansion". Logan said.

"But you said it was Karaoke time, I thought you guys were going to participate too". Chase asked him and Logan shrugged.

"After you and Zoeys performance, there's no way we could bet that, so you two win. Congratulations!". Quinn said as she started following the rest.

"Are they serious! What kind of birthday party Is this? Chase asked more to himself than to Zoey

Both of them gave their microphones back to the DJ and began to walk towards his friends
