When The Past Comes Back
It was a long flight back to Washington. Lola was sitting on the aisle, reading a teen magazine. Michael was sitting on the middle sleeping, what he always does when he gets on planes, and Zoey was at the window with her earphones on, listening to music. Michael began to accommodate himself and his head began to fall on Zoey's Shoulder. She looked over at him and saw that he was about to drool on her.
"Michael!?".
He, startled woke up and wiped his drool off his side of his mouth.
"Sorry Zoe". Michael apologize and began moving his head to Lola's Shoulder, but she stopped him.
"No, no ,no. We've try this before and you drooled all over me. You know you can adjust your seat back, right?". Lola told him.
"You can do that? I thought only cars did that". Michael smiled and did what Lola had told him. Both girls looked at each other and smiled. Zoey looked over at her window and smiled a little as she remembered Chase's proposal. That moment kept repeating, and repeating in her mind which made her look forward to that day, where she'll be dressed in white, walking down the aisle looking at Chase, who would shyly look up and smile at her as she came towards him.
"Zoey?". Lola snapped her out of her daydreaming and she turned to look at her.
"We're here. Time to go home".
Zoey gave her a small smile as she stood up grabbing her suitcases and exiting the gate. While walking out of the gate, Michael and Lola turned to see her.
"Come on Zo? Cheer up". Lola told her.
"Yeah. Six months will pass very fast and soon you and Chase would be back together". Michael assured her.
"I guess your right". Zoey said unsure. She had many thoughts in her mind, like What if he finds another girl, or What if after six months, he's not in love with her anymore. She wanted to brush the bad thoughts out of her mind, but she just couldn't.
As she thought about that, all of them walked into the waiting room. Both Lola and Michael we're walking in front of Zoey. Lola who was smiling at something Michael had said, raised her sight up and stopped, placing a hand on Michael's chest.
"What?". Michael asked confused.
"Look over there!". Lola pointed and Michael gasped. Zoey who was a little behind bumped into her friends.
"Ow!?... Guys? Let's get moving".
"You lead us Zoey". Lola told her as both her and Michael stepped to the side.
"You guys are acting weird again". Zoey said as she began walking forward, looking at her phone.
Lola and Michael looked at each other, rolling their eyes.
"Zoey!? Look! Aren't those balloons beautiful!". Lola said in awe.
Zoey raised her head up and she stood there stunned. She closed her eyes and shook her head. She reopened her eyes trying to readjust her sight back. Lola placed a hand on her shoulder, still looking forward.
"Your not dreaming Zo, this is real". Lola whispered.
Zoey smiled and rushed towards them.
"Chase!?". Zoey yelled as she collided in a hug with Chase, who was hiding some roses behind his back. Quinn and Logan we're beside him. Quinn was holding some Heart shape balloons and Logan had a big Teddy bear at his side. He didn't had time to give the roses to any of his friends, Zoey just collided with him wrapping her arms around his neck, smelling his soft men cologne.
Lola and Michael came running behind Zoey.
"What are you guys doing here?". Lola asked surprised.
"We just left the mansion a couple of hours ago, and now we got off the plane, here in Washington to find you here also? What's going on!?". Michael asked with a smile.
Zoey separated from Chase and gave him a suspicious look.
"Yeah... What are you doing here? I thought you...". Zoey began but Logan interrupted.
"Whoa, hold on a sec. You guys are throwing all this questions at Chase, but I'm sure if you guys shut up for a sec, he'll tell you the whole story of how we got here. Right Chase?". Logan said and Chase nodded giving Zoey the flowers.
"Okay, so here's what happen...". Chase said as he began retelling the situation that happen after they left to the airport.
Flashback...
They had left the mansion and Logan layed a hand on Chase's shoulder as they saw the limo disappear into the night.
"Come on Chase? You'll soon be with Zoey again. Very, very very soon". Logan assured.
"You got that right". Chase said with a smirk. He turned around and high five Ron and hugged Alan.
"Seems like your plan went just fine". Alan told him and Chase nodded.
"I know! Great job guys! Now for part 2 of my plan". Chase said.
Quinn and Logan turned to see each other and then back at Chase.
"Wait!? So this was just a plan!". Logan asked surprised.
"It sure was". Chase told him.
Quinn who stood there thinking gasped as she realized what Chase had done.
"Yeah, like some kind of revenge towards Zoey? Is that what this is Chase?". Quinn asked annoyingly at Chase who open his mouth to speak but Quinn didn't give him a chance.
"Are you trying to get back at Zoey for what she did to you? When she cheated on you with Brian?". Quinn said getting pissed off at Chase. She walked towards him and began pushing him back, hitting him on the chest.
"Quinn? Listen to me, this is...". Chase held both her hands as he tried to explain.
"There's no explanation for what your doing! Ron? Alan? How can you help this insensitive jerk!". Quinn yelled as he looked at Chase and then at Ron and Alan.
Back to present time...
"At first we thought Chase and Quinn we're going to lose it, but Chase said next made us think otherwise". Logan explained.
Back to the Flashback...
Chase left go of Quinn and stepped back.
"Wait a minute! You two think that all of this... The confession of me and Zoey giving us another chance and the engagement was just some kind of revenge? Wow! Now I see how you guys don't know me at all!". Chase told them a bit angry.
Quinn who was more calmed down, looked at him, her eyes softening.
"Chase...". Quinn began but Chase interrupted.
"I can't plan something special, without you guys thinking I'm planning some kind of revenge for something that happened years ago. I guess my treatment at the Moore Side, was a waste of time, since you think I'm still an insensitive jerk".
"Chase? I didn't mean it like that, really? It was the way you said it that made me think of that... I'm so sorry for doubting you". Quinn apologized.
Chase sighted. He gave her a small smile as he stretched out his arms. Quinn smiled and rushed to him colliding into a hug with Chase.
"I'm sorry for not trusting you".
"Im not even surprised. It always happens. But hey? Thanks for bringing up Zoey's cheating with Brian". Chase sarcastically told her as they separated.
"Sorry". Quinn apologized.
"So? Tell us? What did you mean by plan part 2?". Logan asked.
Chase smirked as he began to speak.
"Zoey thinks she has to wait six months for us to be together right?".
"Yeah?". Logan and Quinn told them.
"Well? She doesn't have to wait that long. I'm leaving to Washington!". Chase told them.
"Your leaving!". Logan asked shocked.
"Brilliant! What a great way to surprise Zoey!". Quinn added.
"That's why got here late. I was finishing transferring my school stuff to Washington university". Chase said.
"So your just leaving us here? It never crossed your mind that we might want to come with you?". Logan told him annoyed.
"I actually did think about it. Which reminds me of giving you this back". Chase said as he took his wallet out and gave them their licenses back.
"I have your birth certificate's in my car".
"Your insane!". Logan hugged him tightly.
"So that's it then? We leave with no plan?". Quinn asked.
"We don't need a plan baby! Money can solve any problem you got and lucky for us, we have that". Logan said as he picked her up and swirled her around.
"Okay, okay, but what about Alan". She asked and all three of them turned to see Alan.
"Don't worry about me. I already talked it with Chase and I'm totally fine with you guys leaving. Im also leaving tomorrow. To Australia. I'm going to be staying there for two years due to work, so it was nice of Chase thinking in moving to Washington with you all". Alan confessed.
"Awe! Alan!?". Quinn said as she ran towards him and hugged him tightly.
"There's no need to be sad Quinn. I'm going to be fine". Alan smiled as he rubbed her back. Quinn separated from him and gave him a kiss on his hand. Alan then turned to see Logan.
"Logan?". Alan motioned him to come over. Logan pointed at himself and Alan nodded. He quickly made his way to him. Alan took a piece of paper out of his back pocked and handed it to him.
"Can I trust you with this?". Alan asked and Logan turned to see the check and the amount. He gasped and nodded.
"Yes! Yes you can! Absolutely I'll take care of this grandpa".
"Okay? I think we should get going". Chase said and Everyone nodded.
"Is everything ready? I mean our clothes and personal stuff?". Quinn asked.
"Yeah? You just get on the jet. I've already taken care of all of that". Chase assured her.
Logan and Quinn gave Alan and Ron a hug and then made their way to the jet, while Chase stood behind, sadness showing on his face as he looked down.
"I know it's hard for you to leave". Alan told him laying a hand on his shoulder.
"Does it really show?". Chase sighted
"Well, when Logan and Quinn we're here, you seem excited, but I can see that this was a hard decision for you to make. But hey! Is either Being miserable here without Zoey or being happy with your future wife".
"Your right Thanks for everything". Chase said as she turned around to see him.
"Your welcome son". Alan replied as he pulled him into a hug. "Be happy make Zoey happy and invite me to your wedding, that's all I ask". Alan told him with a smile.
"I will... Grandpa". Chase smiled and Alan began to get his tears that he'd been holding in, fall off his face.
"Okay?". Alan said wiping his tears off. "You get on the yet with Logan and Quinn, while I get your car on the other plane".
"Wait!? Are you seriously letting me take my car to Washington?". Chase asked surprised.
"Of course I am. You worked too hard to buy this car, so it's best if you take it with you too".
Chase gave him a smile.
"Go get set on the jet. I'll park your car on the other plane and then ill meet you there to sat goodbye". Alan said.
"Okay. And again thank so so much for all the things you've done for me". Chase said as he made his way to the yet.
-Back to really-
"Oh my god! I'm getting so emotional". Lola said as she sobbed.
"So yeah? It was an unusual quiet flight, but we knew it was for a good reason". Quinn said.
The gang were now sitting down on the waiting room seats. Quinn was sitting next to Logan, who had their hands intertwined together, Lola was next to them, Zoey and Chase were next to her, sitting in the middle also holding their hands, while Michael stood behind them.
"I still can't believe you went through all that trouble just to be with me". Zoey told Chase.
"I wasn't going to let the England incident repeat again". Chase said as he squeezed her hand gently.
"So?". Lola began.
"Are you going to tell us the whole story? How you guys got to the airport? And also about the Teddy bear, the balloons and the roses?".
Chase, Logan and Quinn turned to see each other.
"That's actually... A really interesting story". Quinn said with a smile as she turned to see Logan
"Okay,... Let's see". Logan ran a hand through his hair. "So... Chase was driving, with me and Quinn at the back...". Logan began to tell.
Flashback
Chase was driving on the highway as he talked with Quinn and Logan.
"Wow! How great is this! Driving in a totally different state, living the crazy life!... Wooooooo!". Logan cheered as he jumped up and down his seat. Chase who looked between annoyed and tired looked at him by his rear mirror. Quinn also was very tired and had a headache.
"Logan? We're just on a busy highway, trying to surprise Zoey". Quinn told him.
Logan sank on his seat.
"Well thanks for running the moment".
Quinn Sighted and leanned forward grabbing Chase's seat from the Back.
"How much time till we get there?".
"We're here actually". Chase told her as he drove off the highway to an exit that lead directly to the entrance of the airport.
"Awesome!". Quinn smiled. Chase parked his car at the entrance and Everyone walked into the New Washington airport.
"At What time does the plane arrives?". Quinn asked Logan and he looked at his phone.
"10:30".
"And what time is it?". Quinn asked.
"10:20". Chase replied.
"Just 10 more minutes". Logan smirked as they made their was to the electric stair way. When they got to the top, they rushed to the waiting room. Chase sat down and Logan and Quinn excused themselves to get some coffee. Chase looked around, seeing the different stores, but something caught his eye. An old lady sitting on a little wore out chair, who seemed to be selling some red balloons, a gigantic Teddy bear and some roses. He didn't noticed Quinn and Logan coming back with the coffee's. They sat next to him and Logan tuned to see him, with a coffee on hand.
"Here". Logan handed him the coffee.
"Thanks". He replied still looking at the old lady.
Logan and Quinn looked at each other with confusion.
"What are you looking at?". Quinn asked.
"Uh... I? I'll be right back?". Chase told her as he made his way towards the lady.
"Wait! The plane arrives in two minutes! Chase!?". Quinn said as they began to follow him.
The lady who was looking down, quickly raised her head up, looking at Chase. Quinn and Logan arrived seconds later.
"Hi there? What are you selling here?". Chase sweetly asked.
"Please don't kick me out! I know this is a private property and that I need permission to sell here, but I really need to sell this, so I can feed my children. Please let me stay!". The lady told him with tears in her eyes.
Chase looked at her confused. Logan leanned in and whispered something to him.
"I think she thinks your a police agent or something".
Chase turned back his attention to the lady, who was beginning to pick her stuff.
"Wait? I'm not a police agent ma'am".
"Your not?". The lady asked unsure.
"No, I'm just a regular person". Chase said with a smile. The lady sat her stuff down and gave him a small smile.
You mentioned that you need money to feed your children?". Chase asked.
"Yes sir, my husband, who passed away a couple of years ago, left me a flower shop and this is all I have left".
"And your children? Where are they?". Chase asked again.
"I have an older son, he's 13 and he's waiting for me and my other four young boys, under the highway bridge".
Chase turned to see out the glass window on the waiting room and saw that it was raining.
"Poor lady... I have to help her somehow". Chase thought.
"I want to buy something then". Chase told her and she, again raised her head.
"I want to buy the Teddy bear, the dozen of roses and all the balloons".
The lady couldn't believe it. He was buying all of her merchandise.
"How much will it be?". Chase asked her as he took his checkbook out.
With tears in her eyes she answered.
"Each Rose is a dollar as well as the balloons, and the Teddy bear is $4.00 dollars, which is a total of $28.00 dollars".
Chase nodded as he wrote on the check. He snatched it and handed it to the lady. She took it and gasped at the quantity on the check.
"Sir!? This... Is too much, I can't take this".
"Take it. Go find your kids, get them some food and get a hotel room. I just want you and your kids to sleep in a safe place tonight". Chase sincerely said.
"Thank you! Thank you so much! God bless you!". The lady shook his hand.
"Your welcome. No go and be with your kids".
She nodded and rushed to the exit. Logan and Quinn turned to see him.
"Your the best". Quinn told him as he patted his back.
"Yeah? Well you guys are too". Chase said with a smile.
"Really?". Logan asked excitedly.
"Of course! Since your going to help me take all of this". He said as he walked away with the dozen of roses. Logan's smile faded and turned to see Quinn, who gave him a small innocent smile. She quickly took the the balloons, that were held down with a rock.
"Ugh! Why me!?". Logan groaned and picked the large Teddy bear. He stumbled side to side as he made his way to his friends.
"Flight 259 From Los Angeles to Washington has arrived. Passengers are now descending to the waiting room". The announcer said.
"There here!?". Quinn told the guys excitedly.
Logan sat the Teddy bear don't down and walked along with Quinn and Chase towards the door where Zoey and their other 2 friends were going to exit.
They stood there, Quinn holding the balloons, and Chase hiding the roses behind his back.
-Back to really-
"So yeah, that's the end of the story". Logan said.
Zoey turned to look at Chase.
"It was so kind of you to help that lady".
"Thank you. I just felt the need to help her".
Both of them smiled and shared a kiss.
"So? Where are you guys staying for the night?". Michael asked as he took the coffee Logan had and took a big sip. The only thing Logan could do was gasp at his friend.
"There's a hotel right in front of the airport?". Quinn said as he looked at Chase.
"Well stay there until we find a house or apartment". Chase finished.
Zoey, Lola and Michael, who had the coffee cup up his mouth looked at each other.
"Or you can't stay with us?". Zoey suggested.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Michael told me that you guys only have three rooms. No guestrooms". Logan said.
"We can go around those problems". Zoey replied.
"Well make some new arrangements". Lola added.
"Or? We could stay at the mansion my grandfather has here? No arrangements. See?". Logan suggested.
All of them turned to see him. Quinn walked up to him and grabbed his arm.
"Baby, why don't we go and get you another coffee". Quinn said as she leaded him away.
"But it's a great idea!". Logan argued.
"I know where your getting at, but...". Quinn's voice faded away and Zoey turned to see Chase.
"Come on Chase!? Say yes!".
"I don't know...". Chase said indecisive.
"Please!?". Lola and Zoey made some puppy eyes and Chase couldn't resist to that, so he smiled and nodded.
"Okay... We'll go with you". Chase gave in.
"Then it's settled. Let's go find Quinn and Logan, so we can head home". Michael said and Everyone stood up and headed to the coffee shop.
