A/N: I'm definitely planning for this chapter to be longer and more eventful. Oh, and I thought I would share this: the other day, one of my good friends asked me why I liked Quogan so much, because they were only together for a few episodes. And this is what I said: I like Quogan because with their relationship, you have to read between the lines. Think about it. We all know Logan as an egotistical jerk who has several dates a week for most of the show. He resigns from being a ladies' man so he can secretly date Quinn, nobody else. And would he be okay with not picking his own date for prom if he didn't care about her? Would he still go with Stacey Dillsen, and tolerate her for most of the night? Not everybody can understand their relationship. But for the people who can, it's a beautiful thing you wish you had. Yeah. Just thought I'd share that. Okay, enough of my babbling, onto the story!

Disclaimer: Nope.

Chapter Four

Zoey

"Chase?" he smiles at me.

"Hey, Zo." He pulls me in for a hug, which I accept, but I can't hide the confusion and shock from my face. He notices, and pulls back, but his hands are still around my waist. He looks disappointed. "Everything okay?"

"Uh… yeah!" I stutter. "I'm just… surprised. How did you – what are you doing here?"

"Well, my parents said I could visit PCA for my semester break, but it turns out you guys are on yours, too. And you wouldn't believe who told me where you were. Vince Blake. It scared the crap out of me; I thought he was expelled. You guys didn't tell me he was back. And guess what? He was actually nice. He didn't hit me or threaten me or anything. And he told me to tell Lola to call him. Why would he want to talk to her? I mean, no off-" I cut him off.

"We don't really like Vince anymore," I say quietly. He tilts his head in confusion, and opens his mouth to speak.

"Zoey? Oh, hey. I thought that was you." I hear James say from behind me. I cringe. I totally knew this was coming, but I just wasn't prepared for it to happen so soon. I slowly turn around and give him a weak smile. Apparently he doesn't notice Chase, because he wraps his arms around me from behind and kisses my cheek. I look at the floor and blush.

"Who's this?" I hear Chase ask, the sadness obvious in his voice. My heart falls, and I look at him guiltily.

"Chase, this is James, Michael and Logan's new roommate. And he's also my… boyfriend." I watched guiltily as his face fell. James' eyes widen in recognition.

"Oh, so you're Chase?" he sticks out his hand. "It's so great to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you; all your friends miss you." I feel like crawling into a hole. I never told James about how Chase confessed his love for me and chased me all the way to England, and I never told Chase I was dating James. Chase sadly shakes his hand, although I can tell he's trying to hide his pain.

"It's nice to meet you, James," he says quietly. James looks confused, but still smiles.

"CHASE!" I hear from behind me, and turn to see Michael in the kitchen doorway. He sprints over to hug his bushy-haired friend, lifting him off the ground. Chase smiles a little, and Michael can sense something wrong, and when he sees James, he knows what it is.

"Hey, Michael, it's good to see you," he says half-heartedly.

"Uh, Michael, where's Lola?" I question, trying to advert from the awkward tension in the room.

"Oh, she's still sleeping. I didn't want to wake – wait, how did you…" he trails off, looking guilty.

"I, um, noticed she wasn't in her room, so I thought she'd be in yours, and… there she was," I say awkwardly.

"Wait a second – Lola slept in your room?" James raises his eyebrows, and looks at me, then at Michael.

"Wait, so, are you guys like… a thing now?" Chase asks, looking equally confused as James.

"What? No! She was just taking her breakup with Vince really hard, and-" Michael tries to explain, but Chase cuts him off.

"Wait, Lola went out with VINCE? Vince BLAKE? Is that why he told me to tell her to call him? And you SLEPT with LOLA?! " Chase exclaims, incredulous. Michael's eyes widen.

"No! No, it wasn't like that!" he defends.

"Morning, guys," Lola strolls into the kitchen, yawning, and grabs milk from the refrigerator, then stops whens she sees that everybody is staring at her. "Oh, Chase. Hey." It's obvious she's still hurting, from the dark circles under her eyes and the tear stains on her cheeks. I go over to give her a hug.

"I'm fine," she says quietly before I can even ask. "Let's get to the beach today. I want to work on my tan." Giving us all weak smiles, she turns and heads back to her room. Michael follows her, leaving me alone with Chase and James. I turn back to both of them awkwardly.

"Um, I'm gonna go shower," I say, then quickly walk out of the room, not ready to deal with that. Not now.

Quinn

"Everyone else is probably awake by now," I say to Logan, leaning my head on his chest as he strokes my hair.

"Do you think they'll suspect anything if we're the only two people still 'asleep?'" he says. Logan and I knew it would be hard to hide our relationship when we were staying at a beach house with our friends for a whole week, but we're trying to get as much alone time as possible. Logan told me to get the room next to his, because it has a door that connects the rooms, so it'd be easier for us to see each other.

"No, but we should probably go out there now. You go first; I have to shower anyway," I tell him as he helps me up. I give him a quick peck on the cheek. "See you soon," I grin at him, and he grins back. My feelings for Logan are getting stronger every day, and I don't know how much longer I'll be able to hide them, and I'm pretty sure he feels the same. And we both know that if we're not careful, it's going to slip out. Heck, James figured it out, other people might, too! I make a mental note to talk to Logan about when we should come out, so we can enjoy the secrecy while it lasts.

Chase

"I was wondering when you'd show up," I say, feeling her presence behind me. I'm standing out on my balcony, facing the beautiful endless ocean.

"We need to talk," she whispers.

"Yes, we do," I agree. She comes to stand beside me. I don't make eye contact with her.

"James is a really good guy," she says after a few moments of silence.

"Yeah, he seems to be," I answer.

"Is what you said true?" she blurted. I finally look at her. She looks at me desperately. I nod.

"I wouldn't lie about that, Zo," I whisper.

"Why didn't you just tell me?" her voice is getting louder, but she's not yelling. Not yet. "Why didn't you tell me to stay? It was your opinion that mattered to me, only yours! Chase, things could have been different! Maybe I felt the same way!" she's yelling now. My eyes widen, and then she goes silent, and looks away.

"You… felt the same way?" I repeat, in complete disbelief. I smack myself on the forehead for being such an idiot.

"I'm so confused, Chase," she whispers after a few moments. "I love James, but… I think I love you, too."

"Well, let me know when you make up your mind," I tell her, and walk away.
