Fights And Accidents
Lounge
"Zoey, that was awesome!" Nicole squealed hugging Zoey tightly.
"Um…Nicole?"
"Yeah?" Nicole asked looking at Zoey.
"Need…air…"Zoey struggled to say as her friend cut off her source of oxygen.
"Oops…sorry!" Nicole said giggling as she relinquished her grip on the blonde. Looking up she waved in the direction of her and Zoey's other roommate. "Dana! Over here!"
"Hey," Dana said dropping herself into a chair.
"Wasn't Zoey awesome today!" Nicole said throwing her arm around her friend deciding that she shouldn't suffocate her again.
"Yeah," Dana admitted shocking her roommates. "It was funny watching Logan look like he got slapped in the face."
"Okay, that's the Dana we all know," Michael said walking over and falling into a chair.
"Yeah," Chase said nodding. Sitting next to Zoey on the couch he turned back to Dana. "You had us scared for a minute."
"Oh, yeah," Michael said nodding. "For a minute I thought that you had gotten exposed to one of Quinn's experiments."
"Very funny," Dana said sarcastically. Standing she grabbed her gym bag and headed towards the dorm. "I'm gonna go for a swim."
"Can we come?" Nicole asked hopefully.
"No," Dana replied shortly before shutting the door.
"That's our Dana," Zoey said shaking her head as she laughed.
"I have to go too," Chase said standing. "My shift at the sushi bar is starting soon."
"What time is it ending today?" Michael asked.
"I'm just going in for an hour and a half," Chase said. "I just have to train a newbie."
"Come back when you're done?" Zoey asked making Chase blush slightly.
"Sure." Looking down at his watch he jumped slightly. "I gotta go!" he exclaimed before running out.
"When are you gonna be back, Dana?" Nicole asked as she watched Dana exit their room.
"Soon," Dana replied before walking out.
"Well, she's cheery," Michael said rolling his eyes.
"Like always," Zoey said laughing.
"What?" Nicole asked confused. "When was Dana cheery?"
"We were being sarcastic, Nicole," Zoey said.
"Oh…I knew that," Nicole said blushing.
"Yeah, yeah," Michael said nodding.
"Standing Nicole smoothed out her skirt. "I'm gonna head down to the student store. I need some stuff."
"Wait for me," Michael said standing. "I need some new notebooks."
"I'm gonna go get changed," Zoey said standing. "See you two later."Walking into her room Zoey shut and locked the door before she stripped out of her costume from the play before walking over to the closet. Pulling on a pair of light blue capris she threw a pale pink tank top over her head along with a sheer, half sleeve, pale pink and while stripped blouse leaving it unbuttoned. Exiting her room she washed off her stage make up and removed the jewel from her forehead before returning to her room and sitting herself down in front of the mirror. Slowly brushing on some pale pink eye shadow she began to search through her make up bag. "Where did that eye liner go?" she grumbled to herself in annoyance. "Found it!" Pulling it out, she slowly lined her top lids in black eyeliner before applying her black mascara. Finally, she applied a coat of clear lip gloss before smiling. "Perfect." Hearing a fast rapping at her door she said, "Come in!"
"What the heck was up with you at the play!" Logan exclaimed storming into the room and slamming the door.
Turning around sharply in her chair Zoey glared at Logan. "What are you so mad about! All I did was not kiss you!"
"You messed up the rest of the play!"
"Why do you care! You just auditioned for the hell of it!" Zoey exclaimed. "Besides, everyone liked the ending!"
"We spent a week and a half trying to get that last scene done!"
"And, like I said; people still liked the ending!"
"And like I said-"
"What! Did you want to kiss me or something!" Zoey exclaimed half wanting, half dreading his answer.
"What!" Logan exclaimed, his back quickly snapping straight. "No!" Hoping that she believed him, he mentally cursed himself. I should never have tried out for that stupid play! Then, I never would have started to feel for her! I'm supposed to be a guy that doesn't have real feelings like this for anybody! I have to be!
"Well, then you shouldn't care this much!"
"Did it ever occur to you that I actually cared about how the play turned out!"
"Why would you! You had made fun of it when you heard about it!"
"Well, I liked it and wanted it to turn out right! Is that so hard to believe!"
"Yes!" Zoey yelled as if it were obvious. How can I li- no! I don't like him! I can't like him!
"Why!"
"Because, you're Logan Reese!"
"So!"
"Everyone in this school knows that all you care about is getting girls to make out with you!"
"Is that really all you think I care about!"
"Well, yeah!"
"Why!"
"Because, it's all you ever do or show interest in!"
"You don't even know me!" Logan yelled as his voice slowly reached screaming level. She's never even gotten to know me! No one has! The only person at this school that knows a thing about me is Michael! Logan thought angrily.
"Well, if you want people to know you then you shouldn't act like such a bastard!" Zoey screamed in anger.
"You think it's that easy!"
"It is!"
"Maybe for you!"
"At least I don't try and act like something I'm not!"
"I-"
"I hate you!" Zoey screamed. "Why don't you just stay out of my life for good!"
"Fine!" Logan screamed in anger turning on his heel and going for the door.
"Fine!" Zoey screamed back watching Logan slam the door as he exited the room and her life…maybe for good.

So she hates me. So what? Logan thought bitterly at himself as he stormed out of the girls' dorm and angrily walked down the hall, scaring some of the younger students as he went. There're plenty of other people at his school! I don't need her! Although, even as he thought that to himself a voice in the back of his head was attempting to tell him that maybe he did. Maybe she could understand. Understand why he was the way he was and why he acted the way he acted. Hurrying his walk to a jog he passed right by Michael, Chase, and Nicole not even giving them a second glance or even acknowledging that they were there.
"Geez, what's up with him?" Chase wondered as he saw one of his roommates run past.
"Who knows? Who cares?" Nicole asked. "What's up with you?" Directing her last question towards Michael she tilted her head in curiosity.
"Nothing," Michael said shaking his head. "Just wondering what set him off." Better talk to him later.
"Zoey probably rejected him again," Chase said. At least I hope.
"Yeah," Michael said nodding. "Maybe."
"Hey, Zoey," Nicole said as the three of them sat down around their friend who looked angry.
"What's up with you?"
"Nothing," Zoey said shaking her head. "Just got into a fight with Logan."
"Another?" Michael asked.
"Different this time," Zoey said. "This time I told him I hated him and to stay out of my life for good."
"What was the fight about?" Chase asked.
Sighing and opening her mouth Zoey began to tell the story of what happened.
With Logan
Storming out of the building Logan continued over to his own building and walked to his own room ignoring any of the boys that tried to talk to him. Throwing his door open he entered and slammed the door shut. Go to the beach and burn off some steam. That'll be good. Grabbing his bathing suit he quickly changed and grabbed a towel before storming out of his room as fast has he had entered. Walking out he headed in the direction of the school gates. Feeling someone grab his arm his head snapped up to see Dana, her hair still wet from the ocean.
"What's up with you?"
"Fight with Zoey," Logan said shortly.
"About?"
"Ask her. Not like you'd believe me anyway," Logan said pulling his arm out of her grasp.
"What do you mean by that?" Dana asked slightly offended.
"No one believes what I say. Why should you?" Turning on his heel he turned and continued on his walk towards the beach.
Shrugging, Dana turned and began to walk in the direction of her building. Hearing what sound like tires screeching she turned quickly and screamed in horror. "Logan! Look out!"
Snapping his head to his left he was horrified to see a red sports car speeding at him, the driver obviously drunk. He attempted to move only to find himself frozen to his spot.
"Move you idiot!" Dana screamed trying to get Logan's attention.
I wish I could, Logan thought as he shut his eyes as if hoping the car would disappear. It didn't. Logan suddenly felt a searing pain enter his left side and felt himself fly to the other side of the road only to be hit by a swerving car. Feeling another searing pain, this time through his right side; he heard Dana scream and saw her blurred figure rushing toward him and screaming for someone to call an ambulance. And, then his world went black.
---
"Logan!" Dana screamed in horror as she watched her…somewhat friend become part of the red sports car and go flying only to be hit by another car that had been swerving to avoid the accident, only to become part of it. Running towards him she screamed, "Someone, call an ambulance!" Falling to her knees beside him she felt for a pulse and breathed out a sigh of relief when she found one. It was weak, but it was there. Feeling tears enter her eyes as she saw his legs, left arm, and practically his entire bottom half twisted in unnatural positions she silently prayed that he'd make it through.
Soon the ambulance arrived and after a few difficult minutes of loading Logan onto a stretcher put his unconscious form into the vehicle. Silently getting in she watched Logan struggle to breathe and wished that she had held him back for only a few more seconds.
As soon as the ambulance pulled into the hospital Logan was immediately rushed to the ER, leaving the crying Dana to call her friends back at PCA. Walking to the phone slowly she dropped in some spare change and prayed that Zoey would pick up.
"Hello?"
"Zoey?" Dana choked out through her tears.
"Dana? Is that you?" Zoey asked, a feeling of dread growing in her stomach. If it made Dana cry, it had to be bad.
"Yeah."
"What's wrong what happened?" Zoey asked.
---"Oh, God," Zoey said collapsing back into her chair. "We'll call a taxi or something. We'll be there soon, okay? Bye." Hanging up she looked at her friends, her eyes filling with tears of worry, shock, and guilt.
"Zoey, what's wrong? What's going on?" Chase asked worried.
"Logan…there was an accident."

Logan: You get fun out of torturing people.
Anime Girl23: Oh, yes I do. :P

Anime Girl23: Because you're my favorite.
Logan: If this is what you do to your favorites, then I don't wanna see what you do to people you hate.
Anime Girl23: Just look what I did to Dean in my Gilmore Girls story and you'll know. ;) Ha ha!
Logan: I have reason to be scared, huh?
Anime Girl23: Oh, yeah.
Logan: Just update so I can be freed from this torture.
Anime Girl23: Yes, do! Press the little button that says "GO" and leave me feedback! Flames will be used to burn my summer reading book! Until next time!
NOTE: I know characters, namely Zoey, Logan, and Dana are OOC, but it's needed for the story to work. I know Zoey doesn't swear but she was angry. And, you're going to see a side of Logan and Dana no one has before! Bye!
