Disclaimer: Disclaimers are SO overrated

A/N: Hey guys. This is the LAST CHAPTER. Again, the reason I don't write is because of Blogcritics (see profile). I didn't think it was fair to leave you hanging like this, so here it is.

The LAST CHAPTER Motherly Figure

A tear rolled down Lola's check.

"Come on, Lola, you can tell me, we are friends," Michael assured her. She nodded her head.

"I can't..." she shuttered, "It–" she stopped.

"Lola? Come on!" Michael said.

Lola sighed, "My dad...they said he'd be ok and he died. Logan's hospitalization is reminded me of that," she admitted.

"I'm...sorry," He said.

Lola burst into tears, "I can't think about losing him again."

"My brother..." Michael started, "He fought in the war in Iraq. He was saving an eighty-year-old women from a building and a car bomb went off..."

"He die?" Lola asked.

Michael nodded, "I always thought of it as a bad thing. But then I realized..." He paused.

"Realized what?" She asked.

"The reason I came to PCA was because my parents couldn't handle life after John's death. I have met some good friends here and this amazing girl," Michael started to cry.

"Vanessa?" Lola guessed.

"No."

"Who? Does she know you like her?" She asked.

"I don't know. Do you know I like you?" He asked.

She paused and kissed him, "Thank you."

"For what?" He wondered aloud.

"For always being there," She answered. Let's go get some sleep.

--

Zoey, once again, fell asleep on Chase's shoulder. Chase, however, could not get to sleep. He got a whiff of Zoey's hair, which smelled like a mix of melons and oranges. He watched her sleep in peace.

"Don't ever do this to me," He talked to her, "Like Logan's doing to Dana. Don't ever scare me like he is."

He stroked her hair, 'Whatcha dreamin' about?" He asked.

He sighed, "Don't ever get hurt like Logan. I never want to get a call from Nicole or Lola or whoever saying to get down to the hospital because you are in critical condition."

He took a deep breath, "Because Zoey, I know you're asleep and can't hear me, but I love you. I'm not just talking about minor crush or I think you're hot or whatever. I LOVE YOU," He sighed, "I wish I could tell you that."

Zoey had a devil-ish smile on her face. Chase looked puzzled, "Zoey?" He called. No answer. "Zoey, are you asleep?" He asked.

Zoey smiled with her eyes closed, "Yes, Chase, I'm asleep."

Chase leaped up from his chair, "Holy Crap! You're not asleep."

Zoey smiled, "Nope."

"How much did you hear?" He asked, afraid of the answer.

"All of it," She admitted, "I wasn't asleep."

"What? Why did you pretend to be?" He asked, bemused.

She blushed, "So, I had a reason to lie on your shoulder."

Chase put on a weak smile.

"Come here, you big goof!" She grabbed him by the shirt and kissed him, "How many hints do I have to drop to tell you that I like you?"

"You?" Chase defended, "I was the one continuously dropping hints! You just didn't get the message!"

"Me?"

"Yes, you!" He accused.

"Wait, a second," Zoey thought, "I like you, you like me, why exactly are we arguing about who left who hints?" She asked.

"There is pretty of empty hospital rooms available!" Chase suggested. He kissed her and headed off to find said hospital rooms.

--

Shelby, Malcolm's unofficial girlfriend, came down the stairs, wondering what happened to her bed mate. The detective was gone, but left something behind...his wallet WITH A FAKE DETECTIVE BADGE! Detective Cameron Singh was not a real detective, which means...

Oh, shit.

Where was Malcolm?

There was blood everywhere. Where is he? She called 911.

--

Anita held a sharp knife to Dana's throat, "One word from either of you...I kill your precious girlfriend."

There was a knock on the door, "It's me, babe," It must be Cameron.

"Open the door, Logan," Anita commanded.

Logan just stood there.

"NOW!" She screamed. She held the knife closer to Dana's throat.

Logan hurried to the door and let "Detective" Cameron Singh in.

"Where's the trash?" Anita asked, referring to Malcolm.

"In the trunk," Cam replied.

"Dead?" She asked.

"Almost. Afraid we'll have to steal another car, there's blood everywhere," He informed her.

"Great, more work," Anita replied.

Logan mouthed, 'I love you' to Dana and 'I'm sorry.'

She mouthed back, 'It was worth it.'

'We need a plan,' he continued.

Dana gestured towards Cameron.

'What about him?' Logan mouthed.

'The gun!' Dana mouthed back.

He made a quick move towards Cameron and before you knew it, Logan had the gun in his hand.

"LOGAN!" Anita scolded.

"Stop!" Logan screamed, holding the gun, "Let Dana go or I fire," he warned.

"Try it, there's no more bullets..." Cameron said.

"Ya think I'm an idiot?" Logan said, not falling for the trap.

"You'd shoot your own mother?" Anita questioned.

"You're not my mother anymore! Not until you get help!" Logan screamed. Anita came towards him and he fired. Anita fell to the ground. Cameron ran out of the bathroom.

Logan's mouth fell open, "What did I do?"

Dana ran over to comfort him, "It's ok, we need the police."

--

Logan and Dana were set free without any charges, because the acted in defense. Using the evidence of the fake badge, testimonies of Malcolm, Dana, Shelby, and Logan, and any forensic evidence, they proved that they should not be the ones on trial, Anita and Cameron should.

Cameron pleaded guilty and was sent to jail for life for attempted murder.

Anita survived and also pleaded guilty. She, however, was diagnosed with Bipolar, a mental disability. She was sent to a Mental Hospital. She now does not remember anything, including Logan. She is expected to live and die there.

Malcolm survived, but he now is paralyzed in a wheelchair for life. He apologizes greatly to Logan for agreeing to give custody to Anita.

Nicole fell for one of the jury members for Cameron's sentence. Although he was five years older, the two are going strong.

Quinn was allowed to visit Anita at the hospital to study the MSP nerve. The doctors there are grateful for her knowledge.

Zoey and Chase and Michael and Lola are all happy together. They supported their friends Dana and Logan and prayed to God they never have that happened to them. Both couples have been together since that night.

Logan lives in pain for shooting his mother. He knew it was he only choice or him and Dana would have died. He goes to therapy every week. The memory haunts him. Dana attends with him. She wants to be the most supportive girlfriend. That's right, I said girlfriend. Dana is the only thing that keeps Logan going. In spite of everything, nothing could tear Logan and Dana apart.

THE END

A/N: That's the end. Dramatic, huh? This was my first really dramatic story. I am diagnosed with Bipolar, so it is personal for me. Nothing of this magnitude has happened to me, because I was treated early. My sister has bipolar, so my mom recognized mine. It just goes to show you. So, if you or someone you know MAY have bipolar always get tested. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Look at me, I'm voicing mine to the whole world. If you need support, please email me (my email's in my profile.) I will be happy to help and give support.

Always,
