Logan had his arms wrapped round Dana.

"You know what Logan?" Dana murmured as she hang from his arms.

"What?" Logan asked softly.

"You could have any girl in school, so why me?" Dana whispered, as Logan pulled her close.

"Coz you're the most beautiful girl I ever laid my eyes on!" Logan whispered back.

Dana smiled and closed her eyes, Logan moved his head towards Dana's ready for a kiss, but before they could do anything they heard shouting outside the dorm. Logan let go of Dana and she fell back on to the floor. She had just struggled up the floor Michael stormed in his face red in fury.

"Maddy, I hope you rot in hell!" he screamed, "Don't you ever come near me again!" he slammed the door then, glanced at Logan and Dana, "Sorry!"

"Way to go Mike, just spoil the moment!" Logan shouted at him.

"I said I was sorry!" Michael shouted back.

"Guys, I'm going!" Dana screamed over the raging boys.

They didn't hear her so she just walked out. Dana went to find Maddy. The first place she thought of was the beach. Maddy said it made her mind flow. Dana wasn't sure if she was the best of friends to help Maddy out because Maddy had just had a few problems (Of which you'll know about if you read Lovechain!) to go over, her brother wanted to help her, but that's just not Maddy.

When Dana got down to the beach Maddy was dipping her feet in a nearby rock pool. When Dana got closer she could see the mark where Michael had hit on her arms, but of course Dana didn't know that, only Maddy and Michael knew that. Although it had been two months since Maddy had told them, Michael still wasn't taking it well.

"Maddy, what happened to your arms?" Dana asked worriedly.

"Nothing!" Maddy snapped. (Do you remember how Michael slapped her in Lovechain, well guess who did this!)

Dana stood in front of Maddy and looked into her eyes.

"Tell me!" Dana demanded.

"Why should I?" Maddy asked.

"Coz I'm a friend and I have to know these things!" Dana replied.

"If I tell you you can't tell a living soul." Maddy whispered.

"Promise!" Dana said softly as she sat down beside Maddy.

"If I talk to Michael he beats me up." Maddy whispered into Dana's ear.

Dana's face went blank, "Why?"

"I don't know! It's not like we were in a serious relationship or anything!" Maddy said a little louder.

"I know, but you did hurt him!" Dana said, while staring worriedly at Maddy's poor bruised arms, "But then again he shouldn't have hurt you. Has he hurt you before?"

"Well, you know when my face was bruised the night after you know... that was him and last week he wholloped my leg!" Maddy replied while rolling up her white jeans.

Dana gasped as Maddy revealed a swollen, purple lump just below her knee, "I've got a few things to say to Michael!" Dana roared, then stood up.

She was stopped by Maddy who was holding tightly onto Dana's knee-length skirt. Dana glared at her.

"Maddy someones gotta confront him!" Dana said furiously.

"No they don't!" Maddy pleaded.

"If he hurts you again, I'm gonna kill him! Or get your brother to do it!" Dana roared as she flopped back down beside Maddy reluctantly.

"Don't tell Adam!" Maddy cried.

"He needs to know!" Dana replied.

"No he doesn't!" Maddy insisted.

"You'll tell him eventually, won't you?" Dana asked seriously.

"Yes! Yes, of course! I think!" Maddy stuttered.

"Of course you will! And we'll figure out a way to help Michael and you as soon as you tell him!" Dana commanded.

"Yes, Mam!" Maddy replied sarcastically.

"I mean it, Maddy!" Dana whispered, while glaring at her, "Now put my jacket on and let's go back to our dorms!"

Dana stood up again and threw Maddy her denim jacket. Maddy obediently put it on and followed Dana back to her dorm.

When they'd made sure Quinn wasn't in the room, Maddy took off Dana's jacket handed it to Dana and found her own pink one.

"Now, promise me ya'll stay away from Michael and ya'll tell Adam soon!" Dana whispered, just in case Nicole, Quinn or Zoey heard in their dorm next door. Dana walked out. Maddy was left standing next to her huge wardrobe which was filled with pink and white garments. Maddy noticed something was different about the room someone had put an extra wardrobe and bed in their dorm. There was a book on the extra bed. The title read Lola, the true born star.

"Someone's big-headed!" Maddy muttered, as she walked out of the room to go and pay a visit to Zoey and Nicole.

In their dorm was another girl. Maddy didn't recognise her. She had soft brunette hair with green streaks. Her face was also soft, but her outfit made you dizzy. She was wearing a black dress top with green spots and a green mini-skirt.

"Oh, hi Maddy!" Zoey greeted.

"Hi! Who's this?" Maddy asked gesturing at the brunette girl.

"Hi, Maddy! I'm Lola! I stayed in Zoey and Nicole's dorm when Dana went to France for that one year! What was that, one year ago?" she babbled on, another Nicole.

"Lola, it was just a few months ago!" Dana replied as she rolled her eyes.

"Oh yeah! Well my parents tried me at stage school, but I didn't fit in, so I came back here!" Lola babbled even more.

"She'll be staying with you and Quinn, is that O.K?" Nicole asked excitedly.

"Mmhm!" Maddy answered.

"Maddy what's tha matter?" Zoey asked thoughtfully.

"Nothing! I'm just thinking!" Maddy replied.

"Watcha thinking about?" Nicole asked.

"Stuff!" Maddy replied with a quick glance at Dana.

"Uh huh!" Lola said, obviously not believing her.

"Just tell 'em!" Dana shouted, then she remembered that Lola didn't even know the first thing that happened when Maddy first came two months ago, "You don't have to, but I might not be able to keep the secret by myself!"

"Lola, you know when I first came..."

In Chase, Logan and Michael's dorm, Logan and Michael were still tearing each others heads off. (A/n: OJO what type of speech is this? You guessed right or wrong, a metaphor!) Then Chase came in looking worried.

"Lola's back!" he shouted worryingly over the two screaming boys.

They stopped immediately and stared at Chase, who still looked worried.

"What did you say?" Michael asked not knowing if he'd heard correctly.

"Lola is back." Chase repeated slowly, so that Michael could catch on.

"So why are you so worried?" Logan asked puzzled.

"Coz she didn't know I liked Zoey and now I'm going out with her!" Chase shouted as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"So that's why you broke up?" Michael said.

"Yes!" Chase shouted.

"O.K! So what are you gonna do about?" Logan asked strategically.

"Tell her before Zoey!" Chase yelled as he ran out the room.

"Wow, that is big!" Lola replied, "Poor Michael!"

"Yeah, poor Michael!" Dana said sarcastically, "Well look what he did to Maddy!" Dana roared as she whipped Maddy's jacket off and revealed her bruised arms.

"Dana!" Maddy protested, but it was too late the girls had already seen her arms.

"Maddy, how?" Zoey asked worriedly.

"Yeah, why'd he do this?" Nicole asked shocked.

"Those look painful!" Lola exclaimed.

"What looks painful?" Chase asked from the doorway.

It was a good job Maddy had her back to the door. Dana quickly threw Maddy's jacket over her arms.

"Nothing!" they all replied in one voice.

"Alright, I'll believe you this once!" Chase muttered, "Hey Lola! Can I talk to you a minute?"

Lola shrugged her shoulders, "Sure!"

Outside the room Chase lent against the wall, Lola lent against it next to him and looked at him.

"So what's up?" Lola asked casually.

"You know when we broke up I told you the girl I liked was from my hometown, well I lied! She's actually in PCA! And you know her! It's-" Chase explained.

"Zoey!" Lola interrupted, "I know!"

"How'd you know?" Chase asked curiously.

"It's easy, by the way you act around her!" Lola replied in a matter of fact way.

"So you cool with it?" Chase asked hopefully.

"Uh huh!" Lola replied, then headed back into the room.

Chase shrugged then walked back to his dorm.

Back in Zoey, Dana and Nicole's dorm Lola was still curious about Maddy's bruises, but Zoey, Dana, Nicole and Maddy wanted to know what Chase wanted especially, after all it was her boyfriend. (A/n: I bet you all wish that you'd read Lovechain now! Well you still can! This story is so not over!)

"So, what did Chase want?" Zoey asked impatiently.

"Just a catch up! No biggie!" Lola replied happily, it's a good job she can act.

"O.K!" Zoey chirped, then turned her attention back to Maddy, "What happened to your arms, Maddy?"

"I went to apologise to Michael, for the 50th time this week and he asked me why I even kissed him in the first place. Before I could answer he was punching my arms. Then he said I should rot in hell and stay away from him. So I ran to the beach and told Dana!" Maddy told them as she rolled up her trouser leg, they all gasped when they saw the swollen lump, all except Dana who had seen it already, "And last week he did this!"

"Ouch, you must be in agony, but I can understand why he did it! Can't you?" Lola exclaimed.

"No, Lola! I can't!" shouted Dana.

"Neither can I!" Nicole squealed.

"Nor me!" Zoey cried.

"Well I'm definitely taking Michael's side for this one!" Lola exclaimed.

"Why's that? Coz you like him?" Dana asked casually.

"Maybe I do! Maybe I don't! You'll find out all in good time!" Lola shouted as she left the room.

"Does she or doesn't she?" Nicole asked extremely confused.

"She does!" Dana and Zoey replied together.

Maddy looked at her feet, then looked at the other three. They were all staring at her.

"Maddy, do you still like him?" Nicole asked confused at Maddy's behaviour.

"I don't know!" Maddy whined.

"Well maybe you should sleep on it!" Zoey suggested thoughtfully.

"I think I will! See ya in the morning! Goodnight!" Maddy called as she flounced out of the room.

"I think I'll turn in too!" Zoey yawned, it had been another busy day.

"Night, Zo!" Nicole called as she climbed the ladder to her bed and flopped down in it, "Night, Dana!"

Dana got undressed and into bed.

In the middle of the night, outside there was a loud crash and a flash. A thunderstorm. The only thing Dana's afraid of. Dana got out of bed and ran down the long corridor all the way to Logan's dorm. She knocked on the door. There was another flash and a huge bang.

"Dana, what do you want, it's the middle of the night?" said a very tired Logan as he opened the door.

"Logan, please don't laugh, but I'm scared of thunderstorms can I stay with you?" Dana whispered.

"Well seeming that tomorrow's Saturday and Chase and Michael are staying in Paul and Adam's room, I suppose so." Logan replied.

They went over to Logan's bed and Dana jumped in followed by Logan. He then realised that he wasn't tired anymore.

"Fancy that, Dana Cruz, afraid of thunderstorms!" he chortled.

"Oh, shut up!" Dana murmured then she held in a very passionate kiss indeed.

A/n: I'm gonna leave ya there now! Soz! This Chap is for my best friend in the whole world AHSMAYM! She has a really weird and freaky name so these are her initials! So for you Rhia!
