Ok, i've done it :D
And no, the drama never stops. Hehe.
Best song to listen to while reading: Rooftops and Invitations- Dashboard Confessional.
Thanks for all of your supportive reviews after the last chapter, they've helped me keep going... not just with this story, but with my Hannah Montana fic and my Dasey oneshot (which yes, is nearly finished, so will be posted before i go away)
I'm going to sunny Spain on the 16th :D
Hopefully this story will be complete by then- there are 12 chapters in total!
Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101 or Dashboard Confessional (unfortunately, cos they're hot). I do however, own Pierre, and Elise and Johnny Maxwell (the little troublemakers lol)

Chapter 10
Logan's POV
The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix
If you'd told me back when the girls started at PCA that I would fall in love with Dana Cruz, I would have laughed in your face. I mean, sure I thought she was hot, and when I first saw her I wanted to have her, make out with her. But that was normal… that's how I felt about a lot of girls. Dana was sexy as hell, but what I feel for her now is more than just a physical attraction. Love isn't a word that people associate with me, and I think sometimes even Dana has a hard time believing that I care as much as I say I do. Then again, Dana's right to have her doubts. I'm not the perfect guy- and hell, I'm too hot to be whipped like Chase. I still smile at other girls, and try and piss Dana off, but I do it all holding her hand so she knows I'm never gonna leave her.
When she's being a bitch I can just look at her and she'll stop… she is still the same Dana that fell in love with, but she's grown up enough to know that just because we're fighting doesn't mean I've stopped loving her.
When she left at the end of our first year, I crumbled. I realised just how much I needed her.
Things are different now. I love her just as much as I always did, but the situation is reversed. Now it's Dana who needs me. She denies it as much as she can, but we both know that she isn't as strong as she once was. Well, physically she still kicks ass, but emotionally, she's a little weaker… I guess that's what getting hurt does to a girl
She just might get you lost
And she just might leave you torn
But she just might save your soul
If she gets you when she gets you any closer
Johnny Maxwell won't leave her alone. At first, Dana felt guilty because she thought she'd led him on. Then she realised that he was just trying to upset her… and succeeding. He leaves her threatening messages that she thinks I don't know about- not too serious, but not letting her forget. He hates her for running out on him, and for breaking up me and Elise. He hates me for having Dana, and for dumping his sister.
I don't really know what he has in store for me and Dana, I just hope I can protect her from what I'm guessing could be really, really bad. After all, she saved me from Elise. I love her way too much to let Johnny hurt her.
She leads you up, points out skylines and stars, steeple chases in bars
And took your keys and demanded that you stay
The city longs well for rooftops and invitations
All lace in secret places, she moves you to touch with her hands
Having Dana has make this place seemso much more bearable, but I can't shake the feeling that something isn't quite right. I mean, when I'm only with Dana, things are perfect. We sit out under the stars, we explore new things and open up the way I never thought I would with another human being. Unfortunately, PCA is a school full of kids and expectations. I think we're strong enough to survive Johnny's threats, but I can only hope that we're strong enough to forget my past, and my reputation. I'm not gonna hurt Dana… I just hope she can believe that, when she sees the girls throwing themselves at me. I'm hot, I'm used to it. I just feel bad… because there's a part of me that wants to respond. I'm no virgin. Dana knows that. I don't think she's one either. She just wants to wait… and other girls are more than happy to offer to makeup for it. I'd never cheat on Dana… but part of me wonders why she's so scared to get physically close to me. Am I not what she wants?
Um, there's someone at the door. What the hell? It's midnight. Logan journal time. Who on earth could be knocking on my-
And she just might get you lost
And she just might leave you torn
But she just might save your soul
If she gets you when she gets you any closer
Dana's POV
Dana Cruz is happy.
Yeah, you heard it right. Do you believe me?
No?
Well, you're right not to.
I love Logan, and don't get me wrong, I'd rather die than lose him… but it's really, really hard. See, I've never really opened up to Logan before. I'm used to the banter. Which brings back the ghost of Pierre.
We've never talked about him since that day. I guess we thought it was a good idea not to bring it up- get a clean slate and all. It's just… strange, that's all. Like completely cutting out a major part of my life.
Can you keep a secret?
Well… Pierre was my first. And my only.
From what I can tell, Logan has slept his way through more than a few of the girls on campus already. He's a 16 year old boy, he has urges. I get that.
The thought just… I dunno, terrifies me?
The thought of sleeping with him I mean. Cos I really trusted Pierre, thought I loved him. I thought (stupidly) that he might be my first and my last. That fell through.
How am I supposed to know that that won't happen this time?
Under the cold sheet, where the welcomed touch of skin and skin will meet
Out on the inside where a girls prize is at the tip of your tongue
Where every move and each impulse brings clarity
To stay like this is everything you'll ever need
Cos God, I want to. I want to so, so bad. When he touches me, I feel alive. Part of me thinks that if we do it, we're gonna want to keep doing it. And today… there's just no guarantee that there won't be consequences. Now, I'm a 21st century girl. I liked sex… I can talk about sex without being embarrassed and I'm not afraid to say the word 'sex' in front of a teacher or my parents. Nicole and Zoey still talk about 'doing it' like the naïve kids they were back when I first joined. I bet Zoey and Chase are waiting til they're married or something. And as for Nicole…well she's fickle. She doesn't have long term relationships. She is so not mature enough for sex.
Then again, I've done some pretty immature things involving sex.
I almost slept with Johnny Maxwell, for crying out loud!
She just might get you lost
And she just might leave you torn
But she just might save your soul
But she gets you any closer
Speaking of Johnny, he keeps sending me notes. Logan knows… but he doesn't know how bad they've gotten. I swear, one of these days he's gonna hurt someone. I should really do something about it, but come on, I thought it would stop. So what if I wouldn't sleep with the guy? And s what if Logan dumped Elise?
That's no reason to threaten what he's been threatening.
No wonder I'm scared of sex.
Did I really just write that?
I guess I did. Oh… hang on.
There's a note in my journal.
…
Oh my god. And I thought the drama was over.
Can you believe your eyes
Nobody's POV
Dearest Dana
I told you you'd be sorry.
He screwed Elise over.
I'm gonna screw you over.
In more ways than one. Haha.
Basketball Courts, Midnight tonight.
If you don't come…
Let's just say Mr Perfect won't be sleeping with ANYONE for a long, long time.
You know who this is from.
