A/N: This was finished just yesterday and I didn't want to wait any longer to post the new chapter! If you've noticed there are two endings, one Chase/Zoey happily ever after and one Logan/Zoey happily ever after. I didn't want to disappoint any of my readers, because some of you wanted Logan/Zoey and well, I decided to write an ending for them. Know they are a bit similar but fairly different endings. You must understand that the whole story mostly revolves around Chase so just keep that in mind when you're reading any of the endings.

Also, I don't know but to me the characters seem a bit OOC. I'm not so good with writing with this pairing, but I tried my best. I want to say thank you so much for reading my story, I hope you enjoyed it. It was very fun to write. Now my readers, I give you the Logan/Zoey happily ever after!

Mr. Matthews or Mr. Matchmaker

Chapter 12-Logan/Zoey Ending

“Chase?”

I heard gasps and watched as everyone stared with their eyes opened wide. It grew silent… extremely silent, until she spoke once more. “Chase?” The voice sounded very innocent and sweet, and I turned around to see Zoey with an expressionless face.

I gulped, loudly than I expected to. Okay, I didn’t plan for everyone to find out like this, it was un-expecting to me as it was to them. Too afraid to respond, I remained quiet, staring down at the floor.

I see the blue in her eyes for she knew what I was hiding all along. She caught the glimpse of the truth and I know that she is disappointed. It was as though the ground underneath was disappearing and there was nothing there to support me.

“I don’t believe this, it’s obvious that the ‘real’ Mr. M set us up!”

Rebecca then cut in, “Nope, Chase is the real Mr. Matchmaker. He’s the one that has been helping all those losers be the perfect date for a girl.”

My eyes shifted towards Logan, “Is this true?”

“I didn’t expect for everyone to find out this way,” I stated towards not only Logan, but everyone else. It doesn’t matter that I had the courage to tell everyone, because the only way out was to free up my guilt into the open.

“I still can’t believe this… you,” Logan pointed at me, “were him this whole time? You, my best friend?”

I simply nodded, “"Look, I'm really sorry. To all of you that ever came for help from this make believe character, but to be completely honest I truly did help you." I directed that statement to the rest of the crowd. I turned back around saying, "I understand if you don't want to ta-"

A strong force hit me square in the mouth, while I came slamming to the floor. “How could you kiss her! I thought you were my best friend, so you basically just used me!”

Slowly sitting up and rubbing a soft hand to the side of my face, I spoke. “You have every right to be angry at me.”

“You bet I do!” He started closing in on me, while people again were starting to yell ‘fight’ and the cameras were taping every move. His arm was pulled back and I didn’t want to hurt him, because I truly did deserve this. I feel like an idiot.

Waiting for the pain to come full force at me again, I closed my eyes, but then someone yelled, “Stop!”

I opened one eye to see who stopped and ordered everyone to be quiet to find Zoey standing in front of Logan. “We shouldn’t solve this in fighting, I mean… yes, Chase did a bad thing but we shouldn’t take this into fighting!”

“Zoey, he knows he deserves it, don’t you, Chase?” Logan asked. No words came out of my mouth. “See, he knows.”

Instead of yelling at me, Zoey sighed, “Chase… how could you do something like this?” I felt guilty, the guilt washed all throughout my body. My hands were shaking, while shivers ran up my back.

“I… well, I’m sorry.”

“That’s all you’re going to say, ‘sorry’? You know its not only about this Mr. M thing, it’s about everything! Everything these past days, the lies you’ve told and…” She deeply breathed out, she was far from happy. “Chase, a simple ‘sorry’ can’t make up for everything! Logan’s right you deserve this, but you’re too much of a friend to the both of us to let that happen.”

I watched as Logan rolled his eyes, obviously he didn’t agree with this. “I know what I did was terrible and I don’t expect you to forgi-,” I apologized once more.

“Oh don’t worry we won’t!” Logan shouted. He crossed his arms and paused for a moment until continuing on. “It’s not about you being Mr. M, Chase. It’s just all the dishonesty you have given us.”

I couldn’t help but yell back, “I didn’t wish for all this to happen, it just did! I didn’t plan on kissing her.”

“Wishing is different than planning, Chase,” Zoey quietly spoke.

I realized Logan tried to calm himself down, running a hand through his perfectly styled hair. “Whatever that means, Zoey. There is only one question I need to ask you. Did you lie to me, when I asked you if it was alright to date Zoey?”

The flashback suddenly appeared in my mind, even though I already knew what the honest answer was.

“I hope that’s okay, dude.” Logan was stating that directly to me, as though he could read my thoughts from before.

I acted like it was nothing, “Oh yeah, that’s fine. I was over her like last year and it was just a crush thing.”

“Alright good.” Logan yawned.

The whole crowd still remained there and I caught in the corner of my eye Rebecca smirking. A couple people behind her there stood Michael, Lola, and Quinn. It wasn’t as though things couldn’t have gotten worse.

“Did you?” He asked again. His question was a simply yes or no answer, but it meant so much. If I say ‘yes’ it will ruin everything, if I say ‘no’ he’ll have trust in me, but it won’t be the complete truth.

My eyes slowly shifted towards Zoey, who was completely staring at me. There may not be tears forming in my eyes, but I feel that there should be. I wasn’t one to cry or anything like that, but I could be very depressed as well as miserable.

She doesn’t truly love me and she doesn’t have to say it. After all this time, I can tell she knows the truth and what she wants in a guy, but I am not for her… I can’t choose who she wants, or who she needs. It seemed yesterday and a few days back everything was okay between us, well in her aspect it was… but how can it be that today?

I’ll sacrifice my own happiness just to bring other, after all… I am Mr. Matchmaker.

“No.”

“No?”

“I didn’t lie to you, Logan.” I took the chance of stepping closer to him. “Yes, I kissed Zoey… but that was a mistake, which people make everyday.”

“Kissing? A mistake? No.”

“When it’s in this state of position it is. I just want you to know that I am sorry and I understand you may never forgive me, but-“

“Is this the complete truth?”

I deeply breathed in, “Yes.”

A smile slowly performed on his face, “How can I ever stay mad at you then?” He pulled me into one of those awkward hugs, while several people clapped and a few made an ‘aww’ sound, which was disturbing.

Looking over his shoulder, my eyes connected with brown eyes. No tears were on her delicate face, but half a smile. Maybe it wasn’t even a smile? I don’t know. I thought that I really knew who she was, but I was even able to wrong. Thinking ahead of myself is something I shouldn’t be doing, because the positive things I want in life could be negative.

I may never know how she truly felt about all this, but this was for the better. Sure I may go through life wondering what could have happened and I bet I will. Jealousy may cross my path again and that’s something that I’ll just have to learn to take control of.

I broke our gaze, while I reached out of his friendly hug and he clapped a hand on my shoulder. “You know, you truly are Mr. M.”

“That’s what I hear most of the time, when I was him.”

“Was? You’re retiring? Why?”

“It’s an option,” I muttered.

Several minutes later, when the crowd has disappeared and the cameras were gone for the excitement was over and friendship triumphed, Logan, Zoey, Michael, Lola, Quinn, and I were remaining there. Many questions were asked towards me from Lola and Quinn and I tried my best to give the honest answer. “So Chase, tell us the ‘truth’, why did you become Mr. M in the first place?”

My whole attention was on the fact his arm laid around Zoey Brooke’s shoulder where she had her head against him. I drew out of that detail though and responded. “Well Logan, some things in life are better to be left unknown just to bring true happiness, whether it’s to yourself or to others.”
