[bonus LML :D] Love me, Logan #15

I fell asleep in the car for a while, when I woke up, Zack told me we still have an hour to go. I put my hands in my hoodie pocket and that made me remember the note Logan gave me. I took it out, smoothened it and opened it.

Karen
At the start, I never did pay attention to you. I never noticed you liked me that much. But it's Alexa. She's always messing with my head, and when we're together, every time I try to talk to you she will think that I don't want her anymore. She's kinda, disturbing in that way. That's why we break up and make up again. Now since I'm feeling the way you felt for me, I was too late. You have your own way now. I can't do no more but to let you go with Zack. So, whenever you need a friend, I'll be there. So, can we start over?
Logan

I felt the pressure he puts on the pen and paper on the back of the paper. I crumpled it slowly with my hands. He never told me this. He's such a friend. I never thought he's like this. It's also too late if I'm going to be with him. Not that I'm having second thoughts.

'Why are you crying?' Zack asked.

'I am?'

'What's that note?'

'It's from Logan,'

'What's with him?'

'He, said that he wanted to start over.'

'Oh.'

'Yeah.' I say straight on the car seat and wiped my tears. I folded the piece of paper and put it in my hoodie pocket. I took out my phone and decided to text him.

i guess we can start over...

10 Minutes later, I finally got the answer.

thanks. hey, im sorta busy. we'll talk later :)

He sent me a smile and I didn't reply.

Love me, Logan #14 Part Three [sorry my blogs take long, hehe]

I saw him standing up. He followed me to the back seat.

'Excuse me, uh, do you mind if I sit on your place?' he asked. I groaned.

'Oh, oh, she must be your friend. Okay,' said the man. Logan gave him a quick smile and sat on the seat which formerly planned not to be seated by him. I feel like smashing my head on the window next to me. And I'm all, 'Oh my God! Why must this happen?!'. I curled up my hand and having that feeling when you really wanna punch a person but controlling yourself. I hate the feeling. And I also hate the fact that I'm, well, nice. I mean, a lot of people say that I'm waaay too nice. Logan sat next to me. Looked at me. Did his what used to be irresistible hair flip and smiled. I still think he's cute and all. He's never ugly. I swear. But I'm hella owned anyways.

'Hey,' he said with the smile that used to make me go so crazy. I did nothing, I just waved, not like how I would wave to Jess or Zack, especially them, it's like those, hi-you-could-go-away-now waves. Or like the Kristen Stewart wave she would do on Twilight. Logan looked disappointed. 'Look, I'm sorry about before. I was desperate for an answer.' I just nodded my head but like in those yeah, whatever. With a forced smile. 'Karen,'

'Logan,' when I said his name his eyes were sparkling as if he knew I was going to say something nice. 'What do you want?'

'Isn't it that obvious?'

'Do we have to talk about it now?'

'Well, you were the one who asked.'

'I don't need an answer now,'

'Do you wanna come over to my place? Talk this out? Change some plans?'

'Logan, I've had enough. Seriously.' I said that when I knew the bus is going to stop. 'Bye.' I walked passed him with an annoyed face. I didn't know what he looked like when I said bye. I wouldn't wanna know anyway.

I went down the bus, put my hands in my hoodie pocket and walked home. I was surprised when I saw Zack in front of my house. I ran and hugged him.

'Karen, I asked your dad and he lets me drive you to my town.' he gave me a smile. I hugged him again as another way of saying 'okay'.

'So, what do you wanna do?'

'I don't know, don't matter.'

'Logan's been chasing me,' I took a deep breath, 'it's been a while. Well, not that long but how annoying it is made it feel long.'

'Do I have to talk to him?'

'No, I guess I'll give him another chance.'

'Sure?'

'Yea,' I said. Honestly I wasn't really sure of my answer. He kissed my forehead anyway.

'Oh yeah, get out of your house tonight at eight, there's a lil' surprise for you.' he said. Nothing came in my mind when he said 'Surprise'.

'Okay,'

'Wear a nice dress, your hair done, and high heels.' he winked at me. I was expecting a dinner or something. I nodded my head. He gave me a hug and told me he needed to go. So he left.


I walk to my house entrance. I kicked rocks that got in my way. I felt something weird. Something is coming to me. I ran and went in my house like a ninja.

I went up my room and chose a dress and heels. It was already 6 P.M., I had to hurry a little. I took a bubble bath even though I might be too old for it, I took out my hairdryer and dried my hair. It took me a while but I was satisfied with the result, then I put on my dress and heels. I took my purse that matched with my dress and went downstairs.

'Mom? Dad?' I called. All I hear was the echoes replying. 'Kyle?' but it all echoed. I went downstairs and went outside and locked the house door. I saw Zack's car there. I ran to it. But I almost fell 'cause I forgot I was in heels. Zack went outside and kissed me. He opened the door for me and told me I looked beautiful. The night is going well so far. Even though I do not know what is going to happen or where am I going to. He drove me to this restaurant. Looks fancy. He opened the door for me and beeped his car locked.

'Uh, you're kinda going to be blindfolded, if you don't mind.' he gave a nervous smile to me and took out a black cloth thing.

'Well, I do mind being blindfolded.' I said. he stepped behind me.

'Well, too bad. ' he chuckled and covered my eyed with the black cloth. He held my shoulders from the back, 'walk slowly, I'll guide you.' He sounds so comforting. I didn't feel a thing. Or actually heard a thing. When it felt like we're inside the restaurant, he gently took off the blindfold, and I saw a banner that wrote 'We're Going To Miss You Karen!' and all my friends gathered in that place, I never felt happier.

I walked to the crowd. 'No one told me about this,' I said. The crowd laughed a little.

'This was Jessica's idea.' said someone in the crowd. Then everyone started cheering for her.

'Jess...' I walked to her with amusement.

'Yes, Karen?' she answered me with a smile.

'I, I don't know what to say,'

'Well you're gonna say thank you later,' she said. The crowd chuckled. 'Well, why are we so still? Let's get this party started!' The whole crowd agreed. The DJ turned up the music and everyone started dancing. I made my way to Jessica.

'Jess, this is amazing. Thank you.'

'Anything for my best friend!' she hugged me tight. 'Nice dress,'

'Thanks. Zack told me to put one on so, yeah.' We both chuckled a little. 'Have you seen my parents?'

'Oh yeah, they're there. By the bar,' Jessica pointed at them.

'Thanks, I'll be right back.' I walked. Jessica started dancing with some friends. 'Mom,' I said.

'Karen!' me and mom hugged.

'I don't wanna leave here,' I started sobbing.

'Aww, it's okay. We can always visit here,' she said hugging me and rubbing my back.

'I don't wanna,' I started crying.

'Don't worry, Karen. You have Zack for a friend in Fairsville.' she said patting my back. I took a deep breath. 'Why don't you go talk to your friends, a little cheering up will do,' she smiled at me. I smiled back. I love my mom. I walked to the crowd. I saw Zack talking to some guys from my class. I grabbed his hand and leaned on him.

'Whoa, you guys are going out?!' said Chad. Loud enough to get the whole crowd's attention. Zack groaned.

'It's rude to stare, continue your thing.' I said in a high pitched voice. Zack chuckled a little. The people came back in doing what they were doing before.

'We are,' Zack said.

'Awesome,' said Chad. 'So, uh, we're gonna, you know, leave you guys, uh, alone , if ya know what I mean.' he gave us a wink and walked away with his friends.

'How's your night?' asked Zack.

'So far, pretty good.' I said.

'Let's get a drink,' he said. We walked to the bar. I guess our parents found out that we're going out. As long as they don't mind. When we ordered our drinks, Jessica stood on this little stage thing.

'Attention, people!' Jessica managed to get the crowd's attention. 'Tomorrow, a very good friend of ours will be leaving this town, to a town that is four hours away. A town where her boyfriend, which is also my cousin, Zack, lives. Tonight is her last night to stay. So, if you don't say goodbye, you will regret it. All though she will visit out town from time to time. There is a few minutes left until 11 A.M., so if you're going to "confess" to her about something, now's your chance!'

The whole crowd started talking and coming to me.

When the night passed. Zack took me home and he hugged me.

'I don't wanna go,' I said. I started crying again. Zack hugged me.

'It's gonna be alright, I promise you. Fairsville isn't that bad.'

'I still don't wanna go,' I placed my head on his chest. He brushed my hair with his fingers.

'Give it a try. It's only four hours away,' he paused, then breathed. 'Here, every month, if I have the time, I, might promise you I would take you back here. Only if I have the time.'

I chuckled a little, 'that will be great,' I hugged him. He kissed my forehead. Since it was late at night, Zack had to go back to his hotel, and I had to prepare for tomorrow.


I woke up at 7 A.M., I showered and I continued my packing. I looked at my room for the last time. I would kiss it, but, you know. I took one last look. A look that reminded me so much about my memories in this house. I grabbed my bags and brought it downstairs. I went back upstairs to look at every room. I looked at my parent's room. I remembered every time I had a nightmare, or just thunder or lightning, I would always feel safe, cuddled by my mom. I went to Kyle's room. I looked at it and remembered the time when we were jumping on his bed and I fell and got a bruise on my knee, Kyle placed a bandage on my knee. I went back downstairs to eat something. After a few more last look at everything, it's time to go.

I went outside, Zack was already there. So was Jessica, and Logan. Zack took my bags and put it in his car. I went to Jessica first.

'Jessica, you are the most amazing best friend I have ever had. You were always there for me. Even when were separated by a distance. You never cease to please me. I love you.' I hugged her so tight, tears started running down our faces.

'I love you too, and I promise, I will always be there for you no matter what.' We let go of our hug and looked at each other. She was wearing the shirt I got her. I was wearing the shirt she got me. We hugged again for the the last time.

I went to Logan. He didn't say anything. He just gave me a piece of paper. Then he walked away. I didn't even get to say goodbye. Even as a friend. I went to my parents.

'I'll be with, uh, Zack.' I said wiping my tears.

'Well see you lata!' said Kyle.

'Yeah, later.' I crumpled the note from Logan in my hand. Zack opened the door for me and I went it. Mom and dad went first.

'Are you ready to go?' asked Zack.

'Yea,' I nodded my head. Zack started driving. I saw Jessica waving at me. But she quickly faded away from my vision. I took a last look at the town. I put the note Logan gave me in my hoodie pocket. Zack smiled at me.

'It's gonna be okay,' he said.

Continued?! You still need to find out the letter Logan gave, right? ;]

Love me, Logan #14 Part Two

'Girl, don't tell me you're going emo.' Jessica said. She sipped her coffee and held the cup tight.

'No, I promise. He's not emo.'

'He is,'

'He only dresses emo. He's like obsessed with My Chemical Romance and someother emo bands. Doesn't make him a real emo, right?'

'I still can't believe you're dating him. My cousin. '

'Psh. What do you wanna do later?'

'It's your last day, well, not really but still. I need to get you something.'

'Jess, I'm the one who's leaving, I, need to get you something.' I said with a smile.

'Whatever. I'm still getting your something. Where to?'

'Mall. Duhh.'

'Okay. So like, we go to the mall and split up for half an hour to look for gifts for eachother. 'Kay?'

'Okie.'

We grabbed our bags and coffee and we fast walked out the door. We fast walked to the mall too. We stopped in front of a shop.

'We'll meet here in,' Jessica checked her clock, 'five thirty.'

'Okay, I'll go this way.'

'Later,'

So, I guess I know what I am going to get for her. A book. I know she doesn't like reading much, but I just got this book and I am hooked. I read it five times-ish. Since we have the same taste for genres, I'm getting her Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick.

I ran to the book store. I saw a lady tidying up the books on a book rack. I tap her back.

'Escuse me, do you have Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick?'

'Oh, yes we do. Come,'

I followed her. She took a book and showed it to me.

'This one?'

'Yes, thank you.' I said with a smile. I walked away to the cashier. I payed for it and went to search for something else. I still have twenty minutes. On my way out, I saw Logan. Well, he saw me first.

'H--' he 'almost' said. I pointed a finger and was about to say hi too. But he put on a long face and walked pass me.

'That was weird,' I softly said. I forgot about it and walked in a boutique. Maybe I'm getting her a pair of ripped jeans. She always wanted one. I knew her size, so it's easy. I saw one that she would like, I took it and purchased it. I don't care how much money I'm wasting [for my best friend]. =]

I looked back for no reason, I saw Logan in a hoodie. I looked back to the cashier. My heart started pumping. I might need to call Zack or something. I took my phone and I faced away from Logan. Making an exit, I dialed Zack's number. But he didn't answer. I walked faster. I looked back, Logan was following me. I started running. He ran too. I looked back. 'Stop following me!' I yelled. He started running faster. I ran faster.

'Why can't you love me instead of Zack?!' he kinda yelled. 'Why, Karen?' I noticed people started looking at us running from eachother. I stopped because of a dead end. Logan stopped and covered me with his arms.

'Let go! Let go!' I pushed him off me.

'Why? Can't you give me a good reason?' I looked next to me and saw a door. The door I was praying for. The door to the girl's toilet. I looked down to his 'lower' part. No, I was going to kick it because of my anger. But no. I ran to the girls toilet with him following me. As he noticed the sign, he stepped back and closed his eyes. The door was still open and some girls started screaming. Logan stepped back and kept his eyes shut. I started breathing heavily. I went to the sink and washed my face. I walked out the door. He's gone. And ten minutes left. I'm gonna get Jessica and me matching t-shirts. I tried to find the store, it was closed. Meh. I noticed the store next to it was a design-your-own-shirt. I walked in the store. I wanted a picture of cookie monster on it!

I chose two blue shirts that I know will fit us. I chose a picture to be printed on it. I told the guy what I want and in like, five minutes, it's done! I like the results. So I payed and ran to the place we are suposed to meet. I noticed Jess standing there. 'Sorry I was late!' I stopped my self right in front of her.

'It's okay. Switch shopping bags, 1, 2, 3!' we switched our shopping bags. She got me a necklace that wrote Friend on it, and a shirt that wrote Jessica's. Awww. 'I got you a necklace. I have best and you have friend!' Jess said with a smile. I smiled back and hugged her.

'I got us matching shirts. Cookie monster on it!' I said. She took out the shirt and her mouth was open.

'Awww! I'm going to wear it at your farewell.'

'My what?'

'Nothing!' she said. I got curious. I never did set up a farewell party? Oh well.

'I got you the jeans you wanted,' I said. She took them out and she hugged me.

'Thank you!'

'And I got you a book.'

'A book?'

'I know you don't like reading, but it's a really good book.'

'I'll read it, don't worry.' she said with a smile.

'I love you, best friend.' I hugged her again. Jessica's phone rang. She quickly picked it up.

'Hello? I'm with Karen. Oh, oh, okay, bye. Karen I have to go.' Jessica's long face appeared.

'Why?'

'My uncle came, and I need to have dinner with him.'

'Awww. You have to go then.' my long face appeared to.

'Bye,' she hugged me tight. I hugged her too. I waved at her as she made her exit. I took my phone with me. I walked to a bus stop. A bus came and I went inside. I saw Logan there. I made my way to the back seat trying not to look at him. I took a seat that has a person sitting next to me in order not to have Logan to follow me again.
