The brunette and the blond go into Jasmine's car to go to Rumble Juice. When they pulled into the parking lot Jasmine made a confession.

"I never broke up with Owen!"

"Huh?" Logan was confused. Who's Owen? Oh my God. Her boyfriend. I totally forgot she had one.

"My boyfriend, Owen," Jasmine deadpanned. Jasmine had been meaning to break up with Owen ages ago. All he does is talk about eating healthy and wheatgrass. I'm all about being healthy, but I love the occasional popcorn, candy. I've kinda been planning breaking up with him for a while now."

"Really?" Logan was interested. Now that he remembered Jasmine never was single, he could make a move. She has to like me back. I mean, that kiss. It was…good. Hard to describe. "W-why?"

Jasmine shrugged, "We never had much in common. He was a total health freak. He made me throw away all my Oreos, popcorn, chips, soda, anything non-organic basically. I swear those sugar-free days were the hardest days of my entire life!"

Logan laughed at Jasmine's story. It was upsetting to Logan that the guy she was dating was the same as the others. They never appreciate you for the way you are. I would.

"Thanks," Jasmine's cheeks flushed red.

"What?" Logan snapped out of his daze.

"I know you would," Jasmine said, "you know, appreciate me."

Shoot, she heard me out loud, Logan thought to himself this time. "Yeah, I just remember you talking about your exes. He should let you be yourself."

"I know."

Silence.

"I think we need to stay friends," Jasmine blurted out, "don't take this the wrong way but, I want to get to know you better. And, I want you to get to know me better." What the hell am I saying?

"I understand," Logan said, "and I would like that." What the hell am I saying?

"Do you want to go get a smoothie?"

"As long as you get one you like."

Jasmine laughed at his comment. To Jasmine it made the most sense if the two of them just stayed friends. With Owen and her other boyfriends it was like they rushed into it. And as a result, her likes and their dislikes of her likes came as a surprise to the both of them. She wanted to take it slow this time. Try something different for someone different. Hopefully, if my plan goes the way it should, we could end up together one day. Only time will tell.

The pair walked into Rumble Juice. Jasmine sat down and Logan went to order their smoothies. Jasmine started to check her Tumblr feed when a hand touched her shoulder. She turned her head quickly to snap at the unwelcome stranger. But, who she saw was someone she wasn't a stranger but felt like one.

Owen?

"Owen?"

"Hey, Jasmine." Owen smiled meekly. A face that one makes when they've known they've done someone wrong.

"What do you want?"

Logan paid for their smoothies, only to find that Owen and Jasmine were making a less than amicable conversation.

"What's going on here? Logan asked the two of them.

"What's it to you?" Owen challenged. Jasmine sensed the heat and tension rise. And she wasn't one to act like a damsel in distress.

I'm Jasmine Freaking Kang. I can stand up for my own damn self.

"Back up, Owen," Jasmine warned, "Logan and I were doing just fine without you coming here to try and ruin everything. You don't have to stay. You can leave."

"Jazzy," Owen cried Jasmine cringed at the sound of that disgusting pet name.

"We're over, Owen. I'm tired of you trying to change me. I'm tired of you using me as a trophy. And you know what else Owen? I'm tired of you making promises you can't freaking keep. Leave me alone."

Owen flared his nose. He looked to Logan and looked at Jasmine.

He went over and put his face in front of Logan's. "Good luck with this whore," he spat, "She gets uglier with age. Inside and out."

Jasmine appalled at what she heard, and being a strong woman, stood up in between the two boys and slapped Owen in the face.

"You disgusting, two-faced bitch." She jabbed her pointy nail into his chest. "Get the hell out."

Logan admired Jasmine's strength to stand up against her abuser. They sat down at a table and began to sip on their smoothies.

"Jasmine?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. It felt good to take charge. I am a strong woman after all."

They laughed and talked as if there wasn't a big freaking elephant in the room.


A/N: Hello, everybody! Sorry I didn't post on Friday, I was so passed out. Stories might come a little slower because a freaking hurricane is coming on Monday. Power might be out. But, it's not a big deal. I'm not sure about the amount of damage this thing will cause, but I will try my hardest to post as soon as possible. Also, this chapter is based of a Lana song (ugh, love her) Driving in Cars with Boys.

Remember: Review, Favourite, and come back for another chapter (hopefully) next Friday!
