Chapter 10:

Louise didn't have much of a chance to comprehend what was happening. What started out as just a simple kiss, was growing into something more. Logan was on top of her, both mouths, and tongues engulfed by the other. Louise had her arms around his neck, while Logan had one hand on her waist, and the other underneath her shirt.

He bit her bottom lip, something that always turned her on. He felt a sense of pride when she moaned; still knowing every each of her body. He broke away from her mouth, and kissed down her neck, finding her soft spot. A jolt of excitement ran down her spine, she thrusted her hips up, feeling herself want him even more, especially when he began sucking on her neck.

What am I doing? She asked herself. When was the last time that I found myself laying on his bed, in this exact position?

She was unaware that the exact same thing was running through Logan's mind. Neither one of them had thought that they would get to relive the moments from high school. The exciting, secret, and adrenaline filled days. Though, they'd both admit to themselves, that while they never thought they would be doing this again, they always hoped.

Logan pulled away from her, cupping the back of her head, and locking eyes with her.

"Louise?"

"Logan?"

"Do you want to?"

Louise bit her bottom lip. She wanted to say yes, there was nothing she wanted more in that moment. But she didn't know if having sex with him was a good idea.

She threw the thought of her mind, and decided not to think about it. She was going to let her heat rule over her head, and if it turned out to be a bad decision then she would deal with it later.

She nodded, "yeah," and brought his lips back down to hers to keep him from questioning her decision.

They kissed for what felt like hours, long, glorious, beautiful, hours. He then pulled her shirt above her head, and kissed her stomach, moving up to her chest, and sucking on her breast.

Louise threw her head back, and moaned loudly, unaware of how loud she was being.

Logan could feel himself get harder the more she moaned. He wanted her, he needed her. He moved back to her lips, kissing her again, when his door flew open.

"Logan, sorry I wasn't home last-Oh."

Logan, and Louise jumped away from each other when Cynthia's voice erupted from the doorway.

Louise folded her arms across her chest, to hide her boobs, Logan noticed this, and quickly grabbed a pillow to cover her.

"Cynthia, what the hell?!" He bellowed. "You can't just barge into my room like that!"

Cynthia rolled her eyes, looking incredibly unimpressed, "this is my house, Logan. If you don't like it, move out."

It had been a while since Louise had seen Logan's bitch mom. Louise was taken aback at how awful she looked.

Her blonde hair was dry, and unkempt, there were bags underneath her eyes that were still sporting last nights makeup (maybe older), and her skin was pale, and blotchy.

Louise felt concern for someone who she actually hated. She was going to ask if she was okay, when Cynthia noticed her staring.

"Take a picture it'll last longer!" She snapped.

"Don't talk to her like that.!" Logan snapped back, bringing his mother's attention back to him.

"I thought you were done with her." Cynthia said, bluntly. "What is she doing back here, and why are you about to fuck her?!"

"Who I have sex with his none of your business, now get out!"

Cynthia rolled her eyes again, "alright, whatever, just get her out of my house, I don't want her back here."

At this point, Louise was raging mad, so of course, she couldn't stop her sarcastic comments from slipping out of her mouth. "Oh, it's nice to see you again, Cynthia! Good to know that after all these years, you haven't ruined your bitch reputation."

Cynthia narrowed her eyes at Louise, but didn't say anything. She grabbed the doorknob, and stared at her as she closed the door.

When she left, Logan, and Louise let out a breath that they didn't know they were holding.

He turned to Louise, "you okay?"

She shrugged, and moved the pillow away. "Nice to know your mom still hates me."

Logan shrugged, "it's okay, she hates me too."

Louise shook her head, "nah, you're her little boy, how could she hate you?"

Logan scoffed, "well, let's see, I barely passed high school, I decided not to go to college, and instead pursued a music career which leaves me eating nothing but McDonalds, and sleeping on stranger's floors."

Louise grinned, "it's only the beginning though. You'll make it big."

"I sure hope so."

They looked at each other without saying, both smiling, both feeling awkward, and in no mood to fuck.

So after a while, Louise sighed, and slipped the T-shirt over her head.

"Um, so, sorry to cut this short but uh, could you drive me home?"

Logan was relieved, not that he wanted her leave, but after having his mom walk in on them, he wanted nothing more than to keep her far away of the hell that was his home.

"Yeah! Yeah, sure," he stood up, feeling his jean pockets for his keys.

Louise also stood from the bed, eyeing the boy she was in love with all through high school. Though she'd never admit it to herself.

Could she see herself in this moment forever? Maybe not the exact moment when his mom walked in on them, but could she see herself waking up beside him, him driving her home the next day, and then kissing her goodbye? Would he even want that? He was going to make it big, she was sure of that. Wouldn't he want to date someone hotter? Someone that fit in with his band, and aesthetic?

Logan raised his eyebrows, as Louise dozed off. "Louise? You ready?"

Louise was snapped back to related, "uh, yeah! Let's go."

Veronica burst into Bradley's dressing room, something that Bradley had grown accustomed to in the short time he had known her. Despite this, it was getting annoying. What if he was picking his nose? Or farting? Or naked? Not that that mattered much anyway, Veronica had seen Bradley naked more than once now…No matter how many times Bradley promised himself he wouldn't do it again…

Bradley got up from the couch he was sitting on, and slipped his phone in his pocket.

"What do you want now?"

Veronica ignored his sour tone, and showed him her phone.

Bradley took it from her, unsure of what he was seeing.

"Um, what's this?"

"It's your romantic gesture!" Veronica beamed.

Bradley wrinkled his eyebrows, "what are you talking about?"

Veronica took her phone back, "look, it says that Bring Me The Horizon is going to be playing at Wonder Wharf-"

"What's Bring Me The Horizon?"

Veronica lowered her phone, and practically glared at him. Not only because he obviously didn't appreciate Bring Me The Horizon was, but also because he didn't even know his own girlfriend's favourite band.

"It's Louise's favourite band!"

"What no!" He took the phone back.

"What do you mean 'no'? Are you stupid?! How do you not know your own girlfriend's favourite band?"

"I don't know!" Bradley threw his hands up innocently, "how am I supposed to know?"

"Um, I don't know, it's on her Facebook. She is wearing a Bring Me The Horizon hoodie in her profile picture, and there are posters of them in her room."

"How do you know that?"

"Facebook! God I swear, you're so fucking stupid sometimes."

He sighed, "I just don't like metal music, okay? And I hate that she likes it so much. And she's the lead singer of a metal band, I just don't like it! I think she could do better."

Veronica raised an eyebrow, and had to keep herself from laughing, "you know, you are such a shitty boyfriend, but whatever, you're not dating me, so back to my plan!"

Bradley sat back down, and folded his arms across his chest, "I'm listening."

"Alright, so, Louise's favourite band is Bring Me The Horizon, so obviously she's going to go. And odds are that Logan will go too since he enjoys that band too. So, you hate metal music, as you have said many times, and I'm assuming Louise knows?"

Bradley nodded.

"Okay, great! So, what will happen, is that you'll go to this concert, just to find her. You'll find her, and tell her that all of the places she'd be, you'd knew she'd be there."

Bradley waited of her to go on, when she didn't, he felt confused. "Is that it?"

"What do you mean 'is that it'? This plan is genius!"

"How is that a big romantic gesture?"

"You being there in the middle of a mosh pit, at a metal concert that you don't want to be at will show her that you care about her enough to do something you hate."

"Yes, but…is that enough?"

Veronica groaned, "what did you have in mind?"

"I don't know…What if I purposed to her?"

Veronica didn't stop herself from laughing, "I wouldn't do that. Not in the middle of that crowd, anyway. Plus, what makes you think she'll say yes? You cheated on her remember?"

Bradley frustratingly ran a hand through his hair, "don't remind me, okay?! I just want her back!"

Veronica nodded, "yeah, and how many of your texts has she returned?"

"…None."

"Phone calls?"

He sighed, "none."

"Hmm, well, I guess I'm all you got."

Logan parked his car in front of Bob's Burgers, not wanting Louise to climb out. And she didn't, at least not immediately.

"Well, thanks for the ride home."

Logan smiled, "no need for thanks, just helping out a friend."

Louise raised her eyebrows at the word 'friend', but didn't question it.

"Well, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't say thank you?"

Logan nodded, "alright, touché."

She smiled, and ran a hand through her hair. "God, I almost forgot I was hungover."

Logan chuckled, "yeah? What made you forget?"

She smiled at him slyly, and never answered his question. The answer hung in the air between them.

They were silent for a moment, until Logan cleared his throat.

"Hey, so what are you doing later?"

Louise shrugged, "nothing much, really. Just hanging out at home probably, maybe hang out with my sister. She's super bummed about her love life right now, plus I haven't seen her in a while so…"

Logan nodded, "yeah, I understand."

Louise smiled, "why?"

Logan's face turned pink, making Louise want to laugh, but she bit her tongue.

"I uh," he rubbed the back of his neck, "I was going to ask if you wanted to go to wonder wharf, walk down the beach maybe? Not now, I gotta meet with the band, but maybe in the evening? Just…just hang out?"

Louise didn't answer right away, only hung to the fact that Logan was asking her on a date. While, he didn't actually call it a date, she knew that's exactly what it was.

She bit her bottom lip, "I'd love to."

Logan sighed "yeah?"

"Yeah! Believe it or not, I actually want to hang out with you!"

He laughed, "well that's a relief!"

Louise giggled, and put her hand on the door handle. "Well, I should probably go inside, my mom is probably wondering where I am."

Logan nodded, "alright."

Louise opened the door, and climbed out, "I'll see you tonight!"

"Yeah, and maybe then you'll tell me about your tattoo!"

Louise halted, "I would ask how you know about that but-"

"I knew about it before," he intruppted, "when I had to rescue you, last night."

"Ah," she nodded, "fair enough."

He chuckled, "see ya."

She slammed the car door, "see ya later, loser."

Logan couldn't remember the last time that he had felt so excited. Sure, he was excited when he finished high school, when he managed to tour across the country, and make some money doing music. But there was something different this time, he was giddy, and happy, and nothing could bring him down. Not even his mother who kept trying to call him, but he ignored all of her calls. He was on top of the world.

He arrived at Malcolm's place shortly after leaving Louise's place. With a huge smile on his face, he opened the door to his friend's house, and practically skipped in, catching the attention of all of his bandmates.

They all looked up at him, surprised.

"What's the matter with you?" Malcolm asked, as he tuned his bass.

"What are you talking about?" Logan asked, as he picked up his guitar that sat beside Malcolm's fireplace. He couldn't keep his guitar at home, not anymore. Cynthia had thrown one away once when she was mad about her son not going to post-secondary. While she did have the guts to apologize, he couldn't trust her around his instruments.

"You're like, vibrating happiness right now, dude."

Logan sat down on the couch, and slung the guitar strap over his shoulder. "Isn't that a good thing?"

"Are you and Veronica back together?" His other friend, Chad, who was sitting behind the drums, asked.

Logan pretended to barf, "are you fucking kidding me? I'm never going to talk to her again."

"You sure?" Malcolm asked, "you guys make a great couple!" he joked.

Logan rolled his eyes, can we just work on our new stuff, "what do we have so far? Where's Jake?"

Both Chad, and Malcom shrugged.

"He's probably running late." Chad answered.

Logan nodded, "alright, that's fine. New song, where are we at?"

Chad handed him a torn up notebook. "We got the music down, now all we have to do is work on the lyrics, I think you started but never got to finishing it."

Logan took the notebook from him, and read over the lyrics.

I know that the sex was great,

But I never want to see you again,

I'm not going to be here forever,

No matter how much you want me to be.

I need to go,

I want you gone.

"Holy shit," Logan muttered, "this is so mean."

Chad, and Malcolm eyed each other again.

Malcolm nodded, "well, you wrote it."

"I wrote it about Veronica," Logan answered an unsaid question.

He placed the notebook beside him, "kay, I don't want to use these lyrics anymore."

Malcolm nodded again, "what did you have in mind?"

"A love song?"

"A love song?"

"Yes."

"You hate love songs."

"I think it's a good direction to go in."

Malcolm smiled, "alright…why?"

Logan shrugged, "we don't write love songs. I think it would be a good change."

"Uh huh…"

Malcolm eyed Logan, making him feel uncomfortable.

"Umm, why are you staring at me?"

"You are either lying and got back together with Veronica, or you met someone else."

Logan was taken aback, "what are you talking about?"

"Dude, I may be dumb as fuck, but I know body language."

Logan scoffed, "is that so?"

"It's true! Plus, anyone could see it! You came in happy, practically skipping, you could've been whistling too, and now you want to change the break up lyrics, to love songs."

"Just because I'm changing the meaning of the song doesn't mean that I'm in love, or whatever. I just want to try something new."

"So you have met someone new."

"Can you please drop it?"

"Tell me."

"Tell you what?"

"Who it is."

"I told you it's no one!"

Malcolm was about to reply when Jake burst through the door, out of breath. Everyone looked up at him, shocked.

"What's wrong with you?" Logan asked, a bit too harshly.

Jake was too exhausted, to respond right away.

"I just-I-I saw something." He replied between breaths.

"Okay…what did you see?"

Jake took his phone out of his back pocket, unlocked it, and showed it to Logan.

Logan took the phone, and practically jumped from his seat.

"Holy shit!"

Malcolm, and Chad all stood up too, "what?! What is it?!"

Logan showed them the phone screen, "Bring Me The Horizon is going to be playing at Wonder Wharf!"

"Fuck!" Malcolm shouted, "they don't tour anymore do they? What are they doing here?"

"Who cares?!" Jake exclaimed, "they're playing here, and we'll have a chance to see them!"

Logan's heart leaped, and he quickly took out his phone to text Louise.

Louise! Did you hear?!

She didn't take long to respond.

Hear what?

He took a photo of Jake's phone, and sent it to her.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Haha. Your favourite band is going to be in town.

OH MY GOD! I'M FREAKING OUT

Lol. Louise, would you do something for me?

What is it?

Will you do me the honor of going to this concert with me?

Wow, you're such a loser.

So is that a yes?

Definitely

Logan slipped his phone back into his back pocket. Yep, nothing could go wrong.
