The morning after Erin and Lily's big fight, the house was oddly quiet. Seth, who knew about the tension between his two sisters, decided that staying in his bedroom was probably for the best. Both girls tried that tactic as well, but it didn't really work out for them. Around noon, Erin went downstairs to grab a drink of water and came face to face with a still angry Lily.
"I-I was just thirsty." Erin stuttered out.
"Yeah, I'm sure you were." Lily spat out nastily before walking past her and making sure to bump into her. Erin rolled her eyes. She knew what Lily meant by thirsty and she didn't mean that she wanted something to drink. This was absolutely ridiculous. The farthest that she and Logan had ever gone was kissing and that was as far as Erin would take it for a very long time. Erin felt like she just needed to get out of the house. Then as if on cue, she got a text from Logan.
Logan
Hey wanna meet me at the park?
Erin
-Sure. Anything to get out of this house :l
Logan
-Great! See you soon.
So, Erin went to her room and pulled on an extra sweater and her pair of converse. She walked down the hallway and knocked on Seth's door. "Hey, I'm heading out, but I'll have my cell phone if you need anything, or Lily is downstairs." Erin told him.
"I'll be fine." Seth replied. "Go and have fun." Erin smiled and was about to leave before Seth called her name. "Don't worry about Lily. She'll forgive you eventually. You just have to let her get her anger out first."
"I hope so." Erin replied before shutting Seth's door softly and then walking downstairs. Lily was lying on the couch in the living room and made sure to give Erin a bitch glare, a talent she had learned from her own father, as she watched Erin walk out of the house. Erin got outside and began walking down the block. The park wasn't that far away from her house, but it was so cold outside that it felt like forever until she made it to the park and saw Logan sitting on a wooden bench. He waved and smiled brightly at her as she approached him.
"Hey," He said softly as Erin walked up to him.
"Hey," She replied as she sat down next to Logan. Just being with Logan made her feel so much better. She leaned into his side and he put his arm protectively around and kissed her on the forehead.
"Why didn't you tell me it was your foster sister who had a crush on me?" Logan asked.
"I don't know." Erin sighed. "Part of me was selfish and wanted you just for myself and the other part...was too insecure to believe that if you had the choice, that you'd really pick me over Lily."
"Hey, look at me."Logan told her. "You are the most beautiful, intelligent, and funny girl that I have ever known and if I had the choice between you and Lily or you and any other girl in the world, I would still pick you." Erin blushed and smiled. She really did have the best boyfriend in the world.
"I just feel so bad." Erin said. "I feel like I betrayed her. We were getting along so well and now we're not. What if Kurt and Blaine ship me off to some other foster home? It's not like they'd get rid of Lily. She's their real kid. What if I have leave you?"
"You should not feel bad about this. It wasn't your fault." Logan replied. "You didn't force yourself on me. We...we fell in love and I don't feel the way that I do for you about Lily. It's unfortunate, but her heart was going to be broken either way." Erin nodded sadly. She believed Logan, but that wouldn't help repair her relationship with Lily. "Come on, you just need to have some fun. Come with me." Logan said as he took Erin's hand in his and lead her deeper into the park. "You know, some good things did come out of this."
"What's that?" Erin asked.
"Now, I can hold your hand in public and I can drive you home everyday. We can kiss in the hallway." Logan said. "We don't have to be a secret. We can be like any other normal couple now."
"Yeah, I guess we can." Erin replied. After a few minutes of walking, they came upon an ice rink. "We're at an ice rink?" Erin asked.
"Yeah, so we can go ice skating." Logan said. "That is what normal couples tend to do on an ice rink."
"Logan, I don't-I don't think so." Erin said nervously.
"Why? It's fun!" Logan exclaimed in protest.
"I've n-never been ice skating." Erin replied quietly.
"I'll teach you." Logan told her. "It's really not that hard. I promise. Just trust me. " Erin let out a nervous sigh before she followed Logan into the rink and they rented two pairs of skates. Then they sat down on the benches to lace up their pair of skates. Logan had his tied in a matter of seconds, while Erin struggled to even get hers on her feet. Once she did, she had no clue how to lace them up. "Let me help." Logan offered. He knelt down in front of her and quickly laced up her skates. "Part one of your training...standing up in skates." he told her as he reached out both of his hands and grabbed onto Erin's. She stood up from the bench and immediately almost fell over, but luckily Logan caught her. "Whoops, I've gotcha." he laughed.
"Logan I can't do this. I'm not even on the ice yet and I'm falling." Erin whined. "I"m going to end up killing myself. I should quit now."
"No, come on! You can't quit before you actually get on the ice." He told her. He led her over to the opening of the ice rink and stepped onto the ice with ease. "Now, it's your turn. Just take it one leg at a time." Erin stepped out onto the ice and then slowly got the other foot on as well. "Look at you standing up on the ice!" Logan said sarcastically.
"Shut up!" Erin joked. "I hate you."
"Don't hate me just yet. At least wait until you've fallen at least once." Logan told her. "Okay, so now all you have to do is move your feet forward." Erin began to move her feet. Each movement was shaky and she felt like she was going to fall. They got halfway around the ice rink and Erin was doing a lot better. "You're practically a professional." Logan said. Slowly, he began to take his hands away from her.
"Logan! Don't you dare let go!" Erin yelled. "I'm going to fall!"
"You're ready to do this by yourself. I said to trust me. Remember?" He said as he pulled his fingers from hers. "Just do it like you were before." he told her. Erin began to move her feet and she was actually moving forward.
"I'm doing it!" Erin exclaimed.
"Woohoo! Go Erin!" Logan called as he sprinted ahead. Erin, feeling confident, decided to try to skate faster, but that was a big mistake. She ended up losing her balance and crashing down onto the hard ice on her butt. Logan immediately skated over to her.
"Are you okay?" Logan asked.
"Yeah," Erin breathed out. "My butt is wet." she laughed.
"In the words of you, that sounds like a you problem." Logan shot back.
"Jerk! Help me up." She told him. Logan extended his hands towards her and then pulled her up onto her feet.
"Skate with me?" Logan asked. Erin nodded as she held Logan's hand and they began to skate around the ring. Hours passed by, but it didn't feel like that. Only forever would ever be enough time for the two of them.
"Crap, it's four o'clock." Erin said. "I should really get home. Someone has to feed Seth and it probably won't be Lily."
"Okay, let's go return our skates." Logan said as the two of them skated over to the exit. They returned their skates and then began walking through the park to get back to Erin's house. As time went on it got colder and colder and Erin began to shiver.
"Here. You look cold. You can wear my jacket." Logan said as he took off his heavy black Northface and placed it over Erin's shoulders.
"Thanks." Erin replied. "I'm glad we did this. It was really fun."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Logan replied. "Any time that I'm with you is fun for me." Then, before Erin could respond they came to her house. There was loud music blasting that echoes through the entire neighborhood. Trucks and cars were parked all over the street and the lawn. It looked like every single light in the house was on.
"What the hell?" Erin said as she ran towards the house with Logan close behind her. Once inside the house, she saw that everyone was drinking. There were empty red plastic cups all over the place, a keg was sitting in the corner of the living room and numerous beer bottles littered the floor.. Suddenly, she spotted Seth coming towards her. She pulled him into her arms.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Seth replied. "Lily invited all these people and they're all drunk."
"Why didn't you call me?" Erin asked.
"One of them took the house phone." Seth replied. "I have no clue where it is."
"Okay, well, you're okay now." Erin told him. "Have you seen Lily?"
'Last time I saw her, she was in the kitchen letting people lick her stomach. I think she has salt on their. It looked gross.." Seth replied. Erin sighed. Body shots were absolutely disgusting.
"Okay, you stay here. I'll go deal with Lily." Erin told him. "Logan, can you please watch him?" Erin asked.
"Yeah, sure." Logan replied. Then, Erin began to push her way through the crowds of people in her house until finally she made it into the kitchen. She saw that Lily was lying across the table. She was wearing black leather shorts and just a bra, because people were licking salt off of her stomach as they did shots. It looked disgusting. Erin walked over to Lily and tapped her on the shoulder.
"What are you doing here?" Lily demanded, slurring her words because of how drunk she was.
"I live here!" Erin shouted back over the music. "What is all of this? Are you crazy? Your dads' are going to kill us."
"They're not even coming back until tomorrow night. We'll have it cleaned up before they get back." Lily slurred. "So, shut up and just drink."
"No, We're both seventeen." Erin said. "I'm pretty sure all these kids are underage. We could get arrested!"
"So what!" Lily yelled back. "I don't give a fuck!"
"Well I do." Erin replied. She went over to the stereo and turned it off. "Everybody has five seconds to get out of here before I call the police!" Erin shouted. Then when no one moved, Erin shouted, "Now! People started to move towards the door and leave. When they were all out, the house looked like a complete mess.
"Why did you do that?" Lily screamed. "I hate you! I wish you would have never come to live with us! Your family didn't want you and neither do we! Why don't you do us all a favor and just get the fuck out of here!" Lily shouted before stomping upstairs. With tears in her eyes, Erin turned to Logan and ran over to him. He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly as she cried.
"Shh, shh, It's okay." Logan soothed. "She didn't mean it. She's just angry and drunk." Erin went to speak but she was cut off by another voice that sounded very angry.
"What the hell happened in here?" roared Blaine as he and Kurt walked into the living room and dropped their bags onto the floor.
A/N: Haha I'm such a bitch. Cliffhanger for you guys!
