A/N: Okay, so here's another update, that was quick! Not really pleased with this chapter, but believe me, I do like the idea. However! More is on it's way, I just need your encouragement, and I can see you're reading, so just type in what you think and review, and the chances of me not giving up on this story are slightly smaller (:
Things had changed since Logan left, for where ever he was now. Lydia tried not to think about him, wondering where he was, but sometimes she simply couldn't help but to do so. Things were almost back to normal, except for the obvious fact that he wasn't there anymore. She had been spending a lot of time with Davis, and Jude for that matter, the twins had been great friends, or bad ones in her mother's opinion, since she didn't like her daughter out late at night drinking, or watching movies or whatever they did. Thank God that Brooke wasn't half as pessimistic as Haley, and let them stay up no matter the fact that it was a school-night
She liked hanging out at the Baker's house, it was like a second home to her by now, as Julian was away for work a lot, and Brooke was practically her crazy extra mom. Haley and Brooke had been best friends as long as Lydia could remember, despite their differences. Things had changed with Davis too, they had always been close, in a strange way, and it wasn't like she hadn't slept with him before, before Logan, but it was different back then. They had both been drunk, all those other times, and this was nothing like that. But then again, it wasn't like they were in a relationship either, at least not to her. It was nothing like being with Logan, but Davis was one of her best friends, and he kept her from feeling lonely.
Due to the fact that not even Jude knew, Lydia was pretty sure people weren't going to find out about the two of them at all, because as far as she knew, Davis and Jude didn't keep a lot of things from each other, but that was quite relieving for her. She wasn't really sure what she wanted out of it, people knowing, sure, maybe it was a step forward, but it meant truly moving on from Logan, and she wasn't sure she was ready for that, no matter how angry she was with him for leaving two months ago. They didn't talk about him, of course they didn't, that would be weird, but sometimes she wanted someone to acknowledge the fact that he existed. Nobody talked about him, at least not around her. Not even his parents, who came over quite often, mentioned him at all. And she wasn't stupid enough to bring it up, or even ask if he was okay. It wasn't like he wanted her to know, cause then he would've answered her texts. He wanted her to think he had never existed, so she tried acting like it.
It was rather inevitable, and she should have thought about the fact that Jude actually lived in the same house as Davis, and was going to find out sooner or later. She hadn't ever imagined that it would be a problem, but then again, what did she know? Of course he would walk in on the two of them making out, cause God forbid he would have the common sense to knock on his twin-brother's door before throwing the door open asking about some sweatshirt he thought Davis had taken from him. "Have you heard of knocking?" an obviously annoyed Davis exclaimed, staring at his quite stunned brother. Obviously Lydia had pulled away from the rebellious one of the brothers as soon as she heard the door open, but that hadn't been much help. "You.. disgusting slut!" Oh she had never seen that one coming from one of the nicest people she knew, but seconds away, the identical brothers were throwing punches at each other, finding out just how slutty she had been a couple of months ago.
After that things were even weirder, at least up until the point where Davis was getting over the fact that she had been with his brother, and up until Jude could understand that whatever was going on between Lydia and his brother was somewhat more serious than what had happened between the two of them that one time. As the days passed by, Lydia was pretty sure it was getting more serious by the day. She hadn't seen Davis with another girl for weeks, and it wasn't like she was interested in going back to who she had been before Logan. This was comfortable, what she had with Davis. It was easy, uncomplicated. Obviously their parents weren't much against it. Well, Nathan was going to have a problem with every boy she would ever date, but after Logan he seemed quite relieved about Davis, although he did make it pretty clear that he would've been happier about it if she had 'chosen' Jude instead. He was strange, her dad, but she had a feeling he intended to be a bit sarcastic sometimes. However, it was good having Nathan back to normal, talking to her, admiring his little princess.
Overall, things were actually easier without Logan around, but that didn't mean she didn't miss him, that didn't mean she didn't go crazy some of her lonely nights in her bedroom, trying to call him dozens of times just to find out that he was okay. She couldn't understand why he would just leave like that, without saying a word to her about it, without letting her know that he was fine, letting her know where he was and why he had left. Had it gotten to hard to stand? Had his thoughts gotten to him? It was probably that, his brain turning on him, blaming him, telling him that he had taken advantage of her, and that none of it had been real. That was what people, the ones who dared talk about him, told her. She didn't believe it though, she knew that what she and Teddy had was as real as it could possibly get. But maybe it was impossible, maybe he was to weak, proud, for it. She didn't know whether he would ever come back, and she soon realized that for her to ever be fine again, she would have to set her mind to it, try to consider never seeing him again.
So she did, she told herself he was gone forever, and that he wanted nothing to do with her. And when she finally believed it, it had kind of worked. She had changed her Facebook relationship-status, well she hadn't said she was in a relationship, cause they were way too sarcastic for that. So her Facebook now said she was in a relationship which was complicated, with Davis Baker, and that wasn't because it was complicated, it really wasn't. It was easy, fun, and Lydia had started to realize that she did love him. Perhaps not in the same way she had loved Logan, not as desperately, passionately, but in a relaxed way, in a simple way. It was getting hard for her to compare the two, perhaps this was better - more realistic. Since they were so alike, this was what both of them needed, it allowed them to be themselves, to focus on their goals, while not having to hide anything from people. Lydia Bob Scott tried telling herself that a normal teenage relationship with a boy too much like herself, who never called her Bobbie and who never got insane, was who she was meant to be with.
