So,I got a new reviewer...:)

RandomWriter23- Well,thank you very much for liking this story,and reading. It means a lot. Like seriously. T-hanks for reading and reviewing,and being very positive about it:)

Hiiiiiiiiiii...okay. Here's an update. I've had a really hard time writing this for some reason. I know where I wanna go with story (partially...) but I'm having a hard time getting it to balance out everything.

On another reason I'm having trouble: I went to one of-no. I went to the forking best concert of my life on June 30th with my three best friends. BTR WAS JUST-I CRIED OKAY? James was right there in front of us...HE SANG TO US. They have to take our minds and just like...turn them to mush. But I'm completely fine with that.

I'm still getting surprised by how many views this story is getting. It gets me happy to know that not only people of Fanfiction . net read this story,but guests do too. I love you silent readers XD

Wow,I ramble A LOT. Kay,I'll shut up now...

ONTO THE CHAPTER!

Enjoy?

Logan thinking about what James had told him during P.E was making him frustrated. He didn't mean to make himself Carlos' problem,the latino rarely gets like this at people. But who knows why this set him off so bad. Logan really wants to make everything right,believe him when he says that. But he just can't. He doesn't know how. He means to talk face to face with Nicole about what they're doing. About why they're letting it happen,about why it doesn't feel awkward,about why they need to stop because of Camille.

Oh shit.

Camille.

She's coming home.

So now Logan's sitting on the floor against the wall by his locker thinking about all of this. The bell had rung a couple minutes ago,Nicole was probably wondering why Logan wasn't at her locker and on their way to her house for their daily tutoring session. -He didnt really think much tutoring was going to be happening...- He quickly got up rushing over to a different hallway and heading to Nicole's locker. When he saw her standing,and leaning on her locker playing on her phone,he smiled. All his problems can go screw themselves right now.

"Hey." He called out.

Nicole rose her head,and put her phone away. Pointing an accusing finger at him she spoke, "You're late,sir."

"I know,I know. But now,I'm here." Logan said simply,pushing Nicole to the doors to exit.

"Mhm." Nicole mumbled. They made a little small talk on the way,until Nicole spoke of her day, "Anyways,today in math class,we got this paper to do. I got paired up with this guy named Toby. He was re-"

"Toby?" Logan gritted out.

Nicole looked up at him,and furrowed her eyebrows at him, "Yes?" Nicole answered more like a question, "Toby.."

Logan rolled his eyes as they both reached the gates to Nicole's home, "Don't hang out with him." He said a little too harsh. Who knows what lies and such Toby could be planting inside Nicole's head.

"Excuse me?" Nicole asked while punching in the code to lock the gates again when they entered her lawn.

Logan opened the front door for both of them,and sighed, "Just...I don't want you to talk to him." He said as they both stepped into the home.

"Who the hell do you think you are telling me what to do?" Nicole snapped,putting her bag down by the staircase,and crossing her arms.

"Nicole,I'm not telling you what to do,it's just that..look,Toby isn't a nice guy. Im just say-"

"Toby is a nice guy." Nicole interrupted.

Logan scoffed, "Trust me,he's not."

"He was very kind today. I didn't see him do anything bad,or comment anything negatively." Nicole retorted.

"Nicole. Just,please,okay?" Logan pleaded,not wanting to make a big deal out of this.

"Logan,I'm sorry,but I don't see anything wrong with us just talking. We're just partners in class. You can't really tell me what guys I can and can't talk to,you're not my boyfriend." But as soon as Nicole said that,she regretted it. They both stopped talking immediately,and just stared at each other with worry filled eyes. It was awkward to say the least.

This is the time to...talk,isn't it?

"Nicole? I thought I heard you. Did you have a good day at sc-who's this?"

Nicole hesitantly looked away from Logan to see her father coming down to stairs. He wasn't dressed in a suit,nothing fancy. Just some..pajamas,actually, "Dad...dad? What are you doing here? You're supposed to be working.." Nicole asked with a quiet voice.

It was the first time Logan actually saw her father. Nicole had his brown hair,his nose,but she probably got the rest of her features from her mother..

Her father raised an eyebrow to Logan as he walked over to his daughter wrapping an arm around her shoulder,and dropping a kiss to the top of her head, "I asked for a half day. I wake up early every day for the same thing,so I actually deserve this. I thought it would be nice to spend the day with you." He spoke,still looking at Logan with a questioning look, "But anyways,who is this?" He asked,referring to Logan who was standing still with furrowed eyebrows,and hurt eyes.

"Um,this is Logan.." Nicole answered,looking at the ground.

"And Logan is?" Her father asked again.

"I'm her tutor,sir." Logan answered for himself. He stuck his hand out and stepped up, "Logan Mitchell."

"Mitchell.." He spoke quietly. But he finally shook Logan's hand in his, "Call me Mr. Shaw."

"I've read about you. Almost vice president of the 'Apple' company,right?" Logan asked stepping to his regular spot.

Mr. Shaw smiled, "Why,yes." He answered, "That's why we moved out here. The promotion would be in this company in California. Not New York,where we used to live."

Logan nodded slowly, "Um,well,if you were planning on spending the day with Nicole,I guess I can tutor her tomorrow?"

"No,no,you go ahead and tutor her. But what exactly are you helping her with? She has trouble with math.." Mr. Shaw spoke,

"I'm helping her in math. I sometimes help her with her literature,but mostly stay in the math area." Logan answered, "She's actually been doing better than she has at her other schools. She said so herself." He said,while hesitantly looking over to Nicole who was already staring at him.

"Well that's great! You're a keeper! Oh,before you guys get to studying,let me whip up a snack for you guys. Talking about food,would you like to stay for dinner,Logan?" Mr. Shaw asks.

But before anyone could answer,Logan's phone rang, "Sorry..I should answer this. It's my mom." He said as he answered, "Hey,mom..no,I'm at Nicole's. Yeah..for tutoring...well,I guess it didn't send to my phone...yes,it is very last minute. Okay,mom. I'll be there in a sec...love you,too. Bye." As he hung up,Mr. Shaw immediately asked, "Your moms name is Joanna,right?"

Logan's eyes went a little wide but nodded, "Yes...how do you know?"

"I just knew you were Joanna's son. Right when you said Mitchell,I remembered Joanna. You got her eyes." Mr. Shaw said with a smile.

Logan was still confused, "I'm sorry,but how exactly do you know my mom?"

Mr. Shaw laughed, "When your mom used to live in Texas and went to Wallaway High,I was basically one of her best friends. She was like my sister. But I moved to New York once I graduated. We didn't get the time to stay connected and all that. I'll have to meet up with her sometime..does she still know someone by the name of Jennifer?"

"Ohh...well,I'll let you surprise her with that news. But yes. Jennifer Knight. She's divorced now,but has two kids." Logan said with a slight laugh.

Mr. Shaw smiled,but pushed the thought of Jennifer aside, "I just knew Joanna and Alex would up together..you look just like him. Haven't seen him,either..how is he?"

Logan's smile faltered, "Um..he uh,he passed away...when I was five. Accident at his work."

"Oh,I'm so sorry,Logan." Mr. Shaw sympathized while Nicole just looked at him sadly.

"It's uh,its alright. You didn't know." Logan said quietly while rubbing at his neck, "Um,anyways..I'm sorry,but I can't tutor today. My aunt invited us last minute to my cousins graduation party. She gets really stressed out when she plans things,so I'm not surprised she forgot us." Logan added.

"Oh,okay then. It was nice meeting you,Logan. I'll see you next time?" Mr. Shaw asked. Logan smiled his way,and nodded, "Okay then. Take care." He told Logan. But then he turned to Nicole, "I'll go get some lunch ready for us,then we can do whatever you want. I haven't done anything with my daughter in a while." He told her. With one goodbye wave aimed to Logan,Mr. Shaw was off to the kitchen,leaving Logan and Nicole to stand awkwardly in the room.

"If you actually want me to come back to tutor you on Monday,or even want me to talk to you during school,text me. I'm sorry if I made you mad,or anything. I know you're not my girlfriend." Logan spoke as he reached for the door knob, "But sometimes,I wish you were." And without another glance to Nicole,Logan opened the front door,and exited the Shaws' home.

And Nicole stood there. Not saying a word,but just letting her heart drop to her stomach.

"Honey," Joanna began, "are you okay?" She asked her son who was currently sitting at the dinner table,picking at his food with his fork.

"Yeah,mom." Logan answered, "Just not that hungry."

"Logan. You've barley eaten anything." Joanna said sternly.

"Mom,I really don't want to eat anything. I just..can I please be excused? I just want to go to bed." Logan said a bit sadly.

"Honey,are you sure you're okay? I'm your mother. You know you can tell me anything." Joanna told her son as she got up to stand beside him. She ran her fingers through Logan's short spikes, "Logan,do you need to tell me anything?" She asked calmly.

Logan shook his head,while getting out of chair. He wrapped his arms around his mother,and closed his eyes,knowing that by just his mothers soothing touch,Logan would be okay.

For the night.

Unless he spills everything to his mom about his current problems,nothing would be fully okay.

So when Joanna rubs her hand in soothing circles on Logan's back,Logan just whispers a small, "I love you,ma." before heading off to his room.

And when Logan finally lays down onto his bed,the blankets up to his neck,he sighs and closes his eyes thinking that if his dad were still alive,his girl problems wouldn't be much of problems anymore.
