A/N: Okay readers, I realize that Lizzie has turned into a tramp/skank/really easy, but I wanted it to be more ironic after her long relationship with Gordo. Now, she may seem overly skanky, but she reached a point in her life where she didn't want to be scared to do things. And for those who loved Corey, he'll be back!!! No worries there, and for those who love Logan-he's staying for awhile. Just bare with me as we get through this story together!
We reached his front door and I stopped-what was I getting myself into? Did I really want to go into this stranger's house? Sure I knew him, but I didn't really "know" him. I had just met him this week and I was already following him into his house. I'm not a slut or a whore and I shouldn't be following him into his house.
As if reading my mind Logan turned to me and began to speak, "Look Lizzie, I invited you in to show you something-not get down your pants. Relax, my parents are home anyway! I'm not that kind of guy!" he began to laugh and I loosened up following him into the house. He led me straight into his garage and it was pretty amazing at how roomy it was.
The garage was carpeted much like a side apartment. In the corner there was a single bed with a nightstand and a couch not far away. Near the garage door was a mic set up with a drum set, a guitar and a bass. I studied the brightly painted walls and made my way over to relax on the beaten up sofa.
"Nice place you've got here," I complimented to Logan as he sat down beside me.
"Yeah, when I was in high school, my band use to come play here. Now when we come home on holidays, we still jam. My buddies at UCLA sometimes come over to visit on the summer holiday and we like jam all night long. Of course this place is a real chick magnet!" he joked and I laughed as well. He stared into my eyes and his expression softened. He kissed me lightly on the lips then pulled away.
Standing up he rubbed his hands together, "okay, are you ready?"
Confusion streaked across my face I stood up as well, "for what?"
"To sing of course," he opened his garage door and in piled some friends who picked up the bass and sat at the drum set. Another guy came in with a guitar and stood at the set up. Logan picked up a guitar and stood at the mic motioning me over.
"Whoa," I said walking over to Logan.
"You're right man-she's totally hot! I hope she can sing!" the drummer said loudly while his buddies high fived him.
"What am I supposed to sing?" I asked looking from guy to guy.
"Here," Logan handed me a piece of paper with lyrics and then the group began to jam. Logan began to sing the song and I just listened in amazement at his completely attractive singing.
Quickly and with Logan's motioning I joined in with the chorus, "Love ain't the only thing worth living for, rock and roll just keeps us alive. Lovers come and go but rock with never die!" The members stopped playing as I wailed the last sentence of the chorus. Not realizing they had stopped playing I continued to sing and when I didn't hear Logan's accompaniment I turned around to face the band. "What?" I smiled embarrassedly.
"You were so awesome!!!" the all yelled at once. I smiled happily and stood there ready to sing more.
"Okay guys, how about we play my favourite song?" Logan asked the group and they nodded in agreement. With the drummer counting off they began to play Zombie by the Cranberries and I joined in almost immediately.
"Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?"
The band looked over at me as I rocked with them and continued to play happily. Logan continued to sing with me and played the guitar solos amazingly.
"But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou..."
I stopped singing to allow the band to rock out for awhile and stepped back watching as they played so awesomely.
"Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.
It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a..."
After the song finished we all clapped for each other and Logan kissed me passionately. "That was incredible-you are by far the coolest person I have ever met!" he pulled me into a hug and kissed my cheek. We sang a few more songs then relzed with a beer on the couch.
"So Liz, how long have you been singing?" Kevin the bassist asked.
"Oh for awhile. I guess just a lot-I'm actually in the music program at UCLA," I said then my look saddened as I thought of Corey. What had I done? Why did I mess things up when they had been so great.
I knew what I had to do to fix things-I needed to talk to Logan then Corey. "Logan, can I talk to you alone for a minute," I said getting off the couch and motioning outside.
"Yeah sure Liz," he said following me. We walked a bit down the street before I began.
"Okay, now I know that we've really hit it off these past few days-and I've had a complete blast with you, but," I paused.
"Oh the dreaded 'but'!" he joked and rolled his eyes to the ground.
"Yeah, you are amazing and I totally want to stay in your band-but this whole relationship thing didn't start right! And I realize it was both our faults, but I belong with Corey. At least for now! And I realize you probably hate me now, this is just the way it has to be. It won't be weird will it?" I asked seeing his eyes travel up to my face.
"You're right Liz, we shouldn't have started the way we did and you should patch things up with Corey. Just know that if things don't work out, I'll be around. We will be seeing a lot of each other with the band and all." He mentioned moving a piece of hair out of my face.
"I know, I just need to be with Corey right now-if he'll have me. I need to let things run the course with him and if it works out, great and if it doesn't then that's fine too. You're not my second choice-but he was there with me first and we've been through a lot together. I hate myself for cheating on him-his girlfriend in high school cheated on him and I'm like the biggest asshole for doing that to him!" I looked down at the ground and Logan lifted my chin back up to face him.
"Liz, we all make mistakes-it'll be okay-he'd be a fool not to accept your apology! I promise things will be fine-besides I feel bad about Alana and I need to talk to her-she wasn't crushed or anything, but I need to smooth things out in person. Have no fears Liz, things will be good!" he gave me a friendly hug then drove me home. As we arrived at my door I saw a figure sitting on the front steps. I said goodbye to Logan and headed to the door. He drove off with a wave and I approached the figure.
"Hey. Listen, I know I messed up but I want you back! I'm so sorry!" I began to cry and he took me into his arms.
"Liz, I'm sorry too! Things were just so great and I don't know what happened!" he pulled away and looked into my eyes, wiping away my tears.
"It's my entire fault! It started out with a kiss when I was drunk and then I don't know what happened either! I never slept with him I promise!" I cried putting my hand on his cheek.
"Liz, there's something I have to tell you," he looked down at the ground and shifted his weight.
"What?" I asked confused.
"I slept with Andrea!" he said barely audible, but I did hear him.
"You slept with her?" I looked away and sat down on the steps.
"I was angry and wanted to get back at you! We are quite the pair aren't we?" He said half joking half sincere.
"Yeah we are, but YOU SLEPT WITH HER!!!!!" I screamed a little out of control.
"I'm sorry Liz-but don't turn yourself into the victim-you started this! You're the one who had the hots for that guy at the party" he screamed back.
"But you slept with her! Corey-I only kissed Logan! And for you're information-yeah I did like him but I broke it off for you! I wanted to give us a chance and figure out if we fit together-but obviously we don't! Oh side note buddy-I'm in his band and I'll be seeing lots of him and we'll always be together! Do you think your jealousy can handle that!" rebutted.
"Oh Liz," he laughed and I just got angrier. "You broke it off for me! That was the sweetest thing, but news flash-I don't want you! We were too boring together-I'm not so innocent myself. I lied to you, about you being my first-hell I'm a hot guy and very experienced. I only put up with this relationship to get some! Took you long enough! And I've been sleeping with other girls the entire time!" he said casually. I was so caught with anger I slapped his face with all my might.
"You lied," I began to cry and turned away from him.
"Hell, I was hoping to have some make up sex here-but whatever, you weren't that good anyway!" he screamed and stalked off to a car down the road. He sped off down the road in a mad rage and left me sitting in hisdust-so to speak!
A/N: Okay, so I added that stuff about Corey because I mean no one is perfect and I always felt he should turn out to be a jerk. Now Lizzie appears as the idiot for dating the creep. Poor Lizzie has to now deal with her feelings for Logan without running straight into a relationship with him. Will Logan be the man of her dreams? Will they ever get together again? What about Logan and Alana? Will Lizzie have to pretend or start dating someone else to keep up her shirade in front of Logan? Send me your thoughts- all in due time shall be revealed!
