I walked into my house as if I was some kind of zombie-ha it's ironic how I had just sung that song only a few hours ago. Onward I walked up the stairs and into my bedroom. I fell onto my bed and was asleep within no time.
The next few weeks sped by-I pretended to be happy around my family and ignored my feelings of hatred towards Corey. Logan tried calling me to hang with the band-but I ignored those calls until two days before I had to go back. The phone rang as I slumped on my bed-it was Friday night and I was in my pajamas. I answered the phone not even checking the number.
"Hello," I said waiting for a reply.
"Hey Liz, its Logan, where have you been?" he asked concerned.
"Around-I've just been going through a lot." I answered generally and lay back in my bed.
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked. There was a long silence before I answered.
"I guess so...why don't you come pick me up in an hour and we can walk and talk," I suggested and with a quick approval we hung up the phone. I dressed lazily, pulling my hair into a messy ponytail and swiping on some lip gloss and mascara. I waited by the door until finally he came. Without a word I walked outside passed him and he followed soundlessly.
A bit down the street he pulled me to a halt and I turned to face him. "What's wrong Liz?"
"I-well, Corey turned out to be a real asshole and was using me for sex when really he had other girls. Ironic because he was so smart and didn't seem like the kind of guy-considering we spent so much time together-I should have seen this coming!" I said with one breath.
"Oh Liz-I'm sorry to hear that!" he pulled me into a tight hug and we talked a bit more that night. As we walked back to my house we stopped at a park to sit on the bench and watch the stars.
"You know Liz, I Corey is just a jerk to have done that to you! I mean-he's stupid to have played with your emotions," Logan concluded during our talk.
"You know, you're right-I deserve better! I don't know what's wrong with me though. When I was with Gordo I wanted our relationship to be perfect so I didn't let it get physical-well sex wise. And look where that got me-dumped! Then when I give into my boyfriend who tells me he's inexperienced like me-he dumps me for cheating on him-hypocrite. And his other reason was that I argued with him about lying! Now you-I screwed that up when I let you go! I mean what is wrong with..." I was cut off when his lips crashed to mine. I didn't let go, but held onto that kiss until our lips parted and the kiss turned deeper. We sat there on the bench kissing in the chilly air. I shivered as we pulled apart and Logan took off his leather jacket wrapping it around my shoulders.
"Lizzie, you never lost me-I was just put on hold. I knew you needed to organize your life first-besides I get to see you a lot because of the band-I'd go crazy not being able to kiss you!" he smiled and it made my cheeks red.
"You are the sweetest guy I have ever met! I don't understand how I deserve you-you actually let me figure my life out-you waited for me!" I kissed him passionately and we snuggled on the bench together.
"Liz," he began between kisses.
"Yeah?" I pulled away to look at him in the eyes-to study his face. I wanted this relationship to work out so I was going to be very careful with what I did.
"I think we need to go home now," he looked at his watch and jumped off the bench.
"Why?" I laughed casually at his frantic state.
"Because it's 3 am and my flight is at 7am today," my eyes bulged as he said the time. I was frantic myself now freaking out.
"How the hell did we stay out till 3 am? My family is going to murder me!!!" I shouted as we began to run down to my house. We were only a block or two away. As we ran to my door, Logan gave me a quick kiss and I stepped inside noiselessly and padded gently up the stairs to my room. I made it to my bedroom successfully and went to bed quickly.
I didn't fall asleep though-I lay in bed thinking about everything I had discussed with Logan. He was so good to me and such an excellent listener. He knew what to say and ask without protruding my feelings and was perfect at comforting me. My mind flashed to Gordo as I thought of these similar qualities. An image of Corey and I just a month ago flashed into my mind. We had a bit too much to drink that night while at a friend's house. Let's just say we got carried away in the bathroom! I shook the image from my mind and turned into my side. I looked out the window and slowly drifted off into a light sleep.
"Now boarding for Los Angeles! Please hand your tickets to the flight attendants and have your id at the ready," a voice above called out shaking me from my book. I noticed my surroundings and quickly grabbed my bags to get in line for the plane. This time I had felt lonely boarding without Logan, his flight took off the day before. I made my way on the plane and took my seat. Slumping into the window I seat and took out my book and looked at the pages.
"Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?" a voice interrupted my reading and my face immediately lightened. I looked up happily to see a smiling Logan standing in the aisle of the plane.
