And back to where we left off -
"I... uh. well, do you like me, you know, in that way?" Logan asks. I can tell he's really nervous. Are Zoey and Nicole, right?
"I don't know," I admit.
Logan gets up, "Well let me know when you do, before it's too late and my heart is with someone else. I wish I could wait around forever for you, Dana, but I can't. It hurts too much. I've been waiting 5 years for you to show me that somehow you cared, but you never made a move. I'm not always a player, you know, I do HAVE feelings."
Whoa. All of this is TOO overwhelming but I have to make sure he doesn't leave before I get a say in all this.
I get up after him and lay my hand on his shoulder, "Logan, you confuse me. One day we're arguing, the next we're, well, like this. Before I can decide on my feelings, you have to tell me exactly how you feel."
Wow, that made no sense at all, did it?
"Dana, now you're confusing me. People know what they feel, what they like, they know all of that without knowing what anyone else thinks of them."
"I don't know if I like you in that way, alright! I just, I'm so confused. This is all happening too fast," I sigh.
"You don't know? Well let me make it easier on you," Logan cups my chin in his hands and gives me an innocent kiss on the lips.
He is the best kisser. And I mean that. It was like a million sparks went off in my head. I was happy, nervous, excited, every emotion imaginable and all in that one kiss.
-But I don't tell him any of that.
Logan backs away and begins again, "Think about it. When you're done, come find me, look me directly in the eyes, and honestly tell me you felt nothing and then you'll know your answer."
"But-"
"Bye Dana." He says, turning around and walking back to the Hotel.
I think I love him.
He's in my head. And he won't come out. It's like when you've been listening to a song for days at a time and then you get it stuck in your head, well that's what it's like for me.
My legs hurt but they keep on pumping. I've been running all thru the Boardwalk searching for Logan and he's not anywhere! I have to tell him how I feel. It figures that when I need to talk to him most, he's not there. Chase and Michael don't even know where he went. Ah. That boy drives me crazy.
"Dana, slow down!" I hear Nicole yelp.
I turn around and spot Nicole and Zoey far behind me. Zoey catches up and pulls out a mini fan from her purse, it blows her short brown hair from her face. Nicole finally makes her way over to Zoey and doesn't say anything before collapsing next to a stop sign. She's panting heavy.
I guess I've been walking around here for a while.
"C'mon, you lazy asses! I NEED to find Logan!" I say, walking over to them.
Zoey begins talking, "Dana, we know that you want to find your boyfriend-"
I send her a death glare.
"I mean, your 'friend'," She corrects putting the emphasis on friend, "but me and Nicole are tired. Could we at least take a break?"
"Fine," I give in, a lot quicker than usual. After-all, we DID make a deal to be nicer to each other.
"Yay!" Nicole giggles, "I'm sooo hungry! Let's get some food, and then we can go searching for Logan again, so Dana doesn't have to wait to have another lip lock."
I roll my eyes. I should NOT have told them about what happened between Logan and me this morning. Note to self: Don't tell Nicole, The Blabbermouth, Bristow about my love life.
Zoey laughs, "Oh come' on, D, you know it's true." She nudges my elbow in an attempt to make me laugh. It comes out as an accident, but I do end up laughing. ALOT.
Soon enough we find ourselves in a place called, "The Breakers". It's a small restaurant that has, what I call, beach food. There's Fries, Hot dogs, Cheeseburgers, Onion Rings, Fried Dough, Pizza, Nachos, Ice cream, every type of junk food possible.
"This is perfect." Zoey states, munching on her slice of Pepperoni pizza.
We all got tons of food, probably more than we can eat. What can I say, walking for over 3 hours, can make you very hungry.
"Totally," Nicole steals one of the fries from Zoey's plate.
"Hey!" Zoey laughs, "Eat your own food!"
"Now who's fighting, Zoey?" I smirk.
Zoey rolls her eyes at me, "Dana, you know I'm only kidding."
"I know," I say, stealing a french fry from her plate. Nicole joins me too, and steals some more.
She bursts into giggles, "Okay, we'll stop, Zo."
Zoey laughs, "That's okay. I'll just have to steal some of your food when you guys aren't looking as pay back."
"Fat chance," I say, pulling my plate that is filled with Sugary Cinnamon Fried dough. I am definitely gonna be on a sugar high.
I stuff a piece of the powdery mixed bread into my mouth, but then something catches my eye.
"Look! There's a singing contest tonight!" Nicole says, obviously noticing the same thing I just did.
"You should sing Dana, you're really good." Zoey says. She steals a piece of my fried dough but I let her take it without complaining. My mind is on someone else. I have an idea.
"Yeah, maybe I will," I smirk.
"You've got a plan don't you?" She asks.
"Maybe." I say, taking my plate of left over food and throwing it in the trash can.
I sit back at our table, and lean my face on my hands.
"Details, please!" Nicole claps her hands together, "Tell us!"
I don't know if I should tell them. Well, maybe it would be a good idea if they knew.
"Okay, fine I'll tell you. It has something to do with Logan, and getting his attention," I wave my hand over towards me, so they know to get closer so I can whisper it to them. No one is gonna steal my idea or they are gonna have a fistful of Cruz.
"You ready?" Zoey asks.
Right now we're backstage. My heart is beating fast. I can't believe I'm here. Michael and Chase BETTER have convinced Logan to come here or I'm going to kick ass.
"I think so," I manage to say.
"Don't worry you'll do great!" Nicole says, "I picked out the song!"
I sigh in defeat, "Oh god, I can only imagine what song you picked out."
"Hey! It's a good song, it's R&B." Nicole says, offended.
"Don't take it seriously, Nicole, I just don't like that type of music. I'm more of a Rocker type of girl." I explain.
"Oh well." She laughs, "You have to do it anyway, because you're on now!"
I panic, "WHAT! I'm not ready yet!"
Zoey and Nicole begin to push me towards the front of thestage.
"...And now for our first act tonight, we have Miss Dana Cruz!" The Announcer says. The crowd begins to clap and there goes that feeling again. The Tornado is back and is destroying my insides.
I get up on stage and grab the microphone. I stare out at the crowd. I see Zoey, Nicole, Chase, Michael and more importantly Logan sitting at a table way in the back. Zoey and Nicole give me a thumbs up, but my main focus is on Logan. He's smirking at me, like he think's I'm going to mess up. My ass. I'm going to kick butt here. Singing is my specialty.
The words on a screen infront of me say the Artist and the Song Title. The music begins to play, and my feet tap to the beat of the music.
I sing the lyrics to the song as they come up and I'm ready to kill Nicole. The song is about my feelings for Logan.
"Oh, been trying to let it go
Trying to keep my eyes closed
Trying to keep it just like before
The times we never even thought to speak
Don't wanna tell you what it is,
Oh wee it felt so serious
Got me thinking just too much
I wanna set it off, but,
It's this 1 thing that's got me trippin
It's this 1 thing that's got me trippin (you did)
This 1 thing my soul may be feeling
It's this 1 thing you did oh oh
It's this 1 thing that caught me slippin
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it (you did)
This 1 thing and I was so with it
It's this 1 thing you did oh oh
Hey, we don't know each other well
so why I keep pickin' up my cell?
Memories just keep ringing bells
Hear voices I don't want to understand
My car keys are jingling in my hand
My high heels are clicking towards your door.
It's this 1 thing that's got me trippin
It's this 1 thing that's got me trippin (you did)
This 1 thing my soul may be feeling
It's this 1 thing you did oh oh
It's this 1 thing that's caught me slippin
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it (you did)
This 1 thing and I was so with it
It's this 1 thing you did oh oh
Maybe I just can't believe it
It's this one thing you did oh oh
I can't deny, tired of trying
Open up the door, but just keep on seeing you
I'm hoping you can keep a secret
For me, for me, for me
But what you did, yeah
It's this 1 thing that's got me trippin
It's this 1 thing that's got me trippin (you did)
This 1 thing my soul may be feeling
It's this 1 thing you did oh oh
It's this 1 thing that's caught me slippin
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it (you did)
This 1 thing and I was so with it
It's this 1 thing you did oh oh"
The music slowly faded out and people began to clap.
I smile at the crowd and then put the microphone back. Nicole is such toast. Not only did she have me sing music I don't like, she chose a song that Logan would KNOW meant I like him. Yeah, that was my intended plan, but I thought she'd be too ditzy to remember any of it! Great.
I slowly walk to the table they are sitting at. I dread meeting up with them, wishing that I'd be able to just turn around and escape out the back door but my feet don't move that way.
"Good job, Dana!" Chase smiles.
"Thanks Chase, " I say.
"Kick-ass singing, "Michael says giving me a high 5.
I laugh, "Thanks Mike,"
I look around the table. Everyone is so happy and having a great time, except for Logan. He seems so distant. Did he not realize who that song was for? Oh god. What if he doesn't like me in that way anymore! Please, don't let it be that. That would hurt so bad if he didn't.
I need to talk to him.
"Logan?"
He looks up at me, "Yeah?"
"Can I talk to you for a sec.?"
He nods and gets up from his seat. We both walk outside and are standing in the parking lot.
I grab his hand and begin walking, "C'mon."
He gives me a puzzled look, "Where are we going?"
"Just trust me, pretty boy," I smirk.
I soon drag him across the beach to where we were last night. I sit on my knees (since I'm wearing a skirt) and motion for him to sit. He plops down next to me.
"So why did you drag me here?" He asks.
Jeez! Does this boy have to be so difficult? I love him that's why I brought him here!
"Logan, you know why we're here." I say, rolling my eyes.
He smirks, "Actually I have no idea. Care to fill me in?"
I should have known he wasn't going to make this easy on me!
"You know damn well while I'm here! I can't stop thinking about you! Ever since you kissed me this morning, all I kept thinking about was that kiss, how it felt, and you. It drove me crazy all day when I couldn't find you! Don't you understand? I love you, you idiot! It's that can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence World Series kind of love. I just-"
Logan cuts me off, "Dana, can you shut the hell up, so I can kiss you already!"
What he says takes me by surprise but once his lips touch mine… it's perfect. It just feels so right. Maybe, the sayings right, What's meant to be will always find it's way. And maybe… just maybe, me and Logan are suppose to be together.
Slowly we both pull away, dazed from the kiss.
He lays down on his back and pulls me towards him, so my head is on his chest, "I knew you couldn't resist me."
I roll my eyes at him, "Way to ruin a moment, Logan."
"What do you expect; it is ME, after-all." He says cockily. Ha. I don't think he realizes that he's making fun of himself! Haha!
I smile, "Good point."
"HEY! Do you mean something by that!" He asks, obviously confused.
I roll over so I'm on my stomach, and twirl his chocolate brown hair; it twists between my fingers, making it even more curly. I give him my most innocent smile, "Of 'course not, my Logey Bear."
(A/N- The word Logey Bear, is property of Nat or MrsLoganReese. I hope you don't mind that I used it; it just seemed to fit the scene well! Hehe)
"Are you just doing that as a distraction, to make me forget about it?" He smirks that mischievous grin of his.
"…Maybe," I smirk flirtatiously, "Is it working?"
He leans his head close to mine, so I can feel his breathe on my skin. It sends chills down my spine, but he doesn't kiss me.
I roll my eyes at him, "You're such a tease,"
"Think so? Well, I did learn from the best." Logan says.
He's definitely referring to me on that one. :)
"Thanks, I am the best aren't I?" I smirk.
"What makes you think I was referring to you," He asks, "I could have been referring to another one of my girlfriends."
My eyes lock onto his, sending him a death glare. "You better not. And trust me, if you do and I find out, because believe me I WILL find out, you will never be able to have children. Never ever."
Logan winces at the thought of it, "Ouch. Note to self: Never piss you off."
"Hey! I'm not that mean, am I?" I ask, trying to hide my hurt.
"No, you're just not all good. But it's not a bad thing because I'm the same way. See, we're made for each other." He says, leaning in to kiss me.
I back away from the kiss, "Yeah, maybe your right, Logan. Maybe we are made for each other."
I then lean in to kiss him but right when I do, he kisses me. A passionate kiss, one of the best kisses I've ever had from a boy. Hell! It is the best kiss I've ever had.
I never knew that I would ever feel this way about a boy. All the other boyfriends I've had before have never made me feel so safe, so secure, and most importantly, happy.
If you would have asked me three days ago what I thought of Logan, I would have told you he was a self-absorbed, flirtatious jerk who plays any girl that goes within 5 feet of him. But now that I know he has another side, he is just… so much more than that.
I know a lot of things will happen after we Graduate from PCA, but one thing is for sure, the way Logan and I feel for each other, will never always stay the same. I know that Zoey and Nicole and I are going to stay friends. After all that we've been thru with each other over these past 4-5 years, we are destined to be friends for life. I'm sure eventually Zoey will come to the conclusion that Chase likes her much more than a friend, like I have with Logan and then it will all be perfect. It will be great.
…Because in life if things aren't good, then it's definitely not the end.

"Seemed to stop my breath
My head on your chest
Waiting to cave in
From the bottom of my...
Hear your voice again
Could we dim the sun
And wonder where we've been
Maybe you and me
So kiss me like you did
My heart stopped beating
Such a softer sin
I'm melting, I'm melting
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
Now
Never caught my breath
Every second I'm without you I'm a mess
Ever know each other
Trust these words are stones
why cuts aren't healing
Learning how to love
I'm melting, I'm melting
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
(Stay with me lay with me now)"
"I Caught Fire" – The Used
Fin
I think this seems like an okay ending for now.
I just have no idea how to end it. If you guys have any ideas on a better ending, then I'm all for it! I think my ending seems pretty sucky but I just don't know how to end it or if I should even end it at all, but what would I put if this wasn't the end? If you have any ideas, then, feel free to tell me so in a review.
Thank you to everyone that replied. I love you all, and you've all been so kind, with exception of a few people who were mean but, I'll ignore that.
If no one ends up having no ideas for how I could finish this, if you dislike my ending, then I might write a Sequel to this, which takes places when they are adults. I'm not sure, so it's all for you to decide. :) So let me know what you'd like to see next!
Options for you to choose from:
1) Write a Sequel to this
2) Write an entirely new story (Tell me who you'd like to see in it or what you'd like to see happen. I love making reviewers happy!)
3) Finish up one of my previous stories
4) Other
Make sure to review to tell me whatcha think. :)
