Louise and Logan spent their meal making small talk and catching up, Louise told Logan all the info on Bob's attempted recovery and how the restaurant was going and Logan outlined what was going on with his life. He had decided to go across the country to school but didn't last long before deciding to drop out. Once he was out of school he picked up a job at a coffee shop and rented a small apartment but even an efficiency apartment in Washington was proving to be to much money for him so he grabbed up his savings and moved back home.
"So are you staying with your parents?" Louise asked in between bites, she knew that Logan had always had issues with his parents, they weren't exactly the closest family.
"Well," Logan replied, "I was planning on it, they said over the phone that they were doing better 'happier' as they put it, as soon as I walked in though I knew that they were full of shit, they may be fooling themselves but from what I can see they're no different and couples therapy isn't helping them at all, it won't be long now before they finally call it quits and divorce." Logan shrugged as he finished and nonchalantly went back to his food. Louise wasn't sure what to say, she couldn't even imagine being that okay if her parents decided to divorce, she understood that Logan had a way different childhood that she did so he was probably better prepared for his parents to separate than she would be but he must still be hurting.
Louise reached over and put her hand on Logan's arm, "It'll be okay Logan." Louise said sympathetically. He appreciated her concern, it was so rare for her to show compassion that you had to treasure it when she did but he didn't want her trying to be there for him through his family's drama when she had so much more going on so he decided to brush off her sympathy for the moment. "It's okay four-ears, I'm a big boy I'll make it," he laughed "anyways it's not like I'm gonna you know, end up in jail or anything." He winked and busted out laughing, Louise couldn't believe that he was bringing that up.
Two years ago before Logan left for college he and Louise had put aside their differences and become great friends, one night though, they took things way to far. They didn't bond over normal teenager things like music or sports they bonded over violence and mayhem, alcohol and vandalism all the things that matter much to a couple of teenage delinquents. That Halloween Logan and Louise had been friends for six or seven months and were getting along well, Louise was doing especially well considering she had a friend freshly 21 who could supply her with all the alcohol she wanted now.
"God there's nothing to do in this boring ass town." Louise slurred after downing a fifth of vodka. Logan shrugged looking off into the distance, "I don't know four-ears, there's always something to do if you look hard enough." Logan stood up unsteady on his feet taking his bottle of whiskey with him, he heard Louise laughing and stumbling towards him as he face-planted into the sand, asphalt was one thing but getting drunk on the beach was never good for him. Louise held her hand out to him and helped him get to his feet, he put his arm around her shoulders and she wrapped her arm around his waist and together they stumbled towards the town with their bottles in hand to look for something or someone to fuck up.
"Oh shit!" Yelled Louise as she grabbed Logan's hand pulling him to hide behind a car, the sudden movement caused him to trip and drop his whiskey. "Dammit four-ears!" he yelled.
"Oh shut up LoganBerry we have more at your place, but look." She pointed off into the distance she was literally hopping up and down with excitement but Logan's vision was a little to blurry to make out much more than a person standing at a car. "What is it?" He asked, it had been a while since he had seen her this pumped over something so he was curious.
"It's Jimmy Pesto, he's putting some shit in that van he stole from me." Louise took another swig of her vodka remembering those days on Family Fracas, she tried so hard to win that van and she hated losing. She also start flashing in and out of all the hell Jimmy had put Bob through. Her dad was a good guy he worked hard and didn't deserve that shit. She could make this all right. Louise started laughing as she stared towards Pesto's van, he had gone inside and she was starting to get that crazy look in her eye. Logan took her bottle of vodka and gulped it down. "Alright four-ears, you say he's a bad guy and he stole some shit from you let's fuck this up." With that Logan took off out from behind the car and smashed the now empty bottle into Jimmy's windshield, Louise was surprised at first then excited, she ran out laughing as she helped her once arch enemy destroy Jimmy Pesto's van.
An hour or two had passed, Logan and Louise sat staring at their handiwork, both of them were starting to sober up which for most people that would make the fact that they had totaled a someone's vehicle a nightmare, they just appreciated their work though. No window or mirror was left unbroken, the hood dented in, the tires slashed, the body keyed and graffitied, it didn't even look the same. All of a sudden the saw blue lights coming down the road, they started to run but figured out it was pointless, they had been seen plus Jimmy had camera's. This wasn't how the night was supposed to go, they confessed quickly not wanting to make it worse and were immediately handcuffed and taken to the Jail.
The night had started simple enough, steal some kids candy, drink some beer, hit a couple parties. Now look at this shit. Sitting behind bars, getting charge with public intoxication and misdemeanor vandalism. Logan had it worse though, she had overheard the deputies and he was getting handed endangerment of a minor and providing for a minor on top of the misdemenors. All of a sudden there was a commotion at the door. "Where is she? Where's my baby? Where's my little Louise?" Louise's first reaction was to scoff laughing at her mother for her reaction until the door opened and all she saw was Linda stone cold and pissed with her arms crossed over her chest. Seriously was it Bob making all this commotion? At that thought Bob came running into the holding cell scooped up Louise and started screaming at her for doing this, crying over her being behind bars, and laughing at the look on Pesto's stupid gorgeous face.
