Chapter 5 Of Show your Love
Logan and Hailey arranged a meeting place after school at 6:30, thinking the sooner she gets it over, the sooner he left.
There was a knock on the door, and when she answered it, there stood Logan.
"You're early." She said unkindly, attempting to make it sound as nice as possible but somehow, it didn't work.
"Forgive me for disturbing." He said meekly, he would usually mean or would insult, what the heck was wrong with him.
A puzzled look appeared on Hailey's face as he turned to leave. "Logan, wait." She blurted out after feeling too guilty for being mean to him for no reason. "I'm sorry, you can come in."
He turned back to face her, and she allowed him to come in.
-5minutes into beginning the project-
Logan was cracking under pressure, she could see it whenever she looked over at him, that's why she thought he was lucky to have her..
"That's not how it works." She said moving closer to him, and placing the battery cell in the correct place, their hands immediately touched, and they both looked up at each other.
Hailey looked away from eye contact and after her response, Logan sought no use in trying anymore. "Are we almost finished?"
"No, we have like about 12 more to do to get this thing up and running."
"What exactly are you making?"
"Fundamental part of a device, which is going to be used to power that container of substance to a boil which will form a strange crystal."
"Okay then." Logan acted like he knew what she was talking about but everyone knew he clearly didn't.
"I'll do the talking tomorrow, you can just demonstrate."
"Fine with me." "But don't you think we could've made something else, other than that?"
"What did you have in mind?"
"A self portrait."
"Of?"
"Me of course."
She smacked him over the back of his head. "Then what grade will you think we'll get, maybe in the range of 2 and -100."
"Suggestion."
Hailey smiled to herself, he always made her laugh at the silliest of things he did, but she tries hard not to make it show much. 'Wow, this has to be the longest conversation ever.' She thought to herself once more, as she attempted to fix the battery cell into the device.
Logan's P.O.V
How long can you
hold out against me
How long can you resist to kiss me
Cause
you know you want to
You know I want to
I know I want
to
You know you want to
But you can't let this be
The
reason for a season of love
He occasionally looked over at her as she stressed out about the device, she was always the person for getting good grades, that's why he loved her, for everything she was….
But he couldn't find a way to tell her again, he thought he messed up everything with Taylor and all, but she was the one that forced Hailey and his relationship down the drain, and that's why he felt so stupid about making the biggest mistake of his life, and hurting the one person that accepted him for his jerk ass ways.
You're so
complicated
And I can't figure you out
You're just so
complicated
In every one of your ways
As I've often
stated
Girl, I'm not messing you about
You're just so
complicated
In everyone of your displays
If only he knew how to tell her again, to get her back, to erase that distance and unreadable look off her face. He was completely clueless, even more then he was about the project, and the fact that she was so apart from him was the worst thing he could face.
How long
must I pretend to like you
When it's so plain to see I love
you
Cause I want to have you
I want to hold you
I want
to always be there for you
So please don't be frightened
By
the strength with which
I'm holding your heart
He watched her every movement, remembering to pay attention to what she was doing, but he wasn't sure how much more he could take, because ever since they broke up, he found himself empty and alone, with no one to have feelings for.
You're so

But he was still puzzled as to why she had been so open with him, how she talked to him and totally didn't just abandon him, and cross him out of her life, maybe he thought that their was still hope for him yet, but how long would it take before she could take him back in, because surely she could be feeling the same way he was, right?

Maybe she was also in need of an answer to why he was like that, why he would dump their relationship for a girl that didn't even like him, but just wanted to get back at her for having him. Maybe she also wasn't going to let go of him yet because she knew the type of person he was, and the type of person that he showed her, and was ready to give him a second chance if he was prepared for it.

Hailey's P.O.V.
"Logan?"
Logan seemed to snap back to reality and looked at her.
"Logan, it's almost 8 and we haven't even finished the device, you can at least help."
"Sorry." He said looking back at the device, and they both got to it again, but this time, they were forced to work together.
"Finally, we're finished."
"Great, now let's test it out." Logan said aroused. "I have a feeling it'll work."
"Okay, hand me the container." She said turning on the flame, he handed her the container, and she placed the container in the slot provided to heat the substance slightly.
It was about five minutes before the container was heated with the substance, the liquid began to bubble.
"Just a bit more." Hailey said watching attentively. Suddenly the container shattered and the substance flew everywhere around the area.
They were covered in blob and surprisingly, it was cold.
"No!" Hailey yelled as she wiped the substance from her eyes.
"What does 'no!' exactly mean?" Logan asked her.
"Where going to have to start all over." She responded sadly.
"You're joking right."
"Does that look like I'm joking." She said pointing at the overheating device covered in an unknown substance.
"What exactly is this anyway? It boils yet it's cold?"
"I'm not sure, Quinn gave it to me, she said it's a great way to get an A."
"Alright." "I'm going to go clean up, I'll be back soon." He said getting up to go to the door. At that time he slipped and fell on some of the blob that had been on the floor since the explosion.
"Wait, I have some clothes for you-" Hailey got up also, but she fell to the ground, right on top of Logan.
They stared at each other for a while before Hailey got up and helped him up. "Sorry about that."
"It's okay." He said getting up, they slid a bit again, and Logan held Hailey, preventing her from falling. Once they were clear of anything that would make them fall again, she cleared her throat, trying to forget like nothing happened when they fell together. "Um, I….I have some clothes for you, from the time I hid it and you tried to find it."
"Yea, where are they, that means I don't have to leave."
"Give me a moment." She told him, and went to get his clothes from the drawer.
"Here." "And the bathroom is through that door."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
He left, and while he showered, she cleaned up the room, and it was only a matter of time he came out and she went in.
Logan was outside with nothing else to do, so he went to the bathroom, and turned the doorknob only to find it was locked. He then went back and sat down on the chair and attempted to fix the device once more, for the knowledge of what he watched from Hailey.
After what seemed to be like about 15 minutes, Hailey came out with her hair half dried, and she was in a white blouse and a purple sweat pants, she sat down opposite Logan.
"I see you attempted the impossible, let's see how you did?"
"Not much actually." He admitted.
"Oh really?" "Then let's start over."
It was now 11 in the night, and they were both falling asleep, "Hail, wake up."
Hailey groaned a little before she got up, raising her head from the table and half-consciously looking at him. "What is it?"
"We're finished." Logan muttered with fatigue.
She looked at the device which had a flame erupting from the hole designed, and smiled. "Great." She said "Let's just leave the boiling part till tomorrow."
"I have a feeling it'll work."
"Where have I heard that before." She said
"Just trust me." He said looking at her, it took her a while as she looked back into his eyes, then she gave in with a sigh.
"Alright." She said placing the container on again.
It wasn't long before the substance began bubbling and it changed colors from a dark pink to blue, yellow and red.
"Wow."
"We did it!" she said kissing him surprisingly, who hugged her back, but it ended as fast as it began…
After that was just a blackout……….
