Chapter Three

"I say you've lost your mind." Tori said sitting on the bed.

"I haven't lost my mind. I just… I just know that the guys miss you too, and I do too. I don't want to leave you so soon." Logan said, shooting her a pair of puppy dog eyes.

Tori sighed and looked down. "I can't believe I'm about to say this but," she looked up at him, "I'm in."

Logan smiled. "I was hoping you'd say that."

After making travel plans, packing, a visit to Logan's parents and a plane ride, Tori and Logan landed in L.A.

"WOW!" Tori said as they both walked out of LAX. "This is amazing."

"Welcome to sunny L.A!" Logan said leading her to a nearby taxi that was going to take them to the Palmwoods. Tori giggled as they got into the taxi. She looked around in awe as they drove to the Palmwoods.

They arrived and Tori hopped out of the taxi and gaped at the tall building. Logan got their bags out of the taxi and paid the driver. "This is where you LIVE?" Tori asked.

"Yup. " Logan smirked. "Follow me"

Tori followed him in the doors of the Palmwoods, looking around fascinated at the lobby. Logan waved and greeted his friends as he led her to the elevator. There was a comfortable silence in the elevator. Logan glanced at Tori wondering how he never noticed how beautiful she was before. Tori looked around the elevator. Every inch of this place was different from Minnesota. The ding that signalled they were on the right floor brought Logan back to reality. He picked up the bags and exited the small space.

"You know I can carry my own bag…." Tori said finally realizing he was carrying hers.

"Nah. It's fine. You packed pretty light actually." He laughed.

Logan stopped outside the apartment door and faced her. "So, I'll warn you. Everyone in here is probably mad at me for leaving so…" he looked down nervously. "Please don't leave when they yell at me."

Tori rolled her eyes. "Logan, you dragged me to L.A. I have nowhere to go."

"Oh yeah…" Logan said. Tori chuckled.

Logan proceed to open the door to 2J and entered, Tori hot on his heels after him.

"ARE YOU COMPLETELY NUTS?" Kendall shouted at him.

"What were you thinking?" James yelled.

"Haven't you ever needed you best friend more than anything?" Logan asked.

"Yeah but you guys are here and even if you weren't I wouldn't just pack up and go back to Minnesota without telling anyone, Logan! That was just incredibly stupid." Kendall retorted.

Suddenly, Tori peaked out from around Logan.

"TORI?" Carlos shouted with excitement running over to her and throwing his arms around her. "It's been forever!" he said squeezing her tightly.

"Carlos, I… I can't breathe," Tori choked. Carlos let her go and she took a deep breath as they guys all greeted her nicely and lead her to the couches to sit. They all seemed to forget what they were yelling about as Tori told them all about what had happened back home after they left. Mama Knight and Katie both greeted Tori during their conversations.

It was beginning to get late in the evening when they sat down to eat their dinner.

"Oh Logan, have you seen Camille? She was looking for you this morning." Carlos asked.

"No, I didn't' see her when we got here." Logan said.

"Who's Camille?" Tori asked taking a sip of her water.

"Logan's kind of sort of girlfriend." James said.

Tori's face dropped and Logan kicked James under the table. "She's not my girlfriend, we're just friends." Logan stated, glancing at Tori to see her reaction. She simply continued eating.

Camille wasn't Logan's girlfriend, but she wasn't exactly just his friend. They were more like friends with benefits. He definitely had to clear things up with Camille on their relationship status if he wanted to have anything to do with Tori.

They finished dinner without any more things that could create tension.

"I'll be right back," Logan said after everyone cleared their spots at the table. "I'm just going to see what Camille wanted. I probably won't be long." He said leaving the apartment.

Camille's apartment was just around the corner from 2J. Logan knocked on the door and waited.

Seconds later, Camille opened it. "Hey! Where were you this morning? I was looking for you." She asked.

"Minnesota" he said.

"What?" Camille asked in a confused tone.

"It's a long story." Logan said shaking his head.

"Well all that matters is that you're back now and I have amazing news for you!" she said excitedly. "I got an acting job!"

"Really! That's amazing!" Logan said hugging her. Camille immediately wrapped her arms around his neck. Logan began to let her go and she pulled him into a rough sloppy kiss. Logan kissed her back. The was a thud of someone stopping walking down the hallway.

Logan looked up to see Tori standing there, stunned.

"Tori." Logan said letting go of Camille.

"I'm… I'm sorry. I was just coming to ask you if you were okay with our movie choice and the guys told me you were just a bit down the hallway but I can see you're busy, yeah, bye" Tori rambled and turned on her heels and began walking in the other direction.

"Who's that?" Camille ask standing there with a confused look on her face.

"Tori. I'll explain later. I gotta go." Logan said running after Tori.

"Tori!" Logan said. "Tori!" he shouted running around her and standing in front of her so she couldn't continue walking.

She had tears in eyes. She looked into his eyes. "Just friends?" she asked in a hurt tone.

"Tori, that was… that was nothing. It meant nothing." Logan stammered.

"Logan, I don't kiss my just friends." She said, "I don't care if you have a girlfriend. It doesn't matter." She tried to brush past him but he grabbed her shoulders.

"Tori. Please. She's not my girlfriend." Logan pleaded.

"Then what was that? Did you just come to Minnesota to have sex with me so you could have sex with other girls because of our stupid pact?" Tori blinked trying to get the tears in her eyes to go away.

"No. Not at all, Tori that's not it… at all. I came because I missed you and I…I…"

Tori cut him off. "Save it Logan." She said breaking from his grip and walking towards the door.

"Tori…" Logan said, she glanced at him as she opened the door, pure hurt on her face.

"Logan good with the movie?" Kendall asked as she entered.

Tori was taken aback by the question. She shook her head "Yeah I think so." She said sitting on the couch. Logan entered the room seconds after sitting on the opposite side of the couch.

They watched the movie in silence. Tori and Logan both not saying a word unless spoken to. The movie finished pretty late and they all got ready to go to bed. Tori would be sleeping on the couch during her stay so Kendall went to get some blankets and pillows for her from housekeeping. When he returned Logan told him he'd set up the bed for Tori. He nodded and went into their room.

Tori left the bathroom in her pyjamas to find Logan making her bed on the couch.

"Can we talk?" Logan asked.

"Logan, I don't want to talk." Tori said walking over to the couch, crossing her arms around her chest and looking down.

"You need to understand that, I don't like Camille like that and I didn't go to Minnesota just to have sex with you. It wasn't even in my intentions. Tori," Logan grabbed her hands and looked her in eye. "Tori, I don't regret what happened in Minnesota. It made me realize how much I missed you being here in L.A. and I think… I think I might…might be in love with you." He choked out.

Tori stared at him. "Well, let me know when you get those feeling figured out." She said letting go of his hands and crawling into her freshly made couch bed. "Good Night Logan." She said reaching for the light.

"Good Night Tori." He said leaving the room.

Tori laid in the darkness. In L.A. Missing her bed in Minnesota. She was frustrated. When Logan showed up at her door, she thought she was in love with him. But now, after she saw Logan kissing Camille. She wasn't so sure.
