Thursday morning dawned and Tierney was awoken as Camille vigorously shook her shoulder. "T! Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Camille continued to shake her. Finally, irritated beyond belief, Tierney gave in and rolled over. She reluctantly opened one eye, glaring at Camille. "What's going on?" Tierney grumbled, slowly, she sat up in bed to lean against the headboard. Camille smiled, "You know the lines you helped me with?" Tierney nodded and Camille continued on, "Today's the audition!".
Tierney smiled at her best friend and stood up, "Do I need to come?" she asked. Camille shook her head 'no' and Tierney shrugged. "What are you going to do today?" Camille asked, raising an eyebrow. Tierney shrugged, taking a pair of faded skinny jeans and a floral spaghetti strap tank top from her dresser and placing them on her bed. "I guess I'll just wander around the park, catch up on my reading."
Shrugging, Camille smiled once more before heading out the apartment door. Tierney sighed and slowly began towards the bathroom to take a quick shower. After blow- drying her bangs and scrunching up her curls to air- dry, Tierney pulled on the clothes she had layed out, along with a pair of black flip flops, and grabbed her current book. She took her time as she headed to the lobby, timidly waving to Stephanie as she passed her.
Over the past few days, Tierney had grown closer to Stephanie and Jo- along with the boys of Big Time Rush. Of both Jo and Stephanie, though, Tierney was more fond of Stephanie. She had no problems with Jo, she simply found it harder to become close to her considering she was almost always at work. Due to Stephanie producing all of her own films around the Palmwoods, she was easier to find and be around.
Tierney finally arrived at the Palmwoods park, gently smiling as she carefully sat down under a large tree. She pulled out her book, Romeo and Juliet, and flipped open to her current page. Honestly, Tierney had read the love story multiple times. She simply loved the book, and continued to read it.
Leaves crackled under feet and slowly, Tierney looked up. A smile placed itself on her lips as Logan stood infront of her, "Hi Logan." The taller boy smiled, "Hey, T. Can I sit down?" he asked. Tierney nodded in response and Logan took a seat next to her.
Carefully, Logan leaned closer to Tierney to look at the book laying in her lap. "Romeo and Juliet?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Tierney tried her hardest not to allow the scarlett red blush form on her cheeks at the close-ness. As she lost the battle, a matching blush formed on Logan's own cheeks and he quickly returned to his first position. Regaining her ability to speak once more, Tierney nodded. "I've read it a million times, but, I just love it" she shrugged, smiling.
Without thinking about it, Logan matched her smile. Something about Tierney simply amazed him; he could never quite pin- point it, but he knew it drew him to her.
"I just think it's amazing that there's a posibiblity that you can love someone so much, that when you think they're dead, you no longer have reason to live." Tierney lost herself in her own words and Logan couldn't help but feeling mesmerized with each word she spoke. He admired how Tierney's eyes shined as she fell deep in to thought about her next words. Her soft voice caught him off guard as she began to speak again, "Would you ever do that?". Logan raised an eyebrow, "Do what?" he asked.
Tierney scrunched her eyebrows together and looked at Logan carefully, "Would you ever kill yourself if the one you loved, died?". He pondered the thought for a while, finally coming up with what he thought would be the correct answer. "If I was truly in love, yes."
The shorter girl took in his answer and grinned, "Really?", he nodded and she smiled.
The two sat in a comfortable silence as Tierney contined to read, Logan studdying her carefully. He noted that at certain sections of the book, her eyes would occasionly soften or sometimes strain themselves in pain. As she batted her eyelashes, she pursed her lips and continued reading on.
Closing her book and placing the book- mark inside, Tierney turned to face Logan completely. "How long have you and Camille been dating?" she asked, catching Logan off guard. "Um, about a year." Logan shrugged. Tierney nodded and looked up at the sky, "It's so beautiful down here." she smiled as she layed down on her back.
Slowly, Logan did the same, folding his arms under his head and closing his eyes. As he let his thoughts wander, Tierney became more and more appealing to him. Once again, he truly had no explination for such a thought in that; She was his girlfriend's best friend, and had a date with his bestfriend the following day.
"You and James still going on a date tomorrow?" Logan asked, propping himself on one elbow and looking at Tierney. She nodded, eyes remaining closed, "Why?". "Just wondering" Logan shrugged. "Do you know where he's taking you?" Logan continued, Tierney sat up in the same position as Logan and opened her eyes. "He won't tell me" Tierney shrugged. Logan nodded and smiled at her.
He continued just smiling. Tierney raised an eyebrow and Logan chuckled, "What?" Tierney asked, beginning to giggle slightly. "Nothing" Logan shook his head, beginning to laugh as well. Within minutes, both teens were erupting in fits of laughter.

As Camille returned from her audition an hour later, she first went to her apartment. Seeing as Tierney was gone, Camille knew where she would be. Since her first arrival, Camille had noted that Tierney found peace within the small Palmwoods park. Camille rolled her eyes and gently laughed as she began towards the park.
Arriving, Camille slowed her pace. Sitting bellow the large tree, were Tierney and Logan laughing. Question filled her eyes as she inched closer to the two, raising an eyebrow, she brought herself in to sight.
"Hi, guys." Camillle hesitantly smiled as she sat down. Logan and Tierney looked up, both smiling. "Cam! How'd the auditions go?" Tierney asked, eyes full of interest. "I think it went pretty well." Camille shrugged, "Do you think you'll get the part?" Logan asked. Camille shrugged, the other two nodding in response.
The three sat in an awkward silence, finally being broken by Tierney, "Hey Cam, why don't we head back to the apartment?" she suggested. In attempt for the awkward silence to be broken, Camille nodded. "It was nice talking to you today, Logan. See you around?" Tierney smiled, waving to Logan as she stood up. He smiled at her, his chocolate brown eyes shining.
Out of habit, Camille placed a quick kiss on the corner of Logan's mouth. Both girls waved to Logan and began towards the lobby.
Stepping in to the elevator, Camille turned to Tierney. "How long were you with Logan?" Camille asked, catching Tierney off guard. She turned to her brunette friend, raising an eyebrow, "I don't know, since you left?" she shrugged. Camille nodded and continued, "What did you talk about?". Tierney stared wide- eyed at her, shrugging once again, "I don't know, random things."
Camille nodded and left it at that, deciding it was best to not push Tierney any farther.
