Part 3: Feeling Alone
Zoey tossed and turned in her sheets. It was useless, she couldn't fall asleep. She counted sheep, she read a book, she even wrote in her journal for the fist time in months. She picks up her phone and stares at the clock, "Great, it's barely midnight." Suddenly, it begins to vibrate. She quickly opens it hoping that it was him. She smiles when she reads the name on the screen, Logan R.
Logan: I'm back.
Zoey: I can't sleep.
Logan: Me neither. I'm walking around.
Zoey: Want to meet up?
Logan: Sure at the fountain.
Zoey: On my way.
Zoey sprints out of bed and bolts through the door.
Cut to Logan waiting at the water fountain
He spots Zoey quickly walking towards him, so he takes a deep breath. "Hey Zoe…" She jumps into his arms, "Logan! I was so worried about you. Where have you been? How are you?" Logan was taken aback by Zoey but he maintains his composure, "I was in Boston. My grandpa died Friday afternoon." Zoey covers her mouth, "Logan, I'm so sorry. Are you ok?" He shakes his head, "Not really. I've never felt so alone." Zoey hugs him tightly. He completely breaks down in her arms, collapses to the floor, and she begins to sob with him. A few minutes after holding each other in complete silence, Logan begins to speak, "Thank you. If you weren't here for me right now I wouldn't know what to do." She cups his face in her hands, "No, thank you for letting me in." He smiles and moves over to sit behind her. He wraps his arms around her waist and they stare up at the star filled sky.
Zoey: Is this really happening? Is he really holding me right now…
Logan: I can't believe she hasn't slapped me yet
Logan looks at his wristwatch and grunts, "Zoe, I would love to stay like this the entire night, but it's late and you should go to bed." Zoey looks back at him, "Your right." She stands up and extends her arm out at him. He shakes his head, "Thanks, but I'm just going to stay here. I couldn't sleep even if I tried." She folds her arms in front of her, "Well I'm not leaving unless you do." He smiles, "You know we could always sleep together." Zoey shrugs, "Well if it'll help you sleep." He grins, "We could make out too." She shakes her head and frowns, "Logan!" He laughs, "It was a joke Brooks. Come on lets go." They walk to her dorm; Zoey's heart beating faster and faster with every step.
