I watched Logan drive away from my house, the taste of his lips still lingering on mine. As he went out of sight, I cursed myself and texted James.

He just left. Wanna meet now?

It didn't even take him a full minute to text back.

Yes. See you in a few.

I didn't even bother texting back, so I grabbed a hoodie, slipped on a pair of my Vans and walked out the door.

The park was just down the street, so there was no point in driving. I walked down the street and observed the surrounding houses.

It was around 11:30, so it was quiet. Strange for this suburb actually.

I reached the empty park and sat on a nearby set of swings. I pumped my legs back and forth to go higher until I was a good couple of feet in the air.

I thought for a moment, then started humming the words to Elevate.

"Elevate a little higher. Let's throw a party in the sky and celebrate."

I kept swinging, the cold night air hitting me with each motion. I almost fell off when I heard someone behind me.

"Thought I might find you on the swings."

I turned my head and saw James standing there. He was smiling, but it soon faded as he walked up beside me.

"So, what did you need to talk about?"

He looked down at his shoes and sighed deeply.

"Audrey, please don't hate me for what I'm about to say. I just need to get it off of my chest."

I looked at his face. The moon shone down on him, making his eyes gleam.

"What is it, James?"

He looked at me and took a deep breath.

"I want you know that I've liked you ever since I met you at the hospital. I was planning on asking you out on a date, but Logan beat me to it. I don't blame him, though. He's a lucky guy to get to have you."

I kind of smiled, but I was still confused.

"Wait, so you were going to ask me out but Logan beat you to it?"

"Yeah. I kinda deserve it though. I was being really cocky and I think it made him want you even more. Logan doesn't mess around when he really wants something. I didn't expect him to charge out of the room and straight to you."

I sat there for a moment. So the great James Maslow was going to ask me out? That's insane.

"I waited too long and now I've lost my chance. But I want nothing for the best for you and I know Logan will treat you right."

I looked at him and smiled, "Thank you for telling me this."

"No, thank you for meeting me here. I know it seemed really creepy and stuff, but I just needed to tell you before something bad happened."

"Well, thank you. I'm sure Logan thanks you, too."

He chuckled, "Yeah, Logan's a lucky guy. I want you to know that if you ever need any help or just need someone to talk to, I'll be here."

I stood up and wrapped him up in a hug.

"Thank you, James. I'm so glad I have someone like you as a friend."

He stood up and wrapped his arms around me, "I'll always be here for you, Audrey. If not as your boyfriend, then as a best friend."

I let go of James and shoved my hands into my hoodie pocket.

"Well, it's late. I better get home."

"Me too. I have to go film some stuff tomorrow."

We started walking towards the street and he went to his car.

"Hey, where's your car at?"

"Oh, I just live down the street so I walked."

He kind of frowned, "Oh, well, I can give you a ride to your house. It's cold and we don't want you getting kidnapped or anything."

I put my hands on hips and pouted. "Who are you calling 'kid'?"

He rolled his eyes, "You know what I meant. Now, get in the car and I'll take you home."

"Sounds like you're the one who's trying to kidnap me Mr. Maslow."

I stuck my tongue out at him and he smiled.

"Hey, only if the lady wants it."

I laughed, and got in the car with him. I was planning on walking, but I'm too lazy and it is pretty chilly outside.

I told James which house was mine, he dropped me off and I walked inside.

Rex was sleeping on the couch and snoring quite loudly.

I giggled and walked upstairs into my room. I crawled under the covers and dozed off into dream land.

I was sitting in a dark room, alone. I was about to ask where I was until a spotlight shone down on me.

All of a sudden, Logan appeared out of the shadows and smiled at me. I tried to say hi to him, but it was as if my voice wasn't working.

I was sitting there, trying to speak, but then music started playing and Logan began to sing.

"You, you walked into the room on a Friday afternoon. That's when I saw you for the first time, and I was paralyzed."

He walked closer to me and held my hand. I smiled, but I was still speechless.

"I had a million things to say, but none of them came out that day. Cause I was never one of those guys that always had the best lines."

I was so lost in Logan's smile that I didn't notice James creep in from the darkness. I looked up and saw his perfect smile, then I froze.

I couldn't blink, I couldn't hear anything, I wasn't breathing either. I just sat there, paralyzed.
