A/N Chapter 2! Btw if anyone has any extra ideas for the story PM me :)
Rocky was genuinely really concerned about her friend. Cece was usually always so upbeat and found a positive spin on everything, after being dramatic at first of course, but hey, nobody's perfect right? Anyway, getting back to the point.
Cece had wimped out of telling Rocky what was up, which in itself, was very un-Cece-like. And then she had been super quiet all week. Up till the point when even Flynn was worried about her.
Ms Jones attempted to get through to her daughter, also to no avail. And Gunther was arriving in Chicago this Friday. Woah.
Rocky sighed then felt a light buzz in her pocket signalling a new message. For a brief moment she wondered if it was Cece finally deciding to tell her what was going on, but she quickly dismissed that thought and tapped on the glowing red icon.
Miss me? ;)
Logan
Rocky took a deep breath and shoved her phone back in her pocket. She really didn't need this now. The last thing she wanted was Cece to be even more mad at her.
Cece was shut up in her room when Rocky and Dina arrived at her apartment.
Rocky had asked Tinka if she had wanted to join, but she had just said that she needed to meet someone. Oddly enough Ty had used the same excuse when Mrs. Blue tried to get him to sort out some of his old clothes for a jumble sale she was hosting, but Rocky had dismissed it pretty quickly, deciding she had enough on her plate already.
It was actually a really pointless visit, and only consisted of knocking on Cece's door and trying everything to get her to come out.
So after a while Dina announced that Deuce was waiting for her at Crusty's and on that note, left.
Georgia offered to give Rocky dinner with Flynn but she turned the offer down and headed up to her apartment where her mother and older brother were engaged in a seemingly neverending plus way too loud argument.
She sighed. There was literally no way she could do her homework now. She decided she might as well head out to the park. It was her favorite spot to relax and right now, she definitely needed it.
It was nearly 7 o'clock when Rocky reached the park, and she was glad she'd arrived at such a good point. Everyone had either left or was in the process of leaving so she had the park almost to herself, just the way she liked it.
Her favorite spot by the park was the little bench by the lake. Cece had showed it to her when they were 13. She sighed again. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately. Whatever was bugging Cece was clearly not just a small problem, and Rocky was pretty sure Gunther played a main role in it. Maybe she could ask him when he arrived this week? Just as long as he was less secretive than Cece...
Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt someone sit next to her, and her brain immediately went into panic mode. Okay, calm down, deep breaths, don't make eye contact, keep quie- "Rocky? Are you okay?"
She looked up in shock and as she met his hazel colored eyes, she had to stop and collect herself before continuing.
"Logan? what are you doing here?" It came out a bit more aggressively then it had sounded in Rocky's head and she immediately felt bad.
"Holy zam! what's up with you?" he asked clearly surprised at her mini outburst
She took a deep breath and redirected her eyes to the ground, "Hey... you okay though? seriously?" he sounded honestly concerned and she tipped her head to look at him. "Yeah... it's just um Cece" she leant back against the bench and her gaze returned to the lake in front of her "She's just being so... secretive lately. I mean, we're meant to be best friends! I hate that she thinks I'm going to judge her... I hate that she doesn't trust me.." Logan nodded, also resting his eyes on the scenery in front of them "I would offer to talk to her but.. well I feel like she'd just hit me or something."
Rocky smiled lightly and tilted her head back slightly "That does sound like something Cece would do" she murmured
He chuckled "Yeah... hey Rocky?"
"Mhmm?" she sounded tired, but then he gathered she'd had a long day so it didn't really suprise him,
"I- I really missed you." he said looking over at her.
She sat up fully now, looking slightly scared, and Logan inwardly slapped himself. Of course she hadn't missed him, she'd probably completely forgotten about him until today- "I missed you too Logan"
"Huh?" he asked genuinely seeming shocked at her statement, his brow creasing into the little frown Rocky had found so cute... "Uhm yeah?" she replied, her answer again sounding completely different to how it had in her head. She made a mental note to try and do something about that.
"Okay..." his face seemed much closer than it had before...
Wow he had nice eyes... little specs of brown and green and... Hold up! he was leaning! he was leaning! and then she realised she was too. Her brain started sending out urgent messages, practically screaming at her to stop right now before everything came crashing down.
And that was when she stopped. She stood up very suddenly, her legs shaking dangerously, turned and ran. Away from everything. From him. She ran and ran and didn't stop until she had collapsed on her bed.
Maybe she was starting to understand how Cece was feeling.
