Chapter 18: Back in the Water

The boy tried to call her name but the feeling of drowning kept him from saying it.

The boy tried to run to her but the feeling of drowning kept him from moving his feet.

The boy tried to do something but the feeling of drowning kept him from doing anything.

No matter what he did, Logan Mitchell couldnt seem to keep himself afloat these days. Whenever he thought he had a firm stance on the ground the waves would crash down on him yet again. Logan watched silently as the rush came over him, quickly taking the place of the girl who was fading into the darkness ahead.

His neck was stretched as he faced the spot where she fled. His eyes were widened as he searched for her figure in the night. His ears were perked as he listened for her return. His mind churned rapidly as he tried to compute the actual probability that she would, and his heart sank lower with every minute that passed and every percentage point that statistic fell.

An hour passed, and his empty hope was drowning him. He clung onto the bit of logic at the back of his mind, and suddenly, he knew that she wasnt coming back- not tonight. He waded out of his trance and began pacing around the park when something caught his eye.

No more than a couple feet away, a small novel was bathing in the grass. The front cover was barely highlighted by the murky, orange glow of the street lamp. Logan reached out for the small item and immediately felt a wave of comfort crash through his body.

A Tale Two Cities. Logan's attention was completely captured by the book, Well Mr. Dickens now YOU come to me when I need you. Impressive. Logan chuckled slightly as he rummaged through the pages.

This version was slightly older than his own and the cover was evidence of a different publisher. But the binding was torn and various pages were creased just like his own novel. The owner of this book had probably read the story as many times as he had.

Suddenly, a small sheet of folded line paper caught Logan's attention as it floated from folds of the pages to the tides of grass below. He immediately retrieved the bookmark and was surprised to see childlike writing scrawled messily within.

Dear Alex,

This is Alex. Write now I am 5 years old. Mommy and Dad said that I got my own show now. So I decited that I would right this.
Im gonna be a lawyer not an actor soo...

I, Alex Bennet, pinky promise to neber eber become one of them.
I will neber be mean and stupid like them. Oh and I will neber like- like one of them, two risky and NO DISTRACSHUNS!
Neber Eber.

Love, ALEX.

Logan laughed slightly at the little paper in his hands. Even the childish spelling wasnt enough to disguise her. She really hadnt changed in all of those years. He recognized the logic behind every word. It sounded just like her... Hell, it sounded just like him.

Oddly enough, it was only after he read little Alex voicing his exact thoughts, that he recognized the flaws in their shared reasoning. Suddenly, Logan was plunging into his thoughts yet again.

Logan was slowly wading through the park and back towards the Palmwoods, If Logan hadnt been so absorbed in his thoughts and so focused on the small book in his hands, he might have noticed the smile that had erupted on his lips. Being around Alex meant every one of his emotions was intensified. It meant always drowning in his emotions. Logan didnt mind though, suddenly he loved swimming.

Sooo im still not very lovey. ehhh... long story. prolly cuz i gotta go back to school soon :/ yuck. ahaha im taking all weighted (AP) college courses and 2 afterschool + 1 online class. Yah, kill me know. Everyone else has early release and late start and classes like "foods" or "art" but not me -_-

but anywho, last chapter was Alex's realization and this was Logie's side. Yah Logie got it a little easier, but i guess i just love him more :) hehehe! but wow, i updated rather quickly huh? im proud of myself! So anyways, im almost positive that this story will conclude with either the next chapter or the one after that. depends on my writing abilities- ehhh.

and i dont know if you caught onto it, but our little Logie has a plan for next time, we'll see if it actually works... doo doo doo (my attempt at a dramatic ending)

Reviews? Please and thank you :)
