Authors Note: Hi! Sooo this story is my first ever FanFic. I really hope you enjoy reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it! Reviews would be much appreciated :)

Oh and i dont own any of these characters! (SO I ALWAYS WRITE THIS, BUT I JUST REALIZED I DO OWN ALEX SOOO YAH AHHAH)

Chapter 19: Stains

Her pillow was stained with tears. Her eyes were stained with the colour of exhaustion. But her face... her face was stained by a small smile. A smile that wasnt the result of her acting but wasnt the result of joy either.

And that was it. It was the type of smile that was just because. She was smiling just because she felt like it. She was smiling because she wasnt following orders, She was smiling because no one told her she had to.

She had always followed orders. For 11 years, she had followed orders. And for 11 years, her voice had been drowned by the lines that directors had scripted out for her.

5 year old Alex Bennet had mistakingly booked a Barbie commercial. 5 year old Alex Bennet had mistakingly become an actress. And it was 5 year old Alex Bennet who had been the first to wear that mask, but it was 16 year old Alex Bennet who had finally taken it off last night. And 16 year old Alex Bennet face had replaced the mask with the small stain of a smile... the smile of, for lack of a better word, freedom.

No one could tell her what to do anymore. Not even herself. She was tired of all of the restrictions she had placed on herself. If she wanted to do something, then from now on she was going to do it. And she knew exactly who she wanted, no needed, to talk to.

And before she could tell herself otherwise, her hand swallowed the cold medal of the doorknob.

His face was stained in the same place. On the bride of lips, he wore the same small stain of smile that she wore.

His smile, well, no matter how hard he tried, he didnt know why he smiled. And at the same time, that was why he smiled. It was the type of smile that could only result from not knowing.

All his life he had known everything. Even as a child, there had been very few things that he didnt know. But where had knowing gotten him?

Logan Mitchell didnt do well under tension. Logan Mitchell avoided all things unknown. Logan Mitchell didnt take risks. Logan Mitchell second guessed every step he made. Logan Mitchell used charts and data tables to organize things he didnt know. Logan Mitchell was the type of person who had two brains and half a heart.

That doesnt mean that he was cold and uncaring. In fact it was just the opposite, he loved his friends and family with every fiber of his being. It was just that when it came to girls... well his heart wasnt loud enough to drown out the sound of Logan's two brains.

But now. Logan no longer knew if logic and love worked together...And that was why the small smile stained the boys face... for the first time, he didnt know what would happen, he hadnt weighed the risks and benefits of what he was about to do... and for that matter, he didnt care that he didnt know.

In his hand was a small book that didnt belong to him. And right in front of him was apartment 2J.
