Ch. 5

       I Cross My Heart And I Hope To Die That I'll Only Stay With You One More Night

                 The temperature outside is unusually hot today. Well, not unusually, but still. It's been a week since his face haunted me in my sleep. Since then all i have been able to think about was him. Sometimes I could hear his voice, smell his cologne, feel his warmth. Then, I'd realize he wasn't here and i would get depressed. I have hardly left the house so i made the choice to go to the beach wiht Logan. He's been a lttle worried about me. I mean i'm his est friend, he knows when i'm upset.

      "Hey Babe," says the voice that i've grown to know as Logan's. "You look stunning as always" He says with a chuckle. He always compliments me, however our relationship is completely platonic. Besides, I need a best friend if he and i were to get in  a relationship, i would ruin it like all the others and then BAM! I'm alone again. As were walking down the side walk towards the beach, I notice Logan go rigid. He quickly grabs my hand and pulls me to his side. As we continue walking in the sand to find a spot, I take note on how nervous he looks.

        "Babe do you want to just go home? I don't think tody is the best day to swim, it's really chilly out and you might get sick" He says while looking at me with soft, pleading eyes.

        "Logan don't be dumb. Its almost one hundred degress out. I won't get sick. Why are your knickers in a twist?" I say while laughing. However, his face emmits no sense of amusement.

        "Look, I invited some friends because I wanted you to meet a few and I guess one of them invite...him. I had no idea babe. I'm so sorry."

        Then my heart dropped. 

My thoughts going haywire.  He's here? Where is he? Has he seen me? Do I look Okay? Am I okay? I can't breathe. Let me see him. Get me far away from here. Help. help. help.

        Then I see them. A pair of stunning blue eyes. I drop everything. I can't process what happens next. All I can remember is two strong arms around me. Fitting like the a puzzle piece again. The strong scent in my lungs. The breathing on my shoulder. Then warm tears streaming down my face. Then being pushed to the ground and seeing fist connect to jaw.

        Luke just hugged me. Logan just punched Luke. 

        "Stop!" I scram as loud as I could. As Luke glared at Logan.

        "What? You're just going to fall back to this bloody man whore? Izzy, you can't."

        Then Luke snickers, " Come on mate, we both know she's happy with me. I made a huge mistake. We haven't seen eachother in so long. Not even when we broke up. Here just take my number and call me Izz." Luke whispered the last part in my ear.

        "Let's go Logan, I want to go home." I stated.

        That night I was still shell-shocked. The piercing blue eyes, the moement of his muscles, the stupid dimples. 'Make me forget', I whispered as i took the first pill.
