The Wanted Love Story

Chapter 9: Bridget and Jay

We all made our way to our bedrooms. And honestly I was starting to get irritated. I wanted everyone to know the truth and yet, everytime we tried saying something, we got interrupted.

I found the door with my name on it and noticed I was in between Logan and Jay. Oh the joy. I had an upset best friend on one side and the guy I loved on the other. I have a strong feeling Logan did this on purpose.

I fell down on my bed and sighed.

“Love?” the voice I loved came from the doorway.

I stood up quickly and pulled Jay into the room, proceeding to close my door. Jay sat down on my bed and pulled me into a tight hug.

“I hate keeping this from them, Jay,” I said, my voice muffled by his chest.

“We’ll tell them in the morning. For now, I came to wish my girlfriend a good night’s sleep,” he kissed my forehead.

I giggled. “I love you, Jay.”

“I love you too, Bridget.”

“You should go,” I sighed. “Nathan will be needing you. That silly bromance of yours.”

“Nathan told me something,” Jay admitted. “And I figured that you should know.”

“What is it?” I asked.

He took a deep breath. “He told me he really likes Logan. He’s bitter towards Hunter. He says that Hunter can just sing Wanted and any girl would fall at his feet. Nath thinks he’s ugly and that no girl will want him. Of course, I’m Jay, so I told him that any girl would be lucky to have him. And I wasn’t lying. I told him that Logan would end up with him.”

“Jay, what if she doesn’t end up with Nathan?” I had to ask.

“Then, I guess we make sure she does,” Jay smirked.

“You’re such an idiot,” I laughed.

“I’m your idiot.”

“Go to bed.”

Jay laughed, but left anyway. I decided to go and visit Logan. She is one of my best friends and I can’t stand seeing her this upset.

I knocked on her door and heard a faint “come in.”

I walked in and saw how much of a mess she made. Pictures were thrown everywhere.

“Did you know that all of these pictures were given to me by my dad before he and my mom got a divorce?” I heard her ask.

“If they were from your dad, then why did you…destroy them?” I turned around to see her sitting on the floor, her knees pulled up to her chest.

“He promised me that he would never leave me. He promised he would do nothing to hurt me. You know, The Wanted was only one part of his surprise. That surprise was for all of us. Hunter, he was my real surprise. My dad sent him here. I guess I would have felt guilty if I had turned him away.”

“Lo, Hunter is a good guy. I just don’t see him as the guy for you,” I said, sitting down next to Logan.

She nodded. “Everyone feels that way. It’s already out that he has a girlfriend. Needless to say, a lot of girls are not happy. They’re even madder finding out that it’s me. They think I’m going to cheat on him with one of my dad’s clients.”

“So, you broke all those pictures because you were mad at you dad,” It was more of a question, but it came out as a statement.

“Yep.”

“And did you know, when I was on the plane and met Nathan, it wasn’t even the first time I had met him?” Logan said, a sob starting to form.

“What do you mean?”
