Can't Stop Runnin'

Chapter 15

Elise's POV

I wake up from a greatly needed sleep with an arm around my waist.

"Ashton?" I quietly ask. I don't want to move to look, it might wake them up.

"Nope, just me." Logan says, sitting up.

"Sorry. I'm used to Ashton there." I blush.

"It's okay. I get it." he stretches.

"Do you want breakfast?" I ask.

"Sure, what do you have?" I actually don't know what we have.

"Ummm... I could make waffles?" I think we have the right stuff for that.

"Sure." he smiles.

I love his bed head.

"I guess I should get to making that." I start to pull off the covers.

"I mean, I'm not that hungry." he says, putting the covers back over my legs.

I smile.

"Are you sure?" I make sure.

"I'm positive." He smiles a brilliant smile back.

I lay back down and face him.

"So, what's changed since I left?" I ask.

"Not much. My grandmother died." his smile slightly fades.

"I'm so sorry." I look at the ceiling.

"It's okay. I don't want to bring it back up." he tries to change the subject.

"Well, what else is new?" Hopefully some good news.

"I learned how to make eggs finally, my parents got a puppy, and I have started a collection of old screws." he tells me.

"That's interesting, especially the screw part." I say, looking back at him. He's looking at me too.

"Yeah, I don't really know why. I guess I just like how they look." he shrugs.

"Do you have a girlfriend, or anyone that you want to be your girlfriend?" Logan and I used to tell each other everything, so this wasn't a strange question to ask.

"No one since you." I lay on my back to hide my smile.

"So no one new that you like?" I innocently ask. Well I thought it was pretty innocent.

"Why do you ask?" I catch him look at me.

"I mean, I'm sure if you were to like a girl that you could get her to date you very easily." I glance at him. His face is focused, but happy. He is staring at my ceiling fan.

"There is someone I like, but I don't think that they like me back."

"Do I know them?" I want to learn more about what he likes.

"I would think so." Hmm who do I know that Logan knows?

"What's their name?" I turn back on my side.

"Elise." he stays staring at my fan.

"Oh." I see him blush. I blush too.

We sit in silence for close to ten minutes.

"Do you like anyone?" He breaks the silence.

"Yeah, I do. I like Ashton, but I also like someone else." I tell him.

"Do I know them?" He asks the same question I did.

"Mhmmmm. " I say.

"Can I know their name?"

"If you really want to." I don't want to look at him right now, my smile is already big enough.

"I do." I can tell he is a little nervous for the answer.

"Logan."

"Can I ask you something, Elise?" He turn back on his side, so I do the same.

"Yeah." I know what he's going to ask.

"Will you, you can say no, but will you go out with me?" He asks. I want to, but what if Ashton comes back.

"Yes." my heart speaks for me.

"Okay." Logan blushes.

"I'll be right back." I tell him.

"Okay."

Who should I tell first? Maybe I should make an announcement to everyone at once. I guess I should probably wait till it's okay with Logan. I'm hungry. In the fridge we have condiments, and leftover steak. In the cabinets we have cereal. Eh, I don't really like eating anyway.

"Logi?" I used to call him that when we were younger.

"Yeah?" He sits up.

"We don't really have anything to eat... But we can go out to a restaurant or the store or something." I tell him.

"We should go to the store. It'll be our first adventure as a couple." he laughs.

"Yeah, that'd be fun." I smile. "I guess we should probably get ready." I leave my comfortable spot in the doorway to go see what clothes I have clean.

"I think we should go in our pajamas." Logan grins. "It'll be part of the adventure."

"Okay, just let me brush my hair." I grab my brush. The only reason I agreed to going in pjs is because I'm wearing sweatpants and a T-shirt that don't look bad together. I throw my hair up into a messy bun, and walk out of the bathroom.

"Ready?" Logan asks, he still with bed head.

"Ready."

We drive to Target to get some simple breakfast things. Logan and I get waffles and ice cream. Our plan is to make an ice cream sandwich using waffles as the bread and ice cream as the filling or whatever you want to call it.

"It's good." Logan says, stuffing his mouth with another bite.

"Yeah." I take my last bite.

There's a loud knock on the door.

"I'll get it."

When I get to the door there's is only a box. I didn't order anything, maybe Julie or Dana did. But it doesn't have anyone's name on it.

"Who was it?" Logan comes up behind me.

"It was just a box, but there's no name on it. Only my address." I tell him.

"Open it."

I get a knife and open the box. It's a DVD in a clear case.

"Do you want to watch it?" I ask Logan.

"Sure." he says.

We put the disc in. The screen starts out black, then it goes to Ashton. There are five people around him. He's all tied up and in a dark room.

"What are they holding?" I ask Logan.

"I think it's... Uh... i think that they're holding guns." He guesses.
