I Can't Let You Go

Chapter 9

Jasmine's POV
"Jaz! You finally picked up. I really, really need to talk to you!" Lindy exclaimed as I answered the phone. I was sitting on my bed in my room and I had been texting Logan for the past 2 hours and doing homework.
"Yeah, what's up?" I asked, slightly worried about what Lindy was going to say.
"You are not going to believe this! Logan was kissing another girl! And to make matters even worse, Danielle Miller!" Lindy shouted.
"Oh my gosh, are you for real?" I could already feel a hot tear dropping down my face.
"Yeah! Delia showed me a picture today. We're on talking terms again. I can't believe he was cheating. Jaz, I'm so sorry." Lindy sounded upset for me.
"I can't believe him! I have to go!" I hung up. I was crying even harder now. How could Logan do this to me? I really thought he cared about me, and then he cheated on me! I sent Logan a text that looked like this:

Jasmine: We're over. I can't believe you did that to me.

Right after I sent that, there was a message back immediately.

Logan: Jaz, what are you talking about?
Jasmine: You know what. Don't lie even more.

Logan's POV
"Lindy, come into my room quick!" I yelled. I was so upset. Why did Jaz break up with me? I was completely crushed.
"Logan, what now? I'm not going to help you with your homework again." Lindy mumbled.
"No! Jaz broke up with me!" I looked down at my bed. I didn't want Lindy to see me cry, and there were some tears falling from my eyes.
"Well you had it coming! You shouldn't have been cheating on her!" Lindy shrieked.
"Cheating? What are you talking about? I never have and I never will cheat on Jaz. I love her so much. What makes you think I would do that?!" I couldn't imagine ever cheating on Jaz. She was the best thing that has ever happened to me.
"Then why were you kissing Danielle Miller?"
"What!? I would never, ever even think about kissing her!" I couldn't believe all this. I have never kissed her. Ever.
"Then explain this." Lindy held up a photo on her phone of a tall blonde kissing Danielle. It may have looked like me from the back, but it wasn't me.
"That's not me! I don't even have that shirt! If you don't believe, search my closet!" I acted completely honest and I think that Lindy realized that.
"Then why would Delia show me this?"
"I have no idea. Maybe she was just trying to sabotage our relationship!"
"And why would she do that?"
"Because she's mad about the whole thing that happened a couple weeks ago. If she can get some couples to break up, there is suddenly room for her. I need to talk to Jaz!"
"Don't worry Logan. I'll talk to her." Lindy left my room and was already dialing Jasmine on her way out. I just can't believe I lost her. All because of Delia. And who knows if I'll ever get her back.

Jasmine's POV
"Lindy, you can try and tell me that's not him all you want, but I know it is. I can't deal with it." I stated. Logan cheated on me, and that was a fact.
"Jaz! Seriously! Just talk to him about it. Give him another chance." Lindy pleaded.
"No. I don't want to ever see him again! If he's hanging out with you and Garrett, I'm not coming. Plain and simple." Then I hung up. I still loved Logan. I really did. But he hurts me a lot, and I can't put myself through that anymore. I won't allow it to happen. So was it a little strange that I still like the person I broke up with 20 minutes ago? Yes, but it's complicated. So complicated.

Lindy's POV
It was finally Friday, after a long week. Jasmine and Logan broke up on Tuesday, and it's been torture ever since. All I ever hear Logan talk about is how much he wants her back, and Jasmine hasn't hung out with us since. She refuses to be around Logan. I'm glad that we are getting off for Christmas Break after today. Garrett and I are going to design our ugly sweaters tonight for the ugly sweater contest at the roller rink on Saturday. Finally, a boyfriend who will make ugly Christmas sweaters with me! Anyway, I need to try and make things work out with Jasmine and Logan. They are just meant to be together! They both seem so sad now that they broke up, and it makes me sad too. They need to get on better terms too because I am hosting a Christmas Eve party and a New Year's Eve party at my house and I want Jasmine to be there, but I'm not sure if she'll come since Logan will be there. I decided I would call her so I could try to convince her to come. I wish Jasmine would realize that it's not Logan who was kissing Danielle.
"Hey Jaz, you there?" I asked.
"Yeah..." She sounded sad, just like she had been all week.
"Listen, I'm having a Christmas Eve party and a New Year's Eve party, just like tradition-"
"Is Logan going to be there?" She interrupted.
"Yes, he's going to be there, just like you will be. I've had these since I was 5, and no one has missed one ever. I'm going to talk to Delia and make sure that she attends as well."
"I would hate not coming, but that's just how it's going to be. I feel like things are so awkward between us since he cheated, and I'm still heartbroken, and I can't be around someone who did that to me." Jasmine sighed.
"Jaz, we need to get some stuff straight. Logan mopes around all the time at home. He constantly talks about how much he wants you back and how he doesn't understand why everyone jumped to conclusions that it's him in that picture. And I'm not quite sure what was going on with Delia, but I'm going to talk to her at school today. Why she would try to do that is beyond me." I explained.
"Logan is upset about us breaking up?" Jasmine sounded pleased.
"Upset? He's crushed. Depressed. Devastated. He always says that you're the best thing that has ever happened to him, and he doesn't know what he did to lose you." I said honestly. It was the truth. He was so bright and happy when he was with Jasmine and now he's just dull. Any charm and personality he had in him was gone.
"I guess I'll come. It would feel weird missing one of your parties after I had grown up going to those. Anyway, we'll talk later Lindy, but I have to go." Then she hung up.
