Chapter 5

He hasn't snapped out of it yet. I've tried talking to him and he either ignores me or tells me to shut up.

I don't understand what I did. I've tried to look for hints of anything but I can't. I've tried texting him but he just leaves me on read.

I just wish he would talk to me. I don't like it when things aren't discussed. I guess we weren't really friends, but still.

I feel like I did something, but he just won't talk to me.

Today is Monday, so I decided I'm gonna dress up semi nice. I'm not used to this stuff. I'm more of a "keep quiet, and they won't bother you" type girl.

As I was walking to school I saw Logan. "Logan!" He turned around and saw me and rolled his eyes.

When I caught up to him he said, "you shouldn't be walking alone. It's not safe."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "You ignore me for an entire a week and finally tell me you care about my safety?"

He shakes his head. "I'm just not in the mood."

"What? You on your man period." He glared at me. "I'm joking. Calm down."

"I'm sorry. Just some stuff happened." I felt pity for him. I mean that's not an excuse for being shitty but at least he's opening up to me a little bit.

"Okay." The rest of the way to school was silent. But it wasn't an awkward silence it was a comfortable silence. Nice.

...

While I did the presentation, I stared at the ground and kept freezing up. It was embarrassing.

Now I'm at lunch and everyone that was in that class is giving me weird looks. Until I saw Logan. It looked like he was admiring me.

When he noticed me notice him, he looked away. I sat down at a table in the back. I don't wanna be around anyone.

"Hello." I looked up to see some girl who was staring at my food.

"Yeah?"

"Can I sit here? It's fine if I can't." I nodded my head and she sat down.

"My names Swayze."

"Autumn." She nodded, and that was the last time we talked.

...

Not only is Logan talking to me now, but I have a new friend, Swayze. She's really sweet and funny once you get to know her. We've been out together a few times, too.

Me and Logan went out to wat the other night at some diner. Paris is still riding my ads about him saying I should break it off before its too late.

I don't understand why Paris is being so negative about everyone. I mean, I know Paris has her problems, but still.

My mom and dad have been fighting more, but it gets normal after a while. It's like a cycle. Mom gets drunk, mom gets mad at dad, dad and mom argue. Apologize the next morning and it happens again.

I love them to death, but I've barely been getting any sleep. Sometimes I get brought into the fight and I feel horrible. Like I did something wrong.

I'm going to Paris' house tonight though so I need to be happy. As I'm packing my bag I get a text from Logan.

Logan
What're you doing tonight

Autumn
Over to a friend's house

Logan
Oh

Autumn
Why?

Logan
Nevermind

I left it at that. Last time I tried to get Logan to talk he got pissed at me. Plus, Paris is more important.

Me and Paris met in 1st grade during some intervention for books. We were talking about the same book so we grouped up. After that we just became friends.

It's senior year now. That's 12 years basically.

I started walking down the street and I see Logan. Huh? Why is he out here so late.

"Oh, Autumn!" He ran up to me. "Help."

"What?" He grabs my hand and starts pulling me ahead.

"Where are you going?" This house up he-"

"Okay. I'm coming with." He can't! Paris hates him.

"Why?"

"Stop asking questions!" We walked all the way to Paris' house. When the door opened I hid behind Logan.

"Why are you here?" She says annoyingly.

"Autumn."

"She's not here yet. She doesn't even like you so back off of her!" Logan looks at me on shock.

"Paris-"

"What the hell Autumn! You said you didn't like him like that! Why is he with you?!"

"It's not what it-"

"No it is! Leave! I don't wanna see either of you!" And she slammed the door.

"You don't like me?" He narrowed his eyes at me.

"No! I mean I do! I don't know! But I don't not like you! Cause I do!"

He shook his head. "I thought i could trust you."

I can't deal with this. I needed somewhere to go. My parents are gonna be fighting and-

"Autumn!" He shouted, interrupting my thoughts.

"W-what?"

"Come on. I have somewhere we can stay."

"But-" before I could say anything else he grabbed my hand, I teaching his fingers with mine, and started walking somewhere.

What the hell is happening?
