Chapter 9 : State of mind
Esmeralda walked into her house with Logan by her side. “Mom?!”
“In the living room, sweetie!”
They walked into the living room to see John watching the television, while Emily was silently reading. “Oh! Logan! Hello dear!”
“Hello Emily.” He replied, politely.
“Betty invited us and Logan to breakfast tomorrow, Bella and Erik are here.” Esmeralda smiled.
“Oh, that’s nice, did you see them yet? I miss those two.”
“Yeah, we saw them a while ago. So, is it okay if we go watch a movie?”
“Of course, dear.”
After getting some popcorn and drinks from the kitchen, they walked upstairs to Esmeralda's room. Esmeralda, wanting to get out of a dress, went to change in her bathroom, while Logan picked out a movie. “I – I'm just going to go . . . change? You can just pick out a movie from the bookshelf.” She stammered, before walking away.
Logan smiled at his mate's nervousness and hesitation and turned to look around her room. Across from the bed was a desk she was working on a few nights ago, her messenger bag was beside it, with a few school books on top. Besides a desk lamp, pencil holder, and I-Pod dock there wasn't much else on it. Over the desk, there was a bulletin board full of pictures and notes. Pictures of her and her family and friends and other people he did not recognize. Some of the pictures made his blood boil as their were unknown boys much too close to to her. And the notes stuck on the board, only fuelled his anger more.

And the list went on. . . curling his hands into fists Logan turned away to face the bookshelf beside her desk that was full of books on the top three shelves and CD's and DVD's on the bottom. On the very top shelf, there were a few awards, next to a few porcelain dolls and stuffed animals. He read through the awards quickly, wanting to learn more about his mate.
General Proficiency Honour Award – Esmeralda Maria Saunders
Award of Excellence – Esmeralda Saunders
Blue Moon Talent Show – Evelyn Penelope & Esmeralda Maria Saunders - First Place - “For an excellent performance of singing and dancing.”
Logan's smile turned into a frown. Evelyn? He was aware of everyone in Esmeralda's life, but the name Evelyn stumped him. He had no idea who Evelyn was.
Shaking off a terrible feeling and not wishing to ruin the good day he was having with his mate, he bent down to pick out a movie, from the few she had.
“Okay! What did you choose?” Esmeralda smiled walking back into the room. He smirked and held out the DVD for Scream. Adam had given it to her for her birthday and she had only watched it once, when he had slept over that summer. Esmeralda just stared blankly at it. “You're kidding right?”
“Nope.”
“But -”
“Scared? It's completely-”
