Remained Unbroken

Chapter 5

Logan's pov

This was a very serious and urgent matter. I knew that my mom would probably be tired from work, and approaching her about this situation would not be a good idea right now. But I knew that this couldn't wait, I know that's selfish, but she really really needed to explain. I looked at the clock and it read 06:30. I didn't want to wake her too early because I knew that she was tired and I didn't want to be too selfish, but then again 06:30 wasn't too early, so I got off of my bed and went straight to my mom's room.

My mom and I were pretty close so I didn't have to knock on her bedroom door nor did she have to on mine. I opened the door and peeped in, " Mom? Are you awake? "I asked. She didn't respond, so I got in the room and looked around. It was empty. That is unusual. I went downstairs and looked for her in every room in the house. She wasn't there. Weird. I got to the kitchen and saw a note on the fridge.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY! I'm sorry that I'm not home. I took the morning and afternoon shift so that I can spend time with you tonight. Ill be bringing cake and we'll be going on a road trip this weekend to celebrate. Yay! There are also some stuff that I have to tell you, but that can wait till I get back. Love ya! Mwah!
Yours truly
Mom

Well at least she said something and not left me to worry. I went upstairs and started preparing for school.

Tris was waiting for me at my locker . She was talking to Dave and some other dude I didn't recognise. It was probably the other exchange student. "Hi." I said as I approached them. Tris hugged and introduced me.

"This is Jake, my boyfriend. You probably know Dave,my brother. Dave and Jake are best friends. "

They said their hellos. It was really weird that Dave would allow Jake to date his sister. I mean isn't that against the bro code or something? I really felt the urge to ask, but decided against it. If I wanted these people to be my friends,I might as well shut my mouth. Something was very weird that day, since I arrived at school, I smelled something different, something out of place .The smell became stronger when I was near Tris and her weird odd little family. I was getting nauseas by the second. My head was starting to spin.

"Uh, Tris . I'm feeling a bit dizzy."I said. I nearly stumbled to the floor when Dave tried steadying me.

"Whoa there. Don't fall okay. " he said with worry.

I felt something when he touched me. Like a shock of volts from his hand travelling right through my body. It made me do that awkward shiver. I think he felt it too, cause he let me go for a second and I nearly fell again. He held me close so that I can lean against his body .Everything around me blurred. All I could focus on was Dave. His messy blonde hair and green eyes. He looked so perfect. So handsome and a bit of cute actually. I didnt want him to leave me. But why didn't I feel this yesterday. I mean he held me and everything but I didn't feel a thing.

Tris cleared her throat. Dave let go of me. "Logan are you okay?"she asked.

"Uh yeah, I think I'm better now. I told her. Tris smiled and winked at her brother. Jake was quiet all the time and never said a word.

"Um Tris ,do you smell anything weird ? I mean I don't mean to insult you or anything, maybe my nose is playing tricks on me, I don't know. But something smells completely wrong,much like out of place. But I don't mean that it's bad,it's a good kinda smell ,it's just different and I just wanted to ask... "I was blabbering and I knew it, but I couldn't help it.

"Are you sure about that Logan ? Cause if you're positive then Tris was right . You are the one we came here for ."Jake finally said something since I've met him. He had a strong dreamy voice. It wasn't too deep, it was perfect. Probably one of the reasons Tris was dating him. He looked like a poet with his brownish red hair and his small stubby beard. He looked more like a model really who can really project his voice. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole cheer leading group fell for him.
