A Twisted Love Story

[Chapter 5]

I arrive at the mall with mom and I quickly run right after mom parked the car. It's not crowded. Thank god. I walk to the womens' department. I don't want to wear fancy clothes to the concert. I'm gonna be backstage only. I search for a shirt, a pair of a shorts, a cap and a pair of sneakers. I don't actually wear accesories.

Once I found all of them and tried them all, I pay for all those things. I didn't find the cap though. So, next stop, mens' department. After I pay for those clothes, I walk to the mens' department and search for the caps section, I guess. There are a lot of caps. So hard to choose. Finally, I found one and it says 'Obey'. Having a little bit of Carlos' style. I smile widely and pay for it.

After buying those things, I ask mom to drop me off at the park and take the things home. She drops me off and I search for Logan in the park. He's nowhere to be found. Then,

"Hey. Am I late?" Someone says. I jump in fright and turn around. Logan's there, laughing.

"Logan!" I pout.

"I'm sorry," He chuckles.

"Why did you want to see me?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Just wanted to hang out with you." He smiles.

"Okay, then. So, how are you guys getting ready for the last concert?"

"Pretty good,"

"Is Halston gonna be there?" I bite my lower lip.

"Yeah." Logan looks at the ground.

I sigh heavily and, "Of course she's gonna be there. She's James' girlfriend."

"She's a nice girl. Trust me. You'll like her." Logan convinces me.

"If you say so," I breathe.

"So, did you go anywhere today?"

"Mall."

"How's your dad?"

"Worst than ever."

"No offence but why did your mom marry him in the first place?" Logan looks at me.

"I don't actually know why." I whimper. "Wish I had a better dad though. Who works, who loves me."

Logan puts his arm around my neck and pats my back. "He's gonna change soon enough. I guess," He murmurs.

"Thanks. Uhm, I better head home now. I'll see you at the concert." I smile as I stand up.

"Okay. Bye." He hugs me then we walk to different directions.

I walk home quietly, alone. I kick the little rocks on the road. When I arrive, I enter the house and dad's in the living room, watching his stupid shows. I sigh and walk upstairs. I walk into my room and shut the door after me. I slide down behind the door, thinking about James. I don't know. I just like him so much. I've been waiting for him like years.

But, the problem is he has Halston. I can't break them up. Everyone will hate me. But, why would I break them up? I'm not that desperate, okay? Someone knocks on my door and I answer it. It's mom.

"Honey, I'm going out with your dad. You can take care of yourself?" Mom asks.

I nod my head weakly and shut the door.
