To the Beach

Chapter 21

🌹Cascade's pov🌹

By the time I got out of bed Aubrey was already gone, and she didn't say goodbye, to anyone. I tried texting her but she never replied, and I never was one for phone calls. "Ooh my butt buzzed!" I looked to see who it was, expecting it to be Logan, but to my surprise it was Hayden.

H-Hey is Bre still here?

C-No did she come to the cafe yesterday?

H-No.

C-She did see us talking to each other, I think she was jealous and didn't want to see you. She is known to hold the longest grudges known to man.

H-True, I just really miss her. I keep blaming myself for her pain.

C-Well it is kind of your fault.

H-Shutup.

C-What ever I gtg.

I threw my phone back on my bed and opened the door to my closet. I grabbed my favorite pair of black shorts and a dark navy blue crop top. I grabbed a pair of black converse and my glasses and put them all on. I looked in my mirror and brushed out my thick blonde hair. I looked at the empty picture frame that used to hold a picture of Logan and debated what picture I should put in next. I was thinking about putting a picture of Callie, Aubrey, and I, but the problem was, which one do I use. I had so many of them it was hard to choose.

I looked through out old pictures and found one of us facing the sunset. Spelling out the word 'love' with our fingers. I carefully placed it in the frame and continued on with my life, now that the empty frame crisis was over.

I looked at my phone again like I was expecting something, but I wasn't. I guess I wanted Logan to text me to say we should get back together, or Bre to call and apologize, or for Facebook to tell me I have five notifications and three friend requests but I knew it wasn't going to happen. Logan doesn't want me back, Aubrey isn't sorry, and I have no friends to give me requests. My life was a one hundred piece  puzzle and I was missing ninety nine of them. Maybe I looked at my blank screen for answers, or where to find my missing puzzle pieces, but that wasn't there either. It was just a blank lifeless screen, nothing to make me feel better, nothing to give me answers, just a black wallpaper with a lifeless tree and my favorite version of a life quote, 'the best thing in life is quotes that tell you what the best thing in life is, and here's a picture of a tree.' Usually that was enough to make me smile but not today, it was one of those days, a gray tint covered my vision and a dark thought covered my mind, it was just one of those days.

I put my phone down laying the screen against the soft blanket and fell backwards on my bed. I closed my eyes. A feeling of peace fell over me as I began to drift of into my own fantasies. The world was perfect, I was at the beach with my hand locked in Logan's, Aubrey was laughing at Hayden, and Callie was surfing with Rascal. It felt like the puzzle pieces were in place, all I needed was my sisters to be happy, and my hands to be locked with Logan's, but that wasn't the way things were, and I don't think it would be that way for a while.

I heard buzzing from beside me.

L-Hey I know I messed up but meet me at the cafe asap

C-What do you want

L- You Cascade, I was stupid and I did the wrong thing. I know I hurt you but if I could go back in time I would kiss you instead of her. Please forgive me, besides I know you, I know your still hanging on to us, you don't let go that easy

He was right I don't.

C-Ok I'll meet you there, just don't be stupid again

L-There's two things that I can promise you, 1.I won't ever be stupid enough to hurt you again 2. I will love you until the very end

Then I opened my eyes and realized that none of that happened and Logan didn't love me. He didn't need me. He wasn't sorry, and I was alone.
