New Start (Logan Lerman)

No Cars Go

Logan's POV



Ana drove off for 15 minutes. I noticed she was in no condition of driving so we made a stop and I took the wheel. We headed back to our home, the first hour of drive we remained silent. At first it was nice, you know, sharing silence with someone very special that it doesn't feel awkward. But then I had the urge of talking to her, laughing with her. I wanted to know how she felt, what happened back there. I wanted to leave her alone and let her arrange her thoughts. But I couldn't.

I hate to over think everything, I get caught up in my thoughts I forget the real purpose of it. So, I went for it.

"You know, your mom was very nice." Not exactly what I wanted to say to break the ice but, whatever's good. I took my eyes away from the road to see what she'd do.

She forced a smile. I looked back at the road and searched for her hand. She grasped mine and started to play with my fingers. She turned her body facing me and stared at me.

"Are you ready to talk?" I said gently.

She nodded. "Do you remember the men that where sitting with Daniel and his parents?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Turns out..." She paused and she was looking down at our hands, "... Um. They. Are. My brothers."

I looked at her and she was looking at me waiting for my reaction. I can't say I was surprised. After all, they were acting a little weird. All of them. I held up her hand and kissed the top of her hand.

"I don't know what to say... Um. D-do you, do you plan on keep in contact with them?"

"I don't know. I just think... I don't know. It's not that easy like when you are given a new pet."

"I understand... Whatever your decision is I'll support you."

"Thanks..."

"No problem" I smiled.






Ana's POV




Current time: 7:30 pm



"Throw me another pillow, will you?" I told Logan as he walked by the pile of pillows next to our bed. He placed it on my side of the bed and he went to the bathroom.

I turned off the lights and I was already in bed when he came back. He was just wearing sweatpants I could see the outline of his muscles as he walked away,"I'll be back in a minute..."



Logan's POV




When I came back from the kitchen, Ana was already half asleep. I tried not to move her much when I got in bed. But she opened her eyes and smiled. "Isn't it a little bit early to got to sleep?" I asked her as I hugged her.

"I'm just tired." She mumbled. I kissed her top of her head and she fell asleep slowly and then all at once.



Morning...



I woke up to the smell of pancakes. I headed downstairs to find Ana setting the table.

After breakfast we took a shower and got dressed. I told Dean I would go to the studio and join them while they recorded their future single. I kissed Ana goodbye and grabbed the keys to my car and headed to the studio.




Ana's POV



I was laying on the sofa with my cellphone on my chest. I was looking at the ceiling. I was thinking fast, way too fast. Logan left with his friends, honestly I'm glad he did. It's been a long time since has hung out with them without me.

My phone vibrated. I looked at the screen and it was Aaron. I let it rang and he was sent to voicemail. He called again. And ignored him once again. Five minutes passed and he called again. I answered.

"What is it?"

"Hello, how are you?"

"Aaron, I'm busy." I lied.

"Come on, sis. We just wanna talk."

"We?! Don't tell me you're with dad."

"You think I'm stupid?"I was about to reply."Don't answer that..."

"Who are you with?"

"Ah! I made you smile..."

"Whatever."

"I'm surprised it affected you that much. After all dad always fucks up."

"Yeah well... There's always a first time."

He chuckled,"I'm in Hollywood. What time can we meet?"

"How about now?"

"Thank god you said that... Open the door then."

I walked to the window to see if he was really here.

"You're not here..."

"The fuck I am... Open the front gate."

"I'll be there in a minute."

I went outside and walked to the front gate, it's supposed to be automatic but I haven't called someone to fix it. I saw Aaron standing up in front of the gate waving his hand. When I got closer I saw two cars, in the other other it was Ferruccio. Aaron was in a Maserati. How do I know it's Maserati? It's mum's family business besides the logo is Poseidon's trident and they usually have it in front of the car. I waved at him and he waved back.

"Hop in." Aaron said. As I got closer I saw Ferruccio driving an Audi. I open the door and sat next to Aaron. "Do you wanna go someplace else or ... ?" He said.

"It depends..."

"Depends on what?"

"on why are you here."

Aaron stared at me and signalled Ferruccio with his left hand. He drove and seconds later we were in front of my house. We got out and I hugged him and half hugged Ferruccio.

"Please, come inside..." I told them as I led them to the living room. They took a seat and offered them something to drink. Ferruccio accepted some water and Aaron wanted something sweet and refreshing. I went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator and poured cold water on a tall glass of water. I grabbed a Mason jar and poured some homemade pink lemonade.

"You have a beautiful house..." Ferruccio said as I handed him the glass of water. "Thanks" I replied and gave him a half smile.

"Sis, we need to talk." Aaron sipped from the straw.

"About what?" I said

"Dad... and mom... and this whole situation."

"Okay. Fine. Let's talk."

"Dad wants to talk to you..."

"Oh yeah? About what? To tell me I have a sister or that my mum isn't really my mum..."

"Now don't be so stupid. You're smarter than that."

He's right. I needed to control my temper. I agreed we would talk and that's what I'll do. Talk.

"Look... We are here because we thought we needed to interfere."

"Didn't it crossed your mind that what I needed was some time and space?"

They stared at me, I think they understood. "Well it didn't crossed our minds until now, but what the hell. We are already here." Aaron said.

I looked at Ferruccio. "Okay. Listen. I'm not mad at you Ferruccio, nor Santino, nor Maximo." Goddamit they had really long names, what the hell dad. I'm glad mum chose my name and Aaron's. "It's just too much to take it at once."

"I am mad at dad, and upset with you..." I referred to Aaron.

"What did I do?"

"It's what you didn't... You knew about them and you never told me, not even mum. At least a 'heads up, we have three brothers' would be suffice."

"You really think I would keep a secret like that to our mom?"

I stared at him.

"Oh. Dad doesn't know mom knows. When I found out dad told me he would help me to set a business. And he did, he invested in my business as long I didn't tell mom, but I still did."

"I thought you started your business with granddad's inheritance."

"No. We inherit that money when we move out of the house. I still lived with mom and dad when I started my business. But that's not the point. The point is that mom knew all along. Dad was the one who had to tell you about them, not me, not mom, not them but dad himself."
