A Twisted Love Story

[Chapter 9]

Logan finally arrives right after I put on my dress and comb my hair. I walk down the stairs and fetch the door. I stand there and my smile fades. Leo is standing there. My ex-boyfriend. The guy that I broke up with 8 months ago.

"Kait," He breathes.

"What do you want? Go away!" I say as I shut the door but he pushes the door hard.

"I want you back." He blinks.

"No. You cheated on me." I reply. My legs are shaking.

I'm afraid of him. I might look brave right now but inside I'm weak. I know I can't fight him. He likes to abuse me. Once, I found out that he was having an affair with another girl. I don't know why but I felt like I didn't care. I realized that I didn't actually love him. I tried to date him cause I wanted to get over James but it didn't work. I broke up with him once I knew he had someone else. I acted like I care when I didn't. Even one bit.

I never loved him.

"Please," He begs.

"No, Leo. I hate you. I never loved you. Leave." I say as I shut the door slowly.

The door knob turns and that's when I know that I'm probably gonna end up in the hospital. He likes to hit me everytime I say no to him. He shows up in front of me. He raises his hand in the air when someone hits his head. Hard. Leo falls to the floor and I see Logan standing there. I hug him. Thank god.

"Why didn't you call me?" He whimpers.

"I thought I could handle him on my own." I look at the floor.

"Who is he?"

"My ex-boyfriend. From 8 months ago."

"From now on, I'll protect you. 24/7." He looks at me. "Come on. Let's go to the park."

"What about Leo?" I ask.

Logan picks him up and throws him on the ground. Ooh, that's gotta hurt. But, he's not awake. I chuckle and lock the door. We walk to the park since it's near my house.

When we arrive there, the stars are already in their positions in the sky. I think we're stargazing tonight. I've always wanted to this with James. Halston is one lucky girl.

Logan sits on the grass while I sit underneath a tree. I look at the sky and I see shapes. Probably a baby elephant. I laugh a little when I see those shapes. Logan suddenly calls me and I walk over to him. I sit down next to him and tilt my head up. The sky's a bit bright tonight. It's always dark, obviously. The stars and the moon light up the night sky beautifully.

"So, do you still like James?" Logan turns to me.

"How did you know?" I ask in shock.

"Kait, that doesn't matter. I just want to know if you still like him."

"Uhm, maybe?"

Logan sighs and look at the ground.

"I like you," He suddenly says.

I hold my breath for a second. Wait. Did Logan Philip Henderson from Big Time Rush say that he likes me? This is a dream. Nope. This isn't real. This is not happening.

"What?" I look at him.

"A lot, Kaitlyn. And I was wondering if we can be more than friends, I don't know." He murmurs.

"I......." I'm speechless. "I still love James. I'm sorry." I finally let go and stand up.

"I...better go." I say when, "Are you still hoping that James will like you?" I hear Logan stand up.

"Kaitlyn, I'm sorry but he's happy with Halston. I know you love him with all your heart but you can't force yourself to love someone who already has somebody special in their lives." Logan explains. I don't want to turn around.

"But, you told me to follow my dreams. And James IS my dream."

"And you're my dream, Kait. That's why I want you." Logan walks up closer to me.

"Logan, I'm sorry. I can't make up my mind. I really am," I can barely see him when I turn my head to the side.

I walk away and I don't hear him calling me. I head back to my house and unlock the door. I shut the door behind me and I lean against the door. I slide down to the floor, thinking about Logan's words. He is right. I can't expect James to like me when he has Halston. He loves Halston. So much.

I lock the door and walk upstairs to my room. I close the door and throw myself on my bed. I cover my face with a pillow. In a just a few moment, I fall asleep.
