The Morning After

"Hope. Hope...yes you're awake." I heard the speaker sigh deeply.

Where the heck was I? It was warm and my mind felt cloudy. All I remember was crying so much, getting a killer headache, and going to the park. Logan and Cade were fighting in the cafe...that's why I left. Keeping my eyes closed, I kept going over what happened in my head. It was getting dark out around when I left the cafe. What time is it now? I rubbed my eyes softly with my fingers, not caring if I smudged my eye makeup or not, and blinked a few times to adjust to the light pouring through the sunroof. Wow, I was out all night then. 

"Hope?" The person spoke again. Their voice was deep. I blinked a few more times and saw his bruised up face. His bright blue left eye was outlined with purple and his right temple had a bloody scratch. I frowned a little bit and then sat up. 

"Why did you have to fight?" I asked softly while bringing a hand up to the unharmed, right side of his face. He flinched but then stopped, comforted by me.

"Because I was angry. I can't let someone disrespect you and then not have to pay for it in the end. I love you and you need to accept that." he whispered, moving his face closer to mine and kissing my lips gently. We both pulled away and I pressed my forehead against his for a second and then whispering.

"I love you too but I really don't like when you get hurt because of me. He wasn't worth fighting. There's no competition between you two." I paused and looked deeper into his eyes. "You're the one I've always wanted and that is not going to change." I said, making sure the 'not' was exaggerated. 

"I love you way too much." He smirked and kissed me again. I kissed back and then leaned on his shoulder, his arm wrapped around my shoulder.. I noticed that we were in a black car with a man in a suit driving. Logan must have found me and called a driver to pick us up.

We got to my house, thanks to the very nice driver who opened the door for me when I could have done it myself. When I stepped out of the car I noticed I was still wearing the mid thigh length white dress I wore under my graduation gown. I smiled at the thought of graduating and going to college later this year. Los Angeles Film School here I come. Logan reached and wrapped his hand around mine as we walked to the front door of my house and entered. Nobody was to be found so I pulled logan towards the back door leading out to the patio and backyard. Both my mom and dad were sitting there cuddled up on the patio couch. I stopped in my tracks and covered my mouth with my free hand that wasn't gripping tight onto Logan's.

"Oh my god..." I trailed off. "Uhh okay." I said not trying to sound rude but Dad has a new wife. Mom's single but dad re-married. 

"It's not what it looks like." My mom said, shuffling over and standing up from the couch, and sliding her flip flops on. 

My dad stood up also, thinking it was the perfect thing to do at the moment. 

"Hope, I'm in the middle of getting a divorce with Kate..." He blurted out. "I told your mother but I never got the chance to tell you.

"Oh...um that makes this less awkward." I giggled. "It kind of makes me happy to see you two together again...I like it." I laughed and hugged them both. "Love you guys. I'm going up to my room to shower and change out of this dress."

They both sat right back down and Logan followed me upstairs into my room. "That suit looks uncomfortable. You can borrow some of my brother Daniel's  clothes since he's away at school still. He's coming back in two days but he'll never know you borrowed." I winked at him and then walked into my bathroom. I showered, brushed my teeth and blow dried my hair then came out of the bathroom in my towel. Logan was sitting on my bed on his phone, but looked up at me as I stepped through the doorway. 

"Close your mouth. That's not good for your jaw." I joked and then smirked at him. he was silent as could be. I turned and faced my back towards him, looking for clothes in my closet. After half a minute or so, I felt his arms snake around my waist and turn me around slowly. I looked up into his ocean blue eyes and saw his lips form up into a smile. 

"What?" I asked innocently and bit my lip softly, looking up at him.

"You look really great right now...in that towel. How can I resist..." he trailed off, looking deeper into my eyes. 

"Help me pick my outfit?" I asked quietly with a smile.

"Hell yes." He whispered, instantly connecting his lips with mine.
