Chapter 30

SAVANNAH POV

Logan hasn't contacted me in almost two weeks, which is strange because every day we'd talk and he'd come over to my place or I'd go to his.

I've sent him multiple texts and calls, but no answer to either. Usually, my phone would be blowing up and most of it would be from Logan. We would probably be at his house, laughing and talking about stupid things right now, but I'm just here in my apartment.

Brendan has been extremely busy with his mother and Alex discussing Peterson Manufacturing, and what should come next for the business.

I remember talking to Brendan a couple of days after he went to his father's funeral. I remember him saying that he wanted to fulfill his dreams of being a businessman. He had never admitted that to anyone the only people who knew were his parents.

Brendan was just like me in a sense. He still had no idea what he was going to do with his life, but I guess losing his father made him realize what he really wanted to do. Myself, on the other hand, still has no idea what I'm doing.

I smile as I remember thinking about Brendan as he surprised me at my door with the chicken nuggets in the teddy bear. It was a sweet gesture to apologize to me. I knew I couldn't stay long at them for much longer anyway. I was about to cave in.

Part of me can't help but compare Logan and Brendan. Both of them are very similar. Logan and Brendan have that arrogance that can be somewhat endearing. They both have that smile that you can't help but smile too.

I'm startled when I'm broken from my thoughts. My phone rings loudly, and I quickly reach over in hopes that it is Logan or Brendan. 

Xiu is calling me, and part of me feel sad because Logan hasn't called, but part of me is happy because one of my best friends is calling. Xiu goes back to NYU in less than a week, so I know we're going to be hanging out more before she has to go.

"Hey!" I exclaim happily, and I can already picture Xiu smiling. 

"Come over! I have to leave for New York pretty soon, we need to hang out at least one more time before I go." Xiu begs, and I grin.

"Of course I will. I'm on my way now since I have nothing else to do." I sigh, picking away at my cuticles.

I can already tell that Xiu is frowning at how my voice sounds so disappointed. I know she's going to want the details, and I don't want to argue with her again and nearly sacrifice my relationship with her all because my emotions are all over the place.

"Okay, when you come over we're gonna talk and get you to spill." Xiu warns me.

Every time one of us says that we're going to spill, I know it's going to be mainly gossip about boys. Alex and I end up asking Xiu about Levi and if they're even a thing, Xiu and I ask Alex about how great the sex was with Rian, and I'll get asked about my progress with Logan.

Or lack thereof.

"Thanks for giving me a heads up." I chuckle.

"Hurry!" Xiu exclaims, and I smile at her excitement.

Xiu has always been a happy person for the most part. The only time I've seen her down is when she didn't do well on an assignment because she's such an overachiever and she tries so hard. Plus, she got upset seeing one of us in a bad mood. But my little fits were completely irrelevant because Alex definitely had way worse things happening.

My heart somewhat races at the thought because I know they'll probably be disappointed and go right back to hating Logan because he hasn't talked to me in a while.
