Reasons To Stay • Brandon Flynn

Chapter 12: Fear

Nadine's pov

"Seriously, Nadine? Feeling a bit dizzy? What kind of excuse was that?" Logan scoffed when she stormed into our bedroom.

I was laying on my back then suddenly sat up. "What do you expect me to say then? The fact is i am." I fired back at her.

"Or is there something happening on your instagram?" This time she had her smirk plastered on her face. She was sitting on the edge of her bed, taking off her shoes.

"What?" I looked at her in shock.

"Don't be so surprised. I know what happened. Your notifications are blowing up, right?"

"No. I mean, yes. Ugh just forget it."

"I won't if it has something to do with Brandon. What happened between you and him?" She scooted over, closer to where i was sitting.

"Nothing." I quickly shook my head.

Sorry im lying. But nothing is indeed happening between us. We're just friends. And hanging out a lot these past few days.

"Liar. Then why suddenly the other casts of 13rw are invading your instagram?"

Oh about that. I don't know either. Im still trying to figure out.

But if i directly asked Brandon, that would be so awkward then i guess im not gonna ask anyone.

"Invading? No they aren't. I had no idea what happened."

"I don't know what they are up to, but i swear to god you're the luckiest person on earth."

"Why so?" I pulled my brows together, forming a crease.

"Brandon probably talked about you to them. Geez just look at their comments. They're indicating that they indeed had some talk about you, and Brandon probably has feelings for you."

No. He doesn't.

I scoffed. "Your stupid theory just doesn't fit."

"That is not a theory, oh my god." She rolled her eyes. "That is the fact."

"How do you know if that is the fact?"

"First, the comments." She pointed one of her fingers. "Two, did he really try to hit you up the other day?" She added another finger.

"Um, yes. He dmed me."

"Thats it. And then that was all clear."

"He was just thinking that i am one of his fans. That's important for him to act nice to his fans. He was just trying to be nice, Logan."

"That is true. But if he thinks you're just a fan then why does he always dm you?"

"What? How did you know?"

"Your notification bar. When you were in the shower, i heard your phone went off. I decided to check through your notification bar and voila i found his name, sending you a dm through instagram."

What? Oh my god. I have to be extra careful now. I don't want her to know that i have his number. Or otherwise, she could do anything to push me to ask him where he stays. Or even worse, she could practically go to my contact and save his number by herself. That will be okay if she won't do anything, like trying to intrude his privacy. But i know Logan. She will do anything to get what she wants.

"You don't hide something, do you?" She asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"What?"

"I feel like you're hiding something behind my back."

I nervously laughed. "Of course not. Why would you think im hiding something from you?"

"I dont know. You're acting... weird?" She shrugged. That was sounded more like a question than a statement.

"Im not." I sighed. "And im not hiding anything from you. Geez, just relax. If something really happened between me and Brandon, you'd be the first to know." I smiled. "And at this point, we're good. He's just reaching me out through my dm. Nothing less, nothing more."

Im sorry i have to lie.

"Look, i don't mind if there's something going on between you two. I mean, im happy for you. But no secrets please?"

I just nodded. "Yes. No more secrets."

"And if you don't mind, would you please do me a favor?"

"What is that?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Since you're now close to Brandon, can you please get me some informations about Dylan? Or simply get Brandon to tell Dylan to follow me?"

"Oh come on, Logan. Im not gonna do that. Im not gonna use him for something like that."

"Please?" She whimpered.

This is what i was always afraid of. Engaged in a conversation like this.

I tried hard to cover everything up, not letting myself know too much about Brandon just so i don't have to tell lies to Logan if she asked so many questions about him. Or Dylan.
