If you like this story check out my story im working on now called Is It Meant To Be?<3 thank yoouuuu!

I woke up in my own bed. The alarm clock next to my bed read 9:30 A.M…by far the latest I’ve slept in. I rolled off my bed and walked to the bathroom after opening my door and checking for any sound of Logan being awake. He could sleep until 2 unless I wake him up. When I didn’t hear anything I went back into the bathroom and took a shower. I still smells like the beach and I smiled at the memory.

Was I really starting to fall for him? I guess it’s possible. He is such a great guy everything. I really realized my feelings at the beach. He was so messed up about the whole Lexie situation and I helped him forget about her as we had fun on in the sun. The way the sun shone on him and when we were in the water and his shirt stuck to his sculpted skin, it was such a turn on. The fact he has a sweet and sensitive side and a superman side.

Once done with the shower I slipped on jeans and a tank top. I figured we would just hang around the house and chill. I didn’t bother with make-up but then changed my mind to putting on mascara, did I want to impress him? No. he is my childhood friend, he’s seen me worse and it didn’t scare him away. Why am I so paranoid?

I blow dried my hair and then went in the kitchen to get my tea. It has been so long since Logan has been in his room so I almost forgot to make sure we was awake. I knocked at his door and got no answer. “Logan? Are you up?” nothing. I slowly opened the door. When I looked in I saw his little lamp next to his bed was on and his bed was made. No Logan in sight. I walked over to his bathroom door which was closed and knocked. Maybe he didn’t hear be before. “Logan?” No answer.

I left his room shutting the door behind me. where is he? The apartment was completely silent with no TV or kitchen noise, which is usually the soundtrack to our mornings.

That’s when I saw the piece of notebook paper on the island. It was supported by a cup of tea. I smiled and picked up the tea. It was still a little warm so I drank it, he must have left not so long ago. My big smile soon went away after reading Logan’s note.

Bree,

I’m sorry I left without telling you but I got a text from Lex’s mom last night and she wants me to go to hospital to talk to Lex to make everything right. I went to go and visit her and hopefully everything will be back to normal. I made you your cup of tea but with vanilla instead of honey. Hope that’s okay. I’ll be home around 2p.m. and maybe we can go get some food? Or go to the board walk? I think I owe you the annual stuffed animal I win for you every year. Anyway call me if you need me or text me. wish me luck!:)

Ps. Thank you so much for yesterday. That’s why I love you best friend!!

I felt like I wanted to throw up. He really was going back to her after all of that? I dumped the tea down the sink and started making a new cup. While it was brewing I slid down to the floor, my legs gave out beneath me and just cried. This is what I get for developing feelings for my best friend. I knew it would end like this, how could I be that lucky to be with him.

After my meltdown that lasted 10 minutes, I regained support from my legs and stood up. I added sugar to my tea and took it, along with my small cup of Ben and Jerry ice cream, and locked myself in my room to watch episodes of Criminal Minds on DVD. When I looked in the mirror I saw my mascara was running and I started to cry again. I didn’t bother turning on the lights on, its cooler when my room is dark and I’m just relaxing or doing schoolwork.
