Just Friends?

5 Days Later
Ayla
I'm back at my apartment. Which yes, is still under Logan's. Life has steadied out. Things are slowly becoming more normal. I still miss Logan a hell lot, but I had to break up with him. If I didn't I would just be a weight he had to lug around everywhere. Life feels off though. I'm beginning to think I made the wrong choice. I need Logan! Maybe we could work as friends, at least until I felt comfortable. I don't care what we become; I just have to see him, now.

I rush up the steps to his apartment and knock on the door. A girl answers it. It was Chloe. I feel like my heart has been stabbed. Why was she here?

Chloe's eyes seem to narrow as she steps out into the hallway and gently shuts the door behind her. "Why are you here? You know Logan's been a complete disaster ever since you broke up with him. Moping around, being lazy, have you seen the vlogs? You can tell something's wrong by watching them."

"Chloe I know-" I begin to say just as she cuts me off.

"Do you? Do you really? I hate seeing Logan like this, it breaks my heart!"

"Yes and it breaks my heart that I did this to him! I thought he would have moved on. I thought that he would've gotten back together with... with you, but I was wrong. Logan is not like normal guys, he's caring and holds true to his promises. This week has been the worst week of my life, learning..." I begin to tear up, "learning my sister died, Chloe that broke me! I  pushed everyone that cared about me away before that. That's when I needed them the most! I do understand what he's going through, and all I wanna do is talk!"

"I... I dunno," Chloe starts, she begins a sympathetic smile and opens her mouth to speak again, then the door opens behind her. I look up to see Logan standing there, his smile went from 100 to 0 in less than a second.

I meet his eyes. The look like he's been in pain. I open my mouth, but can't get any words to form. My tongue feels heavy. I want to- no need to apologize for what I did. I need him back in my life!

Things start blur because the salty tears in my eyes are blocking my vision. His eyes become glassy. Logan tilts his head down, breaking the connection between us.

"Logan..." I say, "I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry I can't live without you. I'm sorry that I made you feel this way. I-I... I'm." The tears spill over my eyes and rain down my face. I feel like my entire world is collapsing. My knees buckle and I begin to fall to the ground. Suddenly there is and strong arm catching me and Logan pulling me close. I feel warmth. The tears begin to move faster as I hide in his arms.

"Ayla, sweetheart, you'll be okay." He lifts me up bridal style and carries me into his apartment. Chloe follows close behind him.

Logan sets me on his couch, puts on The Notebook, then sits next to me. My head falls on his shoulder.

We finally reach the end of the movie, Logan looks down at me and I tilt my head up at him. His lips are so close, too close. I lift my head a little higher and kiss him, after a second I pull away, not because I don't love him, it's still too soon. The dream I had while I was in a coma is still too real.

"Logan..." I whisper.

"Shh." He tells me in a soft, gentle, smooth tone.

"Logan I... I can't."

"Oh... okay... I-I understand he says standing up.

"I still need you, but just as friends." There's a pause. He's thinking. Logan opens his mouth to speak...

ahhahaha after Logan and Chloe's first big fight over Ayla (the chapters were moving fights-girls and night out), Logan and Ayla agreed to just be friends, then I rewrote a lot before posting it... lol. until next time,
