How Much Do You Love Him?

Before They Left The Elevator
Logan
Chloe's texting me begging for me to send a photo just to verify that I'm alright. I don't think that she gets that I'm just stuck in an elevator, not being kidnapped. I would send her a photo, but Ayla's asleep on my shoulder and she'd get jealous.

Ayla is sleeping on my shoulder after I made a big mistake and kissed her. Ayla was freaking out and I felt so bad. I think part of the reason was because I was in here. I wonder if she knows Chloe and I are together. After seeing Ayla again my feelings for her resurfaced. The feelings of how much I love this girl.

I feel guilty for kissing her, but it was just so natural, so in the moment. How am I going to tell Chloe. I could just not tell her. No, no that would be worse than telling her. What will I say. I want to be with Chloe... sort of... No, I want to be with Ayla.

The elevator starts to move again. I stood up, shook Ayla awake, and hit the lobby button because Chloe wants to see me. "Ayla, Ayla?" I attempt to wake Ayla up again. "Hey the elevator is running again," I tell her as she opens her eyes.

"Oh... okay," she says. There's a slight sounding of disappointment in her voice.

"I hit the lobby button because Chloe was worried about me," I tell her. Great, now they have to see each other.

When the elevator finally opens I step out of it. I'm unable to get very far before I'm ran into/engulfed in a hug by Chloe. "I was so worried about you," she whispers in my ear, "Was there anyone else stuck in the elevator with you?" She asks. What should I tell her? We brake for the hug.

"Uh... yeah... Ayla," I say they turn around and point. Chloe looks behind me. I feel so bad because I know for a fact Ayla still loves me. It just seemed to not work. I wanted-want it to, but it'll never happen. As Chloe and I keep talking I'm not engaged in the conversation very much. I keep glancing back at Ayla to make sure she's okay.

I'm a horrible person. I hurt two girls in less than 5 hours. Two girls I love. Or, well I love one of them...

I look back one more time and see the elevator doors just as they close. I won't loose her again, not if I have a say in it.

Ayla
When I reach my apartment and close to the door I melt to the floor. Tears flowing down my face like it was Niagara Falls. My back to the door. After being there for a while I hear a soft tap on the door. My heart rate picks up. There's another tap. I stand up and without looking through the peephole, open the door. Right in front of me is Chloe Bennet. (A/N haha bet u didn't see that coming!!)

I look at her confused. Why is she here? What could she possibly want? Right then she opens her mouth to speak. "How," she pauses. It's seems that her words inflict pain on her. "How much do you love him?" She asks almost at tear break.

"What?" I ask in a quite, gentle voice. She looks at me, her expression almost mad, but more sad.

"Logan. How much do you love Logan?" I feel my face go pale, but I'm also swarmed with butterflies by his name, at the same time my heart drops.

"A... a lot," I finally fess up. She gives me a weak smile then nods and waves goodbye.
