How The Night Changed

Logan
It's only Alissa, Chantel, Jake, Evan, Lydia, Brenden, and I at the house now. Chantel and Jake started kicking everyone out right after Ayla left. Jake's in the kitchen with Lydia and Evan and everyone else is in the living room with me.

"It doesn't make since," Chantel says flopping down on the couch next to Alissa who is still an emotional wreck. Not that I can really talk because I am too.

"I agree with Chantel," Brenden says, "Ayla would never cheat on you. And being a videographer and an editor I can safely say that the video that Jake showed you was a little edited," He adds. It would've been nice for him to have said that earlier.

"I just wish we had some sort of video proof that Ayla didn't kiss Jake," Alissa says joining in the conversation. Wait a second. I think we do.

"Brenden, are you thinking what I'm thinking," I ask looking at him. We both have these idiotic smiles on our faces.

"The time lapse?" He asks me. I nod and run over to the corner of the room where there's a camera that we had on to film everyone arriving and us setting up. I grab the camera and run back over to everyone. They all crowd around me excited to see what really happened.

The video showed Jake forcing himself on Ayla and Ayla almost crying when I came in and everything after that. The poor girl. What have I done? "We need to go after her," I say and run out the door. Chantel, Alissa, and Brenden following close behind me. We all pile in the Yeti and start to drive into town.

Brenden is driving because the rest of us are extremely drunk. After what happened with Ayla and everyone left I started to drink, so did Alissa and Chantel. Chantel has fallen asleep in the passenger seat and Alissa and I are in the back. Her lips are so tempting again, but Ayla didn't do anything wrong. I like dogs. Wait-what? God, I must be drunk. "HowareyoudoingAlissa?" I slur.

"Better," she replies looking up and smiling at me. I look at her luscious lips. They look sort of like Ayla's. If only I could kiss Ayla right now. I could kiss Alissa, but I don't want to do that. Their lips look similar, so it probably wouldn't be that different. What am I saying? Alissa is not Ayla. But I do really want to kiss Ayla. It would probably feel the same. I lean down and begin to make out with Alissa.

Things start to get heated when Brenden breaks the moment up. "You two, stop messing around! You'll regret it tomorrow," He scolds. "That's if you remember it," he then mumbles.

"But it's fun," Alissa whines.

"Yeahhh," I slur.

"You know what, I'm just going to take you both back to Alissa's because it's right here. You're way to drunk to confront Ayla now," Brenden tells us as he turns into Alissa's parking garage.

Ayla
I sit, my back in the front door to my apartment. What have I done? I ruined everything. I ruined my life. I loved... love this stupid Paul. Why can't I be happy? Everything was going so good. I had everything I wanted. Logan was asking me to move in with him for Heaven's sake.

My phone goes off. I pick it up expecting to see a text from Logan, but instead I see one from Jake.

Jake
I'm not sure how Logan knows
that I harassed you, but there is
no way you'll want to move in with
him after I tell you what he did.

Me
Why do you want to ruin our
relationship so much?

Jake
Because he ruined mine
with Alissa

Me
How?

Jake
He fucked her

I stop typing. What? Logan did what? He wouldn't have. I guess it does make sense though. Oh my God... Logan fucked my best friend...

Jake
Didn't think that was
coming did you?

Me
Why didn't he tell me about this?

Jake
Maybe so he could do it again...

Me
No, Logan wouldn't!

Jake
I'm sure he would!

Me
You're messing with me!
This is exactly what you want!
Alissa would've told me if this
happened!

Jake
He's probably fucking her
right now.

Me
Stop! He wouldn't!

Jake
Would too. He probably has
a side chick too.

Me
You're just jealous!

Jake
Is that right? Honey, you really
don't know my brother as
much as you think you do.

I need to stop texting him. Logan would never do that to me... would he? He didn't tell me about Alissa, so can I really trust him? There's really no reason not to tell me what happened between them, but he still lied. It makes no sense. Nothing makes sense anymore.

I drag myself to my bedroom. My feelings? Numb. I don't know what to feel right now. What if Logan is fucking Alissa... No, he wouldn't do that! He's not like that! But what if he is. What if I just don't know Logan as well as I thought I did.

I take the small ring off that Logan gave me early and exam it. Suddenly I'm filled with rage. I throw it across my room and fall back on my bed breaking down. What if Logan doesn't know that I didn't kiss Jake. What if he thinks I did, so he's not going to come back. What if I lost him forever...
