There's A Hope Waiting In The Dark

Chapter 18

"We're moving in next week I think. We have a couple more things to settle." I said squeezing Jessica's hand because holy shit I've never felt more proud of her.

"Well, we will be waiting... long as we can have her within two weeks," Sarah said walking over to give Jessica a hug.

"I'm really excited to have you as part of the team Jessica," Sarah told her while she gave her a hug.

-------

"Thank you so much," I said back; I feel like I'm on cloud nine. 

"Well Jess we better go we got a flight to catch," Logan said grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers.

"Well, I wish you both a safe flight back. I will see you in a week or two." Sarah said, walking back into her office.

--------

As Logan and I boarded the plane we took our seats next to the window. Logan is absolutely adorable when he's on a plane. He has to sit next to the window so he can go to sleep. It's funny but adorable. The flight attendant gave us a speech about cutting our phones off until we reach altitude and such and making sure we were buckled.

"Jess, you want to sit next to the window so you can get some sleep?" Logan offered.

"No, sweet boy that's all you," I said chuckling slightly.

"Well at least act like you like me and cuddle with me..." He said opening his arm for me to lay into.

"If I have too," I said kissing his cheek.

"Mhmm, you do." He said kissing the top of my head.

--------- Hours later----------

"Jess, I'm hungry. Let's go eat before we go home." Logan said after we packed our suitcases into the car at the airport.

"Okay, also Kendall texted me while we were on the plane and wanted to know if we could all hang out again before we move..."

"Oh uh, yeah we can make that happen. I'll text him later about it. Right now I'm hungry." He said backing out of the parking space.

---------

When we got back to the house we were greeted by Logan's neighbor with the triplets who gladly kept an eye out on the dogs for us.

"They didn't tear up the house that bad, did they?" Logan asked.

"No, they were very good although they've rarely seen me they acted very well around a semi-stranger to them." She said.

"Well, thank you again for watching them for us, it's greatly appreciated," Logan said before she waved goodbye to get in her car. He unlocked the door an almost immediately we got attacked by our own dogs. Logan's Huskies basically dragged him into the floor and licked him to death as my little Dachshund tried to jump to my knee cap to get some love. I sat down on the floor and let my little dog jump in my lap and give me love, I missed the little guy I have to admit. Before I knew it though I had two Huskies pouncing on me licking my face. Logan whistled for them to get off me and to go lay down.

"Wow, they missed you. I can only imagine what it would be like going on tour and coming back to them." I said petting the dogs head.

"Yeah, they probably thought that's where I was going, lucky them though I wasn't." He said moving into the kitchen grabbing a bottle of wine. He grabbed two glasses and handed me a glass of my favorite wine.

"Thank you, baby boy," I said snuggling with him on the couch.

"Anything for you Jess." He said kissing my head.

"What else do we have to get settled before we move?" I asked and he shifted a little uncomfortable.

"I figured you would want to talk to your doctors and counselor about finding another one in NYC so you don't have to be delayed with anything."

"Yeah, I was talking to my counselor about it at the last session you know... I'll go call her." I said awkwardly getting up.

"Okay..." Logan said sounding unsure. "Jess," He called out as I was walking to the back porch.

"Yeah?" I said.

"I didn't mean for that come out the way it did. I just don't want you to make a big move/ decision like this and not have a therapist you trust to talk to baby-girl." He said walking behind me to the porch.

"I know, I know. But I don't want to have to have one anymore. I just want to be normal." I said falling into Logan's arms.

"Jess... look at me." He said nudging my chin up with his finger. I complied and looked up at him, his kissed my forehead then said: "Jess you're dating me you'll never be normal again." I couldn't help but laugh because that is indeed true.

"You know that wasn't what I meant," I said resting my head on his shoulder. 

"I know but I made you laugh so I achieved something." He said smiling at me then pecking my lips. "Make your phone call but don't feel bad about it. We all need a little help every now and then." He walked back into the house, leaving me to call Ms.Smith. I scrolled through my contacts until I got to her number then hit call.

"Jessica, are you alright honey? Did you black out again?"

"No, no... I mean yeah I'm alright, kinda, and no I didn't black out again."

"Oh okay, so whats up honey?"

"Um, do you know any people just like you in NYC?"

"Can you come into the office and we can talk about it?"

"Um yeah, I'll just run it by Logan."

"No. Jessica. Listen to me... you don't have to ask him to do anything. He's not controlling you, you just need to maybe tell him where you're going. We're going to work on that before you leave."

"O-Okay, I can try," I said, my anxiety all of a sudden skyrocketing.

"Go now while you're on the phone with me." I went as I was told straight to Logan. 

"Hey babe, what did she say?"

"I have to go into the office to talk about it."

"Today?" He asked.

"Yeah in between now and four." 

"Well, let's go then." He said getting up and grabbing the car keys.

"O-Okay," I said grabbing my sweater.

"Good girl Jess, I'm proud of you. I'll see you in a bit. Bye." She said hanging up the phone before I could reply."

A/N: This is a shitty chapter... it took me like a week and a half to write. I know I said no updates this week, but I'm at my mom's work and I'm bored and this chapter was almost done. If yall have any suggestions on how you think the next couple chapters should go then, by all means, DM me about it. There's a lot of scattered thoughts in the chapter... the next one will be better I promise. I also might be changing the update schedule. 

I hope you guys are all doing well, I will see you guys sometime next week. Keep an eye out for my book of stuff because I'll be posting the new schedule soon.
