Down To You[Wattys2017]

Chapter 42

I lay on Logan's side and watch him sleep. I mentally trace every perfect inch of his face.

I always thought that his life was close to perfect. He grew up in high society, never having to worry about finances. He is hot af, popular, smart and everything. But this beautiful man had fought lots of battles on his own, battle that can't be win by money nor fame.

He told me how he first thought it was just puberty at first but with time it gets worst. He would lock himself in a room for days, not wanting to eat nor come out. He won't talk to anyone then next day he would come out with all his confident self as if nothing happen. When it happened too often and unpredictable, his parents took him to doctors. When they cannot find any physical problem they referred him to a psychiatrist and they find out about his problem. He was immediately put under medication.

After years he got fed of the medicine and stop taking it. He was fine for a few months. Until one day, it hit him so hard. It seem to worsen up than before. Then he loses everything, his friends, his football scholarship for famous colleges that can take him to the very top. Also, that damn princess runs away quickly when she became aware of his physical and mental state. He doesn't give much detail and it's hard to fully understand since I am not him but it must have hurt him alot. My heart breaks for him. And I admire how strong he is despite all of that. And I can't believe she was even trying to get back to him. And she even tried giving me money as if I am a peasant she can get rid of. She can shove her money up her shameless royal ass. Now I am starting to wonder if she is still trying to contact him.

As I was starting to get lost in those murderous thoughts, I was pulled back by pale blue eyes opening and starting at me, looking so soft with sleep.

"Hey" I smile at him.

He give me a small smile. I know that he is definitely not in a mood to but still he give me the best he can. He was so damn affectionate so it is almost weird for me to see him like this.

"Hey" he said gruffly.

"Sleep well?"

He just nod and didn't say anything else. After a while he stated "You are still here"

"Well I tried but tickets are full so what can I do" I joked

He arm around me reach up to run his fingers through my hair giving a slight grip playfully,

"Even if it isn't, I won't let you. I'll book up all those tickets"

"Someone's being demanding" I arch my brow.

"Am I not always?" he challenges right back making me laugh. For a moment I saw the light flashing back in his eyes.

"Linda called today"

His body stiffen knowing where this is going,

"She said she couldn't contact you and Casey is damn worried after seeing that game. She keeps on asking for you"

He keep quiet and she understands its because he doesn't want to talk but not wanting to say that too.

"Logan, I do think it's a good idea to talk to her a bit. I know how much you adore her"

"I don't even know what to say" he mumbles.

"It is okay. It will just come out"

"You will be there"

"I will"

"I will call back then"

When the call was picked up, Linda appeared on the screen and give a little wave and was trying to say something but seeing Logan's expressions stopped her and she moved the screen to Casey with a puffy eyes,
