I woke up to cold air hitting me. Maybe it was just Logan shifting. I opened my eyes slowly and turned to my right. He wasn't there. It was obvious he left. I sighed. I knew last night was a mistake. I climbed out of bed and threw something on to cover my naked self. I didn't feel bad for what happened. It felt right. I looked out my windows hugging myself. For once it wasn't raining. I knew there was only one person to talk to about this. One person who would accept me back and wouldn't tell another living soul. One person who I knew was still awake and waiting for me. He would always be here for me. I made sure the t-shirt I had on was long enough. It covered the back of my thighs. Good enough. I left my house and knocked on a familiar door. I only waited for 20 seconds. It opened and a shirtless Jace appeared. He stared at me like I was an insect.

" Hi." I started.

" Hi." He said back.

" May I come in."

" No. What do you want. I'm supposed to leave you alone."

" Jace I need to talk to you about something really important." I sounded desperate.

" It must not be that important if you came to me about it. Confide in Jared. who by the way is cheating on you" He started closing the door. My ankle stopped it.

" I can't tell him about it." I ignored the last part, hoping that it wasn't true.

" Why not." Jace started snapping. He motioned for me to come in. I entered and he shut the door. We walked back into his room. He shut the doors and locked it.

" Because it has to do with Logan."

" Of course it does. I heard you two having sex a few hours ago."

" Jace, please. I don't know what to do. The worst part is, it felt right. But he left."

" Then it probably wasn't that right." Jace pointed out guiding me to his bed. " What was the real reason you came over here." He wanted to get this over with.

" Jace I'm sorry. What I did was wrong and I just wanted to apologize." I confessed. This wasn't going as nicely as I thought it would.

" It's okay. I'm sorry about your wrist. Do you wanna hang out after school like we used to." He started to look happy again. I hated to turn him down.

" I can't. I'm going shopping with Jared today." I broke the news.

"Oh. Okay." His face fell.

" I'm throwing a party on Friday at my beach house. I'm not sure if you already got the invite. You can come if you want." I found myself wanting him to be there.

" Yeah I heard. I don't want to go to a party if I know you will ditch me the moment we get there. So I'm not going." He stated his reason. That hurt.

"Oh Okay. I guess I'll just leave then." Ask me to stay. Ask me to stay.

" Alright ill see you around." I nodded and went back to my house. Who knew he would be so hostile toward me. I needed him But he didn't need me. I sighed and realized that he was gone. And I was alone again.
