Upside Down

Twenty Five

If I am being honest with myself, I think I would be okay if I never saw Logan again.

He's caused me and his family too much pain at this point for me to be happy about his return. He didn't even call his mom to explain himself. He just dropped off the face of the planet and expected all of us to be fine with it.

Did he not think we would come looking? Did he think he doesn't matter to any of us? Of course he does. He means a lot to his family and to me. At least, he did mean a lot to me.

I'm not so sure anymore.

Seeing that picture of him with Leigh in her perfect little bed with her perfect little body on top of his made me sick to my stomach. He looked comfortable. Like he wasn't even upset about leaving his family. Like he didn't even remember I existed. It's like none of that mattered anymore.

It hurt. I'm not going to lie. It hurt. A lot.

He has seemed to move on. In all ways he has moved on his life. Me and his family mean nothing to him anymore.

And now, he means nothing to me. Two can play at that game, Logan. I will cut him out of my life because what we had has clearly become toxic so quickly.

He is no longer the man I fell for. He's changed and who he has become isn't someone I want in my life anymore. I can't handle that stress. I can't handle any more stress than I already have in my life.

Downstairs, I hear a lot of commotion going on. Worried about what is happening, I rise from the safety of my bed and make my way down the steps.

Through the chaos, he stands there, never breaking eye contact with me. I stare at him, frozen in my spot on the stairs.

Do I continue down and welcome him home with open arms or do I ignore him and return to my room?

My heart tells me to jump into his arms and kiss him. I missed him and I am glad that he is home.

But my brain tells me something completely different. It tells me to run. It says this boy is no good for me.

Which do I trust? My brain or my heart?

I thought I knew what I wanted. I thought I was positive about how I feel about him now that he has pulled this stunt.

But now, after seeing him again, I'm really not sure.

Authors note: happy (late) thanksgiving! I am thankful for all of you guys. You all mean so much to me.

Question: what do you think will happen now that Logan is back? Will things return to normal or will it never be the same again?

Again, I'm so sorry this took me so long to get to you. Thanksgiving has me super busy this last week!
