Chapter XX

Samantha Stewart

"No, I haven't returned any of his messages and I am not planning to. Why are we even talking about him? He still makes me sick to this day and I'm never going to let myself be fooled by him again." Becky and I were sat across my bed on a Saturday night while watching some cheesy romantic film on my laptop when she started talking about the 'Logan' topic.

"Have you at least given him a chance to explain himself?" Chance my ass.

"Boys like him don't deserve second chances, Becks. And what's there to explain anyway? From the moment he realized I was gone, he immediately went looking for another girl to keep him busy instead of looking for me. That's fucked up, even for him." She closed my laptop shut to focus on me instead of the movie. "Hey! I was watching that!" I yelped.

"We've had enough of Peter Kavinsky for the night yeah?" I rolled my eyes and stuffed myself with the junk foods around me. "We need to talk about your relationship Logan and not about any other shenanigans like Peter K." I grunted.

"I told you, there's nothing to talk about. He and I are over before we even started." And it was true. I've never actually let myself get too attached to him so I wasn't really feeling too bummed about the break-up. But I do feel bad about the fact that he cheated. It made me feel replaceable and I didn't like the feeling of being replaced.

"Sure, but have you seen the guy? He hasn't been the same since you came back. He's always alone and never got near that bitch Natalie again because he knew how you'd feel about it." I rolled my eyes at her.

"I don't care if he stopped seeing Natalie. The damage has been done and isolating himself from everybody else including the girl doesn't nearly justify what he did." She chuckled.

"What did he do, Sam? Enlighten me with your knowledge and wisdom of the happenings that happened while you were gone." I opened my mouth and closed it shut. "Exactly. You don't know what happened or if there's anything that happened at all between Logan and Natalie. So why the hell are you torturing yourself with the fact that he cheated on you when you don't even know if he really did?" I looked down at my phone when another text popped up coming from Logan himself.

"She called me the tutor." I defended with a pout.

"Of course she would. She's Natalie Brown, the biggest bitch there is." I glared at her.

"You're not making me feel any better you know?" She let out a laugh and sat closer in front of me to hold both my hands that were placed on my lap.

"But he chose you, Sam. The moment you got back, he obviously distanced himself away from her because he didn't want you to get the wrong impression." I scoffed.

"A few days ago you hated him more than I did and was so against the idea of me taking him back and publicizing our relationship. But now you're talking me into giving him another chance? I mean- make up your mind woman!" She laughed at me before talking seriously once more.

"That's true but you know me, I tend to see the good side on people and right now I'm seeing Logan's. And I know you can see it too." I scoffed once more.

"No I don't." I huffed.

"Just give him a chance to explain and then decide whether to take him back or not. It's all up to you in the end anyways." I looked down at my phone and decided to finally open at least one of his messages.
