E: You what?
L: I. Love. You.

I back away from him.

E: Don't you think it's a little to early to be saying that.
L: No I don't... Bc when you know, you know.
E: Look Logan, you may love me, but I don't want to go to fast right now okay?
L: Got it.

He walks away, with head down and eyes to the floor. I can tell he is sad. But I did the right thing. It's way to soon to say I love you at this point.

Logan's Pov

She didn't say it back. I feel like the biggest idiot in the world. I shouldn't have said it.

Erika's Pov

The car pulls up and we get in. Logan sits next to me and looks disappointed. I frown and take the hand sitting in his lap and hold it. He doesn't look at me. Just continues to hold my hand.

We get to the club and enter the building filled with drunk and sweaty people. Logan continues to hold my hand till I see Tessa at the bar sitting alone. Her eyes catch mine and she lights up. I let go of Logan's hand and run to Tess. Logan stays behind and I catch up with Tessa giving her the news.

T: OMG ERIKA THIS IS HUGE!!!
E: IK!!! The only bad thing is, is that I can't get drunk. Bc I'll gain weight or whatever. So don't let me drink to much.

But what I didn't know was, Logan had enough drinks for the both of us.

We got through celebrating and I tried to find Logan. But he was no where to be found. I decided to head home, thinking he just could have left.

I got home and searched the whole house. He isn't anywhere to be found.

Hours pass by. Text after text. Call after call I tried to contact him. But no answer.

I finally fell asleep on the couch. Sober and alone.

4am

I hear the rather large door shut and my eyes flutter open. Logan walks in stumbling. I get up and help hit to the couch. Holding back my anger and confusion. I walk to the kitchen, grab a wet cloth and a cool glass of water with some pain killers. He doesn't look good.

L: Thank you
E: You're welcome.
L: Ya know I never doubted you making it. You the most beautiful girl I know.
E: Thank you. But I assure you I'm not.
L: If you weren't then why would I have bought this.

He pulls out a black ring box and hands it to me. I open it and it revealed the most beautiful diamond ring I had ever seen. I gasp and I tear rolls down my cheek. I put the box back in his leather jacket pocket.

E: Come on. Time for bed.
L: Noo!!
E: please I'm tired
L: Fine.

I take him upstairs and help him out of his clothes. He tries to kiss me but I move back.

E: Not tonight.
L: Okay.

He turns to the bed and stumbled to bed. I follow him and get under the sheets in one of his huge merch tees. He wraps his arms around my waist and was sound asleep in no time. But I wasn't. I could even if I wanted to. All I could think about was that damn ring.
