Telly
--------------------------------------------
It's been two weeks since Logan got out and he has been plunging deeper and deeper into sadness. He didn't touch me and he barely talked to me about how he felt. Unlike me, Logan couldn't eat nor sleep or anything. And he was always in the shower. I didn't let him go home or anywhere without me. So he basically moved in with me. I watched him watch TV because I had become a full time babysitter. "Telly I'm 17 and I don't need a babysitter. I'm fine." His voice was hoarse because he cried all the time. He didn't want me to ask for help. And I was starting to feel terrible and like its all my fault. "You can stop watching me now." I ran a hand through his super long and not Logan like at all hair.

"Do you want me to do your hair?" I bit my lip hoping that he would agree. Most of the time I'm with him and he's like a lifeless corpse. And when I'm out with Remie or Moose , Jase always tells me that he really needs help. My phone pinged in my hand. Speaking of my favourite animal...

Him: R u sure that u can't make it 2nite???

I smiled at the screen before telling him that I should really stay home. As much as I wanted to go, I couldn't leave Logan. And I couldn't bring Logan to a place like that even if you paid me. He hated happy people apparently and would wander off and do something stupid.

2 minutes after I asked him my question he finally answered. "Yes you can do my hair." He frowned which was his type of smile and I pulled him into my room and into a chair. "Just don't cut it too short and no dye. The hair dressers will go apeshit." I nodded and brushed the long strands out his eyes.

"I promise that I won't do anything deranged to it." He was right. The hair dressers on set will go apeshit. "How much more acting do you have to do."

"Just next week. Since I was sitting in that lonely hole that we call jail, they decided to take a break. We only had 1 scene left to do." He shrugged and I carefully cut his soft hair.

"Tell me about on set. " I didn't want him to cry today. I didn't want him to cry at all. It only took me a few minutes for it to get back to its length from 4 months ago. He talked about all the people on set and the ones that he really missed.

"And then there's Emma Watson. She is one of the absolute best actresses ever. Like she's fun to be around. She's pretty and makes you laugh." He spoke dreamily of her. He gained a faraway look in his eyes that let me know he was daydreaming. I was glad that I got his mind off the ever lingering topic. I really want him to just relax. "There's just something about her. She's really awesome."

I think we established how awesome she is. At least she makes him happy. I looked down at my feet shamefully and then out the window. Rain was coming down lightly. "You really like working with her don't you?" I bit my lip softly and crossed my arms over my chest. He nodded and daydreamed again. If one girl like Emma is enough to make Logan a little bit better than something's wrong with me. Either A: it's the fact that she's a well known actress and he's really thrilled to be working with her B: I'm not doing a good job at keeping him company and I'm the one making him sad. or C: all of the above.

I sighed and left my room with Logan in it and followed the sound of a pinging phone. To my surprise it wasn't mine. Just as she was mentioned her name was flashing on the screen. I looked behind my shoulder and looked through the messages anyway. For someone who was depressed, he seemed like the happiest man alive. The amount of bubbles proved that.

"But you don't even talk to me." I whispered to myself and my shoulders sank. No matter how much I don't want it to happen, Logan was catching feelings for Emma. Quickly. "Hey L." I called and put his phone down before meeting him on my couch. "Um I think you're right. I shouldn't babysit you. I'm gonna go out tonight. Is that okay?" Looks like I'll be able to make it after all.
