I Found You

Chapter 9

I wake the next morning with my head still on his chest. Memories of last night flood in. My birthday and everything that followed was amazing. I'm replaying Jordan's speech in my mind when I feel him move under me. "Good morning beautiful." He says. "Good morning," I reply. "Want to go downstairs and see if anyone else is awake?" he asked. I half forgot we weren't the only people in the house. Jordan gets off the bed and pulls an old shirt over his head and walks towards the door I didn't even realize I was staring until he spoke. "You coming?" he said

We get to the basement everyone is still sleeping. I'm not even sure what time it is until I check my phone. 6:30 am on a Sunday no wonder everyone is still asleep. We lay down on the pullout couch where we were before we went to his room. Me and Jordan watch a horror movie about zombie animals it's not really scary, but it's not awful either. About halfway through the movie Jade wakes up. "Ugh." She groans when she sits up, "what time is it?" "Almost 8," I tell her. Shortly after Lacy and Brad also wake up. Dani is the last one to wake up like always. Me, Lacy, and Jade decide to make breakfast to surprise Dani as a thank you for our amazing party that she put together. We make bacon and eggs, simple but delicious. When we are done the whole kitchen smells amazing, we send the boys downstairs to wake up Dani. When she walks up stair her eye light up and she looks so happy. It makes me happy to know we could make her happy after everything she has done for us.

After breakfast, Dani starts talking about spring break and how she hopes they go to Halifax. I had no idea they were planning another visit so soon. "You should come with us when we go apartment hunting, maybe if we have you, we won't get lost," Jade suggests. It's actually a really good why didn't I think of that. "When do you plan on going, oh maybe you could come with us over spring break then you have a whole week of apartment hunting," Dani says. Then they go off into their own conversation about all the things they could do in Halifax. I think they might have forgotten that Me, Jade, and Lacy all planned to go together to find a place for the 3 of us.

Brad and Lacy leave around 1. Leaving me and Jordan alone since Jade and Dani took off to Dani's room well, they were talking about apartments in Halifax. Jordan asks if I want to watch TV. We go to the living room and watch TV without saying a word for about an hour, this is weird for us. We haven't really talked since this morning. At 2:30 I say I'm going to head home to get ready for tomorrow, the second semester starts tomorrow, it also my actual birthday. He stands up and I think he's going to walk me to my car that's still in Jade's driveway but he doesn't. He just gives me a hug and goes upstairs, without even saying bye.

As I drive home, I can't stop thinking about Jordan. He has been acting strange all day. Maybe last night wasn't such a good idea. If I would have known everything was going to be weird, I wouldn't have done it. By the time I pull into my driveway, I'm full-on crying. God, I hate this everything was perfect. I mean he declared his love for me beside a damn waterfall. That kind of thing usually only happens in movies. Then it hits me like a truck. What is that was he planning all along. Tell me he loves me and makes me believe it's true just to sleep with me then act like I don't exist. The thought breaks me, I'm crying so hard I can barely breathe when Lex gets in the car and hugs me. I didn't realize she even came outside or got in my car until her arms were around me. "Logan, are you okay, tell me what happened." I pull myself together just long enough to tell her everything, from his speech at the waterfall to what we did. "Honestly, he is acting shady. But you should try talking to him before you get yourself so worked up" she says when I finish telling her everything. She probably right. I pull myself together and we walk into the house.

"Mom and dad aren't home for their alone trip yet, so you can talk openly and freely." She said as we walk through the door. I don't want to talk about it anymore. "Oh, and before I forget I'm really sorry for snapping at you last night, I shouldn't have done it. I have a problem, every time I get mad at a boy instead of being mean to him, I take it out on everyone else. Remember the time I yelled at Lacy because I thought I saw Ben kissing Rachel, while right before you got there last night me and Jake got into a fight because he saw that Ben was texting me and wouldn't listen when I told him I wasn't texting him back. But anyway I'm really really sorry." It all makes sense now. I have noticed her mood swings before but never linked them to boy problems. Probably because we were never close enough before for me to really care if she was having boy problems.
