Logan point of view

I tapped my foot impatiently on the tiled floor. I've been waiting at Crusty's for about ten minutes. I asked Cece to meet me here a while ago, and she's late. Not that that's unusual, but still! This was really important.

I could not stop thinking about last night. Cece admitted her feelings for me, but still rejected me. Though, I do understand why. I dated Rocky for a while, both after the wedding, and just recently. That makes me her exe times two. That makes me her double exe! (Is that a thing? Eh, who cares, I'm still using it!)

Cece can't date her best friend's exe, and we both know it. If she did that to Rocky, it would crush her. She couldn't do that to her best friend. She cares about her to much. Cece's such a good friend.

That's one of the things I love about her!

So of course I'm really upset about it very much. I understand why she said no, but I really like her! I like her more than all of my previous girlfriends combined! I've been going crazy these last few weeks before of her! How am I supposed to carry myself around like this?

But that's not even the worst part. That's not the main reason I called to talk with me today.

When we were talking last night, someone was there. I have no clue who it was or what they heard and saw, but someone was there. Who was it? Was it Rocky? Was it some random kid from school that might have been in detention with Cece? Was it one of our friends from the gang? Was it one of the teachers? And how much did they hear? How much did they see? Did they see us kiss? And what are they going to do with the information they have? Are they going to tell the entire school about it? Are they going to tell Rocky about it? Or are they just going to keep it to themselves? And are they planning on telling me and Cece what they saw? Would they use it to their advantage? Would they try to blackmail us?

So many questions were spinning around in my head that it hurt. That's why I need to talk to Cece about this, and asked her to meet me here. We really REALLY need to figure this out.

For our sake; For Rocky's sake.

That's why I'm so anxious to talk about this with Cece. Some people may say that whoever it was just saw us kiss, but it's much more than that. We really need to figure this out.

Finally, just as I was about to check the time again, Cece came skipping down the staircase.

"There you are, Cece. I've been waiting." I said.

"Sorry I'm late." I said.

"Don't worry about it. We should probably sit down." I said.

Cece nodded in agreement.

We walked over to a two person booth and took a seat.

"Okay, so here's the thing." Logan said. "You said you wouldn't date me because of Rocky, and I respect that, but I can't just let you go."

"Logan, I'm really sorry. You know how I feel about you. I'd do anything to be with you, but I can't betray Rocky."

"Okay, I get it, but what if say Rocky gave us permission to date. Then would you take me?"

"Are you crazy? Rocky can't ever find out about this- about us!"

We were both silent for a second before she added:

"Speaking of which, what are we going to do about whoever saw us last night?"

I sighed. "As much as I absolutely hate to admit this, there really isn't much we can do. I mean, we can't just walk up to people asking 'Hey there, by any chance did you happen to see us kiss in the hallway last night?'."

Cece chuckled. "Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm pretty confident that it's not Rocky. Normally at that hour she'd be home studying, not at the school."

Suddenly, I felt a little more relaxed. "Yeah, you're right! And whoever it was isn't going to run off and blabber to Rocky about it, right?"

"No, I don't think so." She confirmed.

"Okay, then we probably shouldn't worry about that." I said.

Suddenly, a waiter walked over to our table and asked.

"Are you two ready to order your lunch?"

Rocky point of view

I sat down on my bed after eating a small dinner. I wasn't very hunger anyways. I was to distracted and confused to be hungry.

All day I've been thinking about Cece and Logan. Part of me was angry that they would do this behind my back. Part of me felt touched that Cece said no to him for her, despite her feelings.

I've been thinking it over in my head like a broken record. I've been questioning what I should do about it.

Should I just say nothing? Should I confront them? And if I do confront them, what would I say? Would I scold them? Would I thank them? What if they still want to date? What would I do then?

I can't just let them date, can I? But at the same time, they are some of my closet friends. The last thing I want is to get between them and their happiness.

"She said that she really likes him, but that they can't be together, because he's your exe, and she can't date her best friend's exe!"

Those words stuck with me.

Cece put my feelings before her own. I couldn't believe it! I was shocked when those words came out of his mouth.

Then again, why am I shocked? Cece and I have been best friends since we were five years old. She's always been there for me. Yeah, she's not perfect. She can act selfish, cocky, lazy, irresponsible, and a bunch of other things, but she's the greatest friend that I ever had.

When I didn't make it on Shake It Up Chicago during the second audition, she went to great limits to get me back on. When I was to scared to fly the plane to Japan, she found a way to cure me.

She's always had my back, so I should have hers...

That moment I knew exactly what I had to do. Tomorrow, I would confront Cece and Logan. I will tell them everything I've been told and know.

And I'll tell them exact what they have to hear
