The Perfect Pitch

I buried my head deeper in the pillow as I inhaled the scent. This scent is somewhat familiar but at the same time not familiar.

This isn't my pillow by the way and I don't remember my bed being so hard. Then if I'm not in my room then Jace? No, this isn't his scent.

As soon as I raised my head up, a very painful headache slapped it hard. Ugh, my head is literally on fire.

I looked around and saw that I was in a very unfamiliar room. I love at myself and saw that I was no longer in my dress.

I was in a t-shirt but my panties we're still on. Ok, dress is gone but panties is still on, I can work with that.

I tried to recall what happened last night, did I get home?

Obviously not stupid.

Then, did I get kidnapped? I heard that they've been kidnapping teenagers this days. No, he wouldn't put me in such a room.

The more I tried to recall yesterday's events, the more my brain tore into pieces because of the pain.

I laid back down and closed my eyes. If I was really kidnapped then I should probably get some sleep before I die.

I don't know how long I was out but the sound of the door opening and the sudden weight on the bed was enough to wake me up.

"Arghh" I yelled when I saw someone's face directly in front of mine. This caused the person to fall on the floor. I rolled over to the other side of the bed to look at my kidnapper's face.

"Logan?" I said when I saw a familiar face.

"What a nice way to say thank you" He said sarcastically

"Why did you bring me to your house? You know where I live, you've been there before" I asked

"Don't you remember, you insisted that I take you to my house"

"Why would you listen to what I said? I was intoxicated"

"I don't know, I guess I couldn't say no" He said

"Alright but where's my dress?"

"Do you really not have any memory from last night? You puked on your dress and I couldn't let you sleep in it"

"So, judging from what you just said, you've seen me in my underwear"

"Don't worry, I'll still get flattered even when you're wearing clothes" He winked at me and my cheeks became extremely red.

I don't know if they were red out of embarrassment or what he just said.

"Here, I made you breakfast" He picked up a tray from the table and placed it in front of me.

"Everything looks so good, thank you" I inhaled the delicious and rich scent.

My mind wandered off to all of the time that Andrew cooked for me. I hate the fact that he's so perfect, makes it hard to move on and forget about him.

"I need at least brush my teeth then I'll eat"

"Alright, there's a spare toothbrush in the cabinet"

I went into his bathroom and brushed my teeth then I cleaned up my face and finished up my breakfast.

He dropped me off at my house after I was done at his house. I saw Jace leaning on the door frame eating an apple. I swallowed a lump in my throat when I saw him.

"You leave the restaurant early with Mr pretty boy, don't come back till eleven in the morning. Should I spank you till your eyeballs fall out or lock you up in your room?" He asked

"Um,um"

"You know, dad came home. You were so worried about him but you haven't visited him for days"

"Dad's here? Why are you being a jerk? You know that I have been busy with the play and all that. I haven't even had time for myself" I said

"Here, have an apple" He stuffed my mouth with his apple.

"Ew, that was in your mouth" I threw it on the floor.

I knocked on my dad's room door but no one answered. I guess he's alone then. I twisted the door knob and I was slapped in the face by the cold air from the room.

I sat down beside him.

"Hey Dad, yesterday, I saved a store from closing. I'm almost done with the case but I need strength. It's getting harder and harder and sometimes, I want to give up but I have to stand tall. I guess it's true that you'll only get to feel people's presence when they're no longer by your side. Please come back soon" I kissed his forehead and went out of the room.

"My,my, Julian is a big girl now. She's even sending me on errands, how cute" I heard a familiar voice. I turned around and saw a familiar slender and pretty red head standing in my hallway.

"Birdie" I ran towards my cousin and gave her a tight hug.
