Logan
We were due for the school field trip today. Thanks to mom and Mrs. P, Sophie and I were headed early this morning to the school to volunteer for the annual hiking trip on the old trail up the mountains.
We hadn't slept so much last night, which means Sophie was still fast asleep in the car.
The weather was getting pretty chilly since its the beginning of winter after all. Luckily, it was not snowing yet.
The reason why they hold the trail during the time is that most years and big animals are hibernating. There are fewer probabilities of any student being attacked by an animal if they strive away from us.
Plus the fact there are still a few does out there we can still see.
We were headed a little early since we were supposed to be there before the other students got there, so I stopped and got her a muffin and coffee and parked the car next to the school bus.
I woke her up and handed her her coffee
SophieThe days went by slow from thereon.Logan and I were close and I felt I was in love with him more each day, but I felt as if everyone around me were hiding things from me.Mom and dad were going on business trips more often, and it worried me. Mom didn't look so good. She looked stressed out, tired, worn out. She had lost a lot of weight and tried to hide it, changing the subject each time I asked her if she was ok.We were getting close to Christmas time and that meant two things. One- Our winter formal dance was coming up. Two- Christmas break was coming.My family usually goes off to a cabin we rent out in the mountains. I'm not sure that's the case this year. My parents have been so busy.Logan was busier than before since they had won qualifications for county champions. I was so proud of him. The thing that bothered me was that Carter was still messing with him and me.We oversaw his be
DylanI had the best night of my life with Troy.He was the best thing that's happened to me since I came to this town.I haven't had it easy at the base. Dad's team knows I'm gay, and they give me a hard time for it behind dad's back. I've learned to tough it out. It's nothing new to me. Not everyone will accept who I am, and it doesn't bother me. As long as dad and T accept me, and the people I care about, that's all that matters.I was on my way to see him after a talk to him a few minutes ago. He had left my house this morning in such a good mood, but he sounded a little down. I wasn't sure what this was about. Maybe his parents are home again and he finally told them about me.I know he may feel upset, but I really do hope he finally told them about me. I can not wait to be able and hold him in public. To be able to let the world know he's mine. To finally tell all those girls that are always drooling over him to back off.
LoganEverything began to go down to shit. I was so pissed off. I was hurt, and I felt my world was crumbling down to pieces.It's been three days, three long days after. Though, they feel longer.How could she do this to me? I love her, I love her so much. I trusted her. But all she did was play with my emotions, she lied to my face and played me so bad. She played with my heart.How could I've not seen the signs? I was so gullible.Worst of all, she hadn't come to school for those past three days. All her friends were scattered. Troy was eating alone with Lexie, and Dylan was hanging out with other guys from our school football team.I was in such a bad mood that the coach had warned me a few times at practice for hurting some of the guys. I didn't give a shit. I needed to get my anger out somehow.Besides, this is fucking football, guys should know it's a rough game. I toughed it out in the field to take some of t
One Week After the BreakupSophieI've been laying in bed for I don't know how long. Could be days, or maybe just hours. My head keeps hurting every time I move, and my whole body gives out when I try to stand.I don't have the stomach to eat a bite, regardless of how much my mom begs me to. She came home yesterday and has been on edge because of what happened between Logan and me.Mrs. Michaelson had called the school and lied on my behalf, telling them I was ill. No one seemed to question her ever, so they simply let it be. Perks of being a well-respected member of this town.Lexie has been coming daily to bring my work from school for me to do. It's still sitting on my desk, untouched, and unbothered.Logan has sent me a few texts, but I can't bear to see them. I'm sure they are full of hateful words and menacing thoughts. My heart is too overwhelmed with everything. A part of me wishes it was just a bad dream. I keep hoping t
SophieI finally had the strength and courage to get up from the shower floor after crying for so long. I dried my body down and changed into black leggings and an oversized sweater, placed on my socks, and walked out of my bathroom with a towel in hand to dry my hair.The house was quiet. The boys were probably in school, and dad had also gone out to the vineyard to work on last-minute details for an event they were holding this weekend.It was only mom and me in the house.I have been feeling down and sorry for myself these past few days. But I had to face reality. It was over between Logan and me. Whether I liked it or not, he was gone.I grabbed my phone and turned it on after it has been off for a few days. My phone immediately got flooded with notifications from Logan, Troy, and Lexie.Texts from Lexie asking how I was, trying to comfort me, and asking me to be brave. I had over fifty calls, if not more from my friends. But
SophieLogan lead me to the reception and helped me fill out the necessary documentation for mom while she was taken in.Everything seemed so surreal.Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming, right?I- I don't understand what is happening. Everyone seemed to walk about unbothered, while I on the other hand felt my world kept crashing each time I tried to place a piece back into place.I was so scared, hoping it was nothing and mom would be ok.She is probably just suffering from jet lag. I mean, she has been traveling far more frequently than before. Her body is just tired of going back and forth from New York and back. Right?Logan was talking on the phone while finishing the papers and giving them back to the nurse in the reception. She smiled weakly and asked us to take a seat. But how could I sit? I had to know mom was ok. Gosh, I didn't eve
LoganI made my way to the vending machine and decided on getting a black coffee to wake myself up. I took a few sips before placing it down, my hands against the vending machine as I yawned and tried maintaining awake."Hey man. You alright?" Steven asked, startling me. He hit my back lightly making the coffee spill a little on top of the machine.I sighed rubbing my chin."Yeah. I'm fine. Where were you? I thought you had gone home?" I asked him, turning my body and leaning against the machine with arms and legs crossed over."Nah, I went to get some grub for everyone. You hungry?" He asked, his hands lifted the plastic bags he held in his hands."I'm good. But maybe the rest will be hungry. Come on, let's get some drinks for everyone before we go back." I said, turning around and placing more money in the other machine, grabing juices and sodas for everyone.I had a few cans in hand and was struggling to pick up t
SophieI had to be reasonable, I think I was madder at myself than I was at Logan and dad right now. How could I've been so stupid to have not noticed mom was sick? And with cancer, to make matters worst. I am such a bad daughter. I got so caught up with my own things that I haven't spent time like I used to with mom. I deserted her and left her on her own to deal with her battle when she needed me the most.I slowly made my way back inside her room. She laid peacefully on that small hospital bed. The nurse wrote down her vitals and smiled at me when she saw me walk back inside."Hey, Sophie. I thought you were going to rest?" She asked politely, making me give her a wide smile in return."I changed my mind. I'm not really sleepy right now. I just want to stay here with her if that's ok?" I said as I made my way next to the nurse."OK, let me know if you need anything. I'll be right outside at the reception desk if you need anyt
