chapter four
Closing the door behind me I let one tear silently trail down my cheek. Sitting on the floor beside my bed I leaned into it and pulled the picture into view. Whatever happened to being there for each other forever and ever, I thought to myself. Sniffling I faced the picture down on the carpet and played with the carpet. I’m stupid to think he’d still be my best friend, I exclaimed to myself noticing my absurd trust in our relationship. I heard my door open and shut but I was too disappointed in myself to even look up.
“What’s wrong V,” Logan asked leaving me dumbfounded, I had expected Nathy’s voice or anyone but him. Slightly I smiled, he used my nickname.
“Nothing Log,” I answered lying through my pearly white teeth, twirling a piece of carpet in my finger I wondered when he would leave. Instead of leaving he plopped down next to me and I looked up.
“You can’t lie to me,” he stated with a concern glint in his electric blue eyes.
“Eh, nothing huge, isn’t your girlfriend waiting for you,” I digressed looking away from him and at the cream colored wall with limey green swirl, but not as vibrant compared to my happy eyes.
“It’s still something, common V, you can trust me,” he complained and I looked up at his blue eyes finding nothing but concern. Shaking my head I still didn’t buy it.
“Why should I, you haven’t been the same Logy, I left behind. You haven’t said a word to me, all you have done is kiss your girlfriend. Besides when I first arrived here you were not welcoming and now you ask me to trust you? Logan, do you still believe you are my best friend,” I asked my limey green eyes darkening into a dull forest green. He’s electric blue eyes also dulled and he took a deep breath.
“You don’t understand what you coming back has done to me. All I can do is think of you, and how you just left me. You didn’t even say goodbye,” he exclaimed and I bit my lip as my throat closed and it got harder to breathe. Looking back at the time when I left I remember begging for my mum to let me say my goodbyes, but she didn’t let me.
“I wasn’t given the choice, I cried the whole way to the academy begging my mum to let me say my goodbye to you. She didn’t let me, and you are absurd to think I would just leave without wanting to say goodbye. You’re my best friend, my everything. Honestly you think I would just leave?”
Closing my eyes I tried to breathe and succeeded, and then I opened them again to see Logy crying. Looking down I felt tears come racing down my cheek. My door creaked opened and both Logan and I looked over at it to see Nathy confused.
“To be honest, V, I never came to that conclusion until your parent’s brain washed me,” Logy answered and I sniffled while shaking my head.
“I never trusted them, why did you,” I questioned and felt someone sit to my left, looking over I saw Nathy and nodded at him.
“I was crushed, I really had no choice,” he whispered and I squeezed out another tear.
“Also, what was that whole ‘I thought she was died’ thing yesterday,” I questioned him giving him the ‘tell the truth’ look. He gave me a weak smile at it then it faded as he was about to answer.
“Your parent’s,” he answered quietly and I shook my head. Of course they would, I thought to myself.
“You guy’s knew each other,” Nathy asked completely oblivious to the fact that we were best friends.
“The bestest of friends,” I exclaimed and held out my pinky to Logy, he carefully intertwined it with mine.
