Finding love in a game of cat and mouse

Skyla

After a while I couldn't sleep anymore. I woke up and I looked around. Finley was sleeping on a cot with vera. Josh and Logan were sleeping on the couch. Sitting straight up. I couldn't help but almost smile. I stopped myself though. I didn't want the pain with it.

I reached over grabbing my phone on the stand .

12:24.

I widened my eyes at the simple fact I had slept for almost 24 hours. I opened my texts and texted Toby.

Skyla: hey sorry I didn't make it. Something came up.

Toby: no worries. If you're not here by 7 tomorrow night though we're coming over.

Skyla: lol okay.

I hovered over Rowan's contact. Not really knowing if I should or shouldn't. I wanted to so badly. I was scared. He wasn't near me and I could feel the worry in my heart at his reaction.

I sighed and when Logan spoke I jumped.

"Gonna text him?"

I jumped and looked at him. He was staring at me and waiting for my response. I licked my lips and looked back down at my phone.

"No." I mumbled.

Logan got up. Filling the cup with water and putting it on the tray for me. He looked down at my phone then to me and sat down in the chair next to my bed.

"What are you looking at his contact for then?"

I looked at him. I want to block him, but he will be mad. I don't wanna make him mad. He's scary when he's mad.

"To block him. Maybe. He will get mad though. It wasn't supposed to happen. He was right when he told Finley that. It wasn't supposed to go as far as it did but it did. He tried to ignore his feelings. He tried to fight it. Fuck Logan he tried so fucking hard and he just couldn't. Instead we hurt Fin."

I wiped my tears away gently as soon as they fell from my eyes. I didn't even realize I started crying until I felt my face get wet.

"I never wanted to hurt him. I tried to fight him until I just gave in. so I didn't make him mad. Yet look at me now. I ruined my brothers longest friendship. I ruined Rowan's reputation. I have a fucking broken ass face. None of this was supposed to happen."

Logan just looked at me. Letting me talk. He knew I needed to get it out I think. Knowing I would never actually admit any of this to Finley.

"I actually thought he was a good guy. I've known him my entire life. So I trusted him. He was there when I found out my ex cheated on me with my friend. And at the end of the day he hurt me worse. I mean are all guys like that?"

Logan moved my hair out of my face and dabbed my tears with a Kleenex. Trying not to hurt my face.

"No. Not all of us are like that." He admitted.
