SAVING HER

Chapter 6

Hey Guys! I have a surprise for you today so read all the way to the bottom! It's pretty awesome. I'm excited! I also reposted the trailer this week in case you haven't seen it. :)

This scene is super special to me. I love seeing Sam with her mom. For some reason this scene made me emotional. Maybe it's because I know all that's coming. Ugh guys. You have no idea. Enjoy this sweetness for now...

The next day was awful. Just as I predicted, I was in the paper. There was a picture of Logan and me outside the restaurant talking. It was before the whole thing with Timothy had gone down. Then there was another picture of us running out. All sorts of headlines went along with the pictures, and I read none of them. I knew my mom knew about the headlines and for the first time, I let her help me. I went home from work that day and cried in her lap for hours, eventually falling asleep there. Two days later was the worst. All sorts of press and fans were outside the restaurant halfway through my shift, and I had no idea what to do. I went up to Matt who was looking out the window in disgust.

"Matt, I'm so sorry. Please don't fire me. I need this job. I'll deal with it. I'll..."

Matt cut me off by walking through the restaurant's glass front door to the reporters. I looked at Shauna, and she shot me a sympathetic look in response. I then heard Matt's loud country voice boom through the front doors.

"Listen, people; I need you to leave my restaurant and most importantly my employee alone! This girl you are all but stalking is the most hardworking, independent young woman I have employed here, and she is just trying to get by. She's not some rich celebrity. Please stay away from her, or I will be forced to take more drastic measures. Now go!"

Most everyone scattered, and Matt walked in brushing past us. I ignored it when he shoulder checked me. Here I thought I was just another employee. I was unseen in a haze of café t-shirts. Did he recognize my hard work? He knew how much energy I put into this job. I shook my head. This was all starting to feel unreal. I felt so alone my whole life. Now it seemed people were helping me everywhere I went.

"Matt," I called before he entered his office. I gave him a nod, "Thank you."

He nodded back, but the nod said it all. Matt didn't like me; he respected me. Five days had gone by, and I was still a wreck. In the short time, I'd spent with Logan somehow; I'd gotten used to having someone around. Now I was facing, what seemed like a world full of people combined with the pressures of my mom's increasingly dangerous illness all alone. I decided to seek comfort from the only person I knew could maybe relate.

Four days later, my first day off, I found myself on a bus to Dana's place. I had texted her the day before to see if it was okay. I was nervous but pretty sure of my decision to seek her out. I decided to finally read the news on my phone during the bus ride. The minute I flipped my phone open my stomach flipped when I saw the headline:

LOGAN PRESCOTT DROPS RECORD DEAL WITH ROGAN SALLUS AFTER APPARENT FEUD:

Sources say Logan was spotted fighting with Rogan three days ago in LA.

The fight ended with Logan dropping his contract with the famous producer. Nothing to fear, Logan still has multiple movie deals, a newly completed TV show that should be airing soon and I'm assuming lots of producers eager to work with him!

There was more to the article, but that's all I could read before dropping my cell phone. He ended his contract with Rogan? It must be because of what I told him. Didn't he hate me? Is this why he hasn't spoken to me? Because he's in LA?
