Chapter 28

His question took me by surprise. "Good."

"Your medication?"

"Everything's fine," I answered, confused. Anyone would say that you cared about me.

Logan looked down and then turned his face toward me, looking me straight in the eyes. "Maybe I do."

I stopped breathing, not knowing what to say. He continued, “Have you gotten better at expressing what you feel?”

"I think so."

"Okay." He ran his hand through his hair, his eyes moving away from me and back to the window. "Ignoring the pain, pretending it's not there will only hurt you more."

The mention of that word made my chest tighten. It was in that moment of silence that I realized how big and raw the pain inside me was.

"And I know it's easier to hide it," Logan paused, "but sooner or later, it will get to you and devastate you."

"You don't know what you're talking about." I clenched my fists in a futile attempt to keep tears from forming in my eyes. Logan started walking in my direction and then stopped next to me.
