One Week After the Breakup
Sophie
I'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
SophieThe days snuck up on us like a ghost in the night, and they were full of pain, tears, and many- MANY obstacles.I worked overtime to finish all my missed assignments and turned them in before Christmas break came during the nights. But the days were torture for us. We worried if mom would collapse again while dad had to be away in the vineyard, and us attending school.There were times when I’d run home and find her crouched down in pain, holding her left breast, which was where the lumps of cancer had been detected. I felt so stupid, not knowing what to do. I’d go in panic mode, and cry along with her. It’s as if cancer had waited for the news to get out to hit her harder.Dad hit me with the news that he had turned in my packet for the trip to Barcelona, but I refuse to go. How could I go under these circumstances? He had to be out of his mind! I refuse, and I repeat, I refuse to go on that trip this year.I want to stay
Sophie Mom and I woke up super early and sat to have a conversation. To say that it was a pleasant conversation would be a lie. It was the complete opposite. "Sit down, sweetheart. I need to talk to you about what is going to happen next. And I need you to be brave for me. I need you, Sophie, I need you here with me." Mom was making me really nervous. I sat next to her, allowing her to take my hands in hers. "Mom. what is going on? Why don't you have breakfast first? we can talk about this right after." She nods in disagreement with her eyes closed. She takes a long sigh, looking away from me towards the ground. "Sophie, as soon as we go into the hospital, the doctor will
LoganWe finally arrived at the airport in New York. Everything has happened so suddenly. My nerves are still on edge. All I want to do is run to her and hug her tight, and never, EVER, let her go.We first picked up Mr.P, Jason, and Aaron's luggage. I had no time to grab anything for myself other than what I was wearing. After, we grabbed a taxi to the hotel where Mrs.P and Sophie were staying.We almost had the same inconvenience, but the reception lady realized there was a cancelation on a large party that had four bedrooms. We grabbed two rooms before they could be taken from someone else.After we left the luggage in the rooms, we grabbed a different cab and went on our way to the hospital. I glanced at my watch and sighed in irritation. It was now close to ten in the morning. My phone had run out of battery, but I was able to call mon on my way to the airport last night and told her what was happenin
Sophie"Logan, wait." I caught my breath as I broke our kiss. His lips were swollen, and I could feel mines the same way."Sophie, I missed you. I missed you so much. Please, give me another chance. I was, I was an idiot. I should have believed you. I know now that you didn't cheat on me. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry babe."I closed my eyes and pondered on his words. I folded my hands over my chest, turning my body away from him."Sophie, say something. Please? Tell me you're willing to give me a second chance. Please? I-I know I was a moron, I should have never doubted you. I know you kept Troy and Dylan's secret to protect them, I know that now. Soph." His hands softly embraced me around my waist. His hard chest leaned against my back."So, you only believed me, because you found out the truth about Troy and Dylan? What about when I asked you to believe me? What about every time I told you I didn't cheat on you? What about each
