Sophie
The days went by slow from thereon.
Logan and I were close and I felt I was in love with him more each day, but I felt as if everyone around me were hiding things from me.
Mom and dad were going on business trips more often, and it worried me. Mom didn't look so good. She looked stressed out, tired, worn out. She had lost a lot of weight and tried to hide it, changing the subject each time I asked her if she was ok.
We were getting close to Christmas time and that meant two things. One- Our winter formal dance was coming up. Two- Christmas break was coming.
My family usually goes off to a cabin we rent out in the mountains. I'm not sure that's the case this year. My parents have been so busy.
Logan was busier than before since they had won qualifications for county champions. I was so proud of him. The thing that bothered me was that Carter was still messing with him and me.
We oversaw his be
**Bonus Chapter** AUTHOR'S NOTE: Please note that this bonus chapter is pretty much a summary of what the sequel will be about. It will seem there are lots of gaps in between and so many unanswered questions, but you will be able to read the in-between soon as I begin posting the sequel.

Troy insisted. "You can ask Lexie. She's your best friend too." "Ugg, you're so hopeless. Childish and selfish Sophie. How can you say that? Besides, Lexie is already a bridesmaid or groom maid. . . whatever you want to call it. Please, Sophie!" I grunted and closed my eyes in surrender over the phone. "Oh, you are such a drama queen. Fine, I will be your maid of honor." He screamed with joy over the phone, deafening my ear.
SophieIt's been almost seven years since I left Lakeview. I never thought I'd go back. But terrible news pulled me back to that old town.A few months after Logan had found me in Los Angeles, four years ago, I received a phone call from dad. Mom had gotten sick again. But this time, they didn't catch it in time. She hid it from everyone, including dad. No one, not even I was ready for what was to come.Mom died just a year after I went to see her. She was so happy to finally spend more than a few days' worth of time with Nathan. All we did was talk about him when we are on the phone. She simply adores him. But it was so hard to see her in pain. Cancer had come back to her bones that time, I could still hear her crying from the pain, saying her body felt as if it was on fire. I don't understand how life could be so cruel.She was my best friend, my biggest support, and my shoulder to cry on. She finally passed away a few days before mother's d
Three Years Later:SophieI walked towards the cafe I work for a few hours after class. I was too tired to work today. It's getting harder every day to even get out of bed.I have no energy. My days are crazy. I can't sleep at night, yet I want nothing to do but sleep during the day. My budget scares me. I don't even know how I am doing this? Dad keeps sending me money, though I refuse to touch it unless I have no other option.I dropped most of my classes for now. I can't focus- it's as if my mind gets clouded. I feel like a damn airhead. I had to go see a doctor, and she gave me so many vitamins because she says I am underweight and need to nourish my body. The vitamins taste so gross. I especially hate the iron pills.But if I don't take them, I will never get rid of my anemia. It will be bad for me if that happens."Hey, darling. You look so gorgeous today. Look at you glowing like the diva you are!" Mrs. Cl
Sophie"I can't believe we are finally graduating tomorrow. This seems so surreal." Lexie whispered to my left as we sat in the auditorium while listening to instruction for tomorrow's ceremony. Logan sat to my right, holding my hand with our fingers interlaced. I could tell he was nervous. Our valedictorians this year are Russell Knight and Emily Mitchell. They tied perfectly for the grand title.Graduation came by too fast if you ask me. Before we knew it, we were hit with finals and SAT's, final projects, and more.We ran around getting caps, gowns, graduation outfits. Logan and the rest of the gang, as well as me, volunteered for the prom decoration group, it turned out beautifully. I won't go insomuch detail, just know Logan was amazing. We had matching colors on my dress and his tie. After, we went to the cabin and spent all weekend there. He wanted us to go to the house he's building by the lake, but there were major setbacks, and we didn't want to be in
SophieI woke up hopeful today. I knew Logan would be off to be with his mom at the courthouse. This is the time when I woke up begging God for a miracle. I wanted things to work out for them. I miss Ashley so much, and I know she must be missing her mom and Logan. They deserve to be together. I just hope that Mr. Spencer can see that in time.He picked me up from home and gave me a ride to school before leaving. I gave him a quick kiss and got off the car. I waved at him as he sped off to Mr. Mitchell's office. He had called him this morning to tell him he had big news for him. I hoped it was good news, Logan could really use a turn to all of the bad things that have been happening lately.I decided to send him a quick message before entering my second class and told him that everything was going to be ok.Sophie- Hi Baby. Good morning. I just wanted you to know I love you. Things are going to be ok, you'll see. I'll see you after school, ok?
Logan "I know mom, I was going to go back to school. That was my plan. But, then uncle Danny stopped me at the lobby. He told me to wait for him so I could take Ashley with me to get some ice cream. Which is why she is now covered in chocolate. You know she can't eat chocolate ice cream without getting it all over herself!" Ashley socked me on my arm as I made fun of her. She had a huge chocolate ice cream stain on the top of her dress. I tried to avoid the menacing look on mom's face as she stood before me with her arms crossed next to uncle Danny and Derreck. Ashley and I were in the middle of our second scoop when mom walked in looking for us. She looks over towards uncle Danny, I don't her arms, and places one hand over her hip. "Uh, in my defense, it was better for Logan to keep her company than for her to be out in the lobby all alone. Wouldn't you agree?... Derreck?" He looks at mom first and then towards Derreck for reinforce
