Chapter one. part two - I’m leaving.

“I’m Logan Dawn Miller, seventeen years young I guess I can never be old” he joked and that when I had to slap him on the chest with the back of my hand. “I’m not joking now, Logan I’m straight, ugly, broke, and having a love strike with the most person I can never love that way” I started to speak as I took a seat far away from him.

“You’re silly, I think you’re perfect, I mean come on Antonio even perfect is not enough for you” he said wiping the chocolate cake off his face, with the back of the knife, I glanced at the idiot seeing him doing this and it freaked me out. I rushed to him and slapped his hand, taking the knife away. I have noticed little euphonic look fill his eyes, getting towel from the kitchen; I started to wipe the cake off his face.

“Go wash your face” I told him quietly, he took the towel from me placing a soft kiss to my cheek and I just got shivers… I don’t understand, how can’t he notice that we’re incompatible? It’s weird that he always calls me impeccable, so either this guy is mental or crazy; pretty much the same though.

Hearing his footsteps closer, I had to snap out of my day dream; I looked up at him as he ruffled his hair.

“Your Xmas’s present, here” he said giving me a white envelope and I blinked twice at it.

“Tomorrow is Christmas, why are you giving me this now?” I hesitated before I took a hold on the envelope.

“This is an invitation to my house, I hope to see you tomorrow because I’ll give you your present there” he said making it sound like a command and I let out a chuckle which made him smile at me amused.

“Why give me the envelope if you’ll explain? Besides that, if something happens like kissing and so, I won’t accept it” I said warning him pointing my index finger at him and he gave me a smile while nodding.

“So do I take that as in you accepted it?” he asked “No matter what this thing is?” he asked sounding so doubtful.

“As long as it has nothing to do with us being in a relationship or you acting so lovely and so, why not, I accept it.” I said and automatically he wrapped his arms around me ecstatic filled the air, and for a change I smiled hugging him back.

Heather.

 

Heather got into her car as Antonio acted so dogmatic; she didn’t understand what kind of work that had this Logan guy there in his house as well. She looked out the window and her phone rang twice, making her look at it and picked it up.

“Hello?” She answered quietly as her driver ‘Speed’ started to drive the car.

“Heather, can I see you before the morning break?” Ian asked he’s her want-to-be-boyfriend; he is also the son of the most known business man. He has this tan skin, gorgeous green eye, golden mixed with brown hair, well seen 4 packs… well you can imagine.

First time they met was in a club… [Flash back] 

 

It was a random morning when Heather thought of going jogging; she started jogging toward the club since it happened to be ten minutes away from home.

When she reached the club, she was jogging while looking around for Antonio, she wasn’t really looking and as usual she bumped into a guy who happened to be talking on the phone.

The sudden bump caused him to fall into the pool, automatically he took off his glasses and a few people wanted to help him.

All Heather did was stare at him, covering her mouth in shock, she didn’t understand why so many people were trying to help him… he looked like a nonconformist anyway.

He swam to where she was standing and gave a hand out, she took it quick enough to pull him out, but what happened was the opposite; she was pulled into the pool.

He chuckled quietly at the situation while Heather frowned clutching her fist and knocking the crown of his head. She only did that because she felt humiliated, but he laughed pulling her in a semi hug and got out the pool, pulling her out after him.

[End of flash back]    

 

“Sure, where are you now?” she asks pulling some strings out of her face.

“In the same place we first met” he said sounding so ecstatic, a chuckle pass through his mouth as if he knew what I was about to say. “Wow, so now you remember?” she teases him ‘cause in the past weeks he kept telling her he does not remember.

“Okay, um I’ll see you in a bit?” she said ready to hang up the cell phone

“Oh yes, don’t take forever, love” he said and she smile as she heard some of his friends tease him calling him “Romeo”.

She shook her head smiling as she hung up the phone, then she dialed Antonio it took him few seconds to pick up the phone. “Um Antonio, hey umm  ... I’m seeing Ian in a little while, what do I do?” she asked and the line just. Went dead

Her phone rang and she picked it up “sorry, that was Logan trying to act funny” spoke Antonio sounding so perfectly fine. “Um, do you want anything?” he asked and she just stayed in silence then cleared her throat. “No, thank you Antonio... Have a good time” she says kindly before she hangs up and places her cell phone in her bag.

Forgetting about Antonio for a little while, she asked speed already to take her to the club that’s ten minutes away from her house.

As she was there an automatic smile appeared on her face, she noticed that all of a sudden Ian forgot about everything he was doing and just heeded to her as he was there he held her hand.

“People, this is my crush  ... Heather um don’t agitate her or you might die” he speaks and few giggles pass through his friend’s mouth.

She seemed to be a little shy and modest to talk or say anything so one of Ian’s friends called Emma walked over and held her hand standing Heather up. “My jaunty lady, I asked you to come here, so I can tell you all that I had been keeping deep, deep down inside” jokes Emma and we all just laughed on the childish act.

They were like four of his friends sitting by the table or so, but then Ian held her hand and took her on a side “Heather, I want to thank you for being there for me almost for the past two years, and all I want for Christmas is you” he said and she just smile placing on one hand over her mouth retiring. “Will you … be my girlfriend?” he asked and she dropped her hands off her mouth stuffing it into her jacket she looked at every single piece in his face, of course he looks nothing like Antonio now she is sure that she would not be looking up at Antonio or someone like him she nodded her head slowly having her lips turn into her usual watermelon wide smile; he wraps his arms around her lifting her a little from the ground.

 

“I love you” he whispers as he puts her down and she pecks his cheeks quickly then whispers as well “I love you… too” just these words made up an amazing night for the both of them, on the other hand Logan and Antonio were sitting there watching his childhood albums till they drifted off to sleep.

Logan.

 

Logan woke up the other morning. He opened his eyes and noticed that Antonio had his head rested on his lap; he pushed some of Antonio’s strings out of his face softly walking his knuckles swiftly on his cheeks.

Antonio feels Logan’s hand and opens his eyes; his eyes met Antonio’s and the brightest smile was plastered on his face.

“Rise and shine sleeping beauty” Logan speaks quietly and Antonio sits up rubbing his eyes.

“Did we sleep here yesterday?” Antonio asked looking up at Logan quickly and he nodded

Logan didn’t understand why Antonio was concerned about this, he wanted to ask but had these feelings Antonio would get upset or something.

“Do you  ... miss you mom?” Finally Logan opened his mouth to speak but all Antonio did was leave the room with no word.

Logan got up and walked to the bathroom, as he stepped in there he closed the door and locked it on himself, he kept staring at himself in the mirror then smiled.

He decided he would have a shower then what should he wear? He wrapped the towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom his hair is drip dropping; he called twice for Antonio before he knocks and walks into the room freely at the same time Antonio walks out of the bathroom but he had his usual all black outfit on.

“Why are you moving around naked? And why is your hair drip dropping everywhere? Why are you a mess? Antonio asks quickly trying to keep himself calm.

“Came to take clothes, anyway change what you’re wearing we’re going out for the day” he winks at Antonio which makes him chuckles turning away from him giving him the Never-in-you-widest-dreams look.

The whole day passed it was fun for both of them, it was almost at night when Antonio noticed a girl buying these plastic rings he asked Logan to wait and went brought three then pushed one in the small pocked on the right of his pants.

He smiled turning to Logan. “Here” he said and Logan placed his both hands over his mouth “OH-EM-GI” that’s how he sounded then gave his hand to Antonio to put him his ring on, and surprisingly Antonio did then put on the ring to himself.

“Don’t lose it, eh” Antonio warns him with the usual index finger of his.

“Promise” whispers Logan and gives Antonio a kitten smile face.

 

Logan took Antonio into his house; Antonio noticed that Logan’s house was way much bigger and more beautiful than his.

He smiles back at Logan, walking into the house hand in hand. This was Logan’s best day ever.

The lights were all off and yes like in random moments like these as they walk in there the lights turns on Logan’s older brother Levi throws these glitters in the air screaming “SURPRISE” Logan just covered his mouth then automatically wrapped his arms around his brother’s neck burying his face into his brother’s side neck, they both were always too close together, but then Levi had to go to private school; kind of was like a prison to both brothers.

Logan let go of his brother turning holding Antonio’s hand “Levi, of course you know my best friend Antonio” speaks Logan and Levi nod his head.

Antonio spaces out a little thinking about Heather, how is she doing? Is she having fun with someone, or just being upset at home cause of him.

He looked up from his shoes to notice Heather standing with a kind of taller guy, brown hair same skin color as Her’s a little tan but it’s not dark.

Logan looked at Antonio’s gaze and knew what he was thinking and how he was feeling. They kept staring knowing what’s going to happen next Antonio held onto Logan hand tight and spoke hardly feeling the weight of the world on his shoulder.

“I’m leaving” Logan gasped pulling Antonio in another room telling him he can’t leave just for them.

“Do you have feeling for her?” Logan had some kind of disappointed look and a little disgust, Antonio stayed quiet then sniffled taking his black blazer off.

“I saw the envelope you had, I know what’s your present” spoke Antonio and Logan froze in his place. “How did you…” Antonio cut him off.

“I agree   ... why don’t you tell her that I’m leaving?” he said then Logan nodded his head slowly, Antonio pecked his cheek and  then Logan watched as Antonio walked out of the door.

“Why did he leave?” Levi asks then Logan smiles. “He’ll be coming back, when no one is around, when everyone leaves”.
