own demons, my own past Chloe, I knew what they would do to you if you knew, but I felt connected to you from the beginning, but I knew if we slept together you would be just another woman to me. I wanted to get to know you better, and I wasn’t about to throw it all away for one night of rolling around in my bed. And I was right about you, we got to know each other and I fell in love with you. That’s what this is to me, I’ve fallen in love with you, and if you would just give me a chance I could prove it to you.”

My heart stopped at his words. He was in love with me? What did that mean for me, for us? I knew I felt something strong for him, but was it love? Was it worth losing Logan for the bad boy in the band? I knew better than to even ask myself that question. Drake had become far more to me than the dangerous, tattooed, and pierced bad boy I had seen in him before. He was someone special to me, and lord help me, I knew I was falling in love with him too.

So where did that leave Logan and our relationship? He had been my best friend most of my life and now so much more to me. Was it possible I could be in love with both of them at the same time, or were my feelings for Logan nothing more than friendship wrapped up in a relationship? Regardless of what I felt, I had to tell Logan what I had done, what a mess I had made of everything.

“I need to get out of here,” I stood and walked across the room to where he had managed to throw my shirt and bra, quickly putting both on and adjusting my skirt.

“Don’t leave Chloe, stay here and talk to me,” he pleaded as I made my way past him.

“I just need time Drake, I have to figure things out. Just give me time.”

He grabbed my wrist as I reached for the front door, “Take all the time you need, just know I’m here and I’m waiting for you. We can make this work, you just have to give me a chance, let me prove that I’m serious about you, about us,” he leaned down and brushed his lips gently over mine, “I love you Chloe.” He released my wrist and stepped back, letting me open the door. I bolted out and down the walk to my car as fast as my legs would carry me.

The next morning I felt like hell. I had drove home the night before and cowered in my bed, crying myself to sleep. As my alarm went off I slowly pulled myself of bed and grabbed my bathroom bag. Luckily, I was one of the first people up, so I had the entire bathroom to myself.

After I had showered and dressed for the day, I grabbed my books I would need for tomorrow and threw them into my bag. Logan sent me a text asking if I wanted to meet him for lunch since he was off today. I still hadn’t seen him since I’d returned and after last night, I debated on crawling back into my bed and never coming out. I quickly shook the thought away, I couldn’t spend the rest of my life hiding from him.

I had made a mistake and I needed to face it. I made my way up to his room a couple hours later and knocked. He opened the door almost instantly, a huge smile on his face.

“Chloe! I missed you!” He pulled me into the room, slamming the door behind me before throwing me on the bed and kissing me senseless.

He finally came up for air and I gasped, trying to catch my breath, “Wow, what a welcome! I missed you too.”

I stared up at him and my stomach started to hurt. How could I be such a slut when I had someone who cared about me as much as Logan did? I should tell him everything right now, clear the air and get it all out, but as I looked at him so happy to see me, I couldn’t do it.

I forced a smile on my face as I sat up on the side of the bed, “So where are we going for lunch?”

He bent down and kissed me gently on the
