Somebody To Lean On.

“That’s what I’m here for.” He said, his tone overflowing with sarcasm. Leaning back against the couch, Logan settled in for what he expected to be a long night of jumping around the elephant in the room. He still wasn’t sure why she was there, why she had come back, and honestly, he was at the point where he didn’t think she was ever going to tell him. It crossed his mind, if only briefly, that she was just here to make sure she could have him eating out of the palm of her hand, that he would still fall at her feet at the drop of a hat.

Logan was tired, not in the way that he just needed a good nights sleep, but tired of everything that was going on around him. He’d had a lot on his plate for so long, the boy deserved a damn holiday. His defences were still up when he looked to her, but as he watched her face fall into her hands, something in him softened. “Is everything okay?” He asked, the sarcasm from just a moment ago replaced by genuine concern. “Are you in trouble? Because we can figure it out if you are. We can figure something out.”

[noeden]

It all seemed a little too easy. It shouldn’t have been that easy. Eden huffed out on a sigh as she passed her hand across her face up towards the wig she was wearing. She removed it and the hat she was wearing, freeing her blonde locks finally. “Don’t do that..you make everything so much harder.” He shouldn’t have been nice to her. He should’ve stayed upset, sarcastic. Refused to help her. Instead, he seemed ready to jump when she asked. 

The blonde brushed her fingers through her hair, smoothing it out now that the wig was off. The guilt of her situation caused her to hesitate. Her gaze was settled on the couch cushion, on the subtle thread pattern. She passed a hand over it gently before speaking again. “I need..legal help Logan. I..Do you remember that thing about my step-dad?”

Don’t wanna hand you all my troubles Don’t wanna give you all my demons…

[ohmilcna-blog]

Time had ticked past so quickly but with the list of to-do’s an arm length long it was no wonder the brunette hadn’t found much time to breath or even take much of a second glance at the feeling she’d had all day. The feeling of being watched, being followed and really that feeling hadn’t sunk even if at work there was a strange car in the parking lot or the seemingly same car housing one shifty looking guy with a paper in the grocery store lot. Either way she’d kept normal done what she needed but as it came to closing in on the apartment the feeling seemed stronger and as her head turned to see a face seemed familiar all too familiar. Darting in the direction of the apartment building clutching the bags she shoved through the doors quickly, as they knocked another person on the other side. “I’m sorry, so sorry…” she exclaimed looking at her neighbour then behind seeing the other face nowhere in her radius as her breath was still hitched from the running. “You’re not hurt are you?” she questioned looking at the other trying to calm herself in their presence as quickly as possible.

Laying low had been the name of her game recently. The blonde wasn’t looking to stir up too much trouble though trouble often came knocking at her door. Now the door quite literally came to knock her over. The girl hadn’t exactly been paying attention, she was absorbed in the posts on her screen. Her mind elsewhere only returning to reality when she was sent backwards flat on her ass. Her jaw and fists clenched as she glared at the other female. The very lucky female. Eden considered Milena to be somewhat of a friend. She could stand her presence. However, if it had been anyone else, the blonde would’ve blown up right away. Her words were still barked at the other. “Watch the fuck out.”

[carclinefcrbes]

“They will be by now, yeah. But I have a feeling I’ll be hearing from him the second they get back.”

[noeden]

“You bet.  What other plans do you have then? What happened to that one guy?”

Logan could feel his heart beat a little faster in his chest every time Eden got even a little bit close to him. He hated that she had that kind of effect on him. He hated that he could recognize her despite her disguise and being up on the sixth floor. But, he had to get over that. She was there now, and for whatever reason, Logan was going to play nice. He tried his best not to give anything away, but the lack of sleep and how tired he really was was showing on his face. 

“Does it really matter?” Logan asked, shaking his head. He was too tired to argue with her, and he could hear the tone in her voice that meant she was ready to start the round. But, he wasn’t going to take the bait, not today. Once they were in the apartment, Logan sat down on the couch and ran a hand through his hair. “If you are trying to hide, you’re doing a shitty job of it. Everyone knows you here, if they see you, a wig isn’t going to fool them.” He said to her, shaking his head, his eyes on the floor. “You probably would’ve been better off wherever you disappeared to.” Logan continued, still not looking up at her. There was a moment of silence before he spoke again, and he finally looked up at her. “Why are you here, Eden?”

[noeden]

Her lips curved in a small tight smile at his comment. She exhaled on a breath that resembled soft a laugh. Turning, Eden settled herself on the couch correctly. “Thanks for the boost of confidence.” She replied, sarcasm lingering in her tone though her voice was quiet now. Her shoulders hunched forward some as she adjusted herself and crossed her legs. The tension was only growing now. The elephant in the room became more and more apparent the longer she tried to stall. 

A silence fell between them again and she thought about leaving. She could turn around and leave again. He was most likely better off without her and her issues. But was she without him? ‘You probably would’ve been better off wherever you disappeared to.’ She wasn’t, but he was. Now that she was here she might as well have been putting a big red x on his back. She feared that just speaking to him would’ve been enough, but what choice did she have? She tried not to look, but she couldn't help but notice his tired expression. She waited another beat, the room filled with silence again after his question. Her inner conflict on the situation had her mind spinning. Eden shook her head after a moment and the in next her face was in her hands. “It’s...It’s complicated.” The blonde sighed. “And...You’re right I probably shouldn’t be here..but—” She cut herself off before she could say anything else.

Perrie Edwards arriving at Leigh Anne’s Birthday Celebration - 08/10

Ezra scoffed as he kept his eyes on Eden. “Get over yourself. No one cares, no one missed you.” Ezra said as he shook his head slightly.  He shoved his hands in his pockets and curled his right hand around the small baggie that laid there. “Why did you even bother coming back for? I mean apart from your boy toy, I don’t think anyone would care.” Ezra said as he turned away from Eden and started to walk away.

[noeden]

Eden lifted her hand and held it over her heart as if what he was saying was actually hurting her in some way. Of course it wasn’t. The more he spoke, the more the blonde to laugh in his face. “Are you done lashing out because I’ve hurt your little feelings? It’s still very stupid cute. Just keep talking. Get it all out because I still don’t feel very offended at all. You could do better.” She nodded, her nose scrunching some to reflect the mockery in her tone. “It’s  none of your business why I’m here and I don’t know who you’re talking about. Oh how cute now you’re walking away. Just what I wanted. If you can’t take the heat honey.”

At this point, the less physical contact they had, the better. Logan was being really careful, playing his cards closer to his chest than he ever had with her before. Any trust he’d had in her was gone, and he wasn’t going to be tricked into giving it back so quickly. But, deep down, the hug was everything. He noticed everything about her. The way she smelled, and the way he could feel her breathing as she was pressed up against him. He had to try his hardest to ignore it and remember that he was still kind of annoyed with her. Annoyed or not, though, he had still missed her, even though he wasn’t sure if she had missed him. They’d fallen into a sort of routine before she left, one where they always seemed to come back to each other. And as time had progressed, they’d started coming back to each other for more than just sex. They’d just hang out, go out, do things. And that was where Logan’s problem seemed to lie.

Logan looked at the little dog, watching him move, thinking it was better to watch the animal than to just stare into space. This was awkward, it was the most awkward things had ever been between the two of them and they’d had some pretty awkward encounters recently. He didn’t look at her until she spoke, breaking the silence that was so thick that it could’ve been cut with a knife. “I don’t think I said it looks fake, I just know that’s not your hair.” He said with a shrug of his shoulders. Logan had very good attention to detail, he had to to be a lawyer. It made him good at what he did. “What’s with the wig anyway? People around here know your face well enough to know it’s you, wig or no wig.” When the elevator stopped at the top floor and the doors opened, Logan stepped out into the hallway and slowly started walking towards his apartment door, waiting for Eden to catch up before he opened the door and went inside.

There wasn’t much else she could think of to ease them into conversation, to break the silence and tension. The fact that he had pointed her out so easily had alarmed her at first as well. It stirred something familiar within her, a fight to pick. There was just something about his voice that served to both satisfy and irritate her at the same time. Especially now that he was before her. Now that she could take notice of the small changes in his expression and the shifts in his body language. It helped to actually put an image to each small inflection in his voice. 

“No, you didn’t. But if you spotted it so easily then it must mean something....I could have dyed it.” Eden responded back with a shrug of her shoulders. It was a tad argumentative, but at this point it was the familiarity of a small bicker that counted with her. Her arms crossed over her chest as the elevator doors opened. She didn’t answer him until after they were both inside his apartment with the door closed. “Maybe I just wanted a change...” The blonde sighed, reaching down to free Louis from his leash. Her lips were pressed together when she rose to stand straight again, her fingers played at the dark hair on the ends of the wig. “Maybe I’m actually trying to hide.” The statement was meant as a joke. It carried in her voice, yet the corners of her lips didn’t pick up half as much as she expected. Her gaze was cast down, watching her dog as he sniffed around. She leaned against the arm of the couch crossin one leg over the other, her hands still in the artificial hair when she finally returned her gaze to Logan.

She refused to bend to others’ expectations of her and could be honest to the point of cruelty. She could have inherited her parents’ billion-dollar empire, but she didn’t want the restrictions that life came with. She wanted the right to be her own person. She wanted to prove herself on the court.

Logan found himself growing more and more curious with each passing moment. So far he was keeping his composure. The fact that Eden was suddenly back wasn’t stirring up too much in him, and he was thankful for that. He’d try his damn hardest to not fall back to where he was with her, but he knew it was a long shot.

He was taken by surprise when she hugged him, and feeling her close to him again gave him chills. Logan willed them away as he hugged her back briefly. Whatever she wanted must’ve been big if she was hugging now. He pulled away and took a step back. “Hi,” he said simply, letting the door fall closed behind them as he made a move toward the elevator. The faster they got up to the apartment, the sooner he would find out what it was that she wanted from him.

Pushing the button that indicated that they were heading up, Logan waited as the doors opened for them. He wasn’t sure what to say to her. It wasn’t like he was going to tell her that her leaving without saying goodbye had been the closest thing to heartbreak that he’d felt in years. He wanted her to think that he didn’t even care, even though that was a flat out lie. Stepping inside the elevator, he looked at her. “Let’s head up then. No one else is home.”

[noeden]

The hug was brief. A lot less than she had expected. She only had a few brief moments to rest her head against his chest. She was at that height now that she wasn’t wearing heels. Physical contact like that, something as chaste and simple as hug was new for Eden. She rarely ever showed those forms of contact and in this case, she actually wanted to. She hadn’t hugged Logan because she wanted something from him; though as that was true, it wasn’t the point. She hugged him because deep down inside she had missed him. Though she probably wouldn’t admit to it, not even in the slightest. He lower lip slipped between her teeth as she listened to his short response. Her blue hues watched as he stepped away from her. 

Her chin fell with a short nod of her head before she followed after him. Louis wiggled in her arms to be set down. His tail wagging in excitement as he knew just where he was. Sunset Grove was almost just like another home for him. Eden carried him all the way to the elevator, only setting him down once the doors shut closed and trapped them in the silent box. Glancing over at Logan again, the blonde found it difficult to come up with words.They were stuck in one of those awkward situations and Eden rarely found herself in those. It was so odd feeling like she was trapped in someone else’s body. She hardly felt so vulnerable and insecure. Hardly was she ever asking for help unless the situation was dire. To her this was. It was her entire life and she was still unsure of every decision she was about to make. Of all the decisions she already has. “How did you know this was a wig?” She asked, finally attempting to break the silence as the elevator made it’s way up the floors. “It’s not cheap. It shouldn’t look fake.”

“I’m not going to be the one to call. He’ll call me. There’s no way he won’t.”

[noeden]

“Liv babe. Even if he does you should never be the one on call. Keep them waiting. Not the other way around.”
