Chapter 42

"Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you" - Keep holding on - Avril Lavigne

From: Logan

Just landed. Already miss u. I'll call you tonight.

I re read the text message Logan sent me for the hundredth time. I felt relieved that he landed safely but then I felt that dread and sadness that he really was gone and wouldn't be walking through my door any minute.

It's only been a few hours and I already miss Logan way more than I thought I would. Sure, we have been away from each other for a week before but this time it was different, it will be more than a week before we see each other.

Trying to keep myself busy is how I've been trying to cope with this whole thing. Cleaning my room, cleaning the house, reading, anything I can do to keep my mind off the fact that Logan no longer lives next door to me and I can't just go and see him when I want.

This sucks.

Later that night, I settle in bed underneath the warm and safe feeling of my covers. Today has been a long day and I want nothing more than to just go to sleep.

The shrill ring of my phone wakes me from my sleep and I realized that I must have dozed off for a few minutes.

Logan's name comes up on the caller ID on my phone and I happily click answer because the sound of his voice is what I need right now.

"Hey," I said sleepily as I sat up in bed and rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" His deep rich voice rings through the phone and I instantly am soothed by the sound.

"I must have dozed off but it's okay, how was the flight?" The time difference from where I am in Florida and where he is in California is three hours. With it being 11:00 p.m here, it's only 8:00 p.m there. The time difference is defiantly going to be an issue.

He sighs, "Long, but it wasn't as bad as I thought."

I yawn, "Well that's good, at least there wasn't a crying baby next to you."

He chuckles, "You are so right princess. I don't think I could have handled it,"

I smile for the first time since saying goodbye to him today, "I can totally see you right now sitting there with a screaming crying baby next to you and you ready to strangle the poor thing."

"That was a defiantly a blessing for that not happening."

I shook my head, Gosh I miss him.

We were silent for a moment and then he spoke up, "What are you thinking about?" He asked softly.

"Just how much I miss you." I said matter of factly.

"I miss you too princess," he said. "So damn much!"

I yawned again and looked at the clock which read 11:45. I was exhausted and in desperate need of sleep but I didn't want to stop talking to Logan.

"You should go to sleep Zoe, I know you're tired and it's late there. I'm tired myself."

"But I don't to stop talking to you." I argue.
