Fragile(NOT COMPLETED, UNDER REVISION, PLZ DONT READ RN)

Chapter 29

I had skipped school today since no one was home and invited Finn over. We spent half the day in Home Depot trying the get the stuff for a new screen door but look at how that turned out.

It takes a few seconds and I start to think the call might just ring out but at the last moment I hear shuffling on the other end.

"Hello?" Her voice was barely a whisper. She sounded confused and tired.

"Hey, did I wake you?" I ask quietly. I hunch over in my seat, a tiny piece of guilt surging through my body from hearing her sleepy tone.

"Oh- Uh. No, I was just resting my eyes."

I can feel the small smile starting to play on my lips at her words.

"So you were sleeping? Resting your eyes is the same thing Gracie."

"Why are you calling me Logan? It's," I hear a pause on the other end, "Eleven in the night."

I take another drag as well as a second to gather my thoughts. Why was I calling her? I had basically just ranted about how she doesn't like me and now I was calling her? And how the fuck had it gotten so late?

"..Hello?" Grace's voice mumbles through the receiver.

"Uh yeah?"

"W-Why are you-"

"I just- I just needed to hear your voice." I blurt out. I immediately regret what I said. God, Now I sounded like a fucking creep.

"Ignore what I just said, it came out wrong." I say a few seconds after trying to save myself.

"So what did you mean?" Her voice asks me shakily.

"No one else is home, everyone's out doing something and I just wasn't feeling up for it... I just need someone to talk to." I mumble as lowly as I can hoping she doesn't hear a couple words.

"You mean out of your entire arsenal of friends you decided to call me?" She sounds a bit offended but I try to not let it get to me.

"No I didn't mean it like that." Somehow it felt like I was just making this worse for myself. There's a bit more shuffling in the background and I use it to make sure I don't say something dumb.

"So what did you mean?"

"I meant that everyone is busy, besides hanging out with Alyssa you don't seem to go out that much. I just figured that-"

"That I would have nothing to do?" She finishes my sentence for me.

I sigh and rest my phone against my lap for a second breathing in the smoke. When I hold it back up against my ear I can hear her shallow breathing in the background. Fuck it, she was doing this on purpose.

"Gracie be honest with me. Do you ever do anything on Friday nights?"

"N-No. But-"

"So then if I'm right why do you seem annoyed?"

"Because Logan," She takes a deep breath almost as if she was contemplating what to say next, "You're only calling me for your own convenience."

I roll my eyes and stand up from where I was sitting. After I stamp the cigarette out I walk back into the house making it up the stairs to my room.

"That's not true." I mutter into the phone.

"Logan- You're calling me because you have no one else to talk to." She snaps and when I hear shuffling again I can only imagine her tossing around in her bed.

"No Gracie I'm calling you because I actually want to talk to you. Not because of whatever bullshit reason you're coming up with inside of your head." I admit I sounded a bit harsh but I only want her to understand she's not some kind of toy to me. I wasn't using her for my own convenience. Why the fuck would she even think that?

I press the speaker option on my phone so that I could hear her response while I kicked off my clothes.

"W-Well.." Her voice wavers.

Once my jeans are off along with my shirt I grab my phone leaving the speaker option on and lie down on my bed.

"Well what?" I ask curious to know what she's thinking.

"Well s-sorry but I'm tired so... bye." She answers hastily and the next thing I know the line cuts off the only thing I can hear is the dial tone.

I wasn't mad that she hung up, in fact I could feel a smirk coming onto my lips. She sounded so flustered by what I said I let out a low chuckle just thinking about it. Her voice echoed in my mind and I closed my eyes sighing in content. 

It takes me a second before I realize it was happening again. I was pushing myself onto her and she didn't like it. I made her uncomfortable. No matter how hard I tried to make her more comfortable around me I ended up doing the complete opposite.

That doesn't change the fact that I'm attracted to her, her body and her smart mouth. She was more than just that but I was getting no where with her. Fuck, It was like an episode of Lacey except I was Lacey and Grace was me. Although I want her she doesn't want me, maybe it was time for me to get that through my thick skull.

Spring break is finally here. I hope you guys liked this chapter in Logan's pov. I received a lot of feed back from Chapter 23 so I decided to make this chapter in his as well :) I actually finished this chapter a while ago but I could feel something was missing and I didn't want to update because I couldn't figure out what it was but, I finally did. Thanks for reading! And thanks for making this book reach #14 in Romance that's Crazyyyyyy.
