Emma's POV-
I was home alone, and watching 13 Reasons Why. I'd never heard of it before, and it seemed interesting. Evan left right before Logan, so I knew I was there by myself. I continued to watch the show, getting more into it by the second. Then the show took a dark turn. The girl was laying in a bathtub, cutting her wrists. I don't know why, it just triggered me I guess. I started bawling crying, and scrunched up into a ball on the soft, grey couch. Suddenly, without any warning, Lydia walks in. She runs over to me and asks what's wrong.
"T-the s-sh-show." Were the words I managed to get out. I had paused the tv on the part where she slit her wrist.
"Hey, hey calm down...it's going to be okay..." Lydia says wrapping her arms around me. I push her off, giving her the stare, saying 'don't do that again.'
"Don't touch me." I say, wiping the tears away.
"You need to let people interact with you. You can't just live in a bubble your whole life!" Lydia says.
"Yes I can. I don't see any problem with it. And you don't have the right to touch me." I say.
"Don't have that bitchy tone with me. Just because you're a teenager, doesn't mean you rule the world. So stop acting like you run the place, because you don't. I'll be telling Logan about this!" Lydia says, and picks up Kong.
"First off; You're the one being a bitch. You are invading my personal space, and my privacy. Second off; I know I don't run the place, but you don't either. Only Logan can tell me what to do and not what to do." I argue.
"Apparently, you could care less of what Logan says to you. Maybe you should think of others, rather than yourself!" Lydia yells. I lay down on the couch and think. "Maybe Logan was right...Adopting her was a bad idea." She mumbles. A lump enters my throat as she says that sentence. I try not to cry, so I don't look weak. Lydia huffs and looks at me. All of the color in her face disappears. "Oh my god did I say that out loud?!" Lydia asks. I nod my head. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to say that! Logan loves you you know th-"

"Stop lying to me...It's making it worse. Let's just go shopping, and come back." I say, avoiding the conversation. Lydia brings me out of the apartment and into her car. The whole car ride was in silence. We arrive at some place called "The Grove." We park inside a parking garage and walk in using escalators. We finally get to the right floor and go outside, into a huge plaza. There is a fountain right in front of us, and stores covering every side. We walk in, seeing a few food stands, and decide to get some coffee at a Starbucks. I order a Vanilla Bean Frappe and Lydia orders a normal iced coffee. We walk down a large street with people selling random stuff, like pop-sockets, IPhone cases, popcorn, and a lot of other things. I look a little to my left, and see a candy store! I jump up with glee.
"Can we go pleeeeeeeaaaaasssse??!!!" I beg.
"Sure." Lydia says, rolling her eyes, but I didn't care. We walk in and see hundreds of cases of candy. I browse around, looking at all the different sorts. Then, I see the chocolate. I LOVE chocolate! It's my favorite. I grab a chocolate bar and go up to Lydia, that's talking to a family, and the kid has on a Maverick t-shirt. She signs his phone case as he giggles and runs off with his other siblings.
"I found what I want." I say showing her the chocolate bar.
"Are you sure that's all? You could get something else." Lydia says.
"Well, I don't want to waste all your money." I say, looking at the ground. Lydia giggles.
"It's not wasting, if you're going to eat it." She says with a smile.
"It's okay. I'll just get this."I say, walking up to the cashier. Lydia comes up behind me and reaches in her purse, to take out her wallet. I look to my right and see ice cream. All sorts of flavors, colors, and there's even different cones! I drool a little, but quickly wipe it away. I haven't had ice cream in so long, I've forgotten what it tastes like. Lydia eyeballs me, seeing me stare down the huge vats of ice cream.
"You want one?" She asks.
"Can I?!" I ask excitedly.
"Go ahead." She smiles. "Pick whatever flavor you want." I decide to pick chocolate chip cookie dough, because that's the most common. I get a waffle cone, and Lydia pays the cashier the money for the chocolate, and ice cream.
"Thanks so much! And by the way, you didn't HAVE to do that." I say, putting emphasis on 'have.'
"Well I didn't have to, but Logan said to spoil you, so I kinda actually did have to." Lydia says. I have a feeling she doesn't like me...Feelings are mutual. I give her the evil eye as we walk out of the candy store. We walk a few meters to the left of the shop, and see a Nike store. Lydia walks me in, and tells me to look around, while she does the same. We walk in, the store is huge. There is a rack of Nike shoes right when you enter. We split off, me going towards clothes, and her going towards shoes. I look around, and see a really cute pink Nike Pro sports bra. I grab it and look around some more. I find some black Nike tempo shorts. I walk back to where I last saw Lydia and she isn't there. I take a look all over the store, and she's no where to be seen. I've never been in a situation like this, let alone being completely on my own in a pubic place. I start hyperventilating, trying to remain calm isn't working. I know I said I wasn't a people person, but I'm still not independent. I couldn't survive on my own, without anyone guiding me. I mean, all children can't live without a guardian.
"Are you okay miss?" A lady asks, about in her late 40's, touching my shoulder from behind. I quickly turn around, forcing her hand off of me.
"I-I can't find my friend." I say.
"Oh, well where was she when she was last seen?" The lady asked. I point to where the shoes were and where she walked over to. I'm so scared, and I don't know what to do. I can't call her, or have anyway of communication with her.
"Okay honey, well I'm going to check the security cameras, and see what I can do, now what did she look like?" I describe Lydias features, like her long straight, brown hair and her big, brown eyes. The woman quickly walks over to her computer and types in something.
"LYDIA?" I call out, but no body answers. The lady gives me a weird look, but then focuses back on the computer. I call her name a few more times, and still no answer.
"Is this her?" The woman asks. I run over to her and see Lydia on the computer screen. I nod my head, as I watch the footage from about 10 minutes ago. I see Lydia picking up some shoes, then put them back down. She gets her phone out of her back pocket and I assume answer it. She puts it up to her ear, and walks out the front door.
"She's right outside." The lady says, a little annoyed that I wasted her time. I put the items on the counter and walk out to see Lydia at a small, round table, still on the phone. She hands me her wallet and I walk back inside. I grab a twenty out and give it to the lady. She hands me a bag with the items in it, and the change left over. I walk out and see Lydia end the phone call. I give her her wallet back as we walk into another store.
"What was that about?" I ask.
"Oh just business stuff." She says.
"What type of 'business stuff'" I smirk.
"Nothing you will understand, now let's pick out some clothes and underwear." Lydia says. I walk around and find a really cute outfit.

I decide to get it and we pay out. We go into a store called 'Pink' and I get some underwear and bras. We decide to go into a few more stores, and I get a lot of new outfits. A couple hours later, we walked out with about 7 bags in our hands. We get into the car and drive back to Logans place. Well, technically my house now, but I'm not really that comfortable yet.
At Logan's house-
I put all of my clothes in the living room, since that's where I'll be sleeping from now on.
I knock on Logan's door and try to turn the knob, but it's locked. I hear Maverick chirp which is surprisingly loud.
"Give me a minute!" Logan says.
"Ok." I say and walk away. I go into the living room, not really knowing what to do. I sit there bored out of my mind, when I hear a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." I say, and open the door.
"There she is!" A man said and ran and hugged me really tight. I didn't know who it was, so I screamed trying to get Logan's attention. Logan ran into the living room as the man let go of me.
"What the hell happened?" Logan asked.
"I-I'm so sorry I didn't know you didn't like people touching you..." the man said.
"I-it's okay...but uhh...who are you?" I ask.
"I'm-" he gets cut of my Logan.
"JEFF!!!!" He yells.
"Yep...my name is Jeff." Jeff laughs. Logan chuckles with him. We sit down on the couch and I tell him about myself...not much to tell really, but I just say I really like chocolate and I'm 15 years old. He just smiles and says,
"Well Emma, it was nice to meet you, but I've got to get to a meeting." Jeff says as he gets up.
"Jeff wait! Can I get a clip of us?" Logan asked, grabbing his vlog camera.
"Sure, why the hell not?" Jeff asks. They do a weird thing, and then Logan intros Jeff into the vlog. About 15 minutes later, Jeff left and it was just me and Logan at the house alone, since Evan left to go visit family, and Lydia went to a meeting as well.
"So, I wanna show you something!" Logan says and runs into his room. He comes out with a thin, flat, rectangular, wrapped present, and a thick, rectangular wrapped box. I look at him confused.
"Open them!" Logan says handing them to me. They are kind of heavy. I open the flat one first, and see he got me a laptop. I get really excited, and open the next one. I take the wrapping off, and it was an IPhone 7+! I start freaking out and hug Logan. I realize what I'm doing, and quickly back away. I could tell he was in shock too.
