8 - TAKING IN *WHY ARE YOU WET?*

June 10, 2018

STAR'S POV

"What the fuck are you doing?" I hear as Logan turns slightly on the bed, her eyes still shut and I assume she just felt the presence of someone knelt by her bed, staring at her face.

"Nothing creepy" I answer, not moving from my position by her bed

"Say it one more time, it might sound believable then" she says, opening her eyes and meeting mine

"I was just checking on you is all. I have to go for a job interview today so I wanted to check on you before I left" I say and she says nothing, simply sitting up on the bed with a groan leaving her lips

"I imagine you have one hell of a headache right now, do you have any Aspirin?" I ask and she points wordlessly to her bathroom and I nod before getting up and going in there, heading straight for the small cabinet.

I grab the medicine and return to her bed, handing it to her before pouring her a glass of water from the jug that sat on the nightstand which I also hand to her.

"Thanks" she says before swallowing the pill with some water.

"It's no problem at all" I smile "Is your hand hurting a lot? " I ask after a few minutes of silence and she looks at her palm and her expression is as though she just noticed there's a bandage wrapped around her hand

"Did I cut myself?" She asks, inspecting her hand before bringing her eyes to mine

"Yeah, yesterday when you got back. I cleaned it up for you" I say

"Thanks" she says and even though she had not answered my initial question, I leave it there.

"I have to go soon, will you be fine by yourself?" I ask and she nods

"Yeah, you've done enough. I'll take care of it from here" she says and it's my turn to nod

"Alright. Get better soon" I say before picking up my handbag and binder bag where I stored all my designs.

I had decided to get ready to leave before coming over.

"I'll be on my way" I say before heading to the door and opening it.

"Hey" she calls and I turn to her "Good luck, I hope you get it" she says, a small smile on her lips and I can't help it when my lips stretch into a smile as well

"Thank you" I say and she nods

With that, I leave the room, shutting the door behind me before making my way out the house.

I take a breath, struggling to pull myself together into one piece.

There's no need to look more pathetic than I already do and feel.

Taking one more breath, I open the door and walk into the house before shutting the door and immediately taking off my wet shoes.

I honestly just want to get into the bathroom and take a hot shower and then sleep. Maybe then I'd forget how terrible my entire day has been.

"Why are you wet?" I hear and see Logan walk out of the kitchen, a bowl of cereal in her hand as she settled on the couch

"Got water splashed on me. Didn't get the job either" I say

"Hm" she hums only before turning to the TV, picking up the remote and turning it on.

Hm, that's all I get.

Was I really hoping to get some comfort and words of encouragement from her of all people?

She doesn't care and she's shown that plenty times but still, I was hoping it would be different today.

I really was hoping she'd be there a little.

It doesn't matter anyways, it's not like I've really ever had someone I could come back to and depend on but it really sets in how alone I am now with my dad's death

Sucking in a breath and blinking back tears, I make my way upstairs quickly, shutting the door behind me and dropping my wet things on the floor by the bed.

I strip out my clothes and get under the hot shower, managing to only hold myself for a bit before I break into tears.

Cause even though the water is so warm, I can't help but feel so cold and alone.

Pathetic.
