In no time we made it and my heart sunk Kade got out and held my bags setting them in the sidewalk in front of us.
"Im going to be late if I don't hurry" I said
"Good" Kade scoffed the anger evidently back
"Hey look at me" I said stepping in front of him and straightened his tie
"Don't give Jake a hard time he's clearly going through some shit besides I can see my parents it's like a vacation for me" I tried to make light of the situation I placed my hands on his shoulders and he grabbed my waist and pulled me into a hug something I really needed I hugged back tighter and started to cry
"I love you so much" he said in a very husky voice
"I love you too" I said through sobs and never wanted to let go of him
"Ma'am can I help you with your bags?" Someone tapped me on my shoulder and I pulled out of the hug
"Uh yeah thank you" I replied and he started into the building
"Goodbye" I said as I walked away into the airport wiping away my tears.

I got through security and everything and boarded my flight and if you know one thing about me it's that I hate flying like I've mentioned several times. I got stuck with a window seat and I know that seems like everyone's dream it was my nightmare and all I wanted was to be asleep on Kades shoulder but I was too full of life that there's no way id be able to sleep. The flight killed me and I wasn't able to cry since I was in a public setting with nobody around me so I sucked it up and had several panic attacks thinking I was going to die whenever a slight bit of turbulence came. We landed smoothly and it was almost 11 at night i wasn't even aware of the arrangements of me even making it home but seen my mom holding a sign with my name on it. I ran up to her and hugged her tightly
"Hi baby" she said playing with my hair
"Lets just go home" I said
"Oh honey you know Jakey is just upset he'll get his head right again you'll be back there in no time but for now let's get you to bed." She said and we walked out to her car and drove home where I immediately fell into my childhood bed and fell asleep.

"Lizzy?" My mom did the annoying thing where she knocks and walks in without me even saying anything so there was no point in even knocking I rolled over and realized the bright sunshine
"Hmm" I groaned
"I made some breakfast if you want to come down your dad will be here in about an hour." She said quietly and walked out of my room. I picked up my phone and had no new texts not from Jake not from Kade nobody.  Has anyone even noticed I was gone? I thought to myself as I crawled out of bed and made my way downstairs to eat. Not gonna lie it was nice to be back home and routine set in quite quickly.

It's been a few days now and nobody has made an effort to contact me so I didn't bother either it was thanksgiving day and I spent it with my family minus Jake who never came home and spent it in LA instead I waited in the living room for the door to open so I could see Logan and when it did I ran up and squeezed him tightly
"Hey we need to talk" he smiled hugging me back
"So talk" I said
"Okay let me put my bags away first" he said and set his things in his room
"What up?" I asked as he sat down beside me
"Jake feels bad and wants you to come back" he said and I scoffed in response
"Really you do know he kicked me out for a petty reason that was beyond my control. Logan there was a gun to my head" I said shaking my head and saying the last bit slowly
"He knows that he just got denied a sponsorship from a false rumor and he was feeling really bad about it and I guess that sent him over edge" he reasoned
"Why couldn't he tell me this himself?" I asked
"Because Jake is an idiot who decided that by cutting all communication to you was best" he explained
"That's why nobody's been talking to me" I sighed and shook my head
"Im not going back" I said smiling
"Why? Everyone misses you" he said
"So what" I said angrily
"Don't shoot the messenger. Were all too alike petty in our own ways but we gotta stick together. Clearly Jake is an idiot and he has no interest in looking for someone else to take your room. Elizabeth you need to understand everyone makes mistakes and this was one of Jakes even Erika couldnt get through to him in the beggining and thats a hard thing to do" Logan laughed
"It hurt Logan like really bad" I said my eyes tearing up
"Don't cry it'll be okay" he said hugging me. Logan never was one to show much sympathy or any love for that matter if you said I love you he would hum mhm back and hugging him was asking to be punched same goes for Jake but through the years their thick walls they built started to break and I have a feeling it's because my dad isn't around all the time. He wanted them to be the best show no emotion and just be older than they really were and that definitely took a toll on them but he never was like that to me.
"I can't go back Logan and you know it" I said getting up and walking to my room.  The rest of the day went by nicely we had a big supper and watched a movie as a family before calling it a night. Logan left the following morning and i was switching houses again from my mom's to my dad's every week feeling like a teenager again who was angry at life. I sat around did literally as little as possible and sometimes it was nice but the deafening silence left a large void empty waiting to be filled.
