Chapter Twenty Six

After Logan texted me during lesson earlier, I’d told my mum I was seeing him after school so didn’t need picking up. I don’t think she approved of the whole thing between me and him, but she was letting me make my own choices about boys. Given she’d gone against who she thought was her family to be with my dads, she couldn’t give me shit for choosing someone I knew my father would disapprove of.

“What are we doing now, babe?” Colleen asked me as we packed up after last lesson.

I closed my bag and looked away.

“We are doing nothing.”

“What do you mean?”

We hung out most Mondays either at mine or hers. It would come as a surprise to her I wasn’t up for anything.

“I’ve got plans, Col.”

“What? You didn’t tell me.”

I sighed and slung my bag over my shoulder. She still didn’t know about Logan, although she had mentioned I seemed different recently. It was true. I was different. He’d changed things for me.

“Well, I only made them today.”

When I looked at her, Colleen had her eyebrows raised and looked at me as if I’d grown two heads.

“With who?”

“Who said I have plans with another person?”

I didn’t enjoy lying to her, but for some reason, I wasn’t keen on telling her about Logan. Maybe because I knew it was doomed from the start. Logan and I were on borrowed time. The moment Dad found out, the fallout would be horrifying, but I had a little hope in my heart it might push Logan into sticking up for us. Stupid to hope for anything of the sort. I’d told him today about my fears and he hadn’t reassured me. Logan had given me no reason to hope. And yet hope I did.

How could I not?

I was falling in love with him. And he gave me the impression earlier he might feel the same way. That he might well be falling in love with me too.

It’s why I’d even said yes to seeing him. That, and he’d seen his dad. I knew how it affected him. It tugged at my heartstrings. I wanted to soothe him. Make him feel better.

You are so fucked.

“Come on, babe, don’t bullshit me.”

I started towards the classroom door, knowing I needed to get a move on to go meet Logan. What excuse could I use which she would believe? I was the worst friend, lying to her about everything.

“Dad’s taking me out… you know, a dad and daughter thing.”

What the fuck? She’s not going to believe that!

I glanced at Colleen. She would never ask my dad about it given she was a little scared of him. Well, to be honest, she told me all of my dads were DILFs, which I found gross. She got all shy around them because of it. It was ridiculous. She’d grown up around them, for crying out loud. Those were my dads. My best friend finding them attractive bothered me somewhat. I wasn’t worried anything would happen. They only had eyes for my mum, but still… it wasn’t something I wanted to think about.
