logsevans:
“Yeah, I suppose,” he shrugged. He cared about the subject but didn’t have too much input. ”Are you going to complain and be stubborn about your middle name now?” he teased.
She paused briefly before she nodded slowly. “Maybeee…” Lizzie grinned, teasing him lightly. “That would show exactly why I should switch middle names.” She joked with a laugh....
@Lizzie
logsevans:
“She can be worse than how she was with Ryan?” he asked, almost in a judging tone. He couldn’t figure out why Lizzie was friends with a girl like that. ”And your middle name is not stubborn. It’s Grace,” he grinned.
“Sometimes.” She admitted, knowing exactly how it sounded like but it wasn’t like Harper was a bad person. Lizzie knew it but she was aware that people didn’t. “She...

She looked a little confused at the last one, raising an eyebrow in a funny way as she chuckled. “Seen? When?”
“Tumblr,” he rolled his eyes. ”When she and Ryan were going to… whatever with each other.”
“Oh right, that.” She nodded, making a slight face at the memory. “Believe me when I say that sometimes she can me worst than that. Just to...

Lizzie let out a small laugh at that. “Harper was very kind.” She agreed with a smile. “But she was veryyyy stubborn too.”
“Yeah,” he laughed as well. “I’ve heard. Seen, too.”
She looked a little confused at the last one, raising an eyebrow in a funny way as she chuckled. “Seen? When?”

xelizabethbailey:
“I already told you…Maggie.” She said with a small shrug. “I just don’t want to get to a point that she has to live with some faraway relative or something.”
“As long as you’re still with her, she’s going to be fine,” he assured her. ”It’s probably a good thing you’re living with Harper’s family.”
Lizzie let out a small laugh at that. “Harper was very...

“I know.” She nodded slowly. “After my birthday if she doesn’t come back, I will search for help.” She agreed, kind of sounding like a silent promise. “I know but you know that’s not what is worrying me either, Logan.”
“Then what exactly is worrying you?” he asked for clarification.
“I already told you…Maggie.” She said with a small shrug....

xelizabethbailey:
A small smile crossed her lips when she heard his answer. “Thank you.” She told him honestly. “Just…you know…don’t mention it with anyone, okay?”
“Yeah, I won’t. But if she doesn’t come back you know you have to do something,” he nodded. ”You’re not going to be alone if it comes to that, okay?”
“I know.” She nodded slowly. “After my birthday...

She sighed and nodded slowly. “Yes. It’s not even two months though…”
“That’s—” he sighed and stopped. ”Alright.”
A small smile crossed her lips when she heard his answer. “Thank you.” She told him honestly. “Just…you know…don’t mention it with anyone, okay?”
@Lizzie
logsevans:
xelizabethbailey:
“But that’s something for me to worry after. Not right now.” Lizzie shrugged slightly before she added. “Let’s just wait a few more months. At least until my birthday.”
“You want to wait until April to see if your mom is going to come back home?” he said slowly.
She sighed and nodded slowly. “Yes. It’s not even two months though…”
@Lizzie
logsevans:
xelizabethbailey:
She shook her head slowly. “I can see your point but…” She paused for a moment, sighing. “Maggie is a minor. That’s something I can’t risk, not even for my mom. As bad as this is going to sound…she isn’t more important than Maggie and it’s not worth the trouble.”
“So are you,” he reminded her. ”But what if something bad happened that she’s not coming back?...
@Lizzie
logsevans:
xelizabethbailey:
“I know.” She pulled back only a little to look up at him. “But I still can’t get the police involved, Logs.”
“But you should. What if something bad happened?” He really didn’t want to bring it up but there was no easy way.
She shook her head slowly. “I can see your point but…” She paused for a moment, sighing. “Maggie is a minor....

xelizabethbailey:
“But I’m kind of doing something…” She trailed off briefly. “I’m living with Harper.”
“That’s not what I mean,” he shrugged.
“I know.” She pulled back only a little to look up at him. “But I still can’t get the police involved, Logs.”
@Lizzie
logsevans:
xelizabethbailey:
She wrapped her arms around him, returning the hug. It was in these single moments that she realizes how much she actually misses him when he is away. “You know I can’t tell you that.” Lizzie told him. “I never know with my mom.”
“Which is why you can’t just do nothing,” he said quietly.
“But I’m kind of doing something…” She trailed off...

Lizzie sighed slightly. “I know.” Usually just saying ‘February’ was enough to make her forget about how long it actually was but this time, it didn’t exactly work. “Maybe she went to visit some family.”
Standing up again Logan took his hand from hers and pulled her in for a hug, assuming she probably needed one. ”If you can honestly tell me that’s what you...
@Lizzie
logsevans:
xelizabethbailey:
She paused at his question before she nodded her head slowly, not sitting down quite yet as she looked down at him. “It’s only February.”
Looking up at her he shook his head. ”It’s almost been two months.” He tried as hard as he could not to sound worried.
Lizzie sighed slightly. “I know.” Usually just saying ‘February’ was enough to...

xelizabethbailey:
“It’s nothing.” She quickly said, shaking her head as she looked at him. “I can’t get the police involved. She will come back at some point, eventually.”
Logan stopped at the bench and slowly sat down, not letting go of her hand and sighed. ”Christmas, right?”
She paused at his question before she nodded her head slowly, not sitting down quite yet as she...

“No.” She said quietly. “She still didn’t call or anything. Usually she doesn’t take this long…”
“Maybe you should get the police involved?” he tried. He didn’t want to say the words ‘missing person’.

xelizabethbailey:
“I told her.” She assured him with a nod. “But that never stopped kids from dreaming and wishing.”
He sighed and nodded. ”Yeah. Do you know when your mom is coming back?”
“No.” She said quietly. “She still didn’t call or anything. Usually she doesn’t take this long…”
@Lizzie
logsevans:
xelizabethbailey:
“I’m not exactly worried about Harper.” She admitted to him. “I just don’t want her to get used to it, you know…”
“She’s knows it’s not forever, right?” he asked, to make sure. He figured Lizzie would have made it clear from the get go.
“I told her.” She assured him with a nod. “But that never stopped kids from dreaming and wishing.”
@Lizzie
logsevans:
xelizabethbailey:
“That doesn’t really count much.” She laughed, intending to keep her joke lightly before she added more seriously. “Just Harper’s world is dazzling her a little too much.” She shrugged.
“Not like you’re staying there,” he shrugged. ”So I wouldn’t let it worry you too much, right?”
“I’m not exactly worried about Harper.” She admitted to him....
@Lizzie
logsevans:
xelizabethbailey:
“You think?” She raised an eyebrow, laughing lightly. “I don’t know how long Maggie is going to stay harmless, I’m warning you…” She half-joked before she continued, entwining their fingers as she followed him. “She has been spending a lot of time with Harper.”
He laughed at her joke but knew it was only half of a joke. ”I’m sure she’ll be fine. She’s still...

Before Maggie could get away with Emma, she made sure that she had her scarf around her neck just in case that it would get cold. Getting sick wasn’t even an option for her, at least not if Lizzie could avoid that. She saw them for a little before she looked at Logan. “It’s good that they get along.” She said with a smile.
“I didn’t know there was an option that...

Most Disney movies are
Uh you think? I mean, I thought Peter Pan was okay. Or Beauty and the Beast.
If I didn’t think it I wouldn’t have said it
Well it was just a way of saying it but that’s fair.
@Lizzie
logsevans:
“Park it is,” he nodded and started off, away from their temporary home. The drive was pretty short, but he picked one that was closest to the main street in case that was where they wanted to go next. He got out of the car and helped Emma out, grabbing the coloring book from her and leaving it in the vehicle, but with a little coercing. He made sure her coat was all zipped before...

Well I thought it was amazing. Maybe a little too much for kids, I suppose.

logsevans:
When Logan saw them coming he unlocked the doors and waved. He greeted Maggie when she climbed into the backseat and smiled at Emma handing over one of her coloring books, telling her it was for when they got bored. When Lizzie climbed into the front seat he finally said hello to her and leaned over to kiss her cheek. ”So I was thinking the park to start off? Then when we get cold...

It was becoming more and more rare for Logan to come home, this semester was going to kill him if he wasn’t careful. It probably wasn’t the best idea to take twenty credits but every once in a while he felt dumb being twenty two and only now in the middle of his first year of college. Sometimes it didn’t help that he lived in a dorm as well. He did like school, he didn’t want...

“You knew about it,” she repeated and turned her eyes down to the computer and hit play again before looking back up at Lizzie. ”You could have warned me. You should have warned me,” she said, sternly. ”This ruins everything.”
There were so many things that Lizzie wanted to say but she knew that she wasn’t going to listen to her. At least not now. “I...

missharpercollins:
“Yeah,” she said quietly, trying not to get shaky at all. ”Found out right before third period.” Harper shot a look up at Lizzie. ”What do you mean ‘already know’? You knew?” she asked, eyeing her. She never would take Lizzie as a person to hide things from her.
Lizzie simply nodded her head as she listened to what Harper was saying. It really made sense that someone...

missharpercollins:
After watching the video probably twenty five times Harper closed her computer and changed her clothes to be more comfortable, especially if she planned on living in her room for the rest of her life. Her parents could just leave food at her door. She knew some people, if not most, would find her leaving school dramatic but she couldn’t face people the rest of the day. And...

Everything had been so insane in the last week than Elizabeth didn’t even have time to breath but she had a small hope in her that everything would turn out a little more peaceful in the next couple of days - maybe even after the basketball game next Friday. Yet, Lizzie couldn’t be more wrong. One of the cheerleaders texted her in the previous night to talk about some video involving...

“Probably right?” she said, not joking when she challenged the statement. ”Yeah, I mean there’s always someone who stands out and if the freshmen we turned away really want it then they’ll step up,” she shrugged. That’s how she saw it anyway. That’s how the world worked, if you wanted something bad enough you’d work as hard as you could to obtain it. ”I know I’m a...

“Sometimes it’s something people never pick up,” she shrugged. ”And we can’t take that risk,” she said, shaking her head. It really would be horrible and if she wanted to leave senior year with a championship they really couldn’t take that risk. She grinned when Lizzie said no one was going to be better than her. Harper did like to believe she was the best and that was...

She nodded, eyes widening just a little. “God yeah, try outs won’t be crazy next year but I do throw out anyone that automatically doesn’t have rhythm,” she laughed. ”It’s strange that next year we’ll have to be looking for who can take my captain spot. Too bad we can’t just stay an extra year like the teams can,” she shrugged. ”I personally really like high school, most of...

“Yeah,” she started. “I think they’re a good batch coming up next year too so the seniors we lose will be replaceable,” she shrugged. It may have sounded a touch harsh but there was a reason that two juniors were the captain and co-captain. Plus it wasn’t like anyone would be around to hear her. Thinking about how she said things sometimes, and once again, hearing Cory’s...

That’s true. I actually cared about stuff freshman year.
I know, me too! I even loved maths in that time. I really don’t know what happened with that Elizabeth Bailey.
@Lizzie
missharpercollins:
Harper was surprised that Lizzie sounded so amazed she could take a day off of practice. She would do it for any of the girls if they needed it and asked. Though stern, she wasn’t a dictator. Not only was she surprised but almost insulted. Lizzie was her best friend, the one person she knew would stand by her no matter what and Harper would turn around and do the same for...

I couldn’t tell you when either, but freshman year sounds about right for me too.
It’s funny how everything is different since freshman year.

I don’t know when the last time this happened.
You and me. I don’t even remember when was the last time that I finished my homework before midnight. Maybe freshman year or something.
@Lizzie
missharpercollins:
Harper nodded, homework was kind of a big deal to get turned in on time, especially for student athletes, but she figured that if it’s Lizzie the teachers would let her slide just a little, first time offense and everything. She didn’t say anything to dispute it, tired of bringing up little fights with anyone and just tired in general. She would have offered to help unpack a...

missharpercollins:
Hesitantly she closed her eyes, at least she’d get a good night sleep. It was strange to go from a completely empty house, just her and Snow, to a full house without a guest room to spare. Harper was happy that Lizzie decided to let Maggie have her own room, it was about time she stopped playing mother to her sister. And now her best friend was going to be here whenever she...

Staying up late the night before, knowing that she needed to drive to Charlotte in the morning, was a bad idea but Harper hadn’t decided that until she was at least one more hour from home and her mother was sleeping in the back. As happy as she was to have her parents back home she wasn’t missing the questions about school and little comments about her appearance. She knew...

She looked a little uneasy about it. “And are you sure that they are okay with it?”
“I’m calling them and we’ll talk about it. There’s a tiny percent chance they won’t be.”
“Even if they were, I doubt that you would let them say no.” She told her with a smile across her face.
missharpercollins:
xelizabethbailey:
“Yes but-” She paused when she realized something. “Oh but wait…you want me to move in with Maggie when your parents aren’t around?”
“It’s still two or so weeks away,” she nodded.
She looked a little uneasy about it. “And are you sure that they are okay with it?”
