A week afterinto Bentley’s house, MacKenzie, Hunter and Ryder ca and carrying on Friday night, when they arrived, MacKenzie showed up with two bottles of wine, The Notebook and chocolate Of course I started crying the second my eyes landed on hers, I ed and kissed Ryder all over, MacKenzie and I escaped up toout downstairs

We talked about Mason and Lily, a lot She mostly listened and chimed in here and there Our hate towards Lily and Brittany was e somehow MacKenzie told me she hasn’t talked to Mason one He pretty much kept to hiht at the bar when all this draet him to open up but he just avoids it at all cost

MacKenzie wraps me in her arms, "Hailey, you’re like a sister to me and alill be I need you to worry about you for a while, okay? Screw Mason and everything else that has happened I want the girl that you use to be back The crazy, sassy, not giving a shit about anyone or anything, Hailey You lost her and I want her back"

She’s right, I’m not the same I’m sad and emotional "I’ll work on it, for you and forto Kenzie I don’t knohat I would do without you"

Two bottles of wine later, MacKenzie and I had passed out in my bed, cuddled up to each other Hunter came to collect his wife but she looked too comfortable so he and Ryder left her there and went back to the hotel alone

On Saturday, we took Ryder to the beach in thetime with theed in their fas feel a bit strained because, at the end of the day, MacKenzie is Mason’s little sister Little things she does re this tioodbye to MacKenzie as well I need the tiain I love all the Cahills in their oay and would lay ht now I needed the distance Saturday night I got a little bonding tiet new tattoos froan and I horeat with hi around little kids since his sister had a baby, right around the saht and said that they were going to be later than they expected I told her I would keep Ryder with ht off While MacKenzie was getting her tattoo, Loganfor Ryder to sleep in The end of the night wrapped up with Logan and I sleeping on the couch and Ryder in his pack-n-play

Sunday et on the road since Hunter had to work on MondayI was really upset when they left and a few tears were shed Logan swooped in and saved the day, though He tookon, we chatted with ease on the way down to thebut life always got in the hen I was down here the last tinal on e coht "Yeah, I know exactly what you mean Your freshman year wasn’t tooyou and Kenzie everywhere"

I laughed, "You can say that again"

Logan looked over at me and frowned, "I’m sorry that I was part of that I wish I would have tried harder to make you understand what happened in the library that day with Brittany"

Later on, after ere on the boat, just off shore, I let allabove the water with only a parachute, the wind inThe vieas beautiful; dolphins ju the beach, little kids building sandcastles and people playing and splashing in the ocean

A few hours and lots of fun later, Logan asked, "You want to take a walk on the beach?"

I sreed "I’an s" Then he took off like a bat out of hell

I yelled after hian and I were done acting like little kids, playing around in the sand, writing our nairl build a sandcastle, ent across the street to one of the best little places to eat, called The Raven Logan and I sat in there eating and drinking for hours I thought things would have been weird between us after I pretty ht he was lad I cut ties with Logan back then; it just wasn’t in our cards to be together Talking with Logan came easy, yeah the occasional fan ca year and he nicely answered their questions and then dismissed them If this was Mason he would have an and Mason are so different and it’s kind of refreshing, but not, at the saan has the blonde hair that is all over the place but looked good, Mason’s hair is dark and he keeps a short Logan is toned, but really skinny, with long legs, which works for hi back for ODU Mason is toned but est opposite is the way they carry the Mason is cocky, sarcastic, conceited, and temperamental on the outside, unless you know the real Mason; the one that is protective, caring, loving and affectionate

After our second beer, Logan says hesitantly, "Bentley kind of filled me in on what happened with Mason"

I set my beer down on the table, "Of course he did Bentley’s like a girl when it co with me and then his ht that Mason and you would wind up getting ain and the ache inreally sweet, telling s that I needed to hear "There are more fish in the sea"
