CHAPTER 44 - Drama Ensues

"Don't be rude, honey," Marianne said, turning to him.

"Actually, everyone is already in the graveyard. I was just waiting here for you guys."

Meanwhile, at the graveyard, Y/N placed Lily's gift on the ground with the others and finally acknowledged Logan. She walked over slowly, and as Logan's gaze lifted, he noticed Y/N approaching. He smiled, his expression brightening.

"Y/N, I'm glad you could make it," he said with a smile.

"Why does it sound like such a surprise?" She inquired, raising her eyebrow and placing a hand on her hip while tilting her head slightly.

"Well, you never really responded if you'd come, so we thought you wouldn't show." he said, scratching his cheek with one finger. "What made you change your mind?"

"It was just a last-minute change. Not a big deal." she shrugged.

Logan nervously waved his hand. "Not that I'm not happy you're here. I'm really glad you're here."

Aiden chimed in, shrugging as he causally placed a hand on Logan's shoulder. "Relax, I'm pretty sure she's happy to be here now. Imagine how boring it would be if we didn't have the whole crew here," he said with a cheeky smile, his playful nature showing.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration." Y/N rolled her eyes.

"Honestly, we're going to have so much fun as a group. I have a lot of ideas - we could play hide and seek, cards, hopscotch, musical chairs, tag..."

"Okay, okay- let's... take a moment." Y/N placed her hand a short distance away from his lips and looked at Lily.

"Come on, add some life to your life."

Confused, she looked at him. "What is that supposed to even mean?" Y/N always found his words confusing, trying to decipher his intentions every time they spoke.

"Fun," he replied simply, looking at her as he gently lowered her hand that was just inches from his mouth.

"Ah, of course... What did I even expect," she thought to herself, crossing her hands and sighing as she tried to find some other form of entertainment, like a quiet place which was more likely to be possible.

"I want to have fun," Lily said. Y/N turned her head, finding it hard to resist such a cute plea, but they would have to wait for the others to arrive.

"Same."

"Aiden, your not a child."

"What? You cannot tell me to not have fun."

"I'm sure the others will be here soon," Logan said, checking the time.

Ben patted his sister with one hand while holding her in his arm. Y/N found it sweet how caring and kind he was, even with his past. Despite that, he remained sweet to his sister. She never would have guessed he had any siblings.

After some time, Tyler and Taylor's mother arrived with Y/N's parents and grandparents. Ashlyn led them to the graveyard, where Taylor and Drake were holding presents. Y/N's dad was carrying covered food, and her grandparents had a single present each.
