He dumps the suitcase untidily in the middle of the kitchen floor and opens the fridge. His demeanour looks agitated as he verbalizes a few nods to the caller. He takes out a glass bottle of Coca-Cola, and pries the top off with his teeth. He walks towards the living area tossing some papers on the counter as he goes, and slouch on to a settee.
(Logan): Ally, I get it. If yer that unsure about goin’ tae this school why don’t ye just tell Talon.
The camera takes a peek at the papers on the counter and see’s an unused plane ticket headed with “New York City to Edinburgh”. It then moves closer to where Logan is sat, to hear the rest of the conversation.
(Logan): Alright honey, yer right he is just looking out for what’s best for you. But if ye like I could talk tae him.
He takes a sip of the cool drink and “ahh’s” slightly.
(Logan): No’ sure what I’d tell him… but ye know.
There’s a pauses as Ally speaks again. A slight frown appears on Logans face.
(Logan): Why would he no’ want tae talk tae me?
He sits more upright as Ally explains Talons comments about Logan not coming to his aid at Blood, Sweat and Tears.
(Logan): Aye well, he can take care of himself.
Ally’s reply seems a little more upset and the words “He’s always there to help you” can be heard from the handset.
(Logan): I didnae ask him tae help me. That’s his thing; playing the hero, not mine!
A muffled “That’s not the point” is heard and Logan lets out a sign and slouches back down in defeat.
(Logan): Aye yer right. I should have helped him. I’m meant tae be his friend after all.
He takes another drink as Ally talks again, more calm now.
(Logan): Not sure. You fancy going tae see Harry Potter or something tomorrow night?
His face drops a little as she explains she’s already went to see it with her brother.
(Logan): Oh well. We can just have a night in if ye like?
He rubs his head as the camera picks a few words up “working at the bar, sorry”.
(Logan): Oh right…. That’s cool, I’ll go to the gym again.
Sensing the disappointed tone in his voice Ally is heard apologising again.
(Logan): It’s fine. I was meant tae be back home anyway so yer allowed tae have other stuff on. What about the day after?
“I start at College that day” is heard, then a pause before the voice comes again, “then I’ll be tired at night from work all night before. What about Thursday night?” She can be heard saying hopefully. Logan bites his lip in frustration.
(Logan): I fly out tae Boston on Thurs. And am guessing since yer banned from shows ye’ll no’ be coming.
Ally agrees. “This sucks! I’ll won’t see you forever!” clear annoyance in hear voice.
(Logan): I know gorgeous. It’s rather shite tae say the least. But I’ll call ye, and ye can let me know how college is.
He takes a larger gulp as Ally replies quietly, almost sobbing.
(Logan): I’ll maybe come round tae the bar and see ye for a bit, text me if it’s no’ too busy and we can catch up……. Cheer up… I love you.
She replies too quietly to be heard but Logans face breaks out into a smile.
(Logan): Okay Ally, you get some sleep. Talk tae ye soon. Night, night.
Logan smiles again before hanging up the phone, exhaling loudly and casting his phone to the side. He gets up drains his bottle and walks back to the kitchen, lifting his unused tickets from the cancelled flight due to horrendous snowfall in Scotland the last few days, he crumples them up and throws them and his bottle into the trash. He lifts his suitcase and heads to his bed as the scene fades to black.
