» those nights kept me alive [plot/request]

[Logan Harding]

I remember when
we'd stay up late and we'd talk all night
in a dark room lit by the tv light
though all the hard times in my life,
those nights kept me alive

THE CHARACTERS:

The Boy: Logan H.
The Girl: Open
The Boyfriend (optional): Open

THE PLOT:

Okay, so back in highschool, Logan and Girl were pretty much best friends. They did practically everything together. Many a weekend was spent watching movies (usually to mock them), swapping music, procrastinating homework, and pulling the occasional prank on their siblings or classmates. It didn't matter what they were doing, Logan just loved spending time with her. He felt like he could tell her anything, and vice versa. Girl was smart and funny and she appreciated his sense of humor. What more was there to like? It didn't hurt that he thought she was beautiful, though he usually kept that thought to himself.

By the time his senior year came long, Logan realized that he was starting to have feelings for her. But the last thing he wanted to do was ruin their friendship, so he kept quiet. Besides, Girl didn't seem to have the same feelings anyway. After graduation, Logan and Girl said their goodbyes and headed off to separate colleges in different states. They kept in touch for the first year, IMing and texting as much as they could. But pretty soon, the pressures of college took their toll on the two, and the communication died down. After college graduation, Logan came back to Pinewood and took a job at Ro's Bar and Grill. Soon after, he found out from some friends that Girl was off in California working as a screenplay writer for a small movie company (can be changed).

Girl has crossed his mind many times since then, but he's never attempted to make contact. He figured that she was off making a life for herself and was past having silly highschool friendships. But now, almost five years later, Girl has returned to Pinewood (reasons are up to you) and somehow, her and Logan bump into each other. Before long, they begin to fall back into their old routines. Much to Logan's surprise, their friendship starts off pretty much right where they left off. And his feelings for her are stronger than ever. Of course, things have changed; and they're a little more complicated than they were in highschool.

Girl has a boyfriend now. A pretty serious one. And he's not particularly fond of Logan... but Logan isn't ready to give up just yet. He backs off, but still hangs out with Girl as much as he can, hoping to slowly win her over. However, when Girl's Boyfriend proposes, things quickly become much more complicated. Logan wants Girl to be happy, but he also doesn't want to loose her. He must now decide wither or not to relay his feelings to Girl and risk ruining what they have, or keep his mouth shut, wait it out, and try to be happy for her (with the hopes of her possibly changing her mind)...

Names and PB's are up to you, as long as Girl's age range is about 26-27. Jenna Fischer would be awesome, since Jenna and John are adorable together (CLICKY) and there's tons of pics of them. But if you think that would be too cheesy (since a lot of this sounds like Jim and Pam from The Office) then anyone else is fine ;] I'm really not that picky. The plot is also pretty flexible, as long as they were childhood friends, they loose contact, are reunited, she has a boyfriend, boyfriend he proposes, ect. Just run any changes by me first... oh yeah, if you take this I will love you forever :] let me know if you have any questions! Sorry this is so goshdarn long xD I have a hard time condensing my ideas sometimes...
