Chapter 1

I watch Logan leave, something's been up with him lately. I can tell he's been hiding something from us. I decided to follow him. I know it's wrong but I have a gut feeling and I always follow my gut feelings, well almost always. Nothing seems out of the ordinary and I was just beginning to wonder if I was wrong when he was dragged into an alley. I sprint into the alleyway just in time to see one of the guys from school fist hit Logan's face. I don't think, I sprint into the alleyway and swing my fist into the first guy I meet. He catches my weak punch esay and throws me onto the ground. The leader, Justin swings at Logan "I thought I told you no friends, you're gonna pay for that," he yells at Logan, my eyes widen in horror as his fist connects with Logan's gut. "I... I don't know why she... she's here. I promise I told no one" Logan stammers. I stagger to my feet "Logan didn't know I followed him," I say, Justin swings round "Shut it, bitch," he growls "Jack, keep her out of my way and make sure she keeps her mouth shut while I deal with this loser." he orders. Jack grabs my arms, twisting them behind my back. He kicks my legs until I fall onto my knees, he wraps an arm round my body. Pinning my arms against my sides while his other had is over my mouth.

I'm forced to watch as the bullies hurt one of my closest friends. When he's finished with Logan, Justin turns on me "Your turn now and I'm gonna make you regret coming to the nerd," he snarls, advacing on me slowly. The guy holding Logan runs over and helps Jack lift me off the ground. Logan staggers to his feet "Logan, I'll meet you at your house, but please don't stay" I beg him. Logan nod and hobbles off, fast.

Justin's fist connects with my face, then gut. Buy the end of the beating I feel like collapsing but Jack and the other guy are holding me up. Justin walks closer "Sweetheart if you don't want to... mess with you, and you know what I man by that. Then you are not tell anyone of this and you are to be with the nerd tomorrow." He whispers in my ear, fingers traveling lightly over my bruises. I shiver, a lump forms in my throat and I try to swallow. He pulls his arm back and I nod quickly, feeling ashamed that I gave in so quickly. He smiles creepily and I shiver "Good" he says motioning to the guys, the release me and I flop to the ground.

By the time I've got to my feet Justin and his friends are gone. Groaning I stand up and begin to make my way over to Logan's house.

Logan's POV

I feel as weak and pathetic as Justin said I was, but I knew I couldn't stand and watch Ellie get hurt. She had told me to go and I was afraid of what Justin might do if I stayed. I hobble as fast as I can back home and proceed to patch myself, covering the marks and bruises as much as I could before Ellie joins me.

I've just finished patching myself up when the phone rigns. "Hello," I answer, "Logan, dude where are you? Do you know where Ellie is?" Casey asks. Oops I think, I had forgotten about that. "Um, Ellie asked me to help her with a job she was doing so she could get it done faster," I lie "Well hurry up, if you two don't show up soon we'll start the movie without you." Casey threatens. I laugh "Don't worry, we'll be there." I say and click the phone down. Shoot I had completely forgotten about the movie night sleepover the six of us we're having.

Ellie POV

Logan patches me up really fast, I can see he'll make a great doctor one day. When he's finished I cover the bruises on my face with makeup and hope for the best. Than I call my sister to pick us up.

Amy grins when she sees my makeup. "I'm glad you're finally using makeup Li'll sis. You're starting to grow up. i force a smile "Yeah..." I mumble. Amy notices my glum mood and she cranks up the radio, urging me and Logan into singing along with her. By the time we're at Casey's we are all singing and I'm feeling a lot better.

Casey, Kendall, James and Carlos mush have been watching fo Logan and me to show up because the door is open before we even reach it. "Ellie, what job we're you doing that took so long?" James asks, "Why are you wearing makeup? And what happened to you're face Logan?" Kendall asks, looking at us hard. I pause "I was picking fruit for an old lady and I asked Logan if he could help. I accidentally knocked some of the top fruit down and they hit Logan. I'm wearing makeup because my sister did it up for me and I can't be bothered taking it off." I lie, not really expecting them to believe me but they do, although Logan is giving me a weird look and I know why.

Ella... Ella... Ella what a weak loser you are. I know you can't keep the promise you made and it will only be a matter of tim till you break it and he gets you. Then I will get you too. No one will know who it really was.

Please review. It would be really nice to know if it's good or not
I need help with who it is that hates Ella/Ellie. Does anyone have any ideas?
