A/N: Sorry it took so long, but having to edit before posting and working on other things takes a while before I like them. Good news though, I'm on spring break, so no school, just work, with a lot of time to write on the side. I hope. Enjoy.

Chapter 7

Logan woke up, but the first thing to stick out in his mind was that he was not in the girl's apartment. Instead he was in a dark room which had little light coming in through a near by tiny window in the wall. The room was cold and icy, something about it made him wish he was anywhere else at the moment. As he looked up he saw that there was a door in front of him. As he opened the door he was met with a gun pointed to his face and a hooded figure behind it.

"Look who finally woke up." The figure behind the gun said.

"Who are you? Where am I?" Logan asked in fear.

"Now, now Logan. That's no way to treat me." The figure said.

"How do you know my name?" Logan asked again, his eyes still fixed on the gun.

"I'm a little disappointed that you can't remember me Logie." The figure said as he ripped off his mask. "How could you not remember your own father?"

"Well that's easy because I never had one. It was like ever since I was born I was never wanted by you." Logan shot back.

Logan's father had hit Logan square in the jaw with the gun he was holding, knocking Logan on the floor. He spit out the blood that was coming out from his mouth. Logan's father bent down and picked him up by the collar. Dragging him down a long dark hallway. What Logan did not know that at the end of the hallway was a flight of stairs.

Moments later Mr. Mitchell threw Logan down the stairs. Logan hit the bottom and was not able to get up in time to get away from his father.

"Whoops, sorry, butter fingers." Mr. Mitchell said laughing evilly.

Logan was once again picked up by the collar and dragged off to another room. As his father finished he threw Logan on to the floor. Logan quickly inspected the room. It had looked familiar. It was somewhere that he had known about his whole life. Then he realized it, he was back in his kitchen in his old home. In the middle of the kitchen were two chairs.

"Get up and get in one of the chairs." Mr. Mitchell ordered his son, holding his gun firmly.

Logan did what he was told and sat in one of the chairs. Logan's father then preceded to tie him up. Putting his hands behind his back.

"What are you going to do to me?" Logan asked.

"Something that should have happened all those years ago." Mr. Mitchell said leaving the room.

He returned later with another hooded figure. This one though happened to be a woman. He set the woman in the chair and tied her hands behind her back and whispered something in to her ear. The woman began to start to weep and tried to make efforts of escaping, but no prevail. All Logan could do was watch as his father, no, this man tortured this poor girl. As he looked at the woman, he could not think of anyone that it could possibly be, until someone popped in his head.

"Mom?" Logan said short of a whisper.

"No, Logie. Your mother is over there. This is someone even better." Mr. Mitchell said pointing behind Logan.

Logan turned around to look at something in the distance. He saw a body lay limp on the floor surrounded by a pool of blood. Everything that Logan remembered about the day of the "incident" came rushing back to him.

"If that's not my mother, then who is it?" Logan questioned.

"Wow, and I thought you were smart." His father said lifting the hood off the girl.

Logan gasped at who he saw that was underneath the hood.

"Shelby." Was all Logan could say at the moment, for being in a state of shock.

It killed him to watch her as she had duck tape over her mouth and tears falling from her eyes. Logan looked at his father and then back to the girl.

"Shelby, don't worry I'll make sure you'll be safe." Logan said looking at his father. "How could you do this, you monster!"

"I needed to get to you somehow."

"Well you got me, now let her go. It will just be the two of us."

"Sorry Logan I can't do that." Mr. Mitchell said ripping off the duck tape from her mouth. "She's seen too much, can't let her go run to the cops."

"Logan, please help me!" Shelby screamed.

"Shut up!" Mr. Mitchell screamed as he hit her with the back of his hand.

"Don't touch her." Logan said trying to undue the knot that kept him from getting up from his chair.

Mr. Mitchell pointed his gun towards Shelby. Logan rushed as fast as he could to undue the knot, but he was having no luck at all. He just looked up and saw the gun pointed towards Shelby's head. Seconds later a shot rang out through the room. Logan looked at Shelby, through his teary eyes. She wasn't moving. Her head was hung low, and blood coming from her mouth.

"Now there is one good thing that can come from this." Mr. Mitchell said.

"You bastard, I swear I'm going to ring your neck, and if you're not dead by the time I will be through with you, your ass will be back in jail, just like the last time, right after you shot mom right in front of me."

"Oh, no that is where you are wrong Logan." Mr. Mitchell pointed the gun right between Logan's eyes. "I don't need you anymore, so I might as well dispose of you. Say hello to your mother for me."

As his eyes stared down the barrel of the gun. Logan knew what was coming so he had to try to make one last break for it.

"It's too late Logan."

Logan looked up and before he could say anything, his father pulled the trigger. Sending him in to complete darkness.

"No!" Logan screamed as he woke up, forgetting that Shelby was on him as he threw her off the couch.

"Ow, Logan." Shelby shot up from the floor holding her head.

"I'm so sorry, must have forgotten you were there. Here let me take a look." After inspecting her head he realized that there was nothing wrong.

Everyone else was woken up by the unsuspecting scream of Logan. When they all rose up from their slumber they were watching Logan inspecting Shelby's head, like she she was a primate and he was looking for bugs to eat.

"Um, Logan what are you doing?" Kendall asked.

"Just checking to make sure I didn't hurt Shelby here." He responded.

"Yeah smarty pants here just threw me off the couch screaming in his sleep again." Shelby said.

All the girls laughed, but the boys knew all too well as to why Logan was screaming in his sleep, again. Moments later Kendall's and Shae's phones both went off at the same time. As they looked at their phones, with the same strange look, they read the text message out loud.

"Dogs and girls, bring Shelby and that idiot smart pup here, right now! Gwagh!" They both read in unison.

"Who was it and what is 'gwagh'?" Katie asked.

"That was Gustavo, and Gustavo's scream via text message. So that means that we should get going before he kills us." James said.

"I wonder what he could want with Logan and Shelby." Carlos said.

"Well we'll have to find out then won't we." Kate said

"OK so we are going back to our apartment to get changed. Meet each other in the lobby in about fifteen minutes?" Logan said.

Everyone nodded as the boys ran to their apartment. As they were nearing the apartment the guys stopped in front of their door. Logan was caught off guard and bumped in to all three boys.

"Guys what are you doing?" Logan asked.

"Better question. How was your date with Shelby yesterday?" Kendall asked.

"It wasn't a date!" Logan cried out.

"Sure." The three said in unison.

"Logan she fell asleep in your arms. You can't tell me you don't see something there." Carlos said.

"For once Logan, Carlos is right. I mean Shelby is in to you and you don't see it." James said.

"Will you guys leave me alone about that already. With Gustavo wanting to see me already has got me a little nervous already, so I really don't need this, and what about you guys with the other girls? You all seem to like each other so do something about it."

"We already have."

As the girls walked downstairs towards the lobby, a millions things were going through Shelby's mind. Like how did she fall asleep next to Logan?Why were his arms around her? Why did he scream when he woke up again, like last time? More importantly, what did Gustavo want with him and her?

"So how was your date with Logan?" Shae asked.

"It wasn't a date, more of like a 'thank you' outing." Shelby responded.

"Yeah, bull. You like him and he likes you. Just ask him out." Katie said. "I mean he wrapped his arms around you last night and held you close while you two slept."

"I'm pretty sure there was an good reason for it."

"Yes, maybe along the lines that he likes you." A voice coming from behind them.

The girls turned around to come face to face with Katie Knight.

"Oh hey Katie. How would you know that?" Kate asked.

"Because Logan has been like another brother to me for like the past eight years, especially when six of them was even after we adopted him. I can tell when he likes someone."

"Wait you guys adopted Logan?" Shelby asked.

Katie then realized that she had said too much and turned around and headed back up to 2J, running right pass her brother and his friends.

"Whoa, where is Katie going?" Logan asked.

"I'm guessing back to the room." Kendall said. "So should we get going before animal control comes looking for us?"

As the group of friends left the Palm Woods, the girls kept quiet about their talk with Katie. All though sooner or later something had to be said. Shelby thought that maybe after their meeting with Gustavo would be the right moment. She hated confronting Logan, especially when the last time she confronted Logan, she found something bad out. Maybe this time would be different. As they continued their walk to Rocque Records, Shelby just looked only in one of two directions. In front of her and Logan. He is hiding something, maybe I can get it out of him, she thought.

As soon as they walked in to Rocque Records, they could hear the screaming from their music producer.

"Here we go." They all said in unison and carried on towards Gustavo's office.
