Finally Chapter 10, a couples chapters after this and it'll be the end of this fic. Now forgive me if this chapter isn't as long or dramatic as it should be. The summer is drawing closer which means that it'll be hot and the heat drains me of my energy. The gun mentioned is an actual gun and will be mentioned again soon. The quote is from Frank Sinatra's 'I've Got You Under My Skin' which is a song I'd love to have at my wedding. Enjoy the chapter.

"I've got you under my skin; I've got you deep in the heart of me,

So deep in my heat that you're really a part of me." – Frank Sinatra.

Zach stared at the pictures in front of him snarling every time he saw Logan standing near, holding or looking at Cassidy. The sight of the raven haired boy with his true love almost sent him into a murderous rage.

"I need him to stay away from my Cassidy," he seethed to himself as he blackened Logan's faces from his pictures.

His hate for Cassidy's…boyfriend (no he wouldn't call him that, she was always going to be his) grew with every second of him having to see picture after picture of the couple's smiling faces.

But why didn't she ever smile for him that way she did for Logan? That smile was supposed to be his, the looks she gave him were supposed to be for him and only him.

"She'll be mine again," he whispered to himself as he kissed his favorite picture of the chocolate girl.

Logan walked through the lobby humming to himself absent mindedly as he carried a small stack of books he'd got from the book store; 2 of which he'd gotten as a surprise for Cassidy.

"I hope she gets to finish it before we go see the movie," he muttered to himself as he stepped into the elevator.

Pushing the button for his floor, he noticed that Zach was standing next to him and that the boy had a very hostile look that radiated off of him. The glare he gave the young genius made him slightly unnerved.

"Uh… hey Zach," he said giving the boy a small polite smile.

"Whatever," the hazel eye boy grunted at the other who raised his brow in confusion.

"Dude what's your problem?" Logan asked irritated by Zach's standoffish behavior.

"My problem? My problem is that you stole Cassidy from me!" he raged, his eyes wide and wild with fury. "And for that you're going to be sorry!"

Logan didn't make a reply just simply stood there as the elevator doors closed taking Zach and his deluded jealousy away from him. Shaking his head he turned making his way to his apartment and Cassidy.

"That guy has got some serious issues," he muttered to himself as he opened the door to his apartment and went into his room.

He set his books down on his bed and went back out of the apartment to Cassidy's.

'But what did he mean by 'You're going to be sorry'?' he pondered but pushed out of his head as he knocked on Cassidy's apartment door.

Zach walked down the hall on his floor to his apartment fuming over his interaction with Logan. The nerve of him asking what his problem (when to Zach it was clearly obvious) and then proceeded to give him that 'I'm better than you are' look.

He wanted to punch the stupid pop star's face in.

"How dare he…that stupid, cocky, short…ugh!" he ranted as he fumbled with his keys then opened the door in a violent manner.

Stepping inside he sat heavily onto his beige couch as he removed his back pack and opened it to reveal a 9mm Glock 17 hand gun. A tiny wave of relief and elation washed over him as he kept on looking at the firearm.

"50 bucks on that fake I.D was finally worth it," he smirked darkly loading the bullets he purchased for the gun. "All those years of being on drill team are finally about to pay off."

Clicking the magazine in place he aimed the firearm towards his door imagining that Logan was standing before him with a terrified expression.

'I'm sorry Zach…d-do-don't shot…p-please,' he imagined the raven haired boy saying in a desperate voice his arms raised in an 'I surrender' gesture and his body shaking.

Zach leered and felt his heart surge at the image of a bullet filled Logan bleeding on the ground and his precious Cassidy in his arms again.

"POW, then it's bye-bye nerd and Cassidy's all mine again," he cackled manically as he put the loaded gun back into his backpack.

"So how was your day bunny?" Logan asked Cassidy who was sitting next to him on the living room couch, but the girl has her eyes glued to one of the books he had bought for her.

"What? Oh, it was fine… fine," she answered her voice slightly traveling off as she kept on reading.

Snorting Logan smirked as he watched the mocha skinned girl become fully immersed in the novel she was holding. Every minute or two she'd turn the page, sigh softly, lean closer to the page then lean away from it and then would repeat the process.

"The movie's coming out soon, I'm on the 3rd chapter and I already love it," she said suddenly closing the book and held it to herself tightly. "It's written in such a beautiful way."

"But isn't it about a serial killer?" Logan asked with a raised brow.

"It is, but it's more than that, the guy has this really strong sense of smell and he falls in love with the smell of this one woman and he ends up killing her and others so that he can turn their bodies into perfume," she informed the brunette her eyes fixated on the cover of the book as she let it rest on her lap.

"That has got to be the creepiest thing I've ever heard," he replied shaking the shiver the crawled its way down his spine.

"I know right, you have to admit that it's pretty interesting though," Cassidy said excitedly while Logan shrugged.

"I guess, and you want to see the movie?" Logan asked with a slight worried expression on his face.

"Of course and you're watching it with me, no excuses," she said firmly and grinned at the pout that contorted the boy's face.

"I hope the murder scenes aren't too bloody and explicit… so what do you want to want to watch?" the boy asked as Cassidy cuddled against his side, the pout leaving his face.

"Wall-E, I haven't seen it in a while and it's so cute," she said taking the remote from Logan's hand and selecting the Disney film.

"Thank god, I thought you were going to suggest Saw IV or something."

"Those movies aren't even scary, now shush Wall-E's starting."

Logan sighed wrapping his arms around Cassidy and laughed every time the girl would squeal over the little robot.

"You know Logie, you remind me of Wall-E," she said after a while, a small smile on her face.

"Good because that means you're my Eve," he replied squeezing her tightly and kissing the side of her face.

A soft giggle left her mouth and the two fell back into a comfortable silence continuing to watch the animated film. Logan had long since forgotten Zach's words to him, in fact it was as if they were a distant memory eaten up by time.

The next update will come soon, for now leave me some reviews please xoxo
