Chapter 9

Tyler and Rebecca had fallen asleep on the couch in her apartment. Rebecca woke up first the next morning and she quietly got off of Tyler without waking him. She needed something to sooth her pounding head. She put on the coffee and got some ibuprofen out of the medicine cabinet.

She sat on the coffee table in front of the couch and smiled as she watched Tyler sleeping. He looked so peaceful, oh and so handsome. Rebecca knew she loved him, but she wouldn't say the words to him, not yet. She didn't want to scare him off

Tyler shifted, he could feel her eyes on him and he couldn't help but smirk when he felt her hand on his cheek. He grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, as he kissed her hand, he opened his eyes

"Morning drunkie" he smiled

Rebecca pulled her hand away "Hey, I wasn't that drunk…although I sure feel it this morning" she said rubbing her head

Tyler pulled her to the couch and she landed on top of him "Whoa" she giggled

"You know, that headache is probably somewhat from falling flat on your face" he chuckled and from the confused look on her face, he realized "What you don't remember?" he sighed then joked "What a shame"

"Oh shut up" she said hitting him in the shoulder

Tyler smirked "Hate to break it to ya babe, but you're gonna have to make me"

"Oh is that right?" she smiled then kissed him

He immediately deepened the kiss. Tyler brought his hands down to the hem of her shirt, and at that moment she pulled back and got up

"Hey hey hey, where are you going?" he asked still in a daze

"I'm getting some coffee" she said "I need something to help with this hangover"

Tyler got up and walked over to where Rebecca was standing at the counter. He wrapped his arms around her waist then whispered in her ear "You know, coffee isn't what you need to get rid of that hangover"

"Oh, and I suppose you know what I need?" she turned around in his arms and smiled

"Yeah" he smirked "Me"

Tyler then leaned in and kissed her, and after a few breathless moments, she pulled back "As much as I want you right now…" she smiled "I should probably go check on Lulu, she had more booze than I did last night"

"Alright" Tyler smiled letting her go

Rebecca knocked on Lulu's door "Hey Lulu, wake up"

When she didn't hear anything, she opened the door "Lulu?"

She saw that Lulu was no where in the room, she gasped and ran out of the room

"Ty, she's not there" Rebecca panicked, then it hit her "Wait a minute, wasn't your friend supposed to bring her home? What the hell did Logan do to her?Where are they?" she yelled

"Becca, I'm sure she's fine" Tyler said trying to calm her down "Logan's a good guy, he'd never hurt her"

"What makes you so sure" she asked "How are you so sure you can trust him"

"Look babe" he said softly "Logan and I, we fought in Iraq together, I trust him with my life and I know we can trust him with Lulu's. I know him, I know that he'd never hurt her"

Rebecca slowly nodded "If you trust him…then I trust him" she said "I should probably call her"

"Logan tell me what happened" Lulu said "How did you get that scar on your stomach?"

"Lu" he sighed, putting his shirt on "It's just from one of my run-ins with Johnny, it's no big deal"

"Logan, it is a big deal" she said sternly "He stabbed you didn't he?"

Logan slowly nodded

"And it's my fault" she said quietly starting to tear up

Logan walked up to her and wiped away the tears that managed to fall "Lulu, I promise you…none of this is your fault, none of it at all" he said looking into her eyes

Before Lulu could reply, her phone rang

"Hello?" she answered

"Lulu, where are you, I thought Logan was bringing you home, are you alright?" Rebecca asked all in one breath

"Becca, I'm fine" Lulu said "Logan and I, well we decided to go somewhere and talk about old times…really I'm fine"

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I promise" Lulu told her

"Okay, well when are you coming home?" Rebecca asked

"I don't know, but I'll call you later okay…bye" Lulu said then hung up

She looked up to a smirking Logan "What?" she asked

"You lied…why?" he asked

Lulu shrugged "I didn't want to tell her that 'we're running away from my psycho ex' over the phone"

"Psycho ex? Well I see you've finally come to your senses about Johnboy" Logan smirked

'If Johnny's the psycho ex, then what does she think of me?' he thought to himself

"Are you going to tell her the truth?" he asked

Lulu shook her head "No, not at the moment…but if I have to then I'll tell her" Lulu said then she decided to change the subject "So, what are we going to do about Johnny and the mess you're in?"
