Chapter Seven:

Disclaimer: I do not own Zoey 101. But I do own Margo

That was all Logan could think about while Margo was off at her mother's funeral. How was he going to get her out of this? her father was going to allow her to stay at PCA untill the semester was over, and then that would be it. If he couldn't find a way to keep her safe, how could he ever begin to think about how to tell her about his feelings? Her place in his heart?

It was when he was sitting in his algebra class that he got the idea! while Mr.Kirby was yapping on about numbers and junk; he thought about his plan.

"You want me to live with you?" Margo asked once she had returned and heard his idea. "Like, leave with you after the Semester is over and live at your house?"

"Yeah! It beats going back with your father and never seeing anyone again; doesn't it?" Margo nodded; it did infact, beat it. Yet somehow; she did not feel as if she should go with him, his father was not legally the guardian of Margo; but her father was if anything happend to her mother. But was that really what she wanted to think about? The end of the semester was still many months away; and alot could happen between then and there.

She couldn't take it. She had to sit in her room alone, to think. She locked the door so Logan couldn't interrupt her; what was happening with her? She hated Logan so feircly, while at the same time, she'd do just about anything for him. She started to pummel her head with her pillow; screaming at herself to stop it. When Zoey walked in; she rose an eyebrow at Margo's tantrum. She was like a kid in a candy store; screaming, thrashing on her bed.

"Did I miss something?"

"No!" Margo screamed. Zoey jumped back at the anger in her voice. "Why can't I just be insane and get it over with? Why the hell do I have to think such vial thoughts about such a vial person!"

"who?" That is when she relized she was screaming aloud.

"No one."

"who?" It kept on like that untill she finally admitted it.

"Logan. I swore I'd never get involved with such a basturd and then he turns right around and asks me to live with him when the Semester is over!" She has really got to stop thinking aloud.

"What?" Zoey exclaimed. "You've got to explain this to me, Logan, asked you to..live with him?" Margo nodded.

"God I hate him. First he pisses me off, then he breaks my leg, then he punches some guy in the eye twice, then I punture holes in his hand, and now; I'll have to live with him!"

"Margo; I've gone through the same thing. Logan has this way about him about acting like a total gentleman; but in reality; he is a big asshole. I don't want you to get hurt again."

"I won't." she promised Zoey. "Logan...he just...Its probably just PMS. Right? How our hormones explode like that during PMS. right?"

"You can blame it on that if you want. C'mon, lets go to the school store; there are these really great jelly candies..."

OK, there she was at the school store; trying her hardest to push into her brain that she was just a victom of hormonal explosions. She bought a few jelly candies, a hoodie, and a hat with the PCA logo on it. She almost had convensed herself that it was just PMS that was causing this feeling; but the minute Logan, Chase, and Michael walked into the room; her heart exploded. She turned quickly to the PCA snow globes and made it look like she was picking one out.

"I swear to god." She could hear their conversation. "If he touches her; I'll kick his ass worse than I've ever kicked his ass. You know what he is planning don't you?"

"Yes Logan, you told us fifty times already." Chase groaned; looking at a new PCA backpack.

"Well I mean it. That guy touches her the way he is planning to and he is dead meat; do you hear me chase?"

"Yes Logan." Chase was growing bored with the conversation. Margo nudged Zoey in the side; motioning for her to ask Logan what was going on. But before she could; Jake re-appeared for the fourth..fifth...or third time? I think fifth. Anyway; he smiled all cooly at her; and made her remember what made her love him to begin with.

"Look Margo, I'm really sorry about what happend and all. Taylor and I..well..were broken up. I didn't mean anything I said about you; your a really beautiful girl; will you be my girlfriend again?" She didn't want to believe this was what was happoning. Had he truely relized the two were ment to be? "Well, I can see your not won over yet. How about I take you out and make a promise to you that I'll never be like that again?"

It was worth a try, right? Logan had seen him with her and answerd for her.

"She isn't interested. You here me?" Margo just watched. "I'm not letting her go through that again. Say one rude thing to her and I'll break your nose, kiss her and you'll lose all your teeth, touch her anywhere on her body and I'll put you in a Mourge." Zoey nudged Margo in the side.

"You got yourself a good man there." She whisperd to Margo as Logan continued to threaten him. Margo blushed at what Zoey said as the two boys fought over her.

"If you don't like Margo, you can have Taylor." Jake offored, but Logan started yelling as if he had never said anything at all.

"You shut up!" Logan yelled. "Why the hell would I want a total whore like Taylor?"

"Jake.." It was the first time during the fight Margo had spoke. "I'm not doing this anymore. I don't like you, I used to, heck, I loved you. But now...now I don't and never will love you again."

"You can't mean that. I'm telling you Margo; I've changed. One date? How much could one date hurt?" She didn't know, but she agreed. Whatever happend; she could get herself out of it.

The date was OK when it started; light conversation at a coffee shop, but when it started to rain, Jake said he'd walk her back to her dorm, but little did she know, he really had other plans. He walked her into his own dorm room instead; and locked the door. On the floor were pictures of himself, and margo, and pictures of himself with Taylor. There were also, on a few pictures of just himself; were Taylor and Margo together; Taylor on one arm and Margo on the other; his arm candies. He tossed the umbrella aside and pinned Margo down on the bed; he started kissing her up her neck; and trying all he could to get her nude. She fought him off as long as she could; scrambling for her phone; which was tossed out of her pocket during the struggle. Not that it would work anyway; stupid Margo had been so caught up in her thoughts about Logan, she forgot to charge it. What was she going to do now? Allow herself to be raped by a two timer? Or find a way out?


Logan paced his room, and called Zoey a few times, asking where Margo was.

"She isn't home yet." He called every five minutes, all the way into midnight. He tried Margo's cellphone, but it was long dead. He figured he'd go out to look for her. He slipped a jacket over his arms and went looking, he asked the coffee guy if he saw a girl with an older guy; and he said he did, they were headed back to her dorm. But that was a lie; Zoey said Margo wasn't back yet. So there was only one other place a horney guy like Jake would take a girl; and it made Logan want to buy a gun..

"You can't run forever!" Jake called at Margo, that might be true, but she sure as hell could try! That was the plan untill something better poped into her head; dodging and avoiding.

"You basturd! You havn't changed at all! You are just a two timeing backstabber!"

"What was your first clue?"

She heard pounding on the door.

"Thank god!" She breathed relieved. She tried to reach his keys; but they were on the end table; and that was dangerously close to where he wanted her. But there was no other alternitive; As she scrambled for the keys; groping around on the table for them, Jake grabbed her shirt; and with his great strength, ripped it in half! It was amazing Logan could stay alive when the two fought before. She kicked his balls; hoping that would distract him for a while, and when it worked; she ran the keys over to the door; praying it was someone there to help her.

"I told you not to touch her!" Logan boomed. His jacket was now around Margo's shoulders; hiding her white bra with the pink rose in the middle. Logan began to beat the shit out of Jake; so much that Margo actually saw blood on his hands. "I swear to god; if there is anything wrong with her, I'll come back and turn you into a woman yourself." He turned to Margo. "Lets leave." He reached subcontiously for her hand and walked with her out of the dorm, leaving Jake to bleed. As they walked; Margo saw a sort of...seriousness in Logan she had never before seen, his face was fixed so sternly, she feared it was her he was angry with; there was fire in his eyes..

Logan slipped his hand around her shoulder as they walked. "Sorry I didn't come sooner. I thought you'd have been back at your dorm before now. Why didn't you answer your cell?"

"It was dead-" She gasped as she stopped. "My cell! I left it in-"

"Calm down. I'll get you a new one." But Margo shook her head.

"They are too expencive!"

"Nah, My dad is rich; It'll be no problem." Logan stopped her; just outside her door. "Don't ever go anywere with him again. Am I understood?"

"Yes." Logan smiled; took her chin between his fingers and kissed her. For a split second; she didn't know what had happend; but before she knew it, he had his arms around her; and they had been kissing for a short while. "OK, I'll see you tomarrow." He waved goodbye to her and left; she was too dazed to really move; it took Nichole; hearing their conversation, and then the long, silent pause, to open the door.

"Margo! come in! Its midnight and you look half-frozen!" She pulled Margo inside; She was still in a slight daze. "And half-naked. What happend?"

"Nothing.." Margo smiled. "I've got to tell my old friends that I'm sorry."

"Why?"

"I broke our promise; I let Logan kiss me." Both girls gasped and giggled.

"Tell us everything!" Zoey orderd. "what was it like? Do you like him? Why are you half-naked?"

"Well, the answer to question one: It was nice. I'd definitly do it again if I had to. Question Two: I dunno. I might. and Three: Jake tried to...and logan came in and beat him to a bloody pulp; and said he'd buy me a new cell."

"You know." Zoey added to the conversation. "He called every five minutes from when you left with Jake, asking if you were back."


"Dude, You truely are, the master." Chase commented. "I figured Margo would never be a girl you'd be able to kiss." Logan smirked; was it that he really cared about Margo? Or was he just putting on a show?

"I for one think the entire plan is stupid." Michael pointed out. "Your going to hurt her like before. Now, she'll have to live with you during the summer and you owe her a new phone!"

"Would you shut up?" Logan asked Michael. "Margo is a strong girl; not really my type."

"Your so selfish." Chase growled. "You find a girl who is amazing; beautiful; strong enough to defend your sorry ass; and worst of all, has gone through pain her entire life; and you just keep adding. You hurt her more than Jake ever could."

"I agree." Michael told Logan. "You might think your god's gift to wemon, but Margo won't like your plan one bit."

"I don't expect her to." Logan barked. "Would you guys just shut up and go to sleep? Its three in the morning for god's sake!"
