"What the hell are you still doing here" I heard someone slur, I only grunted trying to fall back to sleep. My eyes shot open as I was kicked in the stomach, "Get your lazy ass up now!" my father exclaimed making me flinch. I got up as fast as possible, which apparently wasn't fast enough for him because he turned and punched me in my stomach. "Dad" I exclaimed he gave me a sick smirk before saying "get up before you late for school" he smiled then added "make sure you come home right after school, I have a surprise for you". I ran up the stairs after nodding to him, it wasn't until I got to my room that I let the tears welling in my eyes fall.
I quickly made my way to the bathroom and cleaned myself up before noticing how badly bruised I was. I had a black eye, spit lip and a bruised cheek. I went back to my room and got dressed finally looking at the clock, I was already late for school. I ran to school because the bus took too long. I entered the class and everyone was paired up with someone "how nice of you to finally join us" Mr. Griffin stated. "go sit with your partner" he continued, only then did I notice the blonde boy sitting all alone. I sat next to Kendall muttering a quiet "hi" and I was met with a "hey" before he added "are you okay?" hesitantly. Something about Kendall made me want to break down and cry in his strong arms, have him tell me I'm safe now that he will protect me but I could be wrong he could always turn away and never look back. I barely know this boy yet I want to trust him with something I've never told anyone. He'd probably laugh at me call me weak maybe even punch me a little bit you know just for fun.
He looked like a jock, are kinds don't mix well jocks are supposed to beat nerds up not be friends with them and they most definitely don't fall in love with them. Whoa, hold on Logan who said anything about love? You've only know this guy a day and your already talking about love? Wow I'm clingy! "Logan?" Kendall said breaking me out of my thoughts. "Yea?" I responded, "are you okay?" He asked again. Just lie I thought immediately lie was always my first thought, "Yea, I'm fine, it's just from some stupid bully. So what are supposed to be doing?" I asked realizing Mr. Griffin had stopped talking. "We're picking a war to do a history paper on" Kendall simply stated. I nodded "what war?" I asked him, I knew about them all oh the perks of having no friends. "How about civil?" Kendall asked shyly I only nodded; he looked so cute when he acted shy. "Do you want to come to my house after school?" he asked shyly again, he needs to stop or love will come in to play. "Ugh, I can't family things you know... stupid parent ha" I awkwardly chuckled before turning towards my desk and pulling out a paper. when I turned back to him I noticed the weird yet hurt look on his face, think Logan think..."But I can come over tomorrow?" he nodded his eyes brightening, "sounds good" he said happily making me wonder just who is Kendall knight?
The bell rung before we could even begin working, we stood and collected our belongings well we were walking out I uttered "I'll text you later" before smiling and heading to class. Second, third and fourth period were very uneventful except me staring at Kendall in fourth. I walked into the lunch room and decided against eating when I saw the slop they were trying to pass of as food; I turned around and walked to the library. I found an open couch and pulled out my notebook, I began writing and about five minutes passed before someone tapped my shoulder. I look up into emerald eyes, "Are you ever not writing?" I heard an angelic voice questioned. I thought for a second before saying "Huh I don't know" well shrugging me shoulder, he chuckled, and aww even his chuckling is adorable. STOP IT! I yelled to myself mentally. "Logan?" he asked damn it I lose myself in my thoughts to much! "Yea?" "I asked if you were ever going to tell me what you write" at this point I realized he was sitting next to me on the couch. "Maybe" I said hesitantly. "so what's the family thing your blowing me off for?" he questioned... damn it don't panic again "My dad and I" I started then paused not knowing what to say "are going shopping" I uttered totally embarrassed that that was all I could think of. He looked confused but still nodded. "What are" he was cut off by the bell I quickly got up and took off to my class luckily I didn't have 5th period with Kendall, maybe he'd forget by 6th? I doubt it.
I was too busy to notice the brunette I was about to run into. "Shit" I exclaimed when his elbow came into my bruised stomach as we fell. "I'm so sorry" I mumbled trying to help him up, once we were both standing I realized how much he towered over me less than Kendall but more than my dad. The fear started to creep up my throat. "Dude, calm down, I'm fine, are you okay?" he asked surprising me "yes I'm fine "I said with a slight smile the fear slowly leaving. "I'm James" the tall brunette said well sticking out his hand, I shook his hand well saying "Logan" "I've seen you around with Kendall knight right?" I nodded "he a cool guy, one of my best buds" James said before breaking out into a giant grin. The bell rung signaling we were late, "gotta go" we said at the same time then chuckled slightly.5th period went by quickly, 6th 7th and 8th I noticed Kendall staring at me strangely. As soon as the bell rung I practically ran from the school to stay away from Kendall.
I felt bad lying to Kendall but I couldn't tell him the truth. I walked into the house closing the door quietly trying not to alert my dad. I wanted to just try and have a snack before he attacked me. "Logan" I heard him yell and I groaned inwardly, "Yes?" I called out wondering what he wanted. "I made you lunch" I shuffled over to the fridge; I opened it and saw a simple ham sandwich and glass of lemonade. Thank you" I yelled out not wanting him to get angry, I ate it not wanting to get myself into any more trouble than I would already be in. I winced when I heard heavy footsteps coming down the stairs. He walked into the kitchen a sadistic smirk gracing his face. "Thank you dad" his smirk got wider when I said that, maybe I shouldn't have eaten that... My dad came closer and started to kiss my neck as my vision started to blur "Did you like your lemonade? I made it myself" I heard him whisper in my ear, I shivered no not the good shiver that's filled with pleasure, this shiver was filled with fear and disgust. Let's go upstairs I heard my dad say before picking me up and carrying me I couldn't even protest something bad was happening. I remember making it up to the third step, before everything going black...
I woke up three hours later to an empty house my head throbbing and freezing looked down and realized I was naked and laying in my dad's bed. Shit he did it again; I should have never trusted him making me food. It's been so long since he's last drugged me, that I forgot his tricks. I tried to sit up and only then did I realize the other part of my body that was in pain. I slowly stood up and examined my body and surroundings. My clothes were torn up and thrown throughout the room in no orderly fashion. I walked out of the room and crossed the hall, to find some close in my roomie looked through my dresser for baggy pajamas. My dad always calls me a slut when I wear tight close, he also shows me how sluts are treated, I shivered at the memory of that dreaded night I heard the door slam and a bottle hitting the floor as I finished pulling on my shirt, being glad I was already clothed I don't need a repeat of whatever happened well I was "out". "Logan you better be in bed or you'll regret it" I heard my dad yelled before I heard heavy footsteps. I turned my lights off before running and getting into my bed and pretending to be asleep. I heard my door being opened and my dad looked in, muttered something under his breath before closing the door. I cried myself to sleep just like every other night.
Yeah, I could really use the protector…
