Chapter 2: Meetings of Past and Pain

It had been 2 weeks since Axelle had arrived at PCA. She had become really good friends with Logan and his roommate Michael. She was friends with most of the boys at PCA. A lot of the girls (the stuck up ones.) didn't like her because all the guys hung out with her. She didn't have any girl friends yet. She had made the next year's football and surfing teams already. It was Thursday and Axelle was running late. She was running at top speed to her media class. She cut through buildings. Then just as the bell rang she was diving head first into her class. She hit the floor, layed there for a second then looked up slowly at Mr.Bender.

"Ok you made it Ms.Andrews. Now get to your seat please we have a ton to go over." He said as she got up grinning.

"Thanks Mr.Bender." she said taking her seat next to one of her friends, Jared.

"Nice dive. Geez were you that late?" He asked with a smirk.

"Yea I was and it was a beautiful dive wasn't it? Better than you. OOOOOO!" She laughed then turned to pay attention. Mr.Bender's class went relatively fast like the rest of her classes 'til lunch. She found Logan and Michael as usual and went with them to buy their lunches. While they got full blown out lunches, she got a red powerade. They found their table and sat down taking off their backpacks. The boys began to eat and started talking about something that didn't interest Axelle. She folded her arms on the table and layed her head down on them. Normally Logan would have let this go unnoticed but the huge bruise forming on her arm caught his eye.

"What'd you do Ax?" He asked pointing to her arm.

"I dove head first on to the tile floor of my Media class because I was gonna be late." She said without picking up her head or looking at her arm.

"Damn girl that's a huge bruise how hard did you fall?" Michael asked.

"Pretty hard I guess. Gave me a headache and that nasty ass bruise didn't it, but I wasn't late." She said not moving. Jared walked up to their table and sat down next to Axelle with his lunch. He tapped her shoulder.

"You alrite?" He asked.

"Yea." She mumbled in reply still motionless.

"Headache from falling on the floor this morning? Hows you arm?" He asked her smirking at her stupidity of diving onto a hard floor.

"Yea and wipe that damn smirk off your face." She said still not moving except to punch Jared hard in the leg. He grabbed his leg and howled in pain.

"OW! That hurt! Damn it!" He said rubbin his leg where she had hit him.

"Got the smirk off your face." She said. The other 2 boys were laughing hardn ow. Jared settled back down and Axelle went back to her original position. Jared put and arm around her non-chalantly. Her head hurt to much to protest. Logan stopped laughing then noticed Jared's strategicly place arm. This made him jealous and pissed him off, but he pushed those emotions away as best he could. The bell rang for the end of lunch and they all got up to throw away their trash. Axelle threw her almost empty powerade in the garbage and the rest followed. Michael gave her a hug.

"Cya in math girl. Feel betta." He said walking off. Axelle waved good-bye. Logan came up and wrapped his arms around her into a tight hug that almost crushed her. Those were the kind of hugs she got everytime she left him. Then they parted and walked their separate ways. She sat in her chem. class bored out of her brains. Her cellphone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and flipped it open. She read the new text message: 'Hey girl! You wanna come chill at out dorm tonight?' she looked at Logan's number in the sender slot. This meant Chase. She knew she couldn't avoid him forever but she didn'tk now if she was ready to see him. She typed 'idk Logan / ……' and sent it. She was scared about Chase's reaction to her. Her phone vibrated again. She flipped it open and read: 'Come on. It's ok our D.A. dn't care. I'll be there and Michael , possibly our other roommate Chase. Just come back with Michael after your last class.' Axelle rolled her eyes she probably wouldn't get out of this. She started bracing herself for the worst. The rest of her classes were agonizing even her last one with Michael. After the bell rang Michael waited for her as usual.

"You still wanna go to the gym?" Michael asked as she approached him.

"Yea I need to keep up my workout other wise I won't do it at all. The I gotta catch a shower and go back with you." She said as the began walking to the gym. They both changed into their workout clothes. The guys whistled when she walked in as usual.

"Shut up alright and stop staring at my ass." She growled walking to a bench to spot Michael who was laughing. She punched him hard in the leg which silenced him. Their workout lasted an hour then Michael dragged her out and walked her to the girls locker room to make sure she went in and not back into the gym. She went in and showered. She was trying to relieve stress as the water cascaded over her but it wasn't working. She was still worried about seeing Chase. Since it wasn't helping she got out and dressed quickly. She then put her gym clothes and dirty clothes in her gym bag and went out to meet Michael. They left off towards the boys dorm quickly stopping in Butler hall to drop off her gym bag. Then quickly walked over to Bradford hall. They found Logan in the lounge.

"Hey where have you been? You shoulda been her an hour and a half ago!" Logan said a bit angry.

"Logan we workout after class. I wasn't making an exception. I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Axelle said with a little attitude. "So are we doin' this or am I going back to my room?"

"Come on lets go." Logan said more calmly as he led them up the stairs. They reached room 32 and Michael opened the door stepping in.

"Hey Chase." He said throwing his gym bag in the closet.

"Hey Chase. I got someone for you to meet." Logan said stepping in. He pulled her in with him. Chase stood up then Logan moved in attempt to reveal her, but she stayed with him. "Come on Chase is a good kid. Might be a dork but good." He said pulling her from behind him. She faced Chase. His face became red with anger.

"WHAT THE FUCK! HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET HERE YOU LITTLE WHORE? ESCAPE PRISON CAMP? GO BACKE WHERE YOU BELONG BITCH! GET OUTTA MY FACE!" He screamed.

"Chase don't do this now…" She said.

"I'll do whatever the fuck I want! Now get the fuck out!" He yelled. She didn't move. Soon his fist collided with the side of her face. Her nose dripped blood. She turned and punched the wall butl eft quickly. The other 2 boys were in shock. As she ran from the room the snapped out of it.

"Fuck you Chase." Logan sid before running after her.

"What the fuck was that Chase!" Michael yelled/demanded.

Logand chased her all the way outside. "Axelle!" He yelled as he caught up with her. He reached ou and put his hand on her shoulder pulling her back next to him. Blood was streaming from her nose. She wipped at it but it wouldn't stop.

"What was that about?" He asked she was silent as she plugged her nose and leaned foreward. 10 minutes later her nose finally stopped bleeding. "What was that about?" He asked trying to look her in the eye but she avoided looking at him. She didn't know howm uch she should tell him.

"Chase is um…. He's my brother. My fraternal twin brother…"She said looking down. "Him and my father hate me. My father hates Pierce too because he loves me. He always did. Chase did too at one point, but …." She said looking longingly at Bradford Hall. "He just handled it how my father told him to." She said looking back to the ground. He lifted her chin until their eyes met.

"Chase should have never hit you. Come here." He said pulling her to him. He pullied her closed and just held her. She held onto him for dear life. She laid her head against his chest and just listened to his heart beat. Michael came running up.

"Hey girl you aight?" He asked worried.

She pulled back and nodded. Michael hugged her as well. "Damn. I can't believe him! I swear." Michael cused Chase under his breath.

"Yea, he better sleep with his eyes open tonight. 'Cause I'ma do some serious damage. No noe hurts her like that. NO ONE." Logan roared. Axelle backed up.

"No guys. Don't you dare hurt him. This is only a little thing compared to what he could've donw and no one deserves this." She said forcefully. She walked over to the livid form of Logan and ran her fingers up and down his back calming him down. "I just wanna go to bed now guys." She said down cast. She slowly walked away. Her face hurt, but not more than her heart. Why did her brother have to hate her so? She wondered to herself. She got back to her dorm, took 3 asprin and the rest of her meds., finished up all her homework, and climbed into bed and fell asleep from all the medication in her system. She just prayed that Logan and Michael wouldn't hurt Chase. She didn't want that.
