* A week later* (A/n I don't want to skip too much)
*Quinn's POV*
I woke up for the tenth time that night. I can hardly get some sleep I'm lucky if I sleep at all sometimes. There are days when I have this dream where I'm being chase nonstop by Mark and every time I close my eyes I see his face. I feel like as much as I try to forget that night I can't. He is always hunting my dreams and making them nightmares.
I'm thankful that I didn't end up pregnant. I don't know what I would have done if I was. I mean I know abortion is not an option but would I have been able to keep it? I seriously doubt I could of knowing how it was conceived.
I shook those thoughts away and got off of the bed. I walked down stairs quietly not wanting to wake Logan up. I went through the books that were in the book shelf by the fire place. Note to self: remember to move that shelf. I grabbed the first book that caught my interest and went back up stairs.
I opened the book and started reading it up the stairs. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was walking to, until I bumped into something and fell on the ground.
"Quinn, are you alright?" I heard Logan asked in an alert voice. I looked up and gave him a sheepish smile. He sat next to me and examined my head for any bumps I think.
"Logan I'm fine." I assured him and stood up only to get dizzy and fell, though this time I didn't hit the floor. Logan caught me before I hit the floor.
"Uh huh sure you're fine." He said mockingly and picked me up bridal style and carried me to my room. He placed me down gently on the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed. "So why are you up so late?"
"I was about to ask you that!" I whined and he smirked. "Well anyway I couldn't sleep so I went downstairs to grab a book. You?"
"I had to go to the bathroom. This reminds me." He said and ran out of the door. I laughed and opened the book again. After a few minutes I heard foots steps again and I put the book down.
"So why can't you sleep?" He asked. I debated if I should tell him or not. I don't know how he'd react.
"Well basically I have nightmares almost every time I close my eyes." I said honestly avoiding looking him in the eyes.
"Oh…man I wish I could beat the crap out of that guy…" He said so low I think I wasn't supposed to hear. I smiled to myself though. I didn't know he cared that much.
"So tell me more about you." I said and he gave me a confused look.
"What do you want to know?"
"Anything about you." I replied shyly.
"How about we play twenty questions?" He suggested and I nodded. "You first."
"Ok" I thought about what to ask him. "What's the most embarrassing thing you have done?" He groaned and I laughed.
"I should have known you would ask that." He paused and thought about it. "Well this one time I ran outside screaming and everyone was looking at me weird that when I realized I was in my boxers." I tried to hold back my laughter because I saw how embarrassed he was.
"If I asked you why did you do that, wound it count as a question?" I asked and he smirked. He nodded. Should I? Yeah I definitely should. "Ok then why did you?"
"I was hoping you wouldn't ask that but ok." He paused. "I did it because it was Halloween and you know Carlos the butler dressed up like an evil clown but I didn't know. I was watching this scary movie that "coincidently" was about this clown that kills people. I was so into it and then Carlos pops out of nowhere holding a knife. So me being stupid got scared and ran out of the house screaming like crazy." I burst out laughing but calmed down a bit after two minutes passed.
"Yeah laugh its funny once I look back at it." He said but I think he was just trying to keep his cool image.
"Sorry it's just that I never thought you would be scared of clowns." He gave me a confused look. "Because you're always like nothing can scare me, at school it kind of hard to believe."
"Oh I guess so…" He sounded unsure. I wanted to ask if why he sounded unsure but let it go for now.
"Ok enough about me." He started but paused. "What do you like to do apart from anything that has to do with school?" I thought about it but I don't know what to say. I haven't really done anything apart from school because my parents' mom in particular didn't let me do anything that was fun.
*Logan's POV*
I waited for her to respond but she didn't. She just stared into thin air thinking. Did she do anything fun? Or should I say they didn't let her have fun? Because I'm sure she would have loved to do some fun things in her life anyone would.
"I didn't really do any fun things that I can recall so…" She trailed off. I gave her a reassuring smile.
"Hey no worries." I replied. Note to self: take her somewhere fun. After that awkward moment we got passed it like that. I started knowing things about her that I never would have thought. She like to play sports who would had thought that the smart chick would like sports. Well that never crossed my mind at all. Or that she was afraid of clowns whom I suspect she only said because she wanted me to feel less embarrassed.
I checked the time and notice it was two am and that Quinn would fall asleep any minute now. I sighed and got up.
"Logan?" She asked and grabbed my hand. I turned around and faced her.
"Yeah Quinn?" She looked down. I sat back down on the bed and lifted her head. "Quinn you can tell me."
"I… know it's just that I'm… kind of embarrassed to… ask you..." She said and her cheeks turned a light shade of pink.
"Just ask me I'm sure it's not that embarrassing…" I assured her. She gave me a small smile and took a deep breath.
"Well can you….like stay here until I fall asleep because I don't want to have nightmares and knowing you're here I might actually be able to sleep….but its ok is you don't want I know it stupid of me to ask." She rambled and I laughed. She looked up confused.
"Quinn I'll stay but just promise me one thing?"
"What?"
"That you will trust me." I answered her and she smiled.
"Logan I trust you… I really do."
"Ok…" I said unsure if she meant it or not. I reached over and turned off the lamp that was by Quinn's bed and laid down next to her on the bed. She hesitantly laid down next to me.
"Thanks for staying."
"No need to thank just go to sleep it's late." She nodded I think and I felt her head on my shoulder. Her breathing was even after a few minutes. She must have been sleepy.
I tried to get up but I couldn't because she had a strong grip on my shirt. I gave up trying because I feared that I might end up waking her up and I really don't want to ruin what might be the only time she is sleeping peacefully.
I really want to beat that jerk up for hurting her so much that she can't even sleep. I'm sure she hasn't done anything to deserve this and I'll make sure she stops being scared. That she'll be the Quinn that nothing could bother her.
I kind of understand why she doubts that I actually. Would you believe I changed after ditching her in high school just so that I could be popular? I really doubt it. I always cared about her as a friend I just didn't show it because I didn't want to ruin my rep but now I could care less.
I think I started to change to the guy I used to be, that day that I got mad at her for making me look stupid because when I looked at her in the eyes that day I saw fear in her eyes. Like if she thought I would hit her as mad as I might be I would never hurt a girl like that. I'm not cruel like that. Or maybe it was that day I gave her a ride so that she wouldn't get soaked and end up getting sick. I saw that her cheek was red and I was sure that she didn't hurt herself.
After those days I just started caring more and more about what happens to her. I know it sound weird that I changed so dramatically but let's just say that the guy I used to be was buried deep very deep inside of me and that he just put of nowhere came out and I can't bury him back. Don't get me wrong I don't want to bury him back I was just saying.
I looked down at Quinn and smiled at I saw that she was sound asleep with a smile on her face. She definitely needs to smile more.
I yawned and soon sleep overcame me. I fell in a deep dreamless sleep.
Soo what did you think? Good? Bad? Ok?
