I sneered at the sight of the reason for my broken nose. She just stood in the doorway with her arms crossed, a smirk on her lips.

Logan began to step forward, "You stay away from my girlfriend or else-"

I grabbed his arm and pulled him back. "Logan, stay out of this."

I looked up at him with pleading eyes and he got the message. He stepped backwards and I stepped up in his place.

"What are you doing here, Megan?" I asked.

She stepped into the room and looked at me. "I just came to see how you were doing. I heard about the nose."

"From who?"

"From your brother. I stopped by your house to see how you were doing but he said you came here."

I crossed my arms, "Why did you wanna how I was doing?"

She smiled, "Because. You're my friend and I care about you."

I became furious. "If you were really my friend, then you wouldn't have done this." I said while pointing to my nose.

She put on a sympathetic face, "I know. And I'm really sorry. I don't know what came over."

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe jealousy, anger, insanity?"

Her face began to turn to anger again. "Look, I know what I did wasn't right, but we've been through so much together and you know that."

I looked down at my shoes, "I know. It just hurts to know that we've been through so much together and you'd just turn on me like that."

She smiled again, "So, what do you say? Is it water under the bridge?"

I thought for a moment, then remembered all the hell Megan put me through in high school. Sure, I always forgave her, but that was because I was afraid. She was one of the most popular girls in school. If I made one bad move, she would've ruined my life.

So, that's why I stayed her friend.

I looked back into her fake eyes and put my arms down.

"No. It's not water under the bridge. You put me through so much shit in my life that I cried nearly every night after I came home from school. You thought you were helping me by trying to make me popular? You made my life a living hell! Well, look whose life is hell now. Not mine."

I looked back at Logan and saw him smirking slightly. I smiled and turned back to Megan.

"You know, moving to California was probably the best choice I've ever made. Becoming a nurse in a Los Angeles hospital was also a good choice. You know why? Because I met people who love me for who I am and not for a fake that I was trying to be. And, I met him." I said while pointing to Logan.

Megan tried to look for words, but I stopped her. "You threw away something great whenever you threw that punch. And now, you're losing it forever."

And with that being said, I walked past her and out of the hospital room and straight outside. I felt tears of happiness and sorrow welling up in my eyes.

I didn't stop walking. I kept going until I came across the school's football field. I sat on the bleachers and buried my face in my hands.

The hot tears felt good on my face compared to the cold, Ohio breeze. I tried to sniffle, but my nose wouldn't respond.

I just huffed and stuff my hands into the pockets in my jacket.

Behind me, I heard slow footsteps. I didn't bother turning around because I already knew who was there.

The dark haired man came up the steps and sat down beside me before wrapping his arms around me.

"I'm proud of you." He said.

"Why?" I asked.

I looked up at him and he smiled. "You stood up for yourself. You told her how it was going to be and you didn't back down."

I smiled as he wiped away my remaining tears. I tried to sniffle again, but an awkward noise was made instead.

Logan's eyebrows furrowed, "What was that?"

"Me trying to suck in my snot."

Logan laughed, "Ewww, babe. That's gross."

I laughed too, "I know. But I can't help it."

He kissed my forehead and I relaxed in his arms. "I'm ready to go home."

"But, you are home." He said confused.

I shook my head, "No. My family might be here, but my home is with Rex in L.A. That's where all my true friends are, and my job. And my lover."

"Your lover? What's his name?"

I laughed, "I have nooo clue. Maybe it starts with an L."

He placed his finger on his chin and thought about it. "Lex Luthor?"

I smacked his chest and ran down the steps while laughing.

I could hear Logan bounding down the stairs after me. "Come back! Tell me his name!"

My sides were hurting from the running and laughing. I began to slow down, so Logan ended up catching me and twirling around and screaming.

I laughed and begged him to put me down.

"Not until you tell me his name!" He shouted.

I tried to say his name through my chuckles, "Lo...ogaann..."

He shouted again, "What? I can't hear you!"

I caught my breath and screamed, "Logan!"

"I still can't hear you!" He said.

"Logan Philip Henderson!" I shouted.

He finally put me down and I stared into his deep, brown eyes. We both began to lean in and I felt the static as our lips met.

I smiled into the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck. I never wanted to let him go.

But sadly, we parted and he smiled. "That's what I wanted to hear."

"I know." I replied.

We let go of each other and began to walk back to my parents' house hand in hand. The wind didn't feel as cold anymore and my nose didn't hurt.

But as soon as we walked in the door, I got pills shoved into my mouth.

"What the heck?" I asked a bit ticked off.

"You ran off from the hospital so quickly that the doctor couldn't give you the medicine. So, there it is."

I cocked my eyebrow, "Okay, but you could've given me some warning first!"

My mother handed me a bottle of water and I swallowed the pills along with a gulp of water. Logan chuckled at me before I shot him a death glare.

My father and brother entered the room and I immediately pounced on my brother.

"What the hell were you thinking when you told Megan where I was?" I said while twisting his arm behind his back.

"Ouch! I'm sorry! I, ouch! I didn't know she would actually go to the hospital!"

I smacked him on the head. "You idiot! She came to my room and tried to give me a fake apology."

My mother gasped, "I didn't see her there!"

Logan came up behind me, "She probably bolted right after we left the room. She couldn't take the embarrassment."

"Sounds about right." My dad put in.

I crossed my arms, "Well, I told her off. It felt pretty good."

My dad put his hand on my shoulder and smiled, "That's my girl! Takes after her old man!"

I chuckled, "I know, I do. But anyways, Logan and I are leaving in the morning."

My mom frowned, "Aww, so soon? But you just got here!"

"Yeah, I know. But Logan and I both have to get back to work. We'll be back soon though."

Logan smiled in agreement and slipped his arm around my waist.

"Okay, well, how about we make this a family night?" My dad suggested.

We all nodded in agreement and headed to the living room. We spent the rest of the night playing board games, talking, eating, laughing and watching movies as a family.

During the night, I had turned over in the bed and looked at Logan. His face showed pure happiness. This made me smile as well.

He got along so well with my parents. I just hoped and prayed that there would be a next time when we could come to Ohio as something more than just boyfriend and girlfriend.

Oh, who am I kidding? We haven't even said 'I love you' yet.
