Chapter Twenty-Two.
"Oh my, my, my.", Claire said when we walked into her hospital room. She gave us a weak smile as her eyes went down to our holding hands and her weak smile grew a little. She still had some gross yellow bruises around her face and her right arm and leg are still in a cast. All that wasn't there was the oxygen tank. But she had this sparkle look in her eyes. "That's nice to see after three and half weeks of sleep.", she said.
Kaden smiled and went up to his mom and hugged her, "Thank god you finally woke up, mom. You were really scaring us.",
"I know, your father been saying that that past twenty minutes.", she said, smiling at Joe, who smiled back at her. His eyes were still a bright up blue and he looked at her so lovingly. He loved her so much.
I gave her a hug, "I missed you so much, Claire. Joe and Kaden has been a real handful to take care of.",
She chuckled as best as she could, "Well thank you for taking care of my boys. They would have been so lost.",
I dedcided to keep that fact that all of them were lost. I gave her a small smile as we all sat down next to the bed. My mood from what just happened ten minutes was a little better, but the guilt and hurt was still there.
I can't get over that Melanie called me a slut. It stung to hear it from her. I really wouldn't have cared if it was someone else, but Melanie my best friend. Best friends don't call other best friends sluts.
And just the way Logan looked at me made me feel so much guilt, it was unbearable. I never wanted to hurt him and I thought I would be able to tell him tonight, but I guess that was ruined. But I guess it was also better this way. I didn't have to tell him and he didn't have to say the words 'we're over'. The way he lift made it clear he didn't even want to talk to me, why would he still want to be with me?
"Doctors says I can go home in two days.", she said, chuckling in relief. 'Thank god. I miss my bed so much.",
"Well I miss you being next to me too.", Joe said. "It's been so depressing sleeping alone.",
She smiled as he took her hand in his, "Well, you wont have to feel that feeling anymore. But I wont say you wont--all of you, wont be taking care of me. That means making me breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Oh! And cleaning the house and-", she cut herself when we all groaned and she chuckled, enjoying this.
Joe told her about how I met a gypsy and how she's going to help. He told what she's going to do and her eyes lit up.
"Oh my God, that's great.", she said. She reached out and touch Joe face, "But thankfully your going to stay the same, Joe. You wouldn't be you if you weren't.",
He placed his hand over hers and smile, "I know.",
I watched them with awe. They were so happy together and I can see real love from them, not because they're Bounders. I couldn't stop myself from entwine my fingers with Kaden and he gave me a light squeeze.
After about almost an hour of talking and grabbing junk food from the hospital cafeteria vending machine and going threw eight cans of soda, visiting hours were over. We all hugged her goodnight and I saw it was hard for Joe wanting to leave her side again.
Kaden and I was in his car in the parking lot of the hospital. I was staring out the window, thinking back to what happen with Melanie.
"Wanna talk about it?", Kaden asked.
I shook my head, "No, not really.", I said, but I guess I do really. I turned and looked at him, "You don't think I'm a slut, right?",
"Of course not, Jesse.", he said. "Melanie was just in shock. Look," he said, leaning over closer to me. "She's going to regret saying all that by tomorrow and you two will be the best of friends again.",
"It still hurts, Kaden.", I told him. "I wouldn't care if it came from someone, but since it was Melanie, I feel so...upset with myself. She hates people who cheat on the ones they're with since her dad cheated on her mom and left them.",
"But you and Logan aren't married, it was just a high school relationship. He'll find someone else. Our relationship is deeper then that.", he said.
"It still hurt someone that cared about me, though.", I told him and I swear, he growled.
"You shouldn't though, you were going to break up with him tonight anyways.", he growled and my eyes opened slightly in shock. "It's ecstatically why I didn't pull away when I smelt him coming.",
My mouth opened slightly as I stared at him, "What?",
He shrugged, "Rather rip the band aid then slowly.", he said and snorted.
"You knew they were coming and you didn't tell me?", I hissed, growing incredibly angry. I got called a slut by my best friend and Logan hates me because of him!
"He shouldn't have just barged into my house like he owned the place.", Kaden said.
"You're a jerk, you know.", I said. I put on my seat beat, crossed my arms over my chest, and glared out straight ahead. "Drive. I want to go to Brent's party and apologize to Logan.",
"Excuse me?", Kaden hissed. "Apologize for what?",
"For cheating on him.", I said simply and he gave me a disbelief laugh, which made me glare him. "Just drive Kaden.",
"No.", he said.
"Drive or I'll get out and walk there.",
He groaned and turned around back in his seat, hitting the steering wheel, "Fine.",

When we pulled up to Kaden friend house and I was about to open the door, he reached forward and stopped me, "Wait. Just remember that what I did doesn't mean the world ended.", he said.
"You didn't listen to me, Kaden.", I told him. "I wanted to tell Logan so he wouldn't hate me. I wanted to talk to him, not let him see it and think I'm a girl who kisses every guy in school.",
"But your not.",
I scowled at him, "Doesn't mean he wont think that. I just need to go talk to him about this and if you don't let me, I might be single by the end of the night. And believe me, I don't mind. I'm not the type of girl who craves for a boyfriend.",
I saw he didn't like what I just said and seriously growled, but he let go of the handle. I quickly got out and made my way towards the house. I can't believe Kaden didn't let me know Logan and Melanie were about to brag into his house. It was weird that they did, but it doesn't matter. He should have still let me know!
He knew I wanted to talk to Logan about this; I wanted to sit down with Logan and explain why it wouldn't work. I wouldn't tell him about Kaden, but, I don't know--that' we're both different.
I walked into the house and I swear, people are idiots when they drink. I made my way threw the crowd, hoping to catch Logan in the kitchen. I kept my eyes out for Melanie also, but I didn't seem her and Logan wasn't in the kitchen.
I made my way back into the living room and I saw Kaden finally came in, but Danny quickly grabbed him. He gave me a apologetic look, but I quickly pulled my head down before I end up going over there and saying I'm sorry for being rude when I have nothing to be sorry about.
I turned around and saw Logan--well, his back. He was leaning against the stair case talking to one of his friends. I made my way forward towards him and his friend saw me and bopped his head up to Logan. Logan turned his head around and I gave him a small smile.
He told his friend something and his friend nodded and left. Logan turned around and I saw a can of beer in his hand.
"Can I talk to you?", I asked. "I'm really sorry Logan.",
He brought the can of beer up to his mouth and took a long sip, "Come on, lets go somewhere where it's more it's more quiet. I can't hear with this music.",
I just nodded and we made our way upstairs. I could feel Logan eyes on my butt as I walked up and my nose scrunched up, but I kept my head forward. God, he must be wasted. I hope I'll be able to talk to him without him passing out.
We walked into a room that seem like it would be a guest room and Logan walked over to the bed, sitting down on it and laid back, "Wanna talk or do something else?", he asked.
"Huh?", I asked, raising an eyebrow.
He propped himself up on his elbow and drunk the rest of his can of beer before crushing it and throw it aside. He sighed heavily, "Nothing. What do you want to talk about, Jesse?',
"About earlier.", she said and his nose scrunched up as he gave her the same look as earlier that made me feel guilty. "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to happen and-",
"And that it shouldn't have happened, but it did. And that what you have with Kaden is much deeper then what we have. I don't need to hear this bullshit, Jesse.", he said, sounding annoyed. He got up from the bed and walked up to me, "Look, I get it. He's 'hotter' then me.", he said, putting air quotes around the word hotter.
"That's not true, Logan. I don't like just because he's hot, but because he's my best friend and we grew up together.", I told him and he didn't look anymore happier then a minute ago.
"So! You don't see me kissing Taylor Hugh and we grew up together!", he said, his voice getting hard.
"Maybe we should do this when your not drunk.", I suggested, turning around to leave. But he grabbed my arm and pushed me against the door, "Logan!", I cried in shock.
"Jesse, just listen to me.", he said, his voice calming down, but I saw the possessive look in his eyes. It wasn't like Kaden, his showed pure anger that I didn't like to see. "Baby, please, don't leave me.", he said. "I love you, isn't that enough?",
"Logan, your drunk.", I said, trying to move his arm, but he only put a strong grip on it, making me wince. "Let go of me!",
"Jesse, please. I'll do anything, I love you. I'll start working out if you like the whole muscular thing. I'll even change my hairstyle if you want!", he said, his voice sounding like he was about to cry. Wow, he's really drunk. To tell you the truth, his breath smelt more then beer. His eyes were red and lazy.
Oh god, he's high!
"Look," he said, his voice turning serious now. "I'll forgive if you do something for me.",
"What?", I asked, just wanting to get out of here right now.
His head dipped like he was about to pass about, but then he quickly blinked and ran his free hand down his face, "I know your virgin, so I wont make you have sex. But get down on your knees.",
"Excuse me?", I hissed, ready to slap him for saying that! I tried to push him away, but he only gripped tighter on my arm, "Ow! Logan, stop!",
"Just do it and I'll forgive you.", he said. "I can forget all about what I saw today and we can pretend it never happened.",
"No!", I said. I pushed at his chest and he only grinned, "Let go of me, Logan! Look, your just drunk and high-",
"I'm not high--okay, maybe I am a little.', he said. "But that doesn't matter, baby. Come on, just do it. It's not as bad as it sound. It's high school, you need to live and stop being such a prude.",
I scuffed and pushed at his chest again, "If you don't' let go of me, I swear-"
He pulled me off the door and slammed me back against it, "What? You'll get your Taylor Lautner wanna-be-look-alike boyfriend to come and beat me up? I'm not scared of that asshole. And why not? Girls like you that kiss other girls shouldn't be a baby about this.",
My anger was rising and I would not be called a slut by him! I was about to slap him, but he grabbed my wrist to my shock and he moved me from the door, dragging me over to the bed. I squirmed around and before I could think, my knee came up to his crotch and slammed right where the sun doesn't shine.
Her took in a sharp deadly intake of breath and let go of me, "Jesus!", he yelled and grabbed his manhood.
Realizing what I did, I ran out of the room and passed Tabby on the way. I ran down the stairs and all I can think about is 'I can't believe I just did that!', it surprised me so much since I never had to use violence before on someone. I turned the corner at the bottom of the stairs then ran into someone hard chest. I didn't have to look up to see who it was.
"Jesse? Are you alright?", Kaden asked me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my forehead on his chest, feeling safe.
"I want to get out of here.", I told him.
"Why?", he asked, his voice getting hard. "What did he do?",
"N-nothing.", I said, but my voice failed to lie.
"Yeah the hell right.", he growled. "He did something from the way your shaking and crying.",
I just realized I was indeed crying. I stopped and wiped under my eyes, "It's nothing. I just want to go home, Kaden.",
He shook his head, his blue eyes filled with this dangerous look, "Not until I find that asshole.", he said, moving around me and quickly ran up the stairs, taking three at a time. I ran behind him, calling him out to stop.
He ran up to the room I was just in and when he ran in, he stopped dead in his track, that I almost ran into his back. I looked at the bed and my eyes widen in shock.
"Ever heard of knocking?", Tabby asked and Logan hands ran down his face as he groaned. How quick is it to get naked and have sex in over a minute? Jeez.
I grabbed Kaden hand and pulled him out of the room, but he quickly lifted his arm up to point at Logan, "Better watch your back, Logan!",
