Chapter Seven - "I'll Break Your Neck."
___

Avery's P.O.V

"Hello sexy." The guy greets and I look between the guy and Lucas, confusion flooding my head.

"You just punched him..." I mumble, looking at Lucas who is touching his nose that is bleeding. Lucas gets up and glares at the guy.

"Stay away from my girlfriend, yeah?" The guy threatens and I can't help but frown.

Girlfriend? I don't even know this guy.

Before I say a word, Lucas laughs dryly. "You honestly think that I would believe that your her boyfriend?" Lucas shouts and I bite my lip as I watch the two shout at each other over the music. Lucas grabs his phone out of his pocket and presses his phone to his ear.

"Dude, come meet me at the club down town. Your girl is here with some dude who claims to be her boyfriend." Lucas says and after a few seconds of silence, Lucas hangs up the phone and puts it back in his pocket.

The guy grabs my hand and pulls me away from the dance floor and I find myself frowning when I see Lucas follow behind me. When we get outside, I notice a group of boys who Lucas goes to and the boys look at me as they scan me up and down.

What the hell is going on?

"Who the hell are you?" One of the guys ask and the guy that had punched Lucas a minute ago looks at the dude who steps forward.

"The name's Andrew." Andrew says, his hand still holding mine. I look at the guy who is glaring at Andrew and guess that he is around his early thirties while the other guys in the circle behind him look around their mid twenties.

"I need you to take your hands off the girl." The guy says and Andrew laughs.

"And why should I?" Andrew asks and the guy walks up to Andrew and pulls out a gun which makes me let out a scream.

"What the fuck, dude?" Andrew spits as he let's go of my hand. I run over to Lucas and hold onto his arm.

Suddenly, a familiar car pulls up beside the road and I watch as a guy steps out.

Logan.

I find myself running towards Logan and hugging him, the tears that have been threatening to fall finally make their way down my cheeks and Logan runs his hair through my hair.

"Hey sunshine." Logan greets and I hold onto his hand, totally confused and scared. Logan rubs his thumb against my hand as he looks at the group of guys.

"Hey goofballs." Logan says and all the guys grin, waving at him like they aren't doing anything bad. I start to close my eyes a when I remember something that Ebony had told me ages ago when we were in lock down.

"Honestly, just because this dude is a bad boy does not mean he has to act like an idiot and try to save the world." I mumble and Ebony chuckles quietly.

"True but Logan's right about what he said. He does know the people who are making us sit under tables that have five year old gum on them." Ebony shivers in digust and I sink lower to the ground to avoid the gum touching my hair.

"Are the people dangerous?" I ask and Ebony shrugs.

"Logan hangs out with plenty of people. Some dangerous and some who just like to muck around and no doubt that the group outside is the goofballs." Ebony says and I crack a smile.

"The goofballs?" I ask and Ebony nods.

"Thats what Logan calls them since they are the ones usually doing the pranks and all." Ebony says and I nod.

These group of guys including Lucas are the ones that Ebony was talking about? They look like fucking bad asses!

"Dean, put the gun away. Avery shouldn't see that." Logan tells the guy who is pointing the gun at Andrew. Dean does as he is told and Logan makes his way over to Andrew.

"I would recommend not touching this girl again, okay? If I find you anywhere near her again, I'll break your neck." Logan says and Andrew smirks.

"You wouldn't." Andrew says, alcohol hitting my face as he looks down at me. I bite my lip and try to focus on something other than everything going on right now.

River.

An image of her pops into my head and I can't help but smile. Her brown fluffy hair is bouncing up and down as she runs towards me and her chocolate brown eyes are shining with happiness.

"Get the fuck out of my sight, now!" Logan growls, making me snap back into reality. I breathe in a sharp breath as the guy turns back around and walks into the club. Logan turns around and faces the guys.

"Thanks for telling me, Lucas. I don't know what would've happened if one of Patrick's guys got a hold of Avery here." Logan says and my eyes widen.

Patrick?

Suddenly, I feel my body shut down as I feel myself falling into someone's arms.

"Avery? Avery?" Logan asks, tapping my cheek but I can't do or say anything as I feel my eyes slip shut and I pass out.

"Your awake." I hear a voice say and I open my eyes and I immediately groan when I feel my head start to pound.

"My head." I mumble, placing my hand on my head. I let myself roll onto the ground with a soft thud as I fall onto some pillows and I hear a familiar voice laugh.

"I knew that was going to happen." Logan says and I rest my head on the pillow, trying to block out the pain but I can't seem to do anything to help my head. I look up at Logan who is grinning down at me as he sits on the edge of the bed.

"What are you doing just sitting there? Get me water and some tablets." I snap and Logan chuckles, making his way to the bathroom beside me. I instantly look around the room, feeling my eyes go wide and my stomach drop.

I'm in Logan's room.

All the memories of every single thing that happened between Logan and I with we were in his room came into my head, making my headache much worse.

"Hurry up, please!" I cry out and Logan walks back in and crouches down beside me, handing me two tablets and a bottle of water. I take the tablets and before I go to place them in my mouth, Logan grabs my hand.

"Remember what happened last time when you took the tablets without water? I suggest you drink it with water this time." Logan smiles and I roll my eyes, quickly turning the cap and sipping the water down with the two tablets. I let out a sigh and rub my head.

"Do you remember anything from the past two hours?" Logan asks and I frown at him.

"No... why?" I ask and Logan sighs, sitting beside me.

"You were at a club and you talked with Lucas-"

"And a guy punched him." I say, my memory coming back now. Logan nods and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear.

"If Lucas didn't call me, you would've been taken to Patrick, you know." Logan says and I groan, running my hands down my face.

"I hate him so much." I say and Logan nods.

"Everyone does." Logan says and I sigh, letting out a yawn.

"Whats the time?" I ask and Logan looks at the clock above the television and looks back at me.

"Two o'clock." He replies and I gasp, jumping up but instantly falling back down when I feel my headache strike again.

Stupid tequila.

"Oh yeah, you might want to reply to the thousand messages your mother has sent you." Logan says, handing me my phone and I look at it, my eyes widening.

I'm so stupid. I should've been home by twelve and here I am sitting in my ex boyfriend's room with a bitch of a hangover.

Lucky me, right?

I don't think so.

"I'm so dead." I mutter, reading all the messages from my mom. Some were saying how she is worried about me and some is saying that River has woken up and is crying for me. Ugh, my life.

"Do you want me to drive you home?" Logan asks and I sigh, placing my phone on the floor. Usually, I would still be drunk now, especially if I drank more than ten shots of tequila but somehow, my body seems to be working a lot better ever since I had River.

And let me just say, I never thought I would experience that much pain in my entire life.

"Yeah." I mumble and Logan stands up, offering me a hand which I take. I stand up and follow Logan out of his room and down the stairs. Suddenly, a face pops out of nowhere and my eyes widen.

"S-Sarah?" I ask and Sarah grins, walking towards me. She pulls me into a hug and smiles.

"I never thought I would see you in my house ever again." Sarah says and I shoot Logan a 'help me' look. If I wasn't having a major headache right now, I wouldn't have a problem with the situation I am in right now but honestly, all I want to do is sleep in my bed.

"Mom, I have to take Avery home." Logan speaks up and Sarah let's go of me and sighs. Before I walk past her though, Sarah grabs my hand and quickly drags me back to her.

"I can't wait to see you two all lovey dovey again and trust me, that day will come." Sarah winks and I send her a weak smile before turning around and following Logan out the door.

To be honest, I didn't know if I wanted that day to come or not. It's like some days, I want us to be together but other days I just want him to leave and exit my life forever.

Wait, please don't tell me I am feeling things for the bad boy again...

No, it's just the alcohol, my brain says and I nod.

Of course it is.

I honestly don't know why I wrote this chapter but I felt like it had to be added so yeah. I know nothing happens but what can I do? Everything happens for a reason though, right? Hmm, maybe this is a little but of a warning for Avery... who knows?

PLEASE vote and comment your thoughts.
