Chapter Twenty Eight - "I Have The Sudden Urge To Slap You..."
___

Avery's P.O.V

"I can't believe tomorrow is the day we are going to that water theme park that recently opened! It's going to be so much fun." Claire says and I nod. I notice Patrick walking over and he takes a seat next to Claire, kissing her on the cheek.

"Oh I just remembered something and since the two of you are the people I need to talk to, you can't run away otherwise I will hunt you down." I say, flashing the two my nicest smile. Patrick and Claire share a look at nod before looking back at me.

"What is it?" Patrick asks and I sigh, twirling a strand of my brown hair around my finger.

"Do you remember two weeks ago when we were at Jennifer's party and Patrick came up to you, Claire, and told that dude to get lost?" I ask and Claire nods.

"And do you remember when you said that you would tell me something that night but never did?" I ask and nod Claire sighs, nodding.

"I'm sorry Avery, I have been caught in so much stuff with school and my parents and-"

"Your boyfriend?" I help her and Claire nods.

"I'm sorry." Claire says and I shrug.

"I'm cool with this relationship but I want you to fill me in." I say and Claire nods.

"Okay so remember when Patrick came up to me and confessed about all that shit about him and Katie?" Claire asks and I nod. "Yeah, well, a few days after that, I told him about my feelings for him and he admitted that he felt the same and bang, we are now together." Claire says, giving Patrick a small kiss in the cheek.

"Does Logan know about this?"

"Know about what?" Logan asks, taking a seat next to me. I look at the couple in front of me to see that their faces changed into horror. I look at Logan and pat his shoulder.

"Nothing." I say and Logan narrows his eyes at me.

"No, no, tell me." Logan says and I shake my head.

"It doesn't involve you." I say and Logan raises his eyebrow.

"Well it obviously does if my name is being mentioned-"

"Claire and I are dating." Patrick cuts through Logan's sentence and Logan looks at his cousin, his eyebrow still raised.

"Come again?"

"Us," Patrick says, pointing at him and Claire. "We are dating, you know, in a relationship." Patrick says, biting his lip.

Am I missing something here?

Logan groans and stands up, leaving the cafeteria. I frown at what just happened but Patrick avoids my eyes, looking at the floor. I look at Claire to see her narrowing her eyes at her boyfriend.

"I'll be back." I say and stand up, running out of the cafeteria and catch up to Logan who is walking towards his bike. I tap his shoulder but he ignores me, placing his helmet on his head.

"Logan, what the fuck?" I ask, narrowing my eyes as he gets on his bike, starting the engine. He speeds out of the parking lot and down the road. I groan and walk to my car.

What the hell is up his ass?

"Open the door!" I scream, banging on the door as hard as I can but no one opens the front door. I groan and kick it.

"Logan, I know your on the other side of this door, I can hear your breathing." I say, annoyed at the fact Logan just decides to leave and speed to his house without even explaining what just happened before.

I knock on the door one more time and wait for a few seconds. I sigh and roll my eyes.

"Fine, be that way." I say before turning around and walking towards my car.

"Wait, Avery." I hear Logan say and I turn around to see him standing at the door, his large frame standing straight. I grit my teeth and walk towards him.

"I have the sudden urge to slap you for acting like such a child but since I am giving you one chance, I won't." I say and push past Logan, walking into his house. Logan closes the door and walks up the stairs. I follow him.

"Ah, the room where you take all your hoes..." I say, rolling my eyes as we enter his bedroom.

"Avery, be quiet." Logan says in a tired tone before laying on his bed. I narrow my eyes at him and he pats the space next to him.

"Come lay down." He says and I place a hand on my hip.

"I'm not doing that until you tell me why you stormed out of the cafeteria." I say and Logan sighs, closing his eyes.

"I'll only tell you if you come lay down." Logan says and I groan, walking to the bed and laying down in the space next to him. Logan wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me towards him, my back facing him.

"Remember when you were talking with Patrick in Elena's room and how I said for him to never go near you again?" Logan asks and I nod.

"Well, that was only because he manipulates girls. He acts all sweet and nice at first but later on, he will make you do things that you shouldn't be doing. He drugs girls then makes them turn into prostitutes for money." Logan says and I roll over so that I am now facing him.

"It doesn't make sense." I say and Logan narrows his eyes at me in confusion.

"What do you mean?" He asks and I sigh.

"That night when Patrick and I were in Elena's room, he had asked me if I was your girlfriend and I said no and he said good. He explained to me that if we were dating, it wouldn't end so pleasantly or something like that and thats when you came in." I say and Logan groans.

"Mother fucker." Logan says and I raise my eyebrow at him.

"Can I get an explanation to that or no?" I ask and Logan nods.

"He just means that if we were dating, I would break your heart in the end because I don't do relationships, according to him."

"Have you been in a relationship?" I ask and Logan shrugs.

"Yeah but that was until she cheated on me and then left the country with her boyfriend." Logan says and I furrow my brows.

"Who were they?" I ask.

"Patrick and some girl named Holly." Logan says and I gap at him. Logan nods.

"Is it true that Patrick moved here because of his parents and how much they work or whatever?" I ask and Logan shrugs.

"Some of it. Patrick's parents are busy but that's not the reason why he came here. He moved back here because since his parents are busy, they won't know about Patrick's plans while he is here. His mates that help him with his dirty scheme, supply him the drugs and Patrick brings the girls to the warehouse where a whole lot of girls are kept and from there, Patrick sells the girls to men who either want sex, a slave or an entertainer." Logan explains and I raise my eyebrow in question. Logan nods and I shake my head.

"What a dirty fuck." I say and Logan nods.

"Exactly, that's why I reacted back then because of what he does to girls." Logan says and I gasp.

"Claire! What about Claire?" I ask and Logan sighs.

"We can't tell her, at least not yet. We have to tell her tomorrow because Patrick won't come to the theme park. He has to catch up with the guys that I was talking about a second ago." Logan says and I sigh, nodding. Logan hugs me and kisses my forehead.

"Avery, I won't let you lose another friend, I promise." Logan says and I nod, closing my eyes as I feel myself drifting off to sleep.
