"Brought you something." Gabe's voice rang, making Harvest turn back and see him walking toward her with a coffee cup in hand, "Look, I even made sure they got your name right this time."

Harvest looked at her name written on the side of cup, "Aw, thank you. What is it?"

She didn't wait for him to answer, sipping it before he spoke, "Pumpkin and vanilla."

Harvest spit her drink out, splattering it all over Logan in the process. Gabes eyes widened, "Is it bad?"

"Allergic to pumpkin." Harvest shook her head, taking Kinsey's water.

"Oh my god, i'm so sorry. I didn't know." Gabe sat down by her side, rubbing her back quickly.

Harvest shook her head, "It's all right, you didn't know."

"Do you not remember halloween? Carving pumpkins and her entire face swelled up?" Logan spoke up with a raise of his eyebrows, "So we had to wrap her in saran wrap for the rest of the night?"

"He wasn't there that night." Kinsey spoke up as she recalled the evening.

"That was after I ran his feet over trying to drive. He couldn't leave the dorms." Harvest hummed, remembering running him over, "Well, looks like you got even after I nearly killed you."

Gabe cracked a small grin at her joke.

"Scot, this opening museum scene is awesome." Zadie smiled as she looked down at what they had footage of so far, "Very Corman-esque."

"Seriously, sequels are tough, and this has the potential to be more Aliens less Greace 2." Abby nodded his way, looking up from the phone.

"I like to pretend Grease 2 just doesn't exist." Harvest nodded her head.

"I agreed." Logan agreed with her.

"Excuse me, Grease 2 is a masterpiece." Dough gave the trio a look of disbelief.

"See? And you thought you'd lost your mojo." Kinsey grinned Scot's way.

Scot smiled, "Thanks, guys. Thank you."

"Where's the rest?" Gabe spoke up, eyes turning his way.

"Ah, it's coming." Scot nodded.

"Wait. This is it? You've been writing this for weeks." Abby gave a look of disbelief.

"Writers block is real and it's painful, Scots doing good." Harvest defended the boy, being a writer herself she understood.

"I know. Uh, I had a little bit of a creative existential crisis to contend with, but don't fret. I promise. It's all up here. I just gotta get it down in here." Scot pointed to his head and then down to his laptop.

"Okay. Well, maybe can we get an outline?" Zadie rose her eyebrows, "That way, if you're gone, we have something to work with."

"No, there's no need. I promise I can do this." Scot shook his head quickly in hopes of easing the panic.

"No, she's right." Gabe spoke up immediately after, "I mean, whoever is gonna fill in for you is gonna need it."

"That would just take longer when he could be writing." Logan defended Scot.

Gabe ignored Logan as he looked toward Zadie, "I'm assuming that's you, right? You have been running this whole thing."

"I'm not up for consideration?" Dough gave a offended look.

"I literally wrote an entire book." Harvest defended herself quickly.

"What about the directing part, though? Hello, the quiz I took this morning specifically said December Sagittarius's should work in film." Logan gave a point of his finger quickly, blue eyes getting wider as he spoke.

"Whoa! Hold on!" Scot called over everyone chatter, getting their attention, "You're acting like i've already left! I'm still here, and i'm still the director."

Gabe scoffed, "Dude, if you get into Rochester, which i'm sure you will, you don't want to leave us hanging, do you?"

"Yeah." Zadie agreed.

Kinsey hesitated, "It might actually be a good idea to discuss other scenarios. Just in case."

"Right, so i'm being cut out of my own film, am I?" Scot asked in disbelief.

"No! Scot, you're just trying to keep one foot in the movie while the other ones already in England." Gabe huffed quickly with a raise of his eyebrows, "You're being a little- you're being a little selfish."

"Okay but can you blame him? He's the entire reason the movie started in the first place. It's pretty much his baby." Logan rolled his eyes Gabes way.

"Dude, he can fight his own battles." Gabe gave Logan a look of disbelief, "So can everyone else."

Logan charged at Gabe, stoping before him.

"Logan, what the hell?" Zadie asked in disbelief as they all stared. Harvest crawled off the ground with a crazy look his way.

"What are you doing?" Gabe rose his hands and backed up.

"I don't know." Logan panicked, looking down at his body, "It felt like something-"

He cut himself off by shoved Gabe back harshly.

"Logan, woah, take it down." Harvest gave him a crazy look, slapping his arm.

"Yo, chill out." Gabe spoke quickly his way. Logan yanked away from the group, aggressively getting into Gabes face, "Can we just- relax!"

"I don't know what's going on!" Logan yelled, panic spreading across his face.

"Let's just all take a breather and regroup next p-" Harvest began, her sentence falling dry when Logan sent a hard, forceful punch into Gabes face.

"Oh my god, stop!" Kinsey yelled as Logan tackled Gabe to the ground.

"What the hell?" Harvest called, grabbing the blonde boys shoulder with the help of Kinsey and yanking him up, "What has gotten into you?"

She didn't give him a chance to answer, leaning down next to Gabe, who was holding his eye.

"I didn't do it! I didn't do anything! It wasn't me!" Logan tried to explain with wide, terrified eyes.

"Hey! Let's go. Outta here." Mr Bennett came around the corner quickly as he motioned for Logan to come with him.

"I didn't do that, I swear." Logan spoke down to Gabe as he was dragged out.

"Jesus, are you okay?" Harvest helped Gabe up, taking his hand off his already swelling up face, "I should bring you to the nurse."

"We should go see him. Make sure he's not strangling Mr.Bennett." Dough spoke up.

"Okay, i'll stay." Harvest nodded as they walked off, Harvest staying back with Gabe, "Let me see it."

"I'm fine, I swear." Gabe said, letting her take his face in her hands and examine his eye, "So, what's my diagnosis?"

Harvest smiled softly, "Maybe a chill day with some movies?"

"You'll be there?" Gabe asked, feeling proud to get what he wanted. Drive Harvest away from Logan, bring a Locke back into his clutches.

"Yeah, let me just talk to Kinsey real quick." Harvest nodded, hurrying off to ask her sister if she'd had the music box and if there was any chance someone had it. Gabe made his quick escape toward the nearest empty classroom.

Logan sat in the principles office, his leg bouncing as he frowned. He tried to think of an answer to what the hell just happened. Was he that angry that he had no control over himself? He was never a believer in physical abuse, not after experiencing it himself in his early foster homes before his dads adopted him. No, there was no way. This has been too different, be felt like he was completely out of control, like someone was pulling his puppet strings.

"Logan." the voice took his by surprise. The last person he expected to show up was his dad, considering he hadn't been able to get ahold of him for nearly a week now, "What is going through your mind?"

Logan stood up immediately, "Where have you been! I've been worried, where's Dad?"

"Still in Boston with your grandmother." Ross said as he stared at his son, "You are in no place to lecture me right now. Not when you just got a week of detention. You're lucky there wasn't a suspension."

Logan looked down at the way he rose his voice. Logan was a pretty good kid, he rarely got in trouble. The worst that ever happened was when Harvest wrecked his truck and his dads got mad at him for letting the "pretty Locke girl" get in his head to drive it, "I'm sorry."

"You should be sorry, let's go." Ross said, already walking ahead. Logan adjusted his sweater around his neck, grabbing his bag before his phone gave a buzz. With a huff, the blue eyes boy fished it out of his pocket. Logan's heart nearly stopped as he stared at the message.

Dad: Logan, we're so sorry, sweetheart. Our bags were taken at the airport, security just found it for us. We're on our way home now, I love you.

Logan breathed heavy as he looked up, seeing his so called father walking out of the school, definitely not stuck in the airport. Logan hit Harvest's name quickly.

Logan: Taking route 6 to go home. Please stop the car. I think i'm about to be killed.
