「 FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY 」

34 | Lily

I passed my mirror on the way out of my room and I realized I looked like shit,

I had a large bandage wrapped around my upper arm which wasn't covered because of the white singlet top and black shorts I wore. I had dark circles under my eyes from the lack of sleep and my overall appearance didn't look all that appealing.

But right now I didn't really care.

I unlocked the door and it immediately came flying open,

Logan barged in, crashing his lips onto mine and my bad mood had vanished when I nearly melted in his arms from his touch.

It took me a few seconds to process what was happening before I kissed him back, his lips was soft but the kiss was rough and I could tell he needed this as much as I did, I could feel his worry for me melt away as did the anxiety that built up in my chest.

"Kasey! Logan's trying to eat Lexie's face off!" Beth's voice yelled from behind Logan and we immediately pulled apart,

"Get a room!" Valentino called from behind us and Logan flipped him off as I buried my head into the crook of Logan's neck, my cheeks were hot with embarrassment.

Beth came charging in with Gracie in her arms and as soon as Gracie saw me she left out of Beth's hands and ran to my feet and purring as he walked around my ankles lovingly.

"Are you okay?" Logan whispered into my ear, sending shivers run down my spine,

"Now that you're here," I replied.

Kasey, Will, Valentino, Grayson and Ethan came piling into the living room and plopping down onto he couches while Beth ran around the kitchen chasing Gracie who didn't look too happy about it.

Logan ran his thumb around the dark circles under my eyes and frowned, his other hand held my upper arm, and the same place that was bandaged up and I winced.

He noticed this and looked down at my arm, finally noticing it, then he checked all over my body for anymore visible damage and I could feel his temper rise.

"What the fuck happened?" he asked me impatiently, "Why didn't you tell me about this"

"I didn't want you to worry" I replied quietly,

Now I had caught everyone's attention as they took in my appearance,

"It's really not that bad, you should see the other guys" I tried to brush it off, laughing awkwardly,

"What happened?" Logan asked sternly and his tone told me he wasn't messing around anymore.

"We went to that place I told you about and we broke in but we were ambushed and-"

"Is everyone okay?" Will asked worriedly,

"Everyone's okay, just a few injuries but we'll live"

"Where is everyone?" Kasey asked,

"Chase, Mia and I went home, the rest of them left to the nearest hospital",

Silence overcame the room like a thick blanket,

"But you're okay?" Logan asked again and I nodded in response.

Hand in hand, Logan and I sat on a couch next to everyone else,

"So where'd you go?" Ethan asked,

"This warehouse place where we traced a call too" I told him, pulling out my phone and showing them a picture of the location.

When I did I surveyed their expressions and they all remained blank except Logan's who looked dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?" I asked him and his grip on my hand tightened,
