「 FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY 」

51 | Okay

She was sleeping. She looked so peaceful. I didn't want to disturb her. I leant down and gave a small kiss on her forehead, I was just really glad she was okay.

Everything was finally okay.

"Has she woken up yet?" I asked, Beth's bed dipping slightly as I took a seat on it since I could barely stand up.

They were all packed in the small hospital room and right in the middle of them was a uncomfortable looking chair, in that uncomfortable looking chair sat Logan. Dark circles ran under his eyes, his hair was messy and his clothes were wrinkled, but there she sat with his head thrown back. He was sleeping like a baby.

I sighed softly at the sight, he looked so freaking adorable.

"We should let him rest," I said and everyone nodded except Valentino,

"Nah" he said, walking over to Logan and abruptly punching his shoulder. Hard.

Logan woke up with a jolt as he sat up straight surveying his surroundings, his eyes landed on Valentino who gave him and innocent smile while we all snickered silently.

"You mother fu-" Logan stood up in his chair and grabbed Val by the collar,

"Okay- let's not do this here" Kasey said while walking in the middle of them, she cleared her throat and then nodded her head in my direction.

Logan's head snapped towards me and his eyes widened considerably.

In an instant he had left Val's collar and enveloped me in a hug as gently as he could, I hugged him back. I missed his touch.

"Let's give these two love birds a room shall we?" Dylan said, sending a wink my way. Everyone left the room; the last person was Noah who grunted before leaving. I snorted a little at that. That's my brother.

As soon as everyone left, Logan kissed me. Sparks erupted on my lips as he kissed me. When he pulled away he was smiling and somehow I found myself smiling with him.

Then his smile fell.

"I'm sorry for everything, I'm sorry for everything my dad did to you and not fighting harder to protect you I should've never-" I cut him off by kissing him again.

"Shut the hell up, honey" I whispered against his lips,

"Honey?" he smirked at me and I rolled my eyes.

The nickname kind of grew on me.

"Let's sit down," he said and I nodded as he helped me over to the wheelchair and pulled the hospital chair beside it.

"Are you okay?" I asked seriously and he looked at me bewildered,

"There you go again, asking stupid questions. I should be asking if you're okay-"

"Are you okay?" I asked again and he sighed,

"No" he admitted and I held his hand in mine, "I did just find out my dad killed my mom while she was still recovering from lung cancer",

I squeezed his hand.

"And he is dead now",

My eyes immediately darted to the floor, guilt flood through me like waves and I was drowning in it.

"I'm sorry," I say quietly, letting go of his hand, "I'm so sorry- I-I"

Then he retook my hand in his.

"Don't be" he said firmly, "If you hadn't... shot him then he would've killed you and I know who'd I'd prefer to be next to me right now- after everything that he's done. And besides, he'd be dead to me if he wasn't dead already".

I nodded slowly,

"Alexandra?"

"Yes?"

"What you did... I want you to know it's okay"

I stayed silent.

"I know what you're thinking- you think you're a murderer, but you're not okay? It was self-defense. If you didn't shoot him-"

I didn't reply.

"I don't think I could handle losing you".

I looked up to see his eyes, which were drowning in pools of tears and I quickly reached up to wipe them away, Logan took my hands that were outstretched and kissed the top of them. It might take me a while to accept, but I knew Logan would be right there next to me to help me through it.

Then he pulled me closer and kissed me, our lips moulded against each other and for the first time in a while I felt at peace.

"So everything is finally okay?" I asked once we pulled apart,

There was shuffling outside the window of the hospital and our eyes snapped towards it. There, peeking through the windows was Megan, Noah, Mia, Dylan, Kyle, Liam, Chase, Hayley, Ethan, Grayson, Vicky, Will, Valentino and Kasey. When we saw they looking through the blinds they quickly left as if they weren't even there in the first place.

Logan chuckled heartily before he turned back to me, "Yeah, everything is finally okay".
