I have exams at the moment and I'm unsure how updates are going to go with any of my books but yeah, I'll try my best for you guys.

STAR'S POV

Don't hit her, don't hit her, she's just trying to help so don't hit her.

It's all I can think about as Logan grabs my ankle.

"No, no just leave it" I yell, slapping her hand away from my ankle

"Can you just calm down and stop being a baby?" She asks and I glare at her

"I'm not being a baby" I defend

"Oh really"

"Yes really. Fine do it" I say and she rolls her eyes before wrapping her hand around my ankle again and causing me to flinch

"No, I change my mind. I'm going to be a baby" I say slapping her hand away again from my leg and its her turn to glare.

"You know that hurts right?" She asks

"Sorry" I mumble and she sighs

"Can you please just relax and let me help you? Or would you rather just sit in a tub full of soapy water with your toe stuck in the tap hole for the rest of the day?" She asks with a brow raised

"It is better than you yanking my toe out though. It hurts" I mumble

"Does your ankle hurt or something?" She asks and I nod

"I fell earlier. It feels sore" I say, shifting in the tub with a sigh

"So that's why it hurts when I touch it. Why didn't you just say so? I was about to rip your head off from how frustrating this was getting" she says

"Seriously?"

"Seriously" she says flicking my forehead

"Hey!"

"Shh, this is payment for my time"  she says and I say nothing, just pouting to myself

"How did this even happen? How do you get your toe stuck in a tap?" She asks and honestly I don't know the answer to that.

I was deep in thoughts one minute and the next minute, my toe is stuck in the tap and I can't get it out.

I didn't even realize when I even took it in there in the first place.

First I fall off my bed in the morning,then I fall in the bathroom and hurt my ankle and now my toe is stuck in the tap.

Talk about a terrible morning.

"I don't know, it just happened" I say and she chuckles

"How you can act and look cute right now is amusing" she says and she doesn't let me react to her statement as she speaks again  "So how are we going to do this now? Take out your toe without making you slap my arm till it falls out" she asks and I shrug

"I don't know. I guess a distraction would be great but there's not really any" I sigh, really dreading her pulling my toe out of the hole

"A distraction might work. You're right Starriett" she says and I frown

"What did you call me?"

"Starriett"

"Why would you call me that? You know I don't like that" I say, slapping her arm lightly

"Isn't it your name though? Starriett Kingsley" she says and I'm too upset to notice her arm wrap gently around my feet

"Logan!"

"What? Starriett. That's your name, it's not like I'm calling you something else" she says and I scoff in disbelief

"Star. It's just Star, why would you say the whole thing? It's so...not pretty" I say

"Well I think it is"

"It really isn't. It's just Star. Star, not Starriett" I insist "Do you understand me Logan? Do you...fuck!" I trail off with a sharp gasp as she pulls my feet down, my toe coming out of the tap

"Look at my little angel cussing, how cute" she says with a small chuckle as she stands up from where she she was squatted

"That hurt!"

"But I got it done" she says and I realise she actually did

"Wait, when did you even grab my...oh" I trail off with a realization "Starriett was the distraction, wasn't it?"

"You're welcome" she says, giving a small bow and I chuckle

"Thanks" I say and she nods "But seriously, never call me that" I say and she chuckles

"I'll try"

"I'm serious, don't!"

"I'll think about it. For now, let's get you dressed and to a doctor to check your ankle. Hopefully it's not broken" she says, dipping her hand in the tub and pulling the drain

"Hey, I'm naked in here" I say

"Really? I thought you'd have been wearing a bunch of sweaters in there" she says and I frown

She just has to be sarcastic all the time, doesn't she?

"I could have been though" I mumble

"Yeah okay. Do you want help out of here or not" she asks and I sigh

"I do"

"Good so shut up and let me help" she says before grabbing the shower head

"Can we buy ice cream on our way back from the hospital?" I ask as she turns the shower on, warm water now coming out of it as she hands it to me

"No"

"Aw, why not?"

"Cause I said no"

"Fine, let's play rock, paper scissors for it. If I win, we get ice cream and if you win, we don't get ice cream"

-

"Thanks for the ice cream" I smile as she helps me into the house and she scoffs

"You must be having fun" she says

"I can't say I'm not" I tease as she helps me to the couch, making sure I'm sat comfortably before keeping my injured foot on a stool so it's elevated.

Doctor's advice

"You literally removed your cast some days ago and now I have one" I laugh as she settles down next to me on the couch

"Very funny" she says and I slap her thigh

"Stop being so grumpy" I say

"Okay mother" she says, laying her head on my shoulder

"Are you tired?" I ask

"I am" she says

"Sorry"

She did stay with me all through the time at the hospital and took good care of me minus her momentary mean comments.

"It's alright"

"Get some rest" I say just as she adjusts her head on my shoulder, getting comfortable

"Okay" she mumbles sleepily and I can't help the smile on my lips

She sounds so cute and sweet when she's tired.

Like a little child.

I get to see so many sides of her all the time.

The many sides of Logan Donahue.

Hey, that would make a good book!
