Hidden Bruises [Completed]

[chapter eighteen]

"Carson?"

I woke up to someone shaking me gently and when I opened my eyes, I saw Logan looking down at me. She was smiling as she was standing in her uniform and I stretched before sitting up.

Rubbing my eyes, I look around as I was in the living room then saw her looking at me. "What time is it?"

"Midnight."

"I must have fell asleep on the couch while watching tv."

She smiles as I sat there trying to adjust to waking up. "I can see that. Why don't you go to the bed?"

"I'm hungry."

I heard her slightly laugh and I look up at her. "You didn't eat?"

"No. I mean.. I ate snacks that you had. I'm sorry."

"Don't." She smiles. "I told you that you can have whatever you want. Do you want me to make you something? I'm going to fix something to eat for myself."

Stretching, I look at her. "If you don't mind."

I saw her smile and I slightly smiled. "I don't mind at all. Come on." I got up then followed her to the kitchen. "What do you want?" She looks through the fridge then glances at me. "Eggs. Sandwich stuff. Bacon. Cereal." She looks over at the cabinets. "I have tuna, canned foods. Whatever you want."

Shrugging, I look at her. "It doesn't matter. Eggs will be fine."

She smiles then nods before grabbing the eggs and taking them out of the fridge. She placed them on the counter before grabbing the butter and setting it next to them.

"Which do you prefer? Scrambled?" She looks at me as I nod then she smiles.

I watch as she was walking around, looking for everything and she grabbed a pan, placing it on the stove. I look around before walking to the table and sitting down.

After I sat down, I look over at Logan as she was cooking then I contined to look around the kitchen. I started hearing the eggs frying on the stove then felt my stomach start rumbling as I stood u.

I walked to the stove then stood near the counter before watching her cook. She cracked the eggs in before adding sat and pepper, stirring it around the pan.

She looks over at me and smiles before looking back at the stove. "Watching me?"

My face become hot as I look away, focusing on something else. "Sorry."

She chuckles before looking over at me. "It's ok, Carson. I don't mind you watching."

"Sorry." I slightly chuckle. "Sandra used to get upset when I would stand next to her and watch her cook."

Logan looks at me before looking back at her pan. "Well.. you don't have to worry about that anymore, Carson." She slightly smiles at me. "You want to grab a plate?"

She told me where the plates were and I grabbed two before grabbing some forks. I sat them near the stove, watching her poured the scrambled eggs onto the plate before doing the other one as I held it near.

After she was done, I walked to the table and sat down before looking over and seeing her walk over. She sat across from me then smiled at me. "Do you always eat this late?" I ask.

"Sometimes. Only when I work til midnight. I pack a lunch but I forgot to today."

"I'm sorry." I say which makes her look at me. "If I was the reason to make you forget."

She makes a face then slightly smiles. "Carson, it wasn't your fault. I tend to forget when I'm constantly working anyways so it's hard to remember."
