Hidden Bruises [Completed]

[chapter twenty two]

Logan left for work and I was at her house alone. I was in the kitchen making something to eat when I heard someone knock on the door, which I was hesitant cause I didn't know who it could be.

Kendall hasn't messaged me any, so it wasn't her and Avery doesn't know where I'm staying at.

As I walked out of the kitchen, I walked through the living room and to the front door. I slowly unlocked it then started opening the door slowly, just to peek out before fully opening to door.

That's when I quickly shut the door but they were holding onto it, pushing it. I started panicking as I pushed the door back as hard as I could, trying to get it to lock but I couldn't.

"Stop!" I screamed as I tried pushing it back but the door flew open and I quickly turned around but was grabbed from behind and slung to the ground. "Stop!"

Sandra hovered over me before grabbing ahold of my shirt, pulling me up but I was fighting her. I saw Jackson walk in as well and they both grabbed my arms, pulling me out the door as I was kicking and screaming.

"Help!" I screamed, hoping the neighbors would here. "Please help!" I screamed.

I kept kicking them but they weren't letting go. I was being pulled to the car and I started panicking even more as I was kicking, screaming and doing everything to get away.

"Stop! Stop!" I kept screaming.

"Carson!? Carson!" I was shaken awake then gasped as I saw Logan sitting next to me, holding my shoulder.

I clinged to her and started crying as I held onto her as tightly as I could. She held onto me, rubbing my back as I was sobbing on her shoulder.

"Shh. It's ok." She said. "I'm here."

I held onto her neck, crying my eyes out until I felt her lift up. I didn't let go as she was pulling me up and I wrapped my legs around her waist as she was now standing.

Looking up from her shoulder, I saw that she was carrying me out of the room. We went through the hall and to her room as she was holding me tightly, not letting me slip.

She laid me on the bed and I saw her move the blanket back before climbing in the bed as well. I watch as she turns over and looks at me before pulling me towards her, holding me tightly against her.

"It's ok." She whispered as she kissed my head. "It's going to be ok."

I held onto her until I eventually fell asleep.

When I wok up, I was a little confused and I felt myself wrapped into Logan's arms. I rubbed my eyes then tried adjusting to the darkness as I laid there for a moment.

I reached over and felt Logan's face then slightly smiled as I caressed her cheek for a moment until I heard her start waking up then she grabbed my wrist and I saw her move in the dark.

She turned the light on and I watch as she turns back over towards me. "Carson? What's wrong?"

"Nothing." I said as she stared at me. "I just woke up." I stretched. "What time is it?" I yawned.

"Six."

I groaned. "I have to get ready for classes. I go in at eight."

She reached over and held my cheek. "Are you ok?"

Looking at her, I nod. "Yeah."

She searched my eyes for a moment before slightly smiling. "Ok."

Without hesitation, I moved closer to her before snuggling my head against her chest. I felt her arms wrap around me, holding me tightly as we laid there for a moment until I pulled back. "Thank you."
