What do you call a one night stand that is continuous over the course of two or more weeks? Oh that's right.

An Affair. And that's exactly what Jessa and I had after that one night. I started to feel not so bad after the first couple of times I rammed her into the headboard. But all of the guilt came rushing back as I opened my door. I looked down at Telly sharing all the mixed emotions she felt. Confusion. Anger. Heartbreak. Sorrow. And regret. She side stepped me and welcomed herself in. "Are you okay?"

"No I'm not okay." She pulled her hair from her scalp tugging hard. I could see right through her. She was in too deep and he did something to hurt her. Now she's experiencing all types of emotions.

"Did he hurt you?" I grabbed her by the arms pulling her close to me. "What did he do?" I pressed her with questions and she shook her head.

"He didn't do anything. It's what he's not doing." She hiccuped and sobbed in my chest. I wanted to find the son of a bitch. My blood boiled as I grew angry. Her boyfriend needed to be taught a lesson.

She looked up at me with such tears in her beautiful blue eyes. Remie's words echoed in my head. "You terrify her Logan." Was that really the truth? That I terrify her beyond belief. If that's true, she had some serious courage to come here and cry to me.

She had all the choices in the world. Remie. Jase. Maybe Jessa. But she came to me. I guess I should feel lucky that she trusts me enough to know that I won't hurt her. But there was no ignoring that little pang of fear visible in her eyes. "Tell me what happened." I asked her gently with her still in my arms.

"Remie had obviously told you that I stayed down in California for a while." She started and swallowed her nervousness. "And I liked being there with him. Because every time we're together, his friends are there too and he always ignores me. I have no problem with him hanging out with them but he should still leave some time for me." Her crying picked up and I wiped the tears away with my thumb.

I nodded urging her to continue the story. I wanted desperately to crack the mother fucker's skull open for making Telly cry. She was too fragile. Too loving to make her feel so isolated over something as stupid as friends. "But he won't listen to how I feel. And we got into an argument. And the next day he left Cali with Ridley. So I went to go see Shai."

"Woah. Wait. You went to see Shai. Telly are you out of your goddamn mind?"

"No. I just didn't know who else to see. Anyway I went to see her and she took me to a frat party. Bad idea. Really bad idea. I honestly don't remember anything that happened. So someone called Mason to come save me. It's not like I needed it though." She rolled he eyes. I smiled because she was still stubborn. "So we got back to the penthouse and we started arguing again. He was mad because I drank myself to sleep but I had a reason to escape reality."

I nodded knowing she was leaving details out. I totally agreed with her. She has a lot on her plate right now. She had plenty of reasons to be stupid and get wasted. "Yeah. You had plenty of reasons. I understand."

"Mason just isn't the same." She shook her head ridding of whatever went on. "Fame is changing him Logan. I don't know what to do. It's all my fault." She rested her hands over her face and started crying again.

"Hey. It's not your fault."

"Yes it is Logan. I'm the one that urged him to pursue his dream. I'm the one that got him signed to a record label. I'm the one that even gave him the idea of fame. It's all my fault."
