His Family Bought Her

21

After three days of many trips to the bathroom, I decided something had to be wrong so I picked myself up off the floor and went to go find Logan. Slowly but surely I made my way out of the bathroom and down the hall.

"Cris, where are you going?" Maile asked from behind me.

"Logan. Where is he?" I said turning around slowly.

"I think he might be in the gym." she said. I just stared at her, "oh right, follow me."

Maile led me down the rest of the hallway, down the stairs, and to the back of the house. She then took me out onto the patio and we followed a path towards the woods.

I must say, the path is gorgeous. The stone path was surrounded by large, beautiful pine trees and lined with small orange flowers. Looking up you could see the bright blue sky.

"In there." Maile said pointing to the large tan shed at the end of the path. She then turned around and started back towards the house.

I continued on the path watching my feet as I walked. Left, Right, Left, Right, until I finally made it to the door. I opened the door and stepped in. Looking around I saw no one, "damn it Mai." I said under my breath.

"Logan." I said with a raised voice.

"Cris?" Logan asked popping his head around the corner.

"Hi." I said with a small smile.

"Hey, what are you doing out here? Feeling better?" He asked. He was in only sweatpants and had placed a towel around his neck.

"Actually that's what I came here to talk about. I still feel crappy and I was wondering if I could get checked out." I said looking around the room for a chair.

"I actually had an appointment made for you. It's at 12." He said.

I found a chair in the corner and went to grab it when Logan stopped me, "Wait, I'll get it. You stay here."

He brought the chair over and I sat down, "Thank you. I just feel like something is off this time."

"Understandable. I just thought I'd make an appointment in case it got worse." He said. I nodded.

"So about the other night, what happened?" He asked.

"I honestly have no clue. I've never flipped out on someone like that." I said pulling my knees into my chest.

"I don't like that behavior from anyone, especially directed at me." He said sternly.

"I'm sorry." I said resting my forehead on my knees.

"Mi fai impazzire completamente." He said with a sigh, "I know but it doesn't fly with me. Do you know how angry you made me? How absolutely pissed I was chasing after you?"

(You drive me completely crazy.)

I pushed my head against my knees harder hiding the tears in my eyes.

"Anche se ero assolutamente arrabbiato, l'unica costa che avevo in mente era di tenerti al sicuro. Sai almento quante persone ti stanno cercando?" He said softly then angrily towards the end.

(Even though I was absolutely angry, the only thing on my mind was to keep you safe. Do you even know how many people are looking for you?)

"I'm sorry." I stood up from my chair with tears on my cheeks and left the shed. I followed the path back to the house and sat on the patio for a while watching the sky.
