His Family Bought Her

29

I watched the speed of the car increase as we shot down the highway. We got off at a random exit and made many turns.

Logan looked up at the mirror, "Fuck." He said, sounding angry.

At this point I was practically shaking with anxiety. I looked behind us and saw the car getting closer and closer to us. The windshield wasn't as tinted as the sides were and I could kind of make out the people in the car.

"Angelina and Gavin." I said quietly.

"I fucking knew something was off about her." Logan said.

We turned sharply down a dark road, "She seemed off when she told me to have a nice night." I said.

"When did she do that?" He asked.

"When I was in the bathroom earlier."

"Why didn't you say anything?" He asked looking slightly angrier.

"I didn't want to make a big deal out of nothing. She could've had something going on." I said.

"Why would they be following us?" I paused. Logan looked at me like I was stupid, "How would they even know?"

"He probably somehow got to your records. Also you're starting to look," he paused tryin to think of the right thing to say, "pregnant."

"Are you calling me fat?" I said jokingly.

"No. I'd never. But now is not the time to be making jokes." He said taking another sharp corner.

Right as we took the corner, a car looking exactly like the one we were in turned onto the path we'd been taking. I watched as it vanished behind some buildings, Angelina and Gavin following it.

"They kept going." I said to Logan.

"Alright now we can calm down a little." He said.

I started trying to control my breathing. This was not the position I wanted to be in ever. I ran my hands up and down my thighs as a way to try and calm myself down. I learned that it helps back when I was in the basement.

Logan noticed and visibly hesitated but took my hand, "We're okay."

He began drawing circles on my hand with his thumb. I rested my head against the headrest and closed my eyes focusing on the circles Logan was making. Every once and a while I would open my eyes to try and figure out where we were.

He made turns slower than before but still went fast down the straight parts of the road. Eventually we pulled up to a large garage. The door opened and we pulled in.

We parked just inside the door, seeing that there was a lot of people inside.

"You can go upstairs if you want, there's a small apartment up there. I need to talk to these people about some things." He said.

"If I'm going to live with you, I need to be involved and aware of what's being talked about." I said.

Logan smiled a little and then got out. He came over to my side and opened the door for me.

"Are you sure you want to stay? You can go upstairs and sleep if you want, I can fill you in later." He asked.

"No I want to get everything. Not a summary." I said stepping out.

Logan shut the door and we walked over towards the people. I saw Mai in the crowd and waved her over.

"There's going to be a lot of questions about who you are. Not a ton of people know who or why you're here. I'll answer them When I talk." Logan said.
