21.

Logan woke me up the next morning, "Hey." I stated stretching out my arms. We talked a bit and he eventually went downstairs to make us some breakfast, I sat at the end of the bed and thought, nothing specific, I just was there.

I didn't want to leave things off like that with Emerson but after I kicked the shit out of her I don't think she wants to see me for a while. I guess reality was really hitting me, we used to be the perfect family on fifth avenue, a beautiful house, wealthy, gorgeous family.

I always thought we were lucky until I became unlucky, first my leg, then getting played and cheated on, Hans death, my Dads death, getting kicked the shit out of everyday, most would still see me as lucky for all the opportunities, but they don't see the hidden truth.

I got up and shuffled over to the bathroom and shut the door, I stood in front of the mirror looking into my eyes. I had lost myself, when I used to look I saw me, the hardworking, passionate Vivian but now I see nothing.

I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair and changed into clothes for the airport. I walked down the stairs to find Logan and his parents eating breakfast. "Good morning Vivian." His dad stated. "Hi." I replied walking over and sitting in the empty chair.

I always felt welcomed with his family, "I heard about your Minnesota opportunity, how's that?" His mom asked. "It's alright, will look great for college but the varsity guys aren't the treat." I replied to his mom. His dad looked up from the paper, "What do you mean?" He asked.

"Well let's say I was there target during practice, basically a human dummy, I have a few scars from how bad it was some days." Logan looked at me concerned, so did his parents. "But I'm okay!" I replied and they stopped holding their breaths.

"Is that from hockey as well?" His mom asked pointing at my eye. I was confused, "You have a black eye hon." She replied. "Oh I didn't even realize." Logan looked at me concerned once again. "What happened?" His Dad asked.

"Probably from Emerson, me and her got into it last night, it was rough. She must've hit me at one point, I didn't realize though." They all finished their breakfast, "We have to work, I already called the school and told them you were sick." His mom was all dressed and so was his dad.

"I'll see you some time when you come back Price!" His dad stated while walking out of the house, his mother following right behind him. "My parents love you, I hope you know that." Logan was washing the dishes, "Really what makes you say that?" I sarcastically replied.

He rolled his eyes at me, "Are you okay?" He asked motioning towards my eye. "Yeah I'm fine, the only things that really ever hurt are these." I lifted up the side of my shirt to reveal the array of bruises scattered everywhere. "Oh my-" I nodded my head, don't get varsity angry.

I fixed my shirt once again, "Oh someone named Ted Orion called this morning asking for you." It caught me off guard, "What?" "Yeah he said he's got important news and to call him back." I ran to the nearest phone and dialed his number.

"Hello?" His wife picked up. "Hi Mrs. Orion, is Coach there?" I asked. "Yes, how are you Vivian?" I sighed, "Been better, been worse. Can you put Orion on?" She handed the phone off to him, "Hello?" "Hey Coach, you called earlier?" I heard him take a deep breath.

"Luis called me, your mom and Emerson are trying to take you out of Eden." My heart broke, "What?" I hung up the phone before he could reply. "Logan Im gonna go to my house real quick and come back." I began putting my skates on. "Wait what?!" Before I could say anything I had shut the door and was skating down the road.

I had never gone this fast in my life but this was urgent, I have 2 things for me there Orion, and my team, ducks fly together no duck is left astray. I was in my neighborhood quicker then ever. I made it to my house and I quickly took off my skates and bolted into my house.
