{ON HOLD} Infinite: A Logan Lerman Fanfic

Chapter 6

Logan's POV

8:18 AM

So that meant it took me only fifteen minutes to reach school? That was a big deal! It was ten minutes faster than my usual speed! Wow, it felt like I had been walking for fifteen centuries... It must have been the thought of seeing Charlotte after last night. I'd stayed up almost all night thinking about that special girl and her kiss on my cheek... This was the first time I spent my sleepless night in pure joy.

I looked around the classroom and saw that she hadn't come yet, so I took my usual seat in the corner and read my new book in silence. After a few minutes or so, I heard a knock on my table. I closed the book to look up and see her beautiful hazel eyes staring into mine.

- Hey there Lottie! How's it going?

- Hey Logan. Listen, the principal told me that he had arranged a meeting with the school's psychologist for me, and I was wondering if you could go with me...You won't have to say anything, I'm sure. I just need you to be there, in case something bad happens...- Her voice started to shake a little. Oh no, please don't cry. Seeing her cry is definitely the worst sight in the world. There should be a law against making Charlotte cry.

- Sure sure, no prob. You know I'll do anything for you...- I was trying my best to stop her tears from falling.

Then we met up with the principle's secretary, and she led us through the hallway. I squeezed Charlotte's hand to make her feel safe, but honestly I was quite terrified myself, too. But I needed to stand strong for my friend.

The secretary held the door open, and we walked in, I after Charlotte. The classroom had only one big desk, sat a young woman, whom I guess was the famed shrink...

And a very angry-looking Pete.

Charlotte's POV

The woman in the room motioned me to sit down in a chair opposite to Pete's. She looked at Logan for a while, then nodded, so he took a seat right next to mine. She was beautiful, probably in her late twenties, dressed in a casual floral blouse and plain trousers. Her red hair was short, slightly touching her shoulder, and her red lips were smiling big, revealing pearly white teeth. The smile was actually calming me down, so I was trying my best to focus and just look at it and avoid Pete's burning stare. Logan seemed to notice my attempt, he rubbed my hand, whispering softly in my ear "It's gonna be alright". That was what I craved for. I needed to survive and go out of this room alive.

While checking some documents and profiles, the shrink frowned a bit, but she soon went back to her smiley state, looked up and introduced herself to us.

- Hi Charlotte, Pete and ...

- Logan, I'm Charlotte's friend. - He understood right away that his name wasn't introduced in her paper. I was terrified when Pete shot Logan a tense look. I started to think I was dragging Logan into danger.

- Logan, very well then. I'm Angela, but you can call me Angie for short. I'm here to listen to all of you. You're among friends and school mates, and nothing could harm you, so don't be scared - She suddenly gave me a sympathetic look - Now, let's begin with Pete. Please tell us what was on your mind right now.

I slightly shivered. My back fell cold and my hand was shaking.

Unexpectedly, Pete softened his usual tone and looked at her so calmly. He sounded more like an A-class student that the monster that beat me up the other day.

- I feel very ashamed of myself. I let my anger overwhelm me, and I terrified this lovely, sweet girl over here. I'm so sorry that I cause pains to her, and my bad behaviours won't happen ever again. I'm willing to take any punishments.
