Chapter 17 - Life isn't a Game

Logan's POV

"Logan, stop eating that it's disgusting" Georgia says to me, after watching me stuff my face full of the worst junk food imaginable, all mushed together in one large bowl.

"What I'm hungry and I stress eat. Besides how many times have I seen you stuff your face with junk food after some guy dumps you or you're stuck in that vicious after a one night stand... and yes I do know you're not a virgin Georgia. Anyone can tell by the way you walk around the school with those countless number of guys trailing behind you physically and mentally.

"Okay fine, now shut up and stop eating that, you're going to get fat" she replies with a major look of disgust on her face.

"I am not. I have a..." I start before she gives me a look that says 'you've got to be kidding me' "Okay so maybe I don't but I'll just go to the gym later or something. Maybe. Probably not. Maybe once we find April. Oh stuff it, I'm not going to the gym until April is safe and sound in my arms."

"I know what you mean it's getting hard for us to" she says.

As I was about to say the door burst open and Jace came storming straight towards me.

"Where the hell is my little sister, douche. Where the hell is April?" Jace shouts at me.

"Jace calm the fuck down, please" Georgia says trying to calm him down with some of the pizza that was left in front of us.

It's being three hours since Jace showed up yet he still keeps staring at me like, I had something to do with April's kidnapping. I have told him again and again that I had nothing to do with it but he won't listen to me.

"Would you please stop staring at me" I asked him again for the fifth time in ten minutes.

"Oh I'm sorry, am I making you feel, uncomfortable" he says mocking me so that I feel, less empowered.

"Don't talk to me like a child! The amount of people, when I moved away that treated me like a child was insane and the thought of someone going back to that..." I start before Georgia and Ben walked back into the room.

"Cassie's disappeared. She hasn't called in over a week and it's getting worse as the days go on" Ben says.

"What is that supposed to mean" I shout at him.

"Usually she would call after at the very max 24 hours" Jace says, knowing full well what Cassie's history with late nights and drunk mornings with random guys was like.

"So what, the hell does that mean. I...I have no idea what you're on about so can somebody please explain to me, what the hell is going on."

"Oh, shit sorry. Argh... Cassie is mentally insane. She should be in a mental asylum but Ben can't put her in an institution" Georgia starts before Ben cuts her off.

"What can I say, I'm a protective older brother and that's also the reason to why Cassie sleeps around so much, is because she a) feels like she has some power over me and b) because she can let go and forget about her condition" Ben finishes, as he slowly moves to sit down on the couch beside me.

April's POV

*3 days later*

The lights were off and the pitch black. Well obviously because there were no lights on but also because all the skylights and windows were covered over with a cloth or piece of cardboard.

I hadn't seen Cassie or Sophie for what feels like weeks but I know it would probably at the very least a day or so since I last saw them. Someone has being coming in and making sure I eat and drink but I don't know who it is. I guess it would be one of Cassie's many boy toys.
