Stinging Tears of Smrinoff

I had took the short cut home going through the field I heard shouting coming from a house nearby.

I slowly approached as I had to pass it to get to my house.As I got closer Logan's house came Into view. I could make out his voice as being the voice I had heard which was shouting. "Get the fuck out of my house Grace, don't act like you've always been there for me because you fucking left me with them you selfish bitch." He screamed.I've never seen him angry as I got closer I tell could he was drunk as he had a bottle of Smirnoff in one hand.

"Look Logan I was only 18 at the time I couldn't have brought you with me. you have to understand that but instead you just drink till you pass out... You know what it's fine continue in their footsteps seeming as I 'don't care about my little brother'." tears where streaming down this girls face. "Fuck you Logan." she shouted as she stormed off into her car and sped away. Logan had ran into the house leaving the door wide open.

My gut told me I should follow him.

I ran into the house after him closing the door behind him I then heard a steady pattern of banging

Bang...Bang...Bang...Bang

I jogged towards the sound where they were coming from. I saw Logan banging his head against the wall.

'Logan!" I shouted he went to do it again but I ran up behind him and pulled him back so he wouldn't reach the wall.

He lay on the ground still trying to avoid eye contact with me. I knelt down beside him.

He began to cry as he sat up. "She's right you know." he began. " I'm gonna grow up to be raging a alcoholic just like mommy and daddy." He turned to look at me. "I don't wanna be like them Flo, I-I wanna have children who don't have to grow up like I did. being neglected for 11 years as my sister left home to live in another state while I went from foster home to foster home."

His head snapped down as more tears came pouring out." Nobody deserves that life."

I knelt forward as I wrapped my arms around him. He held on to me tightly. He heavily cried into my shoulder. "Shh it's okay you won't end up like them. I won't let you okay?" I said kissing his forehead.

He weakly lifted his head and matched my gaze with his and softly nodded.

" Right I'm gonna help you sober up go sit on the couch I'm gonna make you a coffee." we both stood up and he obeyed my commands as he stumbled over to the couch.

I found my way into his kitchen I opened the fridge to see a few bottles of beer and decided I would take them so Logan wouldn't be tempted to drink it. I began to brew his coffee. I quickly checked on Logan to see what he was up to. He was searching through his drawers in the living room. "What you looking for?" I asked him as he still rummaged through the drawers. "My smokes." He whispered.

Since when did he smoke?

"You don't need them. Just sit there till I come back with your coffee."

He looked up from the drawer and his eyes met mince once again. You always hear in movies of people's eyes looking empty, broken even. They looked almost Hollow. He was hurting, Bad.

He looked down shamefully at the floor as he scurried into the armchair.

I completed brewing the coffee and brought it to where he was sitting calmly. He took the cup and sipped it.

"Look Florence you don't have to look after me. I'll be okay." He said delicately. "And leave you in the state your in? I don't think so." I scoffed.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. I jumped up to answer it as Logan tried to wipe away the remainder of his tears.

I opened the door to see Jenna in a short red dress that was long sleeved with no shoulders.

"Oh Florence hey, What's going on here." She smirked raising her eyebrows. I playfully rolled my eyes. "spending some time with a friend how about you." I said leaning against the doorframe. " Just her to collect your 'friend' to go out for another friends Birthday."

I looked at the floor. " Is there gonna be alcohol there." I sighed.

"Of course I'm sure you can come as well just get dressed really quickly." She grinned.

"I don't think I should go or L-" " C'mon gorgeous come with me ." Logan said wearing a new buttoned up shirt as he tried to stand still and not slur his words. " I honestly can't miss this or Levi will cut my balls off." I scowled at him. "I'll be waiting in the car hurry up Flo." Jenna said tensely. "Look Flo come with me so you can stop me from drinking pretty please." He begged.

I ran up the stairs to my house silently and changed into a dress and heeled boots and ran outside to the car.

A guy with green hair was driving. I'm guessing he's Cameron's boyfriend as they were holding hands even though the dude was driving. Jenna, Logan and I where in the back .

Eventually we arrived at poca palace. It was a nightclub that's famous in Rockwell, mainly because its the only one in Rockwell. We joined with some other people that I recognized from Logan's party including Ashely and the emo haired dude I made out with.

None of that mattered I was only here for Logan's sake.

I'm only here to help him.
