Areea's P.O.V

We pulled into an empty car park.

"We're here," Logan says turning towards me in his seat.

"Where are we exactly?" I ask starring in his pale blue eyes, the moonlight lighting up half his face.

"Come on." He said getting out of the car, smiling.

"You didn't answer my question!" I say racing around his car, to stand next to him.

"I'll show you the answer." He said taking my hand in his. His hand was soft and warm in the chilly breeze.

He led me along a small dirt path leading down along the side of a hill, thick trees and greenery made the trail uneven.

The sound of crashing waves, the crunch of twigs and Logan's consistent, even breathing was all I could hear.

"Ok, do you trust me?" Logan says stopping in front of me.

"Should I?" I tease.

"You should." He said smiling at me.

"Ok I trust you," I say as he lets go of my hand. He wraps his arms around my waist, picking me up.

"Ok close your eyes?" He says laughing.

"Ok then?" I say nervously.

He starts walking down the path further, I'd assume.

A few minutes later he stops.

"Ok I'm going to put you down when I say you can open your eyes," Logan said slowly putting me on the ground, the ground was soft and moved around under my feet a little.

"Can I open my eyes?" I ask bitting my lip.

"Yup." He says as I open them to see a long wide pier, lots of bright and colourful lights were illuminating the white sand beach, the lights glinting off the waves.

"This place is so beautiful!" I say looking at him hearing laughs and happy music coming from little stalls along the pier. It was so quiet yet comfortably loud.

"I know aye," Logan says grabbing my hand, gently he pulled me toward the pier. Many stalls consisting of games to food were set up along the long pier.

We walked along the pier to the very end, the stalls were close enough to give the pier end light but far away enough so we can't hear the music and chatter.

"Thanks again Logan. For everything, for saving me, for bringing me here." I said turning towards him. I took his hand in mine, we stared at each other, the gesture made him look down from my eyes.

"Look, Areea, I would save you as many times as you want and bringing you here was nothing." He says leaning in closer.

"Aww Logan," I say wrapping my arms around his torso hugging him, his sent was clean and sweet.

*Buzz buzz*

I pull away from him, answering my phone.

Logan's P.O.V

She pulled away to answer her phone, I wanted to stay in that moment forever.

"Hello" Areea spoke into her phone her expression quickly changed from happy to serious as she gasped. "Really? Leanna? Leanne Jordan? No!" She started to cry,

She hung up. Her cheeks wet and red, I wrap my arms around her soothing her. She stood there sobbing, her hands wiping her eyes.

"Areea, what happened?" I ask quietly into her hair.

"M-my co-cousin was i-in a serious ca-car cr-crash." She said sobbing.

"Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" I ask feeling sorry for her, even though she was crying she seemed so cute and fragile.

"Y-yes pl-ease, I'm gon-na text T-Terry." She said as I pulled her close and picked her up to carry her back to the car. She was a sad mess.

Once we got to the car I buckled her in and rushed to the hospital.

Areea's P.O.V

I walk down the long, pale hallway. Logan was holding my hand trailing along next to me, his hand was the only thing that was holding me together right now.

We turn to a small dull white room. Logan stepped forward opening the door for me to step through. There she was Leanne my closest cousin she was practically my sister, she was lying on a small hospital bed. Tubes hanging around her connecting to beeping monitors and to drip stands. She looked so pale apart from the large red gouge in her cheek and the bruising on her jaw.

"Logan..." I say turning away from her into his warm large chest. The tears started, hot salty water running down my face.

"Shhhh it's going to be fine Areea.." he said wrapping his arms around me tightly.

"Areea? I'm here!" Terry said bursting through the door into the small room. She looked at Logan and I's embrace and smirked at me winking.

"Ha, not the time?" She says as Logan pulls away. Terry gave me a hug and stood next to me holding my hand tightly as the Nurse came in.

"Hello, you must be Areea?" She asked, taking in my distraught self.

"Yes, that's me," I spoke slowly so the lump in my throat wouldn't make me stutter.

"Well your cousin Lianne Jordan was in a serious car crash at ten thirty-eight, it was a blind corner and her vehicle collided with another, her vehicle rolled seven times, she has received severe head and torso injuries and has a broken femur." The nurse spoke with an understanding yet serious face.

"T-thank you." Was all I managed to get out. The nurse left and Logan, Terry and I walked out into the carpark, a few street lamps lighting up the large area.

"You gonna be ok?" Terrilee asked concerned.

"I should be fine I'm just gonna go home," I say to her hugging her before she left.

"Come on, I'll take you home," Logan said unlocking his purple car.

"No, I'll just walk, my place is only a couple blocks away anyway.." I resist as he walks around to the driver's door.

"Nope, get in." He says getting in the car, I give in.

I get in the car and he drives me home.
