Forbidden Love

Chapter 22

I woke up the next day feeling a bit better emotionally, physically I was still a wreck. My ribs were still sore, my chest still hurt and my leg was just done for. I turned a bit, waking Logan. As he woke up he yawned and looked at me, we were both silent as our eyes found each other. This was the first time in a long time, that I'd actually studied him. As I studied him, he looked different from the last time. Some thing had changed about him. Not all the changes were good but they weren't all bad either.

Knowing what I know now, made me look at him in whole different way but the part of me that loves him and wants to share my life with him, made me see the loving person he could be. As I continued to gaze at him memories flooded my mind, the saddest memory had to be a tie between finding out he hurt my brother and the day we found each other. I then saw two people, the man that almost killed my family and the man I wanted to share my life with. I could tell he saw something different in me as well, as we lay there gazing into each other. We both wanted to speak but right now was a moment of reflection for the both of us. We both messed up and now what were we supposed to do.

Do we start over from here or do we just loose all hope for a happy ending.

A tear shed as I began to shut down emotionally. The memories of him flooded my mind again. I miss Logan, but I hate the Demarco's. They almost killed my papa, but he loves me.

"I know you're probably asking yourself what do we do now, well it won't be easy but baby we start over." He said as he wiped my face. I looked at him in amazement, it was as if he read my mind. I laid there speechless for a minute.

"So starting over." I sighed as I got up. Logan got up with me, we took a shower and started our day.

"So are you going to the doctor or the hospital?" Logan asked as we sat on the couch. He turned the TV on and we watched cartoons.

"You already know the answer to that question." I sighed as I laid on him.

"So I have to drag you to the hospital?" He said in an aggravated tone.

"Listen I'll go to hospital only on one condition."

"What." He said making me get up.

"If my chest is still hurting by my next period." I said.

"No, you have an irregular period so that'll be like 3 months from now."

"Well, if my chest still hurts by the middle of next month then I'll go."

"By the end of the month Alexis." He said sternly.

"Fine." I said going upstairs back into the room. When I got to the room I felt a jolt of pain in my ribs. I scanned the room for the pain pills as I began to cough a bit, luckily I found a bottle water. That stopped the coughing but the pain continued. It was bad but not bad enough to go to the hospital. It was a throbbing pain. I tried to keep calm but its like every time I got comfortable it throbbed more. With every throb it got worse, I started coughing again, and this time I couldn't stop it.

"Lexi!" I heard Logan yell as he walked in.

"I'm fine." I coughed as I tasted a bit of blood.

"No, we're taking you to a hospital."

"No." I coughed.

"Listen, you need medical attention." He said as he got my medicine and propped the pillows up behind me. The couching subsided as he gave me the pill and got a bottle of water.

"I'm fine." I said breathing heavily.

"Alexis let me call one of my doctors at least?"

"No, baby if we're starting over we need to leave that part of our lives back where it is."

"Lexi, if you don't want to go to the hospital then I'm calling one of my boys."

"Fine call them, but I can't promise you I won't shoot them." Logan gave me a grim stare.

"Where are your guns?" He asked going through my bag. I gave him a smug look as he found nothing. "Where'd you put them?"

"I don't know." I smiled.

"Lexi!"

"Logan."

"Listen let me, let them help you." He said nicely.

"I will hurt them."

"I see this isn't going to be easy."

"Nope."

"Do I have to restrain you Alexis?" He asked as I walked to the bathroom.

"Restrain, you're so cute." I chuckled.

"Lexi."

"Can I piss in peace!" I screamed. The room was quiet as I came out and Logan just stared at me. "What."

"We're going to the hospital." Logan sighed as I laid in bed. He picked me up and carried me to the car. I couldn't fight it anymore I'm hurting and death isn't an option.

"Okay." I said as he got in the car.

"I only do it because I love you." He said as we began our commute. Yea that's why I though to myself. I was silent the whole ride, I didn't wanna go in the first place. No Logan wants to play overprotective boyfriend today.

"I only do it because I love you." I mocked. He stopped the car and gave me a face.

"We can just go back to the house if you really don't want to go okay." He said gazing at me.

"Just a care spot okay." I sighed.
