My Best Friend Logan

C11: Jack

I left the bathroom, my fists clenched and eyes shut tightly.
"Hey man!" Jack called out from behind me.
"Hey wassup?" I opened my eyes quickly and turned around.
"You okay, man?"
I cleared my throat before replying "I'm fine"
"I heard that you kissed Brooke, is that true?"
"Yeah, and?"
"Well, she didn't tell me"
"Maybe she didn't wanna tell you"
I walked up to him threateningly and he attempted to shove me but I didn't move.
"You do realise she's my girl right?" He shouts, taking a few steps backwards. I just sniggered in reply which pissed him off even more.
"Something funny mate?"
"Just that you think that she likes you"
"Of course I think that, she wouldn't have let me take her virginity otherwise"
and with that I stopped and looked at him, his face lined with a smirk.
Did Brooke really not tell me this?
"You're lying" I chuckled nervously.
"Nope" He laughed confidently.
"You know, uh, the morning after, she was gone, you don't happen to know where she went do you?"
"Maybe she was at mine" I lied.
Jack started to sprint towards me, anger in his eyes. I charged back at him, we made contact and I shoved him heavily onto the floor. I started beating him, punching his face and kicking his sides.
"HEY BOYS! BREAK IT UP" I zoned back in when Mr. Mulberry and Mr. Benson started pulling me away from Jack. Jack got up, his nose was bleeding and his face was red as fuck but that was it. I forced the teachers off of me and stormed off.
"Johnstone come here this instant".
"PISS OFF" I yelled down the corridor.

                                         *****

                                Brooke's POV:

I ran into the office and jogged up to Logan. "What the fuck, Logan?"
"He started on me" he hissed
"Well... fair enough, anyway let's go before they see us"
"yeah" he picked up his bag and followed me down the corridor.
W

e walked halfway home in silence.

"So. You had sex with Jack?"
I groaned in annoyance. "Ugh, it just happened I didn't mean to"
"Well losing your virginity isn't something that just happens Brooke!" He yelled at me.
"Why are you mad at me? It doesn't concern you, it was my choice!" I slammed my foot down.
"Because it was supposed to be me!" He sighed and looked down.

Wow did Logan just say he wanted it to be him??

"I'm sorry..."
"No, no its fine I'm just being stupid" He started to walk off ahead. I followed close behind.
"Well" I stammered "you lost yours"
"No I didn't that was a lie"
Once we arrived at my house he turned around and looked at me.
"I'm sorry but I'm really confused right now..."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Can I come inside...?"
"...Of course" I motioned towards the door and sighed, upset. I know that I've hurt him but I don't know how to fix it.
Logan sat himself down on the sofa and turned on the TV,  took off his hoodie and bit into a biscuit.

I smiled at his predictable actions and walked up the stairs.
Opening the door to my room, I saw the grey curtains flapping around my wide open window.
"I'm sure I closed that this morning.." I muttered to myself, a confused expression on my face.
I hesitated.
Walking two steps through the doorway, a recognisable scent wafted past me and I took 3 more steps forward.
SLAM!
The door slammed shut behind me as my head snapped towards it and ,standing right there, hand on the door knob, was Jack.
"Oh my God Jack! You scared me" I let out a breath. He chuckled in reply, pushing back his dirty blonde hair and smiling, revealing his dimples. He walked towards me, looking at the floor and shaking his head. He was still smiling but it was darker, scarier, more evil. As he reached me he looked up, acid eyes shooting daggers in my direction.
"Jack"
"Yes Brooke? Got something to say?" He scould at me, attempting to intimidate me.
"I'm so sor-" I was cut off.
"To be honest, Brooke, I don't really care".

If you don't care why are you here

He walked towards me, threateningly. I pushed myself up against the wall so hard I almost merged with it.
"How come you're scared now? I mean you had a right laugh kicking my ass last time didn't you?" I felt his breathe on my face. He lowered his head to my ear "I would do the same to you but I have something better planned..." he whispered. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up sharply. He grabbed my wrists and pushed them against the wall. I twisted them in an attempt to break free but I couldn't. He tried to stick his tongue down my throat but I spat in his face. However, he continued to harass me, kissing my neck and my jaw.
"Jack, get off me" I struggled "I said, GET OFF ME JACK!"
Only seconds later, Logan stormed into the room, bashing the door on the wall. He viciously pulled Jack off of me and threw him into the wall. Jack bounced off it and collapsed onto my carpet, knocked out.
"Are you alright?" he inquired, brushing my hair out of my face trying to calm me down. He placed his hand on my cheek and my breathing slowed.
"Yeah- yeah im fine now" I sank into him wanting nothing more than the safety of him by my side.

                                         *****

I woke up to the annoying, repeatative sound of my alarm clock. I pressed the 'snooze' button and lay there for a few minutes, staring at my ceiling. Logan had escorted Jack out of the house and then went home to check his phone where I had stayed up late messaging him. I sluggishly got out of bed and chucked some clothes on. I pulled my hoodie over my head as I walked down the stairs almost tripping, grabbed my lunch off the side and headed out of the door in under 20 minutes of waking up.
Upon arriving at school, I sat myself down at my desk and sighed.
"This is going to be a long day..."
"Tell me about it" Logan whispered as he sat down beside me.
"What are you doing? We're not friends rememeber"
"You know what? Who cares what they think. We can be ...friends"
"I guess so" I shifted in my seat and looked around to see the whole class staring at me... even Arabella.
Once we made eye contact, Arabella shot a glare at me. I shrugged at her and turned back to face the board. I could feel everyone's eyes on me, watching me.

Why does it bother them so much?

I stood up and made my way to the back of the classroom to grab my folder from the cupboard, hinting at Bella to follow me as I did so.
She stood next to me, cleared her throat and looked me in the eye.
"What?" I hissed.
"Nothing..." she sounded hesitant.
"You're pissed" I sighed
"No I'm just a little bit annoyed that you never told me about this unlikely... friendship"
"How is it unlikely?"
"Well... you know, you're a good kid, Brooke-"
"Woah hold on. I'm a good kid?"
"Hey what's the attitude?"
"I'm not a good fucking kid. I cheat on people, I play them, and then I drop 'em!" I raised my voice slightly.
"Relax! You've never acted like this before. I'm just confused. That's all." She put her hand on my shoulder.

Breathe in, breathe out.

"Duh you're confused. You don't know me!"
"What do you mean?"
"Doesn't matter..." I picked up my folder and carried it back over to where I was sitting. Logan placed his hand on mine and I smiled at him.
"Thank God I have you"
