Jack's P. O. V.

Everyone had gone to bed except for me. Aspen wanted to give Wren some space so she was sleeping on the couch. I was sitting in the kitchen thinking about what had happened. There's no way Wren is really okay after what happened.

I quietly knocked on Wren's door, but I didn't get an answer. I walked in and saw the room empty, but the bathroom light was on. I knocked on the bathroom door and heard her crying.

"Aspen, leave me alone," he said quietly.

"It's Jack."

"I don't wanna talk." I sighed before opening the door. I saw her sitting on the floor holding her wrist. I saw a few drops of blood and gasped.

"Wren, what are you doing?" I asked sitting on the floor with her. I tried to touch her but she yanked her arm away.

"Nothing," she wiped her tears.

"Did you hurt yourself?" I asked, tears forming in my eyes. She stayed silent.

"I'm sorry," she cried.

"Come here." I picked her up and held her in my lap. She cried into my shoulder.

"I messed everything up. I hurt you, and I hurt Logan, and I hurt myself. I can't believe I did this. I deserve this pain."

"No you don't Wren. You didn't do anything wrong. What happened with Logan and I is between Logan and I."

"But it happened because of me."

"It happened because I was jealous and couldn't keep my eyes off of you."

"W-what?" She sat up.

"Nothing. But it wasn't your fault. You didn't do anything."

"I hurt you. And that's more than enough of a reason to hurt myself."

"No it's not. Wren-"

"I can't believe I did this to you. You're right. I am a slut and a bitch and so many other things."

"No you're not. You're none of those things.  I'm so sorry for everything I've ever called you. It was just because I as jealous of how you were happy without me."

"I'm not happy without you." She looked up into my eyes and I couldn't help myself.

I started slowly leaning in, waiting for her to stop me, but she didn't. Our lips touched and I felt the fire inside of me. I pushed farther, but she pulled back.

"Jack I-"

"I'm sorry. Um." She stood up and wiped her eyes.

"I should uh, you should go."

"I'm sorry Wren."

Wren's P. O. V.

He walked out of the bathroom and I started pacing back and forth. Shit. I cleaned up the bathroom and took a shower, still thinking about the kiss.

"Hello?" I answered Logan's call once I stepped out of the shower.

"Why didn't you answer earlier?"

"Sorry, I was uh in the shower."

"Oh. I'm really sorry about earlier Wren. Jack was right. I am insecure about you and him living together."

"Logan-"

"I just don't want him getting any ideas."

"He won't."

"I just don't trust him."

"Hey Logan."

"Yeah?"

"Do you think you could come pick me up? I'd rather stay at your house tonight," I bit my lip hoping that he'd stop worrying.

"I'm on my way."

I changed into my good underwear then threw on a tank top and some Adidas sweatpants. I didn't bother to put on makeup, Logan preferred no makeup anyways. When he texted me I walked outside, telling Zach where I was going since he was the only one awake.

"Hey baby girl," he said when I got into the car.

"Hey," I said smirking. I leaned across the seat and attached my lips to his. I didn't care that his lips didn't feel as good as Jack's.

He drove us to his apartment. As soon as the elevator door closed he pushed his lips onto mine. I laughed as I pushed him off and led him down the hallway to his apartment.

"I'm so glad you called me."

"Me too." He opened the door for me and I quickly closed it behind us. He picked me up and took me into his room, gently setting me on his bed.

He threw his shirt off before climbing on top of me, pulling my tank top over my head. He attached his lips onto my neck, gently biting me. He moved his lips to mine, slipping his tongue into my mouth.

                                     ***

I felt someone's lips on mine. I knew it was Logan so I kissed him back. His hands slid up and down my sides, as mine went into his hair. This wasn't Logan's hair.

I pulled back and opened my eyes.

"Good morning baby girl," Jack said.

I jumped awake, sitting right up.

"Babe, what's wrong?" Logan asked rubbing my bare back.

"Nothing, just a dream."

"Come here." He pulled me into his chest and kissed my head.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

I rubbed my thumb across his chest and listened to his heart beat. I tried to fall asleep, but everytime I closed my eyes I saw Jack on top of me again.

                                      ***

"Where the hell were you last night?" Aspen asked when I got home.

"I told Zach I was at Logan's," I told her.

"You scared me!"

"I'm sorry." I shrugged.

"Wait you were at Logan's?" She asked.

"Yeah, I called him after you guys went to sleep. He apologized about Jack and I wanted to see him so I went over there."

"Oh. Well we were all worried about you."

"You could've just asked Zach," I chuckled. I went upstairs and into my room. I sat on the bed then looked up when I heard the door close. Jack.

"Hey," he smiled. Shit.

"Uh hi."

"Can we talk? About last night."

"Um, I'd rather not," I said with a nervous chuckle.

"So it meant nothing?"

"I didn't say that. I just don't want to talk about it. I love Logan."

"Mhmm." He walked out. I shook my head and went to get ready for a gig I had in a few hours.
