Pumped-Up Kicks (A Logan Lerman Story)

Chapter 33

Logan's P.O.V.

--------------------------------------------------

One of my hands was on the steering wheel of her challenger. I looked over to Telly. She seemed to be deep in thought. I rested my other hand on her thigh and rubbed small circles on her legging covered skin. The quiet was almost unbearable.

"What are you thinking?" I asked. Clearly something was bothering her.

"What's Remie gonna think when we come back? Like would she kill me because of.... us?" Her grey eyes held a light touch of fear.

"No because I broke up with her. Right before I left. Don't worry." I continued tracing her thigh. My eyes locked with the road again. " Do you wanna get some food. I mean we're almost home and you can go back to school on Monday. It would almost be normal."

"Yeah I'm really hungry. I can probably eat more than both of us combined." Her arms were wrapped around her again. " Can you pull over?"

"Why. What's wrong?" The car came to a halt on the shoulder of the road.

"I don't wanna throw up in here." The passenger door flew open and for the second time today, she threw up. I reached over and held her hair away from her face. After she was done I handed her a bottle of water that was rolling around the back seat.

"Maybe we should go to the hospital. Something isn't right with you. We should get you checked out. Then I promise I'll buy you some food." She sat back in her leather seat again and closed her eyes. Poor Telly.

Soon Seattle became visable and I drove her to the hospital. The nurses didn't let me in the ER. I sat in the waiting room with anticipation. I hoped she was okay. It seemed like 10,000 years passed. Her doctor finally came into the room. "Mr. Lerman." She stood tall.

"Yes. How is she doctor." I was worried fucking sick.My hands shook. I shoved them deep in my pockets.

"I'm afraid we need her to come back in a few hours. We need more time to run tests. Miss Allegria needs to return in 4 hours. Please make sure she eats. Miss Allegria could be staying overnight."

I nodded. What the fuck does that mean. The women lead me to a room. Telly was dressed and ready to go. We rode the elevator down in silence. Her cold hand reached for mine. I took it careful not to crush her bony fingers. "So we have four hours to kill. Whatya wanna do?" I broke the silence as I climbed in the car.

" I just really want to sleep. Sleeping is nice."

" We can go visit Remie. And you can sleep on the way there."I suggested knowing how much she wants to see her. "Oh and you can eat all you want." I looked over to her. She was already drifting off. So I left her alone.

Telly's P.O.V.

I woke up to a large hand shaking my shoulder. My eyes fluttered open and took in my surroundings. Logan was helping me out of the car. The snow was melting. We walked up Remie's long driveway. I rang the doorbell and waited for a butler to open it. To my surprise she opened it herself.

"Ohmigod. Telly!!!!Where have you been for the past few weeks? And what happened to you. You're so small."

"Oh I uh went to um visit my Mom. She's a workout junkie and refuses to eat anything that's not fruit." I shrugged. "Logan here rescued me before I died of starvation and malnutrition. So I decided I wanted to visit my favorite chick in the world. And I really want to eat." She hugged me and pulled back. We were lead to the living room.
