Saving My Abused Lover

Chapter 16

"You okay blossom?" Buttercup yelled after me as I went straight upstairs after school.

I took a deep breath, "I'm fine buttercup, just really exhausted with all my essays piling up, I'm going to skip dinner and work on them!" I yelled down before closing my door.

I felt like I was suffocating yet no one could see me, no one could save me and I'd eventually die without any oxygen. Sometimes I wondered if that wouldn't be so bad... It wasn't me to be feeling this way but I was and I had no one I could talk to, no one who would entirely understand or get hurt.

Ever time Logan kissed me or even held me I wanted it to be brick... He use to do those things, as a friend of course but to me it always felt as something more but I'm pretty sure he

didn't like me like that. Who would? I was gaining weight and losing weight like no tomorrow, stressing out and becoming Logan's personal punching bag when he was pissed about anything!

That's what irked me most, Logan somehow had the ability to hurt me physically and emotionally and then threaten those close to me if I ever left him! I shouldn't have gotten sucked into him but I was hurt and went to the first thing offering me comfort but I was only human... at least I'm still pretty sure that I'm human...

I sighed working on all my papers, my heart and head wasn't truly in it probably going to get me a B but I honestly didn't mind. It was only a grade, it wasn't going to show anyone my actual life just how I truly cared about my schoolwork. Time ticked on and I put everything back into my back pack then walked to my mirror. I stared intently before looking away, it'd probably crack if I continued to stare any longer...

I slowly went to my bed, feeling exhausted, I turned my lights off and dreamt of somewhere that wasn't near Logan but near my family and true friends. Somewhere, where I was officially happy again...

*Next Day*

"Hey blossom!" Brick yelled coming up to my locker.

I smiled at him before Logan's face came to my mind, "Hey brick, I kinda can't talk right now..." I closed my locker and started to walk away, ripping my heart to shreds and throwing it into the fire.

He grabbed my wrist spinning me around making me flinch, the bruises were still heal, for some reason they weren't healing very fast like normal. He instantly let go and stared at me intently, "Bloss, is everything alright? You don't look very well, have you been eating?" He added the end sternly, feeling my forehead lightly.

I enjoyed the feeling and his attention till I remembered Logan, I pulled away, "I'm okay brick, please don't worry about me, please?" I pleaded, that's the last thing I need was someone I really cared about to worry about me.

He shook his head making me frown, "I can't just not worry about you red, you're my best friend and I'm not going to ignore it when you look like your health is plummeting!" He snapped but not harshly but sadly. Pain flashed through his eyes making me feel incredible guilty.

I looked around finding no one in the halls, I pulled brick into a bone crushing hug ignoring the pain, "I love you so much brick and that's why I need to protect you..." I whispered before pulling away and walking to my next class, leaving him stunned.
