Logan's POV
I got in my car and took the longest route home possible. When I finally pulled into the driveway and put my car in park I waited a few minutes before facing my inevitable death on the inside. I walked in the front door and everything was quiet and I noticed my dad who was sitting with his head in his hands.
I cleared my throat, "Where's mom and Jax?"
"I sent them out. I don't want them to be witnesses in case I actually murder you." my dad removed his face from his hands.
I gulped, "Dad, I'm sorry..."
He stood up I thought he might actually catch on fire, "I don't want to hear it! You never lay your hands on another person! Ever!" he roared through the house.
"You don't know the whole fucking story!" I exploded at him.
Immediately his hand slapped across my cheek, "Go to you room." he was so calm it was scary.
Despite the stinging sensation radiating through my face I held in my tears and glared at him, "You never lay your hands on another person, right?" I turned around and stormed to my room slamming the door behind me.
I fell onto my bed, digging my head into the pillow and letting only a few tears fall. I hate how everyone is acting like I don't already feel bad enough. I never wanted any of this to happen Alexia Melissa Trippy honestly means more than the world to me. It's been about an hour when I heard a knock on my door and it slowly squeaked open. I didn't move but I felt the bed move the intruder has sat on my bed.
"What?" I finally said.
There was a sigh, "We need to talk." my dad said.
I rolled my eyes, "You mean you need to talk and I need to pretend like I'm listening?" I got smart with him.
"Logan, now is not the time to start this crap with me. Do you understand me?" he said.
"Yes, your carrot majesty." I sat up and leaned my back against my wall.
I got a warning glare from my dad, "That's enough."
"Okay, dad. What do you want? Grounded for a year? Military school? Lock me in a dungeon?"
"I want to start with no matter what you do I will always love you although I might want to kill you right now I will always love you..." he started.
I cut him off, "Oh god, you are actually sending me to military school."
"Logan! For once in your life be serious!" he said in a harsh tone as he stood in front of me.
I sighed and looked down , "Yes, sir."
"I want to know what happened." he looked down at me.
I threw my head back and let out a puff of air, "Lexi and I were about to have sex, we'll fight about that later anyway, when I took off her shirt I saw she had cut again, I was so angry and so scared dad I grabbed onto her biceps and my grip must've of been so tight my hand imprint stayed in her arm for a week." I made eye contact with my dad as the tears built in my eyes, "I never, ever, meant to hurt her."
I finally started to cry into my hands when my dad sat beside me and pulled me into a hug I started to cry into his chest when he lifted my chin so I could look into his eyes I winced at the pain in my cheek, "I'm sorry I slapped you earlier I just want you to know you can't talk to me like that."
I nodded into his chest as I let my final tears fall, "I'm sorry, dad."
"I know you are but what you did was wrong I need you to understad that.
"But I do understand dad." I said.
He held out his finger and cut me off, "You're grounded for a month and I want you to stay away from Lexi, do you understand me?"
I pulled out of his arms, "You can't keep me away from her!"
He stood and went towards my door, "You don't want to test me on this, Logan." he left.
I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs but instead I opened my window and quickly made my way down the tree that was conveniently right outside. It was dark so I was able to turn off the lights and put my car in neutral out of the driveway so no one could tell I was gone. I drove for an hour before my phone started to ring the I.D. read "Lex" I pulled over and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" I said.
She sniffled, "Logan, it can't be over tonight."
"It's not. I'll always be here for you Lexi but our story is going to have to wait until all this drama dies down." I explained.
"Logan, please. Come see me." she begged through the phone.
"Where are you?" I asked concerend.
She was out of breath, "I just ran I don't want to be near my family, I want you." she cried.
I wanted to cry with her and let her know how much I was there but I couldn't, "Lex, I can't do this, I 'm sorry."
She sighed, "What happened with your dad?"
"There was yelling, slapping, and hugging." I said.
"Are you okay?" she whispered.
"I'm fine, I just need you to hang in there, before you know it everyone will have forgotten about this." I assured.
"I love you." she said.
"I love you too." I said before disconnecting the phone and slamming my hand off the steering wheel, "Damn it!" I screamed into the night.
I just wanted everything to work out for a change, I didn't want there to be so many problems. I stopped at a local place that I knew would give me beer and bought a six pack. I drank two before making my journey home. I silently pulled into the driveway and drank one more beer before throwing all the evidence in a trash can outside our house.
I climbed up the tree into my room when I saw Jax on my bed crying. He ran out of my room and screamed, "Mom, dad he's back!"
I rolled my eyes and muttered, "Shit." when my parents entered the room.
"Where the hell have you been?" my dad asked followed by my mom saying, "I swear if you went to see Lexi."
I sat at my desk chair, "I didn't go see Lex, I just went to clear my head."
"I told you not to leave this room!" my dad yelled.
"I know what you said dad." I said to him.
My dad started sticking his nose in the air like he could smell something I could feel my face turn red, "Is that alcohol?"
"What? No!" I said sounding offended even though I knew how guilty I actually was.
He squatted down so he was face to face with me, "Breathe in my face." I shook my head "no" trying my hardest to hold in my breath, "Breathe in my face!" I let out a breath and looked to the floor, "I can't believe you! Were you drinking and driving?!" He screamed.
"I'm sorry." was all I could get out.
"Were you drinking and driving!?" my dad yelled again.
A few silent tears fell down my face, "Yes, sir."
"You really screwed up this time, Logan." my mom said before leaving the room with a look of disgust on her face.
My dad watched as my mom left, "What am I supposed to do with you Logan?"
"Disown me?" I said being half serious with my words.
He gave an irritated laugh, "I'm half tempted, you put your life in danger tonight, you're hurting other people. Don't you see that?" before there was time to answer he started again, "Obviously not, I'm more disappointed in you than I ever have been before. I think you should go to bed, maybe we will talk in the morning but then again I don't know if I can even talk to you anymore."
That hurt so bad, "Goodnight dad, I love you." I don't have Lexi, I never really had my mom on my side, I needed my dad.
He gave me a disappointed look, "Goodnight." and he shut my door.
