Chapter Thirteen

Olive Branch

The next morning I awoke with a shudder. My face was buried against my pillow, pressing painfully into my broken lip. I twisted to my side and held my hand in front of my mouth, and groaned, not brave enough to touch the tender gash.

I pulled myself up, and fell back against the cream linen-upholstered headboard Hilary and I tackled as a DIY project earlier in the summer.

Hilary, I thought closing my eyes. How could she set me up with someone that had just gotten out of prison? Someone that could have done God knows what with me had I taken him home.

With my eyes closed, I inhaled through my nostrils and slowly blew it back out, attempting not to move my mouth. Repeating it twice more, the deep cleansing breaths calmed the growing anger wakening inside me. I stretched my arms high above my head, before padding across the floor toward the bathroom.

The shower worked wonders to my body. Exhaustion made me refuse one the previous night even though Logan offered to stay, in fear of me falling, but I just wanted the night to end.

My body rested against the cool tile, warm water cascading over me as my mind drifted back to Logan. His unprecedented kindness left me both grateful and confused. There was so much more to Logan West than he led on and with each new glimpse I received, I was left wanting more.

With my hair twisted up in a fluffy white towel, I wiped the fog from the oval bathroom mirror. “Ugh!”

I leaned forward over the sink to examine my swollen lip with a giant gash running down it. Lightly, I ghosted my fingers over the area, flinching when it stung even under my own touch.

Lazily, I fell on the corner of my bed, still draped in nothing but a towel, and picked up my phone I’d set to silent last night. I rolled my eyes when it read eighteen missed calls and fell back against my pillows, scrolling through the list. Twelve were from Hilary and the rest from my mother.

There were also a few texts from Hilary. Each text asked the same thing—was I all right and could she stop by. As I continued scrolling through the messages, my phone lit up with a new text. With an irritated scoff at Hilary’s persistence, I opened the message surprised to see an unknown number.

Good morning, sweetheart. Hope u are feeling better. If u need anything, please let me know. See u tomorrow morning at school –Logan

I stared down at the message, rereading it, wondering how he had my number. My lips curled up into the faintest smile as I hit reply.

Thanks. I’m sure u r in a lot worse shape than me. Did u have Julia check on u last night? U promised.

I hit the send button and then saved his number in my contacts. Almost instantly, I had new message.

Yes, and as you can see I survived just fine :)

I smiled and typed back quickly.
