I shot for the hoop. I missed again.

The ball bounced off the rim and hit the ground. I sighed. Something was wrong with me today.

"Logan, are you feeling okay?" Noah asked. "You should go home now. You've had a rough night."

We all had a rough night. We lost the game because of me. I missed the last shot.

I wanted to go home...I did. But Bunny would be there.

The night I found Bunny, my heart broke. That night at the bar, she looked so sad. Her black eyes were leaking tears. I could tell she was heartbroken.

I just watched her. I watched as her hand came up to wipe away her tears, but she just spread them across her cheeks.

I thought she was adorable. She was so small and lonely.

She didn't deserve the pain she was feeling. I wanted to destroy whoever made her feel that way.

Whatever happened that day had ruined her. It tore her heart apart into pieces and the pieces flew up into the sky and scattered all around the world.

I was going to find those pieces. No matter how long it takes or how dangerous the journey, I will bring the pieces back together.

I wanted her to be happy.

I was afraid that I wasn't enough to make that happen. I was afraid that I wasn't good enough for Bunny. Could I make her happy again?

That is why my shooting is off. She was all I thought about, all I worried about. I couldn't focus on the game. I was ruining the team.

I threw the basketball to Noah. He caught it and shot for the hoop. It slid right in. "Boom!" He cheered.

I chuckled and grabbed my bag to leave.

"Leaving already?" Chloe said. Chloe was the sluttiest cheerleader on the team. She was a gorgeous blonde and narrow gray eyes. She and I had hooked up a couple of times. Once I realized she had already fucked most of the guys on campus, I ran for my life.

"Yes." I said, turning around and walking away.

"How come you left the party so early yesterday? I thought you were having fun." She said, jogging after me.

"I had plans." I sighed. Can't she take a hint?

"What kind of plans?"

"None of your business, Chloe."

"Don't be like this, Logan. Anyway..." her voice trailed off. Then she beamed. "Have your parents called you recently?"

My hands balled into tight fists. What the hell does she know about MY parents?

She continued. "Maybe I could meet them sometime, you know like you promised."

"I was drunk, Chloe. Forget about it. Besides, that was years ago."

"Drunk or not, a promise is a promise."

How does she expect to meet my parents when I haven't seen them in 10 years?

"Fuck off, Chloe. I'm going home. Don't follow me."

Chloe was a psycho. So was her sister Heather. They were obsessed with me. So were their parents. They desperately wanted to meet my parents just because they were billionaires.

I fucked her and her sister. But that was months ago. I decided to stop being a player because I thought my dick would fall off- joking. I stopped because I didn't want my parents to know I was doing this. It would ruin their image. Although it took me 3 years to realize this, I stopped anyway.

I left the school and climbed into my car. The passenger seat smelled strongly of Bunny's perfume. If I could sit there and drive I would.

After going to the bar to get a drink, I went home. From the outside I could see that all the lights were off. She must be asleep by now.

Celeste walked out of the house, carrying cleaning supplies. She was my maid. "Hello, Mr. Python."

"Good evening, Celeste. Is Bunny awake?"

"No. You should know, she did a lot of cleaning today."

"Really? Why?"

"She must think she owes you or something? Anyway, she's knocked out in her bed after doing homework. I must be going now. Have a nice evening Mr. Python." She began to walk down the pavement with a smile on her face.

I entered the house and turned on all the lights. I went into the kitchen and a sandwich was waiting for me on the stove.

I ate the food and washed my plate once I finished. I turned the lights off then went upstairs.

I walked down the long, brown tile hallway. I stopped in front of her bedroom door.

I stood there for what felt like forever. Although it was my house, I felt like this room wasn't mine anymore. I did three small knocks. I waited and no response came.

She's asleep.

I went to my bedroom and undressed. I took a nice long shower. I smelled awful after practice. I rieked of failure and disappointment. Or sweat.

Once I finished,.I lay in my bed and switched off the lights.

I stared out of the window at the street lights. The way it looked outside reminded me of how it was when I brought Bunny home. She was so cute and drunk. I remembered going to get gas. She hopped out of the car and began to strip on a streetlight. I doubt she remembers any of that. I won't be telling her anyway.

Suddenly, the hallway light turned on. "Logan... Logan..." I heard outside my door. The voice sounded sad and groggy.

"Bunny?" I called out. "Bunny, are you alright?"

I heard creaking. My door was opening.

I stared at Bunny's face through the darkness. She was crying. "Logan..." She sobbed.

I sat up in my bed. "Bunny, what's the matter?" She must've had a terrible nightmare. Probably about the cruel creature who made her this way.

She didn't say anything. She just climbed into my bed. "C- can I sleep with you?" She sobbed, wiping away her tears.

"Bunny, you're already in my bed." I smiled at her, wiping her tears away with my thumb.

"Because I knew you'd say yes," she said. I pulled the blankets over her body. I leaned down and brought her hand to my lips. I kissed it.

"Why do you always do that?" She asked.

"Because you're my Queen." I suddenly pulled her close to my chest, wanting to comfort her.

"No don't," She quickly pushed me away.

My heart immediately shattered. This wasn't my usual experience. Girls would beg for me to hold them when they lay in my bed after sex. But this time I wanted to hold her.

What the hell is wrong with me?

"Okay," I said, trying to hide how hurt I was.

She turned on her side and curled into a ball under the blanket. I moved closer to her. I breathed in her sweet scent. It was so calming.

She sighed. "Thank you. Logan."

She quickly fell asleep, lightly snoring.

"You're welcome, Bunny." I whispered, then went to sleep as well.
