I was waiting outside on the gym for Logan to finish basketball practice. I curled into a ball on the bench. It was raining outside and the cold air snuck in.

The gym door opened. The basketball players came out. They smiled and waved to me as they walked outside to their cars.

Logan and Noah were last walk out.

"See you later, sugar plum!" Noah said, petting my head.

"Noah," Logan warned, pulling me into his arms. "Stop touching her."

"Oh come on. I couldn't help it, Logan. She looks like a little burrito in your sweater. You don't deserve this much cuteness." He laughed.

"Go home, Noah. I'll call you tonight about what we saw."

"You better not forget." Noah said, walking away, smiling at us. "See you later!"

Logan sighed. He took my hand in his. "Bunny, you're freezing cold. Let's go."

He opened his umbrella and we ran to the car. He opened the door for me and I got it. He closed his umbrella and threw it into the back seat. He climbed into the driver's side and immediately turned on the heat.

He didn't drive until the car was completely warm.

Once we got home, he carried me inside so I wouldn't get wet.

After I changed, I sat on my bed waiting for him to come in.

Was does he want to ask me? Will I be able to answer all of his questions?

After about 10 minutes, he came in and sat on the bed with me.

The room was quiet. I was waiting for him to speak, but he didn't.

He looked up at the ceiling, deep in thought.

"Bunny, how do you feel?" He asked me out of nowhere.

"G-good." I said, looking down at my hands.

He took one of my hands in his and rubbed my palm with his thumb. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to, Bunny. I won't be upset if you say no."

"I'm okay. Let's do it."

He took in a breath and started. "How did you meet Peyton?"

Easy.

"My friend Emma told me about him. We were ironically going to the same college. We met up there."

"Did he ask you out or was it the other way around?"

"He asked me."

"When?"

"When... Emma told him I had a crush on him." I squeezed my arm.

"Are you still friends with her today?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because she knew about Julia and Peyton the whole time and she didn't tell me. She tried so hard to get Peyton and I together but she sat there and let him ruin our relationship. I thought she was my friend but she betrayed me like I was nothing." My eyes filled with tears. I wiped away the ones that escaped.

He squeezed my hand. I knew he wanted to hug me, but he didn't. "Maybe she liked him too."

"No, I don't think so."

"Why not?"

"Because she said she didn't. She promised me she didnt..." I stopped because I realized how dumb I sounded.

Julia had said the same thing and look at where we are now. "I guess you're right." I gave him a sad smile.

He gave me one back. "Bunny, don't be upset with yourself okay? It's not your fault."

"Isn't it?"

"No. Never."

It was silent again for a few moments.

"You two were together for three years, right?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Did you enjoy being with him?"

"Sometimes."

"Why not all the time?"

"Because he wouldn't say 'I love you' back to me."

"Why not?"

"Because...He loved Julia instead. I was nothing but a joke to him. He didn't want me for anything but my body and when I couldn't give it to him...he went to Julia. Instead of breaking up with me, he strung me along. He could've saved me from so much pain. He didn't care about me though. He didn't care about how I felt at all..."

He went silent for a long time again. Then he spoke. "Bunny, I'm so so-"

"Don't apologize. Please. It makes me feel worse." I rubbed my arm. I was squeezing it so hard it hurt.

"Did he... touch you?" He didn't look at me when he asked this. He squeezed my hand again.

"Sexually?" I asked him, touching his hand that held mine.

He nodded.

"No. I wouldn't let him. I want to save myself for marriage."

His sparkling blue eyes looked up at me and he gave me a smile.

What was that for?

"What about the other kind?" He said, getting serious again.

"Once."

"Why?" He growled, his hands balling into fists. "How dare he..."

"H-he thought I was cheating on him..."

The memory of Peyton slapping me flashed through my head. I remembered falling and slamming my head onto the wood table. My body hit the ground hard. I could hear ringing in my ears. "Kitty! Kitty!" He ran to me. I could barely hear him. "Jesus! I didn't mean to hit you that hard! I'm so sorry!" I ran away from him and up the stairs. I ran into my room and cried. I was scared of him for 2 weeks after that.

Everyday he would apologize, but the purple bruise in my face said overwise.

"SO HE HIT YOU?!" Logan growled.

I flinched. I hid my face in my arms.

He took in a breath. "I'm so sorry, Bunny. I lost my temper. I just... I couldn't stand the thought of someone hitting you. Especially over a lie."

I lifted my head up. "Logan, it was a long time ago-"

"If you were to be killed today, would it be okay two weeks later?"

"I'm not dead, Logan."

"When you told me that... it felt like it." He gathered my body into his arms. He held my head to his chest and raked his fingers through my hair. I let out a sigh. He knew how to relax me.

I looked out the window. I watched it rain. It made me feel worse because it reminded me of my tears.

"Do you still love him?" Logan asked, his hold on me getting tighter.

I took in a breath. I buried my face into his chest.

Do I still love Peyton? Do I still love the boy who cursed at me, yelled at me, accused me of things I didn't do, never said he loves me, hit me and cheated on me with my best friend?

I looked at into Logan's sparkling blue eyes. I did something I thought I'd never do that day.

I pulled away from his grip. I leaned forward and kissed his cheek. "No, I don't love him anymore. I like you, Logan."

"Then... could we kiss?" He smirked, rubbing his chin. "That would be awesome."

My cheeks flushed. "Logan!"

"Come on, just one kiss. Please, Bunny?"

I was smiling big and wide. I probably look like a idiot. "Logan..."

"Please..."

"Don't beg me." I crossed my arms over my chest. "You're embarrassing me."

"Please..." He continued, leaning forward.

I shook my head then jumped onto him smashing my lips onto his. We fell back onto the bed.

We lay there kissing. His lips were so soft and plump. It was as if they were made for me.

His arms circled my waist. He sucked and nibbled and my bottom lip. I moaned into his mouth. It felt so good and warm.

I curled my fingers into his hair tight. He let out a deep growl as he continued to kiss me. His kisses were becoming rougher and rougher. When I gasped for air, he went back to soft kisses. Soon his kisses were delicate, like the kisses he gave me on my shoulder.

I pulled away from his kisses, but he quickly gave me another.

I looked down at his lips. They were red and swollen. So were mine.

"That was awesome," he smirked. "I knew it would be."

I covered my face with my hands to cover my red cheeks.

I can't believe I just did that...

He took my hands down from my face. "Bunny, you're so cute when you're embarrassed. I want to see you." He smiled.

I lay my head back onto his chest. His arms quickly circled me again.

I felt safe and warm in his arms.

A bright light shined in my face. The sun had risen, turning the gloomy sky yellow. It was so beautiful.

"Look, Bunny. Even the sun likes you." He chuckled.

I smiled up at him, then fell asleep in his arms.

I realized that day... maybe I like Logan even more than I thought I did.
