~Logan's pov~

The apartment was a mess not in the way of scattered clothes or dirty dishes around,no! That kind of mess didn't bother me. This was a different kind of mess,the silence was suffocating,the apartment was empty, the emptiness suffocated me in a way I wasn't used to.

Ava was gone. I should have seen it coming but now that she has already left, I don't feel good now.

I ran a hand through my hair,my grip tightening at the roots. This was ridiculous. I had no right to feel this way towards her but I couldn't help myself.

But I knew better! My kind of life didn't allow me to have the privilege of letting someone in… not until my father is out of the picture.

A sharp knock on the door. Yanked me out from my wandering thoughts.

Who's it now?

With a heavy sigh I pushed myself from the couch and made my way to the door. Levi stood there,arms crossed eyebrows raised in amusement.

Levi looked exactly like me, he's my younger brother but we've always treated each other like twins. O

  • Against the rules    "Just one date"

    ~Ava’s POV~I stood there frozen, did Logan Carter just ask me on a date?. my heart beating faster against my chest so loudly that I was sure Logan could hear it. He had just asked me out. Logan Carter; the cocky, arrogant, undeniably gorgeous football player had just asked me on a date.My lips still tingled from his kiss, and my brain was struggling to keep up with everything that had just happened. It seemed like I was sent into a frenzy.“I…” My voice came out hoarse, and I cleared my throat. That was so embarrassing! “I don’t know what to say.”Logan’s eyes searched mine, his brows slightly furrowed like he was preparing himself for rejection. “You could start by saying yes,” he said, attempting his usual smirk, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. He was scared.I exhaled loudly, stepping back slightly, needing space to think, because every time he's near me I seem to lose all my abilities to think. Logan wasn’t just some guy asking me out. He was Logan Westbridge Universi

    Ava's povThe next day, Charlotte nearly choked on her cereal when I told her about what happened with Logan."You did what?" She gaped at me from across the kitchen table."I said yes to a date with Logan," I muttered, sipping my coffee, trying to sound casual but inside I was freaking out.Charlotte slammed her spoon down. "Ava! This is huge! Logan doesn’t date. He flirts, he hooks up, and then he moves on."I winced. "Thanks for the reminder.""But," she continued, pointing her spoon at me, "he likes you. Like, actually likes you. I seen the way he looked at you everytime."I frowned. "What do you mean?"Charlotte smirked. "Ava, that boy is whipped. He is glaring at any guy who so much as glanced in your direction whenever you aren't looking. It is so hilarious."I blinked. Logan… jealous? That didn’t seem like him. Am I too dense to understand anything?Before I could overthink it, my phone buzzed.Logan: Be ready at 7. I’m picking you up.I stared at the message, my stomach flip

  • Against the rules    He's different now

    Ava’s POVThe night air was cool as Logan and I walked side by side, the quiet sounds of the city enveloping around us. My fingers curled around the plush wolf he’d tried so hard to win, and I couldn’t help but smile.“So, what’s next?” Logan asked, tossing the last of his fries into his mouth.I raised an eyebrow. “Next? It’s almost midnight, Carter.”“And?” He smirked. “Scared to stay out late?”I rolled my eyes. “I have work tomorrow, unlike you.”Logan placed a hand over his heart, feigning offense. “Are you calling me unemployed?”I gave him a pointed look. “You literally don’t have a job.”“Technically, I do.” He grinned. “I play football. That’s a job.”“Football isn’t a job, it’s a sport,” I shot back.“A sport I get paid for,” he countered.I groaned. “You get scholarship money for it. That’s different.”Logan shrugged. “Details, details.”I shook my head, but I was smiling. Being around him was easy, even when we were arguing.We walked a little longer until we reached a sma

  • Against the rules    Reminder

    Logan’s POVThe gym was empty except for the sound of my fists slamming into the punching bag. Each hit sent a sharp ache up my arm, but I welcomed the pain. It was better than thinking. Better than remembering.After last night, after seeing her, I hadn’t been able to get Ava out of my damn head. The way she looked at me like she saw me for the first time had messed me up more than I wanted to admit.I landed another punch, breathing hard.“You trying to kill the bag or yourself?”I turned to see Aaron leaning against the doorway, arms crossed, his usual cocky smirk in place.What the fuck does he want?I rolled my shoulders. “What do you want?”He strolled in, tossing a football between his hands. “I think you know.”I grabbed my towel, wiping the sweat from my face. “Not in the mood, man.”Aaron let out a mock gasp. “Not in the mood? That’s funny because last time I checked, you had plenty of motivation.”I clenched my jaw. “Drop it.”He grinned. “Come on, Logan. Don’t tell me you

    Ava’s POVThe first thing I did when my salary hit my account was stare at my phone screen in disbelief.$2,000.I wasn’t used to seeing that much money in my account at once. I knew it wouldn’t last long rent, groceries, and bills would take a huge part but for now, I let myself have a moment to feel proud.I’d earned this.The second thing I did was text Charlotte.Me: We’re going apartment hunting today.Charlotte: OMG FINALLY! I’m grabbing coffee. Meet me at campus in 20 minutes!I barely had time to pull on a decent outfit before running out the door. The sun was bright, and for the first time in a while, I felt like things were coming together.I was getting out of Charlotte apartment giving her a space with her boyfriend.“Okay, so I did some research,” Charlotte said, sliding into the booth across from me at the campus café. She had two coffees in her hands one for her, one for me. “I found a few places that are actually within budget.”I took the coffee gratefully. “How much

    Ava’s POVMoving day came faster than I expected.I woke up to the sound of Charlotte banging on my door, her voice too energetic for the early morning.How can she be chirpy so early in the morning?“Rise and shine, apartment owner! Time to move your broke ass out of here!”I groaned, burying my face in my pillow. “Five more minutes.”“Nope.” She yanked my blanket away. “We have a lot to do. Logan’s coming soon, and if he sees you drooling on your pillow, I will never let you live it down and I don't think he'll appreciate that” she winked at meThat got me up.I threw a pillow at her, but she dodged it with a laugh. “Get dressed, loser. I’ll make coffee.”I sighed, dragging myself out of bed.By the time I was dressed and had shoved a piece of toast into my mouth, Logan had already arrived.He leaned against the doorframe, looking way too good in a simple hoodie and jeans. “You ready, nerd?”I rolled my eyes. “You know, normal people say good morning.”“I’m not normal,” he said with

    Ava’s POVCharlotte and I sat at our usual table, her phone in one hand and a fork in the other as she scrolled through something on her feed. I poked at my salad, not really paying attention, until she let out a dramatic sigh.“You know, for someone who just got her own place, you don’t seem very excited,” she pointed out, setting her phone down.I shrugged. “I am. It’s just… a lot.”She studied me for a second before smirking. “Or maybe it has something to do with Logan.”I nearly choked on my drink. “Excuse me?”Before she could respond, a tray dropped onto the table across from us. Logan slid into the seat beside me, followed by Tristan, who took his usual place next to her.“Talking about me again?” Logan teased, stealing one of my fries.I glared at him. “No one was talking about you.”Charlotte snorted. “Lies.”Tristan laughed. “You two are exhausting to watch, you know that?”Logan smirked, completely unfazed. “So, nerd, you coming to the game later?”I sighed. “I have work,

  • Against the rules    The Lie Between Us

    ~Logan’s POV ~The bass in the club thumped so loud I could feel it in my chest.Flashing lights, grinding bodies, and the sharp smell of spilled drinks . Tristan was halfway through his second beer, and Miles was already flirting with a girl in red. Me? I was nursing the same drink I’d been holding for the last hour, mind elsewhere.Ava’s face wouldn’t leave my head.The way she laughed when she teased me. The way her eyes sparkled when she got fired up about law stuff. The way her voice dropped when she was tired, soft and raw and real.And the way Nate looked at her like he already knew he was falling.God, it made my blood boil.“You’re doing that brooding thing again,” Tristan said, sliding into the booth beside me.“Shut up.”“Seriously,” he said, nudging my arm. “You look like someone just kicked your puppy.”I didn’t answer. Miles dropped into the seat across from us, flanked by two girls who disappeared when he saw my face.“What’s with you, man?” Miles asked. “You win the ga

    I had just finished my history class and was heading toward the café when I spotted Charlotte waving frantically.“AVA!” she shouted, practically dragging her boyfriend Tristan by the arm.I smiled and jogged up. “What, is there a fire or just another TikTok recipe you want to try?”“Neither. Look who I found loitering like a lost golden retriever!” she said, grinning as Nate came into view behind her, wearing a hoodie and carrying a smoothie.“Hey,” Nate said, offering me that same warm smile that always made my stomach flip. “Fancy seeing you here, Professor Scary.”Charlotte raised an eyebrow. “Professor what?”“It’s a diner thing,” I muttered.Nate chuckled. “She trained me. Survived my fork-tray fiasco.”“She texted me about it,” Charlotte said, giving me a mischievous look. “Along with the dimple emoji.”I narrowed my eyes. “Charlotte.”“What? I just find it interesting,” she said, casually looping her arm around Tristan’s waist. “That Fork Boy here clearly likes you.”Nate cho

    ~Ava’s pov~Today was a bit boring. No Charlotte in sight as she was busy with Tristan. No Logan and I miss him alot Even though he's coming back today, I couldn't help myself from being lonely.The diner felt too quiet without the lunch chaos, and I was just finishing up a refill run when I heard the bell above the door jingle.I turned, expecting a customer and froze.Logan.Tall, broad, in his usual Titans hoodie and backward cap, looking like he hadn’t just spent the last two days tackling people in another town. His hazel eyes locked on mine the second he spotted me.And just like that, I forgot how to hold a soda pitcher properly.Sometimes I wonder,why does he have that hold on me? Sometimes I completely forget everything around me as my eyes locked with him.“You’re back early,” I said excitedly,my heart skipping.He shrugged like it was no big deal. “Coach cut us loose after the game. Thought I’d surprise you.”“You did,” I said, setting the pitcher down before I dropped it.

  • Against the rules    The New Guy

    ~Ava’s pov~ When I arrived at the diner it was already buzzing with so many people when I tied my apron and stepped behind the counter. The scent of coffee and grease welcomed me like an old friend, and the clatter of plates and cups was oddly comforting. It was a place I was already used to.Logan and Tristan had left early that morning for an out-of-town practice match. The group chat had been blowing up with dumb pictures and bad jokes, and I missed Logan more than I wanted to admit for it being less than twelve hours. Ridiculous.It was just for one day, and I already missed him like crazy.“Ava!” Debra called from the kitchen window, her curly hair tucked under a cap. “I need you to train the new guy. He starts today.”I blinked. “There’s a new guy?”She shoved a name tag toward me. “Nate. Tall. Blonde. Don’t let him drop the soup. He seems clumsy for his own good”.I stifled a laugh and took the tag, pinning it to my apron just as the bell over the door jingled.And there he

    ~Ava pov~If someone in the past had told me that I’d be going to the mall like a normal girl with a boyfriend who treated me like I hung the moon I would’ve laughed until I cried.But here I was. Saturday afternoon. Wearing real jeans. Not Logan’s shirt. And for once, my mascara wasn’t waterproof because I wasn’t expecting to cry today.How life changes.“You need new shoes,” Charlotte declared, arms crossed as we stood outside one of those fancy stores with mannequins. I blinked. “I have shoes.”She gave me a long, questioning look.“You have Logan’s slides and four pair of combat boots that look like they fought in two wars.”“…Excuse you! It's fashion”“They’re tragic.”I sighed. “Fine. But I’m not spending more than…”“Girl, hush. Tristan’s paying.”I stared at her. “What? Why would he pay for me?”She grinned, wicked and proud. “ Okay it was Logan, that said that.It was his idea. ‘Get Ava some proper shoes so she doesn’t show up to your birthday dinner looking like an ancient

    ~Ava's pov~I stared at the man in front of me, my hand still clutching the doorknob like it was the only thing keeping me standing.The silence between us stretched thin. His eyes raked over me judgmental, cold, furious.I shrank back instinctively, pulling Logan’s shirt tighter around me.“Real classy, Ava,” my father sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. “Throwing yourself at the first guy with a bed.”My stomach twisted painfully.Before I could utter a reply, heavy footsteps approached behind me.Logan.“Who the hell are you?” Logan’s voice was sharp, edged with protectiveness. He moved beside me, wrapping a strong arm around my waist without hesitation, pulling me slightly behind him.My father’s lip curled into a sneer.“And who the hell are you?” he shot back. “Another loser she’s using to pay her bills?”The words hit harder than I wanted to admit.I flinched, shame flooding through me.I couldn't even believe if this was my father talking before me.Logan stiffened, hi

    ~Ava’s POV~I wish I could’ve stayed like that forever. Wrapped up in Logan’s arms, feeling the steady rhythm of his heart against my ear, his hand lazily drawing circles on my back.It was easy to forget the rest of the world existed when I was with him.I smiled against his bare chest, feeling a strange kind of peace settle over me the kind I hadn’t felt in years.My phone buzzed somewhere on the nightstand, vibrating against the table.I groaned, not wanting to move, but Logan chuckled and gave me a playful smack on the hip."Better get that, baby," he said, his voice thick with sleep.I stretched, feeling deliciously sore, and reached over to grab it.Charlotte’s name flashed across the screen.I frowned. Why was she calling so early?Sliding off the bed ignoring Logan’s mocking whine as I stole his warmth I padded across the room. I was dressed in nothing but a pair of Logan’s loose basketball shorts and his t-shirt, which hung almost indecently off one shoulder.My neck tingle

    ~Logan’s POV~The first thing I became aware of was the warmth.Soft,Sweet., and Familiar.I shifted slightly, blinking against the early morning light leaking through the blinds.And there she was.Curled against my chest, her head tucked under my chin, her arm thrown lazily across my waist like she belonged there.Like she was meant to be there.My heart clenched painfully in my chest.For a long minute, I just stared at her, afraid to even breathe too loud in case it shattered the fragile peace wrapping around us.She was beautiful.More beautiful than anything I deserved.Her hair was a wild mess against the pillow, her cheeks still flushed from the night before, her lips parted slightly as she breathed in slow, even rhythms.I tightened my arm around her instinctively, pulling her even closer.Mine.She was mine!The thought echoed in my head, loud and possessive.She was mine.And nothing… I mean no one was going to take her from me.I pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, lettin

    ~Logan's POV~The sunlight streamed through the windows of the apartment, but all I could see was her.Still sitting cross-legged on my couch, her hair a messy bun around her head, her eyes were so soft and trusting, even after everything I barely managed to tell her last night.She didn't even freak out as i was expecting. I didn’t deserve her.But selfishly, I wasn’t going to let her go.I pushed myself off the wall where I’d been leaning and crossed the room toward her.She smiled up at me, the kind of smile that made the tight knot in my chest loosen just a little. The kind of smile that lit up my whole world."You doing anything later?" I asked, my voice coming out roughly from lack of sleep and too many emotions.Her head tilted slightly. "No... why?"I smirked and sat on the coffee table in front of her, close enough that our knees brushed."After football practice," I said, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, "I'm taking you out. Proper date. Just you and me
