Sophie
Dylan and Troy walk angrily, tossing the drinks at the feet of the boys who are laughing away, careless of who is looking at them. Lexie and I run behind them to prevent a fight.
"What the hell is your problem man? Why the hell did you pour GHB inside our drinks you fucking morons?" Dylan glares at them grabbing one of the guys by his shirt, evident he has taken some of the drug himself by the way he carelessly laughs away. "Yeah, why the hell did you. . .wait! What? What the hell is GHB?" Troy squints his eyes in confusion as he holds the other chuckling idiot by his shirt.
Dylan's hand held the guys shirt tightly, his other hand held high in a fist by the guy stumbling over.
"GHB, it's gamma. . . .-hydroxybutyric acid. It's a generic substance, used on people with deep depression. But it causes them to suffer hallucinations and can even make a person fall unconscious. These assholes were probably thinking of having the chance to get into Sophie or Alexa's pants, weren't you?" He pulls the guy close to his face, but he just giggles and battles with his own body to stay upright. Both guys chuckle away, but just as Dylan is ready to punch him in the face Logan steps in front of him stopping his punch in mid-air.
"Enough! Either all of you behave or leave. This is my friend's party, I don't want to see any of this childish bullshit." He glares angrily between Dylan and Troy. Dylan harshly pulls his hand away and lets go of the guy, making him fall to the ground.
"Whatever, I'm out." Dylan turns clenching his jaw and walks a few feet away towards me. Dylan’s intention was for Logan to let the situation go, but seeing me by Dylan's side makes his blood boil. I know he is probably pissed off that I'm here.
He walks towards us and looks furious at me, making me become startled to see him here completely intoxicated.
"I should have known these idiots were with you, Soph! You are nothing but trouble you know that? Why the hell did you come here? Came to ruin my night before the beginning of school tomorrow?" He raises his hands to the sides taking one step back.
"Whatever you say, Logan! I didn't even know you were going to be here, ok. But don't worry, we were just leaving." I look uto the side and see Amber making out with a guy on the balcony. I chuckle, nodding my head and folding my hands over my chest. I should of known, unbelievable.
"Yeah, like I'll believe you didn't know I was here Sophie! I go to every freaking party. You, on the other hand, are a loner. Never get invited to a single party. So it's easy to say that the one surprised here is me. So now, why don't you and your friends get-"
"Enough Logan. As Sophie said, we were leaving. Now, why don't you be a good boy...and let it go, ok?" Troy steps in front of him, clenching his jaw and fisting his hands. I hold Troy's arm and slowly pull him back, seeing that both boys stand face to face.
"Troy, let it go. Let's just leave, ok?"
"Yeah Troy, listen to your little pet and leave." Logan's veins engorge, the anger inside of him increasing with each second. But Troy doesn't budge. "Troy, man, we should go. We can take the girls to get something good to eat. Maybe take a walk down by the lake! What do you say?" Dylan suggests.
Troy holds his ground, but even though he hates to admit it, he's already becoming soft-hearted with Dylan and raises his head and steps away. "Mark my words pretty boy, Sophie is not alone. She has me to look after her, and now. . ." He wraps an arm over my shoulders and another over Dylan.
"Now she has Dylan too. Right, Dylan?" Dylan smiles and grabs my hand and pulls me towards him, making me gasp and stumble a little, making me raise my hands and placing them on Dylan's chest.
"Definitely! Sophie, you can definitely count on me." He tells me, giving me a tight squeeze and kissing the top of my head. "Oh please! You all make it sound like she's the fucking victim all the time. She's just as bad, and she's an evil prankster. But you know what? Do whatever you want with your new toy, Sophie. He'll probably dump you before you know it." He says as he begins to walk away, my eyes fill with a treacherous tear, making me look away.
Troy quickly grabs Logan by his shoulder turning him around and punching him right on his jaw. Just as quickly, both boys begin to exchange punches again. In the midst of all the commotion, somehow I end up being pushed inside the pool. The water at this time is ice cold and though I am an avid swimmer, I get an awful cramp on my leg and submerge underwater, unable to swim up.
Before I can reason, Logan launches himself inside the water and swims underneath. Swimming towards me as the pain keeps me under. He comes in front of me and holds me tight against his chest, ordering me to look at him with his free hand. When I stop squirming around, he quickly pushes off with his feet and brings me to the surface. We both gasp for air as the cold wind hits our face.
I cough and he holds me steady with his hand looking at me with concern, examining me as we both sit by the steps on the inside of the pool.
"Sophie, look at me? look at me Soph, Are you ok?" He asks me frantically, holding my face with both of his hands as I gasp for air and cough. I nod but continue to cough, my body shivers from the cold breeze hitting me.
"Sophie! Fuck, I am so sorry Soph! This is all my fault. I should have listened to you and walked away. You almost drowned in there, baby girl!" Troy and Alexa quickly pull me out, while I continue to cough, limping from one foot as the pain of my leg cramp is still lingering on the back of my foot.
"And you!" Alexa glares furiously at Logan.
"None of this would have happened if you weren't such a jerk to her all the time anyway. And just because you pulled her out, does not mean you are on good terms with us Logan. You're still an asshole, and honestly, it should of been you drowning in that water instead of Sophie." She pushes him on his chest making him step back. He lowers his head and stares at me.
"Sophie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to go this far. I know I pick on you all the time, but, it doesn't mean I hate you, honest. I'm. . . .I'm sorry, Soph!"
"Sophie? Maybe we should just go now," Dylan says softly to me as he takes off his hoodie making me put it on.
"It's fine, Logan. Just, forget it, ok!" Though I'm thankful he rescued me, I can't truly believe in any of his apologies, nor bear to forgive him for all the nasty pranks he's done to me. At least, not yet anyway.

**Bonus Chapter** AUTHOR'S NOTE: Please note that this bonus chapter is pretty much a summary of what the sequel will be about. It will seem there are lots of gaps in between and so many unanswered questions, but you will be able to read the in-between soon as I begin posting the sequel.

Troy insisted. "You can ask Lexie. She's your best friend too." "Ugg, you're so hopeless. Childish and selfish Sophie. How can you say that? Besides, Lexie is already a bridesmaid or groom maid. . . whatever you want to call it. Please, Sophie!" I grunted and closed my eyes in surrender over the phone. "Oh, you are such a drama queen. Fine, I will be your maid of honor." He screamed with joy over the phone, deafening my ear.
SophieIt's been almost seven years since I left Lakeview. I never thought I'd go back. But terrible news pulled me back to that old town.A few months after Logan had found me in Los Angeles, four years ago, I received a phone call from dad. Mom had gotten sick again. But this time, they didn't catch it in time. She hid it from everyone, including dad. No one, not even I was ready for what was to come.Mom died just a year after I went to see her. She was so happy to finally spend more than a few days' worth of time with Nathan. All we did was talk about him when we are on the phone. She simply adores him. But it was so hard to see her in pain. Cancer had come back to her bones that time, I could still hear her crying from the pain, saying her body felt as if it was on fire. I don't understand how life could be so cruel.She was my best friend, my biggest support, and my shoulder to cry on. She finally passed away a few days before mother's d
Three Years Later:SophieI walked towards the cafe I work for a few hours after class. I was too tired to work today. It's getting harder every day to even get out of bed.I have no energy. My days are crazy. I can't sleep at night, yet I want nothing to do but sleep during the day. My budget scares me. I don't even know how I am doing this? Dad keeps sending me money, though I refuse to touch it unless I have no other option.I dropped most of my classes for now. I can't focus- it's as if my mind gets clouded. I feel like a damn airhead. I had to go see a doctor, and she gave me so many vitamins because she says I am underweight and need to nourish my body. The vitamins taste so gross. I especially hate the iron pills.But if I don't take them, I will never get rid of my anemia. It will be bad for me if that happens."Hey, darling. You look so gorgeous today. Look at you glowing like the diva you are!" Mrs. Cl
Sophie"I can't believe we are finally graduating tomorrow. This seems so surreal." Lexie whispered to my left as we sat in the auditorium while listening to instruction for tomorrow's ceremony. Logan sat to my right, holding my hand with our fingers interlaced. I could tell he was nervous. Our valedictorians this year are Russell Knight and Emily Mitchell. They tied perfectly for the grand title.Graduation came by too fast if you ask me. Before we knew it, we were hit with finals and SAT's, final projects, and more.We ran around getting caps, gowns, graduation outfits. Logan and the rest of the gang, as well as me, volunteered for the prom decoration group, it turned out beautifully. I won't go insomuch detail, just know Logan was amazing. We had matching colors on my dress and his tie. After, we went to the cabin and spent all weekend there. He wanted us to go to the house he's building by the lake, but there were major setbacks, and we didn't want to be in
SophieI woke up hopeful today. I knew Logan would be off to be with his mom at the courthouse. This is the time when I woke up begging God for a miracle. I wanted things to work out for them. I miss Ashley so much, and I know she must be missing her mom and Logan. They deserve to be together. I just hope that Mr. Spencer can see that in time.He picked me up from home and gave me a ride to school before leaving. I gave him a quick kiss and got off the car. I waved at him as he sped off to Mr. Mitchell's office. He had called him this morning to tell him he had big news for him. I hoped it was good news, Logan could really use a turn to all of the bad things that have been happening lately.I decided to send him a quick message before entering my second class and told him that everything was going to be ok.Sophie- Hi Baby. Good morning. I just wanted you to know I love you. Things are going to be ok, you'll see. I'll see you after school, ok?
Logan "I know mom, I was going to go back to school. That was my plan. But, then uncle Danny stopped me at the lobby. He told me to wait for him so I could take Ashley with me to get some ice cream. Which is why she is now covered in chocolate. You know she can't eat chocolate ice cream without getting it all over herself!" Ashley socked me on my arm as I made fun of her. She had a huge chocolate ice cream stain on the top of her dress. I tried to avoid the menacing look on mom's face as she stood before me with her arms crossed next to uncle Danny and Derreck. Ashley and I were in the middle of our second scoop when mom walked in looking for us. She looks over towards uncle Danny, I don't her arms, and places one hand over her hip. "Uh, in my defense, it was better for Logan to keep her company than for her to be out in the lobby all alone. Wouldn't you agree?... Derreck?" He looks at mom first and then towards Derreck for reinforce
