10. Dance with Me
DanielIt's the day of the party, and I am standing in front of Logan's house.My throat feels dry, and my heart is beating loudly against my chest: thump, thump, thump.I don't know why I am so nervous. It's just a party with just people.Was it because everyone I've known my whole life would be there? Everyone who never liked me? Maybe.I agreed to meet him at his house because I didn't want him to see the state my house was in. I try to keep it clean as much as possible, but my sister doesn't bother picking up after her. She is still a child, after all.I take a deep breath, count from one to ten, and then ring the bell. I've been to his before, but it still amazes me how huge it is. Calling it a house would be an insult. This is a mansion I only saw in movies.A woman I didn't recognize opened the door this time."Yes?""I...um...is Logan here?" I ask."Yes. You must be Mr. Ortega. Please come in." She steps aside to let me."Tha...thanks. Just Daniel is fine," I say awkwardly. No

11. Come and Fight Me
Logan I watch Natasha drag Daniel away to the dance floor. He doesn't particularly look thrilled about it, but I don't try to help. Daniel is a big boy, so he can take care of himself, can't he? I see Felix flirting with some girl, so I walk toward him instead. "Hey, you made it!" Felix waves at me with a big smile. "Where is Daniel? Did you bring him?" He asks. "Yep, he's flirting with Natasha." "No shit." Felix laughs. "That's not funny, Felix. Once Natasha put her claws into somebody, there's no going back for that poor sap. She will drain all of his energy until there's nothing left," I declare. "Oh, you're being dramatic, Logan. Natasha is not that bad. And Daniel seems like he's strong enough to handle it." Felix has no clue, I think to myself. But I couldn't let Daniel mess around for too long. Francis could be here any second now. And when he does, I need Daniel to corner him and scare the living shit out of him. That's what I hired him for! I hung out with Felix for

12. Hanging Out
Logan"Where are you going?" I call after Daniel as he storms out the door. I wonder if he is mad at me for making him swing at Francis. I'll admit, it made me happy to see that asshole in pain, but Daniel doesn't look like he enjoyed hitting Francis at all."I am going home," he announced."What do you mean you are going home? The party had just started!" I exclaim."I don't care about the dumb party. I can't believe you made me hit that guy. I've never been into violence," he mumbled.Is this guy for real?"I didn't make you do it. You saw how he was treating me? That guy is a tool," I said. "He deserved the punch. He is lucky you didn't do worse.""But why did Francis say you deserved to be treated like that? What did you do to him?" Daniel demands to know.I don't look him in the eyes. Francis and I do have a history together, and I might've done something wrong in the past, but I didn't want to talk about it with Daniel."It's nothing. He was just bullshitting," I said.Daniel lo

13. Get Him Out
LoganI look for Danny in the cafeteria, but he's not there. I don't see him in gym class either. I wonder what happened since I left him last night. Is he feeling sick? But I didn't see him drink or anything."Hey, have you seen Danny?" I asked a guy named Sean at the gym because I know that he has a class with him."Who?" he squinted his eyes at me."Danny, I mean Daniel Ortega. Have you seen him around today? Did he not show up to school?" I ask irritably."Oh, that guy? Why are you looking for him? You are not friends with him, are you? I heard he's violent," Sean said.I scoff. "That's just a stupid rumor. He is not violent," I tell him. I felt no need to lie about Daniel anymore. It's pretty ridiculous that people think of him as some kind of a monster when he is nothing but a kind person.If anything, I am the one who is the monster.If only everyone knew who I really am. They would all feel stupid for judging Danny based on his looks.They'll be real sorry."No, he really is v

14. Happy Birthday
Two weeks later, it was the day of my 18th birthday.I wake up feeling anxious because I don't know what will come. What exactly is my grandfather trying to put me through? The way he was acting that day, it didn't seem like it was going to be anything good.I take a quick shower, then go downstairs. I find my mom waiting for me at the table with a cake lit with candles, and she is smiling brightly.I'm sure her smile will be wiped away after she finds out that I agreed to go on the trip with grandpa."Happy birthday, Logan!" she chirps."Happy birthday!" my father and my sister Mia chime in.I look at their smiling face and, yet again think about how I will break the news. This is not going to be a good day if mom is angry."Thank you, everyone. You didn't have to get me a cake," I said."You are finally an adult now," mom remarks."Yes, I am. Does that mean you will now let me make my own decisions?"Mom narrows her eyes. "Yes, that's correct, but why don't I like the way you're ask

15. You are a Jerk
DanielI don't know why I came, maybe because I felt obligated because he bailed me out of jail.Yes, that's it. That's the real reason.I would've felt guilty if I had refused his invitation after what he did for me. Although, it was sort of his fault I ended up getting arrested!I never planned on punching Francis. I have no vendetta against the guy; what happened between Logan and him is none of my business.But when I saw him punch Logan in the gut, I couldn't control my anger and moved fast to defend him. I couldn't let Logan get hurt, even though he sometimes acted like an annoying brat. "I didn't think you'd actually come," Logan says after a while."Yeah, well...I owe you for bailing me out," I said.He shakes his head no. "That's not true. You punched Francis for me, so we are even.""What the hell did you do to him anyway?" I ask. I am ready to learn the truth about Logan. I know Francis isn't just a bully because he only seems to target Logan."Nothing!""You are full of s

16. Get the Job Done
**Trigger warning:** This chapter contains violence.Logan"Wait, are you leaving?" Daniel looks at me with confusion.I can see why he would be confused because I invited him to my house and now I'm trying to leave somewhere. That does look weird."I don't have to leave right this second. Just wait here. I'm going to go talk to my grandfather.""I am coming with you," Daniel said. "I forgot to thank him properly the other day for bailing me out.""Bailing you out?" My mother squints her eyes. "You went to jail, Daniel? What happened? Are you in some kind of trouble?" she looks at him with worry."No, mom, he's not in trouble. Daniel went to jail because he was rescuing me from my bully," I tell her."Oh my God. Logan, why didn't you tell me that you were being bullied in high school? I need to talk to your principal first thing tomorrow.""Mom...this is why I didn't tell you. You are way too overprotective. You don't need to talk to my principal," I say irritably. There I go, opening

17. Whose Blood is It?
DanielSomething is going on with Logan's family.I'm not sure what, but something about his grandfather didn't rub me the right way today. He seemed like a nice guy before, but today I felt a dark aura surrounding him.Not that I believe in things like that, but my abuelita does. She always tells me to stay away from people who have negative energy surrounding them. That's what I felt with Logan's grandpa today. Purely dark and negative energy.It makes me worry about Logan. What if he is in some kind of trouble?I can't imagine what kind of trouble he could be in. His family is filthy rich! So finding solutions to every problem must be easy for him. Or maybe I was judging him too quickly.Logan's mom Serena didn't let me and Trisha leave until we had something to eat, so I ended up staying for dinner. Logan was still not back by then. After dinner, I excused myself and took Trisha home.I heard someone knock around 4:30 am.I put Trisha to bed and went to sleep around midnight, but

18. Don't Die Young
LoganWhen I came to my senses, I was looking up at my grandfather.His blue eyes are dark and full of disappointment."What happened?" I mumbled."You passed our right after doing the job. How are you supposed to take over my empire one day if you pass out at a sight of a little blood?" he barked.A little blood? He must be joking.I look down at my chest as it feels wet and sticky. Just as I thought, it was covered in blood. Grandpa and his men don't seem phased by it, but I am thoroughly grossed out."He was writhing like a headless chicken, grandpa. Don't act like it was nothing. Is he dead?" I ask him grimly."No, he is fine. Bruce bandaged him up and sent him his way. After that, he will think twice before stealing from me again," grandpa said."Is this how you always get people to give your money back?" I ask.Grandpa shakes his head no. "I've done worse to people. This guy got off easy."What can be possibly worse than losing a finger?"Anyway, maybe you aren't cut out for thi

19. Nightmares
DanielMy throat feels dry, but I manage to let my voice out."Wait!"Logan halts, then slowly turn around to face me again. "What's up?""I didn't say you had to leave," I declare. I just need some time to process this, but I need him to be here to answer all my questions."After everything I told you about me, you still want me to stay?" Logan looks at me with surprise."Ye...yea...just sit down. I am trying to figure this out. So the guy you killed...""He is not dead," Logan corrects me."Okay...the guy you hurt really badly. Does he have a family?" I asked. I don't know why I wanted to know. I probably won't like the answer.Logan shrugged. "I have no idea. I was told not to ask these kinds of questions. His personal life is irrelevant. My job was to scare the living shit out of him."I gulp. I could tell Logan didn't feel much remorse, and that worries me. Is he a sociopath?"And you don't feel bad at all? Did you enjoy it?" I feel dizzy. I still can't wrap my head around this.
