Chapter Twenty Five - "I Love Logan Maddox?"
___

Avery's P.O.V

"Good work girls. While watching you all, I have noticed a slight change in you, Katie. Are you feeling okay?" The coach asks, directing her attention to the blonde with the glasses and I hold in a snicker.

Well, seeing from how many punches to the face she received today, it seems like she is doing okay.

"Yes, I'm fine." Katie says and the coach nods.

"Well, you haven't really showed that. I am sorry but until you get your head cleared up, Avery will have to take your spot." The coach says and I grin.

Shame, bitch.

"What! No, you can't-"

"It will only be temporary so calm down." The coach says and I roll my eyes.

Sook.

"Good." Katie says and walks off to the bench, grabbing her bag and walking out of the gymnasium. The rest of the squad do the same and I walk out the door with Claire by my side.

Speaking of Claire, after her chat with Henry, she seemed to be in a good mood. She had told me that Henry said she should just wait until Patrick comes up to her and tries to defend himself but until that day comes, Henry advised that Claire should stay away from Patrick. I agree with him though which made Claire certain of her actions and thoughts towards Patrick.

"I'll be back. I have to go talk to Mr Collins about my assignment. I'll meet you in the cafeteria, okay?" I say and Claire nods. I walk away from Claire and turn to corner to bump into the guy I was hoping not to run into today.

"Hey, sunshine." Logan grins and I keep my head down, walking around him and up the stairs. When I reach the top of the stairs though, I feel a rough hand hold my shoulder, making me spin around to face them. I groan and slap Logan's hand away.

"Stop touching me." I say, glaring at Logan and he smirks.

"Why? You like the feel of me touching you anyway." Logan says and I remember how I admitted to liking what happened at my house until we were interrupted by my Aunty. As I look up at Logan, I notice his hand touch my hip and hold onto it. Logan's other hand then runs down arm then gripping at my hip, joining his other hand.

"I will cut your hands off if you touch me again." I threaten and Logan raises an eyebrow when I pinch him, making him let go of my hips.

"But how would I help you?" Logan asks, a smirk on his face and I run my hands down my face in frustration.

"What do I have? A mental illness? Unless I see your diploma, I won't listen to word you say about 'helping' people." I snap and Logan shakes his head, his grin changing into a frown.

"You didn't get it." Logan says and I shove him.

"I got it, Logan, you dirty minded fuck face!" I scream at him and Logan grins.

"You mean sexy imagination, sunshine." Logan winks and I lick my teeth in annoyance.

"Correct me again and I will slap you." I threaten and Logan rolls his eyes.

"God, whats got your panties in a knot?" Logan asks and I let out a frustrated groan.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" I say, holding my hands on my ears as I start to walk away.

I swear, I hate when he does this. He makes me feel so many different emotions in one day and I hate being this moody. It's just not me.

This is what happens when you love someone.

Wait, what-

"Avery, whats wrong?" Logan brings me out of my thoughts and I turn around to face him. When he says my name, I feel like I can't ignore him because he says it as if he is my father and I'm about to get a lecture.

"Nothing. I have to go." I mumble and quickly turning around, running off down the hall towards Mr Collins classroom.

I love Logan Maddox?

Do I really?

This is what happens when you love someone.

This must be some sick joke my brain and heart is playing on me. I can't - I mean, this can't be happening.

I love the fucking bad boy!

"Joshua, can I come in?" I ask, waiting for my brother to open the door. I hear the door nob move and the door swings open, revealing a shirtless Josh.

"Get a t-shirt on." I say and Joshua frowns at me.

"You can't tell me to get a shirt on when I'm in my room-"

"Get a shirt on." I repeat and Joshua sighs, nodding. He grabs a grey singlet and throws it over his body, making me finally enter his room. Joshua closes the door and I sit on his bed while Joshua sits in his black study chair.

"What can I help you with, big sis?" Joshua asks, a small grin on his face.

"First of all, don't ever call me that and secondly, I need advice."

"Thats a first." Josh mumbles and I shrug.

"There is a first for everything." I say and Joshua nods, waiting for me to continue.

"Have you ever been in love?" I ask and Joshua shrugs.

"Yeah, why?" He asks and I sigh, playing with my hands.

"How do you know that you are in love with that person?" I throw another question and Joshua smiles at me.

"I don't know, I guess you just know when you are falling for that person. I used to like this girl named Leah and she was amazing. We were best friends for a while until I knew I loved her. I didn't know how I knew but I guess it just came to me." Joshua says and I nod slowly.

"Why?" Joshua asks and I give him a 'are you kidding me' look and Joshua's smile turns into a grin.

"You love Logan? Holy shit, dude!" Joshua leans forward, his fist curled up, waiting for my fist to hit his. I furrow my eyebrows and push his hand away.

"Why are you acting like this? Where is the protective brother, not the idiotic one?" I ask and Joshua rolls his eyes.

"Very funny, Avery. Anyway, the only reason I am acting like this is because I knew the day would come sooner or later." Joshua says and I sigh, rubbing my hands down my face.

"What do I do?" I ask myself but Joshua being the wierd person he is, he shrugs like I asked him the question.

Idiot.

"Tell him."

"What the hell, no!" I blurt out and Joshua sighs.

"Fine but in a few weeks, I heard that your whole grade is going to a water park..." Joshua grins and I shake my head.

"No way." I say and Joshua looks at me with a straight face.

"Avery, you do know that saying 'get what you want before it's gone'? You have to tell him." Joshua says and I sigh.

"I... I'm scared though." I say and Joshua grabs my hand, squeezing it reassuringly.

"Don't be. I can already see little Avery's and Logan's running around." Joshua winks and I snatch my hand away, standing up.

"You ruined such a good moment, you realise that?" I say and Joshua shrugs, a grin appearing on his face.

"What can I say? I'm not one of those brothers who be all civil and caring during the whole conversation. It's just not me." Joshua says and I roll my eyes, walking to my room.

Get what you want before it's gone.

Get what you want before it's gone.

Get what you want before it's gone.

Joshua's right. I have to tell him before it's too late.

I am so on a roll with these updates, aren't I? Okay sorry, I'm boasting too much. Did you like the chapter? What do you think of Avery's realization? Will everything turn out as planned though? Thoughts?

Okay, if anyone has heard of the Epic Rap Battles on YouTube, please comment below your favourite one! Mine is obviously Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton... but I also like Darth Vader vs Hitler (the third one) so I'm stuck between those two. By the way, if you havent even heard of Epic Rap Battles, please oh please go check them out! They will legitimately make your day/night.

Please vote (press that star, please) and comment.
