I woke up in a pool of sweat from the dream I had just had, it's 2:32 in the morning. I decided to go and get a drink of water from downstairs to help me calm down, as I started to walk down the stairs I heard a strange noise. It sounded as though someone was in the living room downstairs. I creeped down the stairs as best as I could so I wouldn't make any noise but on the second to last step the stairs creaked and the noise stopped. I was scared out of my mind, I turned the corner when all of a sudden there was a sharp pain in my chest. There was a knife in my chest that was being held by her. Who is"her"? Her name is Meredith and she is my ex-girlfriend that I broke up with a week ago. She was crazy, she cut herself to get attention from others and when I broke up with her the next day she came up to me and dug her fingers in my arm and said "Seven Days". I had no clue what it meant, and I didn't really care. But I just figured out what she meant as I fell to the floor. I looked up and saw her take the knife out of my chest, take the blade to her throat and slit it. I heard a loud screaming but I couldn't see anything anymore, all I could see was total blackness.

I woke up and I was in a large bright light room with a very clean smell. The air was filled with the sounds of beeping machines and very monotone voices. I opened up my eyes and someone was at my side, it was my mother. She was sleeping so I sat up trying not to wake her up. I walked out of that room and I was in a hospital, a doctor rushed up to me and told me to go back to my room so I did that. About 15 minutes later another doctor came in and told ,me what had happened.

"Hello Aleks, My name is Doctor McKinnley but you can just called me doc if you would like," he said with a smile on his face, I could tell he was trying to lighten the mood

"So what happened last night was that Meredith had snuck into your home to try and take you away from here but when she heard you coming down the stairs she got scared so she hid behind the wall. Now when you turned the corner she stabbed you in your chest just barley missing your heart." I felt my chest and noticed the large stitched up wound,

"After she stabbed you, she slit her throat. We were able to revive her and she has been asking to see you." I looked at him surprised, how is she still alive? She slit her carotid artery right in front of me.

"Are you kidding me?" I said with anger in my voice.

"She should be--" I was all of a sudden cut of from speaking when I heard someone scream my name.

"ALEKS! I WILL GET YOU! YOU WILL BE MINE IN THE ETERNAL DEPTHS OF HELL!" Meredith screamed at the top of her lungs. The nurses had her strapped down on a gurney and as they passed the door to my room she looked at me with a demonic grin on her face. The doctor turned and faced me.

"Aleks you will be okay, she will be admitted into a mental institution soon." I was furious at this, it was probably for the cutting" problem. The doctor noticed I was mad.

"It's not because of those cuts on her arm, it's because of the mental issues she has. Well she would be in a prison, San Quintin to be exact but she will have a physiatrist there and she will be monitored 24/7" I was now very happy. All of a sudden the alarms went off and the doors locked, over the P.A. system there was an announcement.

"Come out, Come out, wherever you are Aleks! I will find you!" The voice, Meredith. At this point in my head I am thinking Why am I the one that had to have a crush on her and ask her out? And why am I the one the pain is being thrown at? I did nothing to her.

"We will have to get Aleks out of this hospital now before she can be hurt anymore. I will have to call Logan, she is our special security. He will get Aleks out fast and safe." Doctor McKinley turned around and dialed a number into the phone and in about five minutes there was a knock on the window. Doctor McKinley open the window and in jumped a young man. He was slightly taller than me and had short, brown hair.

"Is the patient safe enough to where we can take them out of this window. My car is just out there and I can drive them to---" There was a loud crash and the window of the door broke and shattered and there was Meredith.

"We have to get her out now!" They picked me up and "threw" me out of the window and me and Logan ran to his car and off we went. Where we were going? I had no clue but I didn't care, as long as I was getting away from the she-devil. I eventually fell asleep in the car, but I knew I was safe.

It seemed to be only a few minutes later but I woke up in a loft apartment. It was now night time and through the large windows in the loft you could see the leo and libra constellation. I am a leo, brave, loyal, a natural born leader. I heard footsteps coming near me so I sat up in the bed I was in, the door opened and in came Logan.

"Hey, how are you doing?" he asked me in a calm voice, I attempted to speak but words would not come out. I was stunned by him.

"I... am... I am fine... " My stutter was unbelievable.

"My name is Logan, and you are Aleks correct?" he asked

"Yes, Aleks. Hello Logan, you are very... handsome." I responded. For some reason I recognized him from somewhere but I could not quite put a finger on it.

"Well thank you Aleks, I have some food prepared in the kitchen if you would like to come and eat." I was starving, it seemed like I haven't eaten in days. Logan and I walked to the kitchen and there on the marbled countertop was as platter of sushi, Avocado Maki and to the right of the platter was green tea.

"I don't know if you like sushi, if you don't I can make you something else." he looked worried.

"No sushi is awesome, Avocado Maki is the best and green tea is awesome. Thank you." he looked relieved

"So, tell me a little bit about yourself Aleks." he asked me with a lingering smile on his face.

"Well, I am 17 years old. I love dogs and sushi. I am a leo and my constellation is high and bright in the sky. I am bi and play the violin. How about you Logan?" I felt a wave of relief come off my chest like I was happy to tell her some of those things.

"Well let me see here, I am 19. I prefer dating women and am a libra, my constellation is right by yours in the sky right now." he smiled. I all of a sudden had butterflies in my stomach from looking at him.

"Can I ask you what happened?" Logan asked, my stomach dropped a tiny bit but I had to tell him at some point.

"Well it's a long-ish story. I had a girlfriend and I broke up with her about a week ago because I caught her cheating on me and she cut for the attention from others. Then the day after at school she came up in front of me and said Seven Days which at the time I had no clue what it ment. Then Seven days later I got up in the middle of the night and when I went downstairs and turned the corner she stabbed me in the chest and then slit her throat. Then today I woke up in the hospital, Meredith was still alive and then she got loose and tried attacking me." I said trying not to show any anger or sadness.

"I am so sorry Aleks, but may I ask what does Meredith look like?" Logan replied.

"Well she is tall, I would say 5'10". She has short hair and brown eyes." When I said that it seemed as though Logan's stomach dropped.

"Aleks, when I was in school still I had a girlfriend her name was Margret. She is just like you described and what happened to you, happen to me as well when I broke up with Margaret. She cut for the attention and cheated so of course I broke up with her. Then she came up to me and said Seven Days as well. Seven days later after Lacrosse practice in the locker room my throat got slit and she stabbed herself in the stomach. I was immediately taken away and I had to change the way I look." After Logan stopped talking I could see tears coming out of his eyes. I walked over to him and gave him a hug to try and comfort him

"You're okay now Logan, everything will be okay." I said in a calming voice.

"Tomorrow we will have to go shopping for some clothes and make you look different." Stated Logan. I was not going to argue not to although I would miss some things about my style but maybe I would like the new one. Soon after that we went to bed, I slept on the couch and Logan went to the bed.

In the morning we woke up and got ready, we took a drive to the local mall to get new clothing and to get stuff to change my look. First we went to Rue 21 where I had to change the way I was styled. I went from sporty and wearing boys clothing to being edgy. I now wore skinny jeans, crop tops, tight t-shirts and leather jackets with high tops and converse. Then we went to the barber shop, I went from having long black hair to having a short pixie cut that we dyed brown with green highlights. I honestly was loving the new look, it was more me. I was forced to wear girly clothing when I was younger, then when I had more freedom all I wore was boys clothes then I had the perfect look. I was unrecognizable. When I came out of the barber shop (Logan was in the food court) I walked up to him and his jaw dropped.

"What? Is there something wrong?" I said in a worried voice

"No it's just... You look amazing." he replied. When he said that I blushed heavily and smiled.

"Th-- thanks." Uh-Oh my stutter was back.

As Logan and I walked back to her apartment he got a call on his cell phone. It was doctor McKinley, during their conversation he had a worried look on his face. When they we done talking he handed the phone over to me...

"Aleks this is Doctor McKinley, I need you to listen to me. Meredith escaped from the hospital and is coming for you. She has been spotted all over town armed and dangerous, last we knew she was at the science lab and she took many toxic chemicals and ingested them. When she was still at the hospital we tried to strap her down to the gurney again after she drank those chemicals but she has developed superhuman strength. I need you to stay with Logan and keep a low profile. Got it?" he explained in a very dramatic voice. I was scared out of my mind now.

"Yes Doctor" I said in as calm of a voice as I could. I handed the phone back to Logan and he talked to Doctor McKinley for a few more minutes then hung up. He looked back at me.

"We need to get back as soon as possible without being seen." stated Logan, he started walking very fastly towards the apartment building in which he and now I lived for the time being and I followed in the same swift motion. We were both on high alert, but just as we entered the building I caught her out of the corner of my eye. I pulled Logan in the building as soon as I could and pulled us into the corner. We were close together, our bodies as if were connected.

"What the he--" he started to exclaim but I cut him off

"Meredith is right there." I explained. Logan walked closer to the glass door and looked outside where there was a tall girl with short hair sitting down in the park across the street from the building. She was looking around as if she was a hunter look for the perfect buck to shoot.

"We need to get upstairs now... before she can find us." I stated to Logan. We swiftly moved towards the elevator making sure our faces were covered from view of Meredith. Logan pressed the 19 button on the elevator signaling we were needing to head to the 19th floor. Just then as we started the journey up Meredith walks into the building and walks up to the concierge.

"Excuse me sir, have you seen a teen girl with long black hair wearing boyish clothing?" She questioned the Concierge.

"No Ma'am I can not say that I have." the concierge replied. Logan and I sighed with relief.

We continued our journey to the 19th floor and not long later made it back to the apartment. We went to the balcony and watched Meredith exit the building and disappear into the distance. Again Logan and I sighed with relief and we looked at each other.

"Logan, I think I need to talk to you some more about... well me." I looked into his eyes.

"That's okay Aleks, let's take a seat on the couch inside." he said as I followed him back into the apartment. We sat down and I immediately spoke.

"Okay this is going to sound weird about why I am telling you this but--" I was cut off because all of a sudden I felt a pain in my side, I lifted up my shirt and all of a sudden gills appeared. Then my hands started to feel hot so I ran outside again the just in time as I got outside my hands burst into flames. But I was in no pain, I looked at Logan with a worried look. What is happening to me?!

"Okay Aleks your okay, everything is fine. See what is happening right now is your morphing. This only happens to people who have suffered from multiple traumatic events and suffered from a near death experience. The same thing happened to me when I was almost killed by Margaret I mean, Meredith." Logan tried to calm me down and I looked at him with a scared look in my eyes. Then he pulled her shirt up just to his upper chest, gills were there and then he dropped her shirt and his hands started warming up and soon enough fire shot out of them as well.

"The mix of water breathing and fire is highly rare, it only happens to those who experienced the most pain in there life both physically and mentally." Logan explained once more. To be honest this was really cool. When I was done with the "episode" type of thing we went back inside to start the conversation over again.

"Okay anyway, it's going to sound weird why I am telling you this but I just feel as if you need to know. It's my life story kind of and if you don't want to hear it speak now or forever hold your peace." I stated in a laughing matter. He smiled but said nothing to I continued...

"I was born on August 19, 2001. I have an older sister Morgan who had a allergic reaction and passed away when I was seven. I excel in multiple things such as violin and wrestling and read a little too much. I love to bake anything in this world and I guess now I am special. Like you." I stopped speaking, Logan looked at me with his gorgeous eyes.

"Well I feel it is only mandatory that I tell you about myself now as well. Lets see, I was born on October 13, 1999. I have a sister who was taken from my parents because they were drug addicts but I was old enough to survive on my own so they did not take me. I was in Lacrosse and I played the guitar. I am special as well as you know by now. And it seems that I am falling in love with someone the more I get to know about that person." He paused his speech and looked at me, then started to speak again...

"Aleks, you are that person that I seem to be falling in love with." I looked at him confused. Me? I know I just said that I excel in certain things but no, it can't be me.

"No that can't be you have to be joking. I mean look at me?! I am ugly and I dressed like a boy and I dated a girl. Normal people would not find that very attractive." I contradicted what he previously said.

"Aleks everything you said is not true, your amazing from what I have seen and known so far. Your beautiful, when you came up to me in the mall my jaw has never dropped like that over a women before. Aleks, you are nothing like what you think you are." he said back to me. My eyes started to water and I had a warm feeling in my heart. I never knew someone could make you feel this way.

Logan stared at me until he noticed I was crying, he took me in his arms and just held me.

"Everything is going to be okay Aleks." I looked up at him and he looked back at me then brought me in close. I felt safe in his arms, like there was absolutely no danger in the world. But there was, there was now for both of us and it was the same thing. Is that what we were bonding over? Just having a similar story? I really hoped that was not the case. Logan loosened his grip around me and brought up a fun idea...

"Wanna watch a movie Aleks?" he said with a cheerful tone of voice. It did not seem like a bad idea.

"Sure, sounds good" I said laughing away my tears.

"What do you like?" he responded also laughing. I really liked the Divergent movies, and the book series as well.

"Do you have Divergent?" I asked him, he looked around in the cabinets and pulled out a DVD case titled Divergent.

"Can you put this in the blu-ray player for me while I get some snacks and drinks?" asked Logan, I took the DVD out of his hand and he grabbed a bag of popcorn from the cupboard and tossed it in the microwave then disappears into a room back towards the bedroom. He came out with a bottle of white wine. He looked at me...

"Hey Aleks, I know you are technically not old enough to drink but if you would like some, I sure wouldn't mind." he said with a grin on his face, I have never had wine but it was worth a try.

"Sounds good." I said smiling. He grabbed two glasses from a different cupboard and brought them over to the couch. Not long later the microwave went off and I went to get the bag of fresh steamy popcorn. Logan poured the wine into the glasses, and we started the movie. I have always been infatuated with the Divergent Series both the books and movies. Now that I am finally watching the movie again I see a resemblance between Logan and the main male character "Four" They were both strong, olive skin tone, deep eyes, passionate and tall. I think I am falling in love just like Logan is. Just then I notice that the movie is almost over, I had been day dreaming throughout it. Logan seemed very interested in the movie. When the ending credits came on I noticed he was looking at me.

"What?" I asked him staring into his deep, amazing eyes.

"Is there some--" I was cut off, Logan brought me in close and kissed me. And I kissed him back. He pulled away and started to speak again...

"Sor-- I did-- I should have asked before I did that." He said, I smiled.

"It's fine  I liked it actually." I replied, me liking that? People always thought I was gay, and I thought that for a little bit as well. But if I liked that that must mean I am not fully gay... Right? Me and Logan decided to call it a night and go to sleep, he picked me up and carried me into the bedroom and basically tucked me in like a child but that was okay.
