"What is the last thing you remember?" The doctor asked. I was supposed to go for a check up the next day.

"I don't remember anything to be honest." I replied. I felt something though. I was feeling as if I was missing out a very important information.

"It's okay, it's normal. Just take these pills regularly." She said after examining me.

"There's no other problem, right?" Logan asked who came with me.

"No. She's all good. Just try to remember the moments before you were injected. It may help but don't put strain." She said and I nodded.

We both got up after thanking her and left her cabin.

"Logan, I feel like I'm forgetting something really important, but I just can't remember." I said as soon as we left the room.

"Hey, it's completely okay. You don't need to strain yourself." He said putting his arms around my neck and kissing my temples.

We reached our car in the parking lott when I got a message from Jason.

"Buy a new sim card and throw this one away. She knows your number and it's very risky."

I got nervous as soon as I read it. If she knows my number then she can track me anytime, which is one of the least priority. I switched off my phone and dropped it on the ground.

"Oops-" I acted as if it was an accident. Logan looked at me and then at the phone.

The phone was completely broken and I destroyed the sim card with my legs too.

"Do you know this is the fourth phone of yours since you've been here?" He asked shaking his head.

"Yeah, I wonder what happened to the other three though?" I acted as if I didn't know and rolled my eyes.

"Oh yeah, who knows." He chuckled and I shook my head.

Suddenly my head started spinning and i lost my balance a bit. Flashes of a guy sitting in a car with a cap came in front of my eyes. I couldn't process the look, it was all blur.

"Hey, hey, are you okay?" Logan held me

"Yeah, just a bit dizzy. Let's go from here." I said and he immediately made me sit in the car and sat behind the wheels.

I wish I could remember who that guy was.

***

"We're going home?" I asked as we drove off the hospital.

"Yep, why? Do you wanna go somewhere else?"

"Maybe."

Logan heard me and directed the car in a different way. After 15 minutes, he stopped the car near a lake. I smiled knowing that he knew I love places which has water and trees. It gives me peace.

We got out of the car and he held my hands, taking me towards the lake. I was still feeling a bit dizzy but that was okay as I was with the guy who makes me feel better, always. We sat down on the ground, near a rock and I inhaled the fresh air. The whole place was beautiful. The water, tall trees with short plants, rocks and just few people around. I looked at Logan, who was also enjoying the beauty of the place. I kept my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around me.

"Feeling better?" He asked, caressing my hair.

"Much better." I said. Indeed it felt much better. I looked at him and smiled. He smiled back and kissed my lips softly. I reciprocated and deepened the kiss while his hand was caressing my back.

We broke the kiss and I again kept my head on his shoulder.

"Logan, when are we going back to your house?" I asked. I was missing that place. His house was the best part of Mexico, after him.

"Don't know yet. After I get the signal that the course is clear, then maybe we can leave." He said.

"What about my college?"

"Don't worry, you'll get the recovery classes. Your dad's people talked to the management." He said and I nodded.

We both became silent and kept admiring the scenery.

"Logan, can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Of course, baby." He replied and kissed my head.

"You've done your schooling right?" He nodded.

"Then why the hell are you doing this job?" I asked and got up, to look at him. I could see him getting tensed as soon as I asked this.

"What do you mean?" He played around.

"How is that your house, Logan if you're just a bodyguard?" I asked directly.

"I work for the Mafia, it's obvious to buy a house like that with the money I make." He said, avoiding eye contact.

"You can do so many things with the money, why doing a job of a bodyguard? Wait, why are you even working for the Mafia at the first place?" I looked at him cautiously.

He looked somewhere else as soon as he listened to my question.

"Logan, say something."

"Um I-" He was about to say something when his phone started ringing.

He sighed in relief which I saw when the phone rang as he didn't get time to answer my question. He picked up the call and got tensed immediately after what he heard. I looked at him with suspicion.

"Okay, I'm coming right now." He hung up and called someone again.

"Mark, come to the Iris Lake View Point right now." He ordered.

"Logan what's going on?" I asked as he got up.

"I need to go somewhere urgently. Mark will drop you, I'll come back soon, take care okay?" He gave me a quick kiss.

Mark reached there and Logan talked to him. I knew something was up which he wasn't telling me.He waved me and left, leaving me and Mark. I got inside Mark's car and he drove off.

"Where did Logan go?" I asked him

"Sir has some personal issues, he went for that. He'll be back soon." He replied.

I wondered what it could be. He was the most secretive guy I've ever seen. Sure it's his native place so he can get many personal problems but leaving his work and going for it proves that it's something big. He never leaves me alone like that. I looked outside the window deep in thoughts when my eyes fell on a person. My breath hitched looking at the figure, who was talking to someone.

"Mark, reverse the car, fast." I shouted and he immediately listened to me.

He reversed it back and stopped the car, I got outside. My heart beat stopped immediately when I looked at the person. I stopped in my tracks as soon as I heard her voice, which echoed in my ears.

The person Jason and I have been running from, was standing right in front of me.

The person who ruined my life, our life

She was here, in the outskirts of Mexico.

Vanessa was here.

I never imagined that I'll see her again, after all that happened between us. I kept wondering about all this being in my own bubble.

I gulped as her brown eyes came in contact with mine. This was surely unexpected. I saw her smile slightly and walking towards me. I calmed myself down and closed my eyes. I can't let her take control over me again.

"Well Well Well, what a surprise. I thought I'd never see you again, Veronica." She said, standing in front.

My face got hardened and I folded my fist. I hated her from the deepest part of my heart.

"Oh sweetheart, you've no idea how much I missed you." She said like a vamp.

I backed off as she stepped towards me.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

"Oh, you weren't planning to meet me so I thought why not come here and meet you directly?" She smiled sweetly, but I knew behind her this facade was a selfish bitch.

"Thanks but I don't want to see your face again here, kindly leave the city and go back to your fucked up life." I shouted and turned around to leave.

"The habit of running from your problems didn't go from your blood yet, right? You and Jason are so similar. Made for each other." She said folding her arms.

"Don't talk about something you don't have any idea about." I raised my tone and turned back to look at ber, immediately regretting again as her face was the worst part of this. Her face had so much of secrets folded in her skin, which were slapping my face.

"Touched a nerve?" Vanessa smirked.

"Shut up." I shouted. I knew this bitch still had this huge impact on me. I was loosing my calm slowly.

"You should really leave before I ask my dad to throw you out of Mexico."

"And you think I will not do anything." She smirked and looked at me with known eyes. Panic started gathering in me when I knew what she meant.

"You've no idea what I can do, dear." She gave a sweet, bitchy smile which had a whole lot of meaning.

I stepped back and got inside the car immediately and asked Mark to leave. I saw her from the rear view mirror, with a creepy smirk. I closed my eyes and sighed. My heart was still beating in a fast pace.

I cursed myself to death for breaking my phone. I wanted to reach out to Jason and talk to him about it but I couldn't. I tried my best to be calm as I saw the car approaching the house.

Soon, we reached and I calmed myself down one more time and got out of the car. I came inside and saw Andrew in the house.

"Hey, twin!" He exclaimed.

"Hey!" I smiled, which was fake as my inner self was scared to face the past again. Face Vanessa again.

"Where is Logan?"

"Um, I've no idea. He left abruptly." I said and sat on the couch opposite to him.

"Logan left? Leaving you? That's a new thing." Melissa came from behind and sat next to Andrew.

"True. He never leaves like that." Andrew murmured while wondering.

I looked at Melissa and just one thing came in my mind.

Friends With Benefits

The feeling of Logan being with her was the worst thing to imagine. I didn't know  what was happening with me but a pang of jealousy was spreading inside me. And the hurt that Logan lied to me that night was paining me too.

I threw away the whole FWB shit out of the window as I wasn't ready to face this bitch right now.

"Twin, I'm going in my room. Can you call me once Logan comes back?"

"Of course." He smiled and I got up.

"Wait, we need to talk." Melissa got up and stood in front of me.

"What?"

"I know you're Logan's boss here or whatever but you've no rights to talk all that about him." She said in her bitchy voice.

"Wait what are you talking about?" It caught Andrew's attention and he looked at us.

"She, was acting in the party as if she was Logan's girlfriend." She pointed me out.

I chuckled, "Are you talking about me or yourself?"

She glared at me and looked back at Andrew.

"She was behaving as if...." She trailed down and Andrew raised his eyebrows in question.

"As if, she has been sleeping with him and knows everything."

I was taken aback for a moment. I didn't want Andrew to think wrong about me. Believe it or not, his views and opinions related to me, does matter a lot. I was scared to see his reaction. I was about to change the topic when Andrew spoke.

"So?" Andrew shocked Melissa and I by his reaction.

"What?" Melissa asked unbelievably.

Andrew's face showed that he realised it came out too blunt.

"Uh, no um I mean what are you saying." He cleared his throat and was acting suspicious.

Did he know? That was the only question right now.

"She's been wanting to get inside Logan's pants, Andrew. Can't you see?" She said getting irritated.

"Nope. I can't." He muttered. "I mean, you're just overthinking, it's nothing like that."

"You're blind then, because I can clearly see what she's doing." She said folding her hands.

"'Oh yeah? And what about you? What do you intend to do with Logan sistah?" I raised my tone. She was again trying to assassinate my character.

"Logan is my best friend, what do you mean?"

"Yeah wait, lemme rephrase it, Logan isn't just a friend of yours, right?" I repeated the line she said to me in the party that night.

"Listen-" She opened her mouth to say but I interrupted her again.

"Before talking about me, you should look at yourself. If you think being clingy and an attention seeker would drive Logan towards your pants, then you're totally wrong." I said.

"You bitch-"

"Wait, hold on. What the hell is going on? Why you girls are pointing out each other like that. Calm down, yeah?" Andrew came in between us.

"Veronica, you're crossing your limits." Melissa shouted in a dangerous voice.

"Does it look like I care?" I snapped back.

"You know what? You're a fucking slut who just craves for male attention by seducing them. I bet you're trying this with Logan too, but guess what? He ain't gonna fall so easily, if you knew who he really was, you would never go near him." She said viciously.

"Melissa, shut up." Andrew shouted and stopped her, trying to stop her from saying something.

"What the hell did you just say?" I came forward.

"Veronica, please calm down." Andrew held my shoulders and stopped me.

"What did she mean my that, Andrew? Who really is Logan? What did she say?"

We were all interrupted when we saw the main door getting opened.

I saw Logan entering the house but what shocked me more was the person he was coming with.

She was with him, holding his hands. I was shocked when I looked at them together. What was she doing here? That too with Logan?

Suddenly I shocked myself with the thought that what if Logan knows what happened between us. What if he knows the past I share with Vanessa. I didn't want Logan to think bad about me, therefore I got panicked seeing him walking with her.

But was that the only thing shocked me right now? No.

My heart beat stopped for a moment when I heard Melissa's words.

"Oh my god, Mrs. Lockhart, it's so pleasant to see you here."
