{~~Avery Sterling~~}Being discharged was the best thing to ever happen to me. I was asked not to eat solids for a while, and I was prescribed medicine. On my first day back, reeling from my conversation with Logan, I slept throughout the whole day. Logan only allowed my parents to say a few words before taking me home. He was now furious with them but he didn’t tell them why.I woke up late in the evening, hungry and feeling even more tired. My mood only switched when I stepped out of the room and a sweet scent filled my nose. I dug my fingers into the pockets of my pants and headed downstairs.The living room was a mess, that was the first thing I noticed. I spotted the box, and some other cardboard boxes laid around the coffee table. Logan stepped out of the kitchen, our eyes meeting.“You’re up?”“Yeah, I can’t sleep forever. No matter what my medication says. What’s all this?”“You said you could translate, I was hoping you would.” right, I was hoping he’d let that conversation g
{~~Logan Grey~~}I brought a bottle of beer while Avery read through the rest. I was speechless by what she kept bringing up. And I trusted her words. She had no reason to lie to me, but fuck, I feel so fucking angry. Ava has been lying to me for years, for so fucking long. I’m just so done with the feeling of hurt. Why didn’t I listen? I was so determined to not be an idiot. Imagine finding out the woman you’ve been in love with for years, has been plotting against you. I knew it was weird because I spent years trying to get her attention, from the moment we met, and all of a sudden after trying, she suddenly showed interest. And then she wanted to be with me.I was so happy I didn’t allow myself to think about it. To wondered why she suddenly changed her mind, had I done that then everything would have been fine.I would have asked around, and gotten some information. I feel so tired just listening to Avery narrate everything she found in the letters. Then she got to one that seemed
{~~Avery Sterling~~}I must have fallen asleep after showing Logan the photo of Rex… what a shitty name. And his last name isn't even better. We could have talked more about it but I guess I was too tired. My medication had kicked in. I rolled onto my side, and came face to face with something hard. I wrapped around a similar thing. What the fuck is that? I wiggled my arms out of the thick blanket- I'm presuming that's what's keeping me in this tight embrace. I felt the presence in front of me. It was firm. Strong. Hard as I'd said earlier, but soft somehow too. They flexed… or bounced, I'm not even sure how to describe what it did. Confused as to what this might be, I opened my eyes to check what I was pressed against. My face heated up at the sight of Logan's firm chest. And I wasn't wrapped in a blanket, I was wrapped in his arms. How in god's name did this happen?Oh shit. I better leave before he wakes up. I took a pause, to enjoy the warmth. To memorize the warmth. But to a
{~~Avery Sterling~~}I don’t think you could ask me to explain my situation and it wouldn’t come out sounding like the worst comedic movie. I truly am life’s best joke. Logan held me against the mattress, and I kept staring at everything but him. Because.... what the fuck did I do wrong this time? I’ve been alright. I’ve been sick, dealing with an attack on my life and car. Is he going to kill me?Is he actually going to kill me? I’d like to tell my parents one last thing. Fuck the two of you. “Quit looking so shocked. I’m not going to attack you. I wanted to ask you a question.” he got up, leaving me on the bed as he loosened the towel wrapped around his waist, and started tugging on his boxers. I covered my eyes. I can’t trust them not to wander.“Would you like to have dinner out with me today?”I peeked over my hands, trying to decide if he was being genuine or if I was imagining things. I’m sure I’m delusional so I wouldn’t put it past myself to have shitty dreams and hopeful th
{~~Logan Grey~~}Wow, I was not expecting to get laid into by Avery of all people. It stuck with me even while I was busy at work. The patients were coming in, but my thoughts were out of place. Thankfully, it didn’t interfere with what I was doing. She really didn’t hold back. She mentioned not trusting me not to go back to Ava, because that’s what people do. I hated that part the most. Something about her words cut through me.I hated being categorized into the list of men Ava has manipulated and dumped. You’re not special. Goddess, those words keep coming back with full force. I’ve never been someone whose words could hurt because I’m very self-aware, and I don’t show just anyone the true side of me so not everyone can hurt me. But Avery dug deep. I had asked her to be honest with me, and she didn’t hold back one bit.If Ava came back begging, would I say yes? After all, I’d discovered, was I that pathetic that she thought I would go back to her sister? After her cheating on me, ne
{~~Avery Sterling~~}I was in my room for a while until I felt the urge to eat something. Then I exited the room, i know logan wasn’t around but I was still nervous. I made a chicken sandwich, drank a glass of pink lemonade took my medication, and went back up to my room to sleep. I locked the door, not sure why but my hand moved to do it and I only realized it after I was settled under my covers. Feeling relaxed. I just wanted to sleep. I don’t know how long I was out, but suddenly I woke up to a loud noise.I wasn’t sure what it was but I knew it was crazy loud. I sat up, wanting to call out to Logan but my throat felt dry. I reached for my phone to check the time. One thirty, this is lunch time at the hospital. Surely he didn’t come back home during this time. We have lunch from twelve to two pm. Two hours to make sure if a doctor is busy during twelve, they can check in for lunch by one. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be called out while we eat.But the medic alpha usually stays t
{~~Logan Grey~~}Thank goodness I’d decided to leave the hospital as soon as my gut told me to. She could have passed out on the bench, and that creep might have found her. The thought sent a shiver down my spine, and I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as I drove. After vomiting, I gave her some water to rinse her mouth, and then took her back to the car. She fell asleep almost instantly, exhaustion overtaking her fragile state.I drove her to the lake house I’d bought for Ava and me to use as our honeymoon retreat. It was meant to be a gift, a place for us to start our new life together. But those dreams shattered when she left and cheated on me. Now, the house stood as a symbol of broken promises and lost love. I tried not to think about Ava as I focused on caring for Avery.Once I arrived, I pulled the car into the park and gently carried her into the house, placing her on the couch. She looked so peaceful, despite everything she had been through. I couldn't imagine the terr
{~~Avery Sterling~~}I can't tell you anything that happened the night before. It was as if the world had dissolved into a haze of disjointed memories and fleeting sensations. I remember feeling drowsy, a thick, oppressive fatigue weighing down my eyelids, making every blink a struggle. There was also a pervasive sense of fear, like a cold hand gripping my heart, sending chills down my spine. My thoughts were muddled, tangled in a web of confusion and dread, making it impossible to grasp onto any coherent recollection.The very next morning, though, a new kind of exhaustion had settled into my bones. I was tired of being sick, tired of the relentless cycle of weakness and helplessness. The moment my eyes fluttered open, I knew something had to change. Gathering what little strength I had left, I forced myself out of bed, determined to break free from the suffocating grasp of my illness. My limbs felt like lead, each movement slow and laborious, but I pressed on.As I stood on shaky le
