*Bruises and Black Eyes*
Chapter 3
Freshman year was the best year I had. Logan became the best thing in my life. Every morning he brought me a cup of coffee and a new treat from the local coffee shop. He surprised me once in awhile with flowers. Our dates were fun; dinner, mini golfing, bowling, movies, ect. We would walk every where, but when we would want to try a new resteraunt out of town, his older sister, Jessie, would drive us. She was sweet; a senior at the time. I met Logan's family. His parents were very welcoming. I tried to introduce Logan to my parents by having a family dinner, but it was awkward and silent. I don't even talk to them. Usually I eat alone because they're at work, or at a meeting.
On the weekends Logan and I would hang out with our group of friends. Courtney would always make the plans. Courtney and I were never close, and we never grew closer. In our group I became closest with Kelly. We got along; we even looked alike. Long light brown hair, very tall. Kelly and I watcehd the same television show, so we would gossip about the latest episode, but our conversations never grew farther. The closest out of everyone were Logan and Tyler. They were always put on the same sport team, they had some classes together. They laughed at the same things, and had the same interests. They even looked the same. Same tan skin and height. But Logans light brown hair and brown eyes didn't even compare to Tyler's dark hair and those blue eyes.
I had never talked to Tyler until the night of Heather Hatch's house party. Heather Hatch was a senior, and we never said a word to each other. She was friends with my Logan, which got me my invite. Heather had invited only a few people, and wanted to keep it simple. Her plan would have worked if she didn't spread the word that her parents were out of town. The whole high school showed up.
I was sitting on the black leather couch next to a passed out senior who smelt like liquor. Logan was taking shots in the kitched with a few other seniors. I've never had a drink, and was embarrassed. I lied and said I wasn't much of a driker. I didn't think it was right for Logan as a freshman to drink, but I wasn't one to judge. That's when the front door open.
Tyler walked in followed by a few other guys. Instanlty my heart dropped. This was the first time I saw Tyler without being next to Logan. Damn those eyes. Those blue eyes. Right when they met mine, I was speechless. He smiled at me. Of course. Perfect white teeth. He walked over to me and said hello. I smiled. That's when the drunk senior woke up. His eyes were wide.
The drunk guy rolled his head and starred at me. He looked me up and down. "Well hello beautiful." he said. His breath smelt awful. I felt his arm slide around me. "What's..your...name pretty girl?" He couldn't really talk. Where's Logan? I thought. I began to panic. "Why don't you come....lean in..give me a little kiss. Damn you're good looking." I shook. I was scared. That's when Tyler stepped in.
"Derick. Leave her alone." Tyler breathed. He disappeared. That sweet boy with the eyes was now strong, serious. I was shocked. Derick laughed and stood up. "Hey now, freshman..." Derick placed his hand on Tyler's shoulder. The room was quite.
"I'm not trying to start anything, Derick. Just leave her alone."
"Oh yeah? Little freshman gunna stop me?" Derick looked a little serious now.
My jaw dropped when I wacthed Tyler's fist meet Derick's face.
