10 : Stay

One Week LaterOne week without seeing Logan and having no idea how my brother is. .I woke up and stretched in my bed, a yawn escaped and I laid back down to close my eyes.

{You can't do this. You need to get up.}

"I don't want to get up." I groaned and cuddled back in my blankets.

{You have to get up. You have a life.} Scream said inside my head.

"Then no chocolate for you tonight then." I threatened.

{Your threats don't work with me.} She chuckled. {I can simple take control and binge whenever I chose.}

I rolled my eyes with a smile. "You're lucky I allow you to stay."

{Like you have a choice.}

(I do. Now go to sleep. Or at least let me sleep.)

I felt the bed dip and something crawl up to the pillows then lay down. "You must get up, Elisa."

I groaned. "I appreciate the caring side of you Loki but I don't need you." She brushed her finger down the budge of my nose, I opened my eyes. "Why are you nice to me? I'm Starks sister."

Loki looked at me softly. "You need to get up and eat something." She got off the bed.

I sighed and closed my eyes. "Do you think he ghosted me?"

"What is ghosted?"

I looked at her. "Sorry. I forgot you aren't from Earth." She sat back down on the bed. "Ghosted means they just stopped talking to you. As if they never existed. It's an easy way out of a relationship."

Loki frowned. "He said he would be back... Didn't he?" I nodded. "Then he will."

I looked away from her. "Maybe Gods are different in their promises but on Earth we lie like we breath." I closed my eyes. "I'm fine. Just let me sleep a little bit more."

"How about I go and get you some chocolate." I peaked at her through inched open eyes, she smiled. "Maybe some ice cream."

"I'm not-."

{I swear if you don't let her go get chocolate and ice cream I will take over your body indefinitely.} Scream growled.

I sighed. "Fine. I'll give you some cash." I sat up.

"I can get it. It's in your wallet right?" I nodded, she smiled and got up. "You go to sleep and I'll go get the sweet things."

I laid back down. "Alright. I'm sorry, Loki... I didn't mean to-."

"It's alright... Go to sleep and I'll go get the food." Loki left the room.

{Elisa. You can't do this to yourself again.}

(I don't care.).  .  . 

It was warm, something was laying on top of me, not fully, like an arm on my waist. "Darling?"

(Logan.)I took a deep breath and opened my eyes to see Logan laying next to me. "Logan."

He smiled softly. "I'm sorry I was away for so long."

I moved closer into his embrace. Pathetic tears gathered in my eyes. "Where did you go?"

Logan kissed my forehead. "I had work. Staying two days in a row set me back." I relaxed. "I'm sorry I worried you, darling."

"I-It's alright... Can you stay?" I wrapped my arms around him. "Or can I buy you a phone so we can call each other?"

Logan moved the arm he was laying on under my head. "I will get a phone soon and I will call you every night that I am not here."

"Alright." I closed my eyes.

"Darling. You should get out of bed. Your friend told me you haven't gotten out in a couple days."

(Friend? Oh, Loki.)"I... ... Is she here?"

"No. I believe she left." Logan leaned away and cupped my cheek. "Darling." I looked at him, he looked into my eyes. "What can I do to make you happy?"

I studied his face. "How long can you stay?" Logan looked at me sadly and wiped away the tears that trailed down my cheek, I cuddled back into his chest. "I'm sorry. I'm pathetic. I told you I was more than just fidgeting... I warned you... You can leave if you want."

Logan held me tightly. "I'm not leaving... Is it my fault you are in this state?"

"... Yes... But no.... My brother... The party ended in a fight between him and a... A rival company. He went to deal with it but I haven't heard word from him. I don't know if he's just busy or if he started to drink again because of the stress. I'm closed in again just like every time something happens and he thinks I can't handle it."

"He wants to keep you safe."

"How can sending me away each time make me safe? Maybe I'm physically safe but..." I sighed and turned away from him. "Just hold me."

"Alright." Logan moved under the blankets and then formed my body to his as he spooned me. "Have you been sleeping full nights?"

"Yes." I held his arm that held my waist, Logan kissed my neck and cuddled me closer to him. "How about something sweet?"

"No."{Yes.}"Yes."

Logan chuckled softly. "Alright." He kissed me again. "Stay here." He moved away.

(Not like I'm going anywhere.)I sat up against the headboard and pulled the blankets up to my abdomen. 

Logan walked but in with a quart of ice cream and a bag of what seemed to be chocolate. "Your friend dropped this off before leaving."

"Oh." Logan sat next to me and handed me the bag. "So she left after buying things?" I opened the beg and searched through the variety.

"Is that alright?"

"I guess." I took out a chocolate bar that had caramel inside each square. (Loki wouldn't do anything bad would they?)"She's... It's complicated. I just thought she wasn't going to wonder off." I bit into the candy bar. "It's fine I guess." Logan opened the ice cream and handed me a spoon. "Thank you. I just don't want to cause trouble."

"I'm sure she will be fine."

"You say that because you don't know her." I ate a spoonful of ice cream. "My friend was just released from.. prison, and is on parol. I just don't want her doing anything she regrets." I shrugged. "She's nice but everyone has a dark side." I eyed him, he raised a brow. "I'm still trying to figure out yours."

Logan smiled. "I assure you my dark side is very well hidden." I rolled my eyes and turned back to the ice cream, Logan brushed a hair behind my ear. "Do you have a dark side, darling?"

(Obviously.)"Take my sweets away and I turn into a monster." I shrugged and ate a huge spoon of chocolate ice cream while looking at him.

Logan smiled. "Then I better not." He ate a spoonful of ice cream.

My mouth opened in shock. "I trusted you." Logan smiled, I smiled slightly. "Thank you."

Logan winked. "I'm here for you." I smiled and looked at the ice cream as I scooped the biggest meatball size scoop. "What are you doing?" He chuckled softly.

I held the scoop between us. "Prove your feelings for me and eat this in one go." I raised a challenging brow.

Logan smiled. "Alright." He lifted his hand and pushed my hand to bring the spoon to his mouth.

(Oh, my god.)Logan opened his mouth and ate the scoop off the spoon and leaned back with big cheeks.

My eyes widened slightly. "You must really like me."

Logan covered his mouth with his hands. "I do." He said softly.

(I wish I could share my life with you. I have so many secrets.)"... Did the brain freeze happen yet?" Logan shook his head, I sighed. "That's lame."

Logan smiled and finished melting the ice cream in his mouth. "Would you like me to have a brain freeze."

I shrugged. "What's the point of slaying a dragon if there's no fire?"

Logan smiled and leaned forward to plant a kiss on my lips. I kissed back. (I don't want him to leave.)

"Stay." I said, he looked at me softly. "I'm sure my friend could find another place to stay with a bed."

"I thought you didn't want her to get in trouble." He cupped my cheek.

"I'll find her another place with a friend." I moved my hand to the back of his neck and pulled his lips closer. "Stay."

Logan sighed and closed his eyes, our foreheads pressed together and his lips kissed me once more. "I care for you. You know that right?"

"Yes." I pushed him away so I could look at him without crossing my eyes. "You can't stay can you?"

Logan looked at me sadly. "Your friend seems nice. She seems to care about you."

I sighed. "I don't know why... She's not a fan of my brother or his friends. My brother hates her and I'm surprised he let her stay with me."

"Are you scared of her?" Logan sat back and held my hand, rubbing his thumb in circles.

I shook my head. "Over the week she hasn't done anything to me. I dont know. It's complicated. I'm not scared, more of a cautious."

Logan looked at my hand and turned it over for no reason. "As long as you aren't scared of her then I feel better."

I closed my hand to hold his. "You can't stay? At least the night? I'm sure she won't feel awkward if you stay in here. Just for the night."

Logan nodded. "Alright. I'll stay the night."
