CHAPTER 24 - Unexpected Outburst

Y/N didn't say anything and just kept glaring at him. She knew he was right, she didn't want to do anything she would regret later. Just the sight of this guy made her want to do something that she would regret. She felt herself caught up in her throat as it felt heavy, yet a bit dry and it was itching to say more.

"So calm down," Tyler said sternly, narrowing his eyes at her for her to listen to his command.

A sigh left the girl's lip as she then turned away from Barron to check up on Logan. Getting a look on his face, he was clearly tensed. However, as she took a closer look at his face, she noticed a bruise on him, which almost made her lose her temper. However, thinking about the situation and her actions, she closed her eyes, relaxing her thoughts as she needed some self-control.

'Calm down. Don't do anything rash, just focus on dealing with him,' was all she thought before lifting her gaze at Logan. "Are you okay?" Her eyes slowly softening as she placed a hand on his bruised cheek.

Logan was caught off guard by her actions, causing him to stumble over his words. He kept his head down, trying to hide his embarrassment. His cheeks turned red as he avoided making eye contact with her. Despite feeling relaxed, he couldn't help but wonder why she was being so nice to him, the generally question being: "Why was she going out of her way to help him?"

Even though with that question in mind, Logan didn't want to ruin the sweet moment they were sharing. He found comfort in her presence. Her hands were gentle and soothing, making him blush. This was a new experience for him, and he didn't want it to end. As he finally lifted his head, he saw the concern in her eyes. He could see the guilt and softness in her gaze, even though she tried to hide it.

"Logan, are you okay? It doesn't hurt, right?" Y/N was worried about him and wanted to make sure he was doing fine. (Come on, give the guy a break, you're making him blush!)

Logan stutters, "N-No, I'm okay... Thanks." His answer made Y/N feel better, so she decided to give him some space.

After a while passed, Barron had already left the group by the time Y/N looked over her shoulder. She internally thanked Tyler for stepping in and handling the situation, which pleased Y/N because if she saw Barron again, she might do something rash without thinking.

"You're seriously scared of him?" Tyler asked, looking at Y/N with his arms crossed. "After being around those things every night. Pathetic."

"Tyler! Not cool," Taylor said, quickly going to his side to check on him and placing a hand on his shoulder. "What was that about?" She asked Logan with worry.

He hesitated for a moment before admitting the reason. "I forgot to do his part of the project..."

Y/N scoffed at the excuse, "Damn, then... he must be so stupid that he couldn't comprehend a simple project that he even asked for Logan's help." She expressed no sympathy. "Honestly, how do you expect him to pass if he doesn't learn to do things on his own?"

Tyler ignored her comment. "How is he supposed to survive when he can't stand up for himself? Right now isn't the time to be soft." Y/N got abit irritated by Tyler's attitude towards Logan, even though he was correct, he didn't have to express it in that manner.

"Tyler is right." Ashlyn said, "Though his way of saying it is uncalled for, Logan definitely need some strength training. We all do." Narrowing her eyes, she looked at Tyler. "That's why I'm thinking of asking my parents to teach us self-defense. They taught me some when I was younger, but I don't remember it enough to teach you guys on my own."
