Falling for the Fallen by Jaden Bieber & Rebecca Polonsky (interesting books to read for teens txt) 📖

couldn't understand what they were saying. I was guessing it was Lilly and Cody. Soon enough I was in Cody's arms and we were walking down the hall. That's when my mind went blank.

I woke up in the clinic. I guess I was given a shot and my swelling went down. I started coughing as I sat up. Someone was sitting on the side of my bed next to me and rubbing my back. I looked up slowly to Logan.
Instantly, I felt the need to hug him. His eyes... were filled with worried. Obviously, there was no answer if I'd make it.
"L-Logan?" I stuttered.
"Riley..." He sighed out. "You gave us a scare." I looked around the room. Wasn't I in Cody's arms.
"I thought Lilly... and Cody were here."
"They were."
"Why did they leave?" I asked. "And why are you here?" He scratched the back of his head and stood up.
"You kind of... screamed my name when you were passed out." I blushed and looked away.
"I did?"
"Yeah. So Lilly came and got me. I told them to go to class and I'd stay with you. They agreed and left."
"O-Oh... I'm sorry." I said, still blushing like a freaking tomato with sunburn... if that's even possible.
Damn it, Riley. GET HIM OUT OF YOUR HEAD.
"Well. I"m fine now, so leave." My face slowly went down to my normal skin tone. "I don't think so." He sat down on the side of my bed and put his hand on my shoulder. I quickly pushed it off.
"Stay away from me. I said I didn't want you my life. So get out of it!" I got up and looked at the clock. Oh shit! "Damn it! Its already 5:20!" Logan looked at me.
"So?"
"So?! I have to be at Cody's at 6! And I need to get ready!" I looked down. My shoes are off. I ran to the side of the bed and grabbed them and started running to my room. I need to get ready! Gah!
I used my key and opened my door. I went in and closed the door behind me. I ran to the bathroom. I already took a shower this morning, so I'm good. I washed my face and ran to my dresser. I picked out a pair of black skinny jeans and a nice plain green shirt. I then brushed my hair. It actually was still looking good. I smiled at myself and looked at the clock. 5:40. Okay. I have ten minutes and then I leave. So I got my flat iron out and just re-did my hair to make sure. By the time my hair was done it was 5:53. TIME TO GO! I grabbed my phone and texted him as I walked out my dorm. 'Coming to your dorm now.'
I almost ran out the door, but Logan grabbed my waist and pulled me back into my dorm. He shut the door behind us.
"Logan! I have to go-" He put a finger on my neck and I winced. It still hurt, but I didn't care. Sparks coarsed through me at his touch. My hair stood on end.
"Your neck is red." He said, pulling his hand away, making me disappointed.
"I don't care. I have a date with Cody." My phone buzzed and I looked at the text from Cody.
'No. You'll be staying in your dorm until you well again. We'll plan it another time, 'kay? Feel better, beautiful. :-)' I read. I sighed and sat on my bed.
"Riles..?" Logan came over to me and sat on my bed next to me... close. I scooted away a little, blushing.
Why did Logan have this affect on me..?
"I don't need a nurse, Logan. I'll be fine on my own. Leave." I frowned.
"Do you like Cody?" He asked me, emotionless.
"Yes." I said. But not as much as you... I thought.
"You know, your bottom lip twitches when you lie." He smirked.
"I wasn't lying. I was thinking about something." I sat at the head of my bed away from Logan. I put my hand out. "Stay away. No wait, no. Just get out. I don't want you near me." I looked at him.
"Rile-"
"Get out!" I threw a pillow at him. "I cant take this anymore. Just get out! We're just friends. Okay? But right now, I want to be alone." He sighed and nodded.
"Fine." He got up and walked to my door and walked out. Good. I don't need him near me. I know how to not like him. Start liking Cody. Its better that way. At least Cody is human. I texted him back.
'I'm fine, Cody. I swear.' I got up and picked up the pillow I threw at him and put it back on my bed. I heard my phone buzz. I picked it up.
'How about we do it tomorrow, just to make sure?' I sighed and sat in my desk chair.
'Fine, but I really wanted to come tonight. I even ran out of the nurse's office to get ready.'
'That's makes me happy that you cared that much.' He texted back.
'I care a lot. :I' I texted back.
'Get some rest. See you tomorrow. Sweat dreams, beautiful.'
'Good night, handsome.' I texted back. I sighed.
I decided to get into my PJ's. I wore light green booty shorts with a dark green tank top.
I laid in my bed and fell asleep.

I looked into thoughs eyes. Thoughs eyes that made me say to myself, "I'm in love with the person whom thoughs eyes belong to." Logan. He hugged me suddenly. We were in a forest. I hugged him back.
"I love you, Riles." He whispered in my ear.
"I love you, too, Log." I smiled. He pulled back and crushed his lips to mine. I responded just as hungrily.

I sat up quickly. What was that dream about?!
I combed my hair with my fingers...
Logan... I missed him... I suddenly felt horrible for treating him like dirt. After all, it wasn't his fault he was what he was. He was young... So very young...
I couldn't believe it... I started to cry. I feel horrible... I shall go find him and apologize!
