The Escape.
It had all happened too fast, the important stuff always did. It had started over nothing, a broken glass that Aaron had never liked anyway, but somehow it had escalated to one of the biggest fights they'd had since Lynn's death.
Except this time it was just them, and Aaron didn't seem to be holding anything back.
It had started with shattered glass and a raised hand, but it had ended with Aaron's fingers digging into Logan's throat, and a trickle of blood dripping from the teenager's nose. Logan still didn't know how he'd gotten away, but he had, his bag slung over his shoulder and feet pounding against the pavement as he headed toward the subway.
He got more than a few looks as he stepped on the train, his shirt and the back of his hand covered in dried blood, but he didn't care. He'd taken that step everyone had been trying to push him towards, and he was free. And even though his throat burned and he was fairly sure his nose was never going to stop bleeding, he felt okay. He felt good.
The train lurched to a stop along the way, and the feeling of freedom and euphoria started to waver, and soon his was sniffing and blinking back tears.
What the hell was he going to do now?
