Between 2 Families

The accusation

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the open blinds Helena has forgotten to close the night before.

As she set up, with her eyes still adjusting to the lights, she wondered where she was.

A quick look around brought her memory back. The view was as amazing as it did the night before.

As she was admiring the view she read a noise, her eye looked over the room and stopped at a pair of feet hanging from the couch.

She gets up slowly, and go investigate, as she slowly approaches the couch, she sees Logan laying in there, snoring, sleeping soundly whiteout a worry on his mind. She stood there for a second, admiring his features. She was unsure of how long she was staring, when he opened his eyes and looked right back at her, starling her.

She turned her back and apologized for waking him up.

He was handsome, “I’m sure he could be a model if he wanted to” Helena thought to herself as she walked away.

“Hey wait,” he said as he was trying to sit down, “Ugh, what happened last night?”.

Helena looked puzzled, “you don’t remember anything?” She moved closer to her friend.

“I found you drunk at the doorstep, you were almost passed out. I could barely move you inside the room, it was a miracle I was able to put you on the couch.” She explained, “you sure drank a lot.”

Sam put on had to his head, it was clear he was heaving a bad headache, “here is the problem, last night I didn’t, I may have had two beers that I remember”.

After not hearing any response Logan lifted his head to look at Helena.

“Maybe you don’t remember everything you drank?”

“I would remember more than two beers to get me this drunk. I once had 5 shots of tequila before I passed out, two beers won’t even tickle me” he said on a more annoyed tone.

Helena looked confused, “is he bragging about his drinking problem?” She thought to herself.

Even more irritated he explains “it needs to be more than two beers to get me drunk”

“I get that” she explained, “I’m trying to come up with ideas of why you have this blackout memory.” She walked towards the door “ Let’s go have breakfast and cure that hangover than we can piece together what happened to you last night. I need to go find my friends.” She finished as she was opening the door

They headed down to the deck where breakfast was being served to the few that had spend the night. The boat was docked , the crew was cleaning up as well as serving the remain guest that were waking up.

Sam, Cristina, Asher and other four member of the fraternity where already there eating, “good morning sunshine” Sam teased.

Logan sat on the chair mowing from his headache.

Cristina teased Logan after seeing his suffering. He kept on his words that he had no more than two drinks, but no one was really believing him.

As they were giggling at Logan’s misery when Adam arrived pulling a chair between the girls, placed his arms around them, “well well well, who we have here? Cinderella didn’t turn into a pumpkin at midnight?”

Cristina, unamused, removed his arms from their shoulder while Sam moved forward, letting his arm rest on the back of the chair.

“We are on a boat, we’re could we have gone?”

Helena replied annoyed.

They were all chatting when one of the fraternity boys started to whistle at a girl coming downstairs from the suits floor.

“Walk of shame” screamed one of the guys as the other cheered.

The girl had messy blond hair, a tattoo on her right arm, holding her shoes while trying to hide her face, running out of there as fast as she could.

Sam, Cristina and Helena looked at each other, feeling bad for the other girl, decided together, whiteout saying a word to each other, that it was time to return to the dorms.

********

The week had started, everyone had gone back to class.

Helena was in the middle of her lecture, when three policemen walked through the doors, making so much noise, everyone turned to look.

“Excuse, where I can find Mr Louderman?” Asked one or the policeman.

The room went silent. Logan lifted his hand, “I’m here” he claimed. The cops walked to where he was sitting and announced while two of them helped him out of his sit.

“Sr Louderman, you are under arrest”, Helena couldn’t hear much after due to the loud surprised conversations echoing through the classroom, all she could do was watch in shock as the police arrest Logan
