Leah’s POV
Once Logan left I stared at Angela, something about her made me feel peaceful and drawn to her energy. I had learned to trust Logan and knew he wouldn't leave me alone with Angela if he didn't trust her too. We talked about girl stuff and snuck onto Logan’s computer to do some online retail therapy. It was nice to have a girl to talk to again.
“Angela, do you know how long I was held for?” I asked. “I really want Logan to talk to you about that” she replied. I nodded and we went back to shopping. Not long after Logan came back “What are you up to?” he asked. “Spending all your money” Angela laughed. After they bantered back and forth Angela got up to leave. “Can you stay” I asked, she nodded and we sat down on the couch. Angela was trying to tell Logan something with her eyes but he was failing miserably to understand her which made me laugh. “Logan tell her,” Angela said finally.
Logan walked over and sat beside me. “Leah do you know how long you were captive for'' he asked me. I shook my head. “I don't know when you were kidn*pped but I do know that your birthday is in 3 weeks” he said. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. I knew I had been kidn*pped three months after my 15th birthday. Does that mean I was held there for 8 months? Everything started feeling dizzy and I went to get up and quickly fell, feeling myself being caught the darkness consumed me.
When I woke up I was in bed and Logan was holding my hand. “Are you okay?” he asked as he gave me a glass of water. “8 months, I lost 8 months of my life” I said. “Can you tell me about what happened in there?” Logan asked. I wasn’t ready i turned my head and looked away. “It’s okay you don't have to say anything”. “Can I sleep?” I asked and Logan laughed. “You can do whatever you want Leah your free''. I smiled and closed my eyes and fell quickly asleep.
