Chapter 18 - Him

Maggie's POV

"Do you know him, Maggie?" Jack asked me.

God Fucking Damnit! How do I answer this?

I took a deep breath and, "Too well." I whispered.

Jack exhaled. The only person who knew about Logan was Sophia. I tried to keep the thought of him out of my life. Zoe sat on the other side of the bed. Conor sat in a chair across from me and Sophie stood while looking at me.

"How do you know him?" Zoe asked.

I flinched, "He's one of my ex-boyfriends. He, well he, would hurt me, and if I tried to tell anyone, he would hurt me even more. He would throw me on the floor and beat me. It took 3 years before Bailey finally found out. He made me lie and tell people that he was amazing and kind. I lied to you Zoe, Conor, Jack, he's the reason I developed anxiety." Everyone turned to Sophie to see her sadly nodding. Zoe spoke up.

"Why didn't you tell us love?"

"I wanted the thought of him out of my life, I didn't want to worry you. Plus, he was meant to be in the past." I said while playing with the bedsheets. The room was silent. The only noise you could hear was the beeping of my heart monitor and the nurses footsteps outside, scurrying across the hallways. "And I thought, that if he would come back, you wouldn't want to be my friends." I started to cry.

Conor's POV

I was about to cry, but I couldn't, I had to stay strong. For Maggie.

"No matter what happens, no matter what douchebag comes in our way. We'll never stop being your friends." Conor said.

Maggie's POV

I smiled.

"think we need a group hug." Conor said in a funny tone. We all squeezed each other.

"I'm still gonna beat the shit out of that douche when I see him." Jack said, which made all of us laugh. I kissed him on the cheek and he smiled.

Zoe's POV

I was glad that we'd finally gotten Maggie to smile. She had the most beautiful smile.

*buzz buzz*

Alfie💗: Is Maggie alright?

Zoe💋: Yeah she's better now. What's up?

Alfie💗: Not much, just wondering when you're coming home. Nala misses you😘

Zoe💋: Aww, I'll leave soon.

Alfie💗: alright then💗

"Hey everyone. I think I'm going to head out soon." I said.

"Really the party was just getting started!" Maggie laughed.

"I think you've partied enough tonight. Well, it's basically morning!" I checked my watch. It was already 5:15.

"Christ you're right." Maggie said.

"Well in that case, I think I'm going to take a nap." she says scooting farther down on the bed.

"Bye Zoe." Everyone said in unison. I waved and left.

Jack's POV

"Is anyone else going to leave?" I wondered.

"Fuck no! I'm her bestie." Conor answered.

"Hell to the nah! I'm her sista bitch!" Sophia said. Maggie gave her a high-five.

"That's my girl!"

"You're high-giving your sister, for calling me a bitch?" I asked.

"Yes, yes I am Monsieur Maynard." She sassily answered. I rolled my eyes. I was so distracted with everything that happened, that I didn't know how many texts I'd gotten from the boys.

Josh: Dude are you okay? You left the club really quick.

I answered simply with a

Jack: yeah I'm fine.

Joe:Mate is Maggie okay? I've tried to ring you and Conor several times!

Since Joe knew I was going to the hospital I just said.

Jack: Yeah she's fine. She might want to tell you something. Don't push it too much though,

I got an immediate reply. From Joe,

Joe: I'm just glad she's okay.

Caspar: You alright man? You and Conor just disappeared on us.

Jack: I'm fine.

I noticed that I didn't get a text from mikey. Eh, who cares, it's mikey we're talking about here. Thank god all of that was over. When I turned my phone off, I looked at Maggie, who was sleeping like a baby. I took a picture of her and posted it on Insta.

"Sweet dreams baby💖"

As soon as that was done I sat in a chair in the corner of the room and fell asleep.

Maggie's POV

When I woke up, I looked at Jack. Still asleep. I looked at Conor. Still asleep. I looked at Sophie. Still asleep. I giggled and took a picture of them, and posted it.

"Partied a little too hard did we?😂"

I tagged all three of them in it.

I started laughing which woke Jack and Conor up. "What are you laughing at?"

"Oh nothing. Just how beautiful the Maynard's are when they're asleep. They looked at each other skeptically and walked towards me. They tried to steal my phone.

"Noooo! I need my phone. Plus you know I can call out for a nurse right?" They stopped in their tracks. "Ha! I win! Now check your instagrams."

They both squinted their eyes at me and went on their phones.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me Maggie." Conor threw his hands up in the air and slumped himself back in his chair. Jack pointed at me.

"Once we get back home, you're dead meat." I laughed. At that moment, Sophie woke up.

"Shit, what time is it?" She asks, grabbing onto the arm rests on her chair.

I checked my phone.

"Noon, why?" I ask.

She shrugged, "Just wanted to know. I think I'm going to head out, I miss the comfort of my bed." We all laughed. Sophie gave me a hug and whispered "get well soon sissy."

Sissy, she hasn't called me that in years.

I smiled and waved at my sister.

"Alright, I'm going to go get us some food, because I'm starving." Conor whined.

"Okay lil' baby. Bring us something edible please!" I shouted after him.

"No promises!"

While Conor was gone, I took a selfie.

"Went to the club last night, ended up in a hospital👌🏻"

*4 Hours Later*

Maggie's POV

When we finally arrived at home, I made a mad dash for my bed.

"Damn I missed you." I kissed my bed and pillows. Jack walked in.

"Are you kissing your bed, instead of your boyfriend?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's done more than you have." I say,  smashing my face on the douvet.

"How dare you say that to me!" Jack jumped on the bed which made my small body fly into the air. "AAAAH!" When I landed, my hair was all over my face.

"Hahahahahhahahahha!! You-you look hilarious!" He pointed.

"Oh yeah, har har, very funny. I'm gonna take a shower."

"Noooo don't leave me!" He begged.

"You're 22 years old. 15 minutes won't kill you."

He stuck my bottom lip out.

"But I luv youuuuuu!!" Jack grabbed onto my leg like a leach.

Jack's POV

"Ugh! If I give you a kiss, will you let me shower?" Maggie asks, trying to shake me off.

I thought it over. "No." I say promptly.

"What if I shower with you?" I say, placing a kiss on her leg.

"I wouldn't mind that."

Let's just say, things got steamy, and I'm not just talking about the shower.
