"Honey what happened?" I asked him as I rushed over to his bed side to look at him.

His face started to swell his nose surrounded by dried blood.

When Ryan didn't respond I started to become worry. Tears nearly leaving my eyes I ran to the freezer to get an ice pack.

"Who did this to you Ryan?" I asked him.

You could say Ryan resembled a lot of Logan. He had Logan's features, his expressions and his ability to stand up for the ones he loved most.

When he was seven Logan tried to get him into surfing. Buying him a board for his birthday, going on Father son surfing trips with Dick and his son Dick Jr Jr.

He hated it. He was like me hated surfing. So six months later I brought him his 'dream' skateboard he's been skating ever since. Even though at the start Logan was a bit angry with me that I got him a skateboard when I told him maybe Alexis might have a passion for surfing.

Alexis was our seven year old daughter. With blonde hair and smart mouth she was a lot like me. Except she had the Echolls eyes. She was Daddy's little girl just like I was when I was little. Getting spoilt by Logan every day since she was born.

As Logan spoilt Alexis so much Ryan and I became close. As much as Logan and I love both of our children we got along with each one differently.

I repeated my question to Ryan who still was lying on the bed who hasn't moved an inch.

"Ryan who did this to you?" I asked him.

He looked me in the eye and I knew who did it.

He didn't even have to tell me I knew Logan did this to him. We promised each other that if this ever happened I would leave him.

Flashback

As we got to our hotel room Logan carried me to the bed. Laughing and giggling I knew it was the best day of my life.

He sat me down on his lap as I straddled him. I started to kiss him as we got close to a make out session he stoped.

"Hey hey stop" he said as we pull us up to sit up.

I was shocked was my lovely husband saying no to sex?

"what honey?" I asked him trying to catch my breath

"promise me something"

"anything"

"If we have children one day promise me if I turn out anything like my father you will leave me"

I looked into his eyes and he was serious I knew always he was worried that he would turn out like Aaron.

"I promise you that. Also if we have a son he is allowed to have sex at 15 nothing earlier" I ruled

"I had sex first at 14 come on it helped us didn't it?" he joked

"I promise you, our children will never have the childhood that we had Veronica I won't let it" he also promised me.

I smiled "anything else you want to agree on for our future I know you want one of your children to surf" I told him.

"How did you know? that was a secret"

"Logan baby were married now I know you too well"

"I love you so much Veronica"

"I love you more" I said as started to kiss him again taking off his jacket and tie followed with everything else.

That night we conceived Ryan.

End of Flash back

The next morning Logan got up early for work and was out of the house by 7am. That night I felt disappointed he hit Ryan our only son. He put his arm around me when he got in bed last night. I still felt the warmth and the love we shared when were teenagers. But now I also felt something else I was scared.

I woke up Alexis that morning making sure she wasn't here as Ryan and I packed up a few things and for the fight Logan and I were going to have.

I put her blonde hair in piggy tails even though she complains 'that's she's too old for piggy tails'.

"Mummy used to wear them when she was just a bit older that Ryan and Daddy still thought she was hot" I told her

"I so don't want to know" Ryan interrupted as he walked into the room. His jaw was terribly brused and it was heart breaking to see what Logan did.

"Ryan you're not going to school today that's why I let you sleep in. I will tell you why in a minute"

I told Alexis to brush her teeth with her special toothpaste daddy brought her while I talk to Ryan.

As soon as she left I began talking

"Hows you face?"

"its ok its not hurting bad trust me" he lied. The truth was it hurt like hell.

"Well I promise you its never going to happen again" I told him.

He gave me I look I knew too well by is Father.

"I am not going to let him to touch you ever again Ryan" I told the teen that reminded me so much of the love of my life.

"why?"

"We promised each other a long time ago that if he laid a finger on any of our children I would walk away" I told him as I packed the dishwasher.

"Mum, as much as I love Dad he doesn't deserved us to leave him after one little mistake" he stood up for him.

"What did you do?"

"I might have looked through his documents on his computer"

"Ryan"

"I know I know I know I shouldn't of done it ok but please let us stay here don't move"

"Ryan I'm not changing my mind ok you don't know anything about the agreement we made on our wedding night ok so just leave it" I yelled at him not wanting to tell him about Aaron

"Why cant you just tell me. I'm 15 you know. I bet you knew things at that age"

"at that age my mother slept with my boyfriends father!" I yelled

"What?"

"Ryan. Your father and I were trying to protect you. We both had bad childhoods especially you father ok we just want yours and Alexis's to be good"

"Can you just tell me about Grampa Echolls" he pleded

"Sit down. Logan's father was Aaron Echolls. He was a violent man ok. Your father had to get a belt out of his cupboard and Aaron would whip him. You have seen the scars on his back that's how he got them. Broken bones stiches everything"

"Mum I'm so sorry"

"that's not all of it. When we just turned sixteen Logan's girlfriend my bestf riend was murdered" I told him.

Terror struck in most features in his face

"At the end of Junior year I found who killed her"

"It was him wasn't it"

"yes Aaron killed her by putting an ash tray up to her head. Then tried to kill me by putting me in a fridge then lighting it up. Thank God Keith came and saved him. That's why we don't talk about your grand father that much"

Ryan just sat on the couch staring into nowhere. I could tell he regretted me asking about Aaron and Logan.

"Mummy Mummy I'm ready" I herd Alexis screaming out as she came to the living area with her school bag with her white knee high socks and her uniform.

"Yay we can go to school now!!' I said with the same tone of voice. "Ryan stay here until I come back" I say as I pick up my keys and walk out to the car.

By the time Logan came home from work that afternoon it was nearly time to pick Alexis from school.

I just finished packing the suitcases as Logan drove his black suv into the driveway.

"Hey Ronnie, we going on a field trip?" he asked me as he walked over to me to kiss me. I hesitated and his lips met my cheek.

I don't think he noticed as he took my hand and let me inside.

"So I was thinking a quickie before we pick Alexis up?" he suggested.

God I hope Ryan can't hear this from his room.

"Maybe if you answer a question for me?" I said back in the same sexy tone he loved so much.

"Anything for you"

"How did Ryan, your son get those bruises on himself?"

Logan looked down and I knew he was guilty he knew he was too.

"we ran into each other yesterday in the kitchen while we were making dinner" he lied

"how can you lie to me like that I'm you wife I've known you since you were twelve! Have you even seen his face?" I yell at him.

"baby you got to understand I didn't mean it, I'm trying to change I promise you"

"and in that process you forget to tell me and hope you still get laid"

"well yeah, can't I do something without you knowing?" he yelled at me. I could fell his anger all around me.

"Don't you dare talk to her like that" I hear Ryan yell as he stand in front of me to protect me.

That was the first time Logan saw the damage he done to his son. I could see in his eyes what he was thinking.

I'm turning into him I'm turning into Aaron Oh god.

"Come one Ryan lets go" I say as I go and pick up my bag which was close to Logan.

"how long will you be gone for?" he asked me I could see if I stayed away too long he would fall apart completely.

"I need you Veronica" he pleaded.

"Logan we promised each other if this happened I had to leave as much as I don't want to. Logan I love you so much. But we need you control your anger before we come back" I kissed him on his forehead.

"I love you" I say as I walked away walking after Ryan to the car.

"If you loved me you wouldn't leave me" I herd him mutter as we walked out of our home.

Is this a good idea? Should I go on? Please comment.
