Kids From One Alpha” By Selena Lynch Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Leaving Home

Logan stepped to the left, his foot falling through one of the boards. He groaned, Olivia screamed and Serena gasped. “I’m okay,” Logan called out. He got back on steady footing and retrieved Olivia from Serena’s arms. “I’ll follow you,” Serena said. Logan nodded, carefully bringing Olivia out of the bathroom. Oliver was seated on the floor, rocking back and forth, but holding the flashlight out just as Logan had asked. “Good job, buddy,” Logan said, setting Olivia down on the floor beside her brother. “Let me go help your mother.”

The sky was clearing. It was still early enough that the sun was up, bringing new light on the destruction of the house. Logan headed back to the bathroom. He held a hand out for Serena. She took it, and he carefully led her out of the dangerous room. He brought her to where the kids were.

“This can’t be as bad as it looks,” Serena said, looking at the damage from the tree. “We’ll get a better look when we get outside,” Logan assured. They each grabbed one of the kids. The stairs were still intact, so getting downstairs wasn’t too difficult. Logan was still careful in case there was structural damage. The walls were smeared with dirt and smooshed bark, water dripped from the hole in the roof, and there were still branches to navigate around. Getting outside wasn’t difficult, but it was precarious. Logan set Oliver down on the ground when he got outside. He looked at the damage from the outside. It didn’t look that horrible, but it would still take a lot to repair the damage. It wasn’t going to be an easy, overnight fix. “I should call my mother, make sure she got home safe,” Logan said when Serena joined him in the front. She nodded; her eyes nervous as she assessed the damage for herself.

Logan pulled his cellphone out and dialed his mom’s number.

“Logan are you alright? How are the kids, how is Serena?” Flo asked when she picked up the phone. Logan smiled. “I take it you and Holly are fine?” he asked. “We are,” she said. “We made it back before the storm really started.” “Good,” Logan said. “The kids are pretty shaken up, and a fallen tree caved in their roof. I don’t know how complicated it will be to repair the damage.” They’ll be needing a place to stay,” Flo.said, hinting at the obvious. Logan sighed.

“No, I don’t want special treatment,” she said turning to face Logan. He nodded. “Okay, but I do need to give you a place to stay,” he said. “I can’t let the twins be homeless.” “That is appreciated,” she said. “Good, it is settled then, there is plenty of space at my house,” he said. “What!?” Serena asked. “No, that’s not what I was agreeing to.” Logan smirked at her. “Come on, pack some of your things,” he urged. “Let the kids get their things too, whatever hasn’t been damaged. My house is big enough for the three of you.” “Logan, you do realize that the more you are nice to me, the more Holly will torment me,” she pointed out. Logan shrugged. “Let me worry about Holly,” he said. “It isn’t like we have a motel or bed and breakfast you can stay at. Adriana’s house is a one bedroom.
