Time Frame: Present

Quinn's POV

The greatest tragedy in life is losing something that you thought would be yours forever. Stupidly allowing yourself to become so dependent on something that losing it is the equivalent of having your lungs slowly ripped out of your chest. One by one you feel the skin tearing, muscles breaking apart, gasping for air but never getting the full supply you need, completely hopeless. Your sad heart gradually losing beats per minute, pulsing for something to make it whole again. You almost wish it would stop just to relieve you from the pain. But there is no escape, and so your decrepit heart pathetically beats on, rendering you only pieces of what you were.

Pain like this is something no living creature should ever have to feel. Human kind has nothing to fear however, this situation is easily avoidable. The formula is simple, if you don't let x get close to y, then y can never hurt you.

I just wish I knew that then, I wish I'd never let y get that close.

Logan's POV

I did what I had to do. I'm not saying it was pretty, I'm not claiming it was the right thing to do. It was just the only thing I could come up with at the time. I really tried not to let it go that far. I didn't want to lose her, but I had to let her go. She refused to leave, and so I had no other choice, I did what had to be done. Now you can judge me all you want but you just don't know. Get back to me once you've walked a few inches in my shoes, and then tell me how you would have handled it. Then I'll tell you that that doesn't matter, 'cause it's not what I did. So just get off my back, okay? I know it may not seem like it, I mean I do have an image to maintain, but I do care. I care a lot. Too much. Then she started to care, too much, and it had to be done. It kills me to see her, to see that look on her face and know that I put that agony there, if only she knew it was to protect her. To give her the life she deserves. If only there was another way. Well, there isn't any that I know of, so I guess what's done is done. And for that, I will be eternally sorry.

A/N. Sorry for it being short, it's just a prologue; the next chapters should be longer. Also, this is my first fanfic so tell me what you think, I would love reviews. Thank you! See ya!
