Prologue
"Logan, are we there yet?" asked Marie looking out the window of the moving bus.
It was raining and the roads were slippery making the bus ride even more slower than usual.
"I told you five minutes ago that I had no idea!" responded a very annoyed and sleep deprived Logan.
"I'm sorry; it's just that we've been on this bus for almost a week. I don't know about you, but I'm getting kind of bored of just sitting here on our asses doing nothing but watching fields of partly dried grass and a bunch of woods pass by."
"Why don't you go socialize with the kids your age?"
Marie gave him an annoyed look while Logan closed his eyes and tried to recline on his seat. She turned her body and kneeled on her seat as she tried to talk to the "kid her age" that was sitting in back of them.
"Hey John, John," she whispered to the guy in back of her. He slowly shifted in his sleep. Marie turned around and saw her pillow on the floor. She got her pillow and turned around facing her sleeping friend. Quickly, she threw the pillow at his face causing him to wake up with a start.
"What the hell do you want Marie!" he quietly yelled at her.
"I'm bored; I need to talk to someone."
"Don't you ever sleep?" he said throwing the pillow back at her.
"John, you've been sleeping since we left the last rest-stop, and that was almost six hours ago."
John rubbed his eyes, "You know, its times like this that I regret meeting you at the first rest stop."
"Ha, ha, ha. That was so funny, I forgot how to laugh. Where's Peter and Remy anyways?"
"Peter went to lie down in the back of the bus, and Remy's talking to that med student up front."
Marie turned her head in the direction Johns chin pointed to. Sure enough there was Remy, talking and laughing with the red headed med student. Marie sighed as she turned her face back towards John. He noticed the disappointed look on her face.
"Somebody's jealous." he said grinning.
"Me jealous, of what?"
"Of the fact that Remy would rather talk to Jean than you. Personally, I don't blame him, she's very attractive."
"First of all, she's 25, which is way to old for him since he just turned 19. Second of all, I'm not jealous."
"Either way, don't worry about it. Remy is hooked and most likely in love with you."
"H-how do you know?" she said trying to hide the excitement in her voice.
"He told me."
"Oh."
She looked out the window that John laid his head against. She smiled slowly as she remembered how she met the guys about two days ago at the first rest stop. Logan had to go to the men's room and told her not to get into trouble. She walked around the small store and started messing around with some sunglasses, seeing which ones looked better on her and which ones looked completely stupid. Remy saw her and walked up to her.
"I like the ones you had on before." He told her.
"These?" she asked putting them on.
"Yea. I'm Remy by the way and these are my friends John and Peter." He said as his two friends walked up to join them.
"I'm Marie."
"Hey," said Peter, "you're the one with the tough looking guy right?"
"Yea, his name is Logan and he's a really nice guy once you get to know him."
"So are guys like an item or something?" asked John.
"No," said Marie with a disgusted look, "he's my legal guardian. He's like a father to me."
"Oh, good 'cos I though we had a pedophile on the bus." Remy said jokingly.
"No, of course not!"
The guys noticed Logan walking towards them with an intimidating look on his face.
"Marie," he said, "Mr. Lensherr said its time to get back."
"Ok Logan, I'll go right now."
Logan nodded and eyed the guys slowly as he walked away.
"I guess I'll talk to you later." said Remy as he turned to leave with his friends.
"Yea, later"
"I'll look forward to it" Remy said as he walked away not being able to take his eyes away from hers until he walked out the door.
A bump on the road brought Marie back to reality. She looked down at John who had again fallen asleep. She sat back in her seat and turned to look at Logan who was woken up by another bump on the road. Suddenly, she felt the bus begin to shake. It felt almost like thunder and lightning were hitting the roof of the bus. She turned to Logan who was just as shocked as she was.
"What was that?" she asked.
But before he could answer her, the bus swerved off the road and fell down a fifty foot cliff.
