Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101 or this song it's by Rascell Flatts.
A/N: so I keep hearing this song every time I turn on my iPod when I go to class and I keep imaging this. So I decided to write it down and see what happened. It's my first song fic and I am actually pretty proud of it. For all those of you who are reading Part 2: love and loss make the world go round, I am working on the next chapter, but this has been bugging me so I had to write it. Let me know what you think.
Enjoy. Well kind of, it's sort of depressing, alright really depressing.
Help me Remember
I know you're leavin'
As soon as the sun comes through the window
There's no talkin' this over
The damage is done.
"What is wrong with that?" Logan screamed, pounding the counter. He and Quinn were arguing, again.
"What's wrong with it? Are you kidding me?" Quinn could feel the tears again. The last few months had been nothing but tears, and she just couldn't do it anymore. "She's your ex!"
"So? Not like I love her or anything!" Logan screamed again, he rounded on the table Quinn was at.
"Are you sure?" Quinn asked calmly. Logan had been spending hours, working on a project with Melanie, and ex-girlfriend of his. But something else was going on, she knew it. "Are you sure you love me?" she looked up in his eyes. One glance gave her, her answer. And when he didn't quickly reply, she knew. "Okay,"
She rose from the chair and went to their bedroom. She took out her suitcase, and began to put her clothes in it, tears pouring from her eyes. She didn't want to leave but it was best, for both of them.
"Quinn, please don't!"His voice pierced her heart, but she didn't stop packing. They weren't the same anymore, she couldn't do it.
There's just too much hurt
And too much to forgive
Oh, but we both know
We weren't always like this
Tears continued to pour from her eyes, as she folded shirts. She had been living with Logan for two years, they were even engaged. She fingered the ring, slipping it off remembering
Help me remember
The way that we used to be
When nothin' else mattered
'Cause you were in love with me.
Flashback
They had been walking along a beautiful river path. The sun was shining, not a cloud was in the sky. Birds soared above and a light breeze blew, keeping them just cool enough. Quinn and Logan were walking hand in hand, smiling at each other.
Logan suddenly stopped pulling her over to a bench between two trees. They sat and he grasped her hands. She gave him a slightly confused look.
"This remind you of anything?" he asked her smiling. "Minus a horse."
Quinn laughed, it sure did. Like their first kiss. She nodded. "Yeah, it was the first time I saw the real side of you. It was when I fell for you." She smiled.
Logan took a deep breath. "That moment made me realize something, something I never knew existed," he was shaking. Quinn felt it, her mind began racing. Was he really going to do it? "Yeah?" she asked.
"I realized that I loved you and that I was possible for someone to love me," he smiled gently. Quinn had tears in her eyes, as she watched Logan get down on one knee. "Quinn, will you marry me and help that loving feeling grow, forever?"
Quinn couldn't speak; she just nodded, enveloping him in a passionate kiss and hug.
End Flashback
Now she had tears back in her eyes, but not tears that made her feel loved or happy, they were tears that destroyed her heart. They were supposed to make their love grow, not kill it. She sobbed as she put the ring on his dresser, gently kissing her fingers and pressing them to it. She turned and continued her packing.
Just for the night, one last time
One more good memory
When I look back
That's what I wanna see
Oh, help me remember
Logan was back in the doorway, watching her place her things neatly away. He saws a shimmer and glanced toward the dresser. Her ring was there, glistening on the wood, tearing his heart apart.
Those days were so good
Those nights that we held, held on forever
When we weren't pretenders
We were as real as we felt
Flash back
He held her close as the movie ended. The credits rolled and he noticed the tears in her eyes. "You okay?" He asked gently stroking her forehead.
Quinn sniffed glancing up. "Yeah, I'm alright. It's just so sweet. He loved her so much, he died for her."
Logan laughed. "Yeah, I guess," he didn't get all broken up over these movies; it just wasn't a Logan thing.
"You don't think that was wonderfully romantic?" she asked sitting up, staring at him.
"I guess," he saw the look in her eyes. "Oh you know I am not a hopeless romantic," he teased "But I would die for you, any day, any time."
Quinn, who was about to argue with
him, smiled gently, falling back on top of him. Logan wrapped his
arms around her waist, looking into her eyes. "I love you, baby."
Quinn smiled, snuggling her head into the crook of his neck. "I
love you too," she whispered. They fell asleep like that, holding
onto each other, forever.
Oh, I don't want to fight anymore
I don't want the last thing I hear tonight
To be a slammin' door
Baby, let it be like before
Logan walked over the dresser and picked up the ring, shaking. "What's this?" he couldn't believe it. He thought this was temporary, that she would be back. But her ring was there staring him in the face, and he couldn't take it
"Please, Logan don't" she whispered slightly. "Please." She pleased sadly
"How… why…" Logan had no words, none of this made sense. He trembled, looking her in the eye, before walking out t he room, slamming the door behind him. He walked to the living room collapsed on the couch in tears, squeezing the ring.
Quinn picked up her phone, dialed Zoey's number, and waited for it be answered, trembling.
Help me remember
The way that we used to be
When nothin' else mattered
'Cause you were in love with me
Oh just for the night, one last time
One more good memory
When I look back
That's what I wanna see
Flash back
This was stupid; they were at prom, but not together. All because they were afraid of what people would think. Logan was dancing with Stacy and Quinn was at the table, alone. Logan couldn't take his eyes off her. This was just stupid!
"I'm sorry Stacy, I can't do this," he withdrew he arms from her and turned from a shocked and hurt Stacy, watched by his friends who were confused. He walked over to Quinn and extended his hand "Dance with me?" he asked her.
She looked up, a huge smile spreading across her face. She was so hoping for this.
"Of course," she took his hand and followed him to the dance floor, where she wrapped her arms around him. Not caring about the shocked looks around them. She only saw and felt him and that was all that mattered.
This could be the last time
I look in your eyes
Quinn walked into the living room. Logan looked up anxiously. "Zoey will be here in half an hour." She said simply. They locked eyes, possibly for the last time. Both held sorrow, despair, and hurt. They both knew it was over and couldn't be fixed. Quinn turned away and left the room
Help me remember
The way that it used to be
When nothing else mattered
'Cause you were in love with me
Zoey carried Quinn's suitcase down the stairs and walked out the door without a word. Quinn followed, not chancing a glance back; if she did she wouldn't be able to do this.
Logan watched the car disappear and closed the door, sinking against the wall, sobs racking his body.
Help me remember
Help me remember
Help me remember
He would always remember her, he could never forget, ever.
