Logan's POV

Katie sounded silly. How one remembered his other memories but only forgotten the painful ones could be explained by psychology, but no science could explain how he forgotten how to feel pain. Or like she put it: James had lost his pain sensory nerves in the car accident.

To say she was hallucinating was understatement too, on the other hand. Katie was always right. It was scary, but that little girl was always correct. She saw through things, and only after squinting and scrutinizing James for few weeks I couldn't help but to think as silly. James couldn't feel pain anymore.

Honestly, I was jealous.

Aching was something my heart had been doing for a long time. Happiness seemed so distant, when exactly the last time I truly felt happy? When James confessed to me. I had been surprised, shocked, and confused, but I was really in joy. I had imagined that we would have a happy ending together. Apparently the joy vanished gradually as my frustration grew, for not being able to reciprocate James's feelings. Guilt consumed my heart every second. And it was painful.

Breaking up with James didn't ease the pain at all. Worse even, because I had to see him wounded so badly. I wondered if I asked James, he would share the tips to me. Tips how to not to feel pain anymore.

It still sounded ridiculous. But Katie said, "Oh, you should ask him. I want to know his reaction."

James was playing with his handphone on the sofa when one day I decided to ask. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Katie hiding, eavesdropping, spying. That girl was really something.

"Hey, James…"

"Oh hey, Logie!" I tried not to care at the nickname James often used when we were 'dating'. "What's up?"

"Can I ask you something? It might sound idiotic but I've been very curious about this."

"Sure, Logie. What you thought idiotic is going to sound intelligent to me anyway."

"Um… how do you… How you…" I swallowed my own saliva, calming myself down. I'd just be blunt about it. "How exactly did you get over me?"

James looked surprised at my question. "Uh, you know, just walking around the streets outside Palm Woods in the morning, feeling the breeze…"

"Meet a pretty girl?"

"Yeah, meet a pretty girl..."

"And getting hit?"

He laughed. "And getting hit. But if one day you feel like heart broken or something, I don't recommend it." James motioned me to sit next to him. "Why? Do you like someone and wish to get over this person? A girl? A guy? Do I know this person? Why do you give up anyway? If it were you, no one would ever reject you!"

I was flabbergasted with the train of questions. How could I answer all that when I sucked at lying? I spared a glance towards Katie before taking a seat. "I'm just curious."

"What? Don't tell me you regret dumping me now?"

I choked. What a straight hit. "What? No I don't―"

"Just kidding." James ruffled my hair, emitting slight blush from me. "I bet you worry if I still have feelings for you. Maybe you still feel guilty? I said not to, Logan. I see you nothing more than a brother now, my bestest friend."

I decided that tomorrow I would walk on the streets outside Palm Woods area, feel the breeze, find a pretty girl or whatever, and if those didn't work, I would stand stark in the middle of the road for any car to run over me. Realizing you were in love with your best friend after rejecting them turned to be really painful. If I got over James too, that would do everyone's a favour right?

Early in the morning I got up and followed James 'advice'. Just with about ten minutes of walking, I got the point. The air in this area in the morning was really nice. There weren't any honking cars, not so many pedestrians, all in all peaceful. The morning breeze was also very much welcome. It was chilly because I didn't bring a jacket, but I got the calming effect it brought.

I searched my pocket for iPod I brought along. I plugged my headset and began walking while listening to the music, humming to myself and dancing along once a while. Putting shame aside sometimes was needed actually. I felt kind of free. My feet brought my body to wherever they liked, I honestly didn't care where I was heading, if I had any destination at all. I just wanted to walk and feel this freedom forever.

When I found a dead end, I only chuckled. I didn't even realize ever turning right or left, I thought I was still on the pavement. Turning back, it was actually another dead end. I began to freak out. How could that be? Did I have super power to walk through walls? I looked above, which didn't help at all because it was so dark, the light blocked by trees. So I did what I usually did when I reached highest level of freakoutmeter: passed out.

I woke up to another pitch of darkness, and beneath my feet was all black. I was floating? Cool. I never knew a severe broken heart could cause hallucination.

"Logan Mitchell."

Turning around, I was stunned to see a very beautiful being glowing in silver, staring at me. "It is your birthday and you are very unhappy, aren't you? You broke a dear's heart, and now you regret it."

I frowned. Birthday? Oh. It was September 14th. I didn't even care, my thoughts had been all about James nowadays. Tsk, now I was reminded again about James. "Yes. Who are you? How do you know about me? Where is this exactly?"

"People wish you a happy birthday so that the birthday boy feels happiness. I was created to ensure that." She flew closer towards me. "So wish something. I will grant you."

Then it clicked. James must have experienced this. It was his birthday that day and I broke up with him. He must have wished something. "Can I ask something first? Have you encountered a boy named James Diamond?"

She chuckled slightly. "The boy who asked me to never feel pain anymore. The most reckless wish I've ever granted."

It was true then. "Can I wish to turn back the time? To the time before I dumped him?"

"Logan, that's not very wise, you know? I have to erase their memories, while you're the only one who knows how fucked up things have ever gotten. Or maybe you want me to erase yours too, but that way, neither of you can learn not to make the same mistake again. You might still not recognise your own feelings and go on break James's heart again."

She was right though. I didn't really think when I asked that. It was great that she cared and not just grant the wish as soon. "Then I want to cancel James's wish. Return whatever you take from him, his feelings, his nerves, everything. Please, I want to make things right."

The fairy smiled in joy. "I know you'll make things right. Otherwise I wouldn't grant James's wish in the first place."

Some weird mist and bright light engulfed me and I closed my eyes with strong determination.

James's POV

"Ouch!" I yelped, spitting blood. One of disadvantages of not having pain sensory nerve was that I couldn't control how much pressure that normally would have hurt. Like when I brushed my teeth. Since that day, almost in daily basis I destroyed my own gums. I never felt it until I tasted the blood with my tongue, but today had been different. It actually hurt!

Did the wish have time limit or something? Why didn't that fairy tell me anything?

I got out of the bathroom when I heard the front door opened. I constantly remembered Logan, who was gone before everyone woke up. But remembering him making my stomach flutter and my heart clench, and fuck the fairy, all my feelings for Logan were back, along with the painful reminder of rejection.

I was also reminded that today was Logan's birthday. And I didn't prepare him anything.

Even as friend I was terrible. No wonder he could never fall for me... Sigh, what was I doing, pitying my self again?

Logan entered our room a second later, causing my heart to jump. However I gasped seeing how badly injured he was, like he had just got beaten up. Not thinking anymore I quickly approached him, catching him as his balance wore off. "Logan what happened? Where did you go?"

He didn't answer. Instead, he grabbed my right hand, which was still bandaged, and I winced. It actually hurt. I gave him questioning look when he grinned so widely instead of being sorry. "I don't know if this is essential or just her despicable sense of humour," he growled. "That we end up covered in injuries but we had no memories of getting hit by a car or getting beaten up by gangsters, I mean."

My eyes dilated at his last sentence. What? Did Logan just―

"I was unhappy in my birthday. So I wished her to give you back all she has taken from you."

"Why?"

"You cannot live without pain, James. That's one of emotions people live with. Without pain your world will be so dull and physically, that's so dangerous. What if you get burned and you only realized it when you feel the heat? By that time you might have lost your entire arm or hair."

Hearing the latter example making me chuckle, "Yes it is dangerous if my hair is at stake." Logan looked at me in disbelief when I preferred my hair to my arm. "But my question is, why are you unhappy? I thought you've got a perfect life. You're successful in the band, you're smart, you're everything everyone wants to be." I helped him towards the bed, arranging the pillows so he could lie comfortably.

"I am no smart. I did something stupid that I regret it everyday."

"Accepting my confession last Valentine?" I asked, sounding pathetic even to myself.

Logan stared deeply at me, making me flinch. "Nope. Actually, that's the happiest day of my life. It's just as the time goes on, I began to worry if I couldn't reciprocate your feelings."

Oh... He already explained that. I guessed I was just too clouded with my anger to notice that Logan never really wanted to hurt me. He really thought and wanted to be with me, but love couldn't be forced, could it? "Then?"

"Then on your birthday, I broke us up. I don't want to lead you on anymore, it's just cruel. Now that, was what I regret doing the most. I gave up halfway, not patient enough. It took you being hit by a car to realize that I cannot live without you. Loving you or not, I need you, more than I need Kendall and Carlos. Heck, I even cared about you more than I cared about me..."

My heart thumped so fast. Why? Why was Logan saying all this? Was this gonna be a confession? I was scared to hope, but I couldn't help it. "To top it all, when you said you're over me, I got my heart broken. I had been unhappy since then. Katie told me you lost your pain sensory nerve and as much as no logic could accept that, I believed her. She was Katie after all, she's always right. And I asked you about what you did that day, I did it today, and this was how I ended up." Logan's eyes travelled at the scratches, bruises, and wounds all over his body. "I don't think I am forgiven but I need you to at least know that I... have the same feelings. I love you..."

I couldn't believe my ears. Did Logan really just say the three words he never spoke before? To me? He finally loved me too? "I don't forgive people so easily like Carlos would, you know?" At my words, Logan turned the other way, hiding his face. I had wanted to inflict on him a little pain but the view tore my heart as well. So I hugged him from behind. "But I do forgive you. You wish for her to return what she has taken, that means including my feelings for you. Now, I love you too. Can never get over you with my own strength."

I kissed his cheeks, feeling his smile widened. "Don't ever dump me anymore, please?"

"I'm not doing the same stupid mistake." Logan turned back, facing me and lifted up to kiss my lips, which I responded eagerly. "I love you. Sorry for not realizing it sooner and for breaking your heart."

"I couldn't also deal with the pain of your rejection. But for you I'm willing to risk my heart again." I climbed to lie next to him and pulled him close. "I love you, too."

Katie's POV

Awesome. They made it right!

I knew once again I was proven correct. I didn't really understand about the fairy thingy the two were speaking about, but I could careless about it. The most important thing was that they were happy together, now they loved each other equally.

"Katie? What are you doing there? Come on help me with Logan's cake!" I heard Mom calling from the kitchen. With a contented grin, I closed the door gap I was eavesdropping from and walked away from their room. At this point, I had to stop interfering. Let them work the rest out by themselves.
