Chapter 4: Necessity

It had been one week since they spoke. The last week had been so hard on him. He was barely eating and had very little sleep. Quinn refused to speak to him. She didn't eat any meals with their group. Zoey and Lola weren't speaking to him either.

Chase and Michael were somewhat more forgiving and felt much more pity for him. Everyday they saw him stare at a blank wall or saw him lying in bed, not doing much. He stopped playing basketball or even going outside except for classes. His whole mind was concentrated on Quinn. He either kept replaying the day he told Quinn about Candace or trying to find ways to get Quinn back into his life. It was increasingly difficult as she completely ignored him and vanished after classes.

Flashback

She didn't come to breakfast. She didn't pick up his phone calls or text messages he sent for the entire weekend. He needed to talk to her. He needed to see her.

She walked into first period English with her hair perfectly combed into curls. Her clothes perfectly matched. She looked beautiful, yet Logan felt hurt. Did she not feel the same pain that he was feeling without her? She walked right passed him without even giving him a glance and walked top a seat in the back past her usual spot beside Logan.

He couldn't say he wasn't expecting it. He deserved her silence, but it still pierced his heart. He stomach clenched and all he could do was look down and cover his face in his desk. He felt his eyes go wet and furiously started blinking to hold them back.

His mind kept wandering towards Quinn as the teacher began her lecture. There was no way she was going to talk to him. He was so desperate. He needed a different way to get her attention.

End Flashback

There was no way she was going to show Logan how hurt she was. She was going to pretend like their relationship meant almost nothing to her. She wanted him to hurt, just as badly as she hurt so everyday she dressed as best as she could hiding any sense of longing in her appearance. She still couldn't bear talking to him that's why she skipped almost all her meals with her friends to be alone. She knew he would be there and even if he wasn't, she wouldn't rish that chance.

She was walking down the hallway towards her dorm during a free period moving closer to her room when she felt arms wrap around her and push her against the wall.

Logan held her arms tight against the wall above her head with her back against the wall and her face inches away from Logan's.

"Logan, what are you doing...?" Quinn looked at him strait in the eye. She hadn't been this close to him in so long. She missed his smell, his body against hers, and that way he looked at her. Now his eyes were so depressed, so lost and scared. She badly wanted to hold him and tell him that everything would be ok, but she couldn't, she just remembered...

"Quinn, you need to talk to me. I know what I did was wrong, but I need you. I'll never do it again. I never want to come this close to losing you ever again." He could feel her try to squirm out of his arms, so he tightened his grip. He was too strong for her. "Please, trust me. I'll never hurt you like that again."

He looked at her with pleading eyes. He wanted her to believe him so badly. He was telling the truth. The last week had been torture for him. He didn't want to re-live that pain ever again.

"Logan...I don't...it's just..." Quinn continued to squirm. She didn't know how to answer him. She needed him in her life just as much as he did, but she couldn't get past his mistake. She realized she had to face this. "Logan, just let go of me. Let's talk inside."

Logan saw a glimer of hope as he followed Quinn into her dorm room.

a/n: So the next chapter should have a lot of drama and angst between Logan and Quinn. Please review, I need encouragement to keep writing and even if you don't like it tell me. Thanks.
