Chapter 7
Alex was sleeping for the longest time, it was one of the best sleeps she had in a long time. When she went to roll over she felt something tug on her arm, and her shoulder was killing her. She groaned a bit then peered out of her eye to see herself hook up in the hospital wing. Her eyes rolled then she sat up a little and saw her shoulder. It slowly came back to her what happened and a small smile appeared on her face. She pulled out the needle in her arm and looked around, she was alone. As she went to get up she heard the door open and her head snapped up to see who it was. Her mouth almost fell open, but she kept it together. Logan was staring at her like he was debating something in his head. Alex could feel her heart smack against her ribs. She didn't know what to expect, and the silence was killing her.
"So, Did ya come here trying to match the other shoulder?" Her eyes glanced at her wound then at him. He rolled his eyes but said nothing to her.
"Good god Logan fucking say something. If not then you're going to let me through." Her tone got angry, but she settled herself when he started to talk.
"I'm sorry, for attacking you." He grumbled at first then really looked at Alex. "I don't know anything about my past still. I get flashes of somethings, but others I never really get a good look at. I just want to know what you know and then you're free to leave and go anywhere you want, I don't care really I just want the information." Alex's heart dropped when he stopped talking. She didn't want to look at him anymore this was becoming more painful then she thought it was going to be.
"I'll tell you everything then." Alex said with a sigh. "I left here around 18 which I believe is what you know. I 'm sure Storm told you a bit about me." She smirked a bit. "And I'm assuming she told you about a man I fell in love with." She eyed him a bit, but then saw his head nod. "Good, well that man was you." She stopped for a moment seeing his reaction, she almost started to laugh but she stopped herself. "I met you long ago Logan before you had the claws. It was almost like love at first sight, it was amazing. Hell we had been together so long you purposed to me." She said touching the ring around her neck. "But then..you were stupid enough to go off.." Alex stopped regaining control of her emotions. "Anyway after that you never came back. I heard rumors that you were still alive, but your memory was gone. I found out it was all true when I came back here and you tried your little stunt with me. I was shocked. It was you after all this time, here in the place I grew up and loved. That's all I know Logan..is our history." Her voice cracked a bit while tears rolled down her eyes. Logan was standing there with a stunned look on his face. It couldn't be, the only woman he ever loved was Jean. But the dream he had started to make since the woman in it was her. They stared at each other for the longest time till Alex got up.
"I'll be going now then." She said walking past him. He didn't move at first, he wasn't sure what to do. Alex had her shirt in her hand and put it on as she made her way upstairs. When she got there the kids were all looking at her. Some gave her dirty looks, but the others knew she wasn't bad. Hank stopped her as she made her way to the door.
"Come on don't go. We could really use you here, we need another teacher." He said trying to convince her. Fresh tears were still rolling down her face when she looked up at her friend.
"I'm sorry, but I need a break. I'll come teach..I just need some fresh air Hank. I think I might get sick or something." Then she was out the door and in a car taking off down the road.
Meanwhile Logan was still downstairs leaning against the wall. He didn't want to believe anything this woman had told him. But deep down something was telling him he loved her. Long ago, a love that was deep for her. He punched the wall then went upstairs to see if she had actually left. Hank ran into him and told him that she was just going to be gone for a little while. Logan nodded and went up to his room. So much to think about, and a choice he had to make. To either ignore this woman and her stories. Or to accept the truth and start again..
