Dear Max,

I am sitting in bed beside you watching you sleep. The sun's just coming up, and
I can't bear the knowledge that I'll have to leave you soon.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I love you. I will *always* love you. But you
should be with your family. You've spent your whole life since the escape trying
to find them. No matter what, I can't be responsible for taking you away from
them once you've just found them.

I know, I know...it should be your decision. Or at least that's what you would
say. Looking over, I can practically see the words forming on your beautiful lips.
And you're right. But I'll take this opportunity to have the upper hand. I want
nothing for you except happiness, and I think that Zack and Jhondie are the
ones that will be able to give you that happiness.

So, I'm going to leave you with the lyrics to a song that I once heard. It's called
"Please Remember", and it's by LeAnne Rimes (Yes, I do actually listen to
country music.) :

Time.
Sometimes the time just slips away.
And you're left with yesterday;
Left with the memories.
And I,
I'll always think of you and smile.
And be happy for the time
I had you with me.
Though we go our separate ways,
I won't forget,
So don't forget
The memories we made.

Please remember.
Please remember.
I was there for you and you were there for me.
Please remember
Our time together,
When time was yours and we were wild and free.
Please remember.
Please remember me.

Goodbye;
There's just no sadder word to say.
And it's sad to walk away
With just the memories.
Who's to know what might have been?
We leave behind
A life, a time
We'll never know again.

Please remember.
Please remember.
I was there for you and you were there for me.
Please remember
Our time together,
When time was yours and we were wild and free.
Please remember.
Please remember me.

Please remember.
Please remember.
I was there for you and you were there for me.
Please remember
Our time together,
When time was yours and we were wild and free.
And remember.
Please remember me.

And how we laughed,
And how we smiled,
And how this world was yours and mine.
And how our dream was out of reach.
I stood by you, you stood by me.
We took each day
And made it shine.
We wrote our names across the sky.
we ran so fast, we ran so free,
'Cause I had you and you had me.
Please remember.
Please remember.

Please remember me, Max. You've given me so much, and I owe you more
than I will ever be able to repay. God knows I'll never forget you. If you ever
need me, you know where to find me. I'll be right here in this broken city,
waiting.

With more love than I can ever possibly hope to express in words,

Logan.

FIN.

Author's Notes: Woo-hoo!!!!!!! I'm *finished*!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!! You don't know how
happy that makes me. I hope you all enjoyed it, and a great big thank you to
everyone who reviewed. There is a follow-up series, I promise, but it may not be
up for awhile. Until then, "You are the weakest link. Goodbye!"

"What are you doing out here?" "What do you think I'm doing? I'm taking a
squeeze. I'm potty trained, you know." "Something wrong with the six toilets we
have at home?" - Dimitri and Sasha, MTV's "Spyder Games".

"I hope you're using protection." "No, I'm fathering little bastards all over town."
