When Logan saw she was throwing up blood, he ran back to the car and pulled out a cell phone to call the hospital. As he was making the call he went around the car to get back to Jubilee.
Not knowing what else to do he held back her head and gave directions to the operator. After he gave directions to where they were located at he snapped the phone shut and turned his full attention to Jubilee. While stroking the back of her shirt in comfort he whispered soothingly, "Shh, its ok. The ambulance will be here any second. The operator said for you to take deep breaths of air." Seeing that she was no longer throwing up, he gently leaned her back against the seat.
Her face was pale like a ghost. He didn't like that. With her black leather outfit it really brought out the shallowness of her face. "Wolvie, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen."
"Its ok, darlin'. Don't try to talk. Just relax."
She smiled up at him and it made his heart beat faster, "This isn't the way X-Men are supposed to be huh. They're supposed to be though right up to the end, not sick and useless like me."
As he was about to say a reply he heard sirens coming in the distance, "They're almost here." He could tell by the way her eyelids were fluttering that she was on the verge of passing out.
Her hand reached out towards his face and let it caress his cheek. Logan was surprised at the warm feelings that rushed through him. For the time being it was like time had frozen and all that stood for them was just that moment. It was shattered by the ambulance arriving. In a matter of minutes they had Jubilee loaded up with directions for Logan to follow.
Logan stood there and watched as the ambulance with Jubilee in it took off. He got back into the car he had "borrowed" to follow only something held him back The urge to be by himself, before he walked into a place that smelled of sickness and death, was strong. He did a u-turn and went the opposite direction towards a state park. He staid there in the woods all night and just meditated.
The next morning when Logan, still in his rumpled clothing from the night before, went to the hospital Jubilee was not in her there. Instead a pert young nurse gave him a note saying the young girl hadn't wanted to stay after arriving. He took the note without thanking her and went out to a bench that was in front of the hospital.
Dearest Wolvie
We've had some great adventures and now its time for me to go on alone. For once you stuck by me and now it will be me running. I'm sorry. Through the grapevine I have heard of a doctor in Mexico who uses a new method to heal cancer. I must try it. No longer will I be suffering doctors and their needles. If it doesn't work, think of this as a beginning and not an ending. If at all possible I will return as soon as the treatments are done. If not, I have lived a long and rewarding life being your sidekick. Please don't try to find me; this is something I have to do on my own. I need to find myself again and stop whining about why me.
Love you. Always have and always will.
Jubesters.
As he was about to howl in rage Logan took deep calming breaths. "Ok, if that's the way you want it Jubes, you can have your peace. Two months I will give you and then I'm coming for you. And if you are still sick, we will find a cure for you!
