Ch:4
As they walked, Jean kept looking around into the woods where the snow remained on the tree branches, giving everything a fairytale feeling. She got a chill suddenly and hugged Logan's arm tighter.
"Cold?"
Jean shivered slightly. It wasn't too cold out, but when she hastilly left the kitchen, she didn't bother grabbing a jacket and was only wearing a sweater and scarf. "A little."
Logan stopped, taking off his leather jacket and wrapping it around Jean's shoulders.
She put her arms in the sleaves, then intertwined her arms and Logan's again. "Won't you be cold now?"
Logan shrugged. He was wearing a flannel shirt and wasn't really cold anyway. "Nah, not really."
Jean smiled, looking all around again. "It's like a winter wonderland around here."
Logan half-smiled and continued walking. ~Maybe I should jus' tell her the way I feel 'bout her. I don't wanna hurt her though..she's been through enough already.~
Jean kicked at the snow in the path. ~Logan, I think I'm falling in love with you. I can't just say that. What if he doesn't feel the same way? What if all this time he comforted me, he was just being a nice guy?? What if I'm still in love with Scott? Was I ever in love with Scott in the first place or was I just trying to get over Logan then?~
They continued walking silently for awhile, both thinking about their feelings for eachother.
~*~*~Later that day, Jean ended up running into Scott in the hallway. This time, she didn't avoid him, she was going to tell him straight out. Jean had made up her mind; even if she wasn't sure that she loved Logan, she knew that whatever she had (or didn't have) with Scott was over.
"Jean, there you are. I've been looking for you all day." Scott said with a bit of resentment in his voice.
Jean looked right at him, wincing inwardly at what she was about to say. She had a feeling that Scott knew what was going on, or atleast had seen some of it by the way Jean was acting recently. "Scott, *sigh* I don't know what happened between us, but I don't want to be with you anymore....I don't *love* you." She bowed her head for a second, then looked directly at Scott again. Jean could tell that he was angry, jealous even, but she had to do it. "I'm sorry."
Scott shook his head. "No, I'm sorry Jean. I'm sorry I wasn't enough for you." After saying those last words bitterly, he turned around and walked down the hall.
~That went well.....I wonder where Logan is.~ Jean used her telepathy to scan around for Logan. It wasn't easy to do so, but she finally got to him. *-Logan?-*
Logan was in the garage working on his motorcycle when Jean contacted him. *-Hey Jeannie.-*
All of a sudden Jean had a feeling that Logan was taking off. She couldn't be sure, but usually when he worked on his bike like that he took off afterwards. Jean was working on getting closer to him and she didn't want to-no she couldn't loose him now. *-You going somewhere?-*
Logan could sense the nervousness through their mind link. *-Nope, jus' fixin' up the bike-*
Jean didn't know if he was telling the truth or not. *-You sure?-*
Logan projected a mental smile at Jean. *-I'm sure.-*
Jean grinned to herself, inwardly sighing. *-Good. Could you meet me in the rec room?-*
*-Sure Jean, jus' gimme a sec.-*
Jean then closed their link, nervously smiling to herself and headed towards the rec room. Her heart was beating furiously and she was nearly giddy with excitement. Jean mentally contemplated if she should tell Logan that she had broken up with Scott. ~Waitaminute Jean....what the hell am I going to say to him? God, I'm so stupid, I can't tell him how I feel now....not now.~ She mentally cursed herself. Now Jean had to think up an excuse as to why she wanted Logan to meet her.~*~*~
