If I could change my life
Be a simple kind of man try to do the best I can
if I could take the sides
I'd derail every path I could
now I'm about to die
won't you clear away from me
give me strength to fly away
Was it life I
betrayed
for the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
it's not easy to win
did I drink too much
could I disappear
and there's nothing that's left but wasted years

The sun shined through a small window at the top of the jail cell. Logan sat against the wall staring at the small square of light on the concrete floor; he could just hear a few birds chirping somewhere nearby. He had been seriously thinking of escape a few minutes earlier but it had come down to one simple question, where would he go?
Closing his eyes he listened to the sound of footsteps approaching his cell accompanied by the smell of food, his last meal…
He heard the key being put into the lock and the door open followed by a heavy 'Clang!' and the door closing again. The key was then pulled out of the lock and the footsteps disappeared back down the hall.
He opened his eyes finding a tray of food sitting on the ground with a can of beer next to it.
"Steak, potatoes and a beer…" He sighed staring at the food, the scent of it all made him feel nauseous.
He watched the food grow cold and the beer grow warm then the guard came back and took it away, leaving behind only the scent.

Kitty found herself wandering around the hallways with her laptop, trying to clear her mind off of everything that had happened in the past week. She stopped and leaned against the wall and slid down it as she opened her laptop.
'Dear Mom and Dad,
Sorry I haven't written in a while.
Everyone around here has been in a slump. Ever since we lost both Rogue and Mr. Logan."
Sighing, she closed her laptop and stood back up finding that she had been sitting in front of Logan's door. She reached out to open the door but couldn't bring herself to touch the knob. After a few more moments of hesitation she pushed open the door, and gasped when she thought she had seen Rogue sitting on the bed.
"Oh my God, I'm like loosing it now." She sighed rubbing her eyes with her free hand.
Walking over to the bed she sat down on the floor and leaned against the frame as she opened her laptop back up.
"Mr. Logan and Rogue had some sort of bond, a father daughter kind of bond. Since Rogue never really had, or knew, her real parents Logan filled the spot as father for her. She told me this while Mr. Logan was sick, right before she died."
"Hey Kitty, what are you doing in here?"
Startled, Kitty closed her laptop and looked up finding Jean standing in the doorway looking at her quizzically.
"Just… writing to my parents," She sighed, "It's hard to believe that Mr. Logan's never coming back, Rogue either."
Jean nodded, " I know. I was just thinking the same thing."
"I never thought I'd say this, but… I'm gonna miss Mr. Logan's training sessions." Kitty smiled half-heartedly.
"Me too." Jean admitted sitting down next to Kitty with a sigh.
"I miss them."
"Me too."

Professor Xavier sat in his wheel chair in front of a window that lead into a sterile white room with a table in the center and a cot of some sort next to it. A few minutes later Logan was brought in, he looked up at the window then looked away as he was instructed to lie on the cot. He was then strapped down and left alone as they got the needles prepared.
~I'm sorry Chuck~
Xavier frowned, ~I know Logan, I know~
Logan nodded leaning his head back against the headrest trying not to look at the needles lying next to him. Suddenly his arm was pricked as an I.V tube was inserted into his vein.
~Goodbye my friend~ Charles sighed watching as the last needle was set down and Logan's breathing had slowed to a stop.
