Tortured Hearts

Chapter 4: Proposals, Weddings and Accidents

Logan unlocked the door when they got home and held it open for Meranda. She walked in quickly and began to rub her hands together. It had gotten cold fast this year and a lot earlier than usual. She undid her coat and hung it on the rack before turning on the light.

"Meranda we need to talk," Logan said seriously. "About us."

Meranda turned to face him, fear in her eyes. She didn't like when he used that tone and it worried her about where this conversation might be heading. "Okay," she replied sitting down on the couch. "What's wrong?"

Logan paced for a moment before speaking. "I love you."

"I love you too. What's going on Logan?"

Logan kept pacing, running his hand through his hair. "I love you a lot. More than I've ever loved anything else, and I know I'm not good enough for you and I know I haven't really told you everything about my past, but the past isn't really important right? We're not our past but our present and our future..." Logan kept pacing as he rambled on.

Finally Meranda had all that she could bare and got up off of the couch. She quickly crossed over to Logan and placed her hand on his arm, forcing him to look at her. "Honey, your past is your past and is important but can't be changed. And no matter what you've done in it, it doesn't change who you are now. Or how much I love you now. So just tell me what you want to tell me," she said smiling at him.

Logan looked in her eyes for a long moment before putting his hand in his pocket pulling the ring box out and opening it before her. "Will you marry me?"

Tears welled in Meranda's eyes as she looked from the ring to Logan. "What do you think?" She asked throwing her arms around him and hugging him tightly.

6 Weeks Later

Meranda and Logan stood facing each other in the middle of the clearing in the woods near their home. An altar had been set up and the local Wiccan High Priestess stood before them, performing the hand binding ritual that would make them one.

Cece and her boyfriend Anthony stood out as witnesses with the rest of the coven. Cece couldn't believe the look of pure happiness on Meranda's face.

Logan had never seen Meranda so happy, and never felt so happy himself. He never lost eye contact with her throughout the ceremony.

"Now, by the Power of God and the Goddess I pronounce you one. May you live in perfect love and perfect trust till the end of time. Blessed be." The Priestess pronounced.

Their lips met and they both knew that they would be happy for the rest of their lives.

3 Years Later

Logan paused in the kitchen doorway to see Meranda dancing around the stove. She was wearing one of his flannel shirts and a pair of tight jeans that made him think about canceling the camping trip with Cece and Tony and staying home in bed forever instead.

Dancing in the Moonlight blared from the radio as Meranda danced around singing and packing up their food for the trip.

"Dancing in the moonlight. Everyone is feeling warm and bright. It's such a fine and natural sight, everybody dancing in the moonlight!" Meranda sang, unaware that Logan was watching her. She spun around to put the bread back in the cabinet and screamed when she saw him standing there, a suggestive smile on his face.

"Don't do that! You scared me," Meranda said walking over to the cabinet and placing the bread inside.

"I didn't mean to scare you darlin'," Logan replied walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist. "I was just enjoying the show," he started kissing her neck. "What do you say we stay home and you can dance for me some more?"

"Logan stop," Meranda said playfully. "Besides, we've backed out of this every time for the past month. We promised we'd go camping with them this time and we're going," Meranda spun in his arms and wrapped hers around his neck. "Besides, don't you think it'd be nice to make love outside under the stars?"

Honk! Honk!

"Oh, they're here!" Meranda said pulling away and grabbing for the basket and heading for the front door.

"If you insist," Logan said grabbing their bags on the way out the door.

Cece stood next to their truck smiling. "I see you didn't back out this time," she said smiling, holding up a camera. "Come on, pose for a picture. It's a Polaroid and I want to see if it works."

"Who us?" Logan asked throwing their bags into the back of their truck. "Wouldn't dream of skipping out on this," Logan grabbed Meranda who wrapped her arms around him and smiled, laying her head against his chest.

Meranda broke away after the picture and ran over to Cece. "How are you feeling today?" she asked putting her hand over Cece's belly and feeling the baby kick inside.

"Great and can't wait for this trip so lets get going. Here," Cece handed Meranda the picture that was already beginning to develop.

"Thanks."

"You guys are going to follow us right Logan?" Tony asked helping Cece back into the truck as Meranda headed over to theirs.

"Yep, just don't drive to slow," Logan replied helping Meranda into the vehicle and shutting the door behind her. He walked around and climbed in starting the engine.

"Just see if you can keep up," Tony replied starting his engine and pulling out into the road.

Inside the truck, Meranda fastened her seat belt and looked over at Logan as they pulled out and began following Tony toward the mountains. "Logan, please put your seat belt on. I know you don't have to worry about it but I do."

"Alright darlin'. Whatever makes you happy," Logan replied, pulling the seat belt around and fastening it. "So, are you excited?"

"Yeah," Meranda said placing her hand on her own stomach and smiling, looking down at the picture in her hand.

"I meant about the camping trip," Logan replied laughing. "I know we're both excited about that," Logan placed his hand on her belly and smiled glancing over at her.

"I'm excited about both," she smiled back at him.

Logan turned back to the road in time to see the tree fall in front of them. He didn't have time to stop.

"LOGAN LOOK OUT!" Meranda screamed as the truck hit hard. Meranda's head flew forward and slammed hard into the dashboard as the truck crumpled and everything went black.

Logan woke up a few moments later, the smell of gasoline and blood in the air. He quickly undid his seat belt and looked over at Meranda. She was crumpled in the passenger's seat, her head forward and bleeding badly, the picture clutched tightly in her hand.

"Meranda?" Logan said leaning forward and undoing her seat belt, pulling her out of the seat. "MERANDA!" He yelled trying to get her to wake up. He turned and kicked out the door and pulled her out.

"Logan!" Cece yelled coming up from around the tree, Anthony on her heels. "Are you guys okay? We saw the tree fall in the rearview mirror. Is she alright?"

"No she's not. She won't wake up."

"Come on, let's get her in the truck." Cece reached out to help lift up Meranda but Logan pushed her hand away.

"I've got her," Logan lifted her gently up and carried her toward Anthony's truck. He stopped suddenly and sniffed the air. Something didn't smell right, but he didn't have time to stop and investigate.
