Sorry I didn't update fast, people. I had all these tests and homework…-sighs- I just remembered this fic and wrote this in the middle of the night. Then I forgot to post it, so now I'm posting. I'm so tired. Can I just skip the letters to my reviewers? Pretty please? Whether you say yes or no, I'm going to skip them anyway. Sorry people, but I'm just so tired. -yawns- Sorry. Now here's the chapter:

Chapter 17

Third Person's Pov

Ororo sat all alone on her armchair, unmarked tests in front of her. She looked out into the night and sighed. She knew Jean was her best friend, and she knew that Logan didn't have any feelings for her, but she couldn't help feeling that a flash of jealousy when she saw them together. Logan's been spending less and less time with her lately, and more with Jean. It pained her to see Jean, Logan and baby Blaze all together like a family. It was like she didn't belong in the picture. Ororo sighed. Suddenly, she heard the doors to the mansion open and someone walk in. The weather goddess got up and to see a very drunk Jean swagger into the room.

"Jean! Why did you drink so much!?" Ororo asked as Jean collapsed into her arms.

"Ororo? Is that you?" Jean said, her words slurred.

"Yes. Why did you drink so much? I thought you were with Logan, " Ororo said as she led Jean to the couch.

"Logan? Is that you? I love you Logan!" Jean shouted, clinging onto her, "I need you Logan, please don't leave me…."

"Jean, I…"

"Logan. Please I need you. I can't live without you," Jean cried.

"I'm not Logan, Jean! I'm Ororo! Your best friend! Remember?" Ororo grabbed Jean's shoulders and shook her back and forth.

"Ororo? My best friend?" Jean said, her eyes crossing.

"Yes Jean. Now it's time for bed…"

"No!" Jean shouted, "Please Roro, give me Logan back! Please! I need him!"

"Jean…I…."

"Please," she begged, "You're beautiful and talented, all men like you. It'll be so easy for you to find someone else. But I have a son! It'll be impossible to find a man that would like me now…only Logan would. He's the only man that didn't seem to look down on me now. I know what everybody's talking about me. Even the kids! The only people that aren't, are you and Logan! Please! I beg you! Please!" Just as Ororo was about to reply, Jean fainted from all the beers she drank. Sighing, Ororo lifted Jean back onto the couch and sat down beside her. She felt a headache coming.

"Ororo?" The weather goddess looked up to see Scott walking in, looking at her with concern. She gave him a small smile and looked down at her hands. The couch sank down as Scott sat down next to her.

"I heard everything you and Jean said. I know you must be very confused right now, Roro. You're getting sadder and sadder each day because of Logan and Jean. It hurts me to see you like this, 'Ro," Scott said, "I miss your smiles. I know you love Logan a lot, but it isn't possible to share a man you love. It'll only cause suffering for everybody. I know you don't want to let Logan go, but don't you think that instead of three people suffering, it would be better if only one person did?"

"Scott…I…please go. I need some time to think," Ororo said quietly, trying to keep the tears from falling. Scott nodded and got up.

"Just remember what I said Ororo." And with that, he left. Ororo wrapped her arms around herself and bit her lip. Could she really let Logan go? Was it possible? She wanted to tell herself that she would never let Logan go, but a part of her agreed with what Scott said.

"Logan…I need you…" Jean muttered in her sleep. Looking down at Jean, Ororo suddenly realized how much Jean needed him. Jean really did need him more than her…..

The Next Day…

Logan watched into the kitchen, his stomach grumbling.

"I need some food," he muttered. Just as he was about to reach over and open the fridge, he heard a voice coming from the counter beside him.

"Duh you need some food. I mean, considering your size…."

Logan turned around to see a black cell phone on the counter.

"Oh no, it's you again," Logan groaned.

"It's not like I want to see you again either! I'm just here to give you a message from Ororo," X34 said smugly.

"Ororo? What's the message?"

"I hope you won't be heartbroken after you hear this, Loggie," X34 said, pretending to look sad.

"What does she want to tell me!? Why would I be heartbroken?!" Logan narrowed his eyes.

"Here's Ororo's message: It's over. Jean needs you more than I need you."

"WHAT!?" Logan shouted, "What does she mean by 'it's over'?!"

"I dunno," X34 smirked. The enraged and confused Wolverine picked up X34 and shook it back and forth.

"TELL ME! WHAT ELSE DID SHE SAY!?"

"She didn't say anything else! I swear! Put me down!" X34 cried. When Logan was sure it wasn't lying, he put the cell phone down and sat down with a pain stricken face. He clutched his head with his hands. This couldn't be happening. This couldn't be happening. He couldn't lose her. He just couldn't. Life would be nothing without her. Without her, he wouldn't have a reason to stay in the mansion. Without her, there wouldn't be a reason to live.

"Do you love her?" X34 asked quietly. Logan looked up and nodded. The small cell phone could see pain etched all over his face. "Then go get her."

"She probably doesn't want to see me…she probably hates me…." Logan looked down so X43 couldn't see the tears forming in the corner of his eyes.

"I know she doesn't, Logan. You should've seen how hard it was for her to tell me to give you that message," X34 told him truthfully, "now don't get me wrong, Logan. I still hate you, but I just want to see Ororo happy." Logan laughed a little, but it was forced. When Logan still didn't get up to find Ororo, X34 started to get angry.

"GET UP, YOU ASSHOLE! GET UP AND FIND ORORO! YOU KNOW YOU LOVE HER, YOU STUPID SON OF A BEEP! GO FIND HER, NOW!!!!" X34 shouted as loud as he could. Logan jumped up and growled loudly at the fuming cell phone, his ears ringing loudly.

"Do you want me to yell again, Logan…."

"Okay, okay! I'm going!" he exclaimed with a small chuckle. He ran out the door, following his lover's beautiful scent.

-------------------------------------------------------

Logan ran through the crowed streets, pushing people aside. He ignored the protests of the people and continued to follow Ororo's scent.

"Hey!" A teenager protested as Logan pushed him out of his way.

"Shut up and get out of the way, bub," Logan growled. He followed the scent to the place where he took Ororo on that day. The place that he goes when he's in a bad mood. The scent got stronger as Logan approached a huge apple tree. That was where the sat when they first came here. His breath got caught in his throat as he saw something dangling from a branch. Logan reached out and tugged off the necklace. He recognized the crystal cloud and the pearl dangling from it. It was the necklace he gave 'Ro on Christmas, the day they got together.

"No…Ororo…" he mumbled as he clutched the necklace in his hand. Suddenly, Logan caught Ororo's scent. He ran towards the scent until he saw a woman with long, white hair walk towards her car.

"Ororo!" Logan exclaimed, running up to her and grabbing her arm. She turned around and gasped.

"Why did you give me back the necklace? What does that mean?" Logan demanded.

"Didn't X34 give you my message? It's over. Jean needs you more than I do."

"Ororo, I--"

"Just go, Logan," Ororo said. She turned around to open the door to her car but Logan pulled her back towards him.

"I just want you to know that the only person I love is you, 'Ro. I need you," Logan said. Ororo wrenched her arms out of his grasp and closed her eyes for a second. When she opened them again, they were filled with sorrow.

"Just pretend that nothing ever happened between us," Ororo started.

"Never." And with that, Logan grabbed Ororo's face and pressed his lips against hers. He tried to pour all his love he felt for her into that kiss. He wanted her to know that he loved her, and no one else. At first, she struggled as hard as she could, but after a while, she stopped and started kissing him back. When they finally released each other, Logan pressed his forehead against hers.

"I love you, Ororo and I will never forget you and the love we share. I know that you must be hurt by all the time I spend with Jean. I know that. I'm so sorry, Ororo. Please forgive me," Logan said quietly.

"Oh Logan. I'm sorry also, but don't you think that breaking up for a while would be best? All three of us are being hurt right now and I think that it would be best if only I am hurt…"

"Don't think that! I would even be more hurt if you left me! I can't lose you, Roro," Logan said, wrapping his arms around her, "how about we talk to Jean about this? Maybe we can sort something out." Ororo looked up into his hazel eyes and nodded. Logan grinned and embraced her in a hug.
