It had been a month from the last time Lizzie had seen Logan- apparently he followed her instructions to leave her alone. It did hurt her though- she was hoping he'd be rebellious and come visit her. Every night of that month was spent crying herself to sleep and moping around her apartment. She didn't think it would affect her this much, she thought it would be easier.

Apparently everything Lizzie had thought was wrong!

Logan stood outside the door waiting and deciding- should he go in? Should he knock? Should he even bother? It had been a whole month and he hadn't called her. He felt like such a jerk for leaving her, but what else could he do. He began to walk away, it was stupid for him to try and see her; when the door slowly opened and Lizzie stepped out. He froze where he stood, he could tell the sadness she felt by her slumped shoulders and constant sniffles. He had done this to her and there was no way to really take it back.

"Hi Lizzie," he greeted her as she looked at him. She was caught off guard- something she really didn't want to be around him.

"Logan," she nodded and looked away to stop a tear from falling.

"How've you been?" he began as she played with her keys.

"Terrible, you?" she wasn't going to hide her emotions for him; he already knew how she felt.

"Terrible," he chuckled softly and looked into his hands.

"Is there something you wanted?" she asked harshly- she didn't mean for it to come out like that, but it did.

"I came to say goodbye," he took a step towards her and she allowed him to come even closer. Now he was merely inches from her face and he could see her holding back tears in her eyes.

"Oh, so you're leaving today then?" she asked quivering slightly. He saw her shake slightly and wanted to just reach forward and hold her- to stop all of her shakes.

"Tomorrow morning actually," he answered and came even closer. Their noses were almost touching and she could feel his hot breath against her turned cheek.

"Logan I-" but she didn't get to finish. He had pressed his lips against hers and caught her in an extremely emotional kiss. She fought back with an even more passionate kiss, one that left his knees weak. Finally she pulled away as tears flooded down her cheeks.

"I can't say goodbye to you, it's too hard," she sobbed and wiped away the tears. He put his arms around her quivering form and held her tightly until she put her own arms around him.

"I know Liz, I know. I'm such an asshole to do this to you," he felt her grip tighten as her chin rested on his shoulder. There they were, n the middle of her hallway just holding each other.

"Yeah you are," she looked into his eyes when she said this and he saw the pain he'd inflicted in her. A sudden wave of guilt hit his body and he didn't know what to do.

"I love you Lizzie and I always will," he whispered into her ear and she shivered as the breath hit her neck.

"I love you too Logan, but I also hate you," she said and more tears fell from her eyes. "You're just like the rest of them, Gordo left me, Corey used me…I thought you were different, but you're not. So just, go…now before I can't let you go…" she cried and her arms fell to her side. She wrapped her arms around the front of her body and bowed her head. He looked at her, pleading to talk this through but she wouldn't budge, she kept turning her head. He couldn't take the thought of loosing her, never seeing her again. He closed the space between them one final time and kissed her lips softly, gently, and lovingly. Then, he walked away and disappeared around a corner. As soon as he had left her sight she broke down completely, falling down against the wall, knees to her chest and face in her hands.

What she didn't know was that he hadn't left the building and he was going through a life changing decision as she cried.

Logan walked down the stairwell- many memories of Lizzie and himself there. One in particular stood out amongst the rest making him smile as he sat upon the steps.

Flashback

"Lizzie, watch out," Logan screamed as Lizzie began to fall backwards on a step. He caught her before she even hit the ground and they both fell together in a heap. They laughed raucously and just sat there in each other's arms.

"So," Lizzie said but Logan read her mind and instantly crashed his lips against hers making her moan loudly. She turned to face him and pulled off her jacket in the process and she pushed Logan into a corner and proceeded to take off his shirt. They were caught up in a moment, a really great moment in fact.

They got too caught up though as Logan pulled at the zipper of her skirt, they were oblivious to anyone or anything near them and didn't realize they were being watched. A male figure shadowed over them as they kissed passionately and tapped Lizzie's shoulder. She was in the process of running down Logan's stomach with kisses when she turned around. A bright crimson hit her cheeks as an officer who lived in the building looked her in the eyes. Luckily they were both fully clothed, minus Logan's shirt, and no charges were pressed.

End of Flashback

He loved being around Lizzie, they always seemed to get in trouble together. She was funny, clever and had an amazing voice. It was there he decided he couldn't go to New York and it was then that his life changed forever.

Lizzie had finally pulled herself together to get back into her apartment. She made her way to the couch and covered herself with a large blanket, closing her eyes to will away the tears. The tears eventually stopped as she slowly drifted to sleep but she was awoken much too soon. Feeling in no mood to answer the door, she rose slowly and shuffled to the door with a pout on her lips, cracking the door slightly.

Without looking at the visitor she called, "what do you want," and found herself on the floor as the visitor had pushed forwards.

"Oh sorry Liz, my fault I was just so excited," Logan called as he helped her off the floor. Tears flooded again at the sight of him, hadn't he caused enough pain?

"What the hell do you want?" she managed to mutter as she shrugged from his grasp.

"Well, see I was just in the stair well and remembered the time that the officer caught us undressing each other, do you remember that?" he smiled coyly at her. Of course she remembered that, it was so embarrassing yet so fun- they did that again a week later.

"Vaguely," she answered with mock disinterest.

"Anyways, I realized that I can't be without you, I want more of those moments in my life- I want to be with you all of the time! So, Lizzie, will you marry me?" he asked as she turned around to look him in the eye.

He wasn't kidding, he was serious and was waiting for an answer. "What the hell?" she cried out as she sat on the couch in disbelief.

"Marry me, I love you and I definitely can't live without you," he said as he sat beside her.

"What about New York and the record deal and I can't go and…" she began but he interrupted her.

"None of that matters if you can't go with me. If you can't go, then New York can wait- it might be a struggle, but we'll do it together!" he said as he held onto her hand.

"Okay, I'll marry you," she said smiling. Truth was she couldn't live without him either and this was the only way to stay with him- this was the right thing to do.
