Summary – Logan comes back to the mansion after Marie is attacked.

Previously:

"I don't want him ta see meh! He'll touch meh!"

Logan walked out of the room leaving a tearful Marie in his wake.

Marie walked to her bed, just wanting to flop down on it, but something had beaten her to it.

Chapter Two: Music makes the heart grow fonder

On the bed was a note and a tape. Marie picked up the note. There, in Logan's handwriting was 'Just listen, please'. She put the tape in the tape player. On came Logan's voice.

"Marie I am so sorry, I just hate seeing you hurt. I can't stand seeing you mad either. Just listen. You know I'm not good with words, but I found something. Please baby?"

Music started up gently, keeping a graceful tune.

Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano
Trying hard to capture
the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
is still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
they won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

A smile broke out on Marie's face as she swayed to the rhythm.

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

Marie let out a small giggle. This song described Logan's attitude well.

Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

The song finished. Marie wiped away the few tears that had fallen. Logan's voice came back.

"Darlin' I hope that you forgive me. Now I got one more thing to ask ya. Turn around,"

Marie slowly spun around and there was Logan. Leaning against her door frame. She wondered how she hadn't heard the squeak. Then she noticed the red roses in his hands. All twelve of them.

A/N: Okay, I'm going to leave you here. One more chapter. Leave a review. Flames will be used to heat my house for the winter! The song was Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi. Thanks to everyone who reviewed the first one!
