Author's note: sorry it took so long. With school and everything I just couldn't find time. Well here's chapter two. Hope its not too bad. Lol
She had been there 3 months now. She had gone through her last term of school and graduated. She has also been working with many students and teachers that had her same powers so she could learn to control them better. She was friends with many of them, but she had gotten closest with Logan. When Logan told her she could talk to him on that first night in the kitchen, she decided she was sick of being scared all of the time and she took him up on his offer. Since then they had used each other to lean on whenever one of them had a nightmare. She still hadn't told him what her other ones were about but that was okay with him. He figured that she would tell him when she was ready. They were actually at the point where whenever Teresa had a nightmare she would go into Logan's room and sleep with him. And whenever Logan had one, he would go to her room and sleep. Everyone was surprised at how easily she had "tamed" the Wolverine. When she wasn't around he was his usual stay-away-if-you-know-what's-good-for-you guy. But when she would come around he would try and behave himself. (Except for his smart remarks, which he just, couldn't help. She found them funny anyway.) And they started watching games together and doing other things. Everyone could see what was unfolding………………
"NO!" Teresa was tossing back and forth on the bed. She was having one of her rape nightmares again. "No! Don't! Stop it! Someone help me!" Logan jerked awake. Something's wrong. Then he heard her scream. "Teresa!" he jumped up and unleashed his claws as he yanked open her door. He looked around and didn't see anyone. Then he saw her shaking and crying. She's having another nightmare. He retracted his claws and went to her. "Teresa wake up!" he shook her trying to get her to wake. "NO! Please don't!" She slapped him in the face. "Ow! Shit! Teresa, please! Wake up!" Her eyes flew open. "Logan." He sat down and put his arms around her. "Shh. It's okay. I'm here. You're safe." He gently rocked her back and forth. She clung tightly to his chest and cried. After a few minutes she quieted down and sat up, rubbing her eyes and smoother her hair down. "I'm sorry." "Don't be. Its not your fault." After a few minutes she sighed. "It was about my old boyfriend. And some of his friends." She took a steadying breath. He was quiet, understanding she was ready to tell him and knowing this was hard for her. "I was so blind to everything. He invited me over to his house. When I got there, there was a bunch of his guy friends there waiting for me. They slammed the door and jumped on me." Tears were sliding down her cheeks now; she couldn't hold them in any longer. He grabbed her hands in his, telling her it was okay and to continue. But inside his blood was boiling. "I was powerless to stop them. There were so many of them. And before I knew it each of them had-" But she broke down and completely and he put his arms around her. "They said they would come after me again and if I ever told anyone they would kill me. So I left." She got that out in between sobs. He just tightened his hold on her. He was so mad he wanted to hunt them down and gut them all. But he knew she needed him. "It's okay. I'll protect you. I won't let them or anyone else hurt you. I promise." She hugged him tighter. A few minutes later he looked at her and saw she had cried herself to sleep.
Logan woke up very early that morning. 6:30. He looked around and realized he was still in Teresa's room. Then he looked at her. She was sleeping on her side and facing him. She's really cute when she sleeps. He brushed a lock of hair out of her face and smiled. She stirred and her eyes slowly came open. "Ah!" She jumped and fell right off the bed. He couldn't keep from laughing. She sat up and looked at him. He was trying to chuckle to himself and he had an eyebrow raised. "You handled that well," "Well you don't have to laugh at me." She tried to fake anger at him but as she went to get up she slipped and fell back down. He just laughed more and got up and went over to her side of the bed. She was lying on her back and giggling. "Feel like helpin me up?" He offered a hand and pulled her up. "Let's get down to breakfast before you give yourself a concussion." "Uh, healing factor?" "Yea well, with how often you fall I wouldn't be surprised."
Storm and Jean were already sitting down and eating when Logan and Teresa walked in the kitchen. They were laughing together as they got their food. "Why is it that everyone else can see that they like each other but they deny it?" Jean asked as she watched the two. "I don't know. I asked Logan yesterday about that. He said everyone's just got it wrong and that we should mind our own business. That they are just really good friends. "Yea sure," She watched as Teresa fed Logan something and then laugh at the sour face he made. "Just friends.
Just as Logan and Teresa finished eating the Professor called Teresa. 'Teresa, could I see you in my office please?' 'Sure thing Professor'. "Logan, the Professor wants to see me. I'll see you later okay?" Logan smiled at her. "Okay." He watched her walk down the hallway. Yep. I'm fallin for her. But how the heck am I supposed to tell her? I could never stand to loose her friendship is she says no. Maybe I'll try again later. Now, for a beer. He headed off to his secret stash. He had planned on telling her this morning, but he, yes the mighty Wolverine, chickened out. He sighed. Women.
Yea, I know Logan's a little out of character but if everyone acted the same in every story it'd be bored.
