The Truth

Chapter 5

She ran until she could not run anymore. She stopped when she reached the rivers bank and fell to her knees. She looked down at her own reflection in the water feeling anger, sadness, and self hatred for what she did. She leaned back and stared off into space, thinking out loud, "Why couldn't I tell him the truth? Why couldn't I tell him that I had slept with Creed not only because I was drunk, but because I had planned to get back at him for rejecting me? God! I'm so stupid!!! If Logan didn't want to get together with me then he definitely won't now."

"What?!" came Logan's voice from behind her.

She gasped and scrambled to her feet, "Logan!" slowly he walked towards her, "H-How long were you standing there?"

"Long enough." without warning he struck her across the face.

She stumbled back, holding her sore cheek, "Logan..."

"You planned this?!" he demanded, anger twisting his face.

"Logan, I-"

"Answer me, damn you!"

Alarmed by his raising anger, she stumbled backwards, and fell into the water. She looked up at him with fear. Praying that he wouldn't go feral and taken his rage out on her. Quickly she got back up and answered him, "Yes. It was a plan at first, but I was drunk and wasn't thinking clearly, so Creed's suggestion sounded good at the-"

"Don't use Creed as an excuse for what you've done! It's bad enough that you slept with him just to get back at me for not sharing your feelings!" slowly he walked up to her, glaring down at her, "I loved you like you were my own daughter that's why I didn't want that kind of relationship with you, but that wasn't enough for you. You had to go and sleep with that bastard just to get me to change the way I felt about ya. Well, guess what, Darlin'. You got your wish. I don't love ya like a daughter anymore... I hate ya more than Creed."

"Logan, please-" she cried.

"Shut up!" he leaned down and grabbed her by the top of her dress, "I want you out of here. I want you out of my sight! You're not fit to be an X-Men if you do shit like this. You have by the end of the day to gather all of your stuff and leave. If I EVER see you again, I swear... You'll wish that you'd never been born."

With that Logan turned and walked away. Leaving Jubilee shaking in the water.
