The Story Of Us

By ML Fan

Chapter 13

This is a Season 1 AU where some things will change, while others stay the same. I own nothing and make no profit from this story. This is not a sequel to "I'd Die Without You." A special thanks goes out to my beta, HarbingerX. I've also noticed that there are new M/L shippers/writers out there but, they get discouraged when they can see that people are reading but, not reviewing their fics, it only takesa second. Xxhotteygirl15xX- I have plans and ideas for this story, don't worry, it's always nice to read a review from a new reader. Thank you to those who reviewed previous chapters. Max's and Logan's thoughts are in italics.

"This relationship just can't be serious okay?"

"Why not, Max?"

"Doesn't everything just lead to friendship or a broken heart anyway? We can be friends Logan…I don't have very many of those."

"I don't either Max."

"I wanted you to know that up front, from the get-go."

I can't have emotional attachments…not with Lydecker on my ass. And I know that he'll never stop looking for me. No one would ever really understand that and not like I'd want them to.

"Can I at least walk you back to…JamPony? Right?" Logan is slightly distracted by the beauty and warmth of the woman before him.

"Yeah, you can do that, it turned out to be a beautiful day, Seattle doesn't get too many of those."

"Now or before the pulse, Seattle's famous for its rain, coffee, and grunge music."

"I guess we have to take what we can get; you know a girl's gotta make a living. Speaking of making a living, I've gotta get back to work, come on, I know some side streets that we can cut through."

Max somehow gets them back to JamPony in record time despite the lunch hour traffic.

"Thank you for the lunch, Logan; you know how to treat a girl well." Max walks away from Logan and into Jampony.

Why do I get the feeling that she wants more, but that she's still pulling away?

Max hides a smile and jets past Original Cindy before the assault of questions has a chance to begin.

I like Logan, but, I don't think that I deserve him, I think that he deserves to have a nice, normal girl and family and I can't give him or anyone that, so isn't it better just to act like I don't care even if I do?
