Always Be There for You

Prologue: A Garden Visit

Logan's eyes shot open. He found himself standing in the moonlit garden outside the mansion. How did he get there? What was he doing there at this time of night?

Suddenly, his ears perked up a bit. He could hear a familiar voice calling his name. He looked around quickly, but no one could be seen. Not sure if this thing calling his name was an enemy or friend, Logan got himself ready none the less. His metal claws quickly slid out from in between his knuckles, defending himself from a possible trap.

Logan heard the voice again, softly calling his name. He started walking through the garden, following the voice. Each step he took, the voice became a bit louder. He must be getting close.

Logan arrived to a wide open space in the garden. Claws ready, he looked around again. No one was there. Maybe he was going insane. Suddenly, he heard the voice calling for him again. It seemed so real. The voice was so close. The voice called again. It was much closer. This time it seemed like the voice came from right behind him. Logan turned around and couldn't believe what he saw. Tears filled his eyes. It couldn't be. The voice was Jean's and she was standing at the end of the garden facing him.

Logan walked slowly toward her, not believing what he was seeing. It was Jean, was all he could compute in his head. His claws slowly retreated back into his hands as he approached her. Jean stood there, waiting for Logan to get to her. A huge smile spread across her face as a few tears escaped her eyes.

Logan finally reached Jean and stood before her. He just stared at her. Then he reached out and gently touched her face.

"Jean…you're real. You're really here!" Logan whispered as he gazed into her beautiful brown eyes.

"Yes. Yes, I'm really here!" Jean whispered back to him as she touched the same hand that held her face. "I've waited for this moment for so long!"

Logan quickly kissed Jean passionately. The kiss was fervent and sweet. Logan had missed her cherry lips and yearned for more. He took quick breathes in between kisses, not wanting to be away from those lips for too long. It had been such a long time since he had tasted her and he never wanted it to end.

Jean suddenly pulled away and held her chest. She started backing away from Logan. Logan gazed into her eyes until he finally realized that something was wrong.

"Jean…are you okay?" Logan asked with extreme concern written across his face. Jean stopped a few feet away from Logan and glanced down at her hands. They were covered with blood.

Jean collapsed on the soft ground beneath them and Logan rushed to her side, holding her in his arms. He saw that she was bleeding from her chest. It seemed like the blood was coming from three big cuts, almost as if she had been stabbed.

Tears ran down Jean's face. "You killed me," Jean whispered to Logan with a sound of pain in her voice.

"I'm so sorry. I… I did it for you, to save you. I never ever wanted to hurt you," Logan answered with tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

An unexpected smile grew across Jean's face. "It's alright Logan. You did save me. You released me. Now I can be with Scott and everything is as it should be. Thank you," Jean quietly whispered.

"Please Jean…please stay with me. I can't live with out you," Logan pleaded.

"Let go Logan, let go," Jean quietly told Logan as her eyes began to close slowly.

"I can't. I love you," Logan said with tears now falling from his eyes.

Logan kissed Jean once again as passionately as he could, almost as if he were trying to pass some of his life to her. But when Logan finally pulled away and looked at Jean, her eyes were closed. She was gone.

A rush of despair and worry swept over Logan. "NO! JEAN! STAY WITH ME!"
