Borrowed Time
A/n: thanks to all who reviewed! I really appreciate the comments and ideas you guys give me. Sorry for the late update, was 24 hours really too long?! Haha.. Here goes…
For the next couple of days Logan still drifted in and out of consciousness, but he was getting a lot better.
The doctors said it was as if his spirit had lifted and was now fighting back, against the sickness.
The only downside about it was that he still thought Dana coming back was still part of his dreams….
Every fight needs mending
Every start has an end
Like the sunrise and the sunset
That's just how it is
But he'd rather have her as a dream than never have her at all. Dana frequently visited Logan, but she could no longer sleep by him coz Dean Rivers found out what happened the day she came back.
Love on borrowed time
Will never be yours nor mine
I need you like you need me
The way we ought to be
The seventh day after Dana returned Logan seemed to get worse instead of better. Dana tearfully entered his room after overhearing the doctors talking to Dean Rivers about bringing Logan off campus to a nearby hospital.
She gently stroked Logan's hair and whispered in his ear, "Hey, Logan…"
Logan's eyes fluttered open and he sent her a weak smile.
"Dana…" he was just about to say he loved her when he realized tears were streaming down her face.
Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime
"What's wrong, babe?" he said concernedly.
"you." She replied simply.
"You're leaving again, aren't you?" he said looking away.
"No, I'm not… you are."
"What do you mean, D?" he said confusedly.
"They're gonna take you to the hospital, and I can't go." she said nearly in tears.
"But you're just a dream. You'll be there too, right? I mean, the reason I'm trying to stay sick is so I'll get to dream of you everyday. If I get better, I'll probably never have dreams as good as the ones I've been having."
"Oh, Logan…" she said pulling him into a hug.
This bitterness inside
Is an empty space I hide
It never satisfies
Living my life in a lie
"D, what is it? You're creeping me out…" he said jokingly.
"I'm here, Logan." She said smiling at him.
Love on borrowed time
Will never be yours nor mine
I'll just close my eyes
And it will be alright
"What do you mean?" he said, furrowing his brow.
"I mean here, at PCA."
"But— you're supposed to be in France."
"I came back… for you." She replied.
Logan looked as if he wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. He was about to say something to her but then, Dean Rivers walked in with a wheelchair.
"Miss Cruz, I'm afraid you'll have to leave. We'll be taking Mr. Reese to the hospital in town." He said bringing Logan slowly to the wheelchair.
"Dean Rivers, I'm fine now!" he tried to argue, but raising his voice made him go into a coughing fit.
"Come on, Logan, it's for your own good," Dean Rivers said wheeling him around.
"Dana," he said as he tried to stand and face her.
Dana rushed over and steadied him.
"Promise you'll be here when I get back." He said looking straight into her eyes.
"I promise, Logan." She said not minding that it seemed more of a command than a request.
Logan sat back down on the wheelchair and let himself be whisked away without complaint.
Oh, it's good to be true
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime
Dana looked around the empty room she was standing in; she saw something shiny under Logan's pillow.
Curiously, she picked it up; it was a picture. She took one look at it and then broke down crying.
Now that you've gone away
You seem so close
Oh, it's good to be true
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that i had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime
