Chapter 5

"Hey look who finally decided to come back!" Michael greeted Dana as she rejoined the group.

"Hey. I think I'm going to turn in for the night, you know jet-lag." Everyone said goodnight and she went up to her room, but not to sleep. She unburied her guitar from the bottom of her chest and headed to the beach. She found a perfect spot to watch the setting sun and strummed away at her well-loved guitar.

I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes

He'll never fall in love
He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
But I know all his favorite songs

And I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I'd lie

He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on
Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long
And he sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishin' he was mine

I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful

He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I'd lie

He stands there, then walks away
My God, if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you

He'd never tell you
But he can play guitar
I think he can see through everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My God, he's beautiful
So I put on my make-up
And pray for a miracle

Yes, I could tell you
His favorite color's green
And he loves to argue
Oh, and it kills me
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him...
if you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie

As the last notes streamed out of her mouth she heard clapping. "I thought I'd find you here." Logan smiled at her.

"How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough… so, who do you have a crush on? I-is he the reason why you decided to come back?" he looked at her with sadness in his eyes. Dana nodded.

"Yes, he is the reason why I came back."

"Oh. I see. So who's the lucky bastard?" Dana couldn't help but let out a little chuckle at this which caused Logan to look at her quizzically.

"Sorry, it's just what you called him."

"A bastard?" she nodded. "Why are you obsessing over someone who's a bastard?"

"First, I'm not obsessing," he sarcastically nods, "and second he used to be a bastard, but now he's… sweet." She finished smiling into the almost-set sun.

"I'm guessing you like him better 'sweet'?" Logan asked with some distaste in his voice.

"Sort of, I mean I've always liked him and since I've gotten back he's been genuinely sweet and…"

"And?" Logan asked hesitantly.

"And I think I might actually be in love with him."

"Love?" he felt as if he were punched in the gut.

"Yeah. But I doubt he feels the same."

"Why wouldn't he?" once he realized what he said he let out a nervous laugh. Dana blushed.

"Well how would I find out?" Logan sighed, not exactly enthusiastic that she loved someone else.

"You could always ask him to a movie or something." He sadly suggested. Dana thought about it for a second but then agreed. She stood up from where she had been sitting and walked over to him.

"Thanks for the advice."

"No prob-" his breath caught when she gave him a lingering peck on the cheek, "-lem." This made Dana giggle.

"So, how would you like to go to the movies with me tomorrow?" Dana smirked, Logan however was completely speechless which made Dana's smirk grow and her nerves grew as well. "So what do you say Reese?" Logan finally snapped out of it.

"What about this guy that you're in love with?" he said the word love with plenty of distaste and Dana catching the tone rolled her eyes.

"Why do guys have to be such morons? YOU ARE THE BASTARD I'M IN LOVE WITH!" Logan just stood there slack-jawed. "Either you say something or I'll slap you." Logan came back down to earth.

"Seriously?"

"Yes I would've slapped you if you didn't say anything."

"No, not that the other thing. You love me?" she nodded shyly. He smiled and enveloped her in a warm hug, never wanting to let her go. He kissed the crown of her head before pulling away and losing his smile. "I'm a bastard?" Dana just laughed, she couldn't help it.

"Yes, but you're better now… kind of."

"Really?" he asked cupping her cheek.

"Really." Logan bent down and gave Dana a sweet kiss.

"I love you." Logan proclaimed when they finally broke apart for air. His proclamation made Dana's face light up.

"I love you too."

Well this story is finally done, wait… THE END. Now it's done. R&R.
