Chapter 6

A few hours later, Logan woke up from what he thought was the most amazing dream. Then he looked down and realized that it wasn't a dream. Lulu was still sleeping on top of him. He smiled but then realized where they were. They were at Tyler's apartment, on the couch, not dressed.

"Lulu" he said softly

"mmm" she said quietly

"Lulu, we have to get up" Logan said "We have to get dressed before Tyler gets back"

"What?" she said as she jolted awake

"Tyler will probably be back soon" Logan said "We have to get dressed"

Lulu got off of Logan and looked around for her clothes, once she got them she ran to the bathroom.

Logan quickly got dressed and as he was putting his shirt on he noticed the scar on his abdomen. All the reasons that he and Lulu couldn't be together came rushing back. He realized he just put her in even more danger. He sat on the couch, his face in his hands. He looked up when he heard her come out of the bathroom. She was smiling at him, he couldn't take it and looked away. Lulu caught on to this and sat down beside him.

"Whats wrong?" she asked

When he didn't answer she asked again "Logan, whats wrong?"

"It shouldn't have happened" he said quietly

"What?" Lulu said quietly but also shocked

"This…us…" he said, he couldn't look at her "I shouldn't have let it go as far as it did"

"Logan, I wanted to be with you…I…"

"I can't do this" he interrupted

"Logan…" she started

"Don't" he said coldly "It'd be best for both of us if you just leave now"

"What? Logan I'm not leaving" she said "Not until you give me a reason"

He knew if he told her the real reason, because she'd be in too much danger…she wouldn't leave, she'd want to stay and try to help him. So he had to come up with something that would get her leave…for good.

"I just don't want to be with you" he said, his voice void of emotion

"Logan, why are you doing this?" she asked, and she could feel the tears building up

"I told you Lulu, I don't want to be with you" he said "What happened here was a mistake…just leave alright"

When she didn't move, he spoke again "Go…just go"

He couldn't look at her because he knew he'd see tears. She still didn't move

"Lulu, leave me the hell alone" he yelled and Lulu got up and went to the door

"I hate you, is that what you want me to say?" she said loudly and then she left slamming the door behind her

Logan leaned back on the couch. He did it, he pushed her away. All he had to do was keep telling himself that it was for her own good, then the aching feeling in his chest would go away…right?

As soon as Lulu got back to her apartment, she collapsed on the couch, finally allowing the tears to fall

"Lulu?" she heard, and looked up to see Rebecca

"I didn't hear you come in" she said

"Sorry…Lulu why are you crying?" Rebecca asked

"It's nothing" Lulu said quietly

"Lulu I know you, its obviously something" Rebecca said "You can tell me"

Lulu hesitated a bit before she answered "I slept with Logan" she said quietly

"What?" Rebecca said shocked

"I slept with him" she said "And then he yelled at me to get out"

"I don't get it, why would…"

"He said he didn't want to be with me and that…that it was a mistake" she said and the tears started falling again

"Lulu, I'm sorry...I don't know what to say" Rebecca said

"Its ok…you don't have to say anything" Lulu said "I'll be fine"

"I know you'll be fine…you're one of the strongest people I know" Rebecca said with a sad smile

Tyler listened at the door, he didn't hear voices so he figured Lulu already had came and left. When he opened the door, he was somewhat shocked to see Logan, sitting on the couch, drinking.

"Well, I see you've helped yourself to my beer" Tyler said

Logan didn't answer, he just finished off his beer then went to the fridge to get another

"Hey, Loge, why are you drinking?" Tyler asked

Logan sighed "Lulu was here"

Tyler figured he'd need a beer to hear this, he went to the fridge but stopped when he saw what was on the stove and chuckled

"And I take it you didn't just talk?" he asked

"What?" Logan asked confused

Tyler picked up the bra and threw it to Logan "Did you really want to heat things up that much?"

"Oh, well aren't you funny" Logan said sarcastically

"Dude seriously, what happened?" Tyler asked

"I slept with her, then I told her to leave" Logan said as if it was nothing

"Why the hell would you do that?" Tyler asked

"You know why" Logan replied

"Logan, are you really that scared of the guy?" Tyler asked

"No Ty, I'm not scared of him at all" Logan said surly "I'm scared of what he'd do to her"

"Logan just because the guy told you to stay away from her and all, doesn't mean you have to" Tyler said "Since when have you ever listened to what people told you to do?, hell even when we were in the army you didn't listen"

"If I'm not mistaken, you didn't listen when we were in the army all that well either" Logan said

"That's not the point and you know it" Tyler said "Logan come on, you love the girl so why lie to her? Why don't you just go be with her?"

"It's not that simple Ty" Logan said "If this idiot ever found out, he'd kill her"

"Logan jeez…don't you think she'd be safer if she was with you?" Tyler said

"It doesn't work that way" Logan said "If I stay away from her, she's safe"

"Yeah but how long do you think you can stay away from her?" Tyler said

"I stayed away from her ever since she came here, there's nothing different now" Logan said

"Yeah there is" Tyler said

"What?" Logan asked

"She knows you're here" Tyler said

Logan just nodded and took a gulp of his beer. Part of him wondered if Tyler was right. Would Lulu be safer with him?
