A/N: I'M BACK! Thank you everyone for the kind words of encouragement and understanding. It's been a long few months with everything going on. My hard drive is lost forever but I decided to continue on. College classes are done for the summer so I should have some more time to work on my stories. Thank you everyone who stuck by me and kept hoping. This is for you guys. Please remember to review!

Chapter 2:

Wind whipped through my hair as I reclined in the convertible, my sun glasses perched on my nose. The sun felt amazing on my skin and the radio was playing good music. All in all the trip was starting out really well. Logan was driving and ever so often glancing at me, I think it was still strange for him to see me in so little. I had gotten control of my powers not to long ago and loved wearing things like tank tops and shorts now. Today's stunning number was a pair of short jean shorts, a polka dot woven top that had floral embroidery on the neckline and hemline and a pair of cute black sandals. My hair was down and I had on my favorite pair of sunglasses on. Logan had his trademark jeans and wife beater on, he was wearing aviator sunglasses and a cowboy hat. We were still a couple of hours away from his cabin but the ride was turning out to be great. Logan let me pick the music and even where we would stop to eat dinner. He was trying really really hard to make me feel better about what happen.

This week I planned on sitting in the sun by the lake on his property and sun tanning my days away. Read some good books and maybe enjoy Logan's company. I know he preferred quiet while at the cabin and that's exactly what I needed, peace and quiet from everything and everyone. Don't get me wrong I love my life, I love my friends, students and the mansion but sometimes I just need to get away and relax. Jubilee and Kitty are always coming up with new things to do, there's never time to just sit in the sun and read with them, they always had to be doing something. With Logan I know that if I'm not talking he won't force me to talk and I have every chance to read and relax with him around.

"Hey Darlin', we're getting close to Duffs. I figure we'll stop for wings and beer than make our way to the cabin."

"Sure thing Logan, you know I love Duffs."

Logan smiled over at me, I know he cares a whole lot about me, there's no question about that. He wants to see me happy and healthy; this trip is his way of making sure I'm those things and for him to be part of my life. We pulled up in front of Duffs a few minutes later; I tumbled out of the car after Logan opened the door for me. The place looks pretty packed today but that was alright we could wait, we had plenty of time to get to the cabin. Logan held the door open for me, the lighting was dim and there weren't many booths opened. It looked like we'd be sitting at the bar, I hated sitting at the bar. Logan looked around for a moment and moved forward grabbing my wrist; I looked around him trying to figure out where he was moving, it wasn't towards the bar so maybe it was a high top instead. We came to an abrupt stop in front of a red vinyl booth tucked away in a corner of the place.

"Here ya go Darlin. Nice corner booth just like you like." Logan gruffly pointed out.

"Thanks Logan, it's perfect."

Logan nodded at me and sat down, raising a hand to show our server we were ready to order.

"Hey there, what can I get you folks?"

"Two beers from the tap and 40 hot wings with blue cheese on the side." Logan said.

"Sure thing." The waitress said making notes on her pad. "It's be about 15 minutes for the wings."

"Alright, thanks."

Logan watched me carefully to see if I wasn't happy with the order. Since it was the same thing I ordered every time we came here I had no problems.

"So kid, want to talk about what happen with Bobby?" Logan asked carefully.

I smiled at him, "There's not much to talk about really. I caught him in bed with Warren, got angry, stormed away, took a few seconds to think about it, realized I can't be mad that he's gay and decided I needed to get away for a little."

"You have every right to be mad. He cheated on you and didn't have the balls to break up with you before sleeping with Warren."

"Yeah I know but why waste the energy being mad? I'm hurt he didn't trust me enough to come to me and break up but at the same time it couldn't have been easy for him to come out. Being a mutant is hard, being a gay mutant must be that much harder. I mean it's bad enough we're picked on and discriminated against because we're born with a certain gene, but being gay on top of that, well I understand his reasoning. Do I agree with it? No, not at all. I know how hard life is and he should have said something to me."

Logan looked at me thoughtfully for a moment, I could tell he was thinking something but I didn't know what exactly. He simply nodded at me and took a sip of his beer. I smiled at him again, it really wasn't an issue anymore, I was hurt by it but I couldn't stay mad at Bobby. A few minutes of silence passed and the wings came. Logan divided the wings up, drumsticks for me, wings for him. We went to work on the wings, slowly devouring them, no words passed our lips but we understood each other without talking. In a hour we'd be at the cabin and things would settle into a routine for the week, for right now we just enjoyed each other's company, beer and the best wings going.
