A/N: read end author note please. :)

Logan sighed, on his way back to his dorm. He had been running for a long time. He didn't need to remember, as far as he was concerned. PCA wasn't about his previous life. It was a whole new one. One where he was the person he always wanted to be. And no one knew any better.

He stopped at his door, and slid the key into the lock effortlessly. He walked in, surprised the lights were still on.

"Hey, Logan's…" Chase trailed off, looking at his friend. Logan quickly turned around. Shoot, he forgot to go to the bathroom to make sure it didn't look like he had been crying…

"Logan?" Michael asked, not seeing him earlier.

"You know what? I'm thirsty." Chase said loudly. Michael gave him a weird look.

"Logan and are going to go down to the cafeteria to grab a quick snack." Chase said standing up. He grabbed Logan, and headed out the door.

"Wait, the cafeteria's closed…" Michael said, confused.

"We'll figure something out." Chase said, closing the door behind him and Logan. Michael just stared perplexed at the door.

Chase looked at Logan once on the other side of the door. Logan looked at the ground. How stupid was he? First of all, he cried, second of all, he looked like he had been crying, and now Chase was going to want to know why.

"What's wrong?" Chase asked, sitting down against the door. Logan sat down next to him.

"Nothing." He replied, shrugging.

"And yet you're sitting down next to me." Chase pointed out.

"So. Tell me what's up." Logan looked at him, not really up to lying his way through this. How many times had he had to lie his way through a situation like this? How many times had he awoken screaming from a nightmare, and when asked about it, had to laugh, and say he dreamed he looked like Michael or Chase?

"It's a long story." Logan whispered. Chase looked at him for a minute.

"Well I'm up to listening, if you're willing to talk." Chase said, not looking away from Logan. For a while, Logan didn't say anything.

"It was my fault." Logan said, almost too quietly.

"The only reason Bert got interested in Dad… He…" Logan let a tear slide down his face. Chase was confused, but didn't interrupt.

"Dakoda was the only one who believed me when I said Bert would… Dad… Dad didn't... believe me. He didn't want to." Logan looked at Chase. Chase just stared back.

"What did he do?" Chase asked. He wasn't sure who Bert was, or what Logan was talking about… but this seemed like something Logan needed to talk about. And they were best friends, right? Logan laughed, sadly.

"Before Dad even met Bert at that stupid parent-teacher thing, Bert made… Advances… towards me." Logan looked at the ground, ashamed.

"Wait… Bert was a teacher? Here at PCA?" Chase thought for a moment. Logan had gone here almost his whole school life. (even though they only became roommates in fourth grade)

"Mr. Fitz?" Chase asked. He thought his name was Bert, or something, and he did always seem to favor Logan at least as a student…

"When my dad met him… they clicked instantly. I was kind of worried they would become friends. I had no idea my dad was gay." Chase gawked at him. His dad was…?

"I told Koda everything that happened… Back then, I use to go home every weekend." Chase mentally thought of when Logan stopped going home every week… it must have been in sixth grade…

"At first Koda thought I was joking…" Logan hugged his knees to his chest, as he cried a little more. He really shouldn't be saying anything… he needed to keep this to himself… keep his image… his status…! But… somehow…

"Not too long after, Jamie dumped my dad when she found out he was cheating on her. Then Bert and dad got married." Logan didn't dare look up, he knew he was crying… he just hoped he didn't look too pathetic.

"Dakoda tried to protect me… she was always stronger than I was. I mean… she was better at dealing with things emotionally. …but also physically. She tried, but Bert would hit her." Logan swallowed hard, and hit his head backwards against the wall.

"Sev….several times…" He stuttered.

"He would knock her unconscious…" Logan closed his eyes.

"And he would…" Logan trailed off. He was surprised to feel arms around him, moments later. He opened his eyes, and saw Chase holding him tightly.

"You…" Chase started

"You were going though all of this…?" Chase asked, holding Logan protectively. Logan just nodded.

"And you never told me." Logan held Chase back, and felt Chase crying lightly. …crying for him?

"You don't have to continue… but I care about you… and I want to know." Chase said, pulling away, and wiping his eyes. Logan swallowed, and nodded.

"Yeah… It was Mr. Fitz." He said quietly. Chase and Logan held eye contact, before Chase put his hand on Logan's shoulder. He rubbed his shoulder lightly, before slowly moving his hand to the back of Logan's neck. Slowly, Chase leaned in; Kissing Logan lightly on the lips.

A/N: Hey guys, (if anyone's still reading...) since I've gotten little-to-no feedback on my last few chapters, I've decided to stop writing. ...well, stop posting. there isn't much point on putting it up here if no one's reading, right? So, I suppose if you want to keep reading, review, and if I don't get to many reviews, I'll know not to update. :)

so farewell for now. :)
