Breathe Easy

I'll always remember you

I lay in my bed, silent tears streaming down my face. I am alone.

"I am alone" I repeated out loud.

"Come here, Logan. Please" I cried, knowing he was asleep, I just wanted to let it out

"Hold me in your arms" suddenly the door creaked open. Logan walked over to me and whispered

"I will help you with your problems" I held out my hand for him to take. He leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear

"You are not alone"

"I am here with you"

"You may feel far away. But I am here with you to stay" he continued to whisper

"You are not alone, Tru. We may be far apart right now, but you are and always will be in my heart."

"I need you, Logan" I whispered. He wrapped me into a hug.

"I know you do. Tru, I love you" he burried his face in my hair, he held me tighter.

"I love you too" I whispered. I lay down in his arms. It had been two weeks of not speaking to each other let alone look at each other.

~ </3 ~

"How many more weeks do we have?" I asked quietly. He chuckled

"Tru, the judge is coming in two days" I gasped

"You're going to prison?" I asked not wanting him to leave me.

"Yeah. It'll be fine though" I shook my head

"We could try couldn't we?" He shrugged his shoulders

"You wouldn't show in two days" he smiled.

"So, it could on the tests right? Will they do an ultrasound?"

"Yeah, but-" he spoke, I stopped him

"Please" he shrugged, I hugged him. He took my hand and spoke

"Come on, then" he walked me to his room then shut his door.

There was a knock on the front door. I smiled, but I was nervous too. Logan opened the door to the judge and two cops, along with a doctor.

"Come on in" Logan said standing aside for the four of them to come in.

"Hello Mr. Mills. Where is Ms. Reddings?"

"She is sitting on the couch" he shut the door behind the guests then followed them over to me.

"Are you nervous?" The judge asked, she wanted so bad to prove Logan wrong. Her eyes looked at my flat stomach

"What's this?" She asked looking at me. I swallowed, not able to answer her

"She hasn't been showing, but we took a test and it said that she was pregnant" he told her. Lie. I nodded agreeing with him. The judge motioned for the doctor to come over to us. Logan came over to me and took my hand in his.

I had to lay on the floor for them to test.

The doctor lifted my shirt to my ribs, then rubbed a cold cream on my stomach. I looked at the small monitor as she searched my empty stomach for any sign of life. After a few more minutes she stopped

"There isn't anything there" I gave a fake gasp. I knew there wasn't anything there, not yet at least. I just hoped for some reason. Logan's grip on my hand tighened. It was over, he was going to prison.

"Logan, you lied. I told you that I would put you away for a very long time" she thought for a long moment before continuing her sentence

"Twenty years, along with the five original years" she looked at Logan with disapointed eyes. I looked up at him beside me. He looked at me, his eyes were sorry. And hurt. I felt hot tears rolling down my cheeks. He bent down to kiss them off of my cheeks. He looked up to the judge

"Can you give us a minute, I'll meet you out there, please" the judge hesitated, but nodded. After the door shut, I saw a small tear slowly trickle down his face, I hugged him tighter than I ever have before.

"I love you, Logan." I cried

"I love you too. I am so sorry, Tru. I will write to you. I promise" he kissed me. Our tears ran into each other and mixed together. He took my hand, and pulled me up. I didn't want to let go, he looked deep in my eyes and spoke in a soft whisper

"I'll always remember you" I bowed my head and started to cry more.

"I don't want to let go"

"I know you don't. I don't either" a tear escaped his eye. Logan was crying. He kissed my hand then walked over to the door. Before he opened the door to leave I yelled

"Logan!" He turned to look at me. I ran up to him and hugged him, burrying my head in his arm.

"I'll always remember you, Logan. I love you"

"I love you too" he opened the door, then gave himself to the cops. I cried and cried and cried.

Logan was gone.
