There's No Such Thing As Happy Endings - Book Three of the Why I Run Series

Chapter Twenty

This chapter could be a bit confusing, it talks a lot about questions that I haven't answered, some questions that haven't even been asked, things that don't add up - those sort of things.  If you like theories, this is the chapter for you XP

So I hope you like it :3

Oh and shout out to all the people that noticed the entire last chapter was written in threes.  And yes, it was very VERY difficult to write XD

AND SO SORRY FOR BEING AWAY SO LONG <3

"You are Thomas's moral compass - but you're so much more than that, a part of Thomas. You're sweet and kind and loyal and trusting and you forgive people... even those that don't always deserve it," Logan expression turned guilty.

...

 "I - I love you, Patton."

...

"I couldn't bear if - if Incubus d-did s-something t-t-to you, if - if he h-hurt -" 

...

"If - If you had been in Roman's shoes," Logan choked out, eyes watering. "If s-something had happened to you, I - I would never be able to live with myself," Logan whispered, eyes flickering up to meet my own - tears already making a track down both my cheeks. "I couldn't let you go, I couldn't watch that happen to you. A-And I don't regret it, and I'm so sorry that I don't regret it, but I can't lose you Patton, I can't. And... I think higher of you than even you could possibly imagine.

"Please Patton, I know that it was wrong. But you are not just important to Thomas, but to me. You... remind me of who I am. And I am nothing without you. So please, I'm sorry about Roman and of course I wish there was something that could've brought you both out of Incubus attack alive -"

...

"It's about the trapped sides! Please listen, it's important!"

Logan raised his eyebrow expectantly, clearing his throat and... and my heart broke a little, watching as Logan quickly shut down his emotions - so quickly, falling back into robot-mode. The guy that was just on the brink of tears just a couple of seconds ago was gone, replaced by something cold and closed off, again.

...

"Apologizes, you have my attention, Patton," Logan waved a hand, gesturing for me to explain.

"Sorry, Lo, but I have an idea," I couldn't help bouncing on my feet. "The sides," I whispered excitedly. "I have an idea of how to set them free!"

Logan said that he loved me.

Logan said that he LOVED ME.

I kept my eyes ahead of me and tried to focus on my breathing, trying to ignore the tiny butterflies that fluttered around in my stomach as the thought.

Oh, oh why did he have to say it now?  Why, all this time later?

I slowly slid off Logan's bed, carefully tucking him into his sheets. Logan frowned in his sleep, probably confused by the sudden lack of warmth at his side, as his hand reached dazedly in my direction, before collapsing as he fell back into restless sleep once again.
