    Logan threw his keys on the table as they entered a beach house he rented for the week. Rene quietly walked past, arms crossed infront of her and her eyes glued to the floor. He sighed, closed the door behind him and followed her into the livingroom. The sun was setting outside and there was a breeze causing the trees to sway. Logan softly touched her arm and she jumped, nearly falling off the couch. He frowned, "Sorry... I should've known not to touch you." She slightly shrugged, tears quietly falling off her face. Logan clenched his fist, wanting do badly to go back to the holding cell and kill Thomas. He sighed, "Brittany wanted me to ask you if you wanted anything from the house.. she'll get it." Rene shook her head, "I don't want anything from that house." Logan slightly nodded, wanting so badly to hold her and tell her he was sorry. But now, he can't even touch the one he loves the most, because today and that day... she was touched too much.

 Mrs. Watson hung up the phone and sat it back in it's cradle. "What's wrong?" Mr. Watson asked, noticing her expression. She frowned and looked like she was wiping germs off her entire upper torso, " It's Rene... Thomas attacked her." "What?" Mr. Watson snapped, "What do you mean he attacked her?"  "He attacked her!" She exclaimed, "Just like that other pig in highschool! We're lucky she made it out alive.. I guess she gave him a run for his money..." "Who told you about all this?" He asked, glancing at the phone, "Is she okay?"  Mrs. Watson sighed,"That was Brittany, she said Rene's fine, she was checked out by a doctor and now shes with Logan..." "Logan?" Mr. Watson asked, crossing his arms, "Where the hell did he come from?" "Apparently he was in town... Rene and him met and .. she wanted to leave Thomas something about she planned on leaving him for awhile now and thought now was the time.." She explained.

 Logan looked at Rene, noticing the white bandage around her arm and the cuts and scrapes on her face. He closed his eyes, picturing Thomas slamming her against the wall and hitting her a few times. His hands clenched into a fist and he pictured Thomas dragging her by her hair like she explained to the police. "Logan..." Rene whispered, snapping him out of it. His hands relaxed, nail marks in each palm. "Yeah?" He cleared his throat, sitting up. "Are you okay?" She asked, sitting next to him. "Shouldn't I be asking you?" He asked, slightly laughing. Rene sighed, "I'm fine... you looked tense I had to come make sure everything's okay..." Logan nodded, practically sitting on his hands so he could resist touching her. Noticing this, Rene softly smiled, " Thanks for staying with me..." He raised an eyebrow, "I think you're staying with me..." She laughed, "Yes but you didn't have to bring me here...I definatly didn't want to deal with my parents either.. you could've taken me home." Logan shook his head, " I would never let you go back there especially after what happened... besides, you're with me... I can be your home, if you'll let me."  Rene slightly nodded, leaned closer and kissed him. He closed his eyes and kissed back, cradling her face in his hands.

 "I think we should ask her to come back home, she's not going to want to go back there..." Mr. Watson muttered, stirring his coffee. Mrs. Watson slightly nodded, "We'll tell her when she calls... if she calls." "She'll call , just give her some time to relax, she's been through a lot." He explained. "Like I don't know that..." Mrs. Watson snapped, "Stop treating me like the wicked step mother.." Mr. Watson shrugged, "Then stop acting like it... I noticed a while back that Rene didnt love Thomas, how long did it take you to realise it? Or were you too busy seeing money signs and a stable ... or seamed to be stable man?"

 Pulling away, Logan scooted farther back. Rene frowned, "Something wrong?" He nodded, "I'm not going to sit here and kiss you and pretend like today never happened..." "Oh so because I was almost raped .. for the second time, I'm no longer good enough?" She asked, getting up from the couch. "What?" Logan narrowed his eyes, "I never said that!" "Then what is it?" Rene asked, raising her voice. He shook his head, "You didn't want me touching you a little bit ago, I'm not going to push it now." She sighed, "I'm not a child Logan..." "No, you're not..." He nodded, "But you've been through a lot.." "So write a song about it.." Rene muttered, walking away. Logan sat back and shook his head. He looked back and saw Rene looking back at him with more tears running down her face. "I'm sorry..." She cried, "I don't know why I said that..." He sighed, rose and walked over. "You're hurt I get that... but I wasn't the one that hurt you and I'll never hurt you...understand?" Logan softly pulled her to him and embraced her in a hug. Rene wrapped her arms around him and sighed, "Don't let go..." He kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear, "Never."
