3 Years After

Chapter 6

"Lena, sweet pea what's wrong?" I asked, walking over to her

"I heard yelling." She said, clutching her pig toy to her chest,

"I'm sorry honey, Logan was just leaving." I snapped at him and glared at him, he shook his head slightly,

"I'm sorry Lena, have a good sleep." He said and walked to the door, "I'll see you tomorrow Rory." He took he albums I gave him,

"Logan," I went to him, "Come here tomorrow to do the interview. It'll be easier, and I'll do some more research on your tonight to have good questions."

"No! No, don't worry about it, I'll just tell you what you need to know. I'll see you tomorrow, how's 11?" he asked, a trickle of sweat forming on his brow,

"Okay...see you tomorrow." I said, my eyebrows burrowing together, you can bet your ass I would be searching him tonight.

"Mommy, I like him." Lena said,

"Why?"

"He smiles a lot, he smiles when he looks at you Mommy." She smiled up at me,

"Come on, how about we watch a movie. You can pick it," I took her hand and led her into my room,

"Tangled!" she jumped up and down,

"That sounds good; we can watch it in my room tonight. Mommy is going to have to do some work, okay?"

"That's okay Mommy." She smiled and crawled into my king sized bed, curling up in the blankets and pilling up all the pillows behind her. I put the movie in the player and got the movie started for Lena, she watched it happily, she thought she looked like Rapunzel and wanted to grow her hair out like the girl. While she watched I picked up my computer and went to google and typed in Logan Huntzburger, and something I didn't expect appeared.

Logan Huntzburger, heir to the Huntzburger Publishing Group Empire was admitted to South Lake rehabilitation centre earlier this year (2009) for help with substance abuse issues (alcohol). Representatives left us with a statement "Young Logan will be fine, we just wanted to address it before it became a problem." We could not get any quotes from the young Huntzburger himself, but this picture was caught of him entering the centre this past Sunday.

I saw a picture of Logan, slouched jeans, sunglasses, completely out of control hair, a misbuttoned shirt and he was being held up by Colin and Finn. I couldn't believe what I was seeing; I always thought Logan was the type of guy who knew when to say when. But clearly he didn't. I scrolled down the page and clicked another link,

Logan Huntzburger, admitted to South Lake just 3 months ago, was seen on an outing with sister Honour Huntzburger and her husband, getting dinner. Young Huntzburger looked much better then seen months ago, barely able to walk into the center of his own. Representatives have said that Logan has recently begun to write pieces once again for his father and pieces that are appropriate will run. It is expected that he will spend another 3 months in the center before becoming a part of an outpatient program, which will include Alcoholic anonymous, and regular visits with a therapist. At this time we cannot get any quotes from Logan himself, but we did get a comment from his older sister Honour Huntzburger, "Logan is doing really well. We are proud of him for reaching out for help. He is an amazing uncle to my daughter and this is a setback but doesn't define who he is." Nothing like the words from a sister to encourage him.

The picture of Logan with Honour, Katie and Josh, Logan was looking leaner then he had in earlier picture of him entering the center, wearing sun glasses again but he was wearing that familiar smirk, he had a bottle of water in front of him, and he looked. Okay. I couldn't believe that I hadn't heard about this, one of the biggest families in the business and I didn't hear about it. Both pieces were published by People Magazine, apparently as soon as you went to rehab you earned a place there. I was horrified that Logan even needed that, what happened to him after we broke up? I continued to search him, after a few more articles on his rehabilitation, I read a few articles written by him all beautifully written, I had known about Mitchum's heart attack and that explain why Logan came back to New York, to take over. I looked over at our little girl, who had fallen asleep during the movie. I needed to know more about Logan and what exactly he was doing at this point, was he still sober? I needed him to be okay, before he could be a dad to Lena.
