Chapter 10 – *Wherever You Will Go

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone, could you make it on your own

If I could, then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go

Rory stares at the man before her. He is very much the same boy she had fallen in love with, but the maturity on his face shows his growth from boy to man. He is no long the young man that belonged to only her. He was married, to someone else.

"Married?" She says only slightly above a whisper. He nods his head. "But I thought I had more time. I thought I still had three days. At lest before this," she gestures to the hospital bed beneath her. "I had time. The paper said... It said." She was nearing hysterical on the inside. On the out she just stuttered.

"We eloped. Vegas." He says.

"But..." she tries to continue.

"There's was a wedding this last weekend, but it was only for show. For dad's business and the papers, but we, O and I were married already."

"Why? How?" She puts her hands limply in her lap. Unable to gesticulate exactly how she feels with them.

"After, the end... I figured why wait. There was no one waiting out there for me, and Odette and I talked about it. She and I decided to make it something simple. "

"We. Us." She nods in response to the words that are now killing her.

Logan stops speaking. He doesn't know what else to say.

"I had no idea you and her were actually that close."

"I told you Odette always knew everything. Apparently I'm the one that had no idea about what was going on."

"Logan...I tried to call you."

"You tried?! "

"Yes, and you never answered."

"Well why the hell would I answer a call from the women who broke my heart twice?"

She can't say anything to defend herself.

"You just made a choice, for both of us."

"I did what I thought was best..."

"Which apparently meant raising MY child without me!" He's slowly starting to unravel. "Well, it's done now." He's turned to someone that she knows isn't truly him, the cold, businessman. He's shut down. "I just want to know Richard."

He makes eye contact and it once again feels like a pinprick to her heart. "Of course."

"It's just that easy?"

"Of course. He's your son, Logan."

"Thank you." He says. He turn to leave the room, but stops at the door and turns to face her again, "Hey Ace?" She looks up at him, but says nothing.
