Logan POV
*Four years later*
"I'm sorry Logan but there's nothing I can do, these are your fathers' conditions." Uggghhhhhh!! I bring my hand up to my forehead and lower my head to meet my fingers, pinching the bridge of my nose between my eyes, trying to rub the stress away. Dad was just hospitalized a week ago and the media covered it announcing to the entire world that his cancer returned just after 2 years of being cancer-free. I try to focus my brain on what Uncle Jack (non-biological uncle) was saying but I felt so overwhelmed by everything that was going on, "You have to present one grandchild to him before his death in 18 months or all his companies will be sold to the members of the board which need I remind you to includes that slimy rat Sam." he continues, raising his voice a little at the end in anger. I don't blame him though, Uncle Sam was a sleaze bag and only had a position at the company because his grandfather and my grandfather were best friends and he promised his family members that they would always have a job with our company. Of course, it had to be on the fucking board of members, my grandfather was too nice for his own good.
Sighing, I lift my right hand to massage my temple and grab the will on the table with my free hand. I stare at the will, reading the big bold letters 'MUST BE MARRIED BEFORE PARTY A'S DEATH..." I understand why my Father was doing this. He never really forgave me for what happened between Jade and me, but it was ok since I never really forgave myself too. He loved Jade like his own daughter and I'm the one who lost her.
*Flashback*
I walk back to my apartment in Vancouver after seeing someone who looked like Jade across the street. I swear it look liked her but my vision was really blurry and my mind was complete mush... I've nonstop been drinking since I flew over here to see dad, his body looked so week, his skin almost translucent from the fluorescent hospital lights. His face was slightly sunken in and the look of pain and worry across my mother's face as she laid beside my father's still body. I had never seen my parents this way before and I felt like throwing up in my mouth from the overwhelming feeling of sadness, grief, and regret.
Oh, wait... apartment... right... how am I walking right now when I can barely feel my legs. I was holding on to someone, she was giggling... I think I met her at the bar and I liked her because she looks like my Jade. I missed her so much her beautiful smile and gentle eyes, she wouldn't like seeing me like this which is why I've been ignoring her messages... I'm a mess and she can't see this.
BEEEEPPP
"Hey Logan, I'm just calling to check up on you. You haven't called me in a month and I'm trying to give you time but I would really appreciate some kind of message from you.... please... call me."
BEEEEPPP
"Hey Logan, I'm not sure if you got my last message but I'm worried about you, please call me."
BEEEPPPP
"Logan... uhm, hey... sorry I'm not trying to be clingy... I know a lot has happened but I just need to hear your voice... call me, please."
BEEEPPPP
"Logan... I'm *hiccup* drunk if you haven't already keyed in *hiccup*... I need to speak to you Logan, please... I'm *hiccup* in love with you... don't you see that you *hiccup* inconsiderate bastard... You keep ignoring my calls Logan *hiccup*... plea-... please just call me... please."

"Ok, that's it... I'm coming over... I'm flying to Canada and there's nothing you can do about it."
