He's Not The One

The silence was finally broken. "I'll go make us something to drink." Logan excused himself. He knew Finn and Drew had much to discuss.

After Drew had voiced her thoughts to Finn in the warehouse, he took her home. Logan was unsure of how to comfort her when she looked to be in such a state.

"It's not Damian White. He's not the one you're looking for." Finn confessed.

Consciously, Drew held back her sobs. "How would you know such a thing?"

For a brief moment, he contemplated whether he should tell her. "I know because I was trailing Damian White the night Reve died. Both murders of your uncle and Reve left behind similar evidence. I think they were surely killed by the same person."

Taking in the revelation, Drew shook her head in denial. "No. You... Why did you keep this from me?" She wished she didn't believe him, but no matter how much she tried to convince herself he was lying, she knew he wasn't. "All that time I chased down the wrong guy. We were so close, yet I couldn't have been any further."

"I had to." Finn pleaded. "It was for your safety. I think I know who it was but I can't tell you that. Not now, anyway. Please, I need you to trust me."

She raised her eyebrows. "Trust you!? After you just told me you've been lying to me for practically the last year?"

"It wasn't lying." He justified.

"Well, it might aswell have been!" Drew rolled her eyes. "If I didn't know you so well, I wouldn't give you the benefit of the doubt. This is me trusting you. Know that if you betray me again like this, we're never going to be on good terms again."

Finn nodded. "Got it. Although, I wouldn't let you let me go so easily. Maybe you'd like me a little less but we'd still be best friends." He shrugged. "At the end of the day, you'd still take a bullet for me and I, for you."

"I still you think you should tell me." Drew glared. "Tell me who you think it is. I have to know. It's so important to me to find out, now more than ever."

Drew's thoughts were creating a life for her and Reve beyond the hidden lies they were currently tangled in. All she had to do was find the killer. Then, they could be together.

"Do you guys still need more time to..." Logan tried to find a word to finish the sentence. "Finish whatever you're talking about?" He questioned unsurely.

"No thanks, we're done here." Finn stood up and shook Logan's hand, as he passed him on the way to leaving the room. He glanced back at Drew in a way he never had before and for the first time ever, Drew felt something shift in her. She had the urge to call him back for some reason. Finn smiled to himself, knowing he had avoided answering Drew's plea.

Logan placed the tray in his hand on the table. "Are you okay?" He asked Drew. He clearly knew she wasn't, yet he still found himself asking.

Flashing him a smile, Drew nodded her head. "I'm sorry. This must be very awkward for you."

"It is. I'm not really one for comforting people." Logan laughed. He swallowed before speaking again. "If Reve were here, he'd know all the right things to say."

"Yeah, he somehow made it feel as if my problems didn't exist for a short moment." Drew looked up at Logan. "I was such a mess but I guess I was the mess that he wanted."

In an understanding manor, Logan nodded his head. "He had a thing for fixing anything that was broken. That included people. When we lost our parents, he held himself together and got me through it."

"I'm sorry about your parents. It must have been so hard for you. I recall Reve telling me about it." Drew placed her hand on his shoulder to comfort him. It seemed to do quite the opposite but he was too polite to remove it.

He had a distant look in his eyes. "Losing a parent at that age, it's so hard. Then, I lost Reve and it's like my entire world just collapsed. I became a mess. Like you said, everytime I became a mess, Reve was there to pick up the pieces but... He was just gone and it was all too much. I'm sorry, I should've been here for you. You lost him too."

~Flashback~

Time had never passed so slow before, Drew stands there in the bathroom, waiting for the verdict. When it confirms that she is indeed pregnant, Drew glances at the other three tests she did prior to it. She wants to be sure, and now, she is more than sure.

Her first priority is telling Reve. She had taken the morning off after being sick but Reve had gone into work. He offered to stay with Drew but she refused.

"Go, I'll be fine!" She promised.

~A short While Later~

Drew lifts up the large and heavy box into her car boot. Realising she shouldn't be lifting heavy things whilst pregnant, she makes a mental note to remember for next time.

However, she completely ignores the mental note when she takes the box upstairs to her bedroom. She's too caught up in the excitement.

After a few hours of reading instructions amd hammering a lot of nails, Drew gives up. She's spent too long trying to figure out where the final piece goes. She decides that she'll finish it with Reve when he gets home. Admiring the fact that she managed to assemble the cot in front of her, she smiled to herself. The hammer was placed into the centre of the cot. She'll need it later when she finishes the final piece with Reve.

All that occupies her mind whilst she starts making dinner is the look on Reve's face; How his eyes will light up, the confusion on his face, then the moment of realisation. Little did she know, he wasn't going to make it home.

~Present Day~

"You're crying." Logan stated. "You kind of zoned out and... What were you remembering?"

"I'm sorry that I shut you out. You still came after and I was still grieving." Drew wiped a tear. "Just a few days before you came, I went through a tough time. It was like losing Reve all over again but in a way, so much worse." She whispered.

Holding onto her hand that was still placed on his shoulder, Logan offered her a sense of comfort. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." His voice was almost as quiet as hers.

"It's okay. I want to. I need to." She felt the sorrow fill her heart. "I was pregnant when Reve died." She watched Logan's expression fall. "And I lost it. I lost our child. He didn't even know."

"He didn't know that you were pregnant?" Logan asked for clarification.

Drew shook her head. "I was going to tell him that day. He never came home. I waited all day to tell him and then... He never came home." She repeated.

"I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what that must've been like." Logan offered his sympathy. "I should've been here. There I was grieving one loss, and you had to go through that."

Uncontrollably sobbing, Drew leaned into his shoulder. "I always thought I lost the only part of him I had left. But today, I realise, I lost a part of me."
