groaned, his breath heavy on my neck, "we can't do this" I didn't say anything, instead I kept grinding against Logan. I had never been so turned on in my life, "stop Willow!" he groaned again pulling himself away from me. I could tell it wasn't easy for him to stop.
"Why?" I whispered. I knew it was wrong because we were step siblings but apart from that I needed to know why he wouldn't have me when we were clearly into each other.
"You're my sister Willow. That's why," He said shaking his head.
"Step sister," I reminded him. I knew it was weird for some people but it's not like we shared blood, everyone would warm to the idea in time and if they didn't, I didn't care. Logan was the only thing I cared about.
"Yeah...Not only that Willow, I'm not the kind of guy you should be with, I'm not a good guy, I couldn't live with myself if I hurt you Willow," Logan said.
"Don't you see that not being with me is hurting me?" I said, I could feel my eyes welling up with tears but I fought them back. I was sick of being so weak for him. "I don't know why you think you're such a bad guy, you made mistakes but so does everyone, I've tried so hard to forget you but I can't."
"And I couldn't forget you either Willow," Logan said sighing. "You're the most beautiful girl in the world, you're the one thing good in my life and you're the reason I strive to be a better man,"
I was happy by what he was telling me but confused that it didn't seem to change a thing.
"Then what is it? If all that's true then why can't you be with me Logan?" I cried "just give me a reason please," I begged him desperately.
"Because I'm bad. The whole thing with Drew, you don't even know... That was over you. I caught him saying he was gonna hook up with you because you were so drunk you wouldn't be able to say no, I just got so mad, I went at him like crazy. I was so lost in that moment, I could have killed him Willow, just like I killed my Mom," Logan said.
What was he talking about? I had no idea I was the reason for Logan putting Drew in hospital, and Logan's Mom, we never discussed her, Chris had always said she died when Logan was a baby and that it was too painful for Logan to talk about. Because of that I never brought it up, I understood because talking about my Dad was not something I liked to did with anyone but Mom.
"Your Mom?" I asked wondering what he meant.
"Marilyn," Logan said.
The tattoo on Logan's chest. Marilyn. That was his mother. I suddenly felt like an idiot for being so hung up and jealous about it.
"She died in birth Willow, it was my fault, I killed her because I'm a parasite and all I do is destroy other peoples lives," he said it in such a way that made me know he truly believed what he was saying. My heart broke for him, my poor Logan.
I sat up and cradled his head, stroking his hair and kissing his forehead. We were two broken people but I truly believed together we could overcome anything.
"You are so wrong Logan," I said tears streaming down my cheeks. "You are not a parasite. You are not bad. You saved me Logan, you're the reason I survived my eating disorder, you're the reason I stay strong. Please don't forget it, please don't lose hope. You are the best thing to ever happen to me and I won't stop fighting for your love."
Logan pulled me under his arm so my head was resting on his chest.
"Thank you Willow. You always know the right thing to say I just wish that I could believe you," Logan said.
I stayed still on his chest so he would fall asleep. I lay there listening to his heartbeat. It was the most magical moment but something told me it was only a minor development in our relationship. Even still I'll take what I can get.
CHAPTER TEN
I woke up alone in the bed looking up to see Logan sitting on the sofa. He looked as though he had been watching me for some time.
"Good morning," Logan said, he looked slightly uncomfortable.
"Hey...When did you wake up?" I asked
