   Fini

The first chapter of my and D-sama's story is finished. Finally. It took about a month. I guess it was worth it . . . I don't know. The last part was basically me alone, so it sounds like crap. There was so much I forgot. *sighs* I think my main problem is that I don't really know Logan. I know what happened to him, but I don't know HIM. His mother was a prostitute living and working in New Orleans. She wasn't even twenty at the time, not ready for a child - didn't want the responsibility either. Probably would have shoved him off on his dad, except she didn't know who his dad was. He was a client. That was all. So instead, she puts him up for adoption. And he is adopted by a really sweet, wonderful couple, who love him very, very much. For six years he has the perfect life, the kind where you get cookies every day after school and never have to worry about where this meal is coming from or whether or not you're loved. His dad even starts teaching him how to play the guitar (so cute!). Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. This is no exception. His parents die. In a car crash. It was bad weather, rainy and foggy, and I think by that point it was starting to get cold out. The father died instantly. The mother died after a week of being in a coma. The saddest part is that she was pregnant. A little over a month at that point. He stays with some old friends of the family until a foster home is found for him. This, too, seems good at first. For about a week Logan has a relatively easy time of it. The lady is nice, the guy distant, but who cares? Then, the father comes home drunk. He is not a good drunk. Not at all. He's an abusive drunk. He beats his wife (who really is a sweet woman) and 'plays' the the little girls staying with them. He hits everyone in the house that gets on his bad side. Logan gets a lot of of the slaps and punches, because he isn't the type to just sit by and watch someone get hurt. He will try to help. He gets locked up in the closet a lot and forbidden to eat as a punishment. It ends when he actuallly sees the bastard do something to one of the little girls and tells (the old family friend). It ends badly for the man (YES!). He goes to jail. He also beats Logan black and blue for telling when he finds out. Logan runs away, since there aren't any other kids left. He has had enough. He goes to stay with the old family friend again, this time for a longer period of time. He is adopted again, by a nice man who lives in New York. He and his wife can't have children (his wife has AIDS) so adoption really is their only option. *yawns* Geez. I'm tired. I'm only halfway done, but I think I'll stop anyway. I'm tired. And I know none of you care. If you read this at all, you're probably bored stiff. Whatever. Bye bye!
