Shaking his head vehemently, Logan refused to acknowledge the words she had chosen to use just then. She brought up his prison again. He couldn't focus on that, no, there were more important issues at hand. Her adamant, almost violent resistance to him knocked the wind out of him causing Logan to cower for a minute to regain his balance. He had loved her so much that her attempts at trying to get away from him bore into his flesh.
No secrets, huh. All of his vulnerability, problems, and weaknesses were invested in her because she wanted him to do so. The two were so busy focusing on his faults, his secrets, that hers went completely overlooked. Eyes softened pleading that she left him in. In spite that he was still trying to swallow the initial shock of the newfound realization, instead of trying to reach the surface for air, he was more concentrated on getting the old Lainey back. This new one always suspected, and thought the worst of him. She used to be able to share her ideas, despite how far-fetched and unconventional they were; she was willing, no, wanted to share her life and secrets with him. She now chose discomfort, lies, denial, distance, and secrets.
Voice was elevated once again, but this time, it was so that his words be heard through all of the commotion she was creating. "Lainey, we need to talk. You can't just leave me out here. Lainey, I deserve an explanation."
Hand pulled at the door handle as he saw frantically trying to escape from him as if he were some kind of monster. What happened to the days she looked to him to rescue her? With enough strength, he managed to pull the door open, only to hear Go away, Logan echo, as she yelled with such disdain, that he momentarily let go. That was when he lost his momentum, and the door closed shut. Face immediately fell from the disappointment of it all. Her fierce and bold rejection of him. Is that how bad it has become between them? That was when Logan snapped back into reality as her car's engine revved up his senses. Bare palm collided with her front windshield as he pounded rhythmically so that she wouldn't leave... that her attention would remain on him.
Why didn't she tell him? Why did she hide her from him? Didn't she know that he would have been by her side throughout it all? Didn't she know that every time he witnessed a mother lovingly tend to her child, he would wonder if he could ever come home to that instead of a dead empty prison that reminded him how much he fucked it all up?
"Lainey, I love you. Don't do this. You can't just leave now. Stay. Fuck, Lainey. Who is she? Who the hell is she?"
