Chapter 4: What Happened That Night!
=========================
Logan got washed up and changed back at the hotel, he got a message from Becky telling him what her room number is, he didn't plan on staying all too long so he just wore a pair of sweets with a tank top, he hasn't even got shoes on his feet, she's only a floor above them anyhow and with Luke being invited to Mandy's room, Logan made his way to Becky's room, taking a deep breath before knocking on her door, he didn't have to wait long for her to open the door to him...
... He didn't really know what to say other than to wave a little to her, he felt kind of awkward being here right now, there's no reason he should be but he did like seeing her in a box standard t-shirt and shorts, it reminded him off the good old days when they were teens, she used to love wearing his clothes, he's not sure why women seem to love that but they look cute doing it.
Rebecca: Hey, come on in.
Logan smiled a little while nodding his thanks, following her into the room, closing the door behind him, Logan looked around her room, she only has the one bed, she's sharing it after all, his room has two, one for him and one for Luke, her case is left open slightly, her two titles sitting on top like they were her prized items, Logan loved how much the WWE meant to her, the fans are lucky to have her here.
Rebecca: Here...
Logan looked just in time to see a can of beer flying towards him, this is more of his style, not this whiskey glass stuff, two fingers bullshit the American's love doing, simple pint of lager is just the stuff, Becky smiled at him while grabbing a can for herself and plopping down on the bed, this really is like the good old days.
Rebecca: ... Now talk. What happened to you in 20 years?
Logan sighed with the can in his hands, Becky however has already popped her's open, he's wondering if she's only drinking because he's going to need a drink, then again she's Irish, she doesn't really need a reason to drink but it's always good to have one, Logan though copied her, popping open the can then sitting on the bed beside her.
Logan: It's a really long story...
Becky assumed it would be, 20 years is a long time to cover, she was ready to hear it, Colby isn't coming back anytime soon tonight, if at all, she wouldn't be surprised if he's out all night long, it's his best friends last night after all, she'd be more surprised if he did come back tonight and didn't stay out with the guys, so that meant they have all night to talk, Becky's not letting him leave till she's certain he's told her what he's keeping locked away from everyone and everything.
Logan: ... Are you sure you want to know?
Becky was a little worried now though, he's never usually this closed off, he never used to be so cautious about sharing his feelings, his mother raised him to be a little softy and it's cute but this is concerning, Becky however is ready, he's her friend, they might not be together anymore but she can still care about him.
Rebecca: 100%. Come on, it can't be that bad.
Logan sighed looking around a little before drinking from the can, Becky chuckled a little till she watched him drink more... and more... and more... by the time he pulled the can from his mouth, it was empty, Becky was impressed but this isn't the time for jokes, so she offered him hers, she can tell this is tough for him, he huffed a little while taking it from her, taking a sip before he started telling her what she wants to know.
Logan: Alright, well it was 2016. Luke and I just got done working on the next show for NJPW...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's late at night on a dark road just outside of Tokyo, it's seems to be a normal quiet and peaceful night while a car drove down the road, disturbing the loose leaves fallen from the trees in the autumn, with it getting closer and closer to the Winter, the road is starting to cover with them, but this is a common drive for them, so the driver's not worried.
Mitsue: Maybe you should slow down. You can barely see out there.
Logan's driving the car, he looked to the passenger side to see his wife of 4 years, Mitsue Nozaki, well, Kenway now, she took Logan's last name even though he told her she didn't have to, she's been his rock since he moved to Japan for work, she helped him understand the language and the street signs, he fell in love with her when they first met, now they live just outside the city of Tokyo, which is why he's not as worried about her and the rain coming down right now.
Logan: It'll be alright. I just want to get her home and in bed.
Logan indicated to the backseat, Mitsue turned around entirely to see their little baby girl, Komi, sleeping peacefully in her little seat keeping her safe and buckled up, she smiled to her Daughter while she tugged a blanket up and back to cover her, it's cold and late, way past her bedtime but the rehearsals ran late for the show, later then normal which is why Logan's trying to get them home as fast as they can.
Mitsue: All tired out.
Mitsue kissed her left index and middle finger before placing the kiss to the young girls cheek, Logan watched the entire time through the rearview mirror, smiling the entire time till Mitsue sat back around and caught him smiling, his eyes still on the road while the sound of the rain being wiped out the way and the tires rushing through the leaves is the only sound in the car right now.
Mitsue: What are you smiling about?
It's a quite road, it's rarely busy even in the day so Logan was confident taking his eyes off the road a little, not too long but long enough to get a look at his wife, her incredible brunette hair that she has shared with their Daughter, her green eyes as well, he can look at her all day and never get bored.
Logan: It's just... I never thought I'd ever fall in love again. I'm not sure what I'd do without you both.
Logan told her all about the girl from Ireland, when he moved to the states, he started acting up, he missed her, he couldn't sleep and would find himself thinking about her all the time, it took him a long time to get over her but he did and now he has Mitsue and Komi, he couldn't ask for a better family right now.
Mitsue: We love you too...
Mitsue leant into him to share a kiss, Logan smiled and did the same, her lips fit perfectly with his, however the bright lights shining into the car caught her attention making her eyes shoot back open and see a car coming straight towards them at fast speeds, Logan didn't see it right away so she called out.
Mitsue: ... Look out!
Logan was quick enough to avoid the oncoming car but wasn't able to keep the car from sleeping and sliding on the wet road covered in damp leaves. Mitsue, worried for her daughter, reached back for her but by the time she could reach, there was a loud crash and then nothing... just nothing...
-------------------------
It's been a couple of days since the crash and Luke's been in the hospital with Logan the entire time, Allan, Chad, Andrew and a few others have come through to see how he's doing but they've had to put Logan into a drug induced Coma, today's the day their going to be waking him up and they all wanted to be there for him, however they needed to be at a show, Logan understood and never held it against them.
Luke: Hey buddy. How are you feeling?
Logan woke up without an issue, sometimes when someone's in a drug induced coma it can lead to complications but he was able to wake up exactly to plan, the doctors were happy to see that so while they ran a few quick tests on him, Luke tried to make a little small talk, however that night is a little foggy for him right now but he does remember the crash.
Logan: How bad is it?
The doctor checked for his injuries, concussions and what not, he seemed fine though while Luke just focused on staying out the way, he's not a small guy so he tends to find himself bing in the way a lot but the doctor seemed to be fixed to one side of the bed Logan's in meaning Luke was able to just kind of stand by the window and talk to him, try to break the news.
Luke: Broken arm, concussion, few ribs broken, legs a little busted but all in all you look like shit.
Logan chuckled which just hurt him more and more, those broken ribs he mentioned really don't like it when he laughs, it's not just internal injuries though, his body is covered in cuts, even a small one on his forehead, just above his right eyebrow, it's not massive, well, not compared to most of them on his body but all in all, he's lucky, the car was badly damaged during the crash.
Logan: Where's Mitsue? And Komi? They were in the car. Where are they?
Luke sighed when Logan asked him that, he was partially hoping that Logan would have just forgotten or not asked him, he was there when Komi was born, he was standing with Logan when he got married to Mitsue, his mother, father and sister there too, how is he supposed to tell him what happened.
Luke: Logan, I uh...
When he stopped, Logan looked over to him, he can tell it's not good by Luke not only looking to his feet and finding them really interesting all of a sudden but also the tears brewing in the big guys eyes, he's not as out there with his feelings like Logan is but he is only human and can't help but let one fall while Logan needed to know.
Logan: Luke. Tell me. Where's my Wife and Daughter?
He tried to sit up but the doctor stopped him, pushing him back to the bed, Luke and the doctor shared a glance, he's had to give bad news before but nothing quite like this in a long time, especially when the speeding driver hasn't been found and probably never will, there's very few camera's on that road and through the ones there are, it's hard to make anything out through the heavy rain.
Luke: There was nothing they could do. I'm sorry mate.
Luke walked over to him and put his hand on Logan's shoulder, he laid in the slightly upright position looking up to the ceiling, his eyes watering much faster then Luke's are, his hands shaking and lips trembling, he didn't need to be told anymore to know where they are, he's lost them, all because he didn't keep his eyes on the road.
Logan: How?
Logan needed to know how they went, mostly because he didn't want them to have suffered, Luke didn't think that telling him was the best idea though, he's just woken from a coma and been told his wife and daughter are dead, it can't be good for him but there's a doctor in the room so if anything happens then Logan will be okay.
Luke: Don't...
Luke was going to try and talk him out of finding out but Logan wasn't going to let him, he needed to know, his daughter more than anything, sure he cares about Mitsue too but Komi was his little girl, he was supposed to keep her safe and he failed, Luke barely even got the chance to say one word before Logan snapped at him.
Logan: How!?
That was the first sign to Luke that his friend wasn't ever going to be the same again, Logan barely ever raised his voice, even when he was really annoyed, so hearing him shout like that, was a clue letting Luke know how broken his friend actually is, Luke sighed before telling Logan wanted to know, it wasn't that easy to get out.
Luke: Komi died with a broken neck. It was instant, she didn't feel anything. It was painless. Mitsue, they tried but she died on the way here to the hospital.
Logan found a little bit of peace knowing that Komi wouldn't have known anything about it but the fact he's here and there not, it hurts and it's confusing him, survivors guilt is running through him right now while his tears started to free fall, all Luke could do was be there for him while he processed all of this.
Logan: It's my fault... It's all my fault...
Logan put his hands on his face to muffles his cries, even Luke started to let his tears fall more freely, this is his best friend and he's had his family ripped away from him in the space of a few hours, there's nothing more he can do other then stand here and just be here for Logan, it's not going to be easy but that is the day that the Logan he knew and loved died...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
... Logan and Becky have both gone through a few cans, Logan's eyes tear stained while remembering that day and night, he hasn't cried, just teared up a little, the same can't be said for Becky though, hearing that he went through all of that broke her heart, he's such a good person, bad things always tends to happen to good people though.
Becky: I'm so sorry you went though that.
Logan hummed to her, their both now sitting on the floor with their backs to the foot of the bed, the ice bucket with a couple of beer cans sat on the floor just in front of them, Becky sat with her legs crossed, her left hand holding a half full can and her right hand wiping her face clear from the tears.
Becky: It wasn't your fault.
Logan looked to her, his legs outstretched with a can in his right hand, drinking it slightly just before she said that to him, when she said that, it's weird but for the first time, he actually believed those words, he's heard it nearly everyday since the accident, some many people have told him those exact words but they've never made him feel any better till right now.
Logan: Say that again.
He didn't so much ask but needed her to say it again, since that night, Logan's been carrying around this guilt, for some reason when she said it, the guilt became much more bearable, Becky isn't sure what she said but in her intoxicated state, she just did what he wanted while he moved to sit at a closer angle to her.
Becky: It wasn't your fault.
Logan sighed with so much relief that he couldn't help but smile, a couple of tears dropping when he did, he isn't out of the woods, he still feels bad and feels he's to blame for that night but hearing Becky say that, listening to him, made him realise one thing, it made him realise that he needs her, now more then ever...
... Becky didn't stop him or push him back, she really probably should have but it felt right, it felt good and she didn't want to stop him or push him back, so she joined, kissing him back with her hands wrapping around his body while his hands ran along hers, this felt right, maybe it's just the alcohol telling her that, Becky didn't care and never told him "no"...
