(locked to Jack) Truth!plot
Apr. 29th, 2008 02:22 amLogan had always been a firm believer that 'the truth' wasn't nearly as wonderful as people lead you to believe. The truth wouldn't set you free, and it wouldn't solve your problems. The truth would kick you in the balls and then laugh in your face. It was that simple.
That morning's events only made Logan that much more sure that he was right. The truth was evil, and it lead to nothing but misery.
Maybe things with Neil hadn't been perfect, but he'd been happy. Maybe not all the time, maybe not in an obvious way, but Logan Echolls had been happy, and now it was just... over. Neil had told the truth, and in an instant, everything Logan had come to depend on had been yanked right out from under him.
His cheeks were damp as he stood by the pool, not far from the caves, and though usually he'd have lied and told you he wasn't crying, today he would have confessed the truth (he didn't seem to have much choice). He was hurting, and this time he couldn't fix it by smoking a joint or playing on the roof. This time he just had to deal with it.
The tears wouldn't last though, they never did. They'd turn to anger as the afternoon rolled on, and inevitably, Logan Echolls would end up doing something very stupid.
