"36 year old Owen Pace had been shot and killed last night," said the news anchor.  "Right on his front porch, and his wife and son were present, along with one of the son's friends who stayed was staying the night.  We'll have our news reporter tells us more details."


The scene cut to the a news reporter holding a microphone.  "Thank you.  Now if you can see here, I am currently at the scene where the murder had taken place.  As you can see, the area where the murder had taken place had been tapped off.  four teens had been charged with murder.  One girl and three boys."  The News Reporter stopped for a moment before continuing.  "Now from what I had heard from the police, the four teens had all pleaded guilty and said Owen was NOT the intended victim."  


They T.V cut too a man in a collard t-shirt and shorts.  He had black hair and it looked to Logan he also had been crying.  
"Me...and my big brother did everything together...When I heard the news last night...I felt something die within me..." the man's eyes starting to tear up.  "We always had eachothers backs...I remember growing up..." He began to have difficulty speaking as he sobbed.  "He would always help me up when others picked on me...He was more than my brother...He was a hero!"  


Logan shut-off the T.V and didn't say a word for a long time.  He had spent the rest of the night crying himself to sleep.  And so did his mom.  Speaking of Abigial, now that there was no other way to get income, she had gone out to see if there were hospitals she could work at.  Logan heard the front door open and saw Sunset about to leave.  "Sunset wait!  Where are you going?!"  He rushed to the door.


"I'm leaving!" she said sobbing.  "You're not safe around me!  You or your mom!"  If I wasn't here your father would still be alive!"  She knew Logan wanted to help her, but if being here caused his father to get killed, then she didn't deserve to be anywhere near him.  She was about to leave but Logan grabbed her arm and pulled her back inside.  He gave her a hug and said.


"How many times do I have to tell you?  You did nothing wrong ok?  Those four especially that one bully is just a heartless cunt..."  He paused for a moment.  Unsure how Sunset would react.  "And besides...you're one of my best friends." 


Sunset sniffed.  "R-Really?"


"Yes!"  Logan could feel himself turning red now.  "In fact...I see you more than that.  He said so quietly but Sunset heard.


"Wait?  You're saying?-"


"I love you, Sunset." Logan said barely above a whisper.  His face was so red now, it could compete with a tomato for which had the brightest shade of red.


"Y-You mean it?" Sunset asked.  Logan was a bit relieved to see she was not disgusted with him.  


"Yes!  I started to have a crush on you a little after we met..."


Sunset was lost for words.  Then she began to cry.  
"I-I love you too!" she whispered.  Logan went forward and kissed her on the lips.  Sunset didn't reset as she kissed him back pressing her lips onto his.  It went for long seconds until they pulled apart.  Sunset hugged Logan and started to cry and his shirt started getting wet from her tears again.  He smiled.
Lets hope this can last.  Third time is the charm, he thought
