Logans POV

Logan was walking down the streets of New Haven when his phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Logan it's your father."

Fuck! Why didn't I check caller id?! Logan silently scolded himself

"Hello Father calling to tell me what a failure I am? Or how much you wish I were more like Honor?" He replied bitterly.

"Logan Elias Huntzberger, I have no time for you idiotic jokes I was calling to tell you your presence is needed at a dinner party in New York on Friday night with me and some of my most prominent clients"

"Gee Dad Friday? Sorry I have plans. I am going to be washing my car, writing my History paper, doing laundry, after than I think I will poke my eyes out with a fork." He replied sarcasm dripping from his voice

"Logan quite frankly I don't care if you have tea scheduled with the Queen you are coming to this dinner! You better be on you absolute best behavior! Try not to be more of a disappointment than you already are."

And with that the line went dead.

Logan tried to pretend that his father's words didn't hurt him. But deep down they always stung just a little. No matter what he did he could never make he father proud. Like that time in 3rd grade when he got 2nd place in the essay contest at his school, he didn't even get a good job son or I'm proud of you his father simply told him that

"2nd place is just the first loser Logan and Huntzbergers are not losers."

So he did the only thing he knew how to do disappoint him. He would constantly get in trouble at school and when he got older would sleep with as many girls as he could and get shit faced. But no matter how many times he got called to the principles office or how girls he slept with or how drunk he got he couldn't make the sadness in his life go away.

Caught up in his own thoughts he wasn't looking where he was walking. He looked up just in time to see the car coming towards him and then it all went black.

Rory's POV

Rory Hayden was in the middle of her "War in the Middle East" class when her phone started ringing the opening notes the song Queen "You're my Best Friend". Walking out of her class leaving a rather annoyed looking professor, she flipped her phone open.

" What do you want Tris? This better be good! I think my professor will be furious with me for the rest of the...!" Rory exclaimed starting on what was sure to be a long rant in till her life long best friend Tristan DuGrey interrupted.

"RORY!"

"Gees Tris! Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed the morning! Did one of your conquest take up too much room?" She replied with a smirk.

"Rory this is serious your Mother is in the hospital."

Rory felt tears brimming the corners of her eyes. Rory and her mother shared a bond most people didn't understand. Her mother Lorelai was one of her best friends the one she could tell everything too.

" Oh my god Tris what happened? Is she all right please tell me she is alright. I can't live without her I can't." Rory rambled now full on sobbing.

" Rory listen to me. Your mother is fine. We wer-"

" Tris! Don't you ever scare me like that! Wait why are you with her she is suppose to be in New York? AND WHY IS SHE IN THE HOSPITAL?!"

"I was trying to explain that but you keep interrupting me!. As I was saying your mom called me this morning telling me she was driving in from New York early today and your father was going to be coming in later this afternoon. She wanted you to have Chicken Fried Steaks because she knows it your favorite so me being the lovely gentlemen I am said I would cook them because I know you guys cant even cook toast without setting something on fire."

"Tris as much as I am enjoying story time, I am waiting for the part where you tell me why my mother is in the hospital."

" I am getting their Hayden! Now stop interrupting me! Anyways she comes over to my dorm because lets face it we all know you don't even own a pan. So your mother starts begging me to help so I tell her she can cut the potatoes for fries. So I give her a knife and she starts cutting the potatoes next thing I know she jumps out in pain because she cut herself and knocks over the deep fryer and the oil spills all over her foot."

"Tristan! You know you can never let a Hayden girl do anything in the kitchen!"

" But she kept begging and I was getting so annoyed! I mean who gets burned when chopping up potatoes?!"

" Hayden girls that's who! Are you with her? Is she okay? Does she need some kind of skin graft?" Rory asks getting back on the topic of her mother

" Thankfully the burns were not that severe so no surgery is needed. Although she is going to need to have some stiches from the cut on her hand."

" Oh no. You know how my mom hates needles. What hospital are y'all at? I will get my stuff and be on my way."

" We are at New Haven General hospital, and Rory I would hurry. They are very busy so they have your mom in this room with some guy who got hit by a car and she keeps poking he to see if he is awake."

"Okay I am on my way and Tris? Tell her that if she stops poking the guy I will bring her coffee." Rory says grabbing her bag out of her now empty classroom and heading out of the door of the Political Science the building.

" Why didn't I think of that! Hayden girls will do anything for coffee!" Tristan said as he hung up the phone.

Rory sped into the parking lot of New Haven General Hospital. Rory always hated hospitals. The florescent lighting tinted everyone's skin green and made people appear as though they were sick. She especially hated this hospital in particular. The last time she was here was because some creep slipped a pill in her drink. Thank God Tristan was there and saw Rory being half drug half carried to the nearest bedroom or who knows what would have happened. Tristan then immediately punched the guy and took Rory to the hospital. Rory rarely got drunk but she did never was so drunk that she couldn't even form a coherent sentence. So Tristan took her to the hospital because he knew something was really wrong. They found out the pill the guy put in her drink was a very common date rape drug that when taken in small doses could make you forget what happened in the morning, But when it was consumed it larger doses it could be fatal. Well the asshole didn't know that and gave Rory to big of a dose. If it wouldn't have been for Tristan she wouldn't have gotten off with just getting her stomach pumped she would have been dead. To this day Rory never accepts drinks from guys and Tristan makes sure he or someone he trusts can see Rory during a party at all times.

Sighing Rory parked her car, grabbed her purse and the coffee she got for her Mom and headed towards the doors. When Rory walked through the door the smell of what only could be described as hospital hit her nose. Scrunching her nose she walked up to the front desk.

"Excuse me could you please tell which room Lorelai Hayden is in please"

"Why do you want to know?" The nurse asked not looking up from the computer. She was about 5'2 and had dirty blonde hair that was piled on top of her head in a messy bun and was wearing a pair of Barney scrubs.

"Her daughter" Rory bit back rudely. Rory could not believe the way some people acted. For all the nurse knew her mother could have been dying right that second and because of the nurses attitude she could have missed one last moment with her mother. Sure her mother was only getting stiches in her hand but you would think that a woman that sees people die everyday would be a little more considerate about what people could be going through. Rory saw as the woman's eyes widened in realization of what she just said and more importantly who she just said it to. Her family was huge a contributor to Yale. They even went as far as to go against Rory's protest to have a "Rory Hayden Library" built. Rory hated all of the attention and knew her parents thought it was funny to embarrass her. Her parents originally wanted the local coffee shop to be named after her but the Dean said no matter how much money her family donated that it just wouldn't be possible so they settled on the next best thing.

"Oh I am so sorry Miss Hayden! I didn't realize it was you! Your mother is in room 512" The women replied in a small scared voice

Rory didn't reply. She didn't have time to tell the woman just how wrong it was.

Rory walked down the hallway and made a left towards the elevators. Stepping into the elevators just as the doors were closing her cell phone started ringing.

"Hello?" Rory asked she rarely checked her the caller ID. She always figured that if someone were calling that it was for a reason and if she could answer if she would.

"Rory where are you? You were supposed to be home 30 minutes ago after your class ended we were going to do have some roommate bonding time." Brittany her roommate asked with fake concern

Rory chuckled to herself. Rory and her roommate Brittany didn't get along very well but ever since she was drugged Brittany was constantly checking up on her. She had a feeling it was because Tristan had flirted with her and asked her to look out for "his girl" Brittany had agreed with enthusiasm thinking it might give her a chance with Tristan.

"Brittany we had no plans. We never even talk in less you are checking to see if I am dead because Tristan asked you to or asking me about Tristan, and when I will not talk about Tristan you tell me I am a bitch that is keeping him all the herself. I can't talk to you right now my mother is in the hospital. But if the reason you are calling is because you want Tristan to know you called I will be sure to tell him." Rory said a little angry that Tristan had convinced Brittany to call her regularly. She knows that Tristan is just looking out for her but she can't help it. Brittany is really annoying and that is saying a lot coming from Rory.

"Whatever. I wont even try to pretend I called because I am the concerned roommate. Just tell Tristan I checked up on you." Brittany replied in a bitchy tone and hung up the phone.

Just as Rory was putting her phone back in her pocket the elevator doors opened on her floor. Walking down the hallway searching for the room her mother was in she heard Tristan and Lorelai arguing

"Lorelai stop poking the poor guy what did he do to deserve you poking him?" Tristan asked sounding rather annoyed.

"He left me alone with you! I don't want to speak to you! You let me cook! If it weren't for you I wouldn't be here." Lorelai said with a pout

"This is not my fault! You kept begging and I couldn't take it anymore! I am not the one that cut your hand or spilled the oil!"

" You might as well should have" Lorelai muttered under her breath

Just as Tristan was about to reply Rory decided to make her presence know.

"Mommy! I brought coffee! But only if you stop poking the unconscious handsome man in the bed next to you and apologize to Tristan you know this wasn't his fault." Rory said in her best authority like voice. Sometimes Rory felt like she was the parent.

"But Rory..." Loreali whined to Rory with a pout

" Not buts apologize or you don't get your coffee." Rory said with a frown, stomping her foot for emphasis.

" Fine I'm sorry Trissy. Now gimme the coffee!" Lorelai exclaimed

Shaking her head Rory handed her mother the coffee and looked at Tristan and they both busted out laughing.

"You said. and then she " Tristan said breathlessly between laughs.

" I know then I" Rory replied trying to reply bursting into laughter again.

After a few more minutes they had both finally calmed down and stopped laughing. They both sat down Tristan in the chair and Rory on his lap because Lorelai said she was injured and there was no way she would share her bed with anyone.

"Rory you know I'm not Santa right" Tristan said smirking at the way they were sitting

" I don't know Tris... You see me when I am sleeping and you know when I am awake and you know when I am bad because you are usually the one making me do the bad things and every year on Christmas you give me a nice gift, usually something shiny. " Rory replied jokingly.

"Ror you make me sound like a stalker instead of your devilishly handsome, charming, and witty best friend"

"Okay, "

"Ask any of the ladies they will confirm that fact."

"EW TRISTAN! Must everything be a sexual innuendo with you?" Rory asked pretending to be disgusted, but secretly she liked his innuendos. Not that she would ever admit it.

"Not everything, but most things" Tristan replied with a smirk

"Okay you too! Lets get back to the real reason you are here! Little old me! But I am not old Little Young me. Yeah that's better." Lorelai replied stopping them from the playful banter the two had going on.

"Yes of course mother you are the most important thing. So would you like to tell me why you felt the urge to help Tristan cook?" Rory replied really curious as to why her mother wanted to help cook. Every time Christopher, Rory's father tried to get Loreali to cook with him she replied with 'Sorry babe I have errands to run' or 'This is my favorite part of the movie' or would just burst out laughing as if it were a joke.

" Yes Lorelai do tell. You are always coming up with excuses to not help Chris in the kitchen." Tristan said

" Well long story short I was bored. I mean Tristan looked like he was having so much fun and I was getting bored just teasing Tristan about wearing a Man-pron." Loreali smirked looking at Tristan.

" Tristan was wearing his man-pron again?!" Rory asked busting into a fit of giggles

"Hey I can pull of the man-pron and it keeps my clothes from getting dirty!" Tristan defended

"Of course Tristan you rock the man-pron." Rory replied sarcastically

"Ror do you remember that year we got Tristan a man-pron for Christmas?!" Lorelai asked bringing on another burst of laughter

" Oh my Gosh yes! It was pink and said "Tristans Man-pron" What ever happened to it Tris?" Rory replied giggling

"I burned the thing! I mean why would I wear that?!" Tristan exclaimed

"And the one with Chile Peppers all over it is so much better" Lorelai said still giggling.

"Why wouldn't you wear it Tris not feeling comfortable in masculinity? You know they say only real men can wear pink." Rory got out through giggles.

Tristan rolled his eyes and was about to respond when the doctor walked in.

"Hi I am Dr. Jamison. You must be Lorelai. I am here to stitch up your hand" the doctor said he was about 6'2 with black hair and brown eyes.

" I am sorry I think you have the wrong room my name is not Lorelai my name is Candy!" Lorelai said with bedroom eyes she hated needles and was not about to let the doctor come any where near he hand with one if she could help it.

" My apologies Candy I will just be on my way then..." The doctor said walking out the door.

" No wait! Her name is Lorelai Hayden NOT Candy. She needs stitches in her hand. She just hates needles." Rory said in a hurry not wanting the doctor to leave thinking he had the wrong room.

Rory turned to her mother.

"Candy really? What are you a stripper" Rory said as she rolled her eyes

"Well I have the body for it." Lorelai said with a wink

" Oh I see. Well let me all the supplies and I will start." The doctor said walking towards the cabinet to get the supplies needed looking a bit flushed.

"Lore now I bet if you good the doctor will give you a sticker." Tristan replied meaning it as a joke but Lorelai took it as though he were serious.

"Really?! Do you have a Hello Kitty sticker?" replied Loreali exclaiming happily.

The doctor looked at her as if she were crazy. Looking at Tristan to see if she was serious who just shrugged as a response. He thought if it would make it easier on himself he would just get the lady a Hello Kitty sticker.

"Sure if you are a very good girl you can have a hello kitty sticker" Dr. Jamison said not believing what was coming out of his mouth.

" I am not a child and I would appreciate it if you would not speak to me as if I were one." Lorelai huffed.

Dr. Jamison just shrugged as a response. The things you see and people you have to deal with being a doctor. With that thought he walked over to Lorelai and stitched up her hand.

Logans Pov

Logan heard people talking well, more like arguing.

"Mom the doctor gave you a hello kitty sticker why are you complaining?" a young girl Logan guesses she was around his age ask sounding rather annoyed.

"Because the sticker is small! And it wont even stay on my forehead!" exclaimed the women Logan guessed must be the other girls mother.

"Tristan get me another sticker! I saw the doctor pull it out of one of those drawers!." The older women exclaimed!

"Lore I am not going to steal a Hello Kitty sticker!" A young male voice opened.

Logan could not believe what he was hearing. People were arguing over whether or not the lady could have another sticker. Wait where am I Logan thought. Logan kept trying to remember what happened. Okay he remembers talking to his father and him telling him about the business dinner. What happened after that? He remembers hanging up the phone and walking and then the car coming towards him. 'Shit I got hit by a car' Logan winced at the thought he decided he needed to open his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes and his brown eyes were met by the most gorgeous pair of blue orbs he as ever seen. He couldn't bring himself to say anything but just stare back into those gorgeous eyes.

"Hi I am Rory. My mother is in the bed next to yours. Are you okay do I need to get the doctor?" Rory said her eyes showing concern

"I'm Logan" He said still amazed by her beauty. Logan tried moving his hand to try and shake hers he winced in pain. Looking down he saw that his left arm as well as his right leg were is a cast. 'That's just fucking fantastic' Logan thought. Out of everything Finn did you would think the last thing that would injure him would be walking down the fucking street. I mean for gods sake he has been skydiving, bungee jumping, and even drove through a hoop of fire on a motorbike but he get injured walking down the street.

"Tristan go get the doctor! I think there is something wrong." Rory told the Tristan her voice full of concern.

"I think that would be best love " Logan said still in pain from when he tried to move this arm.

Just then Doctor Jamison walked in with a clipboard that they all presumed were Logans medical records.

"Hello Mr. Huntzberger my name is Doctor Jamison. I have been the Doctor put in charge of your case. "

"So what's wrong with me Doc.? Logan asked in a joking manner trying to lighten the mood. The doctor kept giving mean glances towards the women in the bed next to him.

"You see when the car hit you it shattered your leg. So we had to go in and piece your leg back together. I know it sounds horrifying but it wasn't too bad so you will be able to walk in about 6-8 weeks. Also when you were hit you broke you hand. No surgery was needed on your hand we just set it. You also have 3 bruised ribs nothing needs to be done about that you just need to let them heal. When you hit the ground you also hit your head causing you to have a concussion. You are a very lucky man Mr. Huntzberger if that car you have been going any faster you could have punctured a lung."

"Well that's just fucking fantastic! When will I be able to get out of here?" Logan asked annoyed that he wouldn't be able to walk for a while, but couldn't help thinking the chicks might dig it.

" Well sir, we want to keep you in the hospital for about a week to make sure that you don't have any head injuries or internal bleeding other than that you should be able to leave as long as you have someone to look after you for a couple a weeks to make sure that you wake up every three hours because of your concussion." Dr. Jamison said trying her hardest to not go off on this guy and tell him what a jerk he was. With that she walked out of the room.

" Great! Not only do I have to stay here for a week but I have to have a fucking babysitter for 2 weeks after?! Well that's just bloody fantastic." Logan muttered under his breath, thinking about how much he was starting to sound like Finn.

Rorys POV

Rory was in the middle of arguing with her mother when she saw the man in the bed next to her mother wince in pain. Getting off of Tristan's lap she made her way over to his bed looking down at the man just as he opened his eyes. Rory could not believe how beautiful his eyes were. I mean she thought he was attractive before with his blonde hair that was sticking up in all different direction, and his skin that was tanned golden to perfection but when he opened his eyes he went from handsome to drop dead gorgeous. His eyes were a chocolate brown color with speaks of gold in them she felt like she could just get lost in them. She felt like she had been staring into his eyes for hours, which in all actuality had only been a few seconds. She decided she needed to break the silence.

"Hi I am Rory. My mother is in the bed next to yours. Are you okay do I need to get the doctor?" Rory said her voice showing that she was really concerned for the handsome young man.

"I'm Logan" He replied his voice husky from sleep. 'God could he be more perfect' Just then she saw him wince in pain.

"Tristan go get the doctor! I think there is something wrong." Rory said snapping out of her thoughts she was concerned for the man that she just learned was named Logan.

Rory sat and watched as the doctor explained what was wrong and him get annoyed about how long he would have to stay at the hospital. She watched as the doctor walked out of the room. Rory walked back over to Finn.

"Can I get you anything?" Rory asked. The man was alone so she thought it was the least she could do.

"Could you get me out of here?" Logan asked in a joking manner. His eyes twinkling with humor.

"No, but I could get you a spoon." Rory replied with a smirk.

Logan couldn't help but burst out into a fit of laughter. Implying that he could dig his way out of here was just too funny. Logan really wished he wouldn't have laughed, because the sharp intake of breath caused a horrific pain in his ribs.

"Are you okay?" Rory asked great she just met the guy and had already caused him pain twice. 'Way to go to Hayden' she thought.

" I am fine. Just the laughing shot a pain through me that's all." Logan said trying to slow his breathing so the pain would stop.

"Oh sorry. But I am serious is there anything I can get for you?" Rory said feeling guilty about causing the man pain.

"Actually could I borrow your phone? I want to call my sister and tell her where I am." Logan said finally breathing slow enough to make the pain stop.

" Of course! Here you go." Rory said putting in her the passcode to her phone and handing it to him.

Logan started dialing his sister Honors phone number. Logan has a bad relationship with his mother and an even worse relationship with his father, but he and Honor were really close. They looked out for each other. They would always cheer each other on when he had a tennis game or she had a dance recital or as a kid because neither of their parents cared enough to show up. They were all each other had and they depended on each other. They gave each other all the support their parents neglected to give them.
