Because of You

This is AU. Rory and Logan are only a year apart in age. Rory is a Gilmore-Hayden. Other than that please read and find out.

This isn't my best but I started writing and here it goes.

BTW…as usual I don't own anything.

Chapter 1

He was scanning the beach looking for the girl he used to call his friend but all he saw was a bunch of guys surrounding a lounge chair. Intrigued he approached the group and came to the base of the chair, his eyes scanned the body in front of him, long legs, toned stomach, prefect breast only covered by a black bikini. He was brought out of his gaze when he heard his name.

"Logan!!"…"Logan!"

He couldn't believe this woman knew his name but then she stood up and took off her sunglasses and he was brought to reality when he saw her eyes. Eyes he could never forget, eyes of his best friend who he was checking out.

"Rory?"

"Of course it's me." She then wrapped her arms around him "I can't believe you made it, I missed you."

He wrapped his arms around her, feeling her smooth skin, he began to feel warm; he knew he had to pull away before he became over-heated.

"Wow Rory…yeah, I've missed you too…how are you?" He was stammering, he never stammered around a girl but he was never in so much shock either.

"I'm good, actually great. Listen, why don't I gather my things and we can walk over to my grandparent's house?"

"Sure."

She went back to the chair to gather her things and all he heard was the other guys asking her for her number or if she would be around later and to his surprise she told them to meet her back at this spot tomorrow morning. His mind was reeling, this was not the girl he used to spend his summers with, this was not the girl he remembered…this girl was more of a woman and it bothered him.

She saw him searching for her but she wasn't going to run to him, she used to do that when they were young and what did that get her…nothing.

He was her first crush but he only saw her as a little girl, a girl he crushed when she was 14. She remembered that day clearly she had gotten back from her shopping trip in Boston a day early and went out searching from him, he was 15 but he still hung out with her while they were stuck at the Vineyard. She went to their "spot", a little alcove that they would hang out in, read, talk debate; she always felt it was their special place. As she approached she heard a girl giggling, she almost turned away thinking someone else had claimed their spot when she heard his voice, he was telling this girl that she was "hot". She remembered the girl asking why he hadn't approached her sooner and why was he always with that Hayden girl and it was then that he crushed her "Rory, I feel bad for her so I hang out with her but she's like a little sister, you know always following you around like a puppy dog."

She didn't stay to hear anything else as she ran as fast as her legs can carry, she was breaking the rule that "Gilmore" girls don't run and she didn't care.

She ran into the house crying and was happy that the first person she saw was her mom. She told Lorelai everything and asked if they could go home. They were on the first ferry back.

That was four summers ago and she had changed a lot in those years. She still read and was responsible but after that moment she decided she wouldn't be anyone's little sister again. She went into her freshman year at Chilton a changed girl; she did graduate as the Valedictorian but she was also the homecoming and prom queen, she dated and had no problem finding a date when she needed one but she knew she did this all for one reason only…Logan.

She hated being that girl who bases her decisions on one guy but she wanted to prove to him that she was always more than a little sister if he only looked and based on how he was checking her out moments before she knew he got the picture.

She gathered her things along with some numbers and joined him for the walk to the house.

"So how are you?" He asked again.

She laughed "Are you getting forgetful in your advanced age?"

He looked at her with a questioning look.

"You asked me that already."

"Oh, yeah, right."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Well the Logan I remember never had a problem striking up a conversation."

"I just have a lot on my mind." Like when did the girl I used to know become the knock-out I now see.
