Blame it on the rain
Open scene: Logan's apartment. He and Rory are lying in bed, Logan is absentmindedly playing with her hair as she rests her head on his chest. Logan is talking about what they are going to do later that night, Rory isn't interested so she gets up and goes to get the paper but Logan doesn't notice he just keeps yammering on and on about how much "fun" they are going to have. Rory hasn't been paying attention at all so she just nods every now and then and throws in a "ok" "sure" "sounds good" just so he can think she is listening.
Logan: so what do you think ace?
Rory: …ok.
Logan: really?
Rory: …sure.
Logan: ok so ill pick you up at around 7?
Rory: …sounds good.
Logan: ok I gotta run. Ill see you tonight ace. Love you.
He kisses her on the cheek and she manages a weak smile. She doesn't even bother saying it back anymore. He is out the door so quickly that even if she had wanted to, he wouldn't have been around to hear it. Love. She scoffs at the thought now. She had been in love before. This wasn't love. This was torture. She was once satisfied living a life of luxury with carefree days and parties every night. But now she feels trapped, suffocated and alone. The once strong and independent woman that every one knew and loved was now almost completely gone. And no one knew how to get her back. Its not like Rory didn't see herself disappearing, she did. And it scared the crap out of her.
She can pinpoint the exact moment where everything in her life went from bad to worse, the kiss at Truncheon. Jess Mariano. She had made such a huge mistake that night. She kissed Jess and then ran out on him like he had done to her so many years ago. Both their hearts were breaking that night. She would never be able to forget the look on his face that night. She would never forget his eyes. His eyes, they were so full hurt and disappointment.
"It is what it is. You. Me." Those words tore her to shreds but she didn't show it. She never did when it came to him. She had learnt to hide her pain well though the years. But she didn't set out to hurt jess that night. That wasn't her intention at all. It wasn't revenge for all the crap he had put her through it was just…them. Jess and Rory. Rory and Jess. She had loved him. Loves? No loved. Yea...that's right… right? At least that's what she had to keep telling herself. When Rory had received her invitation to Jess's open house in Philly she was so proud of him. Since they day they had met she had known that he was special. He was meant for so much more. She was so inexplicably drawn to him that no matter how hard she tried to love Dean she just couldn't anymore. Jess Mariano, the reformed bad-boy. She would love him forever. Deep down she knew that they would find each other again. She just didn't know how soon it would turn out to be.
