Ok, my newest fic. I hope you love it. This first chapter is short, 'cause it's only an introduction. By the way, this chapter is deticated to Noelle, who basically wrote it out of bordum.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with Gilmore Girls, though I wish I did

Rating: T, you can guess what for

Pairing: Rogan (with Colphanie, Finnmary, and Christolai)

Summary: Rory was already falling. He had broken her heart, she had tried to convince herself that she had forgiven him, but they both knew that wasn't true. She had already been on the edge of breaking, she just needed the push. When he had his accident, she felt as if everything would be right again, for some reason it felt as if she could trust him again. Just a few weeks later, he was gone. She got the push she needed with his departure. That push sent her back to the man she had thought was only her past.

Lying Here Without You

PROLOGUE: "Tell me not to go". At this very moment I wished with every molecule of my body that I had told him what he wanted. Curled up within the tan colored security of the satin comforter, which still carried the sent of him, I tried to bite back the onslaught of tears that begged, and pleaded, to fall. I wanted this heartbreak to leave me alone. I felt so alone, and lost, without him. Who else would I run to when my troubles took a grip on my aching heart? How will I face tomorrow without you. Who's there?

"Hey" Jess said, briskly walking through the door and kissing her on the cheek

"Hey" she said, returning his smile

"I just wanted to say that I have to work a late shift at the book store tonight, babysitting Kyle's poet or something like that. I was going to call, but actually coming home for once today seemed a little more personal" He grinned at her

He was charming, but still not as much so as Logan had been. Rory cursed herself for thinking about Logan. It had been over a year. She had left the day Logan left, just jumping in her car and driving away. She didn't know where she was going, but she found herself at Jess's bookstore. He had convinced her to finish her year at Yale, but she had moved in with him. It had been about seven months now. Seven months, she knew Logan had been back in America without her. She tried not to think about him, about what he must have thought when Colin or Finn told him that she was gone, or worse, if they hadn't told him, what he must have thought when he came home to an apartment without her. Why was she thinking about him now? She knew she was happy, she had a great life, a great job, a great boyfriend, why did she need to have such a distracted mind? She knew perfectly well why she was thinking about him. It was his birthday this month, it would be the second birthday of his she hadn't been there for. She shook all thoughts of him out of her mind, it was Jess now, Logan was a thing of the past. Rory looked up to see that Jess had left.

"Earth calling Rory, please answer Rory" a voice called softly

"Hmm? Oh, Sophie, it's you" Rory took a deep breath

"Of course it's me, who else would wait here for ten minutes trying to get you to respond" She girl smiled. She was stunning. Black, straight, silky hair cascaded around her shoulders, amplifying her piercing green eyes. She and Rory made the perfect pair, the two of them made every guy stare.

"Sorry, I was daydreaming" Rory said, brushing her own chestnut hair away from her face

"Ohh, about what? I mean... who?" Sophie asked slyly

"Shut up, no, it wasn't Jess. I don't dream about Jess"

"Shush, he might be offended to hear you say such a thing" Sophie teased, "And if it wasn't Jess, who was it? Are you having an affair?"

"Oh for the love of Pete!" Rory threw her hands in the air, laughing at her friends antics

"Oh, who's Pete? Someone I should know about?" Sophie said playfully

"Goodbye Soph, journalist at work here"

"Hey, I'm a journalist too you know"

"What article are you doing now? The secret life of Rory Gilmore?" Rory asked sarcastically

"You are good, how did you know? Those journalistic senses must be in overdrive 24-7"

"Go away Soph, work on something for once"

"hey, all work and no play is no fun" Sophie pouted

"In your case, all play and no work is fun. Geeze, you sound like Fi..." Rory caught herself. She had been friends with Sophie since she have moved to Philidelphia with Jess, best friends, but she had never told Sophie about herself, well, about her college life at least. For some reason, Rory felt like she couldn't talk about it until she had truly moved on.

"Rory? Your zoned out again" Sophie informed her

"Huh? Oh sorry, you just reminded me of something"

"I'm thinking it was a someone. Care to clue me in?"

"Go away Sophie!" Rory laughed, turning back to her work to escape her memories.

"Have fun at work?" Jess asked, after dinner, when the pair sat on the small apartments couch, ignoring the TV as it blarred before them.

"Oh just a swell day. Everytime I drift off, daydreaming, Sophie thinks I'm dreaming of my other lover" Rory rested her head on his chest

"Your other lover?" Jess raised one eyebrow

"Oh yes, did I forget to tell you? I'm having a passionate affair with a British guy named James" Rory looked at him, doeeyed

"Well then I guess it's time to confess that I wasn't really at work today, I was at my lover Cindy's house" Jess played back

"Was there sex involved?" Rory asked him

"Oh, very passionate sex, probably the best I've ever had" Jess tried to look serious

"Then I guess it's all over for us" Rory said dramatically, "You go to Cindy, and I'll go to James, I'm sorry that this didn't work between us"

"You know we could still be friends" Jess looked at her suggestivly, still playing their little game

"Friends can have benifits you know" Rory told him

"Is this one of the benifits?" Jess asked, leaning over to kiss her

"I don't know, you'll have to call the judge on that one" Rory continued to tease, before kissing him again

"Hey, coming to the pub with us?" Finn asked

"Nah, I don't feel like it" Logan said, not moving from his place on the couch

"Oh Logan, please don't tell me you broke up with Casandra? That's the fifth girl this month. What was it this time?" Colin asked

"She told me that I was to distant, that I always looked like I was somewhere else when I kissed her or spoke to her" Logan explained

"Were you?" Finn asked him

"Well, you now how I get around birthdays, even my own. I start remembering her birthday, the one where we were going to go to Atlantic City and buy tenty one things, but instead we were stuck at a party at her grandparents house, and Rory's grandparents hired a minister to talk to her because they found out we were sleeping together. I don't know why I always think of that, maybe because its a memory of the time we were happy together"

"It definatly sounds like there is a story there, tel us when we come back from the bar,nice and drunk so we won't remember it tomorrow" Finn told him

"Will do. You guys have fun, I have to fill out some job application forms anyways" Logan motioned to the mound of papers scattered on the coffee table before him

"I thought you had hundreds of places hounding you to come work for them" Colin said, confused

"Yeah, but I want to work for a small newspaper, one that nobody knows, and that barely knows me, one that my father has no influence over and doesn't approve of, I want to have I job that I have because of who I am, my talent, and because I like it, not because my daddy is some big-shot" Logan told them

"Interesting... Oh well, you have fun with that, and we'll have fun with the ladies and the drinks" Finn told him, walking out the door with Colin

Logan's mind drifted back to Casandra. She had been pretty, but not Rory. Logan had thought he had gotten over Rory, over the disbelief when Colin called him and told him, over the shock when he came home and found out it was true, Rory had left. She had even changed her number, when he tried calling, someone named Mike picked up, not Rory. He was doing pretty well, almost forgeting he and Rory had ever been an "us", it was only when something jogged his memory, like a birthday, did he break down for a day or two, then he was back to normal. He hoped he would live his life forever like this. He hoped he could truly get over Rory Gilmore. He wondered why she left, why she never called, what she felt about him, and if she got the same empty feeling when she thought of him.
