A/N: Congratulate me poeple. This is my first Gilmore Girls fic and the first fic I've posted in like nine months. But the unbearable concentration of hotness that is Logan Huntzberger combined with the sheer amount of chemistry he has with Rory just inspired me to write a fic about one possible future that they could have together. Please read and enjoy. Reviewing wouldn't hurt either. Also, for the sake of this fic I've changed a few things. Lorelai and Luke are married with a baby on the way. She gets along with her dad and that huge fight in Wedding Bell Blues never happened. Everybody gets along with everybody.
Prologue
"Two large coffees please." Logan ordered when he got to the front of the line at the coffee kiosk. He was procuring the caffeine that he knew his girlfriend lived on. He paid for the coffee, grabbed a few packages of sugar and set off in the direction of Branford dorm. Logan was going to surprise Rory with some coffee before her first class in the morning, something he knew always pleased her. He had been buying the coffee for her for almost as long as they had been going out, about eight months. If he had known how much he was going to spend just on the 'nectar of the gods' as she called it, he might have invested in the bean industry from the very beginning. But it made her happy and that's all he wanted.
Logan couldn't wait to see his Ace. He had had to spend the weekend and most of Monday in New York with his parents and he hadn't seen her since Friday morning. She had said she had an appointment Friday afternoon and so had left after her last class. And since he would be gone she would spend the weekend at home in Stars Hollow with her mom and her new step-father Luke. Her mom was expecting a new little brother or sister for Rory and she was so excited about painting the crib with Luke and talking to her mom's stomach. He loved spending time with her and her family. He hadn't grown up like that. He saw his parents on birthdays and holidays provided that they didn't have prior engagements. Both his brother George and his sister Sarah were in boarding school in Switzerland and he only saw them on Christmas, Thanksgiving and summer break.
Lorelai had taken an immediate liking to Logan, as well as his friends Colin, Finn and Stephanie. They liked her too. Lorelai, Rory and Steph went shopping once and they still told tales of the fateful day. And Finn swore up and down that the minute he saw Lorelai his heart was stolen. To this very day every time he saw her he would ask her to run away with him. And Lorelai loved having a number one fan like him. She was especially partial to the serenading he would do at sunset, even though everyone tried to talk him out of it. Why Luke put up with it was beyond him.
Logan felt like he was a part of the family when he was around them. He loved to spend weekends in Stars Hollow with Rory and her family. He had even met her father Christopher and her little sister Georgia. GiGi he had won over by tossing her in the air and presenting her with a stuffed animal. Christopher hadn't been as easy, considering how they had first met. But when it became apparent that Rory was serious about Logan her dad had just given him the 'break her heart, I break your legs' speech and had to satisfy himself with occasionally glaring at him. There was just something about how Rory acted around her family. He loved how she looked in a domestic setting. He loved how she was in any setting. Logan was crazy about Lorelai Leigh Gilmore.
He got to her door and knocked softly, hoping against hope that Rory answered instead of the living nightmare that was her roommate Paris Geller. He was actually good friends with her by now but all the same it was never a good idea to wake Paris. She was as likely to bite your head off in the morning as Rory was before her coffee, something that the two girls had bonded over. Logan wondered for a minute if he should have gotten three cups instead of just two.
The door opened to reveal Paris standing on the other side holding a note in one hand. Luck is not with me this morning, thought Logan. Nevertheless he gave her a huge smile. "Morning there Geller. Is my beautiful girlfriend up yet?"
"Logan..." Paris trailed off not knowing what to say to him. "Maybe you better come inside and sit down," said Paris.
Paris was never this pleasant to him at this hour. Logan got a funny feeling in his chest. Giving her a questioning look Logan complied and sat down on the couch, putting the two coffees on the table. As he did so he noticed that there were boxes strewn around the room and some of them were halfway packed. "Going somewhere, Geller?"
"No Logan I'm not going anywhere. Paris closed the door and came over to stand in front of him. She looked like she was trying to figure out what to say to him but couldn't.
By this time Logan had a very bad feeling that he was not going to like what was coming next. "Where's Rory?" he asked with a little more forcefulness than before.
Paris looked very unseasy. She stole a glance at the piece of paper in her hands before turning back to him. "Logan, I-"
Logan knew somewthing was very very wrong. "Did something happen? Is it Rory? Is she hurt? What happened?" Logan was panicing by now.
"Logan, Rory's not here. I didn't see her all day yesterday and she still had not gotten back last night when I went over to Doyles'. When I came back a little while ago most of her stuff was packed."
Logan shot up off of the couch, needing to see for himself. He went over to Rory's room and opened the door. "Rory?" But she wasn't there. All her stuff was packed up and most of it was gone. He turned back to Paris. "What the hell is going on?"
Paris gave him a sad look. " I found this taped up on my door." She held out the note she had been holding.
Eager for an explanation Logan practically ripped the note from her outstretched hand and started reading, trying to ignore the sinking feeling that had now settled in his stomach.
Dear Paris,
Im so sorry to leave things like this but I got some news today that leaves me no other choice but to go. You've been such a good friend ever since our Chilton days when we didn't even get along and you've always stuck by me. You have no idea how hard this is, leaving you, my education and the life I've built for myself here at Yale.
And Logan. God, Logan. Please tell him that I'm so horribly sorry to have to go. I don't want to. I want to stay and wake up next to him for the rest of my life. But Life...Fate it seems has other plans for me. Tell him... tell him that I love him more than anything in this world. Tell him that I love him more than I ever thought was possible. Tell him that I will miss him more than he will ever know. But tell him that he can't try to find me. Neither of you can.
I don't know what else to say except that I'm sorry, I'll miss you and I love you both. I've never once regretted not going to Harvard and coming here instead. So thank you for coming here and dragging me with you. It made all the difference.
I hope that we'll see each other again someday. Life seems strange knowing we won't be living together anymore.
Your best friend, Rory Gilmore.
Logan reread the note once, twice, three times before everything started to sink in. She was gone. His Ace was gone.
Logan slowly sank to the floor still holding the note. His life had just changed forever, and he believed it was for the worst.
It registered in his mind that Paris was talking to him.
"Logan! Logan talk to me. Are you going to be okay?"
Logan turned his head so that he could look her in the eye. "No Paris. I really don't think that I am."
A/N: So what do you think? I know it's short but this was just the prologue. The actual chapters will be longer. So please review. Tell me if you like it, if you hate it, if you think Advil works better than Tylenol. I don't care what you tell me, just please review.
