10 year old Rory Gilmore and Logan Huntzburger were in her grandpa's study, at the latest charity function they were forced to go to.
"Logieeee" Rory pouted.
"Aceee I told you not to call me that." Logan whined.
"Aw, you're so cute. Thinkin' I would listen to you and what not."
"Ughhhhhhh." Logan said, exasperated.
"If you don't quiet down, they'll find us."
"Why don't we just go out to the pool house with Honor and her friends?"
"Because Honor said next time we were around her and her friends and we were uninvited she would do unspeakable things to us."
"Right, right."
The two sat in silence for like five minutes with nothing to do.
"You wanna come over this weekend? My mom and dad said they'd take us to Wolly World."
Logan hesitated before answering.
"Yeah, I'd love to."
Rory gave him her heart-stopping smile. And the two sat and played war the rest of the night.
The next day Rory walked over to Logans house. She loved the fact that she lived right next to her best friend. It was so convient. They could go over whenever they wanted. And they shared backyeards. It was perfect.
As she knocked on the door, she wandered why itwas taking him so long to get to the door. Normally he was at the door waiting for her knock. Finally the door opened and there stood Mitchum.
"Hey Ror. Watcha doin?"
She didn't waste anytime. Something was wrong.
"Where's Logan?"
Mitchum took a step back, and looked shocked.
"You mean he didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"He got sent away to boarding school. Over in England. I'm surprised he didn't tell you."
"Yeah me too."
Mitchum took the crying girls into his arms, and they stood there for 10 minutes. That's when Honor decided to appear.
"Hey what's wrong princess?"
"He made plans with me this weekend. And then he just leaves. and doesn't have the nerve to tell me. Some best friend."
"Aw babe, come here." Honor took the little girl from her dad and took her out back to the swings. They sat out there all night, it was quites, except for the occasional time when you could hear her crying. It was weird, it being so quiet. Usally her and Logan were out there and they made it super loud.
"Why'd he do it Honor?" Rory eventually asked.
"I don't know baby girl. Maybe because he was afraid to tell you goodbye."
"But... I am...was... his best friend. What am I supposed to do now?"
"Go out and make new friends, so that the day he comes back you can look him in the face and say 'Look Logan I did it. I survived with out you. I don't need you to look after me anymore, and I don't think I ever did.'"
"Isn't that kind of mean?"
"Isn't what he did, kind of mean?"
Rory just shook her head and knew she was right. Her best friend left her all alone and the only thing to do now was make new friends.
