RORY POV
It had been five years since my graduation. That day, not only had Logan left my life but so had the rest of the LDB. I never realized how much they impacted my life. I went on the Obama campaign after graduation and tried to move on with my life. I had missed them all but I knew that there was no going back.
I had recently moved to Boston and was working for the Boston Post. It was a basic features writer job but it was paying the rent.
I met Kaitlyn during my time on the Obama campaign and we both had gotten jobs in Boston. She had become one of my best friends and with the lack of men in our lives recently we were determined to go out and have some fun.
Kaitlyn had been my biggest support. She helped me get my mind off of Logan and finally move on by talking with me and introducing me to new guys. I had dated a few guys casually since then but nothing seriously. I hadn't met anyone worth the effort especially with all the traveling I was dong at the time.
I had helped her move on from her cheating ex by listening and being her wing woman.
It was a Friday night in Boston and Kaitlyn and I were headed to a bar. I hadn't been to this bar since I first moved to Boston about a year ago but we wanted to have some fun and a change of scenery from our local pub.
We walked in and immediately made our way to the bar to order our drinks. While we were waiting I decided to scan the bar and that is when I saw someone I thought I would never see again, Colin. Right as I was looking at him, he looked my way. We locked eyes briefly.
I immediately looked away and tried to hide my face. Kaitlyn must have noticed something wrong because she couldn't help but comment.
"Hey Ror, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost?" she asked me.
I looked at her trying to decide what to say but decided to just be honest. "Yeah, well that's because I kind of did. Do you remember how I told you about Logan?" I waited to see her nod before I continued.
"Well, one of his best friends, Colin, is here in this bar. I haven't seen any one them in five years and I just don't know how awkward it will be."
"Do you want to leave?" She asked me worriedly.
I didn't know what to do but figured I should stick around and see if anything happens. "No its ok. We can stay. Maybe he wont come over."
Right as I said that, she was looking at the guy approaching us and as I turned around I saw it was Colin.
"Is the guy walking this way Colin? He's cute!" Kaitlyn exclaimed.
I turned back to Kaityn and let her know that the guy was Colin and not to leave me alone.
Before I could continue, he had tapped my shoulder and I turned around.
"Reporter girl. Good to see you. It's been too long."
"Hey Colin. How have you been?" I asked nervously
"I've been good. I didn't expect to see you hanging out at the bar." He said curiously.
"Yeah, I was looking for a change of scenery and we decided to try this bar…Oh, this is my friend Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn this is Colin." I said while looking pointedly at Kaitlyn. I continued to ask him, "What are you doing out here in Boston?"
"I've been living out here for a couple of years. Decided to get my law degree at Harvard. What are you doing out here?" he asked me smiling.
"I work at the Boston Post as a features writer. I've been living here for the past year." I said to him.
He stared at me for a few moments. I could tell he was debating something before he began speaking again.
"Why don't you come join me and some of my friends." He then leant in to whisper to me, "Don't worry about Logan. I wont bring him up if you don't. I've missed hanging out with you"
I looked up at him and saw the sincerity in his eyes. Then I looked over at Kaitlyn to see what she thought and saw her nod. I could tell she wanted to meet some guys. So I decided to take a chance and see how it goes.
"Ok. We'll join you."
