Chapter 1: A Potential Break-Up

Rory woke up and didn't feel Logan next to her. She looked around, not comprehending any of her surroundings. She got up to go to the kitchen and make some coffee. Once she had some coffee she heard someone in the bathroom. She poured another cup for Logan and got some cereal. She was eating Captain Crunch and reading The New York Times when Logan came out all dressed for work.

"Morning Logan," Rory said and gave him a kiss on the check.

Logan murmured a response and saw the mug for him. He sighed and brushed his hand over his face. He was looking everywhere but at Rory. Rory was worried about how Logan was acting. He was acting like something big had happened but didn't know what to do about it.

"Is something wrong Logan?" Rory asked concerned about how Logan was acting.

"Rory, we have to talk. When do you have to go to work?" Logan asked.

"Um, in an hour or so," Rory replied, confused about what they had to talk about.

Rory thought about their relationship. They dated through college and two years after college. It was pretty serious but they never spoke about getting married or anything. Rory got excited, thinking that Logan was going to propose. She pushed that thought away because it didn't fit Logan's behavior. It was something else that Logan wanted to talk about.

"This isn't really easy to say," Logan said and sighed heavily.

Rory got scared thinking about the possibilities. He's breaking up with me, he slept with a girl, he's having an affair, Rory thought.

"Rory, we have to take a break. No, we have to break up. Um, ugh! I've been seeing this other girl for about a year and she's pregnant. She's due in three months actually. I'm sorry Rory. I was going to tell you earlier but then you left to go on a trip with Lane and Zack for a month. I really was going to tell you…", Logan explained.

Rory fought back tears and said, "What made you do something like this? Why did you want to hurt me?"

"Rory, I did love you but we've been growing apart. We haven't had sex in two years!"

"Oh, so it's about the sex now? You just wanted a girl to fuck with and found this girl you knocked up? That is so low, Logan."

"You never did anything to fix our relationship either Rory," Logan yelled.

"Whatever. Just go to work Logan. You'll never see me again," Rory said.

She ran to the bathroom and turned the shower on. She undressed and stepped in the shower. She started crying and her body heaved with each sob. She sat down in the tub and didn't even feel the water come down. She just felt empty and cold.

After awhile of crying, she started getting ready for work. She called the magazine and told them she was running late. She dried her hair quickly and slipped on some shoes. She grabbed her purse and slipped on some shoes. She looked around the apartment and left.

She was driving on autopilot. She could drive to work in her sleep if she could. She knew it that well. She wasn't even paying attention to her surroundings. She was just looking forward. She thought that was ironic since she didn't even know what was going to happen.

She turned left and saw the other car in front of her. She slammed on the brakes but still collided with the other car. She went forward and the seat belt choked her. She was trying to get the seat belt off her neck but when her hands left the wheel, her car smashed into the fence. Her world went blank.

One hour earlier

"Flight 286 is now landing into Boston, Massachusetts. Thank you for flying Southwest and we wish to see you again," the flight attendant said.

He was finally back to Massachusetts. Even though he wasn't going home, he was excited. He hasn't seen his friend since high school and he was about to live with him.

While Tristan was training for the Army, Parker Crawford started writing to him. Parker told him how senior year went and about Rory. Tristan never forgot about his Mary. She was the reason he stayed and worked his ass off. When he felt like he was about to die, he thought of her. His friends in the army force teased him about it.

After six years of being around the world he was sent home. If they needed him in Iraq he would get a call. But he sure hoped he didn't get the call.

Parker and a friend had picked up his car at the dealership and drove it to the airport. He got the keys and the picture in the mail a couple days ago. He was psyched to see his new car.

Once he was outside, he breathed in the Boston air. He crossed the road and walked to the parking garage. He saw his car and hopped in. It feels good to be behind the wheel again, thought Tristan.

He was on the road and following the GPS. He was thinking of Lorelei Leigh Gilmore. It was amazing how he could picture her face when he hasn't seen her in seven years. Her smile got to him the most. It was just so contagious.

He saw movement on his left and saw a car come towards him at full speed. Holy shit, thought Tristan and was about to gun it when the car came into contact with his. His head went into the window and the last thing he remembered was a girl screaming.
