Chapter One: Looking Back
Ch.1:Looking Back
I never knew life could be this hard. Maybe it's human nature, or the way we're raised. Maybe we are not meant to be happy. Maybe there are no happy endings. You know, I used to think that once you had a family you had it all. Things couldn't get any better than that. You were invincible.
I was wrong.
Things happen; shit happens. One minute you're on top of the world, the next one you are crushed under its weight.
It was the worst night of my life. I never thought I could feel much pain. My entire world collapsed; I was falling and was no one to catch me. That night changed my life forever.
Twenty-two years ago I met the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Well, considering she was eleven at the time, I guess I should say girl. From the moment I saw her I knew she was different from the rest. She was reading by a tree, near a potting shed that, as my twin sister Lizzie and I would later learn, served as her home. Then she looked up from her book and I saw her blue eyes. Right then, I knew I had to get to know that girl.
Flashback: Age 11 …Logan's P.O.V.
Lizzie and I played in the back seat of my mom's Jag, as we drove to a small town named 'Stars Hollow'. My mom was meeting with a lady named Mia, who wanted my mom to help her redesign her Inn. Since my dad was visiting his parents in Washington, so we had no choice but to go with our mother. Honor my sixteen year old sister was flipping through her fashion magazine.
"Mommy this place looks so beautiful and peaceful. I love it here. The town looks so cute. It's like Disney land without the rides and cartoon characters," Lizzie ranted in delight, as we passed the small but peaceful looking town. To me it just looked dull and boring. I'd have rather go mountain biking or swimming with my two best friends, Colin and Finn.
"It looks boring," I told her.
My mom sent me a glare through the mirror. "Now Logan I know you'd much rather be hanging with your friends, but I thought it would be nice if we came as a family. You never know, you could make a new friend, or worse, actually have a good time in Stars Hollow."
"Oh, come on Logan it will be fun. Maybe they will have a carnival. I heard small towns love carnivals," Honor smiled as she ruffled my hair.
"Yeah Logan come on. You love trying new things," Lizzie gave me a smirk that mimicked my very own.
"Fine," I agreed as all three girls smiled.
"Yay!, Give it up for girl power," Honor squealed as they gave each other high fives. I rolled my eyes as we finally reached destination. 'The Independence Inn'
"Come on, Logan let's go explore," Lizzie said grabbing my hand.
"Lizzie, Logan, not yet. We still need to check in and I don't want you do
going anywhere without your sister," my mom scolded as she got our bags
from the car.
"But Mom we won't go far. We just want to look around." I smirked as my
Mom let out a sigh.
"Mom I can keep a close eye on them while they explore .I'll sit on one of the
lounge chairs and read my fashion magazine," Honor suggested.
"Well all right. But you two stay out of trouble," Shira gave Lizzie and
I a look of warning .Well mostly me because Lizzie is an angel through my mothers eyes.
"Don't worry, Mommy," Lizzie smiles. "I'll keep Logan out of trouble."
"Okay well, I'll be inside. Ask your sister if you need anything," my mom
smiled as she kissed all three of us on the cheek.
"I wonder what's over there," I pondered. "It looks like some kind of a shed."
Lizzie nodded as we walked over to the small shed. A shed with curtains.
"Maybe it's a tree house," she said as we got closer, "It does have curtains.".
"Well there's only one way to find out," I said ready to open the door.
Lizzie hesitated. "Wait Logan, no."
"What?"
"Maybe it's not such a good idea. We would be trespassing," Lizzie noted looking through the windows of the shed. "You know some one could live in there."
"Lizzie, who would live in a potting shed? What gave you that idea?"
"Look there are curtains. and a bed," Lizzie pointed through the glass window. "And even a bathtub."
"Maybe it's a life size doll house for guests. Come on Lizzie where is your sense of adventure," I smiled grabbing her by the arm, about to turn the knob as I hear a voice.
"What do you thing you're doing?"
Lizzie and I turned around only to see a girl about our age. She was sitting in a chair reading a book. She had the most amazing blue eyes I have ever seen. Her brown hair was pulled back in a curly ponytail. My G-d, I was eleven years old and I already had a crush. Well, I guess you can say I had many crushes on the girls at school. But this girl was different, so full of naiveté and innocence. Kind of like Lizzie. Oh man, I had just compared this girl to Lizzie.
"Well my sister and I were just about to go take a look at this wreck of place,' I smirked knowing I would cause a riot from the girl. Lizzie glared at me.
"It's not a wreck," The girl closed her book and picked up her chair in a huff. "Now excuse me while I go somewhere far, far away from you," She scowled at me and went inside.
"Logan, stop being so mean to her. We barely even know her and you're already being a jerk," Lizzie scolded slapping the back of my head. She turned to the girl. "I'm sorry about my brother. He can be a real jerk sometimes. He just likes being the center of attention. My name is Lizzie Huntzberger. What's yours?" Lizzie asked sitting down on a nearby bench.
"Rory," the girl answered as she set her chair down and walked over to where Lizzie was.
"Oh, hi Rory," Lizzie greeted. "So is this your playhouse?"
Rory shifted uncomfortably before she responded. "Yeah, I play in here a lot, me and my best friend. We sometimes have sleepovers in here. Of course my mom stays with us so we don't get scared," Rory ranted nervously.
"See Lizzie I told you know one lived in this crap shack," I noted as I gazed
through the windows.
"Logan, honestly, stop being mean. It's a playhouse not the Taj Mal, what do expect? It's actually looks quite lovely. Besides it's not the outside that counts, it's the inside," Lizzie replied angrily.
"I wasn't expecting the Taj Mal, Lizzie," I rolled my eyes. "I never said I didn't like it. It's actually quite interesting. It just looks old, it could use some paint. Our tree house is so much better. It has everything you need. You just name it and we have it."
"Yeah but our playhouse isn't really a playhouse. It's just a miniature version of our house. This is what I like about this house. The inside has a homey feel to it," Lizzie smiled. "So why don't you stop being mister naysay and give it a chance, huh, we haven't even been inside of it yet. We can only see through the windows."
"Fine. I'll give it a chance. So Rory how about a tour of your pad," Lizzie and Rory both rolled their eyes.
"Sure I would love to give you guys a tour," Rory smiled. "But Logan I want no negative comments whatsoever." It was actually pretty nice, not that I would tell Rory.
"Wow Rory it's really cool. It looks homey just like I said," Lizzie smiled. It looked more like a tool house made in a home.
"So your so-called playhouse used to be a tool house?" I asked.
"Yeah is that a problem, Mister Know-it-all?" Rory asked.
"No. Just saying this place looks pretty cool. It looks girly but nice," I noted.
"Well I' am a girl," Rory answered as she rolled her eyes.
"Really? I had no idea."
"So Rory does your mother own the Inn? I'm only assuming because you have a playhouse on the Inns land," Lizzie asked as Rory shifted her gaze to the ground. I noticed this and it made me think she was hiding something.
"No she doesn't," Rory answered honestly avoiding Lizzie's eyes. All of a sudden I got this weird pang in my stomach. I was starting to feel bad for her and I didn't even know what I was supposed to feel bad about.
"Okay then it's you daddy's? Because you can't just have a playhouse on a property that doesn't even belong to you. My daddy said it's illegal," Lizzie said.
"Uh, my mommy works here," Rory answered her head going down in shame.
"What does she do?" I asked nicely. I didn't think it was a goodtime for my usual self. I could see it in Rory's eyes, which strangely changed colors according to her emotions.
"Uh, she just got elected as the manager of the Inn," Rory answered
"That's cool," Lizzie said. "So I'm guessing you live close by to the Inn?"
"I guess you can say that," Rory answered quietly.
"That's cool so you probably are pretty close to Mia, if she let you have your playhouse here?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah she is like the grandmother I never had," Rory smiled for the first time.
"Logan, Lizzie what are you two doing in here? You two shouldn't be in here. It's trespassing," Honor scolded as she walked through the door of the potting shed.
"It's fine Honor. We know the owner," I smiled glancing at Rory.
"Yeah Honor, our friend Rory owns this playhouse we so-called trespassed," Lizzie said.
"This is not a playhouse. Lorelai Gilmore, the manager of the Inn, and her daughter Rory Gilmore live in here," Honor noted.
"How do you know this Honor?" Lizzie asked out of curiosity. Glancing at Rory I notice as her eyes gazed to the floor and she chewed on her lower lip.
" I was inside for a while and I heard mom and Mia talking. Mia was talking about Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter. On how they felt like the daughter and granddaughter she had never had. So anyway, then I over hearing Mia telling mom where they lived," Honor answered.
"Honor, I'm sure there is more then one potting shed this is Rory's. Oh," Lizzie answered looking at Rory. "So you live here?" Lizzie asked confused.
"Yeah," Rory answered sadly.
"Why did you lie, and say it was your playhouse then?" Lizzie asked.
"Because I didn't want you guys to make fun of me,"
"We wouldn't have made fun of you. I know Logan can be mean sometimes but he wouldn't make fun of you,"
"Really?"
"Yes isn't that right Logan?" Lizzie asked as she turned to me who was sitting by Honor on a nearby bed.
"Yes it's true. You're our friend Rory we wouldn't make fun of you even if you lived in a cardboard box. I mean at least this place has everything you need, even a cozy fireplace," I smiled.
"Thanks Logan," Rory blushed. "But you don't have to say that,"
"I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true," I replied.
"Great, we went from bickering to complementing each other," Rory smiled.
"Is that a problem? I mean if you want I can tell you how your teeth look crooked in the front," I joked as Rory rolled her eyes.
"My teeth are not crooked, loser."
"I know they are perfect," I smirked as Rory blushed again.
"Yeah well yours don't look so bad either."
"Thank you. So if you're Rory Gilmore. Are you any chance related to Emily and Richard?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Yeah. I only see them during the holidays though,"
"Uhh so you're the ace writer your grandparents have been bragging about," I smiled.
"You know my grandparents?"
"Yep. We go to their holiday parties every year."
"Then how come I never see you there?" Rory asked.
"Lizzie and our friends hang out in the pool house. We have our own little party," I answered.
"Oh, no wonder there's always light in the pool house,"
"Yeah this Christmas you should join us. It will be fun and you don't have to be around the boring adults," I suggested.
"I'll think about it," Rory smiled.
"Good,"
"So Rory, you want to be a journalist when you grow up?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah, since I was five," Rory answered.
"That's cool. Logan is going to be a journalist to," Lizzie stated.
"Wow Logan I didn't think you were interested in writing. I didn't even think you knew what you wanted to be yet. Most eleven year olds don't know what they want to do," Rory answered.
"Yeah well it was my assigned job since birth. I'm the Huntzberger heir I have no choice but to work at the paper," I answered sadly.
"I'm sorry," Rory answered.
"That's okay. Journalism can't be that bad. I mean you seem to like it. Your grandparents say you actually written a couple articles for your school. They are really good," I smiled as Rory blushed.
"Thank you Logan,"
"No problem Ace,"
"Ace?"
"Yeah you know Ace reporter,"
"Wow so I get a nickname now. I didn't even know you were smart enough to know what that meant," Rory joked.
"Oh, what my good looks throw you off," I smirked.
"Yes that's it," Rory joked.
"Ahh so you admit it," I smirked.
"Admit what?"
"You think I'm good looking,"
"I didn't say that," Rory blushed.
"Uh huh, and what was that small blush for?"
"I didn't blush!"
"I you say so. So, tell me Ace, is there anything fun to do around here?"
"Well of course there is. Stars Hollow is full of fun things to do," Rory answered
happily.
"Like?"
"There's a carnival tonight. You guys should come. It will be fun," Rory
smiled.
"See Logan I told you there would be a carnival," Honor smiled as she put
her magazine down.
"We will be there," Lizzie smiled. We're here for the weekend then we go back to
Hartford," Lizzie smiled." But will stay in touch,"
"Yeah you and Steph finally have another girl to play dress up with," I
laughed as Lizzie sent me a glare.
"Yeah well, believe it or not Logan two years ago, you, Finn and Colin used to
play it with us. "Well actually Finn still plays it with us. While you and
Colin think your too cool and play video games," Lizzie smiled.
"I was five Lizzie, I didn't know any better," I reasoned.
"Yeah well. At least we have the pictures and the video tapes," Lizzie
laughed.
"I have got to see this," Rory laughed.
"Don't worry you will," Lizzie laughed as I sent Lizzie a glare. "What's
wrong Logan? Afraid your rep will get ruined?" Lizzie and Rory laughed as a
women who assuming to be Rory's mother walked in. the door.
"Hey hun. Who are your friends?" Lorelai asked she set her things down.
"Um this is Lizzie and her brother Logan and that's their older sister
Honor," Rory answered as she pointed to all of us.
"Oh nice to meet you guys. I'm Rory's mother Lorelai. Call me Lorelai, Miss.
Gilmore makes me sound like my mother," Lorelai ranted.
"Nice to meet you Lorelai," Lizzie smiled.
"You too well all of you actually," Lorelai smiled.
"Hey mom is it all right if Logan and Lizzie come to the carnival with us?"
Rory asked.
Sure hun you don't even have to ask," Lorelai smiled giving her daughter a
kiss on the head. "Lane is still coming with us to right?"
"Yeah she is," Rory smiled.
"Okay good. I'm assuming your mother is Shira Huntzberger?" Lorelai asked as
she sat down next to Rory.
"That would be her," I answered.
"She's a really nice lady. Very good decorating skills,'" Lorelai
complemented.
"Thank you I'll be sure to tell my mother that," Honor answered politely."
"Lizzie, Logan we should probably go. We don't want to intrude. Lorelai
Probably wants change or something," Honor said as she stood up.
"No I don't mind," Lorelai answered. "They wouldn't be intruding at all.
That's what a curtain is for," Lorelai smiled.
"Well I'll right well it was nice meeting you Lorelai. I'll tell my mother
what you said she will appreciate it. Lizzie, Logan I'll ask mom about the
carnival for you guys," Honor smiled as she shook Lorelai's hand.
"It was nice meeting you to Honor," Lorelai smiled as they shook hands.
"Your sister seems nice," Rory said as she walked over towards Lizzie and I.
"Yeah she is. She is very protected of us. She's like our second mom,"
Lizzie smiled.
"Yeah she seems like it," Rory replied." Mom what time are we leaving?" Rory
asked.
"Soon. I'll go change and we can leave," Lorelai smiled. "In the meantime,
why don't you go double check with your mom, Lizzie" Lorelai suggested.
"Sure. Come on Logan. Rory do you want to come with us?" Lizzie asked as we
walked to the door.
"Sure mom is that okay?" Rory asked.
"Sure sweets. I'll see you soon," Lorelai answered.
………………………………...
The loud sound of music could be heard in the small town of Stars Hollow.
Laughter sprung in the air as smell of cotton candy and popcorn arose in the
air. In the center of town a bon fire was placed as the town troubadour sang
his music softly.
"Wow this looks so fun," Lizzie squealed in delight as we walk the streets
of Stars Hollow to the carnival.
"Yeah it does," Rory agreed. "Hey there's Lane," Rory smiled as a little
girl about our age came over.
"Hey Lane," Rory greeted as they both hugged.
"Hi Rory, hi Lorelai," Lane smiled as she gave Lorelei a hug as well.
"Hey hun, So your mom let you come this time?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah. But I told her I was going to a bible study across the street instead
of a concert this time," Lane answered as both Lizzie and I exchanged
confused glances.
"Why would you lie to your mom about where you were going?" I asked out of
curiosity.
"Because she doesn't believe in a lot of things. She's very religious," Lane
answered as if it explained it all.
"Oh," I answered not knowing what to say.
"Hi Lane, my name is Lizzie Huntzberger and this is my brother Logan. It's
very nice to meet you. Rory told us so much about you," Lizzie smiled as she
put out her hand.
"Hi Lizzie Logan it's nice to meet you guys as well," Lane smiled shaking
both of our hands.
"Okay kids. I will be over with Sookie if you need anything," Lorelai
smiled.
"Okay Mommy," Rory answered as Lorelai walked off.
"So what are the fun things you usually do at Stars Hollow carnivals?"
Lizzie asked as we walked around.
"Well there are games and good food," Rory answered.
"Okay cool," Lizzie answered as she glanced around the town. "Um Rory who is
that?" Lizzie asked as she gazed at a very weird looking guy. He was
standing behind a stand that said, "Kirks New Beer invention". He looked
really drunk to me. He kind of reminded me of an older version of Finn.
"Oh that's Kirk," Rory laughed. "He just turned twenty-one and now wants to
create a new beer for people," Rory answered.
"Yeah Kirk had to beg Taylor for this stand," Lane laughed remembering the
scene the other day at Dooses where Kirk wouldn't let go of Taylor until he
was able to have his beer stand.
"This town is strange," Lizzie laughed. "But I like it," She finished.
"Yeah it is." Rory agreed.
"You know this Kirk guy kind of reminds me of a older Finn." I noted as I
watched Kirk gulp down five shots.
"Yeah he does," Lizzie laughed as Rory and Lane gave us a confused look.
"Finn is our best friend. He was born in Austria but moved to the states
when he was two. So any way his father owns tons of wineries and beer. He also
makes a lot of it himself and let's Finn taste it. So any way one night on
his father's yacht we were playing truth or dare. Colin our other best
friend had dared Finn to drink a full bottle of whiskey. Finn was never one
to turn down dares especially if they involved alcohol. So next think we
know Finn is doing the slide on the dance floor and singing" I'm coming
out", in the center of the stage," I answered as the girls giggled. Well I
always did have a thing to make girls giggle .
"That's hilarious," Lane laughed as Rory nodded in response.
"Yeah it was," Lizzie agreed. "So Rory tell us more about this crazy town,"
Lizzie smiled.
"Okay sure," Rory smiled. "Okay let's see, the two ladies by the bench over
there are the town gossips. They can spread news around less then five
minutes. Maybe introduce Miss Patty's and Babette's names here, also? Beside the blonde lady is Morey and their cat Cinnamon…."
"Why is he wearing sunglasses. It's dark out?" I wondered gazing at the man
that reminded me of Lurch. From the Adams family.
"Know body really knows the answer to that question," Lane replied.
"He kind of reminds me of Lurch," I noted with a laugh.
"Maybe a little," Rory agreed. "But we shouldn't be making fun of people.
It's not nice,"
"Yeah Logan keep your thoughts to yourself if you have nothing nice to say,"
Lizzie agreed.
"Hey guys look over there at Kirk," Lane pointed. Turning my head I saw Kirk
doing the thriller dance. .In tights?
"That's so funny," Lane laughed. As Kirk started to sing "Girls Just Want to
Have Fun".
"I agree," Rory smiled as we continued to watch Kirk dance.
"I love this town," Lizzie laughed. "It's so amusing and charming,"
"Lizzie I believe this is the third time today that you said this," I noted.
But I couldn't blame her. This town is pretty cool. Like Disney World minus
the rides.
"What's your point Logan," Lizzie asked.
"Nothing," I answered." I actually agree with you. This town is pretty
cool," I agreed.
"Wow Logan I think you took your nice pills this evening. Your not acting
like a but faced misigrant," Rory noted. As Lizzie and Lane let out a laugh.
"I know don't tell anyone it might ruin my reputation," I smirked. "Why but
faced misegrant?" I asked confused.
"Well I thought sense you gave me a nickname I thought you should have one.
So I thought why not but face misegrant, because you can be a real jerk,"
Rory answered.
"Hmm but face misigrent huh? I asked. 'I have a better one who can call me,
Master and Commander," I smirked." You know the movie,"
"Yeah Logan like I would by any chance call you that," Rory smiled as she
rolled her eyes. Lizzie and Lane watched amused.
"Hey it's your loss," I smirked.
"How exactly is it my loss?"
"Well I bet most girls would die to call me their Master and Commander," I
smiled.
"Eww Logan your gross," Rory answered disgusted. "Besides who would call you
that, Alyssa Milano," Rory smiled as Lizzie laughed.
"Logan has a crush on Alyssa Milano," Lizzie laughed. As I sent her a glare.
"You would have a crush on her," Rory laughed.
"How exactly do you know ace?" I asked amused.
"You just seemed like the boy who would have a crush on her," Rory stated.
"Well I guess you guessed right then," I answered. "I'm still concerned of
you stalking me," I joked as Rory rolled her eyes.
"Why would I stalk you," Rory asked. "I have better things to do then stalk
you around all day. Rory answered as Lorelai and a lady I'm assuming Sookie
came over to us.
"Hey kids are you guys having fun?" Lorelai asked as Lorelai and Sookie
walked over to us.
"Yeah we are," Rory answered. "Hi Sookie," Rory greeted.
"Hi honey how are you doing?" Sookie asked.
"I'm good. Sookie I would like you to meet my friends Lizzie and Logan
Huntzberger," Rory introduced.
"Oh hi you two. Your mom told me so much about you," Sookie smiled.
"Yeah well she does that," Laughed. "It's very nice to meet you Sookie. Rory
told me you were the worlds greatest chef?" Lizzie asked.
"Well I wouldn't say best," Sookie blushed.
"Sookie your food is awesome of course your food is the best," Lane noted.
"One of the best chefs of the state," Lorelai agreed. "Oh my god is that
Kirk," Lorelai gasped as we saw Kirk climbing the Gazebo.
"Good Evening Stars Hollow," Kirk screamed. "I will know proceed to sing you
guys a song, "Rock a bye hollow on the tree top. Where the stars go the
hollow will go…,"
"Kirk is weird but funny," Lizzie watched amused.
"Yeah he is," Lorelai agreed.
"Kirk get down from there," a big guy yelled to a drunk Kirk.
"No I'm making a statement," Kirk yelled.
"What kind of statement Kirk," a lady with black pigtails asked.
"That if bird are aloud on the Gazebo people are too," Kirk answered as the
carnival music turned off and the people gathered by the gazebo.
"Come on Kirk your disrupting the carnival. No get your drunk but down here
and let's get you home," The man suggested as he put a latter over to where
Kirk was standing on top of the gazebo.
"No not until I make my statement," Kirk replied as he started to dance and
sing again.
"Who's the big guy?" I asked.
"Oh that's Taylor the town selectman he also owns Doose's Market," Rory
answered.
"Oh okay," I replied.
"Kirk can be very unpredictable. Rory explained.
"Yeah like that time he wore a dress for a week," Lane agreed. "He claimed
that if girls can wear dresses so can he," Lane laughed.
"Okay then, Lizzie laughed. As Taylor spoke up again.
"Kirk I mean it get down from there," Taylor yelled as Kirk continued to
sing. "Don't make me call your mom," Taylor threatened.
"Does Kirk still live with his mother?' I asked.
"Yes," Lorelai answered. As we turned our attention back to Kirk.
"No you will not," Kirk stutters as he lost his balance. He the fell to the
ground. The town was silent. "I'm okay I'm Okay," Kirk yelled then passed
out as the town cheered.
"That was awesome," Lizzie laughed amused. As a guy with a backward baseball
cap picked up Kirk and carried him across town. Taylor then spoke.
"Okay everybody sorry for the disruption. Go back to what you were doing.
The Maze is opened but you must partner up by twos," Taylor explained as the
music started to play again.
"We should go in the maze," Lizzie suggested.
"Yeah we should," Lane agreed. To bad we all can't go together though," Lane
pouted.
"Yeah that's sucks," Rory replied.
………………………………...
"Remind me how I got partnered with you again?" Rory asked as they walked
through the dark maze. The clouds got darker and the wind blew heavier.
"Uh the wonders of rock, paper, scissors and shoot," I answered.
"Right," Rory answered. "So you and Lizzie live in Hartford right?"
"That would be correct," I answered.
"What about your other friends do they live close bye?"
"Yep we are neighbors,"
"That's cool so you guys always have someone to hang out with?"
"Yeah I guess you can say that," I replied.
"It's freezing out here," Rory shivered. Quickly taking off my jacket I put
it around her arms. She smiled. "Logan I don't want you to get cold," Rory
blushed.
"Don't worry about it. I will be fine," I smirked.
"Okay well thank you," Rory blushed.
"No problem ace," I smirked. "So Rory why don't you live in a house if your
Grandparents are Emily and Richard?" I asked carefully. "You don't have to
tell me if you don't want to. I'm just curious,"
"No its okay. I'll tell you," she smiled as I put an arm around her trying
to keep us both warm. "Well my mom got pregnant with me when she was
sixteen. She never got along with her parents. She didn't want to live the
life she at been living. So when I turned one we ran away. We ended up here
in Stars Hollow. My mom got a job here as a maid and as you know she worked
her way to the top. She is now the manager of the Inn," Rory said all in one
breath.
"What about your dad?' I asked.
"He's in California working. We talk once a week though," Rory answered. "As
for my grandparents I only see them on the holidays," Rory answered sadly.
"I'm sorry,"
"Don't be. I'm happy with the life I'm living," Rory smiled. "So now that I
shared part of my life its time for you to share yours," Rory smirked. I
sent out a groan.
"Well let's see now a days my dad stays at the office more then he is home.
My mom is busy with her career and Honor watched us most of the time and
Lizzie well..,"
"What's wrong with Lizzie?"
"She um well..,"
"Logan you can tell me. I won't tell anyone, Rory reassured.
"Well Lizzie has cancer. We just found out a couple of weeks ago. That's the
reason my dad has been away and is in denial. My mom doesn't want to believe
it either . So she busies her self in work as well," I answered sadly.
"Oh Logan that's horrible, I'm sorry, Rory answered sadly as tears formed in
the corners of her eyes. "Lizzie doesn't seem like she's sick?"
"Yeah well we just found out. So Lizzie hasn't hit the big part yet. She
starts chemo therapy in a week,"
"That's sad. But why doesn't Lizzie seem sad. She's always happy?" Rory
asked.
"She's trying to stay positive and enjoy life as it comes," I smiled.
"Your sister has strength," Rory smiled. What does Honor think?" Rory asked.
"She's very protective of her. Always making sure she is okay," I answered.
That's really heart breaking," Rory cried. I quietly pulled her in my arms.
………………………………...
Even then I could feel the sparks that we shared. Little did we know.
Lorelai had seen us hugging and took a picture. That picture lies on our
mantle today. I will always cherish that day in my heart. Because that's the
day my life changed forever.
