Her First Love

First Editions


She ran out of the pub, not believing who she had just seen. The tears overflowed and she couldn't see. She leaned against the building and slid to the ground, holding her knees to her chest. Suddenly, she heard a concerned, female voice.

"Rory, Rory are you okay?" It was Paris.

Rory didn't answer, she just cried harder.

"Rory, calm down. Now, I want you to answer me; what happened?"

All she could say was "He's in there."

Suddenly, Logan Huntzburger ran out of the pub, his friends followed. He looked around before he spotted her. His face held the same look of confusement and pain. Paris was shocked. No wonder Rory was distraught. It took her over a year to stop crying over him, and now, here he was. Logan made a movement towards Rory.

"Don't even think about it Huntzburger."

"Paris, come on."

"No."

"Paris!"

Rory just sat there, watching the two of them.

"You know what you did. Sure, it was two years ago, but it still hurt my best friend. I had to watch her cry, I had to watch her suffer, and I had to watch her wonder why she wasn't good enough. And now, you want to just waltz back into her life? It was your choice to leave in the first place, hell, you didn't even tell her you were leaving. Do you know how she found out? Your parents told her."

Logan had not bothered to tell that part to his friends. The only information they got out of him was that he loved her, and that he made a huge mistake; they just never found out what it was. They all turned to look at where Rory was sitting, and found she wasn't there.


Logan looked for her, he looked everywhere logical. In the library, at the coffee cart, he even risked the wrath of Doyle and looked in the newsroom. She wasn't anywhere. He decided to go back to his dorm, where he found Finn, Colin, and Stephanie waiting for him. Stephanie looked a little angry.

"You want to explain?" Colin didn't look very amused.

"No."

"Well, too bad, because you don't have a choice." Now, Stephanie looked pissed

She started in on him

"So, let me get this straight. You find a girl that you claim to love and then just leave her without telling her? How is that love?"

"What's wrong with you?" Logan was getting a little angry with her.

"She's my friend Logan! She's one of us. A Gilmore and a Hayden, you knew you were going to run in to her sometime. If it hadn't been today, it would have been in classes, or at the LDB."

Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door, and without answering it, it swung open. Unexpectedly, Paris Gellar walked into the room. Finn sat up straighter.

"I would just like to let you know that thanks to you my best friend is nowhere to be found."

"You still can't find her?' he was worried.

"Oh, I found her. She was in the library, the one on the other side of campus that has all the first edition-."

"Charles Dickens." His friends shot him a look.

"Right. Anyway, thanks to you, you left the girl that I got two years ago. Don't be surprised if she graduates next year, with all the extra classes she's going to take."

"Paris, what happened after I left?"

"She cried for a while. Then, all she did was school. The girl had no social life, you really messed her up. Graduated Valedictorian, and now she's here."

She turned around to walk out of the dorm room when Logan's hurt voice rang out again.

"Has she-?"

"No, she hasn't dated anyone else."

"So she's still a-?"

"Yes."

That made him feel better; that no one else had kissed her since. He remembered the day that he went to tell her. He got to her house in Stars Hollow, and was prepared to let it out, but he couldn't. She had looked so beautiful and happy and knew that he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he told her he was leaving her. What was he going to do? Say that he was going back to Switzerland because he made a pact with his best friends and that he wanted her to wait for him? Yes.

"Can I ask you something?"

He suddenly remembered Paris was still there.

"Sure."

"Did DuGrey know you were leaving?"

"Yes, Tristan knew."

She turned to leave again, but decided against it.

"She would have waited for you, you know."

He looked up at her with a hopeful look in his eyes. Even though it wouldn't change anything, even though he left, he needed to know.

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

This time, she made it to the door before she was interrupted.

"Wait," it was Stephanie. "I'm coming with you."


Is that a cliffhanger? I know it seems like there is no way they will get together, but they will. I don't know how, but they will. Thanks so much for all the reviews. In case it wasn't obvious, Rory is a virgin. I will update as soon as I can! I'm sorry it's short, I will try to make the next one longer.
