Her Savior

Chapter 2

One Week Later

Rory was in the kitchen getting coffee started to pour a cup before heading to class for the day. When her cell phone rang, She grabbed it form her bag and answered it

"Rory Gilmore speaking"

"Miss Gilmore good morning this is District Attorney Brown I wanted to let you know that we have decided what charges Mr. Williamson will face in your rape case .We have decided to charge him with 2nd degree rape. Because we can prove that, he forced himself on you after he intoxicated you and that you had no bearings about what was happing to you at the time.

"But what about the drugs he slipped in my drink?"

"We could not find a trace of the drugs in your system so we will be unable to charge him with use of an controlled substance. I'm sorry Miss Gilmore."

"Did you look at the medical report its right in there"

"No I did It had you blood alcohol level but there were no other substances in your system."

"How can you over look that fact?"

"Their no proof"

.

"But I could barely understand what was going on that night, he drugged me, violated me."

"You were drunk Miss Gilmore"

"I had one drink and then blacked out"

"Some drugs are very fast acting and work there way out of your system quickly trust me I know it's my job, He could have he use a new designer drug that works fast and leaves your system quickly. Again, I am sorry that we couldn't charge him with this. Have a good day Miss Gilmore."

Right after Rory hung up the phone she was in complete shock that Robert was getting off so easy as if on autopilot she dialed Logan's number and waited for him to answer. Logan answered on the second ring.

"Logan can you come over? I need you"

"Yeah, Ace I'll be right over."

With that, Rory hung up, crumbled to the floor, and began to sob for what was happening in her life. Logan arrives ten minutes later to her dorm and knocks but gotno response. So he slowly open's the door.

"Ace?"

"Ace, Rory?"

What he sees breaks his heart; she's in a heap in the middle of the living room floor. He rushes over to her

"Rory, sweetheart are you ok?" he asked kneeling down beside her. She moves but only to cling to him. And sobs again.

"Baby? You got to tell me what's wrong." He said stroking her soft brown hair.

"The DA called"

"Oh, what did he say?" Logan asked having a feeling the news would not be good.

"Their only charging him with the rape in the 2nd degree not for the drugs he used because that wasn't in the medical report they got from the hospital" She sobbed into Logan's chest.

"Rory he WILL got to jail or I'll..." He trailed off muttering a threat.

"I know he will but I wanted him gone for life not just years!"

"I know, I know." He said before kissing her on the forehead.

"Why is this happening to me Logan, what did I do wrong?" She asked looking into his big brown eyes for answers.

"Logan felt like crying when she said this. " Rory listen to me, you did NOTHING wrong this is Roberts doing not yours!" He said very forcefully.

"I just want to forget it ever happened, to be like I was before. I was happy I was." She said as if he did not believe her.

"I know." He whispered

Again, he embraced her and let her cry. After Rory had clamed down a little bit Logan offers a suggestion.

"Ace you want get out of here for a while away from this?"

"Yeah"

"Okay let's go for a walk on campus just to clear our heads?" He suggested giving her a comforting smile.

"Sounds good"

Logan helped her up got her jacket and off they went. They walked around in the cool night air. Logan had his arm around her waist to make her feel safe and comfortable. The stopped at the opening of the campus where there was a bench under one of Rory's favorite trees and just sat and looked up at the night stars in peacefulness and happinessfor the moment anyway.

Rory began to shiver after about ten minutes Logan rubbed his arms up and down hers to get her warm but that did not work he decided they needed to head back to her dorm. As Rory and Logan were walking back to Rory's dorm, Colin and Finn spotted them and followed them because they were curious why Logan had been spending so much time with 'Reporter Girl'.

"Logan. If he gets off, I'm leaving Yale." She confessed as they walked through the courtyard.

Logan sighed "Rory don't let him do this to you, don't let him take away all they you've worked so hard to achieve." He said trying to reason with her.

"YOU. DON'T. UNDERSTAND!" She yelled causing Logan, Colin and Finn to jump.

"Then tell me Ror what don't I get?" He hissed

Rory shook her head, "Logan when he rap-ed me he didn't just violate me he ... I think he broke me." She told him in tears.

"Raped!" Colin and Finn echoed a little to loudly because Logan and Rory spun around.

"OH MY GOD!" Rory screamed before running off in the direction of her dorm.

"Rory!" Logan called after her, when he received no response he turned to Colin and Finn. "What the fuck were you two doing?"

"Mate we...we didn't know." Finn told him still in shock of what he had just heard.

"Logan really we didn't, we just wanted to know where you've been disappearing to with Rep....Rory." Colin explained.

Logan nodded "Ok." he sighed "Come on guys." he said as he started to walk to Rory's dorm. As they arrived Logan noticed Rory's bedroom door closed he was at a loss of how to help her. For the millionth time since that night, Logan asked himself why her? He had yet to come up with an answer.

"Logan what's going on?"

"Colin I wish I could tell you but that's for Rory to tell you if she decides too. It's not my choice I'm sorry"

Just as he finished speaking they heard the bedroom door open and Rory emerged.

"I guess Logan told you guys." She scoffed we she shot Logan a glare, oh if looks could kill.

"No, love, he said it was up to you whether or not to tell us." Finn told her.

"Oh." Rory said in surprised

"Will you tell us?" Colin asked hesitantly.

Rory looked to Logan and he gave her a reassuring smile. "Yes." She said in a small voice, she motioned for them to sit and they did, Logan, Colin and Finn sat on the couch. Well Rory took a seat on the love seat. "You guys remember when I went to Finn's party with Robert?" She asked

"Yes..." Colin replied unsure of where this was going.

"Well..." And she told her story and the guys were pissed, they liked Rory she was sweet and was never a bitch to them like Logan's other er...friends.

Colin shook his head as she finished "Sick bastard." Colin seethed

"Bloody hell, I need a drink." Finn said in shock.

After tell them the tension between all of them eased and Colin and Finn's protective nature kicked in like Logan's.

"So you said the DA called you this morning and told their only charging him with 2nd degree rape right?"

"Right"

"So when are they going to officially arrest him and file the charges in court?"

"Tomorrow or so I was told"

Just then Finn spoke up

"OK Mates then we need to coordinate how to keep Rory away from the press because she just doesn't need to deal with it"

"We agree" Logan and Colin said in unison

"So what's the plan?"

Logan looked at them "She could stay at our dorm"

"Not a good idea mate that's the first place they'll look because you have been photographed together "

"Right"

"There is also Steph's " Colin said

Rory finally spoke up after they talked around her for awhile

"That seems like the only possible option but I am dreading telling her worse then I was you guys she's like my sister"

"It's going to be ok she'll understand what's going on after we explain"

So the plan was set to keep Rory safe from the onslaught of media to come they just hoped it worked.
