Never Again Chapter 2: Lips Of An Angel, a gilmore girls fanfic

Title : Lips Of An Angel

A/N : I hope you enjoy the story. It was going to be a oneshot about this song but I was listening to "Face Down" while writting so it kinda came out way off track and developed into this story. ( I'm working on a similiar story to this for One Tree Hill. I won't put that one out for awhile though because I don't have as much wrote on it. ) Enjoy.

Reveiws help me to stay encouraged and if their critisism they help me to better myself and my stories.

-Lips Of An Angel-

Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

Honey why you calling me so late?

"Hello?" The sleep filled voice of the Australian was enough to make Rory start crying. She hadn't meant to call him but she needed to hear his voice. It had been too long since they talked. Almost year to be excact.

"I'm sorry Finn. I shouldn't have called." She tried to hide the shakiness in her voice. Normally it would fool Logan but Finn always paid extra close attention to her.

Finn slipped out of bed and walked into the living room, careful to not wake up his girlfriend. Yes the player Finn had a girlfriend. She was a pretty redhead with sparkling green eyes. She was very outgoing. She was nothing like Rory. Maybe that was why Finn stayed with her. He knew he wouldn't fall in love with her because she wasn't like Rory. And if he didn't fall in love with her than he wouldn't be hurt. "What's wrong love?"

"I just needed to hear your voice again. I'm sorry I called you so late." Truth was it wasn't really that late. It was only about ten at night. Though it was late enough for Logan to be drunk. His voice could be heard through the phone yelling at Lily. Finn's heart broke at the sound of the little girl crying. His little girl. He wanted to be there for her so bad but Logan was her father not him. Rory told him that. DNA didn't matter in the case. Logan was the one raising her not him. He never pushed the issue. He didn't want to end up hurting Lily in the end. He loved that little girl more than anything and didn't want her to get hurt. It was killing him to hear her crying.

"I have ot be quiet. Samantha's in bed." He looked up to make sure she was still asleep. She wouldn't care that he was talking to Rory. He just didn't want to disturb her. Or maybe he didn't want to lie to her. He wasn't sure. He cared about her enough to not want to hurt her for no real reason. Although loving Rory was a real reason but he knew it didn't matter. Rory was with Logan and she would never change her mind about that. She was stubborn. And she wasn't on speaking terms with her mother. She hadn't been in a long time. She ended up doing excatly what Lorelai didn't want her to do. She was going to be like her grandmother. Although Rory still took Lily to see Lorelai. Logan took her most times though. It was easier on Rory. "It's good to hear your voice. How's Logan and Lily?" What he really wanted to ask was how was Logan treating Lily. He didn't want to piss her off though.

She sighed and pushed her hair out of her face. "Logan's fine I suppose." Truth was they didn't speak much anymore. He was too busy running his father's business and she was too busy with DAR meetings and planning buisness parties for Logan for them to talk. It worked out fine for them though.

Finn stood up and walked into his kitchen. He grabbed some apple juice and a glass. He stopped drinking when he found out about Lily. He had a drink every now and then but it was only on special occasions. "What about Lily love?"

Finn could hear Rory crying again. "He knows she isn't his." Rory had tried to convince him that she was his but he figured it out as she got older. She didn't look him and she didn't favor her mother as much as she should have.

Finn sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Does he know your talking to me?" He sat down on one of the stools in his kitchen. He picked up the picture sitting on the counter. It was a picture of Rory and Lily. Lily was three in the picture and clung to Rory. Both of them had big smiles on their faces. It looked some sort of charity event that the DAR throws every year. Logan was no where around in the picture.

"Yeah, he knows." Rory visibly cringed as she heard Logan yelling at Lily some more. At least he wasn't hitting either of them tonight. She could deal with the yelling as long as he wasn't hitting.

"Will it start a fight?" He was worried about Rory and Lily. Logan had become violent since Rory had Lily. Luckily it was never serious. At least not towards Lily that he knew of. He knew Rory would never tell him if he hit her though.

"Probably." She wiped away her tears. She was always fighting with Logan. It didn't matter anymore to her. She stopped trying to avoid fights a while ago. "Does she know?"

"I don't think she has a clue." Finn traced his finger over the outline of his daughter in the picture. "I really wish she was you. I never really moved on." He wanted them to be a family. He always had. He even tried to convince her to leave Logan. He said he would take her to Austraila if it would make her feel safer but she refused. She claimed she loved Logan and that their affair had meant nothing to her. He knew she was lying but he didn't push it. He would let her learn the hard way.

"I wish it was me too." Rory picked up the most recent picture taken of Lily. It was a picture of her at Lorelai's. Her hair was in pig tails and she was in a yellow sun dress. The yellow was a good color against her tanned looking skin. She reminded Rory so much of Finn. "She's so much like you. I really wish you could see her."

He was quiet for awhile before finally responding. "I could."

"How?" The hope was evident in her voice. She wanted to let Lily meet Finn. She wanted Lily to like Finn. She wanted this so that she could give Lily to Finn until she got of this mess with Logan. It was no longer a relationship. Now it was all a game of survival.

"I can meet you in Stars Hallow, at you're mother's house." Finn knew Rory and Lorelai weren't speaking. He went to visit Lorelai every week. Lorelai missed Rory but she wouldn't cave in. The only reason she didn't completely shut Rory out was for Lily's sake.

"What would Logan say if he found out?" Finn sighed. He knew she was talking about their affair not him seeing Lily.

"I don't know love. I really don't know." Truth was he wished Logan would find out sometimes but then he would hope he never found out. He was scared of what Logan would do to Lily if he found out he belonged to one of his best friends. Or someone who was suppose to be his best friend.

"I don't want him to take it out on her." She started to cry again. Most people would ask her why she didn't just leave but she couldn't. It wasn't that simple. She had no job and she had Lily to think about. She truely believed her mom wouldn't take her in. Lily walked into the room and crawled into her lap crying.

It sounded like Rory put her hand over the phone to muffle the yelling.

"Do something with the brat, she won't shut up!"

"She's four! What the hell do you want her to do?!"

"To stop crying os damn much! It's hard to concentrate on anything!"

"Finn I have to go." Before he could protest her heard her yelling. "Maybe you should stop fucking yelling at her so damn much!" He heard what sounded like skin on skin contact. Then he heard Lily scream in fear and then the line went dead.

He dropped his phone and ran into his room. He quickly got dressed and grabbed his car keys. He picked his phone back up so he could call Lorelai on the way. He ran out of his apartment and got into his black SUV and sped off in the direction of Rory and Logan's apartment.

-NA-

Finn rushed into the apartment when he found it unlocked after he didn't get an answer from pounding on the door. "Rory?!" He carefully made his way through the kitchen into the living room where he found Lily. He walked over to her and knelt down beside her. "Lily is Logan here?" Lily shook her head. "Where's your mommy?" Lily pointed to a bedroomd oor then held her arms up to him. He picked her up and held her close. She seemed to know who he was. He figured it was thanks to Lorelai. She spent a lot of time there. He was sure Lorelai had explained him to her the best she could.

He walked over to the door and adjusted Lily so that she couldn't see into the room before opening the door. A key could be heard entering the lock to the apartment even though it wasn't needed. Lorelai's concerned voice could be heard calling Rory and Lily's names next. Finn opened the door and gasped at what he saw. He was glad that Lily couldn't see as his breath caught in his throat at the sight of Rory. She was bleeding from the right side of her head. His only thought was that she could be dead.
