Rory and Lorali had a really good time on the weekend, they caught up, cried, laughed, and talked a lot. At the end of the weekend Rory felt she and her mother somehow bonded more if that was possible, after all they were going through a similar situation. All throughout the weekend Rory would get sick of the smell of coffee she couldn't figure it out, and to make matters worse, she had a huge paper to do, and was practically falling asleep. Rory's mood lightned up a bit at the sound of Logans voice... on the answering machine.

"Hey, Ace I phoned you earlier, but you were out. The paper is very busy and the newspaper? well lets just say it's really new, construction has not even been finished and my father can't even wait to ship me out here! Logan laughs... anyways ill try phone you tommorrow, I hope you are doing alright, and remember you can use my card on whatever you want ok? buy a dozen elephants if it will make you happy! Love you! Ace.. Beep

Rory was so exhausted she fell into bed, and for once didn't care wethar she finished the paper or not.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Rory's alarm went off at 10:00 the next morning, Rory thought she had set the clock to 6:00 enough time to finish her paper, and have a long hot shower, it was then she realized she forgot to set it, and it went off the same time it went off on saturday!

Oh my gosh I am hours late for class, and I have a exam today and that paper to hand in, and oh no! the seminar with paris! she is going to kill me if I don't go!

Rory was running around the apartment trying to gather up everything when she eventually gave up hope, it would look horrible if she walked in late, she could get most of the work from Paris, but with the seminar they were planning to go to, Paris would not be happy she had been talking about it for months. Rory had so much to do she could not think straight!

Ok If I phone Logan I can go from there. She reached logans answering machine, and left a message:

"Hey, Logan it's me Rory, nothing new here! Yale has been keeping me pretty busy, I went to my mothers last weekend, that's why you didn't catch me, sounds like things are starting off well at the newspaper office, and on that note I will go, you are probably really busy. Talk to you later! Love you! ...Beep

Over the next week Rory and Logan exchanged news:

"Ace, I have bad news, I can not come home this weekend, I know I was really looking forward to it to, but my father said if I work hard for the next 2 weeks I can have May long weekend off, Love you Ace".

On Thursday Rory phoned Logan and actually got to talk to him:

"Hi Logan it's me Rory".

"Hey, Ace! I can't talk right now can you phone back later?"

This was when Rory lost it, for a 2 weeks she had been playing this game and she was sick of it, she felt she had to control over her life.

"Well then I guess you won't be expecting my phone calls anymore, if I am such a burden to you I will just leave, Logan I can't do this anymore everytime you say you are coming home you have some unexpected buisseness, I don't want to wait anymore,

"Ace, why are you being like this? I let you stay in my place have access to everything, I am trying hard to make this work, but you have to try to".

"Well I don't want to try anymore". And she hung up the phone throwing it across the room, in her anger she ran out of the apartmant, without her coat, despite the rain, and ran for her car, she didn;t know were she was going, but she didn't care, she just went were the road took her.
