Chapter 3
LOGAN
"What did I just do? What's wrong with me?". He says to himself.
You like her you idiot! He thought to himself, but he couldn't believe he just said it like that. I was supposed to do it slowly, rationally, sweep her off her feet. Show her what she means to me, how special she is. Now everything's gone down the drain. Reaching his apartment he opens the door to his dorm and ignores Finn and Colin's greetings, walks straight into his room and lays down on his bed. What am I gonna do now.
Finn and Colin stare at Logan's door baffled. Look at each other and then back at Logan's door.
"Yeah- let me know how that works out." Finn says pointing to Logan's door and heading towards the door to leave.
"Oooh no! You are not leaving me here with this mess!" Colin replies. "Come on" He grabs Finn by the collar of his shirt and drags him.
"Wait mate! What if he doesn't want to talk about it? Huh?! what if he needs some time to clear his head? We don't even know whats going on and we shouldn't just barge in until we are absolutely sure." Nodding his head for effect.
" I'm pretty sure I know what this is about and I know that if you think real hard you will too." Colin states.
" What? Reporter girl? You think she finally got wise and moved on?"
"I don't know lets find out." Gesturing towards Logan's door.
They started to walk towards it when they hear a mad groan and then something get thrown at the door making a huge banging noise. Colin and Finn stop in their tracks.
"Or we can go to the pub, get a few drinks in us, and let Logan come to us." Colin suggests
walking to the door.
"Right behind ya mate." Finn said grabbing his jacket and slamming the door behind them.
RORY
Rory laying on her bed smiling, thinking to herself. So he really does want to be with me. She cant stop smiling or stop the giggle that rises from inside her.
Just then she hears someone knock on the door and finds Caitlin on the other side. Rory reaches up real quick and hugs her hard.
"Oh so are we this close already?" Caitlin asked.
"Shut up! It's a thank you, for your advice, but i didn't really use it."
"You didn't?" Caitlin replies.
Nope I didn't really need it, seeing as he already wants to be with me."
"What! So you told him?"
"No we were talking about one of his friends and it led to me talking about my exes and I said why would you want to know about them and he blurted out that if we were gonna be together then he wanted to know about them."
"Wow, so what happened after that? You told him you loved him and wanted to be with him too and then you guys spent an hour making kissy noises on the phone to each other?" Caitling states sarcastically.
"No! You know what, my mom and you would definitely get along , your are just her kind of people."
"Yeah well, I don't really know her at all but I'll take that as a compliment."
"You should."
"But you missy never answered my question. So come on, give me all the romantic details. What did you say?"
"Nothing, I freaked out I mean I was shell shocked and then he sort of just said goodbye and said he'd call me later and then we hung up, but I mean he knows me its not like he thinks that I don't feel the same way"
Rory looks at Caitlin's face and promptly starts to panic.
"Oh my god! Do you think that because i didn't say it back he thinks that I don't want to be his girlfriend."
"I dont know Rory but honestly that's sort of how I would take it."
"NO NO NO! I need to call him and make sure he's okay. I need to tell him I feel the same way." She picks up her phone and starts to dial his number.
Then chickens out and stops.
"What if he didn't mean to say it, Caitlin what if it was just a slip of the tongue and he regrets all of it and never wants to see me again?"
"I'm sure its not like that!"
Mortified. "Uh! i should just kill myself, end it right here right now. Why does all this love stuff have to be so confusing?"
She then falls onto to couch as Paris walks in. Paris looks at Caitlin and then looks back at Rory.
And she told me I had to be on my best behavior tonight. Paris thinks to herself.
She then puts her hand out towards Caitlin. "Paris Gellar, you must be Caitlin?"
"Yeah thats me, I know we just met but I was thinking we should skip movie night and get a few drinks in us."
"I dont know. Im not really the drink party type of girl" Paris said.
"Oh come on Paris, this would be the perfect time to broaden your horizon. Besides I think that Rory could definitely use a drink."
Paris looks over at Rory groaning to herself with a couch pillow covering her head. She feels bad for her so she agrees.
"Alright i guess a few drinks wouldn't hurt."
With that they grab their jackets and head off towards the Pub.
COLIN AND FINN
Colin and Finn were already at the Pub drinking and surrounded by girls, red heads and blonds, all airheads and laughing. When they notice the door opening and a certain person walking in. It was Rory and Paris and a girl was with them.
"Well, well, well So Logans at home moping and reporter girls at the bar drinking and having a good time, maybe he wasn't upset about Rory mate?" Finn said.
"Well then why dont we get him down here then?"
"Yeah lets." Finn said and dialed Logans number.
"Hello." Logan answers sounding all groggy.
"What the hell are you doing moping around and throwing things at us when the beautiful girl you've been chasing is at the Pub drinking and having fun?"
"Rory's at the bar?" Logan asks.
"Okay the fact that you know who im talking about instantly tells me we need to have a serious talk, but yeah Rory's here with her friends where the hell are you?"
"Im getting dressed Ill be there in a little bit." Logan said getting up from his bed and getting ready.
"Allright!" Finn hung up and both he and Collin started looking back at Rory and her friends.
"I know that girl mate." Finn telling Colin.
"Of course you do thats Rory- ya know reporter girl as you like to call her."
"No not her the other one."
"Who Rory's roomate Paris."
"Ok will you just bloody shut up and look at the girl to the left of reporter girl and tell me where I know her from. Was it a one night stand or something."
Colin looks up and see's who Finns talking about. He can't believe it.
"No Finn you didnt hook up with her."
"Well then where do I know her from and more importantly why the bloody hell not shes hot!?"
"Because Logan would've killed you!"
Colin stares at the girl in shock at first Finn doesnt't understand so he takes a deeper look at her again and after a few seconds he realizes what Colin was talking about.
"Maybe we should call him?" Collin asked.
"Maybe we should just get him a bunch of drinks seeing as he's already here."
They see Logan walking up to them and he started to say his hello's. Finn got up and doesn't say anything to Logan just points to his glass of liquor.
"Im gonna go get you something stronger.."
Logan looks confused and asks Colin "What was that about?"
Colin doesn't say anything just plays dumb nods his head and shrugs his shoulders. Turns to Logan and says...
"So you need a drink." And promptly heads for the bar.
Logan baffled at why his friends left him high and dry starts to look for Rory and sees her. Rory shes so beautiful, and smart and perfect why does it scare me so much to be with her. Just then someone says hi to him and it's a girl from his English class. Trying to be polite he starts to talk to her. Not realizing that Rory see's him talking with the blond and comes to the wrong conclusion and instantly gets sad and asks the others if they wanna leave.
"Why? What's wrong?" Asks Caitlin.
"He's here, with someone else, he obviously doesn't feel anything."
"Oh sweety Im sorry lets go" Caitlin leans over and tells Paris their leaving and Paris quickly gets up and yells.
"Its about damn time!"
Rory and Caitlin laugh at her and follow her out Rory quickly glances back once more to look at Logan and leaves with a couple of tears down her face. Why does everything have to be so hard?
Logan finishes talking to the girl and after declining her offer to have a few more drinks looks for Rory again. He notices she's gone. She must have gotten the wrong idea. Cursing to himself.
"How could I be so stupid?"
"What do you mean?" Colin asked worried that he saw her.
"Rory left."
"Rory?"
"Yeah Rory Colin who else would I have been talking about? We both know that you know I like her alright I cant stop thinking about her but everytime I work up the courage to make a move I do something stupid and mess it up. She's driving me crazy shes turning me into something that im not she's turning me into her, her----"
Colins cuts him off "her boyfriend".
Logan just nods his head.
"If you like her Logan get over whatever hang ups you have and be with her because I gotta tell ya you've been driving me finn and stephanie crazy for months now."
Logan just looks at his friend and says thanks and runs out of the bar. He wants to reach Rory's dorm as fast as he can, but when he gets there he stops not wanting to disturb Paris. Cause he knows how she gets this time at night when someone knocks on the door. H finally decides to text message Rory.
Meet me at your tree.
xoxo
And waits for her reply. 20 minutes pass and still no word he starts to walk away disappointed when his phone vibrates letting him know he's got a new msg. He clicks on it trying not to get his hopes up to high and reads the msg.
Sure
Logan smiles to himself and starts to run he's got t to pick something up before meeting Rory.
