LOGAN

Calling out your name
Your face is everywhere
I'm reaching out to you
To find that you're not there
I wake up every night
To see the state I'm in
It's like an endless fight
I never seem to win

"Want to put money on who the Queel nails tonight" Rory asked me as we were sitting on the couch during my going-away party, "I think her Highness is pretty safe tonight" I told her with a smile "why? I thought Jenny and Paul broke up?" she asked confused. "They got back together this morning" I filled her in, "Do the boys know" Rory asked, "Nope" I replied "Oh, wow .. watching your best friends waste precious scoring moments. You can get kicked out of the club for that" Rory joked, "yeah well you know I've given a lot of great parties in my lifetime" I told her, "Oh I know" Rory clarified "But I do believe that this one has topped them all" I told my girlfriend with a grin "hey its not over yet, we have hours to go , there's plenty of beer left and no one's slugged Finn yet so.." she said with a grin, "Thank-you" I whispered "My pleasure .. you want more beer" she asked, "No" I said "More Twiglets, Cadbury's?" she tried again, grinning at me "I'm good" I answered, "Do you want to try fruit again? Because I think my cramp has gone away" she offered, I looked at her "tell me not to go" I blurted out, "What" she asked softly "tell me not to get on that plane ... Tell me to blow off my father, the paper, the whole Huntzberger destinty. Just tell me I can figure something else out, just tell me not to go" I begged her, "Well I can't do that" she said sadly, the playfully mood quickly dissapearing, I pulled her so close to me, "hey ... you're afraid the teacher's going to see you, or something?" I asked with a grin as I kissed her, trying to forget that in less then 24 hours I was leaving my ace, for a whole year.

"Rory ... Rory ... come back to me" I mumbled, as I tossed and turned, I vagely heard someone call my name, then turned over and fell asleep again,

"Rory" I whispered, while rubbing her shoulders to wake her up,

"Logan" she asked me sleepily,

"Don't get up" I told her,

"You're dressed, why are you dressed" she asked me confused,

"My bags are in the car" I told her sadly

"The car" she asked, then registered what I was talking about

"Its downstairs, I just wanted to tell you" I replied in what was barely a whisper

"i'll be five minutes I just have to find my closest" she said, as she jumped out of bed,

"Relax" I told her, putting my hands gently on her shoulders

"I just have to grab my shoes and a coat" she said, trying to get out of bed,

"no" I told her softly, she looked up at me,

"no shoes just a coat" she said,

"you don't have to come" I told her,

"You're leaving ... I have to go with you to the airport" she replied seriously,

"no" I told her again,

" I have to say goodbye" she argued

"Rory no" I said, this time more firmly,

"yes, I have to wave you off at the gate" she said, but this time she looked at me, I felt my heart break even more, this was the hardest I had ever had to do, and I could never hate my dad as much as I did right now, I didnt' want to go to London, I wanted to stay here with Ace forever, leaving my Ace was the most heart breaking thing I had ever done,

"They won't let you come to the gate, They'll stop you at security" I told her softly

"Okay, well I'l wave to you at the metal dectors" she tried again,

"Rory" I said sadly

"I have to go with you" she replied, trying hard not to cry

"NO" I said for the fortyith time in the last 10 minutes,

"Yes, you're leaving for London. Who knows when we'll see each other again?" She said, slowly walking up to me

"I thought that was all set?" I asked her

"What was all set" she asked sadly

"With Thanks-giving, Christmas, Guy Falkes day?" I said softly trying to cheer her up a bit

"Thats so far away" she replied the sadness in her voice almost too much for me to take,

"Rory, if you come with me, I won't get on the plane. I've paid for the apartment for the next year, so you don't have to worry about that" I said, then looked at her, the tears falling freely from her face, I wanted so badly to pull her into my arms and blow my dad off,

"There's still a few weeks left on the care service. so use it whenever you want. I know you won't but just in case you need to" I said, finishing everything I had to say, I pulled her closer and kissed her goodbye

"I'll call you when I get in, okay" I said softly looking down at her, then pulled her closer for a more passionate kiss before I left, but she started to cry even more

"What" I asked softly, wishing there was a way I could stop her pain,

"I keep thinking of fabulous things to say. but all I can think is, say Hi to William and Harry for me" she whispered with her head against my chest,

"I love you Ace" I whispered to her

"Thats so much better then say hi to william and harry for me" she said softly, before I leand in for one last kiss, I didn't know how I would survive a year without my ace,

"I have to go" I said, as I pulled away from her kiss, I turned and walked out the door and down the corridore till I got to the elevater, then climbed in and pressed the ground button, as i turned around in the elevater I saw ace standing by the door, trying her best to be brave, I was able to hold my tears in till the door closed, then all the way to the airport, I couldn't hold them back, I was never going to make it a year without her.

"Logan" I felt someone shake me, and I woke up, for a moment I thought it was Rory, and I smiled as I turned around and wrapped my arms around the girl's waist,

"Logan" she said again shocked, I just looked at her, she wasn't Rory, she was Mandy, I needed Rory now, I couldn't stop having the same dream, why was my mind so ocupide on her, it was over a year ago that we broke up, it was time to move on.

I can't go on as long as I believe
Can't let go when I keep wondering

"Your dads on the phone" Mandy said, handing it to me, I swung my legs over the bed, and sat up on my side of the bed,

"Hey Logan, i'm sorry to do this, I need you to come to New York early, I have a business meeting I need you to go to for me at the New York Times"Mitchem Huntzberger told his son, for the first time Logan didnt argue, it was better, the more occupied he was, the less he would think of her ...

"Sure dad, just give me the details" I said, we spoke for a little longer,

"We leaving tomorrow for new york" I told mandy as I headed for the shower.

Where are you now, what have you found
Where is your heart, when I'm not around
Where are you now, you gotta let me know
Oh baby, so I can let you go

I stood in the shower, the hot water hitting me, but all I could think of is Where was Rory, and if she was married or had a boyfriend and wherever she was, I just hoped she was happy and that her boyfriend was treating her right, because she desvered nothing but the best.

RORY

I noticed one of that guys friend start walking towards me, he looked pretty rich, and okay he was really really cute, but I wasn't ready for a relashionship right now, besides, if a guy hits on a girl in a bar, there is normally only one thing they interested in, and I wasnt that type of girl, I tried to ignore him, but then I heard him say "Mary" I slowly turned and came face to face with Tristan DuGrey.

I quickly paid the barman, and jumped off my chair, I was not going to spend an evening with that jerk, he noticed that I was getting ready to leave, "Mary, don't go" he shouted chasing me out of the pub, "okay, first its not Mary, its Rory Gilmore, and second, you're the last person I wanted to see" I told him then turned to walk off again, "please Rory don't go" he shouted again, I turned to look at him, "look, I understand why you don't want to talk to me, but I've changed a lot, please just let me buy you a drink and then we can talk" he asked, his blue eyes shinning, there was just something about him that I just couldn't say no to. "fine" I sighed as we walked back into the resturant and to a private table in the back, we sat thier for hours just talking, I never realised how cool he could actually be, "Well I better get going," I told him softly, he looked kinda sad, and I smiled, "Well at least let me give you a ride back to your appartment then" he asked, I smiled at him and nodded, "sure" I said, he paid the bill and we made our way out of the pub, the ride to my apartment, was silent, and when we got there he turned to me, "Would it be okay if we went out again" he asked, I smiled at him and nodded,
"I'd like that" I told him then gave him my number and got out of the car, I headed into the building and smiled as I watched him leave, as I walked back into my apartment, all I saw was Logan, I sighed again to myself, I had to get over him, I doubted that he even remembered me, never mind still thought of me, I walked up to the radio, as the lyrics filled my apartment, I knew I had made the right decession about New York and Tristan.

I can hear your voice
The ring of yesterday
It seems so close to me
But yet so far away
I should let it out
To save what's left of me
And close the doors of doubt
Revive my dignity

It was almost as if the song was confirming that I should give up on Logan, after all it had been more then a year since I last saw him and he lived in London now, I grabbed his "yale" sweeter and threw it over my head as I fell asleep with Logan and Tristan in my head.

LOGAN

We arrived in New York a few days later and got settled, I went to the meeting for my dad, but I just wasn't in the mood for hanging out, I saw Colin and Finn a few times, but they couldn't stand Mandy, so they tried to hang out when she wasn't around,

"Logan" My dad called me into his office, I walked in "yeah" I asked him, "you will be at our annual Christmas party right" he asked, I nodded, I knew that the Huntzberger parties were big, I smiled remembering when I met Rory at her party that Emily and Richard had thrown for her, it was the beginning of something really special, at least I didnt have to worry about bumping into her and her boyfriend at one of the society parties, Jess wasn't exactly "high society"

TRISTAN

We drove to the resturant in silence, it had been a few days since I ran into Rory at Barneys, We decided to go out tonight, "so..." Rory started breaking the silence, "so..." I replied, trying to think of something to say, but I was so nervous, I hadn't felt this way over a girl ever, and I wasnt really sure how to handle it. "Do you ever see Paris" I asked her trying to find something to talk about, "not really, but I hear from her quiet a lot, she lives here in New York" Rory said smiling, she had the most beautiful smile I had ever seen, I remembered now why I was so crazy about her when we were in Chilton plus she was the only girl I had ever met that took an istant dislike to me, I saw it as a challenge, "Are you ready to order" the waiter asked once, they had seated us and brought us the menu, I smiled up at our waiter, "Sure, bring us the best Champagne you have" I ordered, he nodded and left, then I turned back to Rory, "You do drink champagne right" I asked, kind of worried that she didnt, "yeah," she agreed, I smiled at her and we went back to talking

But, I can't go on as long as I believe
Can't let go when I keep wondering

Where are you now, what have you found
Where is your heart, when I'm not around
Where are you now, you gotta let me know
Oh baby, so I can let you go

RORY

The dinner was nice and we headed home, "I had fun tonight" I told Tristan, he grinned at me, "Me too" he addmitted, then started to laugh, "Whats so funny" I asked him confused, "its just that ... well I was just remembering how much you hated me when we were in Chilton and now, you're going out with me, I could never understand why you didnt fall at my feet the way everyone else did" he admitted keeping his eyes on the road, I grinned at him, "Well your ego was way to big, and you were annoying as hell' I told him, he grinned "What about now" he asked innocently and I just laughed, "Well for one, you finally remember my name, but you're pretty cool so far, way better then the Tristan DuGrey I used to know" I told him, then turned to face the front, the rest of the drive to my appartment was spent in silence, "Well thanks for dinner and the drive, I really enjoyed myself" I told him softly, "Ror" he whispered, I turned to face him, but as I turned around I was met with his lips on mine, at first I was shocked but then I found myself getting lost in the kiss and I returned it, as we pulled away I saw him grinning, "thanks for tonight" he whispered huskily, we just sat in silence staring at each other, "well I was hoping you would accompany me to this society party next Saturday, I don't wanna go, my arch-enemy's parents are throwing it, but my parents are making me attend it," he said softly, not taking his eyes off mine. "I'd love to come with you' I said, then quietly climbed out of the car and entered my apartment, I walked in and Packed my "Logan" box away, I loved him and I would always love him, but I knew I had to give Tristan a chance, with that, I lay on my bed and fell asleep.

I should let it out, it's time to let you go
Oh baby, I just want to know
Where are you now, what have you found
Where is your heart, when I'm not around
Where are you now, you gotta let me know
Oh baby, so I can let you go

LOGAN

I walked out of the shower, and into the kichen to get breakfast, I was so lost on my thoughts of Rory I didnt even see Mandy sitting at the dinning room table, "Who's Rory" she asked icly, I stoped dead in my tracks, how the hell did she know about Rory I thought shocked to myself "I dunno Rory who" I asked back, playing it cool, "You were calling out her name last night in your sleep, and begging her not to leave you" she said, standing up and walking towards me, I sighed, I couldn't keep Rory from Mandy anymore, "just and ex-girlfriend" I said, as if it was nothing, "how long were you together" she asked me, I shrugged, "I dunno" I replied then went and sat outside, Mandy followed me to the deck, firing questions about Rory the whole time, "How did you meet" she asked, I turned around "LOOK MANDY IT WAS ALONG TIME AGO, JUST FORGET ABOUT IT OKAY, I DON'T WANNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT HER, SO JUST DROP THE SUBJECT" I shouted then stormed inside, Rory Gilmore was the last person I wanted to talk about, especially to my new girlfriend.
