Chapter Four

Rory was changing in his room when Finn approached Colin. Rory hadn't been crying this morning; she hadn't been upset. But somewhere between waking up and joining him in the shower, something had happened. And logic led Finn to believe that somehow his roommate was involved.

"Morning, mate. Did you say something to Rory, earlier? She seemed a little upset."

Colin snorted.

"You mean when she decided to go fuck you in the shower."

Finn tensed up.

"We didn't have sex. But yes, that's what I'm talking about."

Colin looked skeptical.

"So a Rory joined you, naked, in the shower, and you didn't have sex? Amazing. I knew that relationship was doomed."

Finn was really trying to be patient, but his temper was dangerously close to exploding.

"No, Colin. Our relationship isn't about sex, believe it or not. If we even have a relationship. Now stop avoiding the bloody subject and answer me! What the hell did you say?"

Colin looked straight at his friend, not losing eye contact for a moment.

"I told her she can't move in here, although she apparently wasn't planning on it. I also let her know that because of you two, Logan's heart is broken. And I called her a self-centered bitch who doesn't care who she hurts as long as she gets her way."

Finn looked closely at his friend, his temper finally snapping.

"Wow, it's obvious you know Rory really well, Colin. That's quite a fair assessment of out Reporter Girl. She's never done a kind thing in her life. Like making sure we don't drive when we're drunk, comforting certain foreign girls who are thrown away like trash. She's never fixed us coffee or sat down with us to play poker or get drunk. That's just not who she is. Rory's a bloody bitch, and we're all better off without her."

He lowered his voice to a whisper.

"That's why I'm in love with her. Because she's just a terrible fucking person."

Colin took a few steps back, slightly frightened by the pure fury rolling off his friend. He opened his mouth to say something, anything, to defuse his Australian friend, but before he could speak the door behind Finn slammed open and Rory stalked through, wearing her clothes from the night before.

Finn froze in place as she pulled open the apartment door without mercy, nearly sending it flying off its hinges as it crashed shut behind her.

It took Finn less than a second to think back to his conversation with Colin and recount the things she must have overheard. In the next second, he was out the door and in the hallway with Rory, grasping tightly onto her hand in order to slow her down.

"Get off of me!"

She tried to shake him off, but he wouldn't let go.

"Rory, calm down and listen to me."

"Fuck you, Finn!"

He couldn't decide whether her use of foul language or the fact that she was trembling shocked him more, but both terrified him. His voice dropped to a whisper.

"I wasn't being serious, Rory. Please, love, you have to know that."

The elevator chimed, but neither brunette noticed as the doors opened and a familiar blonde stepped off.

"No, Finn. What I know is that for the last few months since I've been seeing you, I've been under the impression that it was more than just sex. That you actually gave a damn! I want to thank you for clearing that up, It's just too bad that you had to pick now to let me know how much better off you think you'd be without a selfish bitch like me!"

Rory couldn't help it, she started to cry.

"You're such an asshole, Finn. Why did you risk your friendship with Logan? He's your best friend. Why, if you hate me so much, didn't you just stay away after that first night?"

"Rory, I didn't mean-"

"Did you do this to hurt me? Because you knew I was in love with Logan, you decided to use that against me? You hate me that much?"

"Goddamn it Rory!"

When she fell silent, Finn sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He took another deep breath.

Someone cleared their throat loudly, and the pair froze, turning almost simultaneously.

Rory felt her throat constrict, her chest tense up. Logan had tears in his eyes. He was several yards down the hallway, but she could tell.

He didn't move any closer, and neither did Rory. But his eyes locked on hers.

"Months, Ace?"

He made a bitter noise.

"I didn't suspect a thing. You're really good at that whole sneaking-around bit."

At this, Rory took a step forward, her eyes filling with pain.

"Logan..."

But there was nothing for her to say, she hoped her tone could convey it all.

It was clear enough to Finn.

She would go back to Logan, just as he'd expected.

Quietly, he slipped back into the apartment, closing the door silently behind him.

The couple noticed, but didn't acknowledge that they were now alone.

"Please, Rory. Explain this to me. I don't understand how... why you did this."

She remained silent for a moment, trying to decide where to start.

"Finn helped when I moved out of my grandparents' house. A few weeks later, I guess he heard we'd broken up, because he called and offered to get me drunk to 'ease the pain.'"

She shook her head.

"It didn't really have anything to do with him being your friend. It just sort of worked out that way."

"After that?"

"We kept seeing each other around, especially after wegot back together. Somehow we ended up being alone together a lot. So we slepttogether again. It wasn't that I was angry with you, or we wanted to hurt you. It just happened. And kept happening. Almost daily, at some points."

Rory winced at the utter devastation on Logan's face. His jaw clenched in pain.

"So we broke up last night, and you went straight to him? Right into his bed?"

Rory shook her head gently, meeting Logan's eyes and taking a step closer.

"We didn't have sex, Logan. I needed him and he was there for me."

Logan's arms were crossed tightly across his chest.

"So nothing happened?"

Rory looked at the ground, confirming the blonde's fears.

At his silence, she looked up and met his eyes once more. She looked deeply into the dark brown depths and felt something stir within her.

Even though she'd hurt him, he still loved her. He still wanted her.

"Logan..."

This time, Rory walked straight to him and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face in his shirt. It took him a minute to respond, but he finally pulled her close, cradling her small form against his own.

"I'm so sorry, Logan. It's over with Finn. I promise."

She breathed in his cologne, the familiar scent soothing her.

"I'm sorry too, Ace. Those girls didn't mean anything to me, you should alreadyknow that. But we weren't together..."

He kissed her hair gently, pulling her tight against his side and leading her back to the elevator.

"C'mon, Ace. Let's go home."

Leaning down, he captured her lips with his own.

"I love you, Rory. We'll be okay. Right?"

Nodding, Rory smiled a little and cuddled closer to her boyfriend.

All the while, her mind was focused on a certain Australian brunette, and how he'd spoken of her to Colin.

She wondered why it hurt her so much, when it seemed to be true.

A/N: So, I definitely suffered while writing this chapter. Please don't hate me! But even though this chapter wasn't very good, the next one is going to be one of my favorites to write, I can already tell. Mostly because it's pretty much written in my head already. Reviews will get it posted faster!
