By lunch, Kevin and Logan had confronted every boy that had been at Kal's party. Of course, this didn't go unnoticed, but none of the guys would talk about it. The hickey had been hidden by Louise's cover up, and luckily no one had seen it besides her friends. Kevin went ballistic when she wouldn't tell him who. Logan had never seen his friends this way, and while Colin and Finn found it amusing, Logan did not. They were all at Logan's house now, doing homework, while Kevin ranted.

"I'll kill 'em. My sister-my sister- what was the guy thinking?"

Logan just stared at his homework. He realized that it wouldn't matter to Kevin how much he cared for Rory. Kevin would see this as betrayal, and he would loose his best friend. No matter what, Logan lossed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rory had heard her brother break up with many girls. She knew the tone guys used and she knew that the word 'we need to talk' was a bad sign. But that was what Logan had said to her, and he used the tone. So when she went to the coffee shop later that day, she made sure to park close to the shop and have tissues in the car. When he walked in, she looked up at him and plastered a smile on her face, trying to hold back the tears until the words were out. He sat down, neither of them said anything. This wasn't an awkward silence; it was just that. Silence.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Logan just looked at her and tried to remember why he was doing this. Kevin, he remembered, Kevin would kill him. He broke the silence.

"I just want you to know-."

"I do."

"I don't want-."

"I know. I've heard Kevin break up with girls before; you do it the same way."

He couldn't stand to look at her eyes; they were to filled with hurt, so he just looked at his hands. The last this she said before she walked away was:

"Don't worry, I won't tell Kevin."

Her tears overflowed at that point, she hurried out of the coffee shop, drove home, and waited until she was in her room to breaks out in sobs. She needed to talk to her very best friends, so she got out her cell phone and called her.

"Hello."

"Mom?"

Loreali Gilmore Hayden hated being away from home so long, leaving her kids. But Christopher was away on business, and she had to look over her inn. It was about a ½ hour away from Hartford, in a town called Stars Hollow. She owned a house there, so instead of driving back in forth, she thought she would stay there. That changed when she heard the hurt in her daughter's voice. Once she got off the phone, she left Stars Hollow and went to see her daughter. The minute the door was open, Rory was there, just crying. Loreali decided they needed to wallow.

Kevin came home to fine his sister and mother watching movies and eating ice cream, his sister was crying.

"Hey Mom."

"Hi."

"Is Rory okay."

"She will be."

Rory had told her everything. Yes, everything. About the skirt, Logan, Kevin, all the way up to the coffee shop incident. It was one big soap opera; if circumstances were different, and her daughter had not been crying her eyes out, Loreali would have laughed at a situation like this. Thinking it was just something to gossip about.

Logan got home that day, and was distraught. He ignored his parent's requests for him to come to dinner, and just stayed in his room. He couldn't get her face out of his mind. He wished that he didn't have to do that. That he could be with Rory, and still have her brother as a best friend. But he couldn't. He just lay in his bed and did something he had never done before. Cry over a girl.

Thanks again for all the comments. I know this one was short, but the next one will be longer, and look for a certain rich blonde boy that isn't Logan.
