When I woke up, I felt safe, happy. Even though a lot of things in my life were going wrong, it was ok. I looked up to find Logan watching me, I smiled at him.
"How was your nap?" He asked.
"Oh it was good." I said, yawning. "Have you been watching me this whole time?"
"Well you are fascinating to watch." When he said that I thought I would feel self-conscious, but I didn't. Actually, I liked that he watched me.
"What time is it?" It looked like it was starting to get dark.
"Almost 6:00, are you hungry? You haven't eaten since…well before we had coffee." I didn't really notice that I was extremely hungry until he said that.
"Uh, yes actually. Do you have anything to eat?"
"Do I have anything to eat? Rory Gilmore is asking me, Logan Huntzberger if I have anything to eat. Of course I have stuff to eat…well I at least have lunch meat, and…peanut butter." He smiled at me and my heart melted. Then he shifted me so I could support my own weight and got up to walk over to his kitchen. I heard him open the refrigerator and him give an involuntary "hmmmm".
"What-" I said "-got nothin' but beer?"
"Well, Ace, I don't know what to say, gotta have my place stalked for those wild parties Finn throws here."
"Are you kidding me? You still hang out with Finn, oh that brings back memories…"
"Good one's I hope."
"Oh definitely good ones, unless you call Finn stripping down to nothing but his socks and putting his underwear on his head while dancing on the table to 'build me up, buttercup' a bad memory."
"That was a seriously good memory. How drunk was he again? Here ya go, Ace. Turkey sandwich."
"Thanks. And if I do remember correctly, he hadn't started drinking yet."
"Oh right, he was trying to stay sober to impress that one blonde chick…Suzie? Madison? I never remember the names."
"If you ask me, he impressed her all right." My mind started filling with old memories of Logan, Collin, Finn, the Life and Death Brigade, Lucy, Olivia, Paris…hmm I should call her soon.
He started laughing, but then stopped and turned to me.
"Rory, are you happy?" That was a complicated answer, but I think I had it now.
"I don't think I was, but I think things are gonna be getting better; what about you?"
"Same here; it feels almost as if I'm getting a second chance, and I wanna do it right this time."
"Ya…" I looked into his eyes and I knew he felt the same way I did, almost like nothing in the world mattered anymore, we were where we were supposed to be. There was a connection between us, it had gotten smaller, but never disappeared, and now, it was glowing again.
I hope you guys enjoyed chapter 8! I'm not sure when I'll have chapter 9 up, I still need to write it, but I'll get it up as soon as I can if I have enough reviews. Now go frolic in in the meadows of review central, lol.
