A/n: Thanks for the Reviews. I had planned to try and have this story finished by this weekend but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Maybe next weekend.
Reviews:
Ashmo2000: I wasn't planning to have Logan at the party. It just kinda happened. I had planned to have Shira there the whole time. We all know that Shira has never liked Rory and that's not going to change now that Rory's filing for divorce. Shira's just bitter because Rory has more money than she ever will. Rory has found this new independence where she feels like she can actually do things one her own now. That's an interesting thought though about Shira's divorce clause. I may have to think on that one! Think she can get any more jealous than she already is?
Jordana60: Loved your review and your right, Logan didn't show any remorse. But what else can you expect from a rich playboy who was used to getting his way until he met Rory. I always the nickname butt-faced miscreant for him.
Chapter 9
Logan POV
When I got home, I sat down on the couch with a glass of scotch and looked through the divorce papers. I couldn't believe that this was happening. She wasn't supposed to be able to file until 3 years from the day that we separated. It was supposed to give me time to convince her to come back home. I knew that if I could convince Rory to come back home that everything would go back to normal.
I was sitting on the couch thinking about everything when I heard my front door open. A few minutes later, I saw my Dad walk in and fix himself a drink. "What are you doing here, Dad?" I asked.
"Heard you were back. Thought I'd come over so we could have a chat." Dad said, as he sat down in the chair across from me. "Heard you were in London."
"Who'd you hear that from? Rory?" I asked.
"Logan, it doesn't matter who I heard it from. What does matter is…the article. You wanna talk about it?"
"Dad, there's nothing to talk about. I did something stupid. I pissed Rory off which caused her to leave and now she's filing divorce paper. She wasn't supposed to be able to file for three years, you know? But somehow she found a loophole. Dad, what am I going to do?" I said.
"Logan, I think that you need to just sign the papers. I mean, I know that you love Rory… but your never going to be able to convince her to come back, you know that right?" Dad said.
I thought about what he was saying? Was he right? Of course he was. I had been cheating on Rory since before I came back from London. I kept cheating even when I proposed to Rory. I had planned on breaking things off with Bobbie for the wedding, but for some reason I couldn't. And then Rory found out or rather Finn told her. That set the course of Rory leaving. When I went to London, I had broken things off with Bobbie. I was determined to get Rory back at whatever it took. But then Colin called me and told me about the article in the Courant's society pages about the separation. When I tried to talk to Rory about it that's when she told me that she was filing for divorce. So I did the stupidest thing that I could…I went back to Bobbie.
I guess now I didn't have a choice. I had to sign the papers.
RORY POV
It's been a month since I gave Logan the divorce papers. I haven't heard from him. Mitchum helped me get a job at the New York Times. My dream job. It was Friday night and I was meeting Honor and Steph at the bar for drinks after work. When I left work I headed home to change. I changed from my pant suit into a nice strapless dress. I threw on a pair on black heels and headed out to the bar. When I got there Steph was already waiting for me at a table. "Hey." I said.
"Hey. So how's it going?"
"Not bad. Just working all the time."
"Fun." She said. "Any word from Logan?"
I took a sip of my drink. "Nope. I talked to Mitchum though. He said that Logan's gonna sign the papers." I told her.
"That's good, right?" Steph asked.
"Yeah, it is." I said, feeling slightly sad about it. "I'm going to the bar. Need anything?" I asked and Steph shook her head. When I walked up to the bar, I ordered another drink.
"Drinking's bad you know." I heard.
I turned around to see a very handsome guy standing there. "I have heard that." I said, smiling at him.
"Hi, I'm Jake." He said.
"Hi, Rory Hayden." I said.
"As in…the double heiress of Hartford?" He asked.
"Yes that would be me." I said, as the bartender handed me my drink. I pulled my business card out of my purse and handed it too him. "Call me sometime." I said.
"Sure. Enjoy your night." He said.
I headed back to the table where Honor was now sitting with Steph. "Who…was that?" They both asked me.
"That ladies…was Jake." I said. The rest of the night was relaxing. The girls and I enjoyed some drinks and they encouraged me to go out with this Jake guy that I met. When I left the bar, I headed home. When I got inside, I locked the door. I slid down the door until I was sitting on the floor…and for the first time since I first thought about the divorce papers I broke down and cried. Things were really over with Logan.
A/N: Hey guys that's Chapter 9. Yes it's a little bit shorter than chapter 8.
