Paris was right!
These many questions on Rory's mind gave her quite a headache.
She stared at her laptop screen. She actually was to write an article about a 70 year old high society lady who was still engaged in every social organization that was somehow related to Obama.
It was one of these rare days where she just couldn't concentrate on anything. She even forgot to refill her coffee mug.
"Are you sure you're all right?" The woman whose table was opposite of hers asked. At last people had started to act nicer.
"Yes, yes, I am fine thank you. It's an off day that's all!" Rory forced herself to smile.
The hours dragged. This was the longest day she ever had, except this one day when she was waiting on her exam results!
After Rory had finally managed to write down the article, she re-wrote it again and again and again. How could it be she got so distracted just because of Logan Hunzberger!? She longed for a clarification of this mess or she would go mad! Rory was sure that she would find no sleep tonight and she had never been happier that she didn't have to work tomorrow!
At home she still had cabin fever, so she called her mother.
"It's wrong, right!?" She just said.
"What is?"
"I can't get back together with him!"
"Aha…"
"I have been thinking…"
"Oh dear!"
"…about it the whole morning. I have made plenty of lists!"
"The lists never lie!"
"And that's the point! Paris has laid it all out pretty well!"
"Woah woah woah, careful about what you're saying there!"
"What?"
"You mentioned Paris and whenever someone mentions Paris one has to be very careful!"
"I know, but she is right!"
"What did she say?"
"Well, she reminded me of Logan's past, that he didn't want to commit at first, and when he did we broke up, we got back together, but then took a break, he cheated on me, okay he thought we were through but anyway, we got back together, he asked me to marry him, I declined and now here we are! This can't be good!"
"Huh…what is your list saying?"
"Okay, con: he has cheated on me, yes he thought we were through, but he never told me himself! Then he is unstable. He was in the news with another woman recently, I know that's all hypothetical, but well… his family hates me, he asked me to marry him, well, is that negative or positive? And then he can be so condescending that I sometimes really hate him!" Rory had to catch her breath.
"Wow, that was a rush…What about the other side?"
"Er, he loves me…probably, he saved my career, maybe his money, but then again I have my own and in brackets: he asked me to marry him." Rory took another deep breath. "So?"
"Huh…that side of the list is definitely shorter!"
"Mum! I don't know what to do!"
"Honey, I can't tell you what to do, I am sorry!"
"What do you suppose would grandma say?"
"Either, we're just as good as the Hunzbergers or I knew he wasn't good enough for you! Or maybe both. Why? Do you want to let the majority decide? Should we hold a town meeting?"
"A town meeting?"
"They did it on me and Luke, so why not on you too?"
"Because it doesn't concern the town!"
"But you're their favourite! They would be pleased to help you!"
"No, mum, thanks, only if you want me to become as psychotic as your dog!"
"He's not psychotic he's empathetic!" Lorlai complained.
As predicted Rory hadn't slept all night and so today she had decided to go over to Finn's to see Logan. She wasn't far away anymore and her temperature changed from hot to cold and back again. Was she afraid of what there was to come?
She just rounded the last corner as she ran into Honor Hunzberger.
"Honor!"
"Rory, hi! How are you?"
"Quite well, thank you. How about you?"
"Fine fine." Honor smiled. There was an awkward silence between them.
"Have you just seen Logan?"
"Yes. He looks better. You're on your way there?"
"Yes, I am." Honor hesitated before she asked carefully:
"You sure you should go there now?"
"Uhm I…" Rory didn't understand and Honor interrupted her quickly.
"He's still pretty exhausted and I know it's not my business and I don't want to tell you what to do, but don't you think a clear cut would be better?"
"I er…"
"Rory I do like you, really, but you should consider it!" Logan's sister watched her for a few seconds trying to decide if she should tell her more, but she decided against it. "Well, excuse me, but I have to rush. Take care!"
She turned on her heel and started to walk away.
"Honor!" Rory called. She didn't understand this. Honor stopped, but she didn't turn around. "What is this about?"
You could see and hear that Honor took a deep breath before she turned around. A fake smile was displayed on her lips and in a bittersweet voice she said:
"Rory, you were the only person Logan was stable with. He was with you despite every objection from his family. He even wanted to marry you." Honor struggled to keep her composure. Always a smile on her lips, probably because she didn't want to raise attention and make a scene. "You broke his heart!" Rory could hardly believe this.
"He broke mine too!"
"He's my little brother Rory. I have to protect him. I know all about your relationship so please take it as a good advice if I say: don't let him go through this again! Besides if he will not make you unhappy then my family will. I'm sorry, but ti might be the best for both of you!" Honor waited for Rory to reply but her brain wasn't up for this. She hadn't expected something like this to come her way. "I really have to catch that train! So...bye Rory!"
Rory panted starring after her.
I just had an idea for a huge family drama and I wanted to ask you if you are up for family drama, or if you think that's out of place?
Let me know!=)
And as always: Thanks for reading!
