-Author's Note-

Hello! I need to clear up a few more things real quick... This takes place in present day today, Rory is 20 years old, Logan is 21/22 and all the usuals still attend Yale. Currently Rory's a sophomore and Logan's a junior.

Like always, thanks for reading and baring with me! Lots of love -PS

NOW THE STORY...

Logan was at the bar, waiting for the girl who had been on his mind since the minute he got there. This might have been the first society party that Logan wasn't trying to get out of asap, not anymore at least.

"Hey hottie, you seem bored. I could help you out with that?" a blonde flirted with Logan as she poured two drinks.

"I'm okay; for now, I'll let you know if things change" he replied with a wink as he downed the rest of his drink and moved towards Collin, who was watching him from across the room sitting close to a loud Finn arguing with another guy.

"She cannot be her mom!" one of the guys from the group earlier said.

"I'm telling you its true!"

"Huntz, did I just see you turn down a girl?" Collin asked flabgasted.

"Yeah, well she wasn't my type,"

"Your type? Since when do you have a type?"

"Oh mate, his type is pale, blue eyed girls who's name starts with R ending with -Ory" Finn added. Both the guys chuckled as Logan glared.

"Look, there she is! She seems to be sporting the same look as you Logan, maybe you two are meant to be."

It was true, Rory walked out of the main house with a look what could kill. She went straight towards a tall guy with an older version of the bowl cut, who was talking to the blonde that hit on Logan a couple of minutes ago.

She just could not believe him.

"Dean who the hell is this?"

"Rory calm down. Don't be overdramatic," Dean laughed as he was fairly drunk.

"Calm down? Really? I talk to Tris, my best friend, and you freak out but you can flirt right in front of me at my family's function and I'm not even allowed to question it?"

"Tristen is your best friend? That spoiled rich asshole? Please Rory all that guy has ever wanted to do is fuck you.."

At that Rory slapped him, attracting the attention of just about everyone else, at least those who weren't already interested.

Lorelai was standing a few feet away watching her daughter stand up for herself, but at that she was going to make Dean pay. Before Lorelai could go, Luke wrapped his arm around her stomach keeping her in place.

"Let her deal with it herself. She's a big girl." he said to Lorelai who nodded but was still struggling in Luke's embrace to go to her daughter.

Logan was right behind Lorelai and found himself starting towards this girl to defend. But Colin stopped him by holding onto his shoulder. Logan sighed remembering that she was particularly a stranger and went the other direction from the scene to get a smoke.

Dean put a hand on the imprint that Rory left on his cheek and stared back at her in shock. Every time they had fought before Rory never even really raised her voice but today; today he was nursing an injury.

"Who do you think you are evaluating my relationships? He's been there for me longer than you have."

"Yeah? Well, you did sleep with him years ago, no wonder he's still around. I just got there."

At this the blonde girl, now a few steps away from them, chuckled.

"You know what? Go to hell Dean." Rory said as she got a drink from the small table next to them and throw it at him.

Dean grabbed her wrist and twist it, while forcing Rory onto himself with a hand behind her back "how dare you little bitch."

Rory was about to knee him where it counts but two fists came in contact with Dean's face and jaw. They belonged to Luke and Finn. Lorelai was being held back by Luke but when he saw Dean touch Rory he particularly transported to Dean, as well as a slightly drunk Finn who instantly sobered up just to fight this guy. Sure, Finn missed a bit and punched more of Dean's jaw than the side of his face like he intended, but the same affect was given to Dean.

Rory was immediately pulled into a hug by Lorelai.

"Rory are you okay? Let me see your wrist." Lorelai went right into mom mode. Rory nodded, she was fine. He hadn't hurt her much, but she was totally bewildered.

She held her daughter as Luke picked up Dean from the floor and began pushing him towards the exit.

"You all think you're better than me. But you're not, none of you rich asses are better than me. Especially you slut." Dean yelled sloppily towards Rory.

Paris had been in her car gathering her files for Mitchum, when she heard the chaos and started towards the back of the house. Just as Dean yelled the last part, Paris' knee and hand simultaneously made contact with his sensitive area and face, resulting in a louder impact than that of Rory's from earlier. Fortunately, on the same cheek.

"Rory is ten times the person than you, Bag Boy. Get the fuck away from her and do not come back this time." Paris said to a slouched Dean while keeping direct eye contact as angry emitted out of her.

Paris then saw Lorelai and Rory hugging and made her way to her. "Rory what happened?"

At this Finn spoke, who was attempting to give relieve to his throbbing hand by pretty much sucking on it. "What happened? You don't even know what happened and you did that? God, remind me to never mess with you"

Everybody heard Finn, though nobody reacted because of their concern for Rory, except Rory who slightly smiled.

Lorelai whispered to Rory that she was going to go check on Luke, who was pushing Dean towards to exit, and passed her daughter over to Paris, who was surprisingly standing with open arms.

Rory saw Finn's friend coming to get a hold on Finn who was cursing at his hand.

"Holy mother of everything sweet, Colin! Punching someone else never hurt this much before." Finn cried.

Despite everything that had happened less than a few minutes ago, Rory couldn't help herself from laughing. She had a few minutes to calm down. It went by so fast, that it hadn't properly set in yet. At the moment, she felt glad to be surrounded by such a caring group.

"You have primarily soft tissue damage, you need ice-" Paris evaluated.

"Could you get him some from the bar?" Rory asked in a small voice as she used the back of hand to dry the few tears that had subconsciously fallen on her cheeks. Paris gave her a tight smile and one last squeeze before letting go.

Logan had been in the front of the manor, smoking as he checked his phone just wondering around the sidewalk, he couldn't believe what he was going to do. He soon saw the guy yelling at Rory earlier being pushed out by another man and instantly felt anger. He figured the situation had to have gotten worse and jogged back to the party. On his way there, he ran into Rory's mom, apparently.

"Woaaah" she said as she caught herself from falling.

"Oh sorry!" Logan said as he continued.

"You! Your foreign friend punched Dean!" Lorelai shouted in his direction.

He got faster when he saw Finn swinging his hand in the air and Colin standing next him with Rory hugging a blonde a few steps away. As Logan got closer to the group, he realized the blonde was Emily's granddaughter, his pending wife and stopped a couple of feet away from them. The girl in question began going in the other direction and Logan thought it was save to get closer. But, when he got closer he saw Rory wiping tears and instantly engulfed her in a hug.

SO THAT'S CHAPTER 9...

Hopefully, I did the breakup justice? I stopped liking Dean pretty quickly in the show and needed to paint him as a bad guy! ((this doesn't mean Rory never slept with him, I'm going to add a bit more to Rory's dating history, you'll learn more in upcoming chapters)) Dean got on too many of my nerves.. and if you didn't know the blonde Logan is referring to at the end is Paris who he, Finn and Collin THINK is the girl he is to marry aka Emily and Richard's granddaughter, the Gilmore Girl.
