Last time on A Pending Romance:
"Uh Steph" Rory quickly said.
"Yeah?" Steph said turning.
"Let's not tell Logan or anyone about why Dean and I broke up? I hate Dean and all, but I don't want Logan to kill him" Rory said.
Steph bit her lip, "Okay if your sure"
"I am"
"Then my lips are sealed" She said as she swung open the door and Logan, who had been leaning against the door, fell right in.
" Logan Huntzberger! Were you eavesdropping?" Stephanie said accusingly scared of what, and how much he had overheard.
Logan looked at Rory, "Yeah and I'm glad I did"
Chapter 12 – Unspoken Words
Logan's eyes burned into Rory's as they held each others gaze. Rory was afraid to look away because in her mind, that would show him she had something to hide. Which she did.
" Logan" Stephanie said, she was standing write behind him, but she sounded light years away. All he could concentrate on was Rory, and how she was hiding something from him.
" Logan" Stephanie repeated. Stephanie knew that Rory would break under Logan's hard gaze, and was determined to switch his attention. But Logan had another plan.
"I can't believe you" He said, "After all the time we're know each other, you think I wouldn't care about you?"
Rory's eyes widened, she then automatically shut her eyes, refusing to hear him, to see him. She wanted to go back in time and tell Stephanie she didn't want to meet her three closes guy friends, tell her she had plans that night and couldn't go to the pub.
"Rory!" Logan shouted, trying to get her attention. How could she keep how she felt about him a secret for that long? Doesn't she know that he cares for her?
"I'm sorry" She whispered finally, knowing very well that she couldn't go back in time, all she could do was handle the current situation and hope for the least amount of heartache to come out of it.
"Then tell me the truth"
"About what Logan!" Stephanie interrupted, "She doesn't need to give you a 411 on everything okay!"
"Rory, look I promise I won't kill Dean" Logan's said, ignoring Stephanie, "But I don't appreciate you lying to me!"
Rory exhaled and exchanged glances with Stephanie. So that's all he heard! She thought.
"Dammit Rory!" Logan said, "What don't you trust me enough? Was 5 years of friendship not enough before you can share secrets like that with each other? What did you have to know me for 6 years like you've known Stephanie before you could trust me? Is that it?"
Rory shook her head and looked away, she wasn't sure what to say.
"Logan, Logan" Stephanie whispered to Logan, although Rory could hear everything, "Look we have an LDB event in almost two hours, can you get off Rory's back for a bit? It's her business Logan, just give her time to open up"
Logan looked like he was considering it and finally spoke, "I'll let this slip for now, but we're not done Rory." He said, his deep brown eyes darker with anger.
Rory watched as Logan walked into his bedroom and jumped as he slammed the door shut. Stephanie quickly pushed Rory into her own room and closed the door just as Rory fell on the floor next to her bed.
"God Steph, I thought he heard-"
"Shhh I know" Steph said comfortingly.
"I should have just told him, I was just so shocked and so scared that he had heard everything that-"
"I know, just talk to him tomorrow okay?"
"I don't like that he's mad at me" Rory said biting her lip.
"I know, but you know how loyalty works with Logan. Especially for you. I mean we all expect our friends to be loyal to us, but Logan more than others. I figure its because he is extremely loyal to all of us and expects the same treatment. But even more so with you. And it has a lot to do with the feelings he has for you Rory. He trusts you more than the rest of us, and he loves you more than the rest of us. He doesn't like being lied to"
Rory nodded, "Yeah I know, I would have said something outside, its just that I thought…I was so confused..."
"I know, look just ignore it for now, maybe you can talk to him tonight, I'm going down to grab my stuff" Stephanie said.
Rory nodded as Stephanie left, she knew Logan wouldn't be his usual self tonight. Or rather maybe he would. He'd probably drink a lot and push himself onto a lot of girls tonight. He knew she didn't like it, and he'll probably do it to watch her glumly face all night.
But that's what you wanted right? You wanted him to stop making moves on you...right?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Logan stood in front of his mirror after his quick cold shower. All he could think about all day was Rory...and when he finally came home to her she was is the middle of telling Stephanie to lie to him...to not tell him why Rory and her ex-boyfriend broke up. An idea suddenly came to Logan as he glanced at his watch. 4:10. He had time. Logan quickly slipped on a pair of jeans that Rory had once insisted he buy and a plain blue sweater. He slipped on some shoes, grabbed his keys, wallet and cell and slipped out of the dorm without Rory hearing him. He waited patiently outside the elevator and when it opened a bubbly Stephanie and Rosemary stood on the other side. Rosemary said a cheery hello and Stephanie asked where he was going. Both went unanswered as he slipped into the elevator as they slipped out. He only felt like talking to one person right now.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
"Hey Ror?" Stephanie called as her and Rosemary entered Rory and Logan's common room.
"In here" She called back softly.
The two entered Rory's bedroom.
"Hey Ror!" Rosemary said.
"Hey Rose" Rory said smiling,
"Steph said something happened, that its a long story and that I'm not to ask any questions" Rosemary said.
"Rose!" Stephanie said.
"So i won't!" Rosemary said, more to Stephanie than to Rory, "But i will give you this" She said pulling out a flask and three little shot glasses out of her purse.
"I can totally see how you're with Finn" Rory said with a small smirk.
"Shut up" Rosemary said with a smile as she filled all three shots up.
"To a night of no worries!" She said as the three raised their glasses.
"I'll drink to that" Rory said.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Logan got out of his car and walked up to the door. Anger was running all through him but he refrained himself from kicking down the front door.
Rory would be proud.
The door opened and Logan put on a smile for the lady, "Hey, can I speak to Dean for a minute?"
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Rory couldn't help but begin to have a good time as the three of them got ready. They had music blasting and showers running. In nothing but their robes the girls took turns doing each others hair and makeup.
"Gosh Ror, your eyes are stunning you know that?" Rosemary said as she put eye liner on Rory, "It's a one of a kind shade of blue!"
Steph laughed, "Even her eye colour matches the event!"
It was really a funny joke, but with the alcohol getting to them the girls laughed.
Suddenly Rory sobered up, "Oh my god, Logan's going to think I don't even care about what happened tonight with all this laughing"
Rosemary and Stephanie laughed, "I know he eavesdrops well but he can't when left!"
"He left?" Rory said confused.
"Yeah, I guess he must have forgot to get something cause he had his keys and everything" Rosemary said.
"Oh" Rory said.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
"Sure, let me go grab him" The lady said smiling.
In seconds Dean appeared, his pathetic smile got wiped off his face as he saw Logan"
"Hey Dean, I need to talk to you for a minute, come out here" Logan said looking Dean in the eye.
Dean silently followed instructions and as soon as the door was shut Logan pushed Dean's body up against the side of the house.
"Hey man! What the fuck!" Dean yelled.
"Shhh wouldn't want that pretty lady to hear would we?" Logan said tightening the grasp around Dean's neck.
"Okay" Dean said hoarsely.
"Now I'm going to ask you just once, and your going to tell me the truth. What the fuck did you do to Rory?" Logan said through clenched teeth.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Rory spinned elegantly in the room as Stephanie and Rosemary looked on laughing, "You look gorgeous, the blue looks good on you"
"Thank you" She said, "You guys look great to"
Rosemary wore a spaghetti strap black dress with virtually no back. It had blue sequin patterns all down the dress. Stephanie wore a strapless black dress with a blue hem. She also had a blue sheer shawl around her neck.
"We're beautiful!" Rosemary said spinning.
"That sounds so shallow" Rory said giggling.
"It's the truth" They heard a voice from the front and turned.
"Hey Colin, Finn" Rory said.
"Hey love" Finn said smiling, "You guys wouldn't happen to know where Logan is would you?"
"No he left without a word" Rosemary said.
Finn watched as Rory's face dropped but Colin beat him to the question.
"Did something happen between you two?" Colin asked.
"Yes" Rosemary answered dutifully, "But it's a long story and we're not suppose to ask questions, only Stephy knows"
Colin and Stephanie exchanged glances and she mouthed 'later' to him.
"So girls its, uh, 6:30" Finn said.
"Already" Steph said
"And he's not back yet?" Rory said in a worried voice.
"He'll make it back, but Rosemary and me need to get going love, are you ready Rose?"
"Yes Finney…" Rose said and hugged Rory goodbye.
"See you everyone! Take care Ror!"
"We should bounce to" Steph said, "Unless you want us to stay till he gets here…"
"No" She mumbled, "Go"
Steph gave her a hug, "Call me"
"I will"
Rory looked at her cell phone as soon as she heard the front door close. Should she call Logan?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
"Look-"
"No you look!" Logan hissed, "I will find out either way, and i will come and beat the shit out of you. But i'll spare you if you talk, NOW"
"It was a failing relationship to start with" Dean said choking on Logan's grip.
"Dammit Dean, I don't have time for you shit"
"I...cheated on her"
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Rory decided she wasn't going to call him. It was two scary. She wasn't sure how she was suppose to deal with this. She knew he wasn't going to talk to her. But was it really her fault? Did she really owe Logan that much? Rory sighed as she moved to the common room. She sat as elegantly as she could on the couch and flipped on the TV. It would be much easier to leave without Logan, but he had the invitation, so that left her waiting for him. Rory let out a soft yawn as she began watching a old rerun of Friends.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Logan stepped back surprised as Dean began rubbing his sore neck.
A moment of silence over came the two and then Logan slammed Dean against the house again, punching his nose and jaw, causing Dean to fall to the ground.
"You cheated on her?" Logan yelled and then lowered his voice in an almost lethal whisper as he said, "Do you have any idea how lucky you were to have her?"
"Look-" Another Kick.
"Fuck guy that hurts!" Dean screamed,
"Good" Logan said, "I'm surprised you haven't thrown a punch on me"
"Why? So you can have your fathers goons come after me?" Dean spat.
Logan let out a cold laugh. "My fathers goons? More like my own. My father is to legal to have goons"
"Duly Noted" Kick Kick, "Fuck" Dean muttered.
"Now you listen to me, I want you to stay the hell away from Rory? Understood? I don't want you hurting her. She doesn't need an apology or anything...I will find out if you see her or talk to her." Logan lowered his voice to a whisper, "Don't underestimate me, I'm a Huntzberger"
With one more swift kick Logan turned and began walking towards his car.
"What happened to sparing me?" Dean muttered pathetically,
"I lied" Logan said as he gave Dean a hard look, "Just like you did to Rory"
Logan got into his car and sped away. His anger wasn't gone, and it wasn't only directed at Dean. It was directed to Rory. He couldn't believe she would hide something like this from him, didn't she know that he cared for her? That all he wanted was for her to be happy? Did she not trust him? Did their friendship mean nothing to her? Logan glanced at the clock. 6:30. An hour to get home, 15 minutes to shower, 30 to get ready and then 15 to get there with Rory. Rory. Anger raced through him. How dare she lie to him? Logan decided in that very spot that he wasn't going to talk to her. He didn't know a Rory Gilmore.
