Chapter 21

Advice

He felt her stir; soon he was looking into her eyes. They were still red and puffy and he felt horrible about it, she had to walk down the aisle in 6 hours.

She woke with a headache, she knew it was from the crying but right now she didn't care because she was in his arms. She looked at him and hesitantly kissed him. She felt him kiss her back but as she tried to deepen it he pulled away.

"Rory, I can't right now. You need to get ready and get over to Jenna's place."

"Are we okay?" She asked.

"Let's enjoy today." He kissed her on her check and got out of the bed.

His words did not sit well with Rory but she knew he was right they had a wedding to go to and she had to get ready to leave. Soon she was at the door on her way out. "Logan, I'm leaving."

"Okay, well I guess I'll see you at the church. Remember to walk slowly you don't want the wedding planner to attack you later." He was trying to lighten the mood since he wanted her to have a good time at the wedding but he was having a hard time since he was the one in a mood. He gave her a hug and a peck on the lips. "Save me a dance."

"You can have them all." She responded with another hug and kiss.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Logan sat back on the couch he still had about four hours before he had to get ready so he decided to do some work but as he sat at the desk all he could think of was their morning in that very room. Since he couldn't work he decided to go out for a run, but again as he ran all of his thoughts were consumed by her and what happened that day before. He thought she got over his past but from her reaction he didn't know if she could ever get past his past. He showered then sat back and sighed he needed to talk to someone but his first choice, Steph, would be getting ready for the wedding so he had no choice but to call on Finn and Colin.

Within half and hour they were at the door.

"Mate, this better be good, you know how I need my beauty rest."

"Hi Logan, thanks for calling, Steph was driving me crazy with questions about what she should wear. Somehow during this week she went from having one choice to about ten."

They both noticed the serious look on Logan's face. "Logan what's wrong."

"How do you know something is wrong?"

"Well first you called us over, we've been here all week and this is the first time here, secondly that look on your face. Logan, the last time I saw that look was when your father made you go to London after graduation."

"You guys know me too well."

"So tell us, mate, what happened with Rory."

"She doesn't trust me." He replied sadly. "She saw me outside a restaurant yesterday and then Bobbi came out and we hugged and I gave her a kiss on her check. Instead of asking me about it she ignored me, when we got back here she told me about what happened and I got mad. Mad that after all we had said to each other that she would still think I would do something to hurt her."

Finn and Colin didn't know what to say. They knew how Logan felt about her and knew that she really hurt him. One thing he valued in his friends is their trust.

"Did she know about you and Bobbi?" Colin asked.

"Yeah, I told her after that night at dinner."

Colin continued "Did you tell her that she had nothing to worry about?"

"Of course I did, I told her I loved her, that she means the world to me. She said the same to me, she said she loved me."

Finn and Colin knew this was serious Logan never claimed his love for a girl to them. After a couple of minutes in silence Finn spoke. "Mate, I'm sorry but look at it from her eyes. She saw you with a girl you slept with, I know she's a strong woman but she's with a guy who used to go from one woman to another when he got bored. I know you changed, and I doubt she would be with you if she didn't think the same but put yourself in her place. What if you saw her walk out of a restaurant with a former boyfriend and gave him a hug and a kiss."

"I wouldn't like it, but I would ask her about it."

"And didn't she tell you about it?"

"Yeah, after ignoring me most of the evening."

Finn and Colin had to get back to the hotel when Colin gave Logan one parting thought... "Logan I can't tell you what to do, you have to determine for yourself if this misunderstanding is enough to end it with her?" .

Logan sunk back onto the couch and sighed.

Rory had arrived at Jenna's still with an uneasy feeling. All the way over she knew something was off but it wasn't until she answered a call from her mother that she knew what that was,"Hey baby girl", Logan didn't call her "Ace" since she confessed to him.

"Mother to baby girl, are you there."

"Yeah, sorry I just spaced out."

"That's okay; I was calling to check on you. How did things go with Logan?"

Rory made her way to the guest bathroom to hide "Not too good. He doesn't think I trust him." She started to cry again. "Mom I don't know what to do, what if I lose him. I love him mom. I can't believe I was so stupid."

"Oh baby girl. I'm sorry; I didn't mean to upset you."

"No, it's not your fault. It's all my fault."

"Rory, I wish I could be there for you."

"I know mom. I'll be okay; I just need a couple of minutes."

"Was he still mad when you left this morning?"

"No, he acted like everything was okay but he didn't call me "Ace", he calls me that at times. He said that I needed to have fun today. How can I have fun when I may have lost him?"

"Rory, I know this will be hard but use his advice and enjoy today. It's for your brother and your best friend."

"I will mom; I wouldn't ever do anything to ruin my best friend's wedding."

"It's a good thing she's marrying your brother or I would have worried about that movie reference."

She got Rory to chuckle. "Okay mom, I have to go and wash my face, again."

"Hang in there baby girl, everything will be okay."

"I love you mom."

"ditto, kiddo. Oh a rhyme, I'm good."

She heard Rory chuckle again.

Lorelai hung up with a heavy heart, she felt torn. She was excited for her son but hurting for her daughter.

Rory stared at herself in the mirror, she was a mess but she knew today was not about her today was about her brother and her best friend. She washed her face put on a smile and went into the main room to get ready for the wedding.
