Chapter 10: The heartache of the drunk and the lover

Finn and Logan walked into their dorm room in silence, neither knew what to say to the other. Finn thought about telling Logan, end this big lie that got more complicated by the minute but Rory wasn't there, she was in Stars Hollow. 'She's probably asking her mother what to do,' Finn thought to himself. This thought, however, didn't make him happy. He knew she was having doubts about the two of them and that hurt. He was trying to figure out what made her change her mind when Logan finally spoke.

"I had a fight with her today." Logan was going to try to get something out of Finn, he was going to give him another chance to tell the truth.

"With who?"

"Rory."

Finn, who was in his own room putting away his clothes while Logan was in the common room, looked up but didn't move.

"About what?"

"About time. She asked me for time and space."

"Oh," was the only thing Finn could reply.

"She didn't let me tell her I love her."

"But you've told her before, right?"

"No."

Again Finn looked up. "You've never told her you loved her?"

"I told her this morning, but we were in the middle of an argument, I don't think that counts."

"You told her this morning? What did she do?"

"She yelled at me," Logan said in a chuckle.

Finn chuckled too. "Not the response you were expecting, I suppose."

"No, but I don't know what to expect from her anymore. Actually I don't know what to expect from anyone anymore."

"I think that's a good thing," Finn said closing his closet door and walking into the common room, "this way you're always surprised when something happens. If you always know what to expect it gets boring, there's no surprise."

"Some surprises I'd rather not get," was all Logan said and Finn knew what he was talking about. This was it, he had to tell him even if Rory was having doubts he couldn't lie anymore.

"Logan, I guess you already know, but I need to tell you all the same. I can't lie to you anymore."

Logan looked at him serious and cool. Finn sat down on a chair while Logan sat on the couch. He ran his fingers through his dark messy hair trying to figure out the best way to tell his friend what he had to say, but there was no easy way to do it. No matter what he said, he was going to hurt Logan.

"I'm thinking about a way to tell you that won't hurt either of us, but I guess there's no such way, I'm sorry."

Logan didn't change his expression, "just say whatever it is that you want to say, Finn, don't stall."

"I'm not stalling." He really wasn't, he knew there was no way out. Now, an hour from now, tomorrow, he knew that not matter when he told Logan, the outcome would be the same, Logan hurt and him one friend short.

"Fine then just say it."

"I..." His cell phone interrupted him. He was going to turn it off, but when he saw who was calling he thought it was better to answer it. "I have to take this," he said as he walked towards the door. He didn't want Logan to listen to the conversation so he went outside, Logan knew, however, that it was Rory calling.

"Hey," Finn said as he closed the door behind him.

"I'm sorry."

"Bout what?" Finn asked, but he knew what she was talking about.

"I freaked out but I didn't mean to."

"That's ok."

"No, it's not. I had the chance of telling Logan this morning but I couldn't, I was scared. But I never doubted my feelings for you, I just didn't want to hurt him."

Finn sighed in relief. "I understand. I'm going through the same thing right now. Logan's inside waiting to hear from me that I like the girl he's still in love with. I just feel horrible."

"You can't tell him!" Rory exclaimed.

"Why not?"

"We both have to tell him, together."

"Don't you think it's better to just get this over with?"

"Please, Finn, wait for me. I have to be able to explain..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, please. I'll ask my mom to drive me right now, we can tell him tonight, just wait for me."

"Ok, then, I'll wait. Call me when you get here."

"I will, bye."

Finn went inside trying to think of something to tell Logan.

"We'll have to finish this later, I'm sorry," was all that he could come up with.

Logan looked grave. "Was that her?"

"We'll talk about this later, Logan."

"No, we'll talk about this now. Was that her?"

"Don't do this, man."

"Answer the question, Finn. Was that her?"

"Yes, it was her! Happy now?"

"How could you?" Logan asked standing up, "how could you do this to me?"

"Logan, not now, seriously."

"Why not now, huh? Why prolong this crap any longer? I already know about the whole damn thing anyway!"

Finn didn't know what to say for once.

"What's the matter, Finn? Can't think of anything clever to say that'll get you off the hook now, can you?"

"Logan, I'm sorry."

"Of course you are."

"Really, man, I am."

Logan looked at him, he never wanted to hit someone before like he wanted to hit Finn now, he was furious.

"I can't stay here, I can't even look at you," he said with a disgusted face and walked out of the dorm not saying another word leaving Finn standing in the common room, paralyzed and in shock.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Finn was still standing in the common room when his cell phone rang about an hour after Logan left.

"Hello," he answered mechanically.

"Finn?"

Her voice brought him back to life, "hey."

"I'm here."

"Come on over," he said and flipped his phone closed.

Finn was in a state of shock, he had no reaction to any outside stimulation. When Logan left the room an hour before Finn didn't even know what to think. He knew Logan was going to be angry, but he could never imagine that he'd be this angry. He also knew that Logan was going to hate him for a while, but it seemed that this 'while' was going to be longer than he had expected. He felt bad, he felt horrible, he didn't like hurting his friend, much less do that because of a girl! They always had fights and arguments, Finn and Logan, but that was part of their relationship. They never fought over a girl. It was easy not to since they never liked the same type of girl before. The irony of it all! Of all the girls in the world he was going to lose his best friend because of one Rory Gilmore. He never would have thought that neither he nor Logan could fall for such a girl, nice, intelligent, sweet, studious, sensitive, rational, and fall for her at the same time! But then again, she was the kind of girl actually worth fighting for, actually worth losing a friend over, at least for a while. A slight knock on the door made him wake from his thoughts.

"Are you ok?" Rory asked when she saw Finn's blank expression.

"He left," was all he could manage to say.

"Logan?"

"Uh-hu, " he moved to the side allowing Rory to come inside.

"So you told him?"

"It wasn't necessary, he said he already knew."

They were silent.

"Where did he go?" Rory asked after a few minutes.

"He didn't say."

"When did he leave?"

"After you called the first time."

"Do you have any idea of where he might be?" Rory asked concerned.

"Not really..."

"Do you think he's ok?"

"No, I don't think he's ok."

"Finn..." Rory said walking up to him. He was sitting on the couch, his head in his hands. She ran her fingers through his hair trying to comfort him. He rested his head on her body and hugged her legs. She moved her hands to his shoulders and bent to kiss his head. He looked up, his eyes full of tears. Rory wanted to do something, she wanted to make him fell better, but she couldn't since she was feeling just as bad as he was.

"He said he couldn't even look at me, Rory. You should have seen the way he said this... he hates me."

"He'll come around."

"I don't think he will. I lied to him, to his face. More than once, that's not something friends do."

"It's not like you had anything to tell him, we still had to figure out what we were feeling..."

"Not me."

"What do you mean?"

"I knew how I felt."

"Since when?"

"About four months ago."

"Finn..."

"I tried, I really did, I tried not to fall for you, I couldn't help it... he's going to hate me forever."

"Don't say that," she said tracing his cheeks with her fingers, "he's your friend, he'll understand, we didn't do it on purpose."

"You know that's not how it works. You were his girlfriend, I'm his best friend, I know, I've always known how he feels about you. I should have done something to prevent this from happening."

"You can't control these things Finn. I know, I've been there before," she said remembering her past, her 'thing' with Dean and Jess. She liked Dean, she loved him, but she just couldn't help being attracted to Jess, she was drawn to him.

"I know... thank you," he said, his hands now around her waist, pulling her closer to him.

"For what?"

"For being here, for being you."

She smiled and leaned in to kiss him when the door to the dorm was thrown opened startling them, making Rory take a step back and Finn stand up from the couch.

"Oh, goody! The whole party's here!" Logan said in a drunk voice, "what, did she come to help you turn the knife inside of me, my good friend Finn?" He slammed the door behind him, his two companions silent. "Are you planning on speaking any time soon or should I go get some more drinks while you get your stories straight?"

"Logan, come on," Finn said.

"Come on! That's all you have to say? Not that I was expecting anything worth listening from you..."

"Logan..."

"She speaks!" Logan said raising his hands to Rory, "the lady actually has speaking abilities! I thought she was here just to enjoy the show."

"Why are you doing this? We're trying to talk to you in a rational manner," Finn said.

"I think I'm a bit too drunk for rational, thank God."

"Logan, we're sorry," Rory said ignoring Logan's previous remarks.

"Sorry, hum, about what exactly? Are you sorry that you fell in love? Are you sorry that you got together? Are you sorry that you went behind my back about the whole damn thing? Or are you sorry that you lied to my face about it? See, so many options to choose from!" They were silent, so Logan continued, "come on, tell me, I want to hear what you have to say, it'll probably be very interesting..."

"We can't do this now, not with you like this," Finn said.

"Not with me like this... and like this would be what, Finn? Drunk or heartbroken? Cause I have to be drunk to be able to hear you tell me that you fell for Rory and heartbroken will be a state I'll be for a while now."

"Like this would be irrational, incoherent and stupid," Rory said a little hurt.

Logan shook his head as if agreeing with her, "stupid, I was definitely stupid to think that you actually cared about me, that the both of you cared about me."

"We care about you," Rory said taking a step towards him.

"Not a safe distance, Ace, take a step back, I'm warning you," he said seriously. Rory looked at him a little scared.

"Logan please stop this, we didn't do any of this on purpose! We didn't come together and say 'hey! Wouldn't it be nice if we got together just to piss Logan off. Cause our lives will never be fulfilled until we hurt him and break his heart!'"

"Beautiful, Finn, that was just beautiful!" Logan said clapping his hands, "have you considered a career in acting? Cause I think you're a natural, you almost made me believe that you ACTUALLY GIVE A DAMN!"

"Well, I do give a damn, if I didn't I wouldn't be here trying to save this friendship!"

"Don't bother..."

"Logan..."

"You lied! To my face! I don't even know how many times! And now you're saying that you want to save this! You had your chance! From the very beginning of this little thing, I don't know what it is," he said pointing at Finn and Rory, "I asked you if you were falling for Rory, you said no! I asked a hundred times and you said no! You must think I'm an idiot to believe that I could ever forgive you."

"Logan, would it have made a difference if we had told you from the beginning?" Rory asked.

"Oh, don't even get me started on you, you little..."

"Watch it, Logan," Finn warned him.

"Well, he's already defending your honor! Got yourself a real gentleman there, Ace, not that you deserve though."

"Logan, I mean it!"

"What you gonna huh, Finn? Hit me? Punch me in the face? Breaking my heart wasn't enough? Betraying me didn't do it for you? You have to hit me too? Go ahead, finish your job!" Logan yelled.

"You really are irrational," Finn said shaking his head.

"I may be drunk, but I know what I'm talking about. And all I have to say to you now is that I don't mind if I don't ever have to talk to you again, if I don't ever have to see you again, either of you. I've never felt like this... How about that, huh, Ace? How does it feel to be the one person in my life that has made me feel two different and opposite emotions for the first time ever? Must feel pretty damn satisfying!" He said and walked inside his room slamming another door behind him.

"What just happened here?" Finn asked sitting down again.

"He hates us," was all Rory could say. She knelt down in front of him, her arms on his knees, her head resting on them and her eyes focused on Finn's face.

He looked at her for a while. "Maybe you should go," he said.

Rory raised her head in surprise, "you want me to leave?"

"Maybe it's better, I could try and talk to Logan alone, maybe he'll be less angry if he doesn't see you here."

"If you're sure..."

"I'll call."

"And I'll wait," she said raising herself up and kissing his forehead.

Finn watched her close the door behind her and laid down on the couch, his hands on his face. 'This was worst than I thought' he thought remembering their argument with Logan. He couldn't even say much during the whole thing, he was feeling so bad. Logan walked in on something he really did not have to witness and from then on things just got worse. He had been a bad friend. Not only had he fallen in love with Rory, the girl Logan was clearly still in love with, but he had lied about it. 'I should have told him before, I should have told him on the phone when I was in Stars Hollow,' Finn kept on thinking. Logan was like a brother to him and he just couldn't imagine living his life without his friend in it. But from the looks of it, he would have to start figuring out how to. 'No, I can't, I can't lose him, I can't let this friendship go down the drain just because of a girl.'

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Logan went into his room after the argument fighting his tears. He didn't want to cry, he wasn't going to cry. He had left to get drunk, see if that could make him feel better, but it didn't. His first sight as he opened the door was Rory leaning to kiss Finn. She was leaning! Not him! Finn looked devastated, more than Rory and that hurt him even more. He felt as if Rory didn't care, as if she didn't think it was wrong what she had done. 'It was wrong, wasn't it?' he thought reassuring to himself that indeed the two people he loved most in the world had betrayed him. He felt a little bad for Finn though, the guy really seemed to be suffering. 'But he brought this on to himself,' Logan thought. It pained him though. He cried when he realized that he hadn't just lost a girl, he had lost a friend and a brother too. He dried his tears angrily. 'They don't deserve this, neither of them.' Logan's thoughts were interrupted when he heard a slight knock on the door.

"Logan?"

"Fuck off!" was his response.

"Logan, I want to talk to you," Finn said knocking again.

"What part of fuck off don't you understand?" Logan answered irritated.

"Logan, come on, please let me in, I'm asking."

"Oh, well, as long as you're asking! Go away, Finn."

Finn opened the door. 'Damn it, I forgot to lock it again!' Logan thought turning his face to the window.

"I didn't come to apologize."

"You've come to rub it in?"

"I've come to explain, try to make you understand."

"I don't want to understand," he said still facing the window.

"I really like her, Logan."

"Oh, come on Finn! We both know that when you really like a girl it's only for a month, two at the most," Logan said now looking at Finn.

"It's different with her."

"And different how?"

"Just how it was like with you."

"Don't you compare your fling with my feelings for her!"

"It's not a fling! I like her, and I've liked her for a while now, it's not recent like everyone else thinks!" 'Uh-oh, should not have said that.'

"What? What do you mean by it's not recent?"

Finn sighed, "I've had some feelings for her since you guys were together, but I never acted on it, you know that."

"No, you were a real great friend and waited until I broke up with her to make your move! Get the hell out of my face, Finn!"

"No, Logan you have to understand! I would never jeopardize our friendship if it wasn't for real! You know I love you! You're my best friend! And I don't want to lose this friendship over a girl!"

"Too late for that now."

"No, Logan, please... believe me I tried, I really did. I thought about it hundreds of times, I thought about how you'd feel if you ever found out. I would never have acted on it if it had been just some girl. I've never done this, you know that."

"There's always a first."

"Logan, come on!"

"No, Finn, you come on! What do you expect? That I give you my blessing? That I tell you that's it's fine? It's not fine! I love her and you're my best friend! I can't see the two of you together, it hurts! Too much," Logan said, tears starting to roll down his face, "I thought of killing myself when I walked in your little tender scene moments ago, this shit hurts! And to think that you of all people could cause me this hurt, it just makes it worse."

"Logan," Finn said taking a step towards him.

"Same warning goes for you, not a safe distance, take a step back."

"I'll take my chances," Finn said taking another step forward.

"I'm serious Finn."

"Just hit me, punch me, I know you want to and if it's going to make you feel better just do it."

Logan didn't think twice and gathered all his strength on his right fist as it went straight into Finn's face. 'Ok, didn't think he'd do it, and ow!' were Finn's thoughts.

Finn looked up at him, bleeding in the lips, "better now?" he said cleaning the blood with his forearm.

"Not even close."

Finn sighed again, "I'll stay away from her if that's what you want."

"Oh, don't do me any favors!"

"I mean it Logan. It won't be easy, I like her, but it's to prove to you I'm serious about the two of us too."

"You're going to stay away from her? The girl you claim to like more than any other girl you've ever liked before."

"Yes."

"Than you don't like her."

"I said it wouldn't be easy. You're just as important to me as she is, but you've been in my life longer."

"OK."

"Ok, what?"

"I want you to stay away from her."

"You're serious?"

"You offered."

'Didn't think you'd take it,' Finn thought. "And you'll forgive me if I do that?"

"Just give some time."

Finn sighed and felt his heart shatter as he said "I'll do it then."

A/N: Ok, so I can hear the cursing and screaming from here! I know, I know, mean, stupid Finn, what the hell is he doing, blah, blah, blah... I'm sorry for this ending, it's not my fault! It just came out! I swear my fingers have a life of their own! Lol, just kidding, I just thought I'd make Finn act stupid for once. Why does Rory have to be the one always making bad choices and decisions? Let it be Finn this time! I hope you don't stop reading the story for this little tiny thing I did, please don't! And I'll ask you again, please review, even if it's just to call me bad things... actually I'd rather not get those, I'm very sensitive... hahaha. Seriously now, please review! Till the next update, byee!
