Logan only awoke when sun shined brightly in his eyes, rolling over expecting to find Rory still asleep, he was surprised when all he felt was the sheet. Last nights events came flooding back and he remembered seeing Tristan and then Rory running out in tears. He was still burning inside with curiosity, at what kind of painful past Tristan and Rory had. Getting up he walked into the common room to find Rory on the couch with a cup of coffee in hand.

Rory had been in such deep thought that she didn't even realize that Logan had sat down next to her until he kissed her cheek. She had been thinking that after all this time Tristan had showed up in her life again. She had wallowed for many weeks and she had a very hard time getting over him. He had caused her so much pain and it was very hard to get over him. She snapped out of her thoughts when Logan started calling her name.

"Ace……. Rory!" Logan called

"Yeah"

"Do you want to talk?"

"No, I think that I'm going to take a shower." Rory answered simply

And with that she walked into the bathroom. At that very moment Paris came trudging out of her room.

"Hi Paris" Greeted Logan

"Huntzberger" Paris answered coldly

Suddenly Logan got an idea. Paris and Rory had known each other in their high school days, so maybe Paris knew Tristan.

"Paris…." Logan hesitated, "do you know a Tristan Dugrey?"

"Yeah, but I wouldn't mention that name to Rory."

"Well she saw him and burst into tears and I was wondering if you knew why."

"Yes and I'm one of the only ones, but its not really my place to say. Tristan caused Rory great pain and seeing him again must have been awful."

"Oh" was all Logan could say.

Tristan had waited up half the night for Logan, but at 2:30 he decided to call it a night. He woke up at around 10:00 and expected Logan to be in his room, but it was empty. Just then Logan's roommate, Colin, walked through the door after and apparent night of partying. Tristan and Colin had met before, but never sober so Tristan didn't know if Colin would remember him.

"Hey Colin, its Tristan."

"Aw Dugrey, long time no see!"

"Yeah its been a while huh?"

"Yeah it has, so are you looking for Logan because he's probably at reporter girls room. Man he has never done this commitment thing before, but he sure can get the hang of it. Reporter girl is all he talks about."

"Reporter girl?" Tristan asked

"Yeah…..aw….Rory Gilmore."

"Oh right," Tristan said obviously, "do you know where her dorm is?"

"Yeah its in Branford…. Number 4 I think."

"Okay thanks."

Rory had just gotten out of the shower and was getting dressed. She wanted to go out and get some coffee, but didn't want to risk running into Tristan again.

"Logan, umm could you go and get me some coffee?"

"Yeah, sure, I'll be back soon."

While out getting Rory's coffee Logan's mind kept wandering to what kind of horrible past Tristan and Rory had together. Logan really cared for Rory and he didn't like to see her all upset. All he hoped was that Tristan and Rory didn't have a Romantic past because he didn't know if he could compete with Tristan.

Tristan finally found Rory's dorm and knocked on the door. Boy was he nervous. He didn't know why though because him and Rory were over, right. Maybe he was nervous because Rory was still holding a grudge to him and not likely to forgive him anytime soon. Suddenly the door swung open…..

"Logan I told you, you don't have to knock……" She stopped in mid-sentence when she noticed that it wasn't Logan there, but Tristan.

"Tristan, what are you doing here?" Rory asked coldly.

"I wanted to know if you were okay and if Logan was here."

"Well Logan's not here and why wouldn't I be okay?"

"Hey I'm right here" Logan said while walking into the dorm with coffee in hand.

"Tristan what are you doing here" asked Logan

"Yeah I'm wondering the same thing." Rory replied

"Like I said I was looking for Logan."

"Well you found him now go." Rory said rather coldly.

"Alright Ace here is your coffee," he gave her a kiss and handed it to her, "I guess we'll get going."

"So you and Mary huh?" Tristan asked curiously. He desperately wanted to know how serious they were.

"Yup, we've been going out exclusively for about a year now." Logan stated matter a factly.

"Oh"

"Yeah, so you and Ace?"

"I probably shouldn't be the one to ask that question to."

"Why?"

"Because I'm the one who did the damage and gave her a broken heart."

"Why won't anyone ever tell me what happened between you two?"

"Because it caused both of us great pain and I don't think either of us want to talk about it." And with that he walked off.
