A/N: Another update so soon! You guys are spoiled!
Thanks again for the reviews, y'all keep me going!
Logan drove as quickly as he possibly could to his house. He stormed straight to his father's study, slamming the door loudly behind him. When he entered, his dad was on the phone.
"…all you have… I know it's not great."
"Dad." Logan said as calmly as he could.
Mitchum covered the mouthpiece of the phone with his hand. "Just a minute, Logan." Then back into the receiver, "But it's all you have, John. Just print it."
"Dad." Logan said louder.
Mitchum covered the phone again. "Logan, please." He removed his hand. "You can't have a hole in the middle of your paper."
Logan stepped up to the desk and swiftly removed the phone from his father's hand. "I'm very sorry, John, but Mitchum here is gonna have to call you back." And he hung up the phone.
"Logan, what the hell-"
"Why'd you do that to her, dad?"
"Do what to who, Logan? I'm smart, but I'm not a mind reader."
"You told Rory she wasn't good enough."
"I told her the truth, Logan. She needs to learn to put herself out there if she's going to be a journalist."
"Well, your so-called constructive criticism is making her drop out of Yale."
"What? A simple comment shouldn't be enough to push her out of college."
"You told her she didn't have it. She didn't know what to do. She's wanted to be a journalist all her life and in one fell swoop those dreams were gone."
"Logan-"
"I hope you're happy. Cause if your intention was to hurt my girlfriend, job well done." And with that, he turned on his heel and left the Huntzburger home.
Rory waited up for hours after her call to Logan. She fell asleep sitting on the couch. The phone rang late that night, but Rory didn't wake. Logan didn't leave a message.
Minutes later, Logan was at her door. He knocked lightly, and when no one came to the door, he retrieved the spare key from under the doormat. Quietly, he entered the room. He saw Rory sleeping peacefully on the couch. Smiling, he picked her up and carried her to the bed. Without dropping her, might I add. She was heavier than he'd thought.
When he set her down, she woke up. Seeing Logan, she sat up in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"You didn't answer the phone." He said, taking off his jacket. "So I came over."
She laid back, and he laid down next to her. "What did say to your dad?"
"Shh. Just go back to sleep. We'll talk about it in the morning."
The next morning, Lorelai went to the inn, but her mind wasn't on work. She was busy wondering what Luke was planning for Saturday. A whole week was an awfully long time to wait. Especially for her.
Rory awoke the next morning alone. She turned to where Logan had been the night before to find a note.Ace-
I know I said we'd talk, but I had to finish packing. We're not all as organized as you. I figured this was the next best thing.
I know you want to know what I told Mitchum. I just told him I was mad and that you were dropping out of Yale. There was a lot of yelling involved, and I'm not sure I'll be seeing him any time soon. But it was worth it. He shouldn't have said those things.
I'll see you soon.

Rory smiled. Maybe things would turn out alright after all. At least she still had Logan.
Arg, short again, I know. And I promise, more L/L next chapter. I just had to get this out of the way. The good stuff is coming up!
Review!
