A/N: Sorry about the wait, but it's been crazy around here. I was sick for a while, and I have other stuff, and, well, sorry for the long wait. For all of you who've been waiting for some Rogan, you shouldn't be too disappointed. I'm not sure exactly where I'm going after this chapter, so it might be a little while before my next post. PLEASE review! It's really awesome to get feedback on my writing, and I am more likely to update if I get reviews!
Chapter 5Rory just sat there for a minute, motionless. She couldn't believe what she had just read.
"Oh my God," she muttered.
"Oh my God what?" Paris asked as she walked into the room.
"Nothing, I, I have to go!" She raced out the door, leaving Paris standing in the middle of the room, alone. She turned and was about to go back into her room when she saw a folded letter on the table. She opened it and started reading. Meanwhile…
Rory raced around campus, looking for Logan. Where is he? She though to herself after looking for quite some time. Where would I go if I were him? She thought for a moment before turning and heading towards a little stand in a secluded corner of Yale. She got there after a few minutes and spotted the familiar blonde, sitting on a bench, staring into space. She watched him for a minute, trying to get her words together in her mind, so that she didn't sound like a complete fool when she tried to speak. But she couldn't figure out what she wanted to say to him. After all this time of trying to avoid him and get away from him, how was she going to explain why she'd come after him? Maybe leaving him alone was the best idea…Maybe I should just let him be. She turned away, took a step from him, but stopped herself. She'd come this far, she'd admitted to herself that she was attracted to him. She wasn't about to walk away, not after everything that he'd done. She turned back, and saw that he'd risen from the bench and was now leaning over a nearby railing, facing away. The sky was dark, but the stars that inhabited it shone brightly against their dark backdrop. He looked…cold, the way he was rocking back and forth slightly, like he was trying to warm himself up, but she knew that he couldn't be. She wasn't cold, and she was wearing less than he was. It took her a minute to realize that he was crying. Crying. Tough guy Logan Huntzberger was crying…over her. She took a deep breath, and decided to start talking before she chickened out.
"Logan?" Her voice came out so soft that she wasn't sure if he'd heard it. He hadn't turned or acknowledged her at all, so she had no way of knowing.
"Logan?" She asked a little louder this time, and still no response. She was pretty sure that he'd heard her, and decided to just keep talking.
"Logan, I am so sorry about all of this. I never meant to hurt you, I just…"
He interrupted her without turning around or moving at all. "You just what, Rory? You just decided to keep ignoring me, even though you knew how I felt about you? How was that supposed to make me feel? Was I not supposed to be hurt by that? Did you think that I had no feelings at all or something?"
"That's not it, Logan." She was surprised at the intensity of his tone. "I just thought…"
"Did you really think about what this would do to me, Ror? Did you think about how I would feel? No, I don't think you did. Or maybe you did, and you just didn't care. Maybe you never really cared about me. Was this all one big game to you, or something? God, I let myself care about you, because I thought that if you saw that then you would maybe give me a chance, but I guess I was wrong."
She stood there in shock, surprised at his words. She felt tears forming in her eyes, but she didn't try to stop them. She let them come, along with the guilt she felt for hurting Logan like this, and the pain that his words had brought upon her. She didn't want him to think of her as some selfish brat who didn't care about anyone else. Because that was far from the truth. She cared about him, but she was afraid that now he would never let her in. Now that she had hurt him, he would probably never trust her. But she was not about to give up.
"Logan, you're…"
"No. Don't tell me that I'm a great guy, but… Don't give me that crap. That's why you came isn't it. You don't want to feel bad about this, so you came to give me some line about how I'm sweet but that we should be friends."
She took a slow, quiet step towards him. She moved until she was standing right behind him.
"That's not what I came to give you," she said in a teary whisper. He turned, startled at her sudden closeness. He looked into her eyes, the fiery blue flames that he had admired for so long. He reached a shaky hand out and wiped a tear away from her face. He returned his hand to the side of her face.
"Oh?" He inquired, his voice shaky. "Then what is it?"
She didn't say another word, but answered him with her actions. She leaned forward slightly, then stopped, so close that he could feel her breath of his lips. He looked at her, a question in his eyes. She nodded ever so slightly, and he closed the distance between them. At the first touch of their lips, he felt like fire had replaced the blood in his veins. He was so incredibly overwhelmed at that one simple touch that he pulled away slightly, breathing hard. He looked at her, trying to figure out what she was feeling. Her face was blank for a second, but a slow smile soon overcame it. She leaned towards him again, and he let his feelings take over. Rory soon felt the tip of his tongue on her lips, and she parted them, deepening the kiss. As she felt his tongue exploring every inch of her mouth, she was amazed at how well he seemed to know her. She had never felt anything like it before. He wrapped his hands around her slim waist. When they finally broke apart, he tightened his grasp on her and pulled her into a tight embrace, her hands around his neck.
"Don't let go," she whispered.
"Never," he promised her.
A/N. Now, I could end it here and make it all happy-ending, but I have another idea in my head that I could continue the story with. However, it is a bit more sad, but…I don't know. Should I just leave it like this or continue with my other ending? PLEASE review!
