A/N: Kind of hitting a writer's block on not just this story but ALL of them. Anyone have any ideas? I'm willing to consider just about anything.

After Rory woke up and recognized her surroundings she drifted back to sleep in the only arms that made her feel that secure.

When she woke up the second time, she found herself still in Finn's bed, but with no Finn. She looked around and saw that he had made his side of the bed but left no note or anything.

Rory sighed and gave up her last hope of being with him. This obviously showed that he didn't want it on a more permanent level.

She silently got dressed and made the rest of the bed.

"Hi guys…bye guys," she said when she went into the common room and saw Colin and some other guys, including Logan, sitting there.

"Hey Ace…didn't know you were here. You want some breakfast or something?" Logan asked looking up.

"No thanks…I'm just gonna go back to my room," she declined.

He nodded and smiled at her and the friendliness of the gesture warmed her heart. She really did want to be friends with Logan and until that moment, she hadn't been sure it was possible.

"You want me to walk you back?" Logan asked when he saw her hesitancy.

"Thanks but you guys seem busy," Rory said smiling shyly and leaving the room.

She had taken only a few steps when she heard the door open and close again.

"Ace, wait for me," Logan called and took a few quick strides before matching his pace to hers.

"You didn't have to leave," she said.

"I wanted to make sure you were okay. You looked upset," he explained.

Rory shrugged not sure how much she should say to him.

"All that stuff is behind us now, I swear," Logan assured her as if reading her thoughts.

"Fine. It's just Finn asked me to be exclusive and I said no. Then I realized that that's what I actually wanted, I tried to take back my no but he wouldn't hear of it. So last night we hooked up-obviously-and I thought it might be okay between us. But this morning when I woke up he wasn't there," she explained.

"He left like 15 minutes before you got up…I don't know where he was going though," Logan offered.

"It's okay," Rory said and smiled somewhat pathetically.

"Call any of us if you need anything," Logan said and kissed her cheek before leaving her at her door.

"Where were you?" Colin asked when Finn came back into the room while Logan was walking Rory back to her room.

"Getting coffee to hopefully smooth things over," Finn said and went into his room.

"Where is she?" Finn asked coming back out almost immediately.

"She went home," Colin replied glancing up at him.

Finn sighed and sat down looking extremely downcast. When the door opened, he looked up hoping that it was her, but it was only Logan.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Logan asked staring at him.

"Wrong with me?" Finn asked confused.

"Yeah you. You're such an ass! How the hell could you hurt her like that? She didn't want me, that's fine but you didn't need to crush her!" Logan yelled, spitting mad.

Finn stood up. "What the bloody hell are you talking about?"

"You fucked her then left! It was your room Finn and you left her there alone! What asshole does that when he knows she wants to be with him?" Logan ranted not making much sense to any of the other guys but Finn.

"I went to ge-" Finn started.

Before he could finish Logan's hand had connected with his nose and Finn could feel it break.

"Huntz, stop," Colin said trying to intervene.

"He had no fucking right!" Logan yelled trying to push Colin out of the way and hit the bleeding Finn again.

"He went to get her coffee," Colin told him.

Logan immediately pulled back. "That's it?"

"That's it. She woke up while he was gone," Colin said bending over Finn.

Logan sat down in the closest chair and put his head in his hands.

"Call Stephanie," Colin requested not knowing what to do. Steph was always there when they beat each other up and took care of everything.

Logan did and sat there silently until Steph arrived. She herded the three boys into Logan's SUV and instructed Colin to drive them to the emergency room.

"What happened?" Steph asked sitting down next to Logan in the waiting room.

"I hit him," Logan said simply.

Steph just stared at him waiting for more.

"I was pissed at him for stealing Ace and for hitting me. Then she came out of his room and I found out they hooked up last night and he left her in his bed alone. She was really upset so I came back and took out all the anger and hit him," Logan said after a moment.

"He left her there alone?" Steph asked and Logan could see the annoyance in her eyes.

"Yeah, but he just left to get her coffee," he sighed.

"Does she know what happened?" Steph asked.

Logan shook his head.

"I'll take a cab. Call me when you guys get back," she said and left without a backward glance.

Rory was laying on the couch just thinking about everything when a knock sounded on the door.

She opened it and found Stephanie standing there.

"Hey Ror…you okay?" Steph said coming in and shutting the door behind her.

Rory just shrugged. She was so drained emotionally that she didn't know how else to respond.

"Okay I have to tell you what happened," Steph began. Rory looked at her sharply but she plowed on. "Logan went back to Colin and Finn's room and hit Finn. His nose is broken and we had to take him to the hospital to get it set but he's going to be okay."

"Why did Logan hit him?" Rory asked but she had a feeling that she already knew the answer.

"Because he left you alone this morning and no one deserves that," Stephanie sighed.

Rory felt a tear slip down her cheek. "Why doesn't he want me?"

"He does…he really does," Steph tried to comfort her.

"No he doesn't!" Rory muttered.

"But he does. The reason he wasn't there this morning when you woke up is because he left to get you coffee for when you woke up," Steph said.

Rory stared at her not knowing what to say.

"Colin…is Finn here?" Rory asked walking straight into their common room without bothering to knock.

Colin muttered something but Rory couldn't hear him.

"Where is he Colin?" Rory pressed.

"He went back to Australia to think about everything," Colin sighed.

"He's in Australia?" Rory asked horrified.

Colin nodded regretfully.

"Ace…I'm so sorry," Logan started.

Rory just smiled tearfully at him and left the room not stopping until she collapsed into her bed in Stars Hollow with her mother comforting her.

"Babe…if you want him that much then go get him," Lorelai advised.

"Mom…he's in Australia. I can't get him," Rory pointed out.

"Why not?"

"Because he's in Australia," Rory said again.

"So?" Lorelai asked.
