An: Okay, no outfits on my blog for this chapter cuz it's late and i'm tired. The only motivation I have is the reviews. I love all my Dean haters. :sighs: It's reviews like that that keep me going.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Rory

Rory glanced around the pub for Dean. He wasn't there yet apparently. She decided to just take a seat and wait. He was always early. The fact that he was late worried her. She was unsure of their relationship. She cared about Dean, it's just that she met so many well-read people here at Yale that Dean seemed, well, (An: Like trash! Die Dean!) average. Great, her mind went back to Professor Huntzberger again. It actually didn't help at all when he walked right through the pub doors.

Logan

Logan walked into the pub. He was ready to get his mind off of Rory. Dammit, he thought as he made eye contact with her. She looked great too. She's a student though. No real law since she's over eighteen but still wrong. Very, very wrong. Too bad his emotions weren't listening to his mind at this particular moment. He walked over to Rory's table. (AN: Ladies and gentlemen, the long awaited R/L interaction.)

"Hey Ace." Logan greeted her warmly. She smiled and looked up. She blushed too. Wow, he loved her blush. It was so easy to get one out of her too.

"Hey Professor Hun--" Logan put his hand up to cut her off.

"No, please, call me Logan." Rory felt uncomfortable at first but brushed it off.

"Logan." Rory said and smiled.

"So, what brings you here this Friday evening?"

"Oh, well, I actually have a date," Rory glanced at her watch, " he's late though." Logan felt a pang of jealousy was it? Nah, couldn't be. Heartburn, that's what it is.

"Well, i'll leave you to your date." Logan said walking away. Rory stopped him though.

"No, please keep me company?" There was that blush again. How could he say no to that? That's right he couldn't.

"Alright."

"So, I could ask you the same thing. What are you doing here? This is usually a student pub. Well, I mean the Professors don't usually, I mean--" Logan chuckled at her fumbling over her words at a desperate attempt not to offend him.

"It's alright. I was overwhelmed after grading so many papers. I just needed a break." Rory and Logan engaged in conversation for another ten minutes. They had the same taste in music, movies, books. It was amazing. They were having a great time when Dean walked in, er, stumbled in. Rory noticed him come through the door and met him half way. She gave him a kiss on the cheek. Logan saw this as the time for him to leave. He went back to the penthouse. Back to grading papers.

Rory

Rory gave Dean a kiss on the cheek. That was right until he slapped her. The pub was crowded so nobody really noticed. Then Dean grabbed her by her hair and drug her out of the pub. When they got out of the pub Dean threw Rory down. ROry was crying by this time.

"Who was that guy you were talking to! Were you cheating on me!" Dean yelled while slurring ridiculously.

"No Dean, that's ridiculous! He's one of my professors!" Rory screeched.

"Really? I always figured you slept your way to the top!" Rory couldn't control her anger. She slapped him straight across the face. Big mistake. Dean gripped Rory by her hair again. He pulled her face close to his. "You listen to me, you will do what I say. I'm in control now." Dean whispered. Rory cries couldn't be heard from the drunken fun of Friday night on campus.

Logan

It was about two hours later. Logan had changed back into his Pajama pants and a white T-shirt that coincidently showed off his six pack. He needed nourishment. Ben and Jerry. There was a little market right next to the pub so he just walked over. It seemed like a nice night. He was walking through a courtyard when her heard faint crying. Then what he saw next broke his heart. Rory was slumped up against a wall on the ground. She was crying, and, she was bloody.

"Ace!"

"Logan, just go. I'm fine." Rory said in a small but stubborn voice.

"What the hell, Rory? I'm kneeling here looking at you. You're not fine. Let me take you to the hospital." Logan said.

"No, Logan just go. It's not your concern." Rory said breaking down into tears again. Logan pulled her against his body for support.

"Shhh, it's okay, Ace."

"It's not a big deal." Logan couldn't believe what he was hearing. This girl said it as if it wasn't a big deal. It was as if she truly believed it.

"Rory," Logan said cupping her beaten face into his warm loving hands," are you saying you deserved this?" Rory shook her head.

"It was my fault though."

"Rory! It was not your fault. I'm taking you to the hospital. You can tell me what happened on the way." Logan said as he picked her up in his arms. She was shaking. He took her over to his SUV. He put her in the passenger seat and put a blanket on her. It was to make her feel safe. He had taken a few trauma phychology classes in college.

"Okay, i'll tell you what happened."

"Alright." Logan said not taking his eyes off the road. He either wanted to drive safe or he couldn't bear to see her frail body.

"Dean, my boyfriend," that statement alone made his eyes cloud over in anger," he thought I was cheating on him. He thought I was cheating with you. I could smell the alcohol on his breath. I told him it was ridiculous, that you were one of my professors. He said that I slept my way to the top. I slapped him. He beat me. The end." Rory tried to stifle the crying but she couldn't.

They got to the hospital. Rory was in examination. Logan was worried sick. He held his head in his hands. He heard the sound of the doctor's heels coming in the waiting room.

"Professor Huntzberger." The doctor said.

"Yes?" Logan said standing up.

"Well, I just examined Miss Gilmore. She decided to file charges against Dean Forrestor. She has bruises a slight contusion, stitches in her shoulder and we just got done with her rape kit."

"Wait, wait, back up. A rape kit?"

"Yes."The doctor said.

"She didn't tell me she was raped!"

"She was very upset. She cryed hysterically through the whole thing."

"Oh my god." Logan whispered. The doctor approached him and took a seat motioning to the seat next to her.

"Professor Huntzberger can I speak to you on a personal level for a minute?"Logan sat down next to her.

"Yes, of course, Dr. Thesing."

"A lot of women act very differently after being raped. They feel violated. They feel helpless. She probably neglected to tell you because she would feel even weaker. I bet she didn't want you to take her to the hospital at first. Correct?" LOgan nodded. "Give her time. I didn't tell her I told you about the rape. With this Dean fella out and about tonight it would be safe for Rory to stay somewhere safer just in case. Are you handling that?"

"Yes, she will stay with me. I wont say anything about the rape until she tells me. Thanks for the advice doctor." Dr. Thesing smiled.

"No problem."

An: Well, the whole "Do you think you deserved to be treated that way" thing came from some life experience. My teacher told me that when I was being picked on some years back. So, thoughts? Review!

Coming up in next chapters--
