Rory opened the door to her house praying that her mom was home. She had just had the strangest day ever, and really needed her mom.
"Mom!"
"Kitchen!"
"Thank god!" Rory said and sat down on the chair next to her mom.
"What's up babe?"
"You know that cute boy that's moving into the Twickham house?"
"Yes, what about him?"
"Well he and his friends goes to Chilton, and I think I have a crush on him." Rory said and placed her head on the kitchen table. Lorelai started to stroke Rory's hair like she used to do when she was little.
"Rory, what about Dean?" she asked. Rory frowned and closed her eyes. She didn't know if she could answer that question. She loved Dean, but things hadn't been the same lately. She felt like Dean wanted her to spend all her time with him and nobody else. He got jealous when she was hanging out with Lane because he thought it meant that she didn't want to spend time with him. And one time when she had to stay at school to work on The Franklin he had called and left 16 messages on the machine at home and 11 on her cell phone. And when they were together Dean seemed distracted and everything felt forced, not natural as it used too.
"I don't know mom. Thing aren't as they used to be, he's gotten all protective and jealous, he doesn't even like that I'm spending time with Lane. The spark we used to have is gone."
"Look like you have your answer hun, just don't start anything with that other boy until you've sorted out this whole dean thing. Don't give him a reason to feel jealous. But I do agree with you, things with you and Dean have changed, 16 messages is a little too much." Lorelai said and continued to stroke Rory's hair. Truth be told she thought that Dean had gotten a little stalker-ish lately.
"Actually, it was 27 messages. He left 11 on my cell phone. I didn't tell you about those."
"I don't know if that's sweet or creepy"
"I think it's a little of both" Rory said.
"So, what are you going to do?"
"I guess I have to break up him, it's just... I've never done that before." Lorelai sighed and kissed Rory on the top of her head. Rory sat up and looked at her mom.
"What am I going to say?" she asked.
"Rory you'll find the words. If there's something you know, it's words and how to put them into sentences. You'll figure it out."
"Thanks mom. I'm going over there later, I just want to get some of my homework out of the way first." Rory said and kissed Lorelai's cheek.
"It's your first day back, how can you already have homework?"
"It's not due until Friday, but I just want to have it out of the way, in case we get more."
"Ok my little overachiever."

It was 8.15 (At night) and Rory had never been so nervous about seeing Dean before, she was playing with the hem of her shirt as she walked through the town towards his house. She had no idea how he would react, what he would say or do. She didn't even know how she was going to tell him that she wanted to break up. Before she knew it she was at his house, she paused before she walked up the stairs to the porch and knocked on the door. After waiting for at least five minutes Dean opened the door. Rory was surprised to see that he looked nervous, and the reporter in her told her that he was keeping something from her. She just didn't know what.

Logan was on his way to the movie theater when he saw her walking passed him, she seemed distracted and didn't even acknowledge him when he said hi. Something was wrong and he wanted to know what it was that was bothering her. The only way to find out was to follow her, he felt like a stalker, but he didn't care. She stopped in front of a house and he hid behind the neighbor's bushes. After five minutes he saw the door open and a male voice started to talk.
"Rory, what are you doing here?" the boy said.
"Ehm, I...I need to talk to you." she stuttered.
"What about?" the boy said and stepped out on the porch. 'wow that guy is tall' Logan thought.
"I don't really know how to say this...I don't think this is working anymore..." she said and looked at her feet.
"What's not working?"
"This, you and me. It's not like it used to be."
"Your breaking up with me!" The boy yelled. Even from his place in the bushes Logan could hear that the boy was drunk. the door opened and a girl walked out . 'this could get interesting' Logan thought.
"Deany what's going out here" the girl said in a very seductive voice. Logan glanced over at Rory, he saw her eyes go wide and her bottom lip started trembling. Logan felt himself getting angrier and angrier, he couldn't understand how someone could cheat on a girl like Rory, she was pure perfection.
"You...you're cheating on me" Rory almost whispered.
"Lindsay go inside." the girl did as she was told. "What was I supposed to do Rory? You were never around!"
"Never around? When was I not around?" Rory said, she sounded angry now.
"You were always doing homework or with Lane or your mother, or you would make up some excuse about that school paper you're on. No one can spend as much time at school as you claim that you do."
"Do you think I'm lying about school? About my homework? I would like to see you try to survive one week at my school. What do you expect from me? Do you seriously think that I will stop seeing my MOTHER and my BEST friend just because I have a boyfriend? And the paper thing, lets just day that there's a reason The Franklin is the best high school paper on the east coast!" Rory was yelling now. 'who the hell does this guy think he is? Prince William?' Logan thought.
"You never wanted to spend time with me!"
"I spent every free moment with you Dean! And if you really cared about me you would know how much school means to me, and how hard Chilton is. The homework we get in one day, would be the same amount as you get in one week at Stars Hollow high! And dean seriously, calling and leaving 27 messages in one day when you knew I had a meeting at The Franklin is a little sick."
"I just wanted to know where you were."
"Where I was? You knew where I was. Oh my god! You were with her weren't you? You called to make it look like you were thinking about me, but in reality you were with her. And you just called to make sure that I wasn't coming home anytime soon, I can't believe I actually thought you cared about me."
"I do care about you Rory. But you were never around, and you never wanted to take the next step in our relationship!"
"So this is about sex! That was low. You're not the guy I fell in love with anymore!" Logan had walked a little down the street so it wouldn't seem like he had been hiding when he decided to make an appearance.
"Well it doesn't matter anymore does it? I'm not your boyfriend anymore so get the hell of my porch!" Dean said and pushed her, Rory wasn't expecting it so she lost her balance and fell. Her palm hit a nail that was coming up from the porch. She winched in pain but didn't make a sound.
"Get up and get the hell off my porch" Dean yelled and raised his arm to hit her, but Logan stopped him.
"I swear to god if you touch her ever again I will castrate you very slow and very painful. Understand?" Logan said and pushed Dean into the wall, when Logan had seen Dean push Rory he had sprinted up to the house before
things got out of hand.
"And who are you? Her knight in shining armor?"
"You can call me whatever you want as long as you stay away from her. Got it?" Dean nodded "So I suggest you go back in to your blond and leave us alone" Dean did as he was told, and Logan went over to Rory to help her up. She looked up at him with big blue eyes filled with pain and his heart broke. At that moment he knew that he was falling for her.
"Hey, you ok?" he asked.
"It hurts so much" she said and finally let the tears fall.
"I know, but he was a bastard" Logan said.
"Not that, my hand, it got hurt when I fell" she said as more tears streamed down her face. She had only known the guy for a day, but she still felt like she could trust him.
"Let me see" Logan said gently. Rory held out the arm that had gotten hurt and Logan gasped.
"Rory, we need to stop the bleeding and get that stitched up." Logan said. She had gotten a large, deep cut on her right hand.
"You live nearby?"
"It's not far but nothing here is so I guess yes, but it'll take a few minutes to walk there."
"Ror you're loosing a lot of blood, got anywhere closer we can go?"
"There's always Luke's" she said.
"The diner?" Logan asked confused.
"Yes, Luke is like a dad to me. Let's go there" she said and stood up, but she immediately regretted it. She was dizzy and had trouble standing up. Logan was at her side at once and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You ok?"
"Just a little dizzy, I'll be fine" Logan just nodded as they made they're way over to Luke's, leaving a pool of blood at Dean's porch.
With one arm he steadied Rory and with the other one he knocked frantically at the diners door, Rory was getting paler and he was starting to get worried. After a little while the man called Luke came into view, when he saw that a very pale Rory was outside he felt his heart beginning to beat faster. He prayed to god that she was alright and that he just imagined her looking all pale and weak. He opened the door and let the kids come in.
"She's hurt" Logan said with a worried voice.
"Where?"
"Right hand."
"Luke I want mom." Rory whispered.
"I know Rory, I'll call her. We just have to put on this bandage first and stop the bleeding from the cut ok?"
"ok" she said barely above a whisper.
"I can do it. Call her mom" Logan said and took the bandage out of Luke's hand. Luke nodded and walked over to the phone. Rory had sat down on one of the chairs she had gotten even paler. Logan carefully, but tightly wrapped the bandage around Rory's hand. When he was done he walked up to Luke who was talking with Rorys mom on the phone.
"Luke she needs to go to the hospital" Luke tool one glance at Rory and nodded.
"Lorelai, I don't know what happened, all I know is that Rory is here and she's not looking good, we need to take her to the hospital"
"Hang on...do you have a car?" he asked Logan.
"Yes"
"The boy has a car, I'm sure he'll let you drive with him. I have a feeling that he's coming with us" he said and looked and Logan who nodded.
"Ok see you in a few minutes" he said and hung up.
"Luke take Rory to the hospital, we'll meet you there." Logan said. Luke nodded and went over to Rory.
"Rory...we're going to drive to the hospital ok. Your mom and...?"
"Logan" Logan said.
"Your mom and Logan will meet us there." Luke said and picked up Rory before he carried her out to his truck. A few minutes after he left the door flew open and Rorys mom ran in.
"Where is she?"
"Luke already left" Logan said. Lorelai looked like she was about to start crying and Logan had absolutely no idea what to say to her.
"she'll be alright, she got a cut on her hand and lost a lot of blood"Logan said, I was the only thing he could come up with. Lorelai looked at the boy in front of her, it was the same boy that Rory talked about earlier, the one from the Twickham house. He'd better not have hurt her.
"What the hell happened?"
"I'll tell you on the way to the hospital. Lets just go get m car." he said. And together they walked towards the Twickham house. Or as it should be called now the Huntzberger house.
