Hey! My reviewers are the best people ever! I don't think I'd ever update if you guys weren't encouraging this story! Thanks so much : )

I know most of you wanted the LDB in here but I am having a few difficulties coming up with something new and creative to do with it. Suggestions are welcome!

So lets got on with the story shall we…


When Rory and Logan got back to the house around 6 o'clock. Lorelai, Luke, Finn, Colin and Steph were all watching movies.

"What are you watching?" Rory asked sitting down next to her mother. "Playing by Heart." Steph answered handing a bowl of Gummy bears.

"Is that the one with Ryan Phillippe Angelina Jolie and Anthony Edwards as a Priest?" Rory questioned. Lorelai nodded.

"It's the end." Rory observed. "Thank god!" Luke said as the movie ended. "You don't like John Stewart Pre-daily Show?" Colin asked.

Luke shook his head. "Me either" Colin agreed. "So what time are you kids heading back tomorrow?" Lorelai asked. "Probably around ten. I've got some school work to do plus I have to finish my article for the YDN Doyle's called my cell six times already." Rory's tone was annoyed

"Alright, Well I am going to go to Luke's for the night again. Leave mommy a note or call me or something when you leave. It was nice to see and meet all of you again. Bye sweets." Lorelai said kissing Rory's head and leaving.

"Again I say, She has a lot of trust to leave five college students alone in her house." Finn reiterated from last night. "She's a very trustful person which means we are not going to do anything to ruin her trust." Rory said eyeing Finn.

"Love, I am hurt you would even assume that I would do something to make you loose your trustworthiness." Finn put his hand to his chest in mock hurt.

"So how was lunch with the Huntzberger's" Colin asked ignoring Finns last comment. "Oh it was great. If you like my parents sucking up, My grandfather trying to cover it up the fact that they were sucking up and my sister pointing out that they were sucking up." Logan said.

"That bad?" Steph asked. "It wasn't bad. I learned that Logan's grandfather and my great grandmother used to date. Which is probably a good thing they didn't get married because then we'd be related and What we are doing would be incest. Oh and I made a shopping date with Honor that Steph, Your invited to." Rory explained.

"Let just watch movies. I'm pretty tired and from the look on Colin's face it looks like Mom put you guys to work at the inn." Rory laughed.

"Yes, She did! I had to carry things and fix things. It was horrible!" Colin whined. "Actually, It was pretty fun. I got to work at the desk with Michel. I messed up his post-it note system and he wigged out. It was hilarious." Steph told Rory.

"What about you Finn?" Rory asked. "I got to help Sookie!" He exclaimed. "You were a waiter weren't you?" Rory concluded.

"Yes. I made eight dollars in tips." Finn said proudly. "Well I'm proud of all of you. You three for working at the inn and Logan for not wigging out at his parents house. You all get a cookie."

"Literally or Figuratively?" Colin questioned. "There are cookies in the Kitchen so it all depends on how Lazy you are." Rory stated.

The group watched movies and talked the rest of the night. Around one o'clock they all went to bed. Rory was awake this time and walked up to her mothers room with Logan following.


Rory was already in her pajamas and Logan stripped down to his boxers. "I don't know how guys sleep in their underwear. I would get cold." Rory said sitting on the bed watching him fold his clothes neatly.

"You've never slept naked?" Logan asked. Rory shook her head. "Not even after sex?" Rory blushed she knew the topic of sex would come up with Logan eventually.

"To be honest I only slept with Tristan three times and all three times I don't think I ever slept after it." she told him.

"I see. Ror, I know the topic of sex is going to be a little strange for us but I don't want it to be awkward." Logan said sitting next to her. "I want you to be able to talk to me and vice versa."

"I want that to." she whispered leaning her head on his shoulder. "So this morning, Sorry if I pushed your boundaries." Logan apologized.

"Logan I would have told you to stop if I had wanted you to. And believe me I didn't want you to." Rory said causing Logan to smile.

"You promise you'll tell me when you don't want to do something?" He asked her. She nodded. "Good." He leaned forward and kissed her she got under the covers and cuddled into him.

"I could get used to this." Rory whispered. "I already have." Logan told her back. "Night Ace."

"Night Logan." Rory said before she fell asleep in Logan's arms.


They had gotten back to Yale around one thirty. Rory had originally intended to leave by ten but no one got up till eleven and Finn wouldn't get off the couch till twelve and that was only after promising him a beer for the car ride back.

Rory and Steph got back to their dorm Steph was in the bathroom when Rory played the phone messages.

"Rory, It's Tristan. I called your Cell but you changed your number. I call your mom's house but she told me to 'Fuck Off'. So this is my last resort. Please just call me back. It's the same number." The messaged played.

Rory stood in front of the machine shocked. "Who was that?" Steph asked coming out of the bathroom. "Oh, um my grandfather. Wanted to tell me he got a book I was looking for." Rory lied. She couldn't tell Steph because she knew she'd tell Colin and Colin would definitely tell Logan.

"Oh, Alright. I'm going to go over to Colin's and leave you to study in peace." Steph said getting her purse and leaving. "Call me if you need anything."

"Ok, Bye." Rory said still staring at the machine. She replayed the message at least ten times. Rory knew she shouldn't call him but she wanted to know why he cheated, She needed to know why before she could get on with her life.

Rory picked up her dorm phone so he couldn't trace her cell number back and dialed an all to familiar number. "Hello?" The voice on the other line said.

"Tristan? It's Rory." She said quietly. "Rory, Thanks for calling me back. I need to see you. I have to talk to you. I miss you." Tristan begged.

Rory could tell he wasn't drunk this time and she knew she shouldn't agree to it but she had to know and she didn't want to ask him over the phone. "Fine. Two Thirty tomorrow at the Coffee shop a block away from Chilton." Rory's tone was cold as she gave him instructions.

"Thank you." Tristan sounded grateful. "Bye." Rory hung up the phone and began to cry. She didn't know why she agreed. She needed closure and she knew if she didn't get it she'd just be sabotaging her relationship with Logan.

Rory was sitting on the couch watching 'The notebook' and eating ice cream. When her cell phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and it was Logan. "Hello?" Rory said sniffling.

She had been crying partly because of the movie and partly because she didn't understand why she felt like she had to see Tristan again.

"Ace? You ok?" Logan's voice was filled with concern. "Yeah, I'm watching The Notebook. You know me, I cry at sad movies." Rory assured him.

"Ok, I was just calling to see how your studying was coming along because well now that I am your boyfriend I really don't need a reason to call now do I?" He asked. Rory could tell by his tone he was so happy they were together.

She was happy to she wanted to be with Logan. He was different than anyone she had ever met and she didn't want to start out her new relationship by lying to him but she knew if she told him that she was meeting Tristan he'd flip out.

"No, I guess you don't need a reason to call me anymore do you." She smiled just hearing his voice comforted her. "Well your ok and content watching your movie. So I'll let you go. Talk to you later."

"Bye." Rory said turning off her phone. She didn't want him to call again. She didn't want to lie to him again.


The next day went by quickly Rory went to her first class. She didn't turn her phone on and she didn't leave Steph a note. She didn't want anyone to know where she was.

Rory walked into the coffee shop cautiously to see Tristan sitting there. He got up to hug her but she pushed him away. "What now that your at Yale your to good for me?" Tristan asked bitterly.

"Listen Tristan. We can't go back to the way we were. I don't want to. I'm happy now, I just need to ask you why." Rory stated harshly.

"Why what?" Tristan was confused. "Why you cheated. Why I wasn't good enough." Rory clarified. Tristan shrugged. "I don't have a reason. You were so naïve. You believed anything I told you so I figured I could get away with it. You know have my cake and eat it to."

"Good to know." Rory said sarcastically. "That's all I wanted to know. Goodbye." Rory turned on her heel but he grabbed her arm.

"Rory, I was stupid I shouldn't have thought like that. I need you in my life." Tristan pleaded. "Listen, I'm with someone else. Someone who won't use my naive ness as you so kindly put it against me." Rory huffed trying to get out of his grasp.

Tristan practically pulled Rory out of the coffee shop. "Your with someone else already, That shouldn't surprise me. You never did know how to take care of yourself." Tristan scoffed.

"Think whatever you want about me. I'm done with you." Rory said still trying to pull away. "You'll be done when I say your done." Tristan said harshly pushing her against the brick wall of an ally.

He leaned forward to kiss her but she moved her head so he miss. "Do you think that's a wise thing to do?" Tristan asked her. "Yes." Rory shot back. Tristan punched her in the face.

Tears welled up in Rory's eyes. "I'm not done with you. Remember that." Tristan said grabbing her by the neck and kissing her harshly. Then he pushed her down to the ground as he walked away.

Rory sat in the alley crying she pulled out her cell phone. She knew she made a mistake and she was going to admit it. She quickly dialed his number. "Hello?"

"Logan, It's me." Rory sobbed.

"Ace? what's wrong? What happened? Where are you?" Logan questioned. "I'm about a block away from Chilton at a coffee shop. Will you please just come and get me. I'll explain it when you get here." She sobbed.

"I'll be there soon. Just hang on." He told her before hanging up and running to his car with Colin, Finn and Steph following.

He found her about Fifteen minutes still in the alley crying. "Rory?" Logan said cautiously kneeling down to her. "Logan. I made a mistake. I didn't think he'd hurt me. I just wanted to know why." She sobbed into his chest. "Ace, Look at me." Logan said gently.

Rory shook her head. "Common Ror, Please?" He pleaded. She raised her head slowly. Logan took in the bruises on her face and her neck and his heart instantly broke.

He helped her up and brought her to where Colin, Finn and Steph were standing . "Steph, Bring her home in her car. Go to our dorm not yours." Logan ordered.

Steph nodded and helped Rory to her car as they drove back to Yale.


"What the fuck happened?" Colin asked getting angry just by the sight of Rory bruises.

"I'm not sure she was hysterical. All I know is she met Tristan down here he hurt her." Logan said practically yelling.

"Lets go make good on a promise." Finn said angrily getting into the car to find Tristan. They were driving around Hartford when they saw him walking down the sidewalk.

Finn stopped the escalade in the middle of the street and all three of them jumped out. "Hello Tristan." Logan said calmly.

Tristan turned to see them all standing in front of him. " You guys again? I thought by now you'd get bored with her."

"Keep talking DuGrey and your going to make this a whole lot worse for yourself." Finn told him. "You guys don't scare me. You forget we used to be friends, I know all your little scaring tricks. You won't actually hit me."

"I won't?" Logan asked. "No your to afraid daddy will take away your black card if you get into more trouble." Tristan taunted. Logan couldn't take it anymore. He swung at Tristan as his Fist collided wit his face.

Tristan stumbled back but Swung at Logan but brushed Finn's shoulder. Finn chucked lightly "That wasn't smart." As he took a punch at Tristan as well.


The drive back to Yale was quiet except for Rory trying to stop her tears. Once they got to Yale. Steph got out and helped Rory.

"Why are we going to the guys dorm?" Rory asked between sniffles. "Logan told me to take you here." Steph explained. Rory just nodded.

Rory sat on the couch and Steph wrapped a blanket around her. She went into Logan's room and got his pillow for Rory that was when she got a good look at Rory's bruises.

There was on one her check, one on her neck and one on her arm. Steph couldn't believe that someone who supposedly loved her would do that. She got Rory some ice and handed it to her. "Thanks." Rory mumbled.

"No Problem, What happened?" Steph asked cautiously. Rory hugged Logan's pillow tightly and began to cry again. "He called and said he wanted to see me. I said ok because I wanted to get closure. He said he wanted me back and I told him I was with someone else and he flipped out. I told him I was done with him and he said I wasn't done until he said I was. Then he hit me." Rory explained as her tears dried up.

"Are you going to get a restraining order or something?" Steph asked curiously not wanting this to happen again.

"I haven't thought about it but it does sound like a good idea. Of course I willing went to meet him this time." Rory said. "You went to meet him but you didn't go to get beaten up."

"That's true. Do you think Logan will be mad at me?" Rory asked Steph worried about what Logan is going to say.

Steph shook her head "I doubt it. Logan will understand." she told her reassuringly.

The girls sat on the couch watching movies about three hours later the guys showed up. Logan walked in and Rory ran to hug him.

"Thank you so much. I am so sorry. I made such a big mistake." Rory told him. "It's ok Ace. You needed closure. He was a big part of your life. I understand that." He said hugging her again.

"Steph suggested I get a restraining order or something." She told him. "I think that's a good idea. I'll help you look into it tomorrow for now lets just relax and we can tell you about the Hartford Prison Facilities." Logan smirked.

"YOU WERE IN JAIL!" Rory gasped. "Wouldn't be the first time." Steph said casually. "This jail was much nicer then some of the ones from the past." Colin reassured her.

"What happened?" Rory asked. "Tristan shot off at the mouth, I punched him, He went to punch me back but instead punched Finn's shoulder, Finn took a swing, We both took turns hitting him, Someone called the cops, They came and arrested all of us except Colin, Colin bailed us out." Logan explained step-by-step.

"Why didn't the arrest Colin?" Rory questioned. "Colin didn't hit him. He merely encouraged us to hit him." Logan said.

"Instigator." Steph mumbled. "Hey, If I am an instigator I learned how to do it from you." Colin shot back. "True." Steph laughed.

"You don't have to go to trial or anything do you?" Rory was concerned about the trouble she caused. "Ace, calm down." He told her kissing her lightly.

"It was considered a domestic dispute or Disrupting the peace I wasn't really listening to the cop. We have to pay a fine and we had to pay bail. Tristan didn't press charges for battery and so we are good to go."

"I've never seen someone so casual about being in Jail." Rory said shocked. "I was in there for a good cause." Logan smirked.

"Thanks." Rory said shyly. "Ace, I cannot possibly just sit there when I know someone's hurting you. I care to much about you." Logan said.

Rory didn't say anything she just hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much for everything." She pulled away and turned to Finn. "Thank you too. You guys are the greatest."

"GROUP HUG!" Finn exclaimed as he jumped up and hugged Rory and Logan.


Strange place to end, I know. I also know your sitting there saying Rory's a dumbass she never should have went to meet up with him. This occured to me after the chapter was writtenthat no person with a brain would do that. So pretend it's logical!

That's the end of Tristan. He's gone, His ass was kicked.

I won't be updating for a little while. I have to get eye surgery so I obviously won't be on the computer much. It's not massive serious surgery just a tear duct problem (it's noninvasive w/e that means). I probably won't update this week.. I don't know it depends on how I feel.
