Disclaimer: I own nothing, except Naddie.

"Naddie!" The girl sheepishly looked about at Rory; she was scared, Rory could see that. Rory turned on her heal. This, she could not deal with; she walked down the hall, to the elevator, to her car, and drove home; all she could think of was: 'Finn really could cure any hangover; he would just replace it with a new headache.'
Rory skillfully avoided any path she thought Naddie might use, until her creative writing class. Rory walked into class late again, making sure to stay clear of Naddie; for some reason she was embarrassed for Naddie. As the class began Rory realized that part of the professor's shtick was to get the class moving, which unfortunately gave Naddie a chance to move right next to Rory. When the class ended Rory knew that she couldn't get away from Naddie; Naddie stood up.
"You want to get some coffee?" Naddie looked so pitiful; how could Rory say 'no?'
"Sure." The two walked to the closest coffee cart; Naddie just had a juice while Rory had her coffee with a double shot. The two took a seat on one of the close benches. The awkward silence broken only when Naddie spoke.
"Please, don't tell Colin."
"I wasn't going to." A look of relief came over Naddie's face; she hugged Rory, taking her by surprise. Naddie separated; Rory saw her once again for who she really was: a scared little girl. Naddie smiled. "I just have a question." Naddie tried to read Rory's face, she nodded. "I thought you hated Finn?"
"I do."
"But, the two of you were making out."
"Yes."
"Are you dating?"
"No."
"Are you…?
"Yes."
"Are you dating other people?"
"We aren't excusive; if that's what you're asking."
"Are you sure you're up for that; Logan and I tried it and…" Naddie cut her off.
"I'm not you, and Finn's not Logan; so don't try and compare us to you." Naddie's face had turned from scared of who Rory would tell, to angry in less than five seconds. She stood up and walked away leaving Rory stunned at what had just happened. Erratic. That was the only word to describe Naddie: erratic.
Rory stood in the kitchen debating between old Chinese or old Italian; there was a knock on the door. Naddie stood on the other side; as soon as the door was open she walked in.
"It hurts to see him with other girls, doesn't it?" Naddie nodded; Rory pulled her in to a hug, Naddie pushed her away.
"I think I love him."
"Tell him."
"Oh, it's just that simple." The expression on her face was that of sarcasm.
"Yes, it can be if you let it."
"I hate him, though."
"Why?"
"He's what I am." Rory didn't understand but Naddie collapsed on the couch. "Can I stay here tonight?"
"Yeah. Do you want to keep talking about it?"
"No." The girl closed her eyes, and laid back on the couch; Rory walked back in to the kitchen deciding on Italian.
"Catch me!"
"Ace, give me back my pants."
"No!" Rory jumped on the bed like a child; she didn't want Logan to go.
"Ace." Logan tried desperately to use his authoritative voice.
"Make me." Logan walked over to the bed, looking up at Rory. He pulled the boxers that she was wearing closer toward him, she moved slowly along with them. He craned his neck up towards her, she bent down. He pulled her in to a kiss; forgetting why she was on the bed, Rory dropped to her knees, kissing Logan back with an even greater passion. He grabbed his pants, walking into the bathroom. "Not fair!"
"Neither is life."
"That better be a cold shower Huntzberger; because, if that thing on my leg was what I thought it was, I'm not going not help you now.
"Rory?" Rory slowly opened her eyes; dazed to see Naddie standing over her.
"Where am I?"
"You fell off the bed."
"I did?"
"Yeah, and then you started talking to yourself."
"I did?"
"Yeah." Naddie held out her hand to help Rory up.
"What time is it?"
"Umm…" Naddie looked at her watch, "ten after nine."
"Oh."
"Hey thanks for the couch."
"No problem. Hey, did you figure out your Finn relationship?"
"I've decided it's a Love/Hate relationship." Naddie gave a little wave, and turned to leave; she walked out once again leaving Rory all alone.
