Thanks for all the reviews! I loved them, As usual!

This would have been up much, much sooner if I hadn't rewritten it three times.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. It's sad isn't it.


Rory awoke to a knocking on the door. She looked at the red numbers on the clock that flashed 8:45 AM. This was the only day she had a class that started at noon and someone was disrupting her so she couldn't sleep in.

"What!" Rory yelled from her bed not having enough energy to actually get up and open the door.

The door opened and closed slowly but Rory didn't notice she had already laid back down her eyes had drifted shut on their own and Rory wasn't about to make an effort to open them.

"Rory." The voice said quietly. Rory's eyes shot open as she sat up. "Logan, What are you doing here?" she asked. She had cried herself to sleep last night, because of him. Of course that wasn't unusual for Rory.

Over the past six years, She had made habit of crying herself to sleep because of Logan. She sighed and patted the side of her bed for him to sit.

"You were crying." he observed sitting next to her. "How do you know?" Rory asked slightly shocked that he had known that.

Logan brought his hand up to her face and traced a line that went down her face "Tear stains." he whispered bringing his hand back down.

Rory wasn't going to even try and make up a lie as to why she was crying. She knew that it wouldn't convince him. Her lies never convinced him.

"Why were you crying?" he asked quietly staring at her intently. Rory didn't say anything just reverted her eyes so they looked anywhere but at him.

"Come on Ror, You can tell me." He told her. Rory shook her head. "No I can't. I haven't been able to tell you anything in a long time."

Her words hurt him, he knew it was his own fault. "How are we ever going to get back to the way we were before I left if we don't talk to each other?" He asked his voice was harsher then he intended it to be.

"Who said anything about going back to the way things were?" Rory questioned. "Because as far as I am concerned things can never go back to being that way, You left and didn't seem to care about me anymore."

"That's not true! I did.. I do care!" Logan tried to convince her but his argument was weak. He didn't have very much to back him up on the matter.

"Logan, You didn't call, e-mail, write, visit, smoke signal, Morris code, send a carrier pigeon, hell I didn't even get a message relayed by Finn or Colin! You didn't care. You don't care." Rory yelled but her voice got weaker towards the end as tears threatened to fall.

"Rory. I'm sorry.You've got to--" Logan began but got cut off by the ringing of her cell phone. Rory was glad to receive an interruption from the conversation that was seemingly not going as he had planned.

"Hello?" She asked her voice returning back to normal. "Rory, my dear! How are you?" the voice on the other end of the phone said cheerfully.

"How are you so damn peppy in the morning, I mean do you have pixie sticks injected into your blood stream every morning?" Rory asked.

"No, Nothing like that. It's just well I mean I am so happy after all I am in Hartford on the Yale campus. In fact I am making my way to the Bradford building room twelve B." the voice said nonchalantly.

"OH MY GOD NO WAY!" Rory squealed ignoring the fact that Logan was looking at her strangely. "Well, I mean if you don't want me to I can always turn around. After all I think Colin did mention something about taking me out for coffee…"

"Get your ass over here!" Rory laughed as she jumped out of her bed and ran out of her room. Logan looked at her retreating back questioningly. "I guess this conversation will have to wait." he sighed

Rory swung open her dorm room door to find Honor Huntzberger holding two large cups of coffee and smiling brightly.

"HONOR!" Rory yelled hugging the other girl who hugged back with the same enthusiasm. "Ror, How you've grown. It's been what? Two weeks, Three tops? I've missed you!" She said hugging her again.

Logan stood in the doorway watching Rory and his sister interact then noting Honors comment. "Two weeks? Rory and Honor were never close. In fact if he recalled they didn't really like each other. Honor was a year older then Logan and wanted nothing to do with him or his friends.

The two girls pulled apart. "Coffee for you, I know better than to wake a Gilmore with out the elixir of life." Honor laughed.

"You're a god, Anyone ever told you that?" Rory asked sipping the coffee. "I've been told that before but it's always nice to hear."

"So, When did you get here?" Rory asked leading Honor into her dorm both girls passing Logan obliviously.

"Last night. Stayed at home with Mom and dad. That was one hell of a interesting meal lemme tell you…" Honor said sliding her shoes off and making herself comfortable on the couch next to Rory.

"Oh! Mitchum and Shira gave you the third degree about Josh didn't they!" Rory exclaimed apparently very happy about receiving the latest bit of gossip.

Logan stood in the corner watching Rory and his sister talk. She knew more about Honor that he did. He decided he was going to make his presence known before he heard things he didn't want to about Honor and Josh's relationship.

"Honor, Glad to see that my big sister loves me." Logan said sarcastically. "Logan, What are you doing here? I didn't see you." She said casually getting up and giving him a hug.

"I was talking to Rory when you called." Once again his voice seemed a bit more harsh then he intended. "Well, Rory and I haven't see each other in weeks. You'll have to do it some other time." Honor said looking from Rory's pleading face back to Logan's.

"Are you kidding! I haven't seen her in six years and you want me to leave because you haven't talked about lip gloss or your boyfriend in a few weeks?" Logan questioned.

"Whose fault is it that you haven't talked to her in years?" Honor said calmly sitting back on the couch resuming her conversation with Rory who just sat by idly watching the exchange.

Logan walked out of the dorm shutting the door quietly. "I'm such a dumbass, I know the reason I didn't keep in touch and I know the reason that I am trying to hard to get things back to normal between us. Why can't I just say it!" Logan thought to himself.

He needed a drink it may have only been quarter after nine in the morning but he needed a drink.


"So, Why was Logan here?" Honor asked Rory cautiously when the door shut. Honor had been there for Rory when Logan hadn't kept in touch.

As good as Steph and Lorelai had been about helped her through Logan leaving, Honor knew Logan the best and she helped give Rory insight on what was going through his mind. Even if she really wasn't all that sure about it.

Flashback:

Rory was sitting on the balcony of a guest room during a party when Honor saw her. Logan had left about two months ago and even Honor noticed how depressed Rory had been.

"Hey, Kid." Honor said sitting next to Rory. "Hi Honor." Rory gave her a weak smile. "You miss Logan don't you?"

Rory nodded. "It might not be so hard to have him gone if he'd call or write or something." Rory explained with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Logan hasn't call or written to you?" Honor questioned. Logan had written or e-mail or called her at least once every other day.

Rory shook her head. "Not once, I guess he doesn't care about me anymore. He's got all those girls in Switzerland what does he need me or Steph for." Rory sobbed into her hands.

Honor had never really been close to Rory or Steph but she had always loved them like little sisters. She couldn't believe what a jerk her brother was being. Rory had a huge crush on Logan. Anyone could see it, and he like Rory as well even though he was better at hiding his feelings than she was.

She didn't understand why he wasn't keeping in touch with her. "Well Ror, I might not be Logan. But I am a Huntzberger. If you ever need me I am here. You don't need Logan." Honor assured her and pulled Rory into a hug.

:End Flashback

"He said that he wanted this to get back to normal." Rory said quietly. "But for things to be normal in Logan's head. I'd have to be twelve years old and have a strange obsession with gel pens."

"Ror, You still have a odd fascination with gel pens but I get the point. Has he even tired to defend his actions?" Honor asked.

Rory shook her head trying keep her tears from falling. "He just keeps saying he's sorry. But sorry with out an explanation is pretty useless."

Honor nodded and pulled Rory into a hug, as Rory's tears began to fall. "It's going to be ok. He'll come to his senses and tell you. I'm sure of it." Honor assured Rory.


Logan walked into his dorm to see Finn and Steph mauling each other on the couch. "Oh come on! You have a bedroom for that." He yelled as he walked over to the bar and took a shot.

Finn and Steph quickly sat up straightening there clothes. "Sorry mate, She came over and well you know me. I can never disappoint a pretty lady." Finn said winking at Steph who just smiled and leaned her head on his chest.

"Your up at this hour? My god Steph's already got you whipped." Logan stated dryly taking another shot. "Starting awfully early aren't we?" Steph pointed to the alcohol Logan was about to consume.

"I have my reasons." He mumbled before downing his forth shot. Finn gently got up moving Steph's head onto a pillow and took the bottle away from him.

"Alcohol is the drink of joy and you are abusing it's pleasures." Finn said protectively cradling the bottle in his arms.

"Whatever." Logan retorted sitting on the couch next to Steph. "What's wrong?" Finn questioned. It wasn't like Logan to drink at nine thirty in the morning. That was more his approach.

"What else? I came home not expecting to see Rory or if I did I didn't expect her to actually have grown up! In my mind she still spent her nights hold up in her room reading. Now she's not just adorable cute like she was when I left she's gorgeous. She's still smart and quirky. Honor is now Rory's best buddy and I've missed all of it!" Logan rambled.

"Honor's here?" Steph asked excitedly. "Yes."

"I want to go say hi. I'll see you guys later. Bye Finny." she said planting a tender kiss on Finn's lips and walked out.

Finn sat on the couch while Logan just sat there consumed by his thoughts. Finn wasn't going to try and force his friend to talk. He knew that Logan had to figure this out on his own, He made this mess now he had to find a way to clean it up.

"Of course, Logan's never been one to clean up his own messes. He's not very domestic." Finn thought to himself chuckling lightly at his inner thoughts.

"What's so fucking funny?" Logan yelled bitterly. Finn just smirked "Nothing, I am going to leave you to your sulking. Have fun with that."

Logan had sat on the chair just replaying the last six years in his head. Replaying every time his parents called and told him to come home, he'd make up an excuse not to.

How every time Rory would e-mail him he'd read it over and over again and save it in a file but never reply. How when ever she called and left a voicemail he's listen to it over and over again just to here her voice. He didn't understand why he did it. He just did, He never could bring himself to contact her.

He wasn't aware of how long he had been sitting there but he was brought out of his thoughts when Honor came barging into his dorm.

"Logan, My little brother. How's life?" She asked sitting opposite from him. "Why aren't you with your best friend Rory?" He asked harshly.

"She had to go to class. I wasn't intending on spending my whole day with her, you are my brother. I did come to see you too. But the look on Rory's face pretty much was begging me to get rid of you." Honor defended.

"Whatever, I didn't know you were so close. You left that out of all the e-mails and calls and visits."

"Logan, I left that information out because you never talked about her. I found her crying on a balcony about two months after you left. You hadn't called or written her, when I had been getting constant updates from you. Some of which include what you had for lunch. It seemed apparent that you were avoiding her why would I bring it up?"

"I guess you wouldn't. She cried when I left didn't she?" Logan asked quietly. Honor nodded "Yeah."

Logan rubbed his hands over his face. "Seriously, I think that I should just go back to Cambridge. It would do everyone better. Rory could go back to her bar dancing ways and probably screwing guys like it's going out of style and I…. well I could go back to nailing any girl who throws a glance in my direction."

Honor looked at her brother's bitter expression he really thought that little of Rory. Yes, She had changed she had gotten a little confidence but Logan seemed to have a completely wrong impression of her.

Honor stood up abruptly. "Sober up, then get your facts straight. Meet me at the pub at seven. If your not there, there will be hell to pay."

With that she walked out of the dorm and pulled out her cell and calling a familiar number.


A/N: Sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes or anything like that, I edited it quickly because the season Finale of ER is on and I being the obsessive little TV addict that I am must go watch!

Yes, This is definitely a heavy chapter, and honestly there haven't been any light hearted ones.

But the next one I already half done and it's much more on the fun side. Let's just say it's got some Finn and Steph action, Colin's drunken confessions and a Weegee Board. And even some light hearted Rory and Logan. You know it sounds appealing!

It'll be up by Saturday or Sunday, Promise.

Please Review! Tell me what you think because in all honesty I don't think this is one of my finer stories.
