Thanks for all of you who reviewed! I love you guys, Your all simple amazing!
I know you've waited a while for this so I'm gonna skip the authors note for now!
Logan took a deep breath, It was going to take a lot of energy to not just blurt out the first thing that came to his mind. Even he was a little anxious to hear what he was going to say.
"I…" He began but stopped. "When…." He stalled again.
"What the hell is wrong with me! I never, NEVER have trouble talking to a girl about anything. Rory Gilmore will be NO different." He told himself .
Rory smiled, He was nervous. It was a nice change, usually she was the nervous one. "It's not like I'm going to laugh, Promise." She reassured.
"Laugh?" Logan questioned nervously. He never considered the possibility of her laughing at him once he confessed his feelings.
"We haven't talked in six years but I know you. You aren't one to beat around the bush, will you please just spill it already!" Rory said impatiently.
"Ror, I know you know Colin, Finn and my reputation. I'm a Sophomore in College and I've never had a girlfriend longer than two days." Logan began.
"Yes, I know. Even when you had been gone for two years I had girls asking me if I was Logan Huntzberger's friend and if I would give you their numbers."
"Are you serious?" Logan knew girls had done a lot of uncalled for things to get his attention but asking Rory to give him their numbers was a little over the top.
Rory nodded, "I think if I go back home, I can scrounge up one or two that I hadn't thrown out yet. Steph and I used to keep them so when we were board we could prank call them."
Logan just laughed, It sounded like something Rory and Steph would do.
"Alright, Well I sort of kind of went out with a lot of girls to replace something…Someone." Logan said quietly.
"Who?" Rory asked cautiously, although she already had a sneaking suspicion that she already knew.
"You, Rory. Of course it's you! I liked you way before I left. Hell, I liked you when we were at the Thompson's ball. I wasn't messing with your mind like I led you to believe. I told you that because once I said it, I thought... I don't know what I thought but it was that I didn't want you to know anymore."
Flashback:
Rory was eleven and a half years old and getting dressed up was fun, Unless you were getting dressed up to attend the Thompson's annual Ball.
Rory liked Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, they always had good candy but their parties were a total drag. Only Logan and Rory went because Mr. Thompson was a client of Christopher's and Mrs. Thompson was friends with Shira.
Logan and Rory had been sitting at the table playing 'guess whose cheating' It was a game Lorelai had taught them. The objective was to pick out the richest snobbiest couples and figure out who was cheating and with whom.
"I think Mr. Lanfear is cheating on his wife with…. Mrs. Gleeson." Rory said. "How do you figure that?" Logan asked.
"She's been making googly eyes with him all night. You're blind if you don't see them."
Logan laughed. "I bet Mr. Franklin is cheating on his wife with one of the caterers." Rory gave him a questioning look. "That's a random guess, Care to explain how you guessed that?"
Logan just pointed a fifty year old Mr. Franklin suspiciously making his way to the coat room with a very young looking caterer.
Rory wrinkled her nose and shook her head "I don't wanna play this game anymore, I'm going to have nightmares!"
"How about we dance?" Logan suggested. Rory shrugged there was nothing better to do. She got up and took his offered hand.
The two were the youngest couple on the floor and as they danced numerous older couples would walk by and utter 'awww' or 'How adorable!'
"You know just once I'd like to be able to dance without someone going 'They are just so cute, They are going to be such a handsome couple when they get older.'" Rory mocked.
"I don't know, I kind of like the idea that we'll be a couple." Logan told her seriously. Rory tilted her head so she was looking up at Logan.
"Your such a liar!" She squealed. Rory had always liked Logan but she knew he was just messing with her, So she wasn't going to get her hopes up.
Logan's face dropped but he quickly recovered and replaced his unpleasant frown with a self assured smirk he'd been genetically programmed with. "You caught me, I was just teasing you."
"I knew it." Rory muttered placing her head back on Logan's chest as they continued to dance in silence, both being to caught up in their own thoughts to talk.
:End Flashback
"I wish you would have told me you were serious. I was probably somewhere around eleven but I've been told I have a comprehension of someone two years older than me. I was taking ninth grade classes in the seventh grade." Rory rambled.
"Ace, It was never about your ability to comprehend my feelings, You always could. That...This situation is no different." Logan assured her.
"Then what was it? What I not pretty enough? Was it about what everyone would think? I mean you were thirteen, I don't really know first hand what thirteen year old boys think about but I do know sex consumes a lot of their thoughts, I took health." Rory rationalized more for herself than him.
"Rory, I don't know if you've ever looked in the mirror but your gorgeous. You have always been gorgeous. You should know more than anyone I have never cared what anyone thought about me or my choices. And I am not going to deny it when I was thirteen sex was pretty much the extent of my thoughts, Which isn't much different from now."
"Good to know that your reputation precedes you." Rory muttered under her breath. "What's that supposed to mean?" Logan quickly asked.
"Just, I heard stories Logan. You're a playboy. I mean you've always had girls trying to get your attention but I didn't you'd give it to them… All of them."
"Well isn't that the pot calling the kettle black." Logan accused. Rory raised an eye brow at his comment. "Well, look at you. You're the one dancing on bars in mini skirts with underwear that isn't exactly G rated."
Rory didn't say anything she just let Logan continue his little rant. "I heard stories as well Rory, You're the bookworm turned party girl. I wouldn't be surprised if you slept with half of Chilton."
Rory looked down and bit her lip. "Ok." She stood up placed a ten dollar bill on the table to pay for her coffee and then walked out of the coffee shop.
Logan didn't get it, "She made a comment about my past but I couldn't make one about hers. She's a hypocrite." He thought to himself.
Rory paid the cab driver and walked to her dorm. Opening the door she saw Finn and Steph cuddling on the floor and Honor and Colin cuddling on the couch while they all watched a movie.
Rory couldn't help but feel jealous of her friends. She wanted what they had, She wanted someone to hold her.
Rory contained her tears until she made it into her room without saying a word. She dropped her purse and kicked off her shoes before falling onto the bed and began to cry.
No sooner had Rory began to cry, Steph and Honor barged into her room with out knocking. "Rory! What happened!" Honor asked.
Steph was on one side and Honor was on the other, Both girls going into full wallowing mode almost instantly.
"He…He thinks…He thinks I…slept…with…with all of…Chilton…He thinks…I'm...I'm a whore.." Rory managed to get out.
Honor stood up quickly mumbling something about getting his facts straight. "I'll be back." She said reassuringly and shut the door behind her.
"What was that all about?" Colin asked. "Apparently my brothers an Ass, Give me your dorm room key!" Honor demanded holding out her hand.
Colin didn't question it he just handed her his keys and watched her storm out. "She's a feisty one!" Finn commented only getting a smirk in response from Colin.
When Logan returned back to his dorm her found an extremely pissed off looking Honor sitting on the couch. "Hey, Honor. How's it going?" He asked cautiously.
"Oh, Just swell. You know I was watching a movie with my boyfriend then one of my best friends comes walking in silently shuts her door then breaks down into sobs which can be heard over the surround sound." she spat angrily.
"I didn't do anything. I said the truth." He argued. "Care to enlighten me about what that was?" Honor asked.
"She made a comment about my… assorted past and I made one about hers." Logan said shortly having a feeling she already had Rory's side of the story.
"What assorted past is that, Logan? Rory doesn't really have much of one." Honor growled. "She's probably slept with her fair share of people, She has no right to judge me." Logan reasoned
"Oh, my god! Are you really that dumb? I thought you got into Yale on your own but apparently Dad had a lot more pull in the matter than we all thought."
"Not in the mood to have to read between the lines, Honor." Logan stated dryly.
"When I told you to get your facts straight the other day, I meant it. She's a virgin Logan. Rory's a tease, one of those look but don't touch kind of girls." Honor told him. Logan just stared at her the guilt already eating away at him.
Honor sighed obviously her brother was an idiot. "Logan.." Honor began her tone getting gentler "For god knows what reason your opinion has always mattered the most to Rory. You thinking she's some type of slut is probably killing her."
She stood up and walked to the door telling Logan in no uncertain terms to "Fix This."
Logan leaned against the wall and hit his head up against it multiple times. "What the fuck is wrong with me?" He yelled.
Just then there was a knocking at the door. He shuffled over and opened the door shocked by what he saw. Rory was standing there in rubber ducky pajamas, her hair in a messy pony tail and she was holding a bag.
"Nothing." She whispered. Logan gave her a look that clearly showed he was confused. "You asked what was wrong with you, I answered nothing."
"You'll never know how far from the truth that is." He mumbled before stepping aside and motioning for her to come inside.
"To what do I owe this visit?" Logan asked.
"We're going to wallow together. I'm going to wallow because first you tell me you've liked me for years and then you call me a whore. And your going to wallow about how much of an ass you are. And In the process we'll get this all sorted out while we eat junk food and watch movies."
"That sounds like a plan." Logan nodded taking the bags from her and setting them on a counter. He watched as Rory went into the common area and began to get it set up.
"We're going to need pillows, blankets, and bowls to put the food in." She told him. "I don't deserve this, Ror. I deserve for you to hate me."
"I know that's what you deserve but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt." Rory smiled as she poured chips into a bowl.
"Logan, Just lucky I guess." Logan joked.
"George of the jungle. Mom would be proud." She grabbed the chips and walked into the common room and began to situate herself on the couch then turned to see him starting intently at her.
"You Coming?" She questioned. Logan nodded and walked towards the couch "Third times is a charm." he thought to himself.
Alright, I didn't exactly plan for this chapter to turn out the way it did. It just came out. But I think it played well with the part I put in last chapter.
Next Chapter will have some Finn and Steph as well as Rory and Logan. I liked the whole Finn and Steph combo!
I hope I'm doing a good job balancing this story and my other ones. I'm trying! This story would have been up sooner had I known what I was going to write.
Only a week and 2 days more school then two days of exams! Yay! So my updates will probably be more frequent.
Please Review!
