Chapter 4

a/n. Ok, here is the next chapter. I know that it isn't very long, but I think it is better than taking forever. This is just kind of a filler chapter. But anyway, please review. OK, here is the story.


When Rory woke up the next morning, she wasn't sure where she was. Wait, I am at home, who is this person with their arm around me? she thought, and then it all came back to her, everything, Logan cheating on her, Finn and her mom helping her wallow. I am at home, on the couch, with a not drunk Finn with his arm around my shoulders. We must have fallen asleep while watching one of the movies, she thought.

Finn had also just woken up, when he felt Rory move. He didn't remember why he was here, then it hit him again, my best friend cheated on Rory, my adopted little sister, the jerk. He knew he had to talk to Logan today, they had been friends forever, and he should here his side of the story also. He would go this morning, once Steph got her. I hope Logan knows what he is getting himself into, because I will be confronting him completely sober, and that, I might add, even if just to myself, is not going to be a very pleasant experience, for Logan at least.

Just then the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," said sing-songed Lorelai. When Lorelai opened the door, she didn't exactly expect to see a very, how shall I say it, perky Stephanie. "Hey Steph," Lorelai said.

"Hey Lorelai. Is Rory here? Finn told me all about what happened, and I've decided a girl's weekend in New York City could cheer her up a little bit. Besides, who can say no to shopping?"

"Very well, she's in the den with Finn, I think they just got up," answered Lorelai.

"Okey dokey smokey, I will go tell her to get ready, and say hi to Finn while I'm at it," said Stephanie. After the little exchange Steph walked into the den to go tell Rory about the weekend, and to see if Finn found anything more out. "Hey Rory, Finn."

"Hey," they both answered in unison, then broke out in giggles, for no apparent reason.

"Well, if you're done laughing, Rory, go pack your bags, pack just a little though, and plan to do tons of shopping. We're going to New York City."

"Umm…ok, I guess. I mean, who can say no to tons of shopping? I guess I will go get some things. See ya in a minute." Then Rory walked into her room to get a couple tings for the upcoming weekend with Steph.

"So, do you think Logan actually did cheat on her?" asked Steph after Rory had left the room.

"I don't' know Steph, from what she said, it sounds like it. I am going to have a chat with Logan, once you and Rory leave."

"It really stinks for him, he will not be having a fun time when we're through with him, I mean, all of us kind of adopted Rory. There is no way that everything will be the same if he did do it, because we would still be friends with Rory, but he wouldn't. For his sake, I hope that it was a mistake, especially since he is dealing with a mad, sober Finn."

"Ya, really. Anyway, here comes Rory." Then he turned to them both, "Have a great weekend, if you need me to beat anyone up for me, you have my cell. Oh and Rory," he said, then turned to her, "Here is my credit card, use it wisely, and make sure I still have money left."

Rory looked Finn in the eye, "Thanks Finn, I really do appreciate that you gave me the power of money, I love it. Besides Finn, its not like I can access all of your money, didn't your parents put a maximum amount daily? Don't worry, I will make sure that your parents will still let you have some money this weekend."

Then Steph gave Finn a look that said, you are such a good big brother when you want to be. "Well, as fun as this is, we need to head to NYC."

"Bye Mom, bye Finn," Rory said as she gave them both a hug and were out the door.

After Rory and Steph had left, Finn told Lorelai that he was going to go have a chat with Logan.


a/n. Next time on Gone and Returned:

Steph:"You need that boy like a bowling ball dropped on your head, which means not at all, you have to much to give, to live to waste your time on him."

Finn:"I wanna know, what you were thinkn'. I can't imagine why it didn't even sink it, they say you never what you got 'till it's gone."

Ok, so that is my goal, and if you can figure the songs that those quotes come from, then bonus points for you. Bamby, you don't count, cause, I know you know where they are from. Anyway, I will try to update soon. Please review!
