Chapter four: Acting Strange...
At 5:00 there was a knock on the door and she assumed it was Logan.
"Hey Loga--" she stopped when she saw the person standing in front of her, looking all but happy. "Dean" she whispered.
"Hey" he grumbled, pushing past her and sitting on the couch.
"Sure, come on in" she muttered, irritated, walking over to him after shutting the door all but a crack. "What are you doing here?" she asked joining him on the couch, but sitting a considerable length away from him.
"Just wanted to stop by"
"Oh, well, I kind of have someone coming over--" she was cut off by a light, gentle knock on the door. "Uh, hold on a second" she said getting up and pulling the door open. Logan was on the other side, smiling softly at her.
"Hey Ace"
"Rory, who the hell is this?"
"Well it looks like introductions are in order" she said, swallowing, obviously nervous as she fidgeted with her hands.
"Logan Huntzberger" he said cooly, sticking out his hand.
"Dean Forrester, Rory's boyfriend" he replied, not bothering to hide the anger in his voice or on his face.
"Well it's nice to finally meet you, Rory say's good things about you"
"And why do you talk to her?"
"Dean, Logan is one of my best friends. You met the others before, a while a go actually"
"Oh yeah. The rich kids"
"Dean we kind of had something planned so could you..." she trailed off, motioning to the door.
He looked from Logan to Rory in disbelief.
"Rory, are you cheating on me or something?" he yelled, his voice raising.
"No, Dean, Logan is just a friend, but we had plans to hang out"
"Yeah, right, and I should believe this why?"
"Because you're my boyfriend, Dean. You're supposed to trust me, not be an asshole!"
"You little..." he said, seething, as he forcefully shoved her into the wall. Logans heart beat faster as he watched her hit the wall with a loud thud, and fall to the ground. He immediatly knelt beside her to see if she was conscious.
"Rory...Rory can you hear me? Rory!"
"And you!" Dean shouted kicking Logan in the stomach. He doubled over in pain but quickly recovered and stood up, punching Dean square in the nose.
"Dont ever touch her again or I swear to God the last thing you will have to worry about is a broken nose" Logan whispered in Deans ear, his voice low and threatening, dripping with venom.
"What do you care?"
"She's my best friend. I dont appreciate it when people hurt my friends. And I dont know about you, but my parents raised me to never hit a girl, no matter what the circumstances. Now get out before I throw you out"
"Like you could" Dean scoffed, looking up at him with a cocky smirk.
"You wanna test me?"
"Whatvever. I dont care I have more important things to do"
"Oh yeah, more important than taking care of your hurt girlfriend!"
"Looks like you have that part covered, Richie Rich" he said as he slammed the door shut and walked away. Logan looked down at the unconscious girl in a heap on the floor and felt his heart sink. He reached down and picked her up carefully, walking her to the couch and laying her down.
He still wasnt sure about what she had to tell him. But A. that was the least of his worries at the moment and B. he would bet his inheritance it had something, if not all to do with that Dean guy.
000000000Lorelai pulled up into the driveway and hopped out of the car. She noticed Luke's pickup and hurried toward the house. She hadnt spoken to him since yesterday. She had gone straight to the inn and had to work later than she anticipated.
"Luuuuke!" she called, walking through the front door. She saw him sitting in the kitchen and he stood up when she entered. He looked all but happy.
"Lorelai, where the hell were you? First you leave this stupid vague note saying that you went out and would be back tomorrow. You have to give me more information than that, Lorelai! Then you dont bother to call me, or stop by the diner or anything!"
"I'm sorry Luke. I was upset with you when I left the note and I was at Rory's for a movie night"
"Why were you upset with me, what the hell did I do!"
"You're still keeping me from getting to know my step daughter. And telling me you dont want me to have contact with her, or Anna? What is up with that. I thought that maybe I'd let you worry about me not coming home at night this time" she said, tears forming in her eyes as she walked past him and started the coffee maker.
"I have my reasons, I told you that!"
"What are your reasons, Luke! When we got married you vowed to be honest with me and trust me! That's what marriage and love are based on. Honesty and trust. Right now, and for a few months now actually, you have not been being honest, and you're acting like you dont trust me. That means I cant trust you"
"Lorelai..."
"No, Luke. I'm going to bed" she said walking out of the kitchen and towards Rory's old bedroom.
"Our room is upstairs..."
"I know. I'm sleeping in Rory's room. Goodnight" she said shortly, slamming the door behind her. She didnt know why Luke wanted to keep her away from April, even Anna!
He had been acting weird ever since a few weeks ago.
When Lorelai had gone to New York with Rory for a weekend.
And he hadnt answered the home phone, diner phone, or the cell phone she gave him.
And he said he was going to see Anna...
So, what do you think? I know Lorelai going to Rorys old room does seem a little immature, but she was upset and needed to think without him around. Also there's some Dean in this one. The whole Luke/Lorelai thing will make sense soon. So, please, review! I have the next one written so I'll post it probably the day after tomorrow. Depends on the response I get.
Next chapter: Rory wakes up and has to face Logan. He wants to know the truth. Lorelai plans to sit down and talk with Luke. She wants to know the truth.
