Thank you to my reviewers! Ace-not-Mary, rawrrry, Sosha Sarah, celafaccio, raspberrysorbet34, meganandlogan, ilovegilmoregirls913, justine260, Rory Huntzberger, eagleraych, softballblondi, and just hidden. Okay so a little more drama is dragged into this one. It's a bit longer, at least it looks it. But it has a substantial amount of dialogue so I'm not sure how long it really is. Anyway I hope you like it:

Chapter Six: The Truth Hurts prt 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory woke up that morning to find herself in the common room, on the couch. She tried to roll over but there was something around her waist. She looked down and realized that her and Logan had fallen asleep last night. She was lying practicaly on top of him and his strong arm was hooked around her.

And for the first time in a long time, she felt safe. When she would wake up in the morning to Dean, if he had even bothered to stick around, he would be on the opposite side of the bed or away from her. But now she felt safe and comfortable.

Logan was still asleep so she settled back down into his embrace and felt him pull her closer. She was just about to drift off again when the door burst open and Dean came charging toward them, murder in his eyes.

"Dean...what are you going here?" she asked timidly, trying to shake Logan awake.

"What am I doing here? What the hell is he doing here! I knew it. I knew you were cheating on me!"

"No, Dean, you dont understand. Logan was here after you left and we must've just fallen asleep"

"Oh, right, like I should believe that"

"At least he was here for me"

"What?"

"Nothing, just leave!"

"No, I think he should leave" he yelled, pointing to Logan who was now awake.

"No! I dont want him to leave"

"Well I do!"

"I want you to leave! Not him, you! Get the hell out of my dorm Dean, we are over no matter what you say. Now get out!"

"Look I didnt mean to cause any trouble but if she doesnt want me to leave I'm not going anywhere" Logan said standing up and looking pointedly at Dean.

"Oh I think you are" Dean said as he grabbed Logan by the collar of his shirt. But before he could do anything Logan punched him in the jaw and then in the stomach.

Dean dropped him and clutched his stomach and face in pain. Logan pulled out his cell phone and hit speed dial '3' and 'send' fast pressing it to his ear. He looked down and saw Dean about to get up again. He kicked him in the stomach to prevent that when someone picked up on the other end.

"Brandford dormatory, first floor, room 10" he said quickly. Dean stood up fast this time and before he could grab the phone Logan shouted "help!" before tossing it to Rory who hid it as he was sent flying, literally, into the wall.

And the last thing he saw before everything went black, was Dean's foot coming crashing down on his chest.

Dean stood there, beating the crap out of Logan until campus security came and dragged him away.

"This isn't over, Rory! We're not over!" he shouted.

A sobbing Rory looked over to the corner and saw Logan sprawled out on the floor. She picked up his cell and called Colin and Finn, telling them to come over now. She glanced back at him and the sight only made the tears fall faster. He was slumped against the wall, unconscious. His nose was bleeding, his lips were bleeding, he had a black eye and there was blood running down the side of his head.

The two boys Logan outside of the building after calling Frank and set him in the back.

"Frank, ge to the hospital as fast as you can!" Rory told the driver who nodded and smiled at her sympathetically before beginning the drive to the New Haven Memorial Hospital.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(AN:okay I know this is a little confusing because last chapter I left off in the morning and the previous part picked up in the same spot. well this next part is in the evening. everything will eventually even out and we'll be in the same time setting for both parts just go with it)

Lorelai was walking through the dark streets of Stars Hollow towards the diner, smiling and waving at some of the townspeople that were still out. She walked up to the diner door which had the closed sign over the door, using the key Luke had given her and letting herself in.

"Luke! Are you in the back?" she shouted going behind the counter and pouring herself a mug of coffee. She heard footsteps coming down the stairs before a disheveled Luke appeared from behind the curtain. She looked at him curiously. He skipped a button while buttoning up his flannel shirt so it was crooked, and his hat looked more sideways than backwards.

"Hey, Lorelai" he said breathlessly, running a hand over the back of his neck.

She would've never expected to see the person trailing behind him thought.

Coming down the stairs, was Anna Nardini, with messed up hair and crooked, wrinkled clothing. Anna smiled sheepishly at Lorelai, looking down.

"You're...you're cheating on me" she breathed, looking between the two in disbelief.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(I thought of ending it there but that would make it extremely short and also, that would leave a cliffhanger. So I'll continue...this next part jumps into the evening, the same time as the last part)

The limo was just pulling up outside the hospital. Rory got out and Colin followed, holding Logan's upper body up as Finn got out. They carried him carefully into the emergency room and got him settled fast. The doctors told them they needed to wait in the waiting room and they would be notified as soon as they knew anything about his condition.

Rory decided that they should notify some people. Finn called Louise, Madeline, Paris, Steph and Tristan, Rory called her mother and Colin called Logans parents and Rory's grandparents.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Lorelai uses a bit more language in this part...)

"You're...you're cheating on me"

"How could you do that to me, you bastard!" Lorelai yelled, getting angrier by the second.

"Lorelai..."

"No, Luke! There is no way you could explain your way out of this! How could you? You of all people! You were always the last person I expected to cheat on someone!"

"Lorelai..." Anna said, speaking for the first time. Bad mistake on her part.

"No, you shut up right now you homewrecking slut! You also cannot explain your way out of this!"

"Lorelai..." Luke started before he was cut off by the ringing of Lorelai's cell.

"Hello?" she said, exasperated, her voice becoming calm again.

"Mom?"

"Rory? Are you okay?"

"Could you come to the hospital?"

"Why Rory what happened?"

"It's Logan..."

"Sure, hun, what hospital?"

"New Haven Memorial"

"Okay I'll be there as fast as I can, love you"

"I love you too mom"

Lorelai hung up and stuffed her phone back in her purse before moving for the door.

"Wait, Lorelai, what's wrong?"

"Not that it's any of your business anymore, Lucas, but I am going to the hospital"

"Why? Is Rory okay?"

"I dont know! I have to go find out! This isnt over!" she shouted, pointing at the two of them when she said the last part before closing the door and walking home to get her car. Just as she did, it started to rain.

"Oh, just my luck!" she shouted, hurrying down the sidewalk, covering her head with her purse. She got home and noticed a familiar car in the driveway, and a familiar figure sitting on the porch.

"Chris?" she shouted, running towards him.

"Hey, Lore!" he said, standing up and pulling her into a tight hug. She held onto him for dear life and smiled for the first time in a while. "Happy to see me?"

"Oh, you have no idea" she whispered so softly it was barely audible.

"So what's new?" he asked as they pulled away and sat down.

"Uh, nothing. Nothing" she lied, looking down and tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear. "Oh, crap. Listen I have to be somewhere"

"Where?"

"Um, Rory needs me at the hospital"

"What? Oh my God, is she okay?"

"She's not hurt but Logan..."

"Well let's go, I'll drive"

"Chris you dont have to"

"No. Logan is like the son I never had and I want to be there for Rory and the others as well. Plus, you dont look like you're in any condition to be driving"

"You're right, let's go" she said, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the Volvo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rory was sitting in the waiting room with her friends, grandparents and Logans parents, silently. Suddenly, the doors opened at the end of the hall and she got up to greet her parents.

"Mom!"

"Hey kid, how is he?"

"We dont know yet. Hey dad, I didnt know you were coming" she said hugging him too.

"Spur of the moment" he said, holding her close before stepping back and walking to the others. He kissed the girls on the cheek and shook the men's hands.

"Where's Luke?" she whispered into Lorelai's ear as they sat down.

"He's not coming. Just...dont worry about him I'll explain later when all is well"

"Okay..." she said, confused, before turning her attention to the doctor that just entered.

"Mr. and Mrs. Huntzberger?"

"Yes?" Shira said, standing up along with Mitchum.

"How is he? Is he going to be alright?" Mitchum asked, concerned.

"He's going to be just fine. There were no major wounds and we bandaged them all. He has a slight concussion but that's nothing to worry about"

(not a doctor, even though there isnt much to explain here...but I want to be a doctor -.-)

"Can we see him?" Shira asked hopefully.

"He isnt awake yet, but yes you may see him, two at a time"

"Thank you"

The doctor just smiled and gave a short nod before heading in the opposite direction. Shira and Mitchum made their way into their sons room.

"What happened exactly?" Lorelai asked, pointedly at Colin, Finn and Rory.

"Uh, it's a really long story"

"We're gonna be here for a while"

"Well there's actually something that I had never told anyone, not even you, mom. But Logan had wanted to know after seeing...evidence I guess you could call it. But my boyfriend, Dean, beats me and rapes me" she said quietly. Gasps were heard throughout the room and she just nodded. "Anyway Logan happened to see one of my bruises when we were having coffee and he wanted me to explain. So I invited him over but Dean got there first. He threw me against the wall and that was the first time he did anything with Logan around. Logan and I must've fallen asleep that night and when I woke up, Dean was barging through the door and looked like he wanted to kill someone. Then, he started beating Logan before campus security took him away. And then I called Colin and Finn and here we are"

"Why didnt you say anything?" Lorelai asked.

"Because no one would've understood. You all would've said to dump him but I cant. Last time I tried he said I would find myself in a much worse situation than I was in and I didnt want that. I'm sorry"

Shira and Mitchum came back out and Emily and Richard went next. After them, Lorelai and Chris, Colind and Finn, Steph and Paris and Madeline and Louise.

"Tristan, Rory, you guys can go in now" Louise said, taking her seat next to Maddy.

"Tristan, you go alone"

"Okay" he said with a small nod as he got up and went into his best friends hospital room.

"Man...you gotta wake up. You have to be okay. We all need you, we need you to live. And most importantly...Rory needs you"

Meanwhile...

"Hey Ror, you wanna go get some coffee?" Lorelai offered. Rory nodded and they got up in search of the elixir of life.

"So...I spilled my secret. Now tell me why Luke is MIA"

"Oh, he had some things he needed to take care of at the diner. He wanted to come but I told him to just stay and finish up" she lied, looking down at her coffee.

"Oh. That's okay, I was just wondering because usually you always drag him along"

"Well...not this time"

"It's okay, really. I was just curious. But it's nice that dad is here"

"Yeah, I was going home to get my car and he was there waiting and wanted to come along. So, we should get back so you can go see Logan"

"Okay" she said with a small nod as they walked back to the waiting room. Tristan was sitting in his chair and he nodded at her, signaling that she could go in.

She pushed open the door and slowly walked to the chair beside his bed, sitting down and taking his hand in hers.

"Logan. You may not be awake but I know you can hear me. Logan, you have to wake up. We still need you. The world needs your talents and there are people that still need your love. You have to wake up and be okay because that's who you are. Nothing can get in your way because you dont let anything get in your way. God, this is all my fault. If I hadnt dragged you into this whole mess with Dean...I would be in this situation and not you. You dont deserve this. I'm so sorry Logan. But we need you to wake up, I need my best friend. You've always been there for me and now it's my turn to be there for you"

"It's not your fault Ace..." came his groggy voice as he slowly turned his head to face her.

"You're awake" she said with a growing smile which he returned.

"I've been awake"

"I'm gonna go tell everyone" she said, squeezing his hand before getting up and moving back to the waiting room. "Hey, everyone, he's awake"

Mitchum and Shira got up and went back in to see their son. After everyone had gone in again the doctors came back just to make sure everything was okay.

"We'd like to keep him overnight, just as a precaution. We'll check him out one last time in the morning and he should be able to go home then"

"That's fine, doctor" Mitchum said with a nod. He looked back into the room where Logan, Rory, Colin and Finn were talking. He walked over to Logan to tell him the news. "Logan, they want to keep you overnight. Just a precaution"

"Okay"

"We will stay with you, if you like"

"You dont need to dad, unless you want to"

"Oh, we'll be glad to stay with him, Mitchum" Colin said with a warm smile, motioning to himself, Finn and Rory.

"Yeah, I dont have any classes tomorrow" Rory said.

"Neither do we"

"Okay then. We'll be back in the morning Logan. Night son"

"See you in the morning dad"

Everyone left except for Rory, Finn and Colin who got settled in the chairs in Logans room.

"Thanks for staying guys"

"Of course, mate"

They all drifted off to sleep within a matter of hours.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crappy ending. Well I had to end it somewhere and I thought, why not with them falling asleep? Okay so i originally had written the conversation between Rory and Lorelai differently, but I rethought it and wanted to save that part for the next chapter most likely. Well this one's a tad longer and I revealed what some of you had already guessed. Well, I hope you liked this one. Please review!
