Chapter 6
"What do you mean accident?" I asked the panic rising in my voice. My mind started racing, was it Logan or Luke, or someone else?
"That was Luke on the phone."
Oh no it was Luke, so does that mean the Logan is hurt
"He said him and Logan were at the diner when Lane,"
Oh no, not Lane, not my best friend.
"Lane came rushing in crying trying to find us, and when we weren't there he said she just broke down."
"So what's wrong?" I asked wanting to know the whole story.
"Well she was crying so hard Luke couldn't make it all out, but he heard broke, and Zach. He said we needed to get down there. They couldn't calm her down."
"Well go, go, and call me when ever you find out what the matter is." Grandma said shooing us out the door.
"Will do Grandma," I replied the panic having come back to my voice.
I made mom speed all the way back to Stars Hollow; I needed to know what was wrong. When we got to the diner, I barely slowed down enough for mom to stop the car. I ran inside to find Luke, Logan, and Lane all sitting at a table laughing. I ran over to Lane and gave her a great big hug.
"Are you okay?" I asked noticing her face wasn't stained with tears.
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" She retorted.
"My mom got a phone call," I said while my moms just know walked in the diner.
"Oh, did your mom not tell you?" Lane asked starting to laugh.
"No, what's so funny?" I asked starting to laugh also.
"Sweetie, Logan asked if we could cut dinner short, and I told him we could just so long he found out a way to get us out of it. So then he came up with the idea of there being and "accident" and I said Lane should do it, since I knew she worked tonight." My mom said with rather big hand gestures.
"That is mean," I retorted beginning to pout.
"But Ace, I did it out of love." Logan said coming and wrapping his arms around me.
Lane piped in just then, "If you guys don't mind, I am going to go home, and be with my boyfriend."
"Bye Lane"
"So what are you two up to tonight?" My mom asked curiously.
"I don't," but before I could finish Logan cut me off.
"Well I was thinking we could go do something, which is why I got you out of dinner."
"Well first can we eat, I am starved." I asked giving my famous pout.
"I got Luke to make us some cheeseburgers."
"Yum, my favorite!"
"Okay, so don't do anything I wouldn't do, and be home by 1."
"So mom, I can do whatever I please?"
"Yeah, that sounds about right. Bye"
"Bye," Logan and I said in unison.
Logan grabbed my hand and we walked to the pond. He sat out a blanket he had brought. He then got out the food and drinks, and offered me a seat. I sat down and we ate in comfortable silence. I felt so safe at that moment. Once we were done, Logan laid down, and I laid on his chest.
"Ace, you know I love you right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I just wanted to make sure."
"Okay, I love you my master and commander."
He started to laugh. "You remember."
"Well of course I do."
"Ace, why do you lay on my chest, there is all this open spots."
"Why do you not like me here?"
"No, I do, I was just wondering."
"I like listening to your heartbeat."
Logan then leaned down and kissed me. Then we started talking. We talked about everything from, childhood pets, to class assignments. We had just started to kiss when my phone rang.
"Hello"
"Rory, where are you?"
"Mom?"
"No, Barney. Yes it is your mother."
"We are at the pond. Why?"
"Well it is 2 a.m. and you were supposed to be home and hour ago. Luke started to wig out on me."
"Oh crap. I totally forgot." I said quickly standing up and gathering our trash. Logan followed.
"Ok well I will see you soon."
"Bye" I hung up the phone and Logan just stared at me.
"My mom told us to be home and hour ago." He quickly got why I jumped up.
"Uh-oh is Luke going to kill me?"
"Not if we sneak you in."
When we got to my house, we walked in to find all the lights were off, and no one us downstairs. I sent Logan to my room, and I went upstairs. My mom lights were on so I walked in.
"Hey mom, where's Luke?" I asked noticing she was alone.
"He went to get some pie."
"Why?"
"Because I wanted some."
"Okay."
"So how was your date? I want to hear everything." She asked sitting up in her bed.
"Well not to brag or anything, it was wonderful. He is so sweet. We walked to the pond, and then we ate. I laid in my favorite spot."
"Oh so cute."
"Let me finish."
"Sorry."
"So as I was saying before I was interrupted. He was then like you know I love you, and I was like yes. Then we just talked about any and everything."
"Even urine mints?" My mom asked giggling, remembering my first college date.
"No, but I will bring it up next time."
"Lorelai, I got your pie. Oh hey Rory."
"Hey Luke, so I will see you guys in the morning."
I turned to walk out, when my mom stopped me.
"Where is Logan sleeping tonight?"
"Oh I hadn't thought of that. I am assuming the house."
"Okay just so you don't need to get the tent down."
"Do we own a tent?"
"No"
"Didn't think so. Night."
