Chapter Thirteen: A Bomb Is Dropped

"Rory, I need to talk to you," Rory looked at Callie, still not moving away from Logan's arm. Something about Callie bothered her, the overly sweet exterior that she was sure housed some snooty girl. She did not want Callie having anything to talk to her about, it made her nervous.

"Yes?"

"Is your father Christopher Hayden?" Rory nodded, unsure of where Callie was heading.

"Yes, he is my father," Callie nodded, grasping her purse tightly.

"This is really hard for me, but, there is something that you should know,"

"Okay, what is it?" Callie didn't answer for a moment, almost as if for dramatic effect.

"Rory, Christopher Hayden is my father," Rory separated herself from Logan, her body in shock. Had this girl just say that Christopher was her father?

"What?"

"Christopher Hayden is my father,"

"Wait, how is that possible? You're our age right?"

"Yeah,"

"And, my dad was dating my mom exclusively when she got pregnant. If you're his kid that would mean-" Rory stopped, her eyes growing wide. It couldn't be true, it couldn't.

"Rory-"

"How do you know? Do you have a paternity test? Do you have proof?" Callie nodded, feeling an unusual wave of sympathy for the broken brunette before her.

"Yes, I am sure that Christopher Hayden is my dad. Actually, I've always known," Rory looked at Callie, her eyes filling with tears.

"You've always known?"

"Yeah, he lived by my mom and I and would come over a lot. I knew ever since I was little," Rory felt as if she had been punched in the stomach. All throughout her childhood while she had waited anxiously for his weekly or monthly call Callie had seen him regularly. He had favored Callie, seeing her often, while all she got was a stupid phone call that barely lasted over fifteen minutes.

"I have to go," Rory blurted out, walking away quickly. Logan followed her, giving Callie a quick look as he walked past her. He didn't know if he believed her, all he knew was that Rory was extremely upset and needed her.

"Rory," He called out, going after her. She kept walking, not stopping until she got to their tree, the canopy of leaves seeming to shield her from the world. She sunk down onto the hard ground, wrapping her arms around herself. Logan sat next to her, not saying anything. He knew that she had to talk and he was there to listen.

"My whole life is a lie. This entire time I thought I was my dad's only kid, that my mom was the only girl he loved. He cheated on her, that is the only thing that could explain Callie. The whole time when I was young I thought he only called because he was busy. He wasn't busy, he was probably with Callie. Showering her with love, being a father to her,"

"Rory, your father loves you,"

"He cheated on my mom, and then hid it from her. He impregnated another girl and just goes on with life. I can't believe him,"

"You should talk to him. You should hear his side of the story," Rory shook her head, tears beginning to fall down her face.

"He didn't want me to know about her. He never told me, he didn't on purpose. He kept it from me," Logan put his arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes.

"Ace, everything will be okay,"

"I hate this. My life was so good. We were back together, my friends were great, my classes were good. My family life was normal, and now this. Now I have to find out my dad was a sleazy frat boy who couldn't keep it in his pants," Logan smirked.

"You really have a way with words Ace,"

"It's never going to be the same,"

"It will, just give it time," Logan kissed her on the head, holding her tighter.

"Promise me something," Rory said suddenly, her voice soft.

"What?"

"Promise me that we will stay together. That you will be here for me," She looked up at him as she spoke, her eyes pleading for him to promise her he would do all that entailed.

"I promise,"

"Do you promise you promise?" Rory asked, so sincerely that Logan couldn't help but smile. He kissed her lips tenderly, hoping to convey to her what words couldn't.

"I promise Ace, I'm here for you,"

Rory walked up to Callie, feeling extremely nervous. Here was this girl that she had just met and who ended up to be her half-sister. If she wasn't rushed to befriend her before, she certainly was now. She mustered up all her courage and greeted her, surprised by how strong her voice sounded.

"Hey Callie,"

"Oh, hi Rory," They both stood awkwardly together, neither of them continuing the conversation. Rory was about to chicken about, to bolt, but told herself that she had to go through with it. She had to set things straight with Callie, make things right.

"I just want you to know that I want to be friends, maybe even sisters eventually," Rory said, "Even though the circumstances in which we discovered eachother was not the best, it shouldn't compromise our future," Callie nodded, smiling.

"I'm glad to hear that. I've never had a sister but have always wanted one," Rory smiled back at her, beginning to feel more relaxed.

"Me too, but I wanted an older brother. Someone that I could have play boys when I played house. My mom tried to be boys but it never was quite the same,"

"I can imagine. Listen, if we're going to be moving forward with this I feel that everything should be out in the open,"

"I completely agree,"

"Okay, then I think that it is only fair to tell you that Logan and I dated exclusively for a while," Once again Rory felt as if she had been punched in the stomach. She had been feeling so comfortable and then Callie drops this on her. She nodded and plastered on a fake smile.

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah, we were pretty serious for a while, but then I kind of screwed things up. Then he screwed things up even more to retaliate for me initially screwing things up. Let's just say things were very...screwy," Rory nodded, trying to absorb all the information.
"Okay,"

"It was a very messy break up and very bad for both of us," She paused, looking at Rory with a wistful smile, "I'm glad that he was able to move on though. He seems really happy with you,"

"We are very happy," Rory responded. The conversation hit yet another lull and Rory concluded that it was time she went on her way. She said good bye and then walked away, not at the least unsure of where she would be going next.

Logan was listening to music when his door bell rang. He put down the bowl of cereal he was eating and walked to the door, opening it with a large swoop of the door. He found Rory at his door, looking a bit distressed.

"Ace, are you-"

"Why didn't you tell me that you and Callie dated?"

"Uh-"

"I kind of feel that you dating my half-sister is something that I should know," Rory replied, walking past Logan into his dorm.

"I didn't think it was important,"

"Not important? Logan, she is my half-sister, we share half of the same blood! We even look alike!"

"You don't look alike," Logan stated truthfully. Callie was pretty and so was Rory, but they were completely different. Callie was dark and mysterious whereas Rory was the girl next door; her sheltered cautious personality countering Callie's spontaneous one. Logan liked Rory's innocence though, it was what had initially drawn him to her.

"Yes we do, we both have brown hair,"

"That is true, but Callie does not have blue eyes like you do. Blue eyes that I love very much by the way,"

"Don't sweet talk me Huntzberger," Rory said sternly, but he could tell that she was beginning to calm down. Rory could only stay perturbed for so long before she began to cool off.

"I'm not, it's the truth,"

"Were you afraid to tell me? Were you afraid of how I'd react?"

"No, to tell you the truth I didn't think it mattered. Things were going so well I figured that telling you something that useless would be a waste of breath and only add more stress on our relationship,"

"You think there's stress on our relationship?" Rory asked astounded, her voice small and mousy. Logan sighed, taking her hands. Obviously simply reassuring was not going to convince Rory that he had nothing to hide.

"Ace, Callie and I dated for a while in high school, we were pretty serious. We lost our virginity together and I will admit that I loved her. She cheated on me while drunk and to retaliate I slept with other people as well, a very stupid decision. It ended badly and we never really talked after it,"

"Did you have to tell me about the virginity loss thing?" Rory asked, her nose wrinkled up.

"This is full disclosure, you wanted to know everything and I told you everything,"

"Is that all?"

"Yes, that is all," Rory nodded, her face a mix of emotions. She pulled him into a hug, wrapping her arms tightly around him.

"I'm sorry I snapped at you. I just have a lot on my mind and when Callie told me about you guys I just kind of cracked,"

"I understand,"

"It was stupid of me,"

"No," Logan said, pulling away from her, "It wasn't. We're in a relationship and I love you. That means if you have any problems or concerns you talk to me. You did the right thing," Rory smiled and kissed him.

"You're a good boyfriend,"

"I know," She smiled, playfully smacking him on the arm.

"Now don't get cocky. Do you want to go out for some food, maybe invite the whole gang?"

"Yeah, sure,"

"Let's invite Callie too. I think I want to be able to get to know my half sister a bit better,"

"Are you sure," Rory nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, I am sure,"

A/N: OKay...so please review. I just want to clarify that Callie is not evil and will not interfere in Rory and Logan's relationship. I just wanted new characters to play around with...so I made one up. However, don't think that our golden couple is completely safe...someone from Rory's past will be coming to shake things up!
