Thank you for the reviews, you are great! I promise, there is more Logan in the upcoming chapters, don't worry!


6. He's In London, Not Dead

Finn lay on his bed and stared up to the ceiling. All he could think of was Rory. Basically he had had feelings for her ever since he first met her. But if there was one thing Finn was good at it was hiding and ignoring his own feelings.

It had worked perfectly until Logan got out of the picture. Each day since then it had become harder to ignore his growing affection for Rory and after the kisses of the previous night Finn doubted that it would ever go away.

But he knew that Logan might not be around anymore, but he was still Rory's boyfriend. And her breakdown from the previous night showed him that she still loved him and missed him terribly, no matter what was going on between the two of them.

He knew that the best thing to do would be to stay away from her. But how should he manage to do this when she was everything he wanted? He couldn't just go back to ignoring his feelings. He needed her more than he had ever needed anyone.

Suddenly someone knocked furiously at the door and disturbed Finn's thoughts. For a second he thought that Logan had found out about him and Rory and was here now to beat the crap out of him. Even though Finn knew this was unrealistic he hesitated before opening the door and looking into Colin's angry face.

"Do you want me to punch you now or do you wanna talk first? But whatever you want, you'll not get away with this without being punched." Finn could tell that Colin was pissed off. In fact, he couldn't remember to have seen Colin that pissed ever since he had met him.

"What are you talking about, man?" Finn asked, trying to make Colin believe he didn't know what this was all about.

"Don't even try to deny it, Finn! Don't you dare to deny it! I saw you! Oh yeah, I saw you putting your tongue that deep into Rory Gilmore's mouth that you could probably taste what she had for breakfast!" Colin yelled at his best friend and some people came out of their hotel rooms to look what was going on.

Finn knew there was no way to avoid this conversation. But at least he could avoid to have it on a public hotel corridor. So he pulled Colin into his room and shut the door behind him.

Before he could say anything, Colin went on in an accusatory voice. "How could you do that, Finn? Logan is your best friend, she's his girlfriend and he loves her more than his own life. You knew all that but still you kissed her last night. Damn, Finn, why don't you stop thinking with your dick and start using your brain instead?"

"She was the one who kissed me, okay, it wasn't my fault!" Finn defended himself but he regretted the words as soon as they were out.

"She was drunk! Incredibly drunk, in fact, and upset because her boyfriend is miles away in London. She might have been the one who started the kissing but you were the one who didn't stop it. She didn't know what she was doing while you were pretty aware of the fact that what you were doing the wrong thing! You were the one who took advantage of her!" Colin accused Finn.

"Hey, man, now you go to far! I might have been doing something wrong but I could never ever take advantage of her in drunken state, or any other drunken girl, for that matter. I'm not such an ass!" Finn defended himself once more though he felt like he deserved each bad word Colin said. He really was a jerk of the worst kind!

"Okay, fine, you're not an ass. But you're not a very good friend either. In fact you're quite the opposite. I mean, I know that you've got this thing going on for Rory but she's your best friends girlfriend and I thought you would respect that, even if he's miles away."

At first Finn wanted to protest against Colin's words about him having a thing for Rory, but then he decided against it. Denial wouldn't work. Colin had this ability to detect people's feelings just in the way they were behaving. And he was right, he had a thing going on for Rory.

"I know she's Logan's girlfriend. But who knows, she doesn't have to be forever. Maybe she is going to leave him because she developed feelings for me as I did for her."

Finn didn't know exactly why he had spoken out these words. But just seconds after he had finished talking Colin's fist made contact with his face and clearly showed him that he shouldn't have said this. Totally surprised by the punch he tumbled back onto the bed behind him.

"Don't even dare to think something like that again!" Colin yelled at him. "She is Logan's girlfriend. And this is not just about her, it's about him, too. He's in London, not dead! The relationship is not over just because he's gone for a year. I know that Logan used to be a playboy who couldn't stay with one girl longer than a week, but he has changed, we both saw him change. Rory has changed him."

"Why do you tell me all this? I know it! I was there when all of it happened!" Colin gave back, angry because his best friend punched him, although he knew he deserved it somehow.

"I tell you that to remind you of it. And there is more I gotta tell you: Logan loves Rory, he loves her more than his own life. And so does she. You and me, we've known Logan since fifth grade, we've seen him struggle with his family so many times. So if anyone deserves to be loved, and I mean really loved, by a girl, then it is Logan. And as his friend I'm not going to let anyone come between him and his girlfriend, least his and my best friend. So it's your choice what you are doing from now on, but I can assure you: If you are about to do anything that will force me to choose a side, it definitely won't be yours!"

Finn stared up to one of his best friends. Yes, he knew all of that. He knew about Logan's problems with his family, about his change because of Rory. He was his best friend after all. If anyone deserved a girl like Rory and her love, it was Logan.

"So what are you going to choose, Finn? A friendship that has lasted half a lifetime or some weird feelings that will fade away soon?" Colin asked, his voice no longer as harsh as it had been all morning.

"You know me, mate, I will always choose friendship." Finn answered and his words were true. Friendship was the most important thing for the three of them, true friends were important in the society world where nothing was the way it seemed to be. "But there's one thing I have to say: Those feelings aren't simply going to fade away. I got it bad for her, man." he admitted.

Colin didn't know what to say. He knew Finn had something going on for Rory for quite some time, but he never thought it would be like this. He had never heard his friend talking about true feelings for any girl. And now out of all the girls in the world it was his best friends girlfriend.

"I know it's hard, man. Don't think I have never been in love with a girl I couldn't have. I know this is new for you and I won't lie to you, it's not funny. But even those feelings go away and one day you'll find her, the perfect girl for you. And you will get her in the end, even if it takes some time." As he spoke out those words his thoughts wandered to Steph. Yes, he had found the perfect girl and they were finally together.

"Great man, can't wait for that to happen." Finn replied sarcastically. "You know, it's great that you and Steph finally worked things out, which I suppose you have because of that moony look you got right now, but at the moment I don't care about any girl out there. Right now all I want is her."

"Well. I told you what I think about all this, damn, I even punched you. There's nothing more I can do right now." Colin gave back, his voice harder again. "You've got to decide for yourself what you are going to do about this, man!" And with that he left the room, left Finn with his own crazy thoughts and feelings and no idea what to do from now on.
