A/N: Oh yeah! Here we go...a quick update:D hehe...now, I know my track record with updates isn't that great but let's hope it gets better okay? Oh btw for those of you who are confuzzled...I used to be known as BeautyAce

Curley-Q – Thank you so much, I hope this chapter does not disappoint (although it's just the first half of chapter 2)

LexHuntxberger – My bad, I apologize and thank you a great deal for pointing that out! It is meant to read Heartache. Thank you for the review.

Alenor – Thanks for the review, oh and Jenny is my OC. She's a girl that's going to be a fairly constant character just as a way for Rory to interact with someone who's suffered something of the same heartache. She'll become a little sister to Rory but not to worry; she won't eat up a huge part of the story.

Holy Cross Baby – Thank you for the review and not to worry this story won't drag on a great deal. I don't want it to be very long and the plot is about to become really windy so I hope it'll keep you interested and engrossed

CHAPTER 2

"Rory Gilmore, you're needed in room 716. It's a minor case of hypotension. According to her parents she just collapsed all of a sudden. Her blood pressure is shockingly low; it's a miracle she made it thus far. However, she's a lot better now. We just need you to look after her for a while; that ok?"

"Sure Sarah. I have to work off the hours somehow don't I?" responded Rory happily. She loved working in the hospital for community service; it was, after all, the only thing that got her mind off Logan for more than an hour a day.

Walking briskly down the lengthy corridors, she finally reached her destination. Turning the handle and gently pushing the heavy door, she entered quietly so as not to awake the, supposedly, sleeping patient. Adjusting the flowers on her bedside and closing the blinds slightly, Rory was once again thrown back down memory lane when she did exactly the same thing...but for somebody completely different.

Rory walked into the hospital, her heart racing and her crystal eyes full of worry and unshed tears...she should have been there; she should have gone with him when he offered but she didn't want to intrude. Look at the outcome...

"Please could you tell me what room Logan Huntzberger is in?" her voice sounded strange and foreign; even to her.

"Are you friend or family?" asked the nurse tiredly.

"I'm the in-between; I'm his girlfriend – Rory Gilmore," she replied irritably.

"I see...yes you are allowed in per his request. Room 748; take the lift."

Hurriedly, Rory mumbled her thanks and made her way to Logan's private room. On reaching her desired destination; Rory met up with the rest of the Huntzberger family. Everyone took an immediate liking to her from the moment Logan introduced them to her several months ago...they got along well...or so it seemed.

"Rory darling, I'm so glad you could make it! He's been asleep for the past couple of hours so Mitchum left quickly for the office; no doubt he'll be back soon though. You can go in if you want to," Shira's sugar-sweet voice echoed through the corridors yet Rory was too pre-occupied to notice the sublte change in Shira's demeanour since their last encounter.

"Thanks Shira." Rory gave the older woman a quick hug before reaching out to Honour who smiled in the embrace.

"You better get going if you want some alone time with my little brother before the rest of us come on in," whispered Honour as the two girls pulled apart. Rory smiled appreciatively and made her into Logan's room holding her breath...

His perfect body attached to the metal monstrosities; his blankets – a chaotic mess among all the wires and his face...his perfect face insulted by the blue and purple bruises that invaded it. Attempting to get her feet to co-operate with her mind, Rory tentativelystepped into the room. The only sound waltzing around room was the beeping of the infernal life-support machines.

Feeling awkward and wanting to make herself useful, she busied repositioning the flowers on his bedside and dimming the lights slightly. Unbeknownst to her, the patient was wide awake and watching her every move. He couldn't help but smile at her as she made her way around his room trying to tidy the already spotless location.

"If you dust that chair any more you'll burn a whole through it Ace," chuckled Logan as he shifted slightly.

Startled by his voice, Rory spun around in complete shock, "L-Logan? You're awake? How are you feeling? What's wrong? Are you okay? Is there anything I can do?" she rambled as she walked to his bedside and ran her hands through his tousled hair.

Grabbing a hold of her other hand, Logan kissed it before answering, "Er..ye; as fine as I can be; l skied off a glacier, you do the math; just peachy and yes you can."

Trying to keep track of all his answers, it took her a while before she realized what he said, "Don't mock me mister! It's not a very fun place to be – "

"You're telling me? Try being the one in the hospital bed," smirked Logan.

"Hardy-har- har; anyway, what can I do for you? You said you wanted me to do something," responded Rory slightly confused.

"Come here," responded Logan simply as he pulled her onto the bed.

"Logan! You're hurt and this bed wasn't made for more than one person to sit on," Rory pointed out.

"Ace...I haven't seen you in six weeks. Do you seriously think a little pain in my leg is going to stop me from getting you as close to me as I can?" asked Logan; all playfulness gone from his voice.

Sighing, Rory replied, "I don't care! I'm hurting you any more than you are already!"

However, Logan had already secured her body in his arms – she wasn't going anywhere.

"Logan! Let go!"

"Now now Ace, you being so worried about my well being and all, what do you think would happen to me without you?" whispered Logan in her ear before pulling her in for a passionate kiss – to which she eagerly responded.

Pulling apart when the need for oxygen became too great, Rory replied breathlessly, "Same thing that'll happen to me without you – I'd die."

"Well then I guess we're in the same boat," responded Logan, "But you know I'd never break your heart right? Nor will I ever leave you."

"I hope so Logan..."

Tilting her chin upward so he could look straight into her crystal blue eyes he said, "My answer is definite okay; I'll never be able to leave even if I was forced to, nor will I ever be able to break your heart because mine will break two-fold – from hurting you and losing the best thing that ever happened to me."

Instead of responding Rory pulled him into a kiss that spoke volumes...it said everything that words could not.

Hastily wiping the all too familiar tears from her eyes, Rory turned around to tend to her patient with the single, bitter thought on her mind, "Well, I guess promises were made to be broken..."

Okay, yes again, not much story plot action thing and I'm sorry!!! But I wanted to get this part out to sort of give you guys an idea of all the relationships in the story. From the previous chapter you could tell (at least I hope) that Rory's relationship with her mother and the Gilmores' were the same. However, the Huntzbergers are different to the show. Logan gets on with his parents – to an extent – and Honour is pretty much the same. However, as you can see, Rory also gets along with them...at least that's how it seems (and this doubt is crucial to the story). Mitchum works all the time but that is the only fact Logan has against his father (for now).

Okay so really, I do apologise. I will have the next chapter up soon though! Oh and Rory is not a doctor it's just community work.
