"Logan?" Rory said surprised
"Can I come in?" Logan asked brushing past her and into the apartment
"What, What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in London."
"I know, but I blew off my promise, for you, stood up to my father, for you, and came home, again for you. I hope your not missing the pattern." Logan said sarcastically
"How can I when you're throwing it right in my face?" Rory spat back.
"I come back to an empty apartment and a note saying that you'd gone. I searched everywhere for you, with no luck. Finally I called your mother, who yelled at me. Thanks for that."
"I didn't think you were coming back. What did you want me to do, wait for you to come around? My mom did that and look where it got her, my dad broke her heart every time he came back into our lives. I don't want the same thing to happen to me, so I moved out, and pretended to move on. I am going to take care of this baby by myself, you left, and you come back and tell me your ready now? It doesn't work like that Logan. You can't just come and leave as you choose."
"I am not your dad, OK. I was just taken by surprise. I needed time to process; it was some pretty heavy news Rory."
"You could've called, or something, but you didn't. I didn't hear from you…" She trailed off, "your can have any girl you want, Logan, who wants a knocked up girlfriend?"
"Plenty of people, Ace, Heath Ledger, Ben Affleck, Matt Damen."
"And how many of them are going to stay together?"
"Probably none of them, but at least People will have something to write about." Logan said smiling.
"This isn't funny."
"I am here to stay Rory, You can trust me."
"Prove it." Rory said and fled the apartment.
Logan's POVLogan went after her, running down the street to catch up. A hard fall rain had begun to descend, and Logan shivered with the cold, but he shrugged it off and kept going.
"Damn it, Rory, wait." He called down the street.
"Why?" Rory asked, whipping around. "So you can yell at me again? I don't think so. I am walking out this time Logan, not you, me." She starred at him intently, her eyes filled with a rage he had never seen before. After a minute of silence, Logan said:
"I don't want to yell, I just don't' know what else to do. I Love you Rory. I want to be with you. I told you once that I could be a boyfriend, and I did. I screwed up, but it all worked out in the end. I am telling you now that I can do this."
"It isn't going to be easy. My mom, and your parents..." she trailed off, "I haven't even told my grandparents yet."
"We can do this, Ace, its you and me."
"I used to think so, but now, now I just don't know anymore. What am I suppose to do when you leave?' she said a sad smile coming across her face. "This isn't going to be easy, and you can't just leave when things get hard. And trust me, its going to be hard. This isn't something that you can shrug off, it's a lifetime commitment, and I am not sure your ready for that."
"What makes you so sure that I'll leave?"
"What makes you so sure that you won't?" Rory retorted. With that she turned around and started to walk away. This time he let her go, just standing in the rain, watching her walk away. Logan stood outside for an unknown while after the dark had swallowed her, just standing in the rain. Waiting for her to come back, or for him to think of something worthy to say. But there was nothing. After a few more moments, Logan turned around and started for home.
