I don't Know

----

She stretched her legs lazily feeling the sleep drain from her muscles, she couldn't remember ever feeling so comfortable in her bed before. She stretched her arms outwards and her right came in contact with warm flesh it shocked her and the events of last night came rushing back to her. She turned her head slowly hoping and praying it was all just a dream and she hadn't turned her straight forward and simple life into a complicated ex-boyfriend sort of way, but their was Logan Huntzberger sleeping like a baby beside her. She wanted to scream, scream at the top of her lungs in fright in confusion in anger. But she wouldn't, quickly and quietly she turned rolling out of the bed scooping up her clothes from around the room and quickly dressing she fled the room to safety. Hailing a cab her mind flew back to the room run from, why was she so upset she had slept with Logan before in fact she had had one night stands before so why was this one so different? Was it because she knew she still loved him? She had taken that love and put it out of mind it was a harmless love until last night when she saw him after two and half years, it all came back every hurt of that love. They say love burns, she didn't think they meant quite like she was feeling at that particular moment.

Rory slunk out of the cab at her desired destination tipping the cab driver generously for no reason she could justify. She walked to the apartment doors and rang in suite twenty two waiting for Jim to answer she didn't care how early it was or if he had some woman probably that Rosanna he left with. This mess was naturally all his fault. Waiting another half a minute she rang again…and again. On the fourth try he answered grumpily.

"Jimmy g'morning hope I'm not helping the hangover! Open Up!"

She didn't get a reply but the door buzzed open and she swung it open and made her way to the second floor and suite twenty-two. She rapped on the door and it swung open seconds later.

"Rory" he spoke groggily. "What are you doing here?"

"I had sex with Logan." She reported bluntly walking into his apartment. "Is anyone else here?" She turned to look at him in his flannel pyjama pants.

"No we didn't get that…wait you slept with Logan, oh my God what the hell happened?"

"I don't know." She sank onto the couch. He was there and we have so much history. I still love him but oh God why did I reopen that can of worms?"

Jim rubbed a hand across his face. "Just a sec who came on to who?"

"I came onto him I kissed him. I never wanted this to happen I had too much to drink I let my body win I don't want to be with him."

"Ror let me get this straight you love him but you don't want to be with him that doesn't make sense." He shook his head stepping closer to her.

"I'm living my own life now Jim Logan's part of the past no matter how much I love him." She looked at him pleadingly. He rubbed a hand through his hair trying to think all this through. "Rory maybe Logan can be a part of your new life this life it's a different time a different place things could turn out differently." He sat beside her draping an arm around her shoulders pulling her close.

"I don't know" she said tiredly leaning into him.

"Come on its five thirty in the morning maybe things will seem clearer on the other side of the sunrise. You can borrow a shirt and sweats." She nodded thankful for Jim he always knew what she needed. Changing into the shirt and sweats she climbed under the covers falling asleep almost immediately.

Waking to the smell of coffee and a burning hangover her nose led her to the food.

"Hey Babe you feeling better now?"

"No" she replied groggily reaching for the coffee mug he held for her. "But this will help." She took a gulp of the coffee feeling it warm its way down.

"Here you go bacon and pancakes."

"Wow why is it that I never dated you?" She looked up with thankful eyes.

"I think it's the multiple times I rejected you."

"Oh right." They both chuckled quietly minding their headaches. It was a running joke between the two after having hooked up for a night of 'summer lovin' they had realized they weren't meant to be more than friends. In which they did and very close friends at that.

"So what are you going to do about Logan?" He asked well on his way to devouring his food.

She shook her head slowly watching her food, speaking in an almost inaudible voice she mouthed, "I don't know."

-

After breakfast she grabbed a quick shower and pulled on her clothes from the night before. Walking into Jim's living room towel drying her hair she spotted Jim watching television from the luxury of his couch.

"Hey so I didn't tell you the news."

"Good or bad?" He asked distractedly.

"Good."

"Lay it on me."

"Logan offered us, you and me jobs at the newspaper he's opening."

"What?" His full attention now on her.

"Well you have to bring in your résumé and portfolio but you're practically a lock if you want it. It's at the bottom of the chain but with your credentials you'd probably shoot up it."

"Sounds awesome thanks Rory. I assume you've got the number."

"Uh…yeah…"

"But its Logan your ex who you still love but not love and who you just had sex with. Rory I'm just going to come out and say this, this whole thing is messed up and you have two options phone Logan tell him how you feel and be happy or two don't call him don't take the job he offered, others will come along and leave him where he was in your life a piece of Rory history." She opened her mouth to comment but he silenced her with his hand. "But let me tell you this I know you pretty dang well, I've met your mother for Pete's sake and I think that speaks for itself and I have never seen you the way you were last night you were glowing you can deny and deny all you want but it's the whole truth and nothing but."

She sat staring at him she had no idea what to say.

"Wow Rory Gilmore speechless that's only happened what two, three times?"

"Be quiet." She threw a pillow at him. "Let's go you ready?" She pulled her hair into a bun.

"Yep let's go." Jim grabbed his keys and jacket following Rory into the hallway and locking the door behind. They walked wordlessly into the elevator before Jim elbowed her gently in the arm. "Whatchya thinking?"

"That I'm going to have to kick your white ass for knowing me too well. Seriously it's scary that you know me like that."

"Hey what can I say I'm an intuitive guy." Rory burst out laughing and laughed her way off the elevators.

"What I am. Chicks like that." He protested she just laughed harder. "Why are you laughing?"

"I…don't…know…" She managed to get out.

----

Two days past before she got up the nerve to call Logan from the schools cafeteria. Keeping it all business Rory set up a meeting between Logan Jim and herself cutting the ending short so Logan had no time to get personal. Even with what Jimmy had told her she was determined to avoid Logan with all her might so she had neither to choose option A or B.

----

"Come on Rory."

"Five minutes Jimmy I told you."

"At least buzz me in I can help you pick out your clothes."

"What do you know about clothes?"

"You can try them on and I'll tell you if they're hot or not." The door buzzed and he opened it following his well worn route to her apartment. She was waiting for him her head stuck outside the door. Jimmy was ushered in the door and he looked around at her floor littered with clothes. "I thought you didn't care about making a statement?"

"Of course I don't I'm so over Logan, but I can't look like a bum"

"Of course." Though he wasn't convinced.

"Sit on the couch" She shuffled to her room emerging a few moments later in a long sleeved v-neck shirt and flashy skirt. Jim shook his head and she shut the door coming out in a blouse and black pants he shook his again and she zipped back into her room. This time she wore a knee length black skirt matched to a blue long sleeved top with a small sparkling faux diamond cross necklace.

"Hot" Jimmy complimented. "It's dressed up enough for the interview but casual enough to seem like you went to no trouble."

"Have you been watching What not to Wear again Jim?" She teased calling out from inside her room.

"Possibly." He muttered. She grabbed a pair of shoes, her bag filled with her résumé and features. "Let's go Stacy."

"Once I watched it once." He cried.

"Okay" She laughed as they stepped onto the elevator.

----

They stepped off the elevator on the sixth floor of the Bershley building. The floor was abuzz with carpenters putting in lights and constructing office spaces. They took a tentative step forwards looking for some sign of Logan. "Are you sure he said today?"

"Pretty sure." Rory answered back. They stood unsurely in the center of the entrance room no one looked at them twice. Just as Rory was about to suggest they leave Logan appeared from somewhere to Jim and Rory's left. He approached them a smile lighting his face, he stuck out his hand for Rory. "Rory." He spoke professionally she took his hand shaking it while looking at Jim giving him a wide eyed look trying to convey her awkwardness and surprise towards Logan's greeting.

Logan dropped Rory's hand and moved toward Jim. "Jim good to see you again. Follow me." He turned on his heel.

Rory looked over at Jim again who shrugged his shoulders. They followed Logan through the hall; he looked over his shoulder once to warm them of falling chunks of ceiling. Logan opened a yellow wood door and ushered the two in. He closed the door behind them shutting out the din of the carpenters and making his way behind the mahogany desk, the focal point of the room.

"So Jim Rory tells me you are an excellent writer." Logan started.

"I put my heart and soul into the pieces I write and I hope to God they turn out with as much fervour as I put in them."

"Cool lets see your stuff." Jimmy unzipped his bag and pulled out the portfolio of his articles. Logan skimmed through a couple of the articles before retraining his eyes on Jimmy. "From what I've just read I can't call you a liar."

"Thank-you."

"I want you on this paper, why don't you just tell me a bit about your schooling and life."

"Okay well I took graduated with top honours among the graduating class of Columbia school of Journalism. After graduation I decided to travel around Europe for a year coming back I looked for a stable job but couldn't find one that suited me so I did some freelance writing. I landed the job at the Boston Carrier about a year and a half ago. I've been at the bottom or near it for most of that time there's just not enough room to advance, with so many writers already on staff."

"Cool you sound like a perfect fit here, why don't you fill this out for me you can go through the door to the right there and I'll talk to Rory."

"Sure." He gave Rory a surreptitious look grabbing the sheet of paper and heading to the door. When Jim had shut the door Logan turned to Rory. "Jim seems like an awesome guy thanks for recommending him."

"Yeah…sure." She lifted her hand.

"Look Rory…"

"I know Logan I shouldn't have run off like that the other morning but that can't happen again I've left that in the past."

"That's great Rory but I was going to say that looking at Jim's work I want to hire him as a columnist I thought it would be fair since you recommended him that I let you know first so it won't be a surprise. I owe you that."

"Oh…sure." She repeated herself.

"You are an amazing writer and I have no doubt you'll move up the ladder quickly once you've graduated your schooling or possibly even faster if you still have the same go as you did when we were still together."

"Logan…"

"So why don't you fill this out and I can give you the details closer to the opening."

"Oh sure." She felt dumb what the hell had just happened?

"Great. Here you go I'll be right back." He exited the room going back into the hallway. Rory sat staring blankly at the sheet of paper. Jim rested a hand on her shoulder and she jumped from shock. "Didn't go so well Rory?"

She shook her head mutely. "He treated me like shit I guess I deserve that."

"Maybe you did Rory maybe you both deserve to be treated like shit by each other."

"Thanks Jim I feel much better." Sarcasm dripping from her tongue.

"I wasn't trying to make you feel better I was telling you the utter truth because you need it and I am your best friend after your Mom."

"You're right." She sighed lifting a pen and starting to fill out the sheet Logan had handed her. Finishing she put the paper in the middle of Logan's desk just as he re-entered the office. "I'm done Logan."

"Thanks I'll call you when I have more information."

"Great." She stepped around him and exited the office.

Logan gave her no second look. "Jim it was good seeing you again and I'll get back to you when I have more details."

"Great thanks Logan and it was good to see you again." They shook hands over Logan's desk before Jim made his way to the door. He rested his hand on the doorknob something holding him back. "I know what you're doing Logan." He looked back at the blonde man at his desk. "But it's not going to work. Rory worked hard to forget she isn't going to work that hard to remember when you treat her like crap. She'll probably kill me for telling you this but when she moved here she was a complete wreck, confused, hurt, lost, you were part of that lots of drunken nights were spent crying over you, when she finally started turning around you were put in the past compartmentalized away so she wouldn't hurt so bad. Then you come back into her life and things re-emerge and you treat her like that she figures its better all in the past. If you love her Logan you'll make it better in the future you'll ask her what really happened those two years since she left you 'cause that's the real story Logan not the fluffy one she probably painted for you." He swung the door open and left the office without waiting for a response.

Finding Rory at the elevators he wrapped an arm around her shoulders hoping she'd be okay he didn't want to see her slip again.
