So all I have to do to get a bunch of reviews is make you think that Jess is going to come in and steal Rory. Good to know. Don't worry this is a Rogan. I prefer Rory with rich white kids. No offense to Stars Hollow. Chris will be back soon. Jamie and Paris are probably getting back together. I'm going to stop now. I can't let you know where I'm going with this. Thanks for reading and reviewing the last chapter. I loved every last review. They made me smile and laugh. They made me feel terribly evil for making you worry. Still my favorite has to be mochaddicted79 because I too often find him blind and ignorant. So thank you so much. I decided to reward all of my reviewers by updating the first chance I got.

She could barely hear Logan inviting Jess into the pool house. She could barely feel Logan's warm embrace as he guided her inside. All she could think was what was he doing here now. She had missed him and wanted him to be there so badly for so long in the days after Dean but before Logan. Still he didn't show up. Jess never showed up when he was needed most. Now for the first time since then things were good, really good. She was in love with a guy who loved her back and wasn't married and didn't mind making plans. She had a father who was devoted to her. She had a relationship with both of her grandmothers. All she needed now was her mother to apologize for turning her back on her. She needed her mother not Jess. She looked up and saw Logan watching her with a worried look on his face. He mouthed the words are you okay? She nodded a little and then made her way into her room to change.

Logan watched Rory slowly make her way to the bedroom as set the takeout onto the dining room table and made his way into the kitchen. He poured Rory a cup of coffee with a splash of Wild Turkey. He had a feeling she would need it to calm her nerves. He started to only pull down two plates but then remembered that they had an unexpected guest. "Uh Jess you want something to eat?"

Jess looked at Logan wish disdain. He didn't like guys like him. He never would. They were worse than the Deans of the world. They were cocky assholes. He had a feeling it wouldn't take much to push his buttons. Yep, that's what he would do. He would push Logan's buttons and force him to be the one to make an ass out of himself. That was how he ruined things between Rory and Dean. He just made Dean make an out of himself. Rory would come running to him as soon as she saw his true dickhead colors shining through. "Yeah that would be great. Thanks."

Rory walked into her bedroom and took off her jewelry. She put her heels in the closet and then made her way back into the living room. She saw him sitting on the couch looking at her home with a lackluster smile on his face. She sighed. She didn't know how to deal with him. She frowned a bit and then made her way into the kitchen with Logan. She needed to make sure he was okay with this. "Hey." She said after kissing him slowly on the lips. It was their soft kisses that she found the most sensual.

"Hi," Logan said softly. He smirked at him. "Are you sure you're okay?"

Rory bit her lip and nodded. She let out a ragged breath and sort of shrugged. "I just wasn't expecting him to show up here tonight. Are you okay?"

Logan smirked again. "Of course I'm okay. I trust you and I know that you love me as much as I love you."

"That I do." Rory started to kiss him again but heard someone softly clear their throat. She pulled back and turned around to see Jess standing there. She fixed her lip gloss and then smiled. "Sorry. Let's eat shall we?"

Jess nodded and backed out of the kitchen. He shook his head a little trying to erase the scene he had just witnessed. No one was supposed to kiss Rory like that except him. He made a point to slightly touch her with his hand when he was reaching for the okra.

Logan took a bite of the cornbread and sighed. He loved cornbread. He loved cornbread almost as much as he loved Rory. Once he was done savoring his cornbread he noticed that the table was silent. Jess was staring at Rory but Rory was staring at her plate. Logan reached over and gently grabbed Rory's hand. He gave her a reassuring smile. "So Jess what brings you to Hartford?"

"I just felt like leaving Philly for a little while." Jess explained. The truth is he needed to see Rory. The moment his book was published he hopped in his car and went to see her. He wanted her to see he could make something of himself. He hadn't been expecting her to be with this guy though. She thought Rory would never fall for guys like Logan. The kind of guys who had more going for them in the money and looks department than they did in the personality and intelligence.

Logan nodded. He waited for someone else to say something. This meal was more intense and awkward than most of his families meals together. It was even more awkward than the first one that Honor brought Josh to. He smirked a bit at the memory. He thought is grandfather was going to keel over right then and there. At the time Josh's hair had been shaggy and he looked more like an activist than a Yale law student. "So Rory did you talk to Josh's friend about renting one of the yachts for the evening?" Logan had been meaning to ask her about it for a while but always forgot the moment their lips touched.

"Yeah I did. He even cut me a deal. Its going to cost the D.A.R. half as much as I originally planned which means we now have more money to spend on the debutante ball." Rory had perked up at the topic because she had been so proud of how she handled the negotiations.

Logan smirked and then kissed her softly. "Congratulations. I know you were worried that the yacht would set you over."

"So you plan events for some organization called the "D.A.R." as a job?" Jess asked slowly. He couldn't imagine Rory doing a job like that. She was too smart for a job like that.

Rory stopped smiling at Logan and looked at Jess. "Yeah I plan events for the Daughters of the American Revolution."

Logan looked at his watch and yawned. He was tired. "I'm going to go ahead and go to bed because I have a lecture first thing in the morning about how the Internet is not only enabling but disabling the news." Logan said as he kissed her gently. He turned to Jess who was staring at him in an angry manner. "It was nice meeting you Jess."

"That sounds like one exciting lecture. I'm sure Mitchum would love it." Rory joked. "Good night Master and Commander."

There was this twinkle in Logan's eye when Rory said Master and Commander that just made Jess want to kick Logan's ass right here right now. He clenched his teeth and pretended to be oblivious though. He smiled instead of saying goodnight to Logan. He watched Rory as she watched Logan leave.

Rory sighed when Logan shut the door to her bedroom and then she looked back at Jess. "So how did you know I was here?"

"Luke told me. He also told me that you and your mom are fighting over that jackass."

Rory gritted her teeth. "That's like the pot calling the kettle black don't you think Jess."

Jess was surprised to say the least by this new "I don't take your shit" Rory. "Rory I didn't come here to fight."

"Then why did you come here?" She asked softly. The icy bite had now left her voice.

Jess reached into his jacket and pulled out the small novel he had created. He handed it to her and watched as she read the cover.

Rory read each word and was surprised to see that it had been written by Jess himself. She looked up. She wasn't sure what to say. She couldn't believe Jess had actually accomplished something. "You wrote this?"

"Yeah I did."

Rory smiled and nodded. "Congratulations on getting it published. I'm sure it's just one of many more to come."

Jess smiled and reached forward to gently grab her hand. He frowned though when she pulled away. "What's wrong? I mean Rory you can't say you don't miss us. I miss you. I'm not over you."

"Yeah but see that is the thing you never understood. The relationship wasn't just about you. It takes two people to have a relationship. It was about both of us." Rory explained. She should have known he was coming to try to rekindle something that had died a long time ago. She looked at the door to the room where Logan was sleeping. "I don't miss you. A year ago yeah I missed you, but not now."

Jess didn't like where this was going. He was sure that he would come to her in this damn denim jacket with that book and she would swoon and they would get back together. He was sure that she would want to return to what they used to be. He was the love of her life right? Shouldn't she want to be with him? "He's worse than Dean."

Rory took a deep breath trying to control her anger. She didn't like the way he was talking about Logan. He had no right to judge. He had no right to act like he was the better man. "You know I never understood why my mother liked Dean more than you. I always thought she was just passing judgment too quickly. I always thought she just didn't see you in the same light as I did." She paused. "Now I get it though. You don't see your own damn faults Jess. You're quick to point out everyone else's but you don't see your own."

Jess didn't say anything. He just stared at her. There was no emotion in his eyes. He was just sitting there like he was made of stone.

"What you don't have anything to say?" Rory asked her voice was as cold as Antarctica.

"Dean was an ass. He was a dumb jock. He didn't deserve you." Jess stood up and pointed to the door to her bedroom. "That guy in there is just some spoiled rich kid who got into Yale because of his last name. He drives a fancy car to tell people that he isn't aching in the finance department. He is everything you hated when you were at Chilton."

Rory shook her head. She no longer could control her anger. "Jess did you ever think that maybe it doesn't matter how smart you are as long as you are a nice person. Dean cared about me in a way you never did. You were moody. You never made plans. You treated me like an afterthought. We never did things with other couples mostly because you hated everybody. You were the worst boyfriend I've ever had." She willed herself not to cry. She looked at him. She looked into his eyes to see if he felt bad and if he believed the things she was saying. She couldn't believe that the answer was probably no. "He drives from New Haven to Hartford almost everyday to see me. He would fly to Jamaica to get me coffee if I asked him to. He calls me. He cares about what I'm thinking. We have couple friends. We do things with other people. We make plans. I love him. He loves me. We have a lot in common even though you don't like it. My family has money. My mother acts like she doesn't but she's an heiress. She's a Gilmore. I'm a Gilmore Hayden. I am not what you all make me out to be. I am also not the same girl who felt bad when everybody hated you for crashing my car. I'm twenty one years old and I can stand on my own two feet."

Jess shook his head. "You're the love of my life Rory."

"Too bad you never treated me like it when you had me. I've moved on. He's the love of my life. He's the one who I would give up coffee for." Rory told him quietly. "I think you should leave now Jess. I've got errands to run first thing in the morning and I can't stay up all night."

"Tell me that you don't love me. If you can tell me that you don't love me anymore than I'll leave. I'll go back to Philly as suddenly as I came."

Rory looked him in the eye. She cleared her throat a little. "I don't love you anymore."

"He's one lucky asshole." Jess said with his eyes closed. He then made his way out the door and into the night. He did just as he told her. He left as suddenly as he came.

Rory smiled a little as she watched him go. He was a chapter of her life she wouldn't have to deal with anymore. She quietly crept into her bedroom and found Logan lying on his side of the bed. She loved the way he looked when he was sleeping. She slipped out of her dress and into his shirt. She then quietly crawled into bed next to him. She smiled as he readjusted himself so that she was in his arms.

"Are you still okay?" Logan asked quietly.

Rory smiled into his chest. She softly kissed his chest. "Yeah I am. I'm actually better."

"Thank you for sticking up for me. I do remember you having the same opinion of me when we first met." Logan joked.

"Yeah but I'm not an asshole so for me to think you were an asshole was totally valid. Jess is an asshole so for him it was like so hypocritical. I love you Logan. I really do."

Logan kissed her softly on the forehead. "Good because I love you too and I would totally have to kick a brother's ass if he tried to come between us."

Rory laughed. They both laid there just smiling and enjoying the feeling of being in each other's arms until finally they both fell asleep.

That was the update! That was the chapter that relieved a lot of you I think! I needed some drama! I wanted Rory to have an emotional scene! Thank you for reading! Review please! There is going to be more drama in the next chapter! I really hope you liked it.
