Chapter Seven – Being Mrs. Hunzberger
Logan's POV
I look up at Lorelai confused. What does she mean she is asking for me? I mean three hour ago she asked me who I was and now she wants me. Wait. Why am I sat here debating this in my head, when the women I love is asking for me but before I know what is happing the words are slipping from my mouth?
"What do you mean she is asking for me?" Oh well there is no going back now.
"I mean she is asking for you, but Logan I should warn you. I am not sure how to say this" She pauses and looks at me and I can tell she is unsure of how to form the words so I tell her,
"Just say it" I reply scared that it's going to be bad, but I could never prepare myself for what came from her lips next:
"Well she thinks you two are married" I stand there trying to digest what I have just heard but I can't comprehend what I am hearing.
"She thinks we are married? I mean how is that even possible? One minute she can't be with me, the next she doesn't even know who I am and now she thinks we are married. I just don't understand", I say going to sit in the nearest seat so I don't fall down.
"Look… the doctor thinks that it may be something to do with a dream she could have had when she was asleep. He thinks it's possible she believes that it was reality" Lorelai explains to me.
"What do I do? I mean, yeah I love her and I want to marry her but I can't act like this is real. Not when one day I want it to be real." I say. I'm panicked and worried, and I look at Lorelai and see she can understand where I am coming from.
"Look Logan, what I suggest is you go in there and you see how it plays out. Then, maybe slowly break it to her that you're not married" She say as she lays a hand on my shoulder.
I stand up and make my way towards the room. I am so scared of the reaction I am going to get from Ace, because part of me may break and tell her we are married and the other part will want to tell her the truth. I have never been this torn in my life. I open the door and step in and I can see her lying in the bed with her face towards the window. I can see that she is in deep thought, so I slowly close the door behind me so I don't disturbed her, but as the door clicks shut, her head snaps round and its then that I can see she has tears running down her face. This was going to be harder than I thought. She looks so vulnerable. So young. Can I do this? Can I shatter the dreams of the person I love most in the whole world?
"Hey Ace", I whisper as I walk over to her side and take her hand in mine. Before I know what I am doing, I raise my other hand to her face and wipe away her tears with my thumb. "Your mum said you wanted to see me", I bring my hand down from her face but allow my other one to carry on holding her hand as I sit in the chair that is placed just behind me.
"Yeah... Logan, why are they all calling me Miss Gilmore? I mean we're married! should I not be called Mrs Hunzberger?" She said in a small quiet voice, I see one thing has not changed about her; she always did like to jump in head first.
"I….Well you see we're not married Ace" I say taking my hand out of hers and putting them into my lap.
"What do you mean we're not married? I remember it like it was just yesterday" She told me as she tried to sit herself up but struggled. I stood up and helped her and then sat back down without saying a word. "Logan, please tell me what you mean?" She says and I can see tears forming in her eyes. I can understand why she may cry now as I have basically just told her that what she remembers is a lie, but why was she crying when I walked into the room?
"Look, I promise I will explain everything but first you need to rest". I get up and walk to the door, but I am stopped by her tiny desperate voice.
"Logan, please I need to know. I mean I wake up and I find out my mum is pregnant and that she is married to Luke and I don't remember any of it". She says as the tears escape her eyes. So I walk back over to her and take her hand and I ask one simple question or a question that I thought would be simple.
"What is the last thing you remember?" I say taking a seat back in the chair again not letting go of her hand.
"Getting married to you right after graduation, well that's what I remember." She says as she pulls her hand out of mine and bring them together in her lap.
"Oh ", I say not meaning to allow the word to escape my lips but it did. Her head snaps up and she looks at me. The look on her face right now screams "What aren't you telling me?". I decide to jump right in and tell her the truth.
"Rory... Ace...It's been a year since we have seen each other. I did ask you to marry me at your graduation party, but you turned me down. You told me that you where not ready for that step in your life, that if you were to marry me, you would be closing doors to your career. You then said that because I was moving to San Francisco that we should do long distance. I told you I didn't want that, that is was all or nothing and well let's just say you chose nothing." I take her hand in hope that she understand but she pulls it away straight away.
"So what your telling me is that, you told me all or nothing because I was not ready to get married and when I said nothing you just walked away?" she said her voice raising every second.
"Yeah that's the basics", I say allowing my eyes to meet hers.
"The basics...Wow. So If that is the case, Logan what are you doing here?" It cut me to hear the malice in her voice. My sweet little Ace was cool and indifferent. Her eyes blazing.
"I came to your office Ace, I came to win you back and to tell you that I still loved you and I always will. You told me that you couldn't be with me and I believed it was because there was someone else until I had a call from Paris, who told me that I shouldn't give up on you. I was at home working on a plan when you came to me to tell me about your tumour when you had a fit, it was Paris in the end that told me and your mum." I was rambling on as if I was a Gilmore Girl.
"Wow...I guess, but I don't know, after what you told me about you walking away when things didn't go your way, I don't know if I can trust you again, I want you to leave Logan. I can't look at you right now." She says and turns her head back so she was looking out the window. I walk towards the door but pause before I exit.
"I love you Ace, I'm not giving up without a fight". I say vehemently as I walk out the door and close it behind me allowing her to be alone. However, if I had turned around in that moment I would had seen the tears streaming down her face and would have heard her say in a voice drowned in confusion and loss:
"I love you too. I just don't trust you".
Again I hope this chapter was ok and that you enjoyed reading it. I am sorry it took me longer to write and publish I just felt the others where a little rushed so it may be awhile between each chapter now.
