Ok, warning, this is a really short chapter. Just be glad I updated at all! I'm staying over at a friends until next monday so I might not update for a while. I'm only updating now because I'm so happy! I got a 97 on my French Oral Proficency Test! I love you guys so much, I'm sharing my happiness, btw, thanks for being so great. (see, i really am in a good mood). If I feel happy enough, I might even update again today!

A/N: I know that nobody likes the new Rory and the new Logan. I don't either! They will change, don't worry. The old versions will return, I have plans!

A/N: I know that most people just skim over long paragraphs because its difficult to read and concentrate (or at least it is for me) but trust me, you really need to read this chapter word for word.

Catch Her Quickly

"You mentioned Rachel?" Stephanie asked quickly

"Yeah" Logan said warily

"Logan, Rachel is dead"

"What?" Logan wasn't sure if he had heard her correctly

"How do you not know?" Stephanie said in disbelief, "Where did you think she was?"

"I guess I just assumed that she was going to another school, Harvard or something" Logan admitted

"and give up on her dream of going to Yale? Why do you think Rory came here? To be closer to her sister"

"What exactly happened?" Logan's face was drawn. He had been close to Rachel as well, though not as close as he was to Rory. He had actually met Rachel before Rory. Though he only told Colin, he had had a slight crush on Rachel when he was six years old.

"Two years ago, technically three now, you had been gone for two years. It was the Gilmore twins first year of college. Happiest years of our Rory's life. She had good grades, a decent boyfriend, a wonderful family, a great life" Stephanie collapsed on the couch, old memories overwhelming her

"What happened?"

"After a party, Rachel went home with this guy, we don't know who, he fled the scene"

"Scene?"

"Car accident. The jerk must have been drunk. Back then Rory and Rachel had never touched a drop of alcohol, so we know it was him. He, I don't know what happened, but the car skidded, flipped right over. The police and ambulances came. They saw that the guy was just a bit shaken, not more than a bruise, so their attention went to Rachel. The bastard just left. It was a big scene, lots of distraction, no one remembers what he looked like" Steph ranted, visible showing her hatred for the mystery man

"What happened?" Logan urged, though he could see it was painful for her to tell, it was painful for him to hear to

"Went into emergency care, coma, other things, she was not looking so good. Died before the night was through, never woke up" Stephanie choked on the tears she was trying to hold back, "I never saw Rory look so utterly devastated. She blamed herself for everything"

"But it wasn't her fault the car skidded" Logan protested, understanding Rory's hardened attitude more now

"She says that if she had driven Rachel home like she was suppose to, it would never have happened. Her boyfriend, this cute, smart-ass bad boy, Jess, and some of her friends, were going out to grab some coffee and to just have their own mini party afterwards. Rachel said she would rather stay and talk to some of her friends. By the first year college, Rachel and Rory had different friends, but were just as close you see. Anyways, Rory told her to grab her own ride home, because the two of them had come together. Rachel wanted Rory to come back for her because she knew most of the guys were too drunk to drive. Rory told her she would be fine and left. A few hours later Rory was called to the hospital. She went into see her sister, one at a time, hospital rule. Rachel died in Rory's arms" Stephanie couldn't contain herself anymore, she started to sob silently

"Oh my god" Logan breathed, staring at the ground, his own eyes involuntarily watering

Stephanie took a deep breath, "After that night, Rory's life fell apart. Her mother and her had a huge break-up. I don't know the details, but Rory dropped out of school and lived at her grandparents for five months, not talking to her mother. It was terrible. Her boyfriend just got up and left, don't know the details there either. Rory finally came back to school, but she wasn't the Rory we grew up with. She started talking to her mother again, but barely, we took it as a good sign. Then she started seeing this guy, Dean, been with him ever since. He hurts her Logan. Her life is broken. She's so broken" Stephanie tried to wipe her tears, but she only cried more

"I...I didn't know" Logan managed to say

"I'm sorry Logan, I have to go, sorry to break down on you like this" Stephanie got up and hurried to the door. Before she left, she turned around to face him, "I didn't know what to do. Finn and Colin were no help of course. Her mother is very distant now, as are her other friends. You were closer to her than any of her other friends, even me. I blame myself for letting her fall this far. Please Logan, catch her before she crashes" Stephanie disappointed out this door with a flurry of blond curls.

Logan quietly let himself in to the dorm. He saw Rory asleep on the couch. Without making a noise, he crept inside. He had called Paris an hour earlier, and she had whole-heartedly agreed to his plan. She was Rory's friend, and no matter how much she didn't act like it, she did care about Rory. Logan saw that Paris had carried out her part of the plan. Two bags were situated by the door, one black garbage bag, and one suite case, both stuffed full. Logan grabbed both bag and went back outside. The garbage bag he quickly deposed of, heaving in into a dumpster a few blocks away. He took the suitcase and threw in into the back of his car. Then he went back to Rory's dorm. Colin and Finn were waiting for him. Without a word, the trio entered the dorm and lifted the still sleeping Rory off the couch.
