Chapter Thirty One

Finn stumbled into the dorm around two and smiled slightly at what he saw. Rory and Logan were curled up into each other on the couch while the TV played softly in the background. He stumbled towards the couch and covered them up with the throw blanket that was draped over the back of the couch. He walked past Colin's door and heard the TV playing in there. He knocked on it and waited for Colin to open it.

"What do you want Finn?" Colin asked when he opened the door and saw Finn standing there

"We need to talk." Finn said with a slight slur

"You're drunk. How are we going to talk when you're drunk?" Colin asked agitated

"I've had some of my most serious and important conversation while intoxicated. So again I repeat we need to talk."

Logan awoke to voices. He shifted out of Rory's arms and stood up. He smiled at her sleeping form and lifted her up into his arms. He carried her to his bed and laid her down then covered her up. He was about to join her in the bed when he realized that the voices were arguing. He kissed her forehead and slipped out of the room silently. He walked over to Colin's door and listened to Finn and Colin fight.

"You can't honestly expect me to just turn my back on him can you!" Colin yelled

"No, I don't expect you to just turn your back on him, I expect you to remember who was there before!" Finn yelled back

"Before what!"

"Before Robert! There was you, there was me and there was Logan! Logan has been there for you his entire life!"

"I know that! But as much as I like Rory, and you know I absolutely adore the woman, and as much as I think that Rory has been the best thing that's ever happened to Logan, I refuse to turn to my back on Robert!" Colin yelled

The confusion that had once been on Logan's face, while wondering what his two best friends in the world were fighting about, quickly changed to anger. He turned the door knob, not actually expecting it to open, and when it did both Colin and Finn turned towards the door. Colin's face changed from the angry look it was wearing while fighting with Finn to a guilty apologetic face that stared straight into Logan's eyes. "Logan…"

"Save it Colin, I heard enough. I never asked you to turn your back on Robert, and since I'm far to happy about what happened earlier in the evening, I'm going to let the conversation we are going to have to have wait until morning." Logan said in a harsh tone

"Thank you." Colin said

"No problem." He said he then smiled at Finn. "If you two are going to keep fighting do you think you could tone it down a notch, Rory's sleeping."

Finn smiled. "I saw. Are you two together now?"

"We were together before." Logan said simply

"I mean exclusively. Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Of course." Logan said turning to walk out the door. "Thank Robert for me." He called over his shoulder as the door shut behind him.

Robert wiped his hands across his eyes groggily as the loud banging on his door got louder and louder. "I'm coming! Stop banging on the damn door!" he yelled out to whomever was on the other side. He opened the door and saw a nervous Colin standing there shifting uncomfortably. "What in the hell Colin it's the middle of the night!"

Colin stormed into the dorm and shut the door behind him. He stalked towards the common room and began to pace back and forth. After a few long minutes he stopped suddenly and looked straight into Robert's eyes. "What in the hell were you thinking!"

"Look Colin you need to be a little more specific. I've done a lot of things."

Colin rolled his eyes. "You know exactly what I'm talking about you pompous ass!" He yelled pointing his finger in Robert's face. "You are more trouble than you are worth!"

"What in the hell is going on Colin?"

"You took her off into the middle of New York City and left her there alone! She didn't know where she was and she didn't know who to call, even though when she finally figures out that she could call Finn she still had no clue what to tell him!" Colin yelled

"So… this is about Rory." Robert said softly

"Of course it's about Rory." Colin said, "It's always about Rory. That's all anybody ever talks about anymore. Logan and Rory, Rory and Logan. It's nauseating." Colin said bitterly

"I don't think I understand. You like Rory. I know you do, so what's with the bitterness?"

"The bitterness has nothing to do with Rory! It's all about you!"

"How is this about me?"

"You did this!" Colin yelled throwing his hand up in the air

"I did what?"

"You terrified her."

"Rory?"

"Yes Rory."

"I'm sure she wasn't terrified. She was probably just a little shook up." Robert said shaking his head

"She was shaking when Finn found her. Shaking Robert, shaking. And now everyone's choosing sides." Colin said as he began pacing again, his hands resuming their wild gesturing

"What do you mean choosing sides?" Robert asked confused

"Come on Robert, don't be so naïve. I'm the only friend you have left." Colin said with an edge to his voice

"I have other friends that don't include you, Finn and Logan." Robert said defensively

Colin shook his head. "Do you honestly think anyone in the LDB is going to cross Logan?"

"We're an anarchy. It's not like he's the head of the LDB."

"No, you're right he's not the leader of the LDB, but he's the most respected member. There isn't a single person there that has as much power as Logan. And you know that Robert. I'm all you have and you have no idea how much trouble you are causing me."

"What are you talking about Colin?"

"They'll all turn against me."

"Finn and Logan?"

"Yes! Finn, Logan, everyone and that includes Rory."

"Look I don't know what to tell you Colin. What is it that you want from me?"

"I want you to tell me why it is I should give up everyone I love for you."

"Colin…"

"NO! I don't want to hear it Robert. What you did to her was beyond wrong! She may have led you on but no one and I mean no one, ESPECIALLY NOT HER, deserves that!"

Robert ran his hands through his hair with frustration. "You know I am so fed up with everyone acting like that girl is the world. She led me on and she used me for her own personal gain and everyone protects her! I don't understand. I've known you people since we were in diapers, we were all best friends! You haven't even known her for a year and yet everyone, including YOU run to her rescue!"

"You left her in the middle of nowhere at night Robert. You're lucky Finn talked Rory's mom's boyfriend out of driving up here and killing you!"

Robert covered his mouth for a moment and paused but then looked over at Colin. "Look, just say what you came to say and get it over with."

"I'm not turning my back on you…"

"Well that's good to know." Robert interrupted

"BUT… I refuse to let you come between me and Logan, or me and Finn…"

"Spit it out Colin." Robert said harshly

"Find a way to fix what you did, or else..." Colin said and then he turned around and opened the door

"Or else what?" Robert asked bitterly

"Or else we're done." Colin said slamming the door behind him

AN: I'm sorry its so short.. I'm having a bit of a writer's block here with this story… it's obvious to me that it's almost finished and that I just need to tie up some loose ends but I'm not sure how I want to go about that just yet. So if it's a little while before an update I'm sorry… read and review… and if anyone has any suggestions on how to end this story let me know…
