Reviewers: Thank you so much for reviewing! It means so much to me

Authors Note: Hey all! Wow my chapters seem to be starting to come out faster. Hopefully this will keep up. I doubt it until at least summer though. I can't wait for summer it seems so far away right now but I know its not, the end of June isn't that far away! Hmm for all of my American readers you guys get out sooner than Canadians do, but go back before us so all my still in schooler's you'll get lots of chapters when you go back to school... Okay never mind that sounded really weird lol makes sense to me though. It probably seems like its taking a long time to you guys, anyways that's about it for now...

Oh my god!That episode was well kind of sucky. I thought it was going to be way better. Is it just me or has this season generally revolved around Luke and Lorelai.It really has and I found this episode kind of miss leading. Like they made it seem like it was mostly about Rory and Logan this episode and they were on for like 10 minutes total. Which sucks, but on a positive note the makeup job they did on Logan was amazing! It looked real his face even looked swollen to me... well thats about it lol

Dedicated: This chapter is dedicated to Dustin get better soon.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls. And am not making money off of this.

Recap:

"Didn't anyone tell you why I left? Didn't anyone tell you what happened?" She asked skeptically. "I'm sure it was the talk of the campus!" she scoffed, still not sure if she believed him.

Tristan looked away and shook his head as a blush crept up his cheeks. "No" he said, his voice still soft. "No one said a thing. They didn't because I wouldn't let them. I didn't want anyone to disgrace your name. I didn't want you to become the other infamous Lorelai…" This last part was said with slight bitterness. "…so I…" He paused, and if possible, his voice got softer, still unable to look at her, "…I didn't let them talk about you." She noticed that his face took on a pained expression. "It hurt too much to hear your name, knowing that I may never see you again. So no one was allowed to say your name around me." He took a sideways glance at her, his lips were twitching up into a slight smirk. "A couple guys found that out the hard way."

"Oh." she said slowly, slightly taken aback by his revelation. "Okay." They just sat there, taking it all in, hands still clasped together to offer comfort, and strength.

Tristan looked her in the eye again, as he took another deep breath, "Mary, as much as I don't want to, I have to ask." He waited for her to acknowledge that it was ok to continue. When she gave a slight nod of her head he asked, "Was this the first time you've gotten a package like this?"

Before Rory could answer they heard a knock at the door. "One second." She said, before sliding off the bed to open the door. On the other side were Logan and Christopher.

Before Rory had pulled the door completely open, Christopher pushed his way in, past Rory. "Is it true?" he asked frantically, before turning around to grab Rory by the shoulders. "Is he after you now?"

Chapter 9:

Rory looked at her father in shock. "How'd you know about that?" she asked glaring at Logan accusingly. He stood behind her father raising his hands up innocently in surrender.

"Answer the question Rory!" Christopher said, sternly. "Yell at Logan later. Just answer the damn question!" He finished, his patience waning.

"It's the first letter I've gotten." Rory replied, dejectedly, giving in.

"Thank god!" Christopher said softly, pulling Rory to him. "We can handle this. Everything will be okay once we go to the police." He said soothingly.

"We can't go to the police!" Rory yelled quickly jumping away from Christopher as if he was on fire. "They'll kill mom if we do!"

"Rory." Tristan said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Your father's right. We have to go to the police." He said, trying to convince her.

"No!" Rory shouted backing away from Tristan "They'll kill my mother if we do! We are not going to the police!"

"Please Ror!" Christopher said "If we don't then they could kill you, or take you away from me. We have to go to the police!" He plead, trying to make her see reason.

"No we don't!" Rory said calmly "They're not going to kidnap me! I won't let them." The last part she said through gritted teeth.

" Ace," Logan protested "You won't be able to stop them if they try to kidnap you. It's not like you'll know when they do it, and they could easily over power you! They could do anything!"

"So now you're on their side?" Rory asked Logan angrily "I thought that out of everyone you would be on my side!"

"I am on your side Ace!" Logan said softly "I just don't want you to get hurt. But I'll support whatever decision you make."

Rory slipped into Logan's waiting arms, wrapping her arms around his waist, as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and just held her.

"Oh that's nice!" Tristan sneered "You're going to let Rory get herself killed because you don't want to seem like the bad guy. I for one can't stand the thought of her getting hurt!"

"Neither can I!" Logan sneered back. "But I can't stand the thought of losing her either!"

"Boys!" Christopher cut in "Break it up!" He commanded, looking between the two boys.

"Sorry Mr. Hayden." they mumbled in unison.

"This doesn't really concern you anyway." Christopher said "So why don't you two go to class, where you should be. This is between Rory and me." He said, finality clear in his voice.

"Mr. Hayden," Logan said pulling away from Rory "with all do respect this does concern me. When Rory first came here who was the only person she'd talk to? If you don't remember it was me and only me. Who's there for her when she cries herself to sleep at night? Me again! I'd say I'm just as involved as you are!" He said stubbornly.

"I'm not even going to ask what you're doing in my daughter's room at night!" Christopher said, shuddering at the thought but knowing what Logan said was completely true. Logan was involved whether he liked it or not. He turned to look at Tristan. "No use getting any more people involved then necessary. So, Mr.DuGrey, please go to class!"

"But sir…" Tristan protested but was off by Rory.

"Tristan just go!" Rory said cutting him off.

"Fine!" Tristan hissed looking directly at Rory "You don't seem to get that I'm trying to help you! And you just keep pushing me away!" He didn't' even bother hiding the hurt in his voice or his eyes, as he rushed out the door slamming it behind him.

"Well that was mature!" Logan said watching Tristan leave. "Now, let's get down to business." He said turning back to Rory and her father.

"Yes, let's." Christopher said sitting on Rory's bed "Now Rory, where's this note you got?"

Logan handed over the picture and the note. Christopher quickly skimmed over both items. "Well" Christopher sighed. "Rory, we have to go to the police!"

"No!" Rory yelled "You read it! They'll kill her if you do!" She finished practically in tears again.

"If we don't, they'll kidnap you!" Christopher said calmly, standing up and walking towards Rory "and I can't let that happen." He finished in a soft voice.

"Well we're not going to the police!" Rory replied angrily, stepping away from her father. "My mother's life is in jeopardy and I'm not going to risk it!" She said defiantly.

"How do you know if she's even still alive?" Christopher yelled, as Rory looked at him, wide-eyed, as if she'd been slapped. "That's right you don't!"

"How can you say that?" Rory yelled back backing away from him and banging into Logan who was silently watching. "She is alive. I know she is."

"She's not Rory!" Christopher screamed.

"She is too!" She screamed back.

"You just need to get over this!" Christopher shouted.

"How can you tell me to get over one person in the world that was always there for me?" Rory retorted "and we are not going to the police."

"Yes we are." Christopher replied, his anger clearly boiling to the surface.

"No we're not!" She said, getting loud again.

Finally having had enough, Christopher grabbed Rory by the shoulders roughly and shook her.

"Let her go!" Logan yelled pulling Rory away, and hugging her tightly "Don't touch her ever again, don't you see she's upset?" Clearly shocked at what he had just witnessed.

"I don't care if she's upset" Christopher said, looking coldly at Logan. "I'm her father and she'll do as I say!"

Rory pulled out of Logan's embrace "You're not my father!" Rory whispered coolly. "A father cares and you certainly don't!" and with that she ran out of the room.

Logan glared at him, then turned and ran out after Rory.

Well, that was a crappy chapter! So sorry guys I know it was bad but I couldn't think of anything else. I tried to rewrite it but it turned out worse than it was. I know Chris was out of character but really who knows how he would act in that situation. I personally think Rory would freak if they wanted to bring the police in and they said not to. Anyways Tristan was a bit immature but I needed to get him away for a reason. Anyways that's about it...

Warnings For Next Chapter: Logan calms Rory down and arrangements are made

Just a question is anyone else not getting updates? Most of the fics I read I have on Story Alert and none of the updates are showing up in my email. I checked everything and its working apparently but I haven't gotten an update in 2 days I have to look on the website and to see updates.
