Logan Huntzberger was a lot of things, cocky, arrogant, a ladies man, slacker, a disappointment to his father, the Huntzberger heir, a Richie rich, all those things were the names that people had gave him as the years went on but one name that they never called him was a singer. He never sang in front of others he was always self-conscious and didn't want people to know about it was something he could keep to himself something that a girl wouldn't try to fake that she knew just to get into his pants and have a one fruitless, unfulfilling night with THE Logan Huntzberger. But that all changed that one night that Finn had made him and Rory dare them to audition for the school play, he wasn't happy he had to do it because that meant he would have to let out his long kept secret he knew he would have to let it out sometime but he wished he had actual control over it and he chose the day but he also knew that he had to keep a calm leveled head for Rory's sake he knew of her singing abilities he loved that she could sing it only made his feelings for her deeper and more risky.

"For Rory." Logan whispered to himself. He'd been doing that since Friday night, for Rory turned into his mantra, he said it every moment he felt that he would just bail, but when Rory was involved he knew he couldn't he knew that he couldn't leave her alone on that stage in front of everyone and have her sing in front of the entire school. As they walked on the stage after Mrs. Birtwell called their names he made sure to squeeze her hand reassuring her that everything was going to be alright and that he would be right there with her, When he heard the music start is heart beat only stared faster, looking over at Rory and looking into her big blue orbs, his heart calmed and started to hum as he relaxed and waited for the time when he would start the song with the first lyrics.

I got a lot of things
I have to do...
All these distractions
Our futures coming soon
We're Being pulled a hundred different directions
But whatever happens I know I've got you

Logan's mind went into overdrive as he thought about how true those words were for him and Rory, when he was out on a date and Rory needed him he dropped that girl like she was last month clothes and went to Rory's rescue. Their futures were coming they were in their junior year of high school and she was already getting early acceptance letters he was Yale bound there wasn't any other college he could go to he was automatically accepted because of who his father was. But his friends were going to as their families' instance he didn't like the small chance that Rory wouldn't be with them in their college years it was the time for new experiences and ton and tons of partying he couldn't stand to get through it without Rory by his side along with his friends. They had never been separated very long unless Mitchum forced him somewhere but even then him and Rory were always in contact he had a close relationship with Rory, he thought he would die if he didn't have Rory around. He was broken through his thoughts when Rory responded in her beautiful angel voice, he hadn't heard her sing in a while and he missed it, once when Logan was sick she sang him to sleep he had a peaceful sleep and dreamed for hours, he felt much better the next morning. He answered her with the next lyrics: We're Being pulled a hundred different directions
But whatever happens I know I've got you
throughout the rest of the song Logan analyzed every word, he picked this song because he knew Rory loved HSM and knew that singing the lyrics would help the process so he picked it but he didn't think that all the lyrics woud connect with his feeling that he kept hidden inside his mind and heart. The more he sang the more he felt and the more he realized things that made his heart swell with so much emotion he thought it might explode.

Your on my mind your in my heart
It doesn't matter where we are
It'll be alright
Even if we're miles apart

All I wanna do, Is be with you be with you
There's nothing we can do Just wanna be with you
Only you
No matter where life takes us nothing can break us apart..
You know its true
I just wanna be with you

(Be with you)

You know how life can be
It changes over night
Its sunny but raining, but its alright
A friend like you..
Always makes it easy
I know that your kidding me every time.

Through every up through every down
You know I'll always be around
Through everything you can count on me.

Logan knew he could count on Rory she was the main person he confided in. She was always around when he needed her. Could it be that he had more than platonic feelings for Rory? Logan thought as he poured his heart into the song without realizing it…

All I wanna do, Is be with you be with you
There's nothing we can do Just wanna be with you
Only you
No matter where life takes us nothing can break us apart..

Logan couldn't control himself he ended up giving Rory the signal to come to him as she did so he caught her in his as and swung her around like Troy did to Gabriella as they sang the song in HSM3 he didn't want to let go. He wanted to hold her in his arms forever. The ending words of the song came and that was then that Logan realized he did have more than platonic feelings for Ace, Rory. She was the one he wanted to be with. With these newfound feelings Logan couldn't pull away from Rory only to stare into her deep blue ocean eyes and noticed something, it seemed to be lust, love? He shook it off and then realized that Rory couldn't have the same feelings for Logan as he did for her. He knew it was impossible, he knew that she wouldn't think the same as him he was stuck in like with his best friend SHIT!... Life just became more complicated… Logan thought as Rory said the last words of the song.
I just wanna be with you

I just wanna be with

As Logan couldn't tear himself away from her blue eyes he didn't realize that a loud applaud was happening from the audience that was watching them. As it got louder he finally tore his gaze from Rory. And looked out into the crowded to find them all fairly surprised- as he knew they would be about his singing skills. He then also noticed that they all seemed to be smirking. He was confused and wanted to know why they were all smirking, that was his thing, it annoyed him that they just kept staring at him well besides Steph who was laughing, god knows why Steph is laughing she's crazy anyway ,I mean we did catch her talking to someone in the corner when she was 12,

Logan and Rory finally got off the stage and gathered with the other people that auditioned for the lead role, Mrs. Birtwell was wearing her usual crazy bright clothing and the bright lip stick that made her look creepy with her new dark gray hair, it wasn't the kind that was old people getting, well old it was a darker shade and it only made her more scary,

"OK, everyone quiet down we have our new lead roles" Mrs. Birtwell said

Everyone quieted down waiting to hear if they would make it. "Logan Huntzberger and Rory Gilmore will be our new lead roles!"

"WHAT!" Logan exclaimed at the same time Rory did

"You two are the leading roles" She repeated again sounding a bit annoyed

"But it was just a dare! It wasn't supposed to be a legit thing!" Rory yelled clearly in shock

"Well miss Gilmore you auditioned and you got the role deal with it. You can't get out of this"

"You suck!" Rory yelled still pissed and shocked that she didn't mean for the words to escape out of her mouth, the auditorium got quiet as the silent death wish whispered through the room as glared at her. Rory was waiting for her detention when Logan stepped in

"What she means is you suck greatly. You know us kids and our slang words the grownups never understand" Logan said in his charmer voice, he was hoping to get through to Mrs. Birtwell she wasn't the most forgiving teacher, When some students stole her rocks she was found in her closet crying.

"Whatever, Check with Kelsey for your sheet music through the play."

"Kay'" Rory said weakly as she crushed her body into Logan's side as he pulled her into him. She didn't like this, and Logan knew it, he knew she was probably thinking about the massive amount of backed up homework she would have and her falling behind and not making it to College to become a journalist.

"Ace, stop worrying she'll get over your little outburst, and you won't fall behind the hours are fine besides you can study during practice. I won't let you fall behind" Logan said giving her the legendary smirk.

"If you say so, Will you bring me coffee?" Rory asked giving him her Bambi eyes, she knew he couldn't say no to, not with those eyes.

"Do I look crazy, I know better than to not provide a Gilmore Girl with coffee unless I value my life"

"Good" Rory said with a smile as she pecked Logan on the check.

After the small peck Logan was hooked, as she leaned forward and kissed his check he took a deep breath and smelled the scent of her, skin got loser it was a quick motion but it was all it took for him to lose control, the smell of her shampoo was too much, how she smelled like honey, and the way it mixed with strawberry, her perfume was a scent he came to know as Japanese cherry blossom as he heard Steph and Rory talking about it, it really did smell the way it was named, He wanted to kiss her right there but knew that the movement would cause her to get scared. And she'd run, same old Rory whenever she couldn't handle something she would run, for Rory being a Gilmore she wouldn't run it was break the number one Gilmore girl rule along with the unlimited amount of coffee it just didn't seem like Rory to run. Rory had told him the story of how her first boyfriend kissed her in the middle of the grocery store she yelled at me and herself as she told me how she shoplifted and how shocked she was when he kissed her. Dean ended up being a jackass and breaking her heart. They had been an on again off again couple he broke up with her the first time because she didn't say she loved him back when he told her first. They didn't fit each other and Logan saw it. He watched as she was crying over him asking him why he didn't want her. When the final break up happened in front of a group of friends leaving her crying in her grandparents drive way.

It was time for them to watch their friends sing. As they took their seats Logan mentally prepared himself for the horror of his friend's voices. As they took their places on the stage Logan thought how embarrassing this would be. When the music for were all in this together came on he again prepared himself and sat back to get his material to tease them endlessly for the rest of their lives. Logan was shocked when he heard their voices blended in they sounded like they were the second best decisions for the high school musical cast. He was shocked and kind of pissed that they didn't tell him. As Logan thought he shouldn't really be mad he hadn't told them that he could sing but he did that for his own reputation. He thought they would have atleast told him. Logan looked over at Rory and saw a confused look on her face.

"Did you know about this?" Logan asked hoping that she too wouldn't be holding something back from him either.

"No, nothing at all" Rory's voice sounded shocked

"Why didn't they tell us?" Logan asked still torn up that they weren't told about the singing abilities. It seemed petty and stupid but he couldn't help it he told his friends everything and they did the same. It hurt a bit.

"I don't know maybe they thought we were going to tease them or something, especially you, you love to tease"

"Yeah but something like this doesn't seem like them to be the ones to hide this"

"Yeah, I know, we can talk about it later, their almost done"

"They sound great don't they" Logan asked as he agreed with Rory. They would have to talk about it with their friends clear the air, Logan never liked being out of the loop. He felt left out. And he didn't' like that feeling.

As the song ended their were sounds of applause and everyone seemed to swarm around his friends in a frenzy of congratulations and appreciation of their singing. When Mrs. Birtwell came into view he knew that she would love them, most likely they would end up getting the second best lead roles in the play.

"Wonderful! That was beautiful it almost brought me to tears!" she cried

Everyone just smiled or had smirks as they watched Mrs. Birtwell tear up.

"You guys have the roles I'm not auditioning anyone else you guys are perfect!" said as a tear slipped down her cheek she always was a weeper when she was in front of her students.

Logan's friends face were priceless they were shocked but the only happy face was Finn's he looked excited and like he was about to bounce off the walls. Steph seemed shocked and a tiny bit mad. Rose was happy; Collin looked scared, green almost like he was going to puke.

Logan couldn't help but chuckle. As he looked over at Rory he couldn't help but think how nice his life was he had great friends the only thing missing was the perfect girl by his side, Logan had a flashback do into his head a brunette girl with pigtails and a book attached in her hands and her oversized AC/DC shirt that she wore with leggings and her favorite pair of black converse with blue laces. He remembered how cute she was and how she would pick a spot under the same tree and read. Logan remembered the day he first talked to her, They got into a debate about how she would always wear the same shirt.

*Flashback*

"you must really like that shirt if you wear it all the time"

"Huh?" Rory asked her face was contorted into a confused face, her eyebrows raised and her eyes squinted almost to the point where they were closed, he thought the way she looked so confused made her look more cute than she didn in her oversized shirt that she wore all the time.

"You must really like AC/DC if you wear that shirt everyday"

" I do not, and yes a mater of fact I do like AC/DC. Is that so wrong"

"No, I just discovered that you wear the shirt all the time, I asked why?"

"Well my dad gave it to me. It the only thing I have from him since he left.." She trailed off, as Logan looked at her face it was sad and he quickly noticed a tear streak down her face,

"Hey I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you, it was just a question,"

"It's ok, it's just he just left and it's bad memories, I didn't want him to leave, I begged him but he left me there crying on the porch.

"Rory I'm sorry" Logan said bending down to hug her

"It's ok you didn't know… didn't mean too" she said crying harder

"Shhh it's going to be ok…" Logan said. He didn't know if it would but he couldn't leave her there to cry by herself.

The rest of the time Logan and Rory sat under the tree while he held her close to him letting her cry in his arms. Once she calmed down they gradually ended up talking, not about her father they saved that for a less sensitive time but the more they talked the more comfortable they became, they became friends and she met his, that day was the day he would remember for the rest of his life, it was the day he unintentionally fell for Rory Gilmore.

*Flashback ends*

Somehow deep inside he knew that he always loved her, he loved her in her oversized AC/DC shirt, her pigtails and the attached book in her arms. The minute he comforted her in his arms was the minute he knew he could never be without her in his life. Logan had to figure out a way… he didn't know if he wanted her as a Girlfriend or his best friend either way he needed Rory Gilmore in his life… he would die without her.
