Rory woke up the next morning and it took her a minute to realize where she was and why she was there. Once she did she realized that she had to leave town immediately. She couldn't explain anything. She wouldn't even see her mom. She wanted to just go to the apartment, get her things, and leave. They had told her to come as soon as possible. A few days was soon enough, right? She would call her mom from the road.
She called a moving company right away and told them to meet her at hers and Logan's apartment in half an hour.
She left the hotel right after she made the phone call and then she called her apartment to make sure that Logan wasn't there. That would make it so much harder. There was no answer to the phone so that meant that he probably wasn't home.
As soon as she arrived at her apartment she started removing all traces of herself from the apartment. With in two hours, everything she owned was packed up and headed to a storage unit. Everything except for some of her favorite books and the clothes she decided to take with her. She had also taken one of Logan's favorite sweatshirts that still smelled like him so that she could have him with her even when he wasn't there and probably hated her.
As Rory was walking out of the apartment, she literally walked into a small problem. Or a rather large one if you considered his size. She had walked into Finn and he didn't look happy. She tried to get around him but he pushed her back into the apartment.
"Oh, no you don't. We need to talk. What's going on Rory? Why did you say no? You know how much Logan loves you."
"I- I …." Rory tried to say.
"What, do you have no excuse?"
His attitude gave her the strength that she needed. "Finn, why I did what I did is none of your business. You need to leave me alone." And with that she pushed past him.
Finn looked shock. She had said that with such disdain in her voice. He almost believed that that was what she wanted. He stood there for a minute thinking that she would need to hail a cab when she got down stairs so that he would have plenty of time to catch her.
Finn realized about a minute later that Rory was a planner and wouldn't just walk out with no way to get where she needed to go. He took off after her then, racing down the stair because the elevator would take too long.
He made it outside just in time to see Rory get into a cab. He somehow managed to get the cab number and company off of the side of the cab so he called the company and asked where the cab was headed.
The answer horrified him.
She wasn't just leaving Logan, she was leaving everyone.
She was on her way to the airport.
Rory cried the whole way to the airport. She couldn't believe that Finn had been like that. But then again what did she expect? He was Logan's best friend after all.
Rory knew she should tell someone. She couldn't bring herself to though. They would all look at her and pity her. She never wanted that. She couldn't handle that.
When Rory got to the airport she boarded a plane to Nebraska. Yes there was a more direct flight but she had decided to just disappear. She didn't wasn't anyone to be able to find her. Especially that easily.
She left her attorney with instructions to send them all invites to go to a video that she had made. She sent one to her mom, her grandparents, Colin and Finn, she sent one to Logan as well.
They were some of the most important people in her life. She couldn't let them think that this had anything to do with them.
She slept the whole way. Once she arrived, shed grabbed her luggage, called a cab, and went to the first bank she could find. She all the money out of her account. She would need the cash.
She stopped at the first bus station she found and bought a ticket to Kansas City, Kansas.
The next day, Logan was still at Colin and Finn's apartment, it was around noon and the guys had come back for lunch. Logan knew that Finn was going to the apartment that morning so he asked if Rory had been there.
"Listen mate, I have some news that you're probably not going to want to hear." Fin decided to start slowly.
Of course Logan being Logan, decided to interrupt with the first conclusion his mind jumped to, "she was there wasn't she. She was there with another guy."
They weren't questions. He honestly thought that. He looked as if he were going to storm over to the apartment right that minute.
Finn told him to calm down and sit down. "No, you idiot, there was no guy. She had all of her things packed and moved out. She was carrying a single suitcase. We got into it and she took off. When I made it downstairs I saw her get into a cab and then I-"
A knock at the door interrupted what he was saying. Colin went to answer it. When he pulled it open, he saw a messenger at the door. Colin signed for the envelope and took it into the living room.
"The messenger said it was from Rory. It's addressed to all of us."
The boys looked up in surprise. Logan jumped off of the couch and was standing next to Colin in an instant. He ripped the letter out of his friends hands and read what it said.
"I would like to meet with you tonight at 7 o'clock at the Drangonfly. Please meet me there exactly at 7. I have already cleared this with my Mom. If you need to you can spend the night at the end when we are done.
Thank you,
Rory"
"That's it? It's not even specifically addressed." Logan said
Finn decided to wait to tell Logan that Rory had been going to the airport. Maybe she didn't go.
Meanwhile everyone else was receiving their letters. Loralei had been shocked when Rory called that morning and asked for the dining room for that night but she had readily agreed. Then she got her envelope as well.
At that same time, envelopes were being delivered to those that Rory Gilmore loved the most.
