IAN: Logan has been dead for 2 years in this story. And there is nothing romantic or sexual going on between Max and Rory… remember he his like twenty years older than her… eww. Although, now you guys have my mind thinking. But I'm not going there this is a Troy but there will be Rogan flashbacks at times not often but there will be some. I have gotten some pm's telling me I should expand some and not be afraid to get into what happened to Logan and little Logan. I have to say although it would make it a rounder story, I wont be going into a lot of detail about her rape. I have some younger readers, I know that most teenagers are exposed to sex that's one thing rape is something else. I also write what I can picture in my mind and I just don't want to picture details of a young girl being raped so please don't keep asking for more details. I will as the story progresses fill in more details but they will be vague and more her feelings and thought than actual events. I'm sorry if this disappoints some people but you would me amazed how many pm's I got about not giving more details.

Orionsbabydoll: thank you for the great reviews as always! I love them sorry there is a creepy factor for you, I actually hadn't thought thru to that it could be creepy I was on the sweet side that he became friends with the girl he wanted as a daughter.

Love23 and Curleyq thank you for being loyal reader and reviewers…

Much love to Prada who is the quick sand I walk on and always there to tell me I just cant picture it and reign me back in.

Chapter 3 Crowe… Yum.

Finn was waiting downstairs when Rory pulled up. He shook his head as he looked from her to Logan, both had circles under their eyes and as Rory walked around the car he noticed she had lost even more wieght. At this rate she was going to waste away. He knew she worked from the time Logan went to bed until she passed out at night but this is ridiculous. Logan would be so upset if he could see the state of his girls right now. He needed to do better, he was supposed to be looking out for them, but right now rory looks as lost as she did two years ago. Logan was so exhausted he was able to carry her upstairs without her ever waking, and by the time he'd come out of the guest bedroom after laying her down. Rory was already sleep on the couch. He had deluded himself into thinking that things have been getting better with them. This simply wouldn't do, he had promised his best friend if anything ever happened to him he would take care of his girls up until this point the had left things up to Rory. Watching her sleep he realized he had miscalculated her ability to live without Logan. Finn will add a lot to think about before the petite brunette woke.

Back in Hartford…

Putting the salad on the table Chrish turned to the cabinet for the plates. "Dad, I still don't get what the big deal is? I was just teasing her. I tease girls all the time I've never been punched before, and I really wasn't trying to grab her. That was just an added bonus, man is she hot." Chrish said with a smirk so like Tristan's he couldn't help but grin at his son.

"That part is beside the point. Mr Medina was very insistent that that was an accident and Mrs. Huntzberger insisted you not be punished for an accident. Your lucky she was a lot more forgiving for you than she was for was for me back in the day. The part I want to discuss with you is your calling Logan, Mary. I get it she looks sweet and innocent . You can't call her Mary it's rude especially when I spent a year and a half of my Chilton career calling her mother Mary. Unless you get kicked out, you have two years of school with Logan. Wouldn't you rather spend those two years as friends and having her hate you? Usually you get along with everyone what happened?"

"I don't know why I teased her? She's in three of my classes before lunch and unless spoken to by a teacher she never said a word. I tried to get her to talk to me but she looked at me like I was a leper. She has that look you know, like mom. I thought maybe she was scared, or didn't trust guys. Then at lunch some upperclassmen came in and she was all over him. Talking a mile a minute with him and her friend with the blond hair. So I thought no it's me and she's just being a bitch. So I started teasing her."

Tristan shook his head with a chuckle. "Playground tactics"

"What?" his son asked confused.

"Playground tactics. That's what Rory well Mrs. Huntzberger used to call it when we were in school. Where instead of asking a girl you like out you pull her hair. Or tease her to get her attention. I used to do it to her all the time. I made her life miserable. We had just gotten over my stupidity when I was shipped off to military school. We missed out on so much time we could have been friends all because I pursued her even though she made it very clear she wasn't interested. I made her very uncomfortable. Don't make the same mistake I did. If that girl is anything like her mother, you will find a very good friend in her if you don't screw it up." Tristan said turning off the burner and pouring the sause over the noodles before putting the bowl on the table. "Why don't you call Chloe down?" Tristan said grabbing some soda's from the fridge.

"Dad, I think Logan was hurt. Like mom was. You should have seen her when I fell into her dad she totally flipped she was really scared. I keep thinking about that look. It wasn't funny anymore I really scared her. Then once she got over being scared she was pissed! You should have seen her when she thru that punch she had no clue how to do it but she put it all into it. Chloe doesn't even hit that hard!" Chrish laughed rubbing his nose.

"If your right about what she's been thru then you need to be careful with her, not be an ass. Now I don't want to discuss this anymore tonight. Call your sister."

It was unusual in Hartrford Society but Christina wasn't society, that was one of the things he had loved about her. Her home growing up had been so different than the one he lived in. They both had wanted to make a home like that for their kids. They had dinner as a family almost every night. He went to their soccer games, and dance recitals. It was hard now with Chrisy gone but he still wanted that life for his kids. His father didn't understand how they were raising them but he had no complaints about the results. Chrisy had always been a big practical joker and it had rubbed of on Chrish, he actually thought when the call came in from the school that he had done something to one of the teachers. Although, he usually never got caught, Tristan was always amused at the things that kid could come up with. All in all he had great kids, the last few years hadn't been easy but they had given the kids a strong foundation and they were doing doing very well.

Hopefully, they would adjust as well to Hartford and Chilton.
