Her Savior

Chapter 3

Rory and the boys arrived at Stephanie dorm luckily Logan had called ahead and explained the situation to her so Rory didn't have to go through the trauma again which she was grateful for that. Stephanie opened the door and let them inside.

"Hey guys"

"Hey Steph" the guys said in unison

Rory entered as if still in a dazed she had not said a word since leaving the dorm. Logan was getting more worried about her by the moment all he could think of was that it finally was all sinking in about what the DA said and all and what tomorrow would mean for her. Logan noticed Stephanie worried look when Rory did not even become aware of her. Logan stepped away from her and turned to Colin and Finn.

"Guys stay with her for me"

"Of course mate."

Then Logan turned to Rory.

"Ace I'm going to go over and talk to Steph a minute I'll be right back"

Rory just nodded and again Logan just figured that this was her way of deal with what was going on around her.

"Steph can I talk to you a moment"

"Sure Logan"

They stepped further into the living room and Stephanie spoke first

"What's going on with her first you call me and tell me what Robert did then you get here and she is not talking our saying a word."

"Steph she's had an emotional day and tomorrow going to be worse and this is her way of dealing by shutting down I know it's not good but right now I don't want to push her. I'm afraid if I do I'll make it worse."

"Don't worry I'll take care of her"

"Thanks".

Logan went back over to Rory, took her in his arms, and whispered in her ear.

"Ace I'm going to go so they don't know where you are staying here all day tomorrow ok. Ill be here for anything you need and Steph is too."

Then he kissed her on the forehead and turned to Colin and Finn and monitored to them it was time to leave all three gave one last look at Rory and Stephanie and left. Stephanie went up to Rory and led her over to the sofa.

"I'm so sorry this happened to you Rory never in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen to you or that Robert would commit such a crime."

Again, Rory made no move to respond to Stephanie statement. Stephanie could see why Logan was so worried about her she was too. Therefore, Stephanie just sat on the sofa with her waiting for her to make any movement.

Meanwhile in Rory's head her thoughts were going a million miles a mintues trying to deal with what was going on around her. All Rory kept thinking was how dirty she felt and about how she just wanted this whole nightmare to be over. The one thought that kept repeating in her head was how much she loved and cared about Logan and whether or not he'd ever look at her the same way again. Finally, Rory was able to break out of her trance and began to speak in a low whisper.

"Do you ever think he'll look at me the same way again or do you think I will always be ruined in his mind?"

It took Stephanie a moment to process Rory's question because she did not expect to be asked this question when Rory finally broke away from the trauma induced silence.

"Who Logan?" Stephanie replied slowly

Rory nodded with silent tears running down her face.

Stephanie without thinking gathered her in her arms and rubbed slow calming circles down her back.

"Shhhh Logan does not look at you any differently I promise you if anything he just wants to protect you more"

"I feel so dirty and unlovable how anyone will look at me the same again if I can't even look at myself with out feeling repulsed"

"I promise you it will get better and we are all here for you"

"Thank you really thank you"

Stephanie gave her one tighter squeeze and then suggested they head off to bed because of what tomorrow would hold and Rory agreed.

Stephanie was in the kitchen getting ready for the day when she heard a knock on the door. She swung the door open and was greeted by Logan.

Hey Logan," She said as she stepped aside so that he could walk in.

"Hey Steph is Rory up yet?"

"Actually no I was just going to check on her we kind of had a rough night last night."

"Do you mind if I try, I really worried about her, and with what going to happen today I just need to see her."

"Sure go ahead"

He walked over to where Rory was and stared at her for a moment. Then ever so slightly, he bends down and brushes her check. He thought to himself that she was the most beautiful person that he has ever seen. His hand then went from her check to her shoulder. "Rory, honey" he said as he rubbed his hand up and down her right shoulder.

"You need to get up, we have a long day ahead."

Rory rolled over on her back and mumbled.

"Uh…. Logan

"Yeah beautiful it's me, and you need to wake up"

"But I'm so tried I just want to sleep"

"I know but I'll be with you all day today I promise"

"Okay just give me a moment, and I'll see you in the kitchen"

He smiled at her. He then walked to the kitchen and wait until Rory walked in. He hated being away from her. He never thought that he would be all this crazy about someone in his life.

Rory entered a moment later and walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a proper morning greeting.

"Morning"

"Morning, Ace"

"You know. I never understood why you always call me Ace. I do have a name, you know"

"It's the same reason you call me Master and Commander; I say it because I love you"

"I love you too, Logan so much"

That there made him realize he had something good in his life. For once, he had someone that he could actually love...Not that fake kind of love he thought he gets when he would meet girls. However, real, actually love. He, being caught in the moment lifted himself up from the chair and Kissed Rory lightly, Then they entered the kitchen happily
