Logan woke up first and the previous days activities flooded back to him, Sitting up in bed he looked at the sleeping form next to him, he shook his head and pulled himself towards the bathroom, his feelings rushed into his head as he showered, wondering how he could do this to himself and her, he dried himself quickly and got dressed, exiting the room he began to pace.

Rory sat up abruptly as she heard the bedroom door closed, she had been feigning sleep for sometime and silently freaking out, she went to the bathroom and cleaned herself up, pulling her hair into a bun she showered then went looking for her discarded clothes, finding everything, she quickly got dressed, entering the living room she saw Logan pacing,

"I need space" he quickly told her, then watched as she exited his hotel room, without allowing him to finish his sentence, sighing slightly he wondered if it would be easier this way, she had walked out of his life again and this time it might be easier to move on, it might be better that she had walked out without saying a word, without throwing a tantrum, without even looking at him properly. Now he felt like crap.

Rory walked through the hotel in a daze, stepping up to the curb, hailing a cab as the fresh air hit her full in the face. It didn't take the cab long to take her back to her assigned room in the hotel, she would be flown home tomorrow with the rest of the reporters and photographers on the campaign, but looking around her at the dimly lit, shabby room, she couldn't wait, she needed girl time, she needed her mom. It didn't take long for Rory to get her flight back to Connecticut. flipping the cellphone open whilst she waited in line, she called the number she had tried so hard to forget, leaving a short message, she turned her phone off. Only when seated did Rory let herself cry and be angry at the many stupid decisions she had made in life.

In the hotel

Logan swirled the mixture around the glass, the ice having melted long ago, he stared at his cellphone, silently willing it to ring, almost jumping out of his skin when it did ring, seeing the caller ID, he recognized his old number,

"Hello?"

"Hey Mate, I have just received a very interesting voice mail"

"Oh" Logan knew what had happened and began shaking his head, "no no no no no"

"Oh yes, yes yes" Finn said in a voice full of glee, "Reporter Girl said she had a wonderful time with me last night and that she would give me the space i needed, hoping the length of the country was big enough as she was going back to Connecticut"

"No no no, Finn i told you to get rid of that phone"

"Yeah but i thought i would keep it just in case, so last night huh?"

"Yeah last night, now what did she say?, she was going back to Connecticut?" Logan asked

"Yeah, she said she was about to board her plane, now tell Uncle Finny all about last night"

"I saw her at a coffee shop and things escalated, i don't know what im going to do, i gotta go"

"Wait Lo..." Finn didn't have chance to finish his sentence as Logan cut him off, downing the drink in his hands, he poured himself another and another, as the volume of alcohol in his blood increased after every drink, Logan couldn't help but think about that night, her soft pale pink skin coming into contact with his lips, the feel of her as he plunged inside her and the smell of her hair as he cuddled her afterwards, Logan didn't know how long he had been sat there, but he awoke from his stupor when there was banging on his door, quickly getting up to answer the door, all his hope of it being Rory were dashed as Finn, Colin and Steph came marching past him.

"Tutt tutt tutt, you naughty boy" Finn waggled his finger at him,

"What happened?, where's Rory? Is she OK?" Steph asked in quick succession,

"leave him alone both of you, he needs to process" Colin spoke, his voice sounding distant, Colin came into the living room and placed glasses in their hands. They all looked at Logan awaiting an explanation, he nodded and they all sat facing him, he told them what had happened, leaving out intimate points and waited for their reaction.

"Just like that?" Steph asked shocked,

"Er yeah"

"No Date, No Romance, Just..." Finn trailed off

"Yeah" Logan nodded

"And this morning?" Colin asked, knowing that's what they all wanted to know next,

"I told her i needed space" Logan winced as he heard the reactions from his friends, berating him for his behavior, telling him what a callous asshole he was and how could he treat her like that, she loved him, he still loved her, listening to them talk Logan had had enough, standing up he yelled, "SHE TURNED ME DOWN REMEMBER, 8 MONTHS AGO, I LOVE RORY GILMORE, SHE IS THE ONLY WOMAN I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LOVE AND THE ONLY WOMAN I THINK I WILL EVER TRULY LOVE AND SHE BROKE MY HEART, SHE SAID NO, I MADE A FOOL OF MYSELF IN FRONT OF HER ENTIRE FAMILY AND SHE SAID NO... NOW I'M SORRY IF I NEEDED TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED IT WAS GREAT AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT HAD HAPPENED MYSELF UNTIL SHE WALKED OUT OF THAT DOOR" he pointed behind him "BUT I NEED TIME, OK, OK, OK" he aimed at each of them in turn. His chastised friends nodded and he turned to the TV and put the music channel on, "I will call her OK, just give me time"
