The Letter
Finn POV
I was sitting in my dorm room over thanksgiving break. Logan had met up with Colin and I earlier and told us that he and Rory broke up. I couldn't help but think that he was an idiot. I had feelings for Rory, but I had never told her about them because I knew that she liked Logan, just like Logan had called dibs on Rory. However, I needed to get my feelings for her out of my system. I decided to write her a letter telling her about my feelings.
I sat down at my desk and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. I was just about to start writing the letter when Colin walked in. "Hey what are you doing?" He asked me.
"I'm writing a letter. What does it look like?" I said.
"Does this have anything to do with Reporter girl?" Colin asked.
"Maybe." I said.
"Dude. They just broke up. And besides you know that Logan called dibs on her." Colin said.
"Yeah but that was before they broke up. And anyway, I'm not going to give her the letter. I just need to get these feelings out of my system." I told him.
Colin didn't look convinced. "Your sure?" He asked.
I nodded. "I'm positive."
"Okay." He said before heading off to his room.
Once he was in his room, I went back to the letter.
"Rory -
Even though we have been friends for a while, there are things that I haven't been able to tell you because of your relationship with Logan. I knew that he cared about you and you cared about him and I wasn't about to get in the way of that. I figured that it was much better to have you as a friend then to not have you in my life at all. When I first met you, I thought that you were the most beautiful girl that I had ever seen. Then the next day, in front of your dorm you were hanging up those poster of Professor Flemming and you and Logan were bantering back and forth. I made up the excuse that I was looking for a redhead but in truth it was you that I was looking for. I had intended on asking you out at that point, but Logan had you distracted so I stuck with my excuse. On many occasions, I pretended to not know your name because Logan had decided that he liked you and wanted to get to know you better. Then the night of your grandparents party came when that idiot broke up with you in front of everyone. I wanted nothing more than to pull you into my arms, kiss the top of your head and tell you that everything was going to be all right… but instead Logan tried to comfort you.
I know that you and Logan have just broken up and I don't want to push you but I really hope that you will think about possibly giving me a chance and when you are ready, I hope that you will let me take you out on a date. I think that we could be good together, Rory. I wouldn't ever cheat on you and I would always put you first.
I think that I have fallen in love with you Rory Gilmore and I hope that I get a chance to show you the way that you should be treated.
I love you Rory,
Finn."
When I finished writing the letter, I read through it. I wanted to make sure that I put everything in it that I wanted her to know. Once I was finished I folded it and put it in a sealed envelope. I'd heard that Rory was back at Yale, and I knew that she'd be at the paper. So I decided to head over there and see if I could catch her. When I got to the Yale Daily News she was still sitting at her desk. I quietly walked over to her desk and waited for her to look up. When she finally did look up, she gave me a small smile.
"Hi Finn." She said.
"Hey Rory. How are you?" I asked.
"I'm okay. Did Logan send you?" She asked.
"No." I said. What did Logan have to do with anything? "I was wondering if you wanted to get a cup of coffee?" I asked her.
Her smile got a little bigger. "Sure. I could use a cup." She said. She finished what she was doing and then turned her computer off. She stood up and grabbed her stuff. We were walking out of the paper when she stopped walking. "So, not that it isn't great to see you, but what's up, it's kind of unusual for you to come see me… Especially since Logan and I broke up." Rory said.
Did she think that I was here because of Logan? "I'm not here because of Logan. I mean, he told me and Colin that you guys broke up, but that's not why I'm here." I said and suddenly the letter in my back pocket felt heavier than it actually was. This was it. "I actually brought you something."
"You - brought me something?" She asked. I nodded. She smiled at me. "Well, what is it?"
I reached in my back pocket and pulled the letter out. I handed it to her. "Is this a letter?" She asked.
I nodded. "Yeah. I wrote it." I said.
Rory looked at the letter for a minute as if she was going to open it. "I can tell you what's in it if that would make it easier." I said.
"I got time." She said before she started walking again.
We got to the coffee cart and ordered our coffee. I paid for our coffees and once we had them we started walking around campus. "Rory, I have feelings for you. I have for a while." I said.
She looked over at me. "How come you never said anything?" She asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. "Stupid guy rules I guess. Logan said that he wanted a shot at you so I buried my feelings and stepped aside, trying to be a good friend." I said.
Rory nodded. "I get it. There was this guy that I went to high school with that kept trying to get me to go out with him. He tried to cheer me up when Dean and I broke up the first time, and when we got back together, he decided to step aside and just be my friend when he realized that I didn't want to go out with him. Just before thanksgiving the next school year, he got himself sent to Military school." Rory was telling me. Military school, that sounds like Logan's cousin Tristin. "We were supposed to perform Romeo and Juliet in front of the entire school, when he came to tell me that his Dad pulled him out of school."
I nodded in understanding.
"After he left for Military school, I realized that everyone had been right… my mom, Paris… even Dean. They had all tried to tell me that I had feelings for him. I just didn't want to believe them or the fact that it was true." Rory and I found a bench and sat down. "Sometimes, I think back and wonder if I should have taken that chance… should have given him a chance to see how deep our feelings could have been for each other." Rory said. "Finn, right now… I just need to be by myself. I don't know if Logan and I will get back together…hell, I don't even know why we broke up. But what I do know is that I need to take this time to figure out who I am."
I could understand where she was coming from. Logan, Colin and I had that feeling all the time. We all knew that someday we'd have to face the real world and the destinies that our families had created for us… but until then… I'd be a friend that Rory could count on. "No worries… take what ever time you need. No matter what, Ror, you will always have me as a friend to lean on." I told her.
She smiled at me. "Thanks Finn. It means a lot." She said.
