Look After You
Gilmore Girls
A/N: Hey guys. So, another new story, right? Well, not exactly. Has anyone ever read 'Our Life Together' by rogans-rock0909? Well, if you have, then you should know I'm taking it over for her, but if you haven't, well, you know now. Lol. She has decided that with school coming up, this could get a little stressful to write, and she finds it hard to sit down an write, so, she's passed the story on to me because she likes my other stories, and I have an idea on where to take this. So, I've taken her first two chapters, and made them into one. I tweaked it a tad, so there are some different wordings and a few changes. I also changed the title. It'll be based after the song 'Look After You' by The Fray, and actually I used this song in 'These Walls' but it's one of my favorite songs, I find it to be so beautiful, so yeah. Logan messed up, but he'll always look after Rory. If you've read this already, please read it again and leave a review, cause like I said, a bit different. It means a lot to me when I get reviews. So, please read and review. Thanks!
Also, I wanna thank rogans-rock0909 for trusting me to continue with this story. Thanks so much, I feel this has real potential. Thank you. :)

"Come on Rory, just come home with me. Lets forget this crappy day ever happened! Just come home!" Logan shouted desperately trying to convince Rory to come home with him. He had regretted what he did ever since they had gotten back together. He had hoped that she wouldn't have found out at all. He never wanted to see the mixture anger, hurt, and feeling of betrayal that he saw in her eyes earlier that night. Right then he knew that it would take a lot more than a visit to her mother to win her back this time.
"I don't know Logan. I know you love me and I love you. I really do, but for right now, I just need some time to think. So go, please. I just need to process this and I will talk to you tomorrow, maybe. We'll see." Rory pleaded.
Logan looked defeated, but he new that arguing would get him nowhere, "Ok, I'll leave for now but I will see you tomorrow. I won't give up. You know that right?"
A small smile played across Rory's lips but It quickly vanished. "I know. And I wouldn't expect anything less."
And with that Logan sadly turned and left.
Rory walked back into Paris and Doyle's apartment to find them making out on the couch.
She was disgusted. "Ok you two break it up. I've gotta get some sleep tonight and I won't be able to with that image in my head."
"Sorry bout that. He just can't keep his hands off me."
"Hey, you kissed me first!"
"What's your point? Never mind, I don't care. So I'm guessing that you and lover boy didn't make up?"
"No we didn't. He wants to but its gonna take me some time to get past this. I still love him but some of my trust in him is gone. I will, in time, forgive him but not tonight. So is it ok If I crash here? It's just this once and I have nowhere else to go." She knew she could she just wanted to check.
Paris hugged Rory. "Of course you can. Your always welcome. How bout we send Doyle for massive amounts of junk food and we can wallow."
She knew she should but she just wanted to be alone right now. "Thanks Paris but I think I'm just gonna go ahead to bed. I wanna be alone to think."
"Ok, but you know I'm here if you need me?"
"Yea I know you are. Night you two."
"Night."
"Night."
They watched her disappear into the spare bedroom then Doyle looked at Paris. "Is she gonna be alright?"
"Eventually. She just needs a proper wallow." And with that Paris and Doyle continued there previous activities.
Logan left the apartment building, not knowing where to go next. He had three options. He could either go pick up a girl for the night since he and Rory weren't together at all, he could go get smashed and try to forget about her, or he could just try to get some sleep and try again with her tomorrow. He decided the first wouldn't be good since that was what got him into this predicament in the first place, and the second wouldn't be good because he knew he did stupid things when he was drunk and he didn't want to push her further away by a late night drunken visit. So that left choice number three. He hailed a cab and was on his way to their apartment. Except, it didn't seem to be their apartment anymore. According to her it was his now, and that didn't bode well with him. As they pulled up he paid the driver and stepped out the cab.
Logan walked into the apartment and looked around. He saw all the little kick-knacks and pictures that she had added around the place to make it homier. He walked around looking at some of the photos that she had added here and there. The more he looked the more depressed he became, thinking that by the end of tomorrow they could all be gone. As Logan came across the scaffold picture from the LDB event, the tears started to form. He knew he couldn't take anymore so he moved to their bedroom. Logan crawled into the bed without even changing clothes and curled up clutching her pillow. A few tears fell that he didn't bother to wipe away. After hours of lying there he finally drifted off into a not so peaceful sleep.
Rory woke up around six. As she laid there, her mind drifted to Logan. She began to miss the feel of waking up to his arm wrapped protectively around her waist. She missed him. She seriously considered getting up right then and running to tell him that she forgave him, and she almost did. But all thoughts of forgiveness faded the instant she remembered why they broke up. Instead she became angry. He probably had some floozy in his bed right now. She wouldn't be surprised if he did. After awhile of thinking of all the possible scenarios she became furious.
Rory got up deciding that she was going to take a quick shower and head over to the apartment. When she arrived she took the elevator up to the apartment and opened the door.
The apartment was quiet. 'I wonder where he is. Maybe he's still sleeping?' she thought. Rory walked to the bedroom and what she saw tore at her heart.
Logan was curled up in a ball clutching at her pillow like he would die without it. She could see the sadness on his face even as he slept. She could also see the dried tears.
Rory didn't want to wake him but she still wanted to be near him. So she quietly slid into her side of the bed. Even though Logan was asleep, as soon as Rory got into the bed he immediately pulled her to him and held her as he slept. Rory couldn't help but smile and think about how much she still loved him.
As Logan slept, Rory was thinking. 'He's so cute when he sleeps. So innocent even though you can tell he's troubled. And it's my fault he's like that. If I would have just come home with him then he wouldn't have cried himself to sleep. NO! It is not my fault! It's his! He's the one who cheated and messed everything up. But I can tell he's truly sorry. And I still love him. I don't know what I should do. I know he never meant to hurt me, but that doesn't erase the fact that he did. Maybe I should just forgive him for now and move back in. Then we can still try and work things out. I don't want to be without him but I also don't want to be hurt again. Can I still trust him? I don't know what to do, but I do know that we need to talk.' Rory eventually fell asleep also. A couple of hours laterLogan began to stir.
Logan thought he fell asleep holding a pillow but woke up holding a body. 'Oh My God! Please tell me I didn't go pick up a chick for the night! Rory's coming over today! What if she sees me like this with another girl? She'll never forgive me! I have to get up. What time is it?'
Logan sat up in a hurry and quickly let go of the girl next to him.
"Logan what's wrong? What's the hurry?" a familiar voice sounded. That voice stopped him dead in his tracks. As soon as he saw it was Rory he went back over to her and embraced her in a tight hug.
"Thank God it's you. When I woke up I thought I did something stupid. I thought I brought another girl home. I freaked because I don't want to do that to you again. I love you and I don't want to hurt you. I was stupid when I slept with those girls. I love you Rory." Logan hoped she understood but he still didn't release her.
Rory just sat there and let him hold her as she took everything in. After hearing everything he said she knew they had to talk now.
"Ok Logan, I love you too, but we need to talk"
