I'm Sorry I was scared

Chapter 3

Logan couldn't help but wonder why Rory was sticking around, and why she would stop her journey in California and not near Connecticut. Well he couldn't dwell on it, he was going to be late for his meeting.

Rory did her looking around and shopping. She didn't know how to tell Logan now because of him being there at the hotel surprised her. Rory had gone for her interview a couple days later but never got the job. She was disappointed and didn't know what to do now, still having not told Logan she wants to be with him.

Logan had to stay the rest of the week but never ran into Rory again. He thought she had finally left, it wasn't until he was checking out later the next week where she came in crying. He asked the lady checking him out to hold on that and to hold his bags. He followed Rory into the elevator and finally asked what was wrong. Rory didn't even see Logan and was surprised when he spoke up and asked her what was wrong. She couldn't talk, she just kept crying and Logan just took her up to her room. Once in her room Rory was still crying, when she finally calmed down enough to talk Logan asked again what happened and Rory told him. Rory finally told Logan what was wrong. She told him how she went for that interview and they told her she didn't have the qualifications, how she couldn't even get a job else where and had to take an online magazine's campaign trail job.

Rory then started to cry a bit again and continued to tell Logan, that she only quit the campaign trail and took the interview here was because she realized she made a mistake. She was just scared and never really had a good picture of marriage. She had her grandparents but didn't want to become Emily. She knew Logan would never allow that to happen, she wanted to say yes but she got scared last minute and has regretted her decision since spending time thinking on the bus. Logan told her that he was stupid for giving her that ultimatum, and that he knew she would have fears and doubt. That they should have talked more before everything, they both learned from their mistakes and where willing to try again.

"I'm sorry, I know I should have just jumped, but I got scared again and you weren't there to jump with me this time." Rory said

"I'm sorry too, I wasn't thinking that you would say no. I was so confident that you would say yes, I didn't even consider your plans for your future. I told you I would factor you in, but I never thought to give you the chance to factor me in. I didn't want it to be it for us, you staying here while I go to California. I wanted you to come with me, but I wasn't thinking of your life just ours. I'm sorry." Logan said

"I get it, you wanted me with you during this new adventure and I would have wanted to be there too. I just got scared and don't mock me but the first time I don't make a pro/con list I choose the wrong one." Rory said

"Haha! Well I guess they do work after all. Logan said laughing but in all seriousness I think we needed this to happen. So that we could see what is out there and when we did, we could come back and be satisfied." Logan said

"Ya, I mean I don't think I will be a foreign correspondent anytime soon." Rory said

"I didn't think so after the campaign trail." Logan said

"It definitely opened my eyes as to what I want to do." Rory said

"I'm sure it did. So I'm sorry about the interview, but I know this company that is looking for someone to do there press and editing. You up for it?" Logan asked

"You mean your new company?" Rory asked

"Ya, it's one of the things that was going to be a surprise when I though of everything, but then everything took a blow. We never filled the job, so it is yours if you want it." Logan said

"So, by me taking this job I would essentially be sleeping with the boss?" Rory asked

"HaHa! Sorta, everyone knows about you anyways so it wouldn't be that big of a deal." Logan said

"Oh really, they all know me, yet I've never heard a single peep about this whole company." Rory teased

"Yes, well they had to know who they would be working with." Logan said

"I guess that's true. So how mad where they when I didn't show?" Rory asked

"A little bit, but they all blamed it on me." Logan said

"Hmmm, well thanks for taken the heat." Rory said laughing

"Ya Ya, anytime. So you ready to get out of here or what?" Logan asked

"I guess and where too?" Rory asked

"Home, to the avocado tree." Logan said

"Sounds good, I can't wait to see it." Rory said

"Well let's get you packed and on the road then." Logan said

"Alright we shall." Rory said

About half hour later, Rorywas all packed up and ready to check out. Both Rory and Logan checked out oftheir rooms and made their way to Logan's car, and began the drive home to PaloAlto.
