A Chance Meeting

True Feelings

They both got in the car and made their way to Luke's. Neither said anything; the silence was killing them both. As they pulled up outside Luke's, they saw Lorelai through the window having what looked to be an argument with Luke.


As they walked through the door, everyone looked their way. Babette and Miss Patty both got out of their seats and raced over to be the first to hug Rory. Next were Lane and Zach, then Sookie and Jackson and finally Luke. Kirk just sat there looking blankly at the menu board. As Rory and Logan made their way to sit down with Lorelai, the whole diner was a buzz as to Logan being here in town with Rory.


Last they had heard it was over with them, Babette finally had something that Eastside Tilly hadn't heard yet.


"Hey, babe, you want some coffee or something to eat? How about you, Logan? You want anything?" Lorelai asked, trying to work out if something had happened between the pair.


"Coffee sounds great, Mom."


"Coffee would be nice thank you, Lorelai"


They sat in silence again. Lorelai had her eyes fixed on Rory's; trying to read her look she used to be able to do, but couldn't pick up anything. She decided on the next best thing.


"If you would excuse us for a second Logan, I just have to talk to Rory outside for a moment." Lorelai said as she got up and motioned for her daughter to follow.


Rory got up and followed her mother out of the diner.


"So, hun, you care to explain why he's still here?"


"Well, we were talking it got late and I told him to stay the night. I didn't want him driving back to New Haven so late." Rory said, trying to avoid Lorelai's eyes.


"Well, I don't buy it. Something happened and I know. It's only a matter of time before I find out. I always find out, you know that, dear one." Lorelai said as she started to walk back inside, but Rory stopped her.


"Mom, I don't know what to do, ok? All these feeling I thought were gone, have all come rushing back so quick. Last night it felt like nothing had changed and we were still together in a way. I kissed him, Mom. It felt so right. What am I going to do?"


Lorelai stood there stunned for a moment before she said; "Well, only you can decide what your heart wants. No one else can make that decision for you. If you truly still do love him, then tell him. Don't wait like I did."


They both walked back inside, Rory felt a sense of relief, but knew it was only the beginning.


"Ace, there's a party tonight at the pub. You know old times sake. Colin, Finn, Steph, Robert, Seth and the rest of the gang will be there. Are you in, you want to join us?" Logan whispered in her ear while Lorelai was talking to Luke.


"Yeah, I'm in" She whispered back, she knew this was her chance to finally say what she really felt.


"Mom, we've gotta go. I don't think I'll be home tonight. There's a party at the pub near Yale, all the old time friends will be there and I haven't seen most of them in ages. I'll stay at a hotel and be back tomorrow night. Love you, talk to you later." Rory said as she got up, hugged her Mom and waved bye to everyone else.


"Bye Lorelai." Logan said as he put some money on the table for his and Rory's coffees and walked to the door waiting for Rory.


"Bye, hun, bye Logan. Logan, you take good care of this girl here. She means a lot to all of us." Lorelai said after she hugged Rory.


"I will, she means a lot to me as well. I promise you she'll come back perfect." Logan said before he walked outside.


The drive as another quite one, Rory decided to do something about it.


"Logan, I know we're having trouble trying to tell each other how we feel. How about writing it all down on paper and giving it to the other person tonight?" She asked while looking at him.


"I think that could work, Ace." Logan said, smiling then looking at her quickly before his eyes were back on the road in front.


The day went by quicker then anyone imagined; Rory saw all of her old friends including Marty and Lucy who were now married. In a quite time she made her way to the library and wrote her letter to Logan.


Later that night everyone made their way to the pub, everyone drank, danced and talked about old times. Rory walked up to Logan and gave him her letter and passed on his to her. They both found a quiet place apart and read their letters. Logan sat down and read his:


Logan,


It's been hard for me to explain how I feel, because at this point I'm not quite sure myself. Seeing you have opened up all the old feelings, being around you makes me feel whole again. I'm sorry for not accepting and for just leaving. I felt that I needed a new start away from everything at Yale. You being one of those things I needed to get away from. I never realised though, you were the one thing I needed to keep in my life, for it to feel complete. I placed up walls so no one could get close to me, including you after we broke up. I'm so sorry for that. 

You have taught me so much; to live my life to the fullest, showed me what it was like to really love someone with all for my heart, most of all you showed me not to be afraid of life or of anyone. I honestly can't thank you enough for all you have done for me. Though my life isn't complete without you in it. If you're willing to let us try again, whether it's together in the same city or long distance, it wouldn't matter as long as we're together. I love you with all my heart; it's not completely whole unless you're here beside me. 

I hope that this can be the new chapter in our life that will mean we are together again.


Love always,

Your Ace xxx


As he finished reading it, tears started to flow from his eyes. He couldn't believe she still felt this way. Rory had sat down to read Logan's letter:


Ace,


From the moment I saw you all those years ago; I knew you were the one who was going to change my life for the better, which you did. You showed me how to love; I never knew the feeling or what it actually meant until you. You had broken down all the walls I had up for so many years, and it felt good. You helped me feel more positive about my life, as my family were always negative towards me. Being with you always felt right, and when you said no it really broke my heart. 

I understand you had your reasons, but it still hurt. I went back to how I was before I met you. A new girl almost every night, it never felt right. Friends would set me up on dates, but none of them were you. You are my one and only, always have been. I want to be with you Rory; I'll do whatever it takes for you to agree to give us another chance. I don't know why it's been hard for me just to tell you, guess I'm afraid you'll reject me, because that would hurt even more. 

I just want you to know even if you don't feel the same way as I do; you always have a place in my heart. I love you, Ace; always have and always will.


Love,

Logan x
