Logan's POV:
As soon as the door closes she loses it, the guys barley have time to clear the room. I've never seen her so mad before.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EMBARRASSING THIS IS FOR ME?! TO HAVE YOUR DIRTY LITTLE MISTRESS COME HERE?"
I'm surprised she knows what's been going on but it wasn't that hard to put together.
"Oh don't feign surprise, we both knew, I was just polite enough to ignore it now that I thought it was over."
"She's not a mistress. She's my friend." I say as calmly as I can.
"Just like those miscreants hiding by the Bar cart? If she's a friend I'd hate to know what you do with them." She says and I shake my head irritated.
"What? Don't think I can make a joke? Just cause I don't get all your humor like she probably does doesn't mean I'm a total dud"
"I haven't said anything, but maybe I should, those miscreants are my best friends, and they know me a heck of a lot better than you ever will."
"Know you! I don't see how they could remember how to tie their own shoes through all the booze! They're alcoholics who get off on adventure who never have to settle down because mommy and daddy fund everything they've ever desired!"
"That's not too far off from both of us either!"
"LOGAN! we're different! We're supposed to be settling down! You're supposed to run your fathers company!! Did you forget about that while traipsing around with your dollar store who-" she starts to scream.
"Don't you dare!! You don't know her, or me, or them! And you couldn't care less either way!" I yell back.
"Care!? I'm the only one who cares enough to make this work! And I can't do it with her here! GET HER OUT!" She screams pointing at the door.
I angrily walk to the door and open it .
"IF I SEE HER ANYWHERE NEAR HERE AGAIN THIS MARRIAGE IS OFF AND ILL HAVE HER ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING!!" She screams one last thing before I'm fully out the door. When I get out Rory's not in the hallway and All the anger wells up inside me and I angrily punch the wall breaking the plaster. As soon as I pull my hand out I regret the decision as pain floods to my hand. I need air.
I walk up the the balcony and swing the door open in angst and see Rory. Standing on the edge with her elbows on the barrier, looking out at the city, wind lightly blowing through her hair. She turns around and gives me a small smile, it's not fully the Rory Gilmore smile I'm used to but it's close.
"Do you Remember that night..?" She starts talking.
"You said their was a meteor shower, that if I came to the balcony we could be looking at the same stars at the same time, I thought we'd be somehow connected through space and time, like I'd be less alone.."
I don't say anything, still too out of it to trust myself to talk. But I remember, at our apartment in new haven..
"You surprised me...you're always surprising me Huntzburger."
I can't tell what she's getting at, I can barley think of anything except what Odette said, still ringing in my ears like a song you can't forget.
"Rory what are you doing here?"
"Why did you call?"
"This is about a phone call? Almost a week ago?" Come on Gilmore this is below even you."
"No, that's not why I came here."
"Well please get it off your chest or just leave, I've got a lot on my mind." I say surprised by how harsh that came out.
"Logan I miss you. And I know you miss me too, that's why you called."
"What do you want from me?! You broke up with me Rory, twice. And now all of the sudden you miss me and ambush my apartment? My fiancé?"
"Do you even love her?"
"That's none of your business. You shouldn't even be here! For Christ's sake I'm getting married in a week! You didn't want us, you wanted to break up and I did, you didn't want to marry me and I accepted it! And now I'm about to marry a nice girl who's good for me, Who can please my family and who wants to be with me! And now is when you decide to tell me you what? You miss me? Yeah well ace I miss you too but you missing me isn't enough. Just...just go."
"Logan please."
"Just go! I don't want to see you around here again!" I holler as she starts walking to the door. She opens it and stops a second before stepping out, she turns around and looks me straight in the eyes, tears starting to spill down her cheek. I can see the very corners of her mouth barely form a smile before walking out the door and away from me for the last time.

Rory's POV:
As soon as I walk down the stairs I see the boys waiting on the floor in the hallway like bored children.
"Blondie kicked us out." Robert starts, trying to make a joke before they all take a good look at me and stand up.
"Love?" Finn asks and I simply shake my head not trusting myself to talk without breaking down. His expression saddens and they all hold their hands out to me. I walk forward and am enveloped in caring arms as they walk me back into the elevator and eventually all the way back to my hotel. They don't say a word, don't ask questions, just simply walk with me. Somehow it's just what I needed.
As soon as I get back to my mom I run into her arms and cry. She tries to calm me down but we end up spending the rest of the night sitting on the bathroom floor, my head on her lap, alternating between sobbing and getting sick.
