The Aftermath - A Gilmore Girls Revival Fan Fiction

Chapter 11

Logan's POV

Logan went out with Robert, Colin and Finn, but it wasn't all fun and games.  "Guys, I'm sorry.  I know you're mad at me and I know how much you've been planning my bachelor party to be this whole big 'lost boys' type weekend, but I just didn't know how to ask her not to come without her thinking I was trying to do something that would damage our relationship" Logan explained.  "Relationship!" Robert scoffed.  "She's already on my ass because she thinks I'm drinking too much.  I just don't want to keep adding fuel to the fire" he said.  "Crikey, mate.  What the hell happened?  This was supposed to be OUR weekend.  The four of us.  The only girls invited are the ones we pay for!" Finn exclaimed.  "I know man, I KNOW, and I feel terrible.  How can I make it up to you?" He begged.  "You can't, man" Colin said sadly.  "What?  What do you mean I can't?" Logan asked.  "Face it, Logan.  This is the beginning of the end for us" Finn said dramatically.  "What are you talking about - the end?" Logan asked helplessly.  "She hates us, mate.  And I don't personally think she's worth a zack myself.  She doesn't let you out of her sight long enough to grab a drink with your mates.  Before long, you'll have new mates.  Ones she approves of.  Ones that aren't the blokes who've had your back all these years" Finn said, matter-of-factly.  Logan raked his fingers through his hair.  "Where is this coming from?  You know I wouldn't let that happen" he insisted.  "It's already happening, man" Robert said.  "Its been a gradual change, I just never wanted to believe it would become reality, though" Colin said.  "She's causing you to lose everything, mate.  She's stripping you down and rebuilding you to her liking.  You can't truly believe that your BEST FRIENDS, and your SISTER would try to steer you wrong.  But, I suppose you have a lot to think about these days" Finn said with a shrug.

Rory's POV

I was sitting in Luke's apartment while Jess was downstairs working, sitting in bed, trying to write, but I couldn't keep my eyes open.  I kept catching myself dozing off and before long, I started to dream. 

The boys of the Life and Death Brigade were seated at a table, in full costumed attire, at the bar where I was a waitress. 

I walked up to their table with a notepad and pen, and asked for their orders.  "And what about for your handsome friend here?" I asked, nodding in Logan's direction with a wink. 

Logan looked like he was about to lose his mind. 

"Yes, my boy here is getting married tomorrow and he needs a shot.  How about a shot of Sexy Ex Girlfriend?" Finn ordered from me. 

Logan spit out the drink he had in his mouth and choked for a second.  "What!?  What the hell is going on here!?  Did they put you up to this, Rory?" Logan asked.

I looked around as if I didn't know what he was talking about.

"Are you guys sure he needs another shot? He seems pretty wasted already - and who's Rory?" I asked.

"Rory's the reason we need the Sexy Ex Girlfriend. You see, she's so much better for him that the wicked witch he's engaged to." Colin said.

"She sounds awful" I said, putting my arm around Logan's shoulder. I stared into his eyes for a moment, and then went to go get their drinks.

"Would somebody please tell me why Rory Gilmore is pretending to be a waitress at my bachelor party? And why is she pretending not to know who I am?" Logan questioned.

"Be...cause...that's not Rory, mate. Rory left us, remember? She left all of us" Finn reminded him.

"You mean to tell me I've just been imagining her all night? That it's all in my head?" Logan asked.

"Yeah, man" Colin said.

"It's rather sad, really" Robert added.

Logan buried his face in his hands. "This is the worst bachelor party ever" he muttered.

Suddenly, the song "Come With Me Now" by The Kongos came over the speaker. The boys looked up at the stage and I came out in costume, ready to perform.

"Let's not be so hasty. I don't think it's half bad" Finn said, watching as I walked to Logan and started to dance for him.

The music kept playing in the background, but suddenly we were in a hotel room, ripping off each others clothes. Passion like I haven't felt since the last time we were together. It was a hunger, a need.

Suddenly, I woke up and sat up straight in bed. "Oh my gosh" I exclaimed, breathlessly. I was cursing myself for waking up just before things went any further. It just felt so REAL. So real in fact, I had goosebumps on my skin.

"Hey," Jess said walking in, totally oblivious to the dream I'd just had, "what do you say we get out of the house and actually go do something for a change?" he asked. I let out a deep breath I didn't realize I'd been holding. "Y- yeah. Sounds good" I stammered, getting up quickly.
