I don't own Gilmore girls.
A/N 1 I have been reading way to many Finn and Rory stories and I guess I just have to try my own hand at one. This will take place directly after season 7. No AYITL.
Rory sat on the Bus, she had boarded it only a week before. Life had spiraled quickly from her graduating and turning down Logan to getting this job opportunity. She had barely had to time to process any of it or say goodbye to any of the gang. She had their email's and she wondered if anyone had reached out to her. Her phone had been silent not a text or phone call but she thought she'd check.
She logged into her email and saw a bunch of emails piled up.
The first was from Logan her heart beat fast seeing his name again. Then their was emails from Honor, Finn, Steph Colin and even one from her mother which she found odd since her mom texted her all the time. It reminded her of the time she was a freshman and her and her mom could only email each other because of them both being broke and so busy.
She opened the one from her mother first.
Hey Rory
I know I could have called you but where's the fun in that? LOL I crack myself up. Anyway I thought I should tell you me and Luke are officially back together and we're going away for the week, so if you can't get ahold of me I probably turned my phone off or maybe I am just ignoring your grandmother. Either option is plausible.
Hope you are enjoying the trip
Love you kid
MOM
Rory chuckled and shook her head. So like Lorelai but she was glad to hear that her and Luke were back together. She always loved Luke like a father and was crushed when the wedding didn't happen. It had taken everything in her not to go and strangle Anna Nardini. What kind of witch kept a man like Luke away from his child and then acted like she had to any right to make demands. Rory was seeing Red just thinking about it.
She quickly wrote a response back
Mom
That is great I hope you and Luke have fun tell him Hi for me.
Love
Rory.
She then moved onto her next email trying to shake the whole Luke situation out of her head. This one was from Steph
Hey girl
I heard you were going to be living on a bus and out of a suitcase for a while. I am spending the summer in New York when/ If you end up here hit me up. We need some retail therapy.
PS me and Colin are official.
Love Steph
Rory smiled at one of her best friends. It had taken her a while to warm to the bubbly blond but when she did she found they had more in common than not.
Hey chica
Yes I will let you know when I'm in New York. Yay to you and Colin tell him I say hi actually I think I Have an email from him buried in my inbox somewhere.
Talk to you later
Rory
She then turned her attention to an email from Colin
Reporter girl
Good luck on the trail sorry to hear about you and Logan
Colin.
Well that was to the point she thought.
Colin
Thank you for the well wishes. Me and Logan hurts but it will get better
Rory
Then their was one from Paris telling her about her new Law school work that she'd be doing and finally it was just down to two. One from Logan one from Finn. For some reason she opened Logan's first.
Ace
I am sorry for all I have put you though. After you left me holding that ring I realized you were right. I had been pushing you. I'd been pushing myself also. I wanted what my parents didn't have. I wanted a perfect family a good job and to forget my past. I tried to rush us and for that I'm sorry.
I realized you were right. We weren't ready and I think you did the best thing for us. I think in the end we just would have destroyed each other. I hope we can be friend. I would hate to lose you forever. You made me a better person.
MAC
Rory wiped a tear away from her cheeks. She also sighed in relief she didn't want to lose Logan as a friend he'd been such a big part of her young adult life but she also agreed with him that in the end they were not right together. They tried to force the pieces to fit.
She sat and stared at the computer before starting a reply to him.
MAC
I didn't know what to expect when I opened your email. I am glad you are moving on. I am glad you realized what a disaster we would have ended up being. I will always love you in a way. But it wasn't a forever love even though I think we both tried to force it into that. I will always be your friend and I'd hate to lose that. I'll look you up when I'm in California.
ACE.
Now she was down to the last email the one from Finn. Her and Finn had gotten closer well Logan was in London though she was still slightly surprised to see an email from him. She opened it wondering what the Aussie had to say to her.
Kitten
I Heard you were off on a great adventure. I am excited to see where you go in this big world of ours. I will be flying between Australia and the United states and bouncing around the country taking care of our family holdings well also taking some online classes for my masters. I am not sure if we ever talked about it but my family runs the Morgan Hotels. Your name has been put on the reservation list for all of them so if you are in a town with a Morgan Hotel check in no need to stay at the hotels Hugo will put you up in. Any friends of yours are also welcome. If you're in town I'm also in we need to catch up for drinks.
Aussie LUV
Finn
Rory chuckled but was also shocked he owned the Morgan hotels or at least his family did. She actually didn't think she'd ever asked what his last name was or how he was society. She wanted to say no to the free hotels but she knew she couldn't. he wouldn't take no for an answer anyway. She'd try though.
Finn
Well aren't you just full of secrets. I hope your travels and classes go well. That is way to much those rooms are expensive. I can't accept it. Though I guess Hugo will be happy to spare that expense. I will look you up how about you send me your plans so I know where you'll be?
Rory
with her emails sent and her inbox cleared she sat back and though about how with a few emails her plans had changed if only just slightly.
