Author's Note: I am late to the Gilmore Girls fandom! I thought I loved Rory with Jess until Logan arrived, and I realized I just loved Milo. Jess can go. This is Logan's POV from the break up set during season 6. His inner thoughts are in italics. This first chapter is just a short introduction to a nine chapter story. I do not own any characters. Title obviously from Friends.

Logan storms out of Rich Man's Shoe. He cannot believe her. How can she take his side? He had rearranged all of his travel plans to come home early and see her. And I find her with her ex? And she calls me a jerk?

He beelines to the Porsche and slams the door shut after him.

If I am being honest with myself, I am most unnerved that I have never heard of Jess. I know much more than I want to know about Dean, but Rory has never mentioned another ex-boyfriend. Why is she keeping him a secret?

He lays his forehead down on the steering wheel and tries to pull himself together. He pieces through the things he said and did, trying to decide where he went wrong. He suddenly realizes that he had just left Rory alone inside. No matter how angry he is, he can't just leave her there- it isn't safe. He gets out of the Porsche and walks back into the pub, heading toward their table.

Rory isn't there, but the money he threw at her is still on the table. Ugh, I am such a prick. His eyes scan the bar, but there is no sign of her.

"Hey, Matt," he calls to the bartender. "Have you seen Rory?"

"Um, yeah, she split right after you guys…"

"Right. Was she alone?" Please tell me she didn't leave with Jess.

"Not sure, man. Sorry."

He reaches for his phone to make certain she hasn't called. He dials her number. Please be okay. Please be alone.

"What?" Rory picks up after three rings. Wow, she is pissed.

"Where are you? I came back for you, but you were gone, and the money is still here…" Are you with him?

Are you with him?

"I don't want your money Logan," she finally responds.

"Are you okay?" Are you with him?

The silence is heavy, and he feels sick to his stomach. "Are you with him?" he asks, disgusted with how weak he sounds.

"No, Logan." Thank God. "I'm in a cab going back to my grandparents. How can you even ask me that?"

"Look, Ace," he says wearily, "I don't want to fight anymore. I'll just call you tomorrow, okay?"

Again, the silence is deafening.

"Rory? You there?"

"No." No, what? "I don't want you to call me." Wait, what is she saying?

"So, you want to call me, or…"

"I'm not happy, Logan."

He feels his breath catch. He sinks back into the booth. I thought I made you happy. I thought things have been great. In my whole life, you are the one thing that I do well.

"I just need some space," she continues.

Logan can't breathe. He doesn't know what to say. She can't be serious.

"Logan?" Rory finally whispers.

"Okay," he whispers back and snaps his phone shut. He steeples his fingers and takes a deep breath. The realization hits him hard.

Rory Gilmore has just dumped Logan Huntzberger.
