Stuck to the front door of the Echolls residence

There is an envelope marked "Logan" in neat cursive and taped to the front door of the Echolls house.

Whoever put it there rang the doorbell once before getting in her new car and driving back to school leaving.

If one were to open the envelope, they would find a letter, which reads:

Logan,

I doubt you want to talk to me. But please read this. (And yes, I’m back early from the grandparent-visiting extravaganza.) And I know it's kind of cowardly to send a letter rather than try to talk to you in person but...I'm really bad with confrontation, and I'm pretty sure this is going to result in one. And plus if I write this out, I don't run the risk of forgetting what I wanted to say.

I’m so sorry. I was mad furious upset, and I allowed myself to get swept up in the idea of revenge acted on my emotions. And I honestly didn’t mean to hurt you. I just wanted to…prove that you couldn’t treat me like that.

It was completely the wrong way to go about it. I should have talked to you when I first had a problem. I shouldn’t have let Jake talk me into the idea of getting back at you. I completely screwed up because I let myself be mad at you.

I was really...hurt that you left me at the party like that. And I know I overreacted. I have some baggage of my own, which we can talk about if you ever talk to me again some other time, I guess. Suffice it to say that I don’t like being forgotten or overlooked. It’s happened too much.

I honestly don’t care that you kissed him, Logan, because I know it didn’t mean anything. And it didn’t mean anything between me and Jake, either. It was supposed to be...funny. But we definitely went too far, and I should have ended it before it got to the point it did.

I really didn’t mean to hurt you, though. And I didn’t think – this was the absolute worst thing I could have done considering what happened with Lilly. It was selfish and stupid and incredibly immature. And if I could take I back, I would. In a heartbeat. If you’ll give me the chance, I’ll make it up to you. And I swear that if you can forgive me, I will never, ever kiss or even touch anyone else – even as a joke – as long as this – what you and I have, I mean - lasts. Which raises a question that I’m not sure I want the answer to.

In any case...I have to talk to you.

Rory


[ooc: I'm going to trust that Barbossa and/or Jake wouldn't read this letter, even though there's nothing really stopping them.]

[ETA: Rory left the letter right after she got back to school - about 11:30 FHT on Saturday night.]
