AN: I started writing again. I didn't like the "real" ending so I'm making my own. Here's the first chapter. Tell me what you think of it.

1. The avocado tree

Rory is driving in her new car. A lot of things in her life are new at the moment: her job, her apartment, people around me, her furniture… The list could go on and on. A little while ago she was travelling across the country and didn't have a real home. Of course there was her mom's house in Stars Hollow but she hasn't really lived there for many years. Also her mom and Luke are making it their home and somehow Rory doesn't feel like she belongs there anymore. She has graduated from Yale and starting her own career. She isn't a little girl anymore.

She thought that her first job was her dream job. But after a while she was sick of being on the road all the time and living in motels. Constant packing and unpacking was frustrating. She missed a place called home.

Luckily she had become friends with a reporter who told her that there was an opening in the paper she worked for. She also agreed to write Rory a recommendation. Rory applied for the job and got it. This job was perfect. She would get to travel couple times in a month but she would also have a place where she would spend most of her time.

And so she moved. To San Francisco. The same town her ex-boyfriend and almost-fiancée lives in.

She has been missing him a lot for the past six months. There hasn't been any contact between them after the break up. Many times she has felt like she would love to talk Logan about some work related thing. He was the one with whom Rory has been able to talk about journalism and she really values his opinions. Other thing that she missed was being close to him. He always made her feel safe. At many lonely nights spend in motels she hoped that he would be there with her. She can't even count the times she had doubted her decision to turn down his proposal.

She is quickly getting use to living in San Francisco. Her fellow workers are nice and she has made some friends. One of her co-workers is an almost 60 year old lady called Lisa who reminds her of Mia. She has taken Rory under her wings. Her own children have moved to the other side of the country and she thought that Rory might need a "mother figure" since she is so far a way from her family. Rory has gladly accepted her help.

Lisa invited Rory to her house this Saturday and that's where she is heading right now. After almost thirty minute drive she pulls up front of the Lisa's house. It is a white house with large yard. The neighbourhood seems nice and makes Rory wish that some day she would live in a place like this instead of a small city-apartment.

She rings the doorbell and soon Lisa comes to open the door.

"Hi. I'm glad you made it." She greets with a smile.

"Thank you for having me. Your house looks really lovely." Rory answers.

Lisa ushers Rory to the back yard. They talk about work and their families while eating dinner.

"I love this yard. I grew up in the places that had big yards." Rory says.

"I love it too. We moved here right after my first child was born. I couldn't even think about raising my children in the city." Lisa tells her.

"This seems like a child-friendly area. Just like my hometown." Rory says.

"It is but unfortunately there aren't that many children around here anymore. When we moved here this area was just build and a lot of young people with children moved in here. Now original inhabitants are getting old and many of them still live in here. I think this area needs a little bit more life and that what children would bring here." Lisa explains.

"Maybe young people find this area again someday." Rory says.

"I'm hoping that maybe there will be some children in that house soon" Lisa says and points the house next to hers. "A young man moved there couple months ago. He seems like a very polite young man but unfortunately I haven't seen any girlfriend around. All I know about him is that his name is Logan and he works for some internet company. He doesn't talk much about himself."

Rory feels like her heart suddenly starts beating twice as fast as usually. Her Logan lives here. Right there in that house. When she looks over the fence separating Lisa's yard from Logan's she can see a top of an avocado tree. The avocado tree.

"That's nice but I should get going. It's getting late and I would like to get back to the city before dark." Rory says and stands up. She feels like she needs to get out of there as fast as possible.

Lisa checks her watch and says "I didn't even realise it was that late. Let me escort you out."

They walk to the front door and bid goodbyes.

Rory walks to her car and gets inside. She looks at Logan's house. It's dark and Rory wonders where he is. It's Saturday night so maybe he is in a bar hitting women. He might as well have returned back to what he was before she met him: a playboy. Rory can't stand the thought of Logan with another woman. She hasn't had any man in her life after Logan. Some how she feels like she isn't ready to date anyone yet.

Logan's house looks like a real home. She could have had a real home in that house with Logan if she only had said yes. They could have started their life together in that house. Maybe after few years there would have been a baby with his blond hair and her blue eyes.

Her thoughts are interrupted by a car pulling in front of Logan's house. Rory's heart starts beating fast when she sees Logan coming out of the car. He takes his laptop carrier from backseat and locks the car doors. He looks exhausted. Like he has been working for days without a break. He makes his way to his house and disappears inside.

Rory is overwhelmed. That was her Logan. The man she still loves. She feels sad and happy at the same time. She can't also help but be a little worried about him looking so tired. She considers ringing his doorbell but decides against it because she doesn't know what to say to him.

"Maybe some day I'm bold enough to do it. At least I now know where to find him." She thinks.

After few more minutes she starts the car and heads back to the city.
