(A/N-Hey people. This is my first songfic.. so bear that in mind when you
read it! Hope it's good.. and as usual.. read and review!)
It was a cool, autumn morning. Rory had just woken up. She sleepily glanced at her alarm clock. It was six in the morning. In a few more hours, Lorelai would be driving her to Harvard. It was awesome that she had been accepted, but Rory didn't want to be away from the people that she loved, especially her mom. Rory layed in bed for an hour, realising that she wouldn't be sleeping in that bed again for quite awhile. Than she headed downstairs to make coffee. Lorelai came into the kitchen awhile later and fondly planted a kiss on Rory's cheek.
"Hey university girl." She said. "Excited?" "I was," Rory replied. "Now I'm not so sure. It'll be so hard to leave everyone. I'm gonna miss everyone. I'm gonna miss you." Lorelai nodded as Rory gave her a hug. "Same with you, Babe. I'll miss you too."
All my bags are packed I'm ready to go I'm standing here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breakin this early morn The taxi's watitng, he's blowing his horn Already I'm so lonesome I could cry..
A few hours later, just as they were leaving to go, Lane, Luke and Dean came by to say goodbye to Rory. Luke hugged Rory first. "It's not going to be the same without you here. I mean, who's going to help drink all of my coffee?" Rory laughed as she hugged him back. Than she hugged Lane. No words were needed as they embraced each other. "Best friends forever?" she asked Lane. "Always and forever, gurl. Love you." Lane replied. "Love you too. Call lots, okay?" Rory asked. "Of course. Talk to you later." Lane said, a lump forming in her throat. Dean was last. He and Rory shared a long, passionate kiss. Rory closed her eyes. This felt right. With Dean. "I love you," he whispered. "I love you too," she whispered back.
Gathering her bags, Lorelai and Rory headed towards their car. Rory felt tears slipping down her cheeks as she waved goodbye to them.
So kiss me and smile for me Say that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh Babe, I hate to go..
Lorelai glanced at her, and said comfortangly, "Nothings going to change, Ror. Everything will be the same when you get back home."
"I know," Rory replied. "It's just hard to let go." Lorelai nodded in agreement. She knew exactly what Rory meant.
After driving for a few hours, they came upon Harvard. Lorelai parked the car and said, "Come on." Rory shook her head. "I'm not sure if I can do this now," she admitted. "Rory, honey. You've wanted this for so long. Don't let anyone stand in the way of your dreams. I'll help you get your dorm ready and visit for awhile. It won't be so bad." Lorelai said, holding out her hand. Hesistant a bit, Rory reached out and squeezed it, than they both got out.
Now the time has come to leave you One more time let me kiss you Close your eyes, and I'll be on my way Dream about the days to come When I don't have to say..
"Well, here we are," Rory said as they entered the dorm. "My home away from home." Lorelai grinned. "You're gonna love it here, sweetie." She started to lift up Rory's bag of books that Rory had brought. "My God, Rory. How many books did you bring?" Rory laughed. "Let's just say, too many to count." After making Rory's room pretty, it was time to say goodbye. Rory didn't want to say goodbye. It was hard enough saying bye to the people that you cared about, but saying goodbye to your best friend was the hardest of all.
Rory nodded. Both of them sniffling, they embraced eachother for a long time. Neither of them really wanted to face the fact that they weren't going to see much of each other for a few years. "I love you Mom. You mean the world to me." Lorelai hugged her harder and kissed her on the forehead. "Right back at you, hun. You'd better come for some visits, or you'll have a very miserable mother waiting at home." "I promise," Rory answered. "Bye mom." "Bye," Lorelai said as she slowly, despairengly walked out of the door. As soon as her mom left, Rory sank down on her bed and cried. This was going to be hard.
Back in the car, Lorelai laid her head on the steering wheel of the car and sobbed. She missed Rory already. After a few minutes she pulled out of the driveway and began the long road home to Stars Hollow without her daughter.
So kiss me and smile for me Say that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go Cause I'm leavin on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh Babe, I hate to go..
