Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Gilmore Girls characters. Just the plot. And all of it is non-profitable. No suing required.
A/N: I don't know whether the characters are in character or not. It's just the way I write I guess. So please bear with me, and know that I warned you that this isn't exactly the way a Gilmore Girls episode is written or anything. Happy reading!
Another A/N: Hey, look I fixed up the "I" personal pronouns. Thanks for the constructive criticism, Megan, I like someone who gets me out of my shortcutting habits.

"I get it, Dave. I really do. I mean I wasn't stupid enough to think that we would last that long." Lane said, trying to keep her voice sounding calm while simultaneously holding in the tears.
"Lane, please don't take it the wrong way. I know I said I could handle a secret relationship, but I've got to be honest with you and say that it's gotten too much for me."
"Yeah, I know."
"I mean we can still be friends, can't we?"
"I don't know, Dave."
"Well at least stay with the band, tell me you're going to stay with the band." He sounded almost like he was pleading.
"Of course!" Lane attempted to put a little defiant cheer into her voice, "I mean that was the first and foremost reason we met in the first place."
"I still really like and care about you Lane. I just think it would be easier for us to not date while, well, while we've got to sneak around. I don't like deceiving your Mom."
"Thanks Dave, I appreciate your honesty. I guess I was a little too hopeful with our relationship. So I guess this means you'll be seeing other people right?" It almost broke her heart to say the words.
"I don't know. Maybe. But right now, I'm really just concentrating on the band. You were an exception."
Lane blushed, looking down. "So, I guess I should take that as a compliment."
"No, you should realise what an amazing person you are." Dave was serious as he looked into Lane's eyes.
"Dave, stop, you're embarrassing me!" Lane looked away and slapped him playfully on the arm.
He looked at her small, flushed face and automatically grabbed her around the waist and held her close to him. She looked up at him with surprise and a little confusion.
"Um, Dave, what exactly are you doing?" Lane asked a little breathlessly.
"I don't know. Giving you sort of like a last kiss before we begin a relationship as just-friends, I guess."
"Oh, okay."
He dipped his head to hers and placed a soft kiss on her lips, which lingered to become a deeper kiss, until he felt like he couldn't stop kissing her. When he finally pulled away, they were both a little disoriented and a little out of breath. Lane took a step back and his arms dropped to his sides. She gave a nervous giggle.
"W-well, thank God we were hidden behind those bushes and that it's dark, otherwise who knows what X-rated thoughts would be going through the head of a passerby."
Dave laughed softly. "Well, I guess I better get going. And you too, before your Mom discovers you're missing and dials 911."
"Yeah you're right. Well, I'll see you tomorrow at practice anyway." Lane said, as she begun climbing the tree that led to her bedroom window.
"Goodnight." Dave called out.
"'Night." Lane waved back.
He walked away, out of sight, into some shadows, still watching Lane's lithe figure scaling the tree. When she finally climbed in, had a last scan to see whether he was still there and finally closed her window, then he started to make his way back home. He thought about the last kiss they had just shared, and wondered whether he was making the right choice.
"Damn." He said to himself under his breath as he walked, "Breaking up with someone you're in love with is harder than I thought."
