The pain of it all…

Why? Why does she have to like him? Why is there magnetism between them? Why can't we have that magnetism? What is wrong with me? I love her! I don't always understand her but I love her!

Why is there so much pain seeing them talking at the counter of Luke's? He looked at Lorelai "She wouldn't lie would she?"

"No, Rory wouldn't lie" Lorelai said.

Dean looked sadly at Rory and Jess conversing over the counter by the register.

And deep in his heart, he knew that although Rory wouldn't lie, she didn't know the truth…that she liked Jess, and did not want to be with Dean anymore.

Dean turned and walked away, sad, that Rory did not know herself, and determined to get her back.

Somehow.
