Luke's Diner: a month after Rory & Dean's makeup and Lorelai turned down Max's proposal "Luke…can I please have some coffee?" Lorelai asked in her sweetest voice. "I cut you off." "Please, I'll be your best friend." He pretended to ponder the offer but then said coldly "No. No more coffee." "That's mean. Luke's turned into a big meany." "Whatever. You can have tea, food, anything BUT coffee." Rory walked into the diner after spending the day with Dean. "Where's you big protector?" Lorelai asked her. "He had to work." "Oh so sad. You know what's even sadder though?" Rory looked at the desperate and crazy look on her mom's face and said, "He cut you off didn't he?" "Yes. He even turned down the offer for my friendship!" Rory pretended to be shocked and said "How dare he?" "Exactly" Lorelai said pounding her fist on the table. "Are you two going to keep this going?" Luke asked. "Depends. Do I get coffee?" Lorelai asked. "No." "Then yes. We'll do this all day if we have to…" Luke just groaned, and walked away to serve more customers. Lorelai whispered something in Rory's ear. "No mom. No way." "Please…I'll buy you coffee?" she pleaded. "I can get my own coffee. Luke! Can I have a coffee?" Rory asked him. "No. You'll give it to your mother." "WHAT! How dare you think I would do that." "You did it yesterday." "So?? Things have changed since yesterday." Luke walked behind the counter and placed 2 mugs in front of them filled with coffee. "Yey!!! I missed you!!" Lorelai cooed to the coffee. Both of them chugged it down quickly. "So what's on for tonight?" Rory asked. "Summer movie night of course. I think we could go with movies involving Julia Roberts and a wedding." "Good choice. We'll laugh, cry and yell at the TV." "A perfect evening…going to ask Dean to join us?" "I'll go by when I want to pick up snacks and ask him. I'm 99% sure he's working tonight though." "Mother-daughter night works for me." "Me too." "I gave you two coffee so you wouldn't babble on, distracting customers." "Ahh, you love us and you know it" Rory said. "Yep, I love you so much more when I see you walk out that door." "That was cold" Lorelai said. He handed them, two extra large to go mugs filled with coffee. "Be prepared to love us even more, IF that's even possible" Lorelai said, as they paid, grabbed the coffee and went out the door. "Movies!" Lorelai claimed. "Junk food!!! And money" she said holding her hand out. Lorelai grumbled as she handed over 20 bucks and they split up without another word. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Grocery Store~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I walked into the store and grabbed the usual candy. It was a no brainer and Taylor who was working the cashier. "Movie night?" "Course." "Don't go over board." "We won't. Where's Dean?" I asked. "He took his break about 5 minutes ago. He's probably around the corner or somewhere." "Thanks" I said grabbing the 2 bags filed with junk food. When I got outside I looked around for Dean and found him sitting on a bench with a girl with short blonde hair next to him. My initial shock stuck with me as I walked up to them. "Hey Dean!" I said in the most normal voice I could muster. "Hey Rory," he said kissing me. 'Ha! Beat that' I thought evily. "Rory this is Alana. She was one of my closest friends in Chicago. Her family and her came out here for a week." "Hi Alana!" "So you're the famous Rory he gushes about on endlessly" she said. "Surprisingly I've never heard about you…" She hit Dean in the arm playfully saying, "Show's how much he missed me." "Are you working tonight?" I asked him. "Till 7 then my family and Alana's are going out for supper. Why?" "Julia Roberts movie night." "Dam, I hate to miss that" he said with major sarcasm. "RORY!!! I NEED MORE CAFFEINE!!!" my mom called from down the street. Dean knew without asking "Cut off?" "Yep." "And you want me to get some?" "Please?" "I have to be quick since my breaks over soon" he said walking into Lukes. I could hear my mom yelling with joy down the street from the video store. "Your mom?" Alana asked. "The physco? Yeah." "Wish my mom was like that. My mom's pretty boring." "My mom's great." "So how long have you and Dean been going out?" "Well a 3 months then a 'break' then we just passed another month." "Nice. That's one of his longest." "How long have you known him?" "Forever. We grew up next door to one another and out parents were best friends." Dean came back with two small coffees. "Small? Are you crazy?" I said, "My mom is going to kill you." "What can I say? He's on to me…he just handed this to me when I entered." "You should of protested…" My mom bounded up and grabbed both coffees and ran off. "Bye" I yelled running after her down the street. "She seems nice enough" Alana said. "She's the best" I said staring down the street watching her and her mom fight over the coffee. "So is she the special one?" "I think so…" "More than Beth?" "Why'd you bring her up?" "Because Rory reminds me of Beth. I'm just wondering if you think you love her because you were so in love with Beth." "Beth dumped me…" "That's my point. Maybe you still aren't over her." "Its been, what a year?" "Still. First loves die hard." "I got to get back to work" I said
thinking a lot about what she had just said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~Gilmore House~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Oh no, I'm so beautiful, and I love him so much yet I can't bear to marry him" Lorelai said. "You've run away from so many other men but I know you truly love me…" Rory continued. They burst into laughter at their imitation of what the dialogue of Runaway Bride was. "Pass me the liquorice" Rory said. "Only if you bark like a poodle…" she said, dangling it above Rory's face. "Mom…" "Come on…you know you want it" she taunted. The doorbell interrupted them, and Rory grabbed the liquorice before running to the door. "MEAN!!" she screamed.
POV: RORY I opened the door to find Dean standing there. "Hey" I said leaning in to kiss him, but he turned his head. "Okay, what's wrong?" I asked overcome with the worst feeling. Things had been going great, and I did not like the whole turning away from my kiss. "I need to tell you something." "I'm PAUSING THE MOVIE!!!" Lorelai yelled out, "BUT ONLY FOR 5 MINUTeS." "Just hit play. I've seen it!" I yelled back. I turned around to find Dean sitting on the porch swing, so I closed the door and joined him. "Before you say anything, or ask anything this has nothing to do with Alana. All she did was bring something to my eyes I must have been ignoring since I met you. When I was in Chicago, I went out with a girl named Beth for a long time. We were in love, and I thought we would last forever. She broke up with me, and it literally broke my heart. I thought I had got completely over her. Alana pointed out to me today that you and Beth are so similar. Then I thought about it all during work and its true. You look alike, act alike, both of you have the same attitudes. I think now I know why you had so much trouble saying I love you to me because I think I used you as a Beth substitute." I was silent for a minute as it sunk in. I really did not know what to say or what to do, so I just stared blankly at him. "So is that all I am to you? Just a fill in?" "That's the thing I'm trying to figure out. My feelings for the both of you are mixed up right now. I never even realized how alike you two were till Alana pointed it out." "So…" "Well I'll put this to you. I really am not sure what to do right now so its up to you. Do you want to stay together while I figure it out, do you want to take a break or do you want to break up?" "I…I…don't…" I trailed off thinking hard. This was like the first break up. It just shocked me, but instead, this time it was put to me where to take it. "Look how about I give you a night to think about it. I'm working tomorrow morning but I'll come over right after so we can talk." "Okay" I said breathing deeply. "Before you go though, can you do me one favour?" "Yeah?" "Kiss me. I need to see what I feel. If things feel the same or different." Without another word he kissed me. The kiss was great and it deepened then he broke it off. He just left and I just sat there, staring into the darkness of the street. "Rory?" my mom asked sticking her head out the door. "You all right?" I just walked up to her and hugged her, with a million things running through my head. She led me back into the house and sat me down on the couch, and handed me a bag of m&m's. I ate like a zombie, just staring into space, barely thinking. When I hit the bottom of the bag I spoke in a flurry. "Dean decided he's not sure how he cares for me since his ex and I are so similar and he didn't realize it till Alana pointed it out to him and he gave me a choice whether to break up, or stay together and I don't know what to do cause I care for him but I don't know if I love him even though I said I did and I don't know if I want to stay in a relationship if one person or both aren't sure how they feel about one another…" "Whoa. Slow that down just a little bit. Let's start with who's Alana?" I explained it all and watched my mom's face change from shock, to confusion, to sadness and every one in between. "So what should I do?" I asked bluntly. "First lets clear up how you feel about Dean…do you or do you not love him?" "I'm not 100 percent sure…" "Then I think its no. If you did love him you would know and you would not even be asking me any of these questions. So you care for him deeply then." I was shocked at my mom's quick summary of my feelings. It was true though. I think I just said I loved him because that's how I thought I should feel. "Secondly, how do you feel about possibly being used as a replacement for someone else?" "No way. If I am then no way do I want to date him at all." "Okay thirdly, do you want to date him, plain and simple, even if he's sorting out problems?" "I don't know…" "Well we have all night to figure that one out. Maybe some more love stories will help you. I guess I chose the right night for this theme." I laughed, glad to feel some emotion besides confusion and pain. I cuddled up next to her as we popped in "My Best Friends Wedding"." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~
"Rory is that you?" "Yes" I said not recognizing the voice. "It's Madeleine. You know from Chilton?" "Yes" I said, in shock she called. "Well I'm one of the ones organizing the Chilton Summer Competition. Someone should have emailed you about it?" "I haven't checked my email in awhile…" "Oh well anyways, we need to know if you are coming or not." "Um, when is it?" "This weekend on Sunday." "What is it?" "It's a mix of brains and brawn competition with all the classes. Each grade is separated into a certain amount of teams and compete against one another. The top winner of each grade then competes against one another to get a Chilton prize which is a trip to Florida before school starts." "Yeah sure sign me up" I said remembering my mom had a conference this weekend at the inn. "Great!" she said cheerfully. "Oh and Madeleine, make a note somewhere never to call this house before noon on a weekend." She just laughed and hung up. The trip to Florida was a good incentive and plus it would give me a chance to see Chiltonites. I was spending 2 more years with them. I rolled off the couch and hit the floor with a thud. I got up and walked into the kitchen where a note with a cup of Luke's coffee was sitting Hey Rory!! Sorry, but I have to work this morning. Michel is terrorizing guests and I need to work. Unfortunately those bills do need to get paid. Here's coffee from Luke (yes I had to threaten, beg and plead for it, but don't worry I'll get over the broken bones) CALL ME when you talk to Dean, and whatever decision you make it is the RIGHT one. Love you
The note made me laugh and brought back the unfortunate memories of the night before. Why did Dean have to put it on me? Why? Well it was actually a nice thing of him to do rather then just break up with me. And he did give me an explanation. I chugged the coffe and realized I had to talk to Lane, so I threw on a coat and ran out of the house, not even thinking about my wrinkled clothes and rat nest hairstyle. I ran into the antique store and called out Lane's name. "I'm in the kitchen!" came a reply from the distance. I made my way into the kitchen where I found Lane sitting at the table eating some goup. "And that would be?" I asked. "I don't know and I don't want to know" she responded. "I need to talk to you…" "What happened?" her voice filled with concern. I told her the story and she just asked me one question. "Why are you and Dean together?" I just sat down at the table and she stared at me. "So why?" "I…don't…know." "I think you just got your answer" Lane said simply. |
