I never pictured going back to Stars Hollow, going back to live with my mom. But college is over.. and, well, I don't want to have my grandparents pay my way into an aparment. I want to learn on my own. Mom says she doesn't mind me staying with her, in fact, she'd love it. Her and Luke are back together, but they aren't living together quite yet... Sometimes they bunk at each other's places, but Mom says she wanted to save space for me. I told her I didn't mind; that Luke could stay. But she didn't want to. Maybe it was something else, she was still geting over my father, because she's tender whenever I talk about it. But she loves Luke, I know.
Paris is moving to an apartment, a better one. She offered me a place, but I said no. Currently, I'm broken up with Logan and Lucy and Olivia are.. better. They're still not my friends anymore, but I understand. What I did was terrible, I'd blame myself, too. I wish they'd forgive me, but I can find better friends.
My bags hung in my fists, which her clenched white. I hopped into my car. The moving truck was just leaving. My fingers fumbled for the keys, until they grasped them and turned on the engine. After running for a bit - it was only a cold March day - I drove off into the distance. Into Lorelai's house. The dismal spring area passed by in a flash. I was excited. I was starting a new life - like when I was at Chilton, before I went to Yale. What happened... What happened after that? To Madelaine, to Louise? Which college were they going to? Those guys were always kind of lucky. They were so pretty. But so am I, I guess.
Before I knew it, I was driving into Lorelai's house. My mom was seen rushing out the door, her hair a mess behind her hair and her butt proclaiming, "Juicy," as she turned around and yelled to Luke, who came out, stiff as always, smiling awkwardly. Since I had been cramming before finishing college, I hadn't gotten to talk to him much, and now we were awkward. But we'd learn.
Without further ado, I stopped the car and opened the door. I was home.
