(Rory's POV)

I don't remember what we were talking about exactly, probably books, what we usually talk about. All I remember was that I was happy. We hadn't been talking to each other lately. My fault, I guess. I was the one who was so bent on being angry. But today, we just fell into our long forgotten routine. Talking, laughing, arguing playfully, me blushing, HIM smirking, everything seemed okay, but nothing is ever what it seems…

He'd said something funny, and I laughed out loud, that's when my phone rang, that's when everything fell apart. I remember Luke looking at me because he didn't allow cell phones inside the diner, "they distract the customers," he would say. I gave him my puppy dog face; no diner man can resist a Gilmore Girl puppy dog face. He nodded, and said only this once. I giggled at how funny he could be at the most odd moments. Sometimes I wish I never answered the phone. I wish Luke would've told me no, because I wouldn't have gone outside to answer it. I know this because I was tired, coffee deprived, and I was practically melting just looking at him. HIM. I hate that he was there. That he saw the look on my face go from an extremely deep shade of pink to ghost white in mere seconds. He always knew how to make me blush, and over the most simple of things. When I answered the phone, I was laughing, as usual. It was like a Gilmore Girl to always be laughing. It was like oxygen for us. My laughter died quickly though, when I heard what the receptionist on the phone was telling me. I saw HIS smirk fade as he saw my face get pale. I saw something in his eyes that I'd never seen before, concern? Worry? Perhaps…Love? I couldn't tell, the moment was gone. The next thing I knew I felt hot tears streaming down my face, my vision blurred. Everything seemed to be in slow motion then. I know that it's probably cliché to say that, but in this rare case, it actually happened. I saw Luke's mouth moving, he was saying, well more like yelling something. Though I couldn't make out the words, because for some strange reason I was momentarily deaf, I could read his lips. He was yelling "Everyone out!" Obviously talking to the customers. I dropped the phone as Luke and Jess stood staring at me wondering what the hell was going on. Luke was the first to break out of his trance.

"Rory? Rory, what's wrong?"

I mumbled something I couldn't even understand, and then everything went black.
