Rory's Choice
It was an early Sunday morning when Lorelai woke up, listening for the sound of her 17-year-old daughter making coffee. She didn't hear anything, so she went around the corner into the kitchen, which was empty. Then she drug her feet to Rory's room, only to find it empty. She began to shout for her.
Lorelai: Rory!
L: Rory!!! (her voice was becoming shaky, as if she was about to cry)
After there was no answer she proceeded to call Dean, after all, last night was the big year anniversary, and she thought maybe they fell asleep at Ms. Patty's or something again like they did at the formal.
L: Hey, sorry to be calling this early in the morning, but is Dean there?
Dean's Dad: Yeah, may I ask who is calling?
L: Umm, this is Rory's mom, Lorelai.
DD: Oh yeah, hold on just a second, I'll get him quick.
Dean: Hey, Lorelai, what's the problem?
L: Is Rory with you?
D: No, I dropped her off at home around 11:30 last night. Why? Is she not home? Oh my Gosh! (Knowing Rory couldn't face her mother)
L: No, Rory isn't home I yelled for her around the house, and I couldn't find her there, so I called you since there was whole anniversary thing last night, and, you have no idea where she would be? (You could tell that Lorelai was holding back the tears so she didn't scare Dean)
D: I'll be right over, we'll go and look for her, just calm down for now Lorelai, it'll be okay.
L: Okay, but hurry please!
Dean drove over to Lorelai's very quickly and picked her up. They drove all around Stars Hollow and Rory was no where to be found. She didn't even try Luke's, because he went to Hartford for his uncle's funeral. But, where could she be? Jess! They stopped at Luke's anyways, and Lorelai pounded on the door until a groggy Jess came down and answered the door.
L: Have you seen Rory this morning?
Jess: Yeah I have actually, she's upstairs, sleeping on Luke's couch.
L: Why is she on Luke's couch?
J: Because she came here last night at around midnight, and told me she needed to see me, and we talked, and then watched a movie, and she fell asleep, that's it.
L: Send her down please; tell her that I need to see her NOW!
J: Alrighty, just a minute, I'll get her up for you, I'm telling you, she's going to be crabby, she cried most of the night.
L: Why was she crying?
J: I'll let Rory and the bag boy explain that to you.
Lorelai looked at Dean with a withering stare, as if he had some explaining to do. He looked back, because he knew that look on Lorelai Gilmore was not good.
Rory: Mom!
Rory ran outside into her mom's arms crying.
L: What's the matter sweets?
R: Can we go home, I'd rather not discuss this in the town square, and Miss Patty will have it spread all through Stars Hollow by noon.
L: Yeah, sure hon. ( Lorelai felt hurt seeing that look on her daughter's face, and she knew that Dean had something to do with why Rory went running to Jess instead of her or Dean.)
They walked home as Dean drove away; he knew he didn't want to be around at the moment when Rory told her mom why she was crying They walked in the house and Lorelai went into the kitchen and made a pot of coffee, she knew this talk would need it.
