POV: Rory's

I had hurried home after talking to Lane. It was amazing how with one question she cleared up all the whats in my head. That's what best friends were for though. I changed quickly and made myself presentable to the outside world, but I didn't take the time for the detail I usually put in when I know I'm going to see Dean. Our relationship was not, and it was based on nothing but falsehoods. Sure in the beginning it was true but the last month has had no real feeling. I didn't feel the same with him anymore. He wasn't my knight in shining armour, but that was okay with me. I didn't mind though. The doorbell rang and I bound down the stairs to get it. Dean stood there, still in his apron from the market. I looked into his eyes and saw the questionable look. I didn't get weak in the knees when I looked into them, like I used to when I first met him.

"Is the verdict in?" he asked, half serious, half jokingly.

"Yep."

"Does it look good…or bad?"

"Depends on how you look at it."

"Well…"

"Dean. We need to break up."

His shoulders slumped and there was some hurt in his eyes, but still it wasn't pain.

"Fine."

"Look, I REALLY want us to be friends. And not the fake I'll call you sometime if I ever think about it friends, but actual friends. I still do care about you a lot but I don't want to be your Beth replacment and I don't think our feelings are what they used to be."

"I will care about you Rory. Always. I agree on the friends part though."

"So I guess I'll let you get back to Alana and your guests" I said simply.

"Bye" he said turning and walking away.

I watched him walk away with some feeling but it wasn't pain.

It was time to move on. And who know's maybe the Chilton thing will give me a new chance there.

ps. sorry this is a short one...
