Chapter 3
Lorelai and Rory spent the rest of the trip in silence. Rory walked through the door and said, "God, it's only 10:00. Dang, it's going to be a very long day."
"Rory," Lorelai said as she came through the door behind her.
"Yeah?" Rory asked, turning around.
"Oh, never mind."
"O.K." Rory said heading into the living room.
Lorelai paused by the door to take her coat off, then, she preceded into the kitchen. Meanwhile, Rory called Dean. He picked up on the third ring.
"Hello?" His husky voice sounded in the ear piece.
"Dean?"
"Rory?"
"Yeah," Rory said frowning deeply. She paused for a minute, then continued, "Hey, ugh, do, ugh, you think you could come over?"
"Now?"
"Yeah."
"O.K. I'll be over in fifteen minutes."
"All right, ugh, see you then, ugh, bye."
"Bye."
She hung up the phone and her heart dropped to the bottom of her stomach. She had heard the excitement in his voice and that made her feel really bad. She walked very slowly into the kitchen. Lorelai was sitting at the table eating a pop tart.
"So," she urged her when she walked into the room.
"Ugh, he's coming over in fifteen minutes."
"O.K." She said slowly. "Do you want me to disappear? I could go to work early or I could go upstairs."
"Ugh, well, would you mind going upstairs when he gets here so that we could be alone and you know."
"Sure, I don't mind."
Ten minutes later the doorbell rang. Lorelai rushed up stairs while Rory went to answer the door. Standing on the porch was none other than...
"Luke, what are you doing here?" Rory said startled.
"Ugh, is your mom home?"
"Yeah." Rory said to Luke and then, she hollered up stairs, "Mom, Luke wants to talk to you."
"O.K. I'll be down in a minute." Lorelai's voice rang down the stairs.
"Come on In," Rory said to Luke and lead him to the living room. "So?"
"So." he said as he took a seat on the couch.
"How are you?" She asked as the doorbell rang again. "Ugh, I'll be right back."
"Oh, were you expecting company?"
"It's only Dean."
"Oh, O.K."
Rory walked back to the door and this time Dean was standing on the porch. He bent down to give her a kiss, but she moved quickly out of the way. He stood up looking hurt. She said, "Ugh, we need to talk."
"O.K."
"But we can't talk inside."
"Why?"
"Because, Luke and Lorelai are talking."
"O.K. So do you want to talk out here?"
"Sure." She said walking outside and sitting on the bench. Dean took a seat beside her.
"So?"
"Dean, I can't go out with you anymore." Rory said as fast as she could.
"What?!"
"I can't date you anymore. It's over."
"Why?"
"Because I haven't been fair to you. I don't love you anymore, and I..."
"You what?"
"I kissed Jess."
"What?! When?!"
"I kissed him at Sookie's wedding."
"You mean when you were suppose to be with me?"
"Ugh, I..."
"I got to go." He said standing up.
"Dean, I'm sorry."
"I got to go." He said turning to leave.
"Dean, wait."
"What?!" He said turning around.
"Don't be mad."
"Bye, Rory I hope you're happy with him." He said walking to his truck. She watched him get inside and drive down the drive way. When he was out of sight, she walked back inside with tears in her eyes. Luke and Lorelai were sitting on the couch. They turned around when they heard her come in.
Lorelai asked, "Rory?"
"I'm fine, I should have known he was going to act like that." Rory said taking a seat on the chair, and she put her head in her hands and started crying.
"What happened?" Luke asked.
"Rory broke up with Dean." Lorelai said softly.
"What?"
"Yeah," Lorelai said. "Are you O.K.?"
"I better go." Luke said at the same time when Rory said between sobs, "No." Luke stood up and walked to the door. A few seconds later they heard the door shut.
Rory moved over to the couch and said, "Oh my god, Mom, you should have seen his face. It was like I had punched him right there."
"Rory, he'll get over it."
"I don't think so I told him that I kissed Jess at the wedding."
"Oh. I thought you weren't going to tell him that."
"I wasn't but my mouth opened and it all spilled out."
"Rory, I still think that he will get over it."
"I don't think so. He looked so hurt."
"I'm sorry, Ror."
"About what?"
"About Dean."
"I'll be O.K. What time is it?"
"Oh, shit, it's 10:43." She said looking at her watch. She stood up and said, "I got to go."
"Mom," Rory said standing up too.
"Yeah," Lorelai said walking to the door.
"Can I go with you?"
"Sure, why?"
"I don't feel like staying here by myself."
"I thought you were going to Lane's?"
"She's at bible school, right now."
"That's right. O.K. Let's go." She said grabbing her coat and heading out the door. Rory grabbed her coat too and followed her. They climbed into the jeep and headed toward the inn.
Lorelai and Rory spent the rest of the trip in silence. Rory walked through the door and said, "God, it's only 10:00. Dang, it's going to be a very long day."
