A/N: Hey guys. I really enjoy reading the reviews that you guys leave me. Hope you guys like this Chapter too.
Chapter 7
Rory POV
Mom and I had gotten up early so that we could get on the road at a decent time so that it wouldn't be late when we got back to Stars Hollow. The trip back had been quiet. I wasn't sure what to say to Mom although she looked like she had something on her mind. We'd stopped about mid-way through the trip and gotten something to eat. We were sitting there eating when I finally decided to speak. "Are you okay, Mom?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I'm okay kid. I just didn't think that I was going to miss Tree Hill so much when we left." Mom said.
"I know me too." I said. The waitress came over and took our order. "So, I need to talk to you."
Mom looked at me confused. "Okay, you're not gonna tell me that you could possibly be pregnant, are you?" Mom asked.
I shook my head. "No. It has to do with Prom." I said.
"Oh. Okay. What about it?"
"Lucas and I were talking last night and I'm gonna come back and go to Prom with him." I said.
"Wow. Okay, that's cool kid." Mom said as the waitress brought our food. "I'm glad you're happy kid."
"Me too mom." After we ate, we got back on the road and we continued our trip back home.
When we got back to Stars Hollow, it was late. But lucky for us, Luke's was still open. Mom parked the jeep in front of Luke's and we went in to get some coffee.
"Hey Luke." Mom said when we walked in.
"Hey. You guys are back." Luke said.
Mom and I walked over to the counter and sat down. "Did you miss us Luke?" I asked as he poured me and Mom a cup of coffee.
"Oh, you know…" He trailed off. "You guys want anything to eat?"
"Nope just coffee." Mom said.
"Actually Luke, can I have my coffee to go?" I asked him. Mom looked at me. "I wanna go home and call Lucas." I told her.
Mom nodded. "Sure, I'll see you in a bit." Mom said as Luke handed me my coffee.
"See you later." I said, getting up and walking out the door. I started walking toward the house. When I got to the house, I noticed that there was someone sitting on the porch. "Hello." I said, slowly approaching the porch.
The person turned around. Dean. I slowly walked up the porch steps. "Dean, what're you doing here?" I asked.
"Rory, where've you been? I've been looking for you all week?" Dean asked.
"I was on vacation. I went to see my cousin." I said. "What're you doing here?" I asked again.
"I miss you." Dean said, taking a step toward me.
"Dean, stop." I said. "I need you to listen to me. I've moved on. I'm seeing someone." I told him.
"You're seeing someone?" I nodded. "Since when? We only broke up 2 weeks ago." He said.
"Yeah well, I reconnected with someone when I went to visit my cousin." I said.
"Wait, you're in a long-distance relationship?" He asked me.
"For now. I'm moving at the end of the school year."
I watched the look of shock as he realized what I was saying. "Your moving?" He asked, and I nodded. "When? Where?"
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that you need to move on. You need to move on and find someone else. You need to quit asking my friends about me. You need to quit showing up at my house." I said.
"So, it's really over?" He asked, looking sad.
I nodded. "I'm sorry Dean, it is." I said.
He walked down the porch steps and then turned toward me. "I'm sorry about everything Rory."
I smiled at him. "I know. Take care of yourself." I said, and he walked away. I walked into the house. It felt good to be home even though I was missing Tree Hill. I walked to my room and laid on my bed. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed Lucas' number.
"Hey beautiful." He said when he answered.
"Hey, so I made it home." I said.
"I'm glad." Lucas said.
"Yeah, however when I got to my house there was someone waiting on my porch for me."
"Who? Please tell me it wasn't bag boy."
"Hate to burst your bubble, but it was Dean." I said.
"I'm sorry. What did he want?" He asked me.
"He said that he missed me. I told him that I was seeing someone." I said, waiting for his response.
"I bet he didn't like that answer." Lucas said.
I laughed. "No. He really didn't like it when I told him that I was moving at the end of the school year."
"Aww the poor bag boy. Maybe he can find a new cheerleader."
"Hmm maybe I should have thought about that." I said, laughing a little. "Your funny tonight."
"I try. Listen, I'm glad you made it home okay, but I gotta go. I'm meeting the guys at the river court. I miss you though." Lucas said.
"Okay well, call me tomorrow." I said.
"I will." Lucas said and hung up.
Lorelai POV - Luke's Diner
When Rory left to head home, I figured that now was a good time to talk to Luke. I took a drink of my coffee. "Hey Luke?" I said.
Luke turned around and looked at me. "What?" He said.
"I need to tell you something." I said.
Luke walked over and leaned on the counter. "Okay, what's on your mind?" He asked me.
"Okay so I had a sister, a twin sister. When my niece was little, my sister got into a bad car accident and she died in the hospital. This week that Rory and I were gone, I went to see my niece and there was something about being in that town…it was like I could feel my sister." I said, and Luke nodded.
"I can understand that. Sometimes when I'm upstairs I can still smell my Dad's cologne." Luke said.
"Well, here's the hard part. Rory and I are moving at the end of the school year. I feel that I need to be there for my niece." I said, waiting for his reaction.
"Wow. That's um, that's big." Luke said.
"Yeah, I know. You're the first person that I've told." I said.
"Wow. I feel special." Luke said, pouring me a cup of coffee in a to-go cup.
"You should." I said as he handed me the cup. "Thanks. I should go. I'll see you tomorrow." I said standing up and starting towards the door.
"Yeah tomorrow." He said.
And we were back. The worst part was tomorrow I had to tell my parents that I was pulling Rory out of Chilton and we were moving to Tree Hill in a month and a half. On top of that, I had to tell Sookie and Jackson and I had to call Mia.
A/N: Okay so there's chapter 7. I hope that you guys enjoyed it. Next Chapter, Lorelai talks to Emily and Richard, Haley gives Nathan an answer, and Rory gets a surprise visitor.
