A/N-Okay this is a little bit longer than the past two chapters. It's kinda
bad, but it's pretty much a filler, and it gets a certain 6'2" brown floppy-
haired guy out of the way for the couple of this story r/t. Thanks soo much
for the reviews, and I HOPE you like this chapter.
The Real World: Hartford Chapter 3
Saturday went by fast for Rory. She spent most of her day with Lane and her mom at the mall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Saturday Night~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rory sat down on her suitcase and began to zip it, when the phone rang. Rory got up from her suitcase, and the top flew up, the zipper returned to its original position, and Rory sighed. When she found the phone she quickly pressed talk. "Hello?" Dialtone. *Great they hung up, and I have to zipper my suitcase again.* Just as Rory was about to climb back on her suitcase again, the doorbell rang. *Here we go again.* "I'm coming!" she yelled. As soon as she opened the door, she wished she hadn't.... Dean. Her relationship with Dean hadn't been the same since they broke up the first time. She loved him, but she wasn't in love with him. They were hardly together anymore, and Dean's granfather died recently, so when they were together Dean was quiet and depressed.
"Hey Dean."
"Hey Ror, listen I think we should talk."
"Okay well then let's go into the livingroom."
"Okay."
Rory and Dean headed into the livingroom, and Rory was getting kinda nervous about what Dean was going to say. They sat down and for the next five minutes there was an uncomfortable silence between them. dean opened his mouth a few times but sighed and closed it. The silence was them broken by Rory. "Dean, why do I get the feeling I'm not going to enjoy what I am about to hear, that is if you decide to say something."
"Because you probably aren't going to like what you're about to hear."
"Rory, I'm moving back to Chicago."
"Why-when?"
"We're moving sometime during break, my dad wants our stuff to be there, and for us to be settled in, then we can start school when everyone goes back."
"You still haven't answered the 'why' part."
"Well, when my grandpa died he left everything to my dad since he was an only child and everything. So for my dad, it's either move back to Chicago and run the company, or sell it, which would mean watching his father's life work chopped down and sold to the highest bidder."
"I understand, but i still don't want you to go."
"Me either, and I'm going to miss you A LOT, and there's something else I need to say."
"I don't think I would be able to have a long-distance relationship. I want to be close to the person I'm goign out with. I'm really sorry Rory, I still love you but--"
"I understand Dean, I really do, I don't think I would be able to handle a long-distance relationship either."
"Okay, well then--," Dean said as he began to get up from his seat on the couch. 'We're stll friends right?"
"Definitely, and make sure you send me the address and phone number of your new house as soon as you get there."
"Well I guess this is it, goodbye Rory."
"Goodbye Dean."
"I love you."
"I love you too." They hugged goodbye and Dean kissed Rory on the cheek.
After Dean left Rory didn't know whether to be upset or relieved. On one hand she was going to break up with Dean anyways, but on the other hand she didn't want him to move away. "Time to hit the coffee," Rory said (A/N of course not literally hit, it's an expression) After about 30 minutes and six cups of coffee later, she remembered that she still didn't close her suitcase. Rory headed off to her room and sat on her suit case and began trying to zip her suitcase for the third time. She heard the front door close and her mother's voice... "Rooooooory?!" "In my room mom!" Lorelai walked into her daughter's room, and there was Rory sitting on top of ehr suitcase, desperately trying to zip her suitcase up. "Need some help mini-me?" Lorelai asked between laughs. "It isn't funny, this is the third time I have tried to zip this thing up!" "Well, why did you pack so much stuff, you do realize there are ONLY seven days in a week, and seven times two---" "---Funny mom, can you please help me?" "Oh, yeah, sure." After they got the suitcase zipped, Rory told her mom about Dean and then they both went to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sunday Morning~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RIIIIINNNNGGGG Rory threw her arm in the direction of her alarm clock and hit the 'snooze' button. She rolled over and stared at the bright red numbers, "6:00 is waaay to early to be waking up on Sunday."Rory mumbled Rory got up and put on her fuzzy pink slippers, ready to begin her journey........upstairs. When she reached the landing she turned left, the direction of her mother's room.*The door is shut, she's still sleeping.* Rory turned the knob and pushed, sure enough there was Lorelai, still sleeping. "Mom, come on, get up, we have to be at Chilton in an hour and a half." "Mmmmmm......" "Come on mom." "Five more minutes." Just then Rory got an idea. "Okay mom, I'm gonna go downstairs and make us some coffee." "Good mini-me." Rory ran downstairs and unplugged the cofeemaker. She then hid the plug behind a cereal box that was in front of the outlet, to make it look like it was plugged in." *This oughta work.* Rory ran upstairs as fast as her now fuzzy pink feet would take her. She flung open the Lorelai's door and began screaming," Mom the coffeemaker is broken, Mom wake up the coffeemaker is broken!" Lorelai's head flew out from under the covers and said, "What?!" "Our coffeemaker is broken!" "It's okay, we'll just go to Luke's." "Mom Luke doesn't open until 9:00 on Sundays adn we have to be at Chilton by 8:00." Lorelai got up and ran to the bathroom. "Mom what are you doing?" "Don't just stand there Rory! Get Ready! We have to get going soon!" *Thought that would work.*Rory thought, smirking By 7:00 Lorelai and Rory were out of the house and Lorelai was running to the Jeep. "Mom, we're not going to be late." "I need coffee." And with that, Lorelai started up the Jeep and they were off to Chilton. On the way they stopped at a Starbucks and Lorelai got her coffee. They arrived at Chilton at 7:55 and headed for the auditorium. They picked up the key to the apartment along with the address and a copy of the rulebook. They started off to the apartment and when they got there, they said their goodbyes and lorelai helped Rory get her bags out of the back seat. Rory watched as Lorelai drove off. "Well, here goes nothing."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know, I know, bad, but I had to get rid of Dean somehow, and I dislike Dean as much as the next Trory fan but I am starting to feel just a bit bad for him, he always get written off a s ajerk, so I wrote him off, just not as a jerk. ::Ducks tomatoes:: There will be trory action in the next chapter and if there isn't then there will be in Chapter 5 for sure. I HOPE you liked it and PLEASE review!~Caffepazzesco
