Chapter 14-Leaving Home
IT'S A NEW CHAPTER! Sorry it took SOOOO long! On with the show!
************************************************************************
A couple of weeks passed by and the day when Rory and Tristan would leave for Yale was dawning on everyone. It was the day before they were leaving for Yale and everyone was excited and depressed, a mixture between the two. Rory and Tristan had immediately decided to go to Yale, both not even looking to see what other colleges they had been accepted to, after all they would be going to the same college if they went to Yale. Rory and Tristan had wanted to buy an apartment together but as Loralei pointed out that would not go over very well with the Dugrey's or the other Gilmore's. So Tristan's parents had bought him a small apartment, which was conveniently located across the hall from the apartment that Rory's grandparents had insisted on buying her. Rory and Tristan had said goodbye last night; Tristan was going to meet Rory the next day so that they could leave for Yale together. Today though, the day before Rory was going to leave for Yale, was a special day for her and Loralei, their last day fully together.
It started off like any other day with both of them deciding to go to Luke's for coffee without the other one even saying anything. Loralei did her usual routine, which consisted of her swinging the door open.
"Luke it is my darling daughters last day in Stars Hollow, we both deserve MONJO cups of coffee!" Loralei said.
"Rory deserves a 'MONJO' cup of coffee, you are going to drink water."
"But Lukey please, my baby girl is leaving me!"
"Fine!" Luke said. "Rory what do you want?"
Rory ordered her breakfast and Luke continued to give her constant refills of coffee to the point at which she had drunk about ten cups of coffee. It was finally time for her to say goodbye to Luke for now but he would be seeing her off the next morning.
"Bye Luke!" she called.
"Rory, before I forget, here for your first month at Yale," Luke said grinning as he handed her quite a few pounds of coffee.
Rory squealed, it was the most amazing gift she had gotten then she hugged Luke as though he were a father and gave him a peck on the cheek. Luke did not expect this but responded; after all he viewed Rory as a daughter almost.
Rory and Loralei left and continued their way around town when someone ran up behind Rory and flung his arms around her, picking her high up in the air. Rory squealed and kicked before being brought down.
"Jess I didn't know you were that strong!" mocked Loralei.
Jess didn't pay any attention to that comment knowing that Loralei was trying to get some weird gossip out of him, even if to the normal mind it wasn't gossip, to the Stars Hollow mind it would be. "Guess what?!" he said to Rory.
"Oh god no more guessing games please!"
"Fine, I did it!"
"Did what?!?!?"
"Remember you asked me if Paris was the one?"
"Oh my god you proposed!" screamed Loralei.
"You ruined it Loralei! But yes I proposed, I've had the ring since the day we talked about it Ror, and I proposed last night, and she said yes!"
"Oh Jessie!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!" Rory squealed out, happy for both of her friends. Then she looked at him half seriously and said, "I get to be the maid of honor right?"
"Of course!"
"Yay!!! But when are you getting married?!"
"In about five months, sometime in February, that's when we decided on it."
"I'm so happy for you Jess! And for Paris too of course!"
"I'm happy too."
"I'll call you later though okay, we're 'saying goodbye to Stars Hollow'"
"Oh that's right! I'll be waiting anxiously for your call," he said sarcastically. "But I'll miss you and I'll be over before you leave tomorrow."
"You better be otherwise I won't be able to leave."
"I promise I'll be over, oh but also meet me at the bridge tonight at like 6?"
"You can't steal my baby girl at 6!" Loralei inputted.
"Yes he can mom!" Rory said laughing, "It'll only be for a few minutes. Bye Jessie Bessie!"
Loralei and Rory continued their way around town, stopping at Doose's Market, where Taylor of course gave her 'advice'. They went to Ms. Patty's dance studio where a group of little 5 year olds were twirling around believing that they were ballerinas. Ms. Patty brought up the subject of Rory's quitting dance yet again, complaining that Rory should have continued dancing. Of course Ms. Patty didn't pass up on an opportunity to let Rory know what she thought about Tristan, almost pleading to let her have him if Rory should ever decide to let him go. They stopped at Al's and went around the whole town, Rory taking everything in knowing that she wouldn't be here tomorrow. Their final stop was at the video store.
"What movie?" asked Loralei, hoping for Willy Wonka but not wanting to say anything after all it was Rory's last night.
"I dunno, how about some really serious movie?"
Loralei's mouth practically dropped open in shock. Then she shut it.
Rory giggled and said, "You actually took that seriously didn't you! What about Willy Wonka?"
Loralei grinned and said attempting a British accent, "The most serious movie that you could have picked mini me!"
"I dare say so!" Rory responded with a much better British accent.
Loralei stuck her tongue out at Rory and swung her arm around her shoulder as the two continued home. They spent the night watching Willy Wonka numerous times, pigging out on candy, chips, ice cream, pizza and tons of other food, and just talking. Then they both retired to their separate rooms. But Loralei found herself unable to sleep, so she walked down the stairs and decided to do something that traditionally was done on Rory's birthday but just seemed so appropriate and right for this occasion.
"Rory wake up," she said nudging Rory.
"What?" Rory managed to groan out.
Then Loralei launched into the full story, with the pelting the nurses with ice chips included (AN- I'm not going to go fully into this considering if you really watch Gilmore Girls you know this whole scene!).
Eventually the two Gilmore Girls drifted off to sleep.
.only to be woken by Rory's alarm the next morning at 6 o'clock.
Rory and Loralei both showered and dressed, Tristan entered the house unbeknownst to them. Rory was running by the couch after finishing her shower, with a towel wrapped around her when she finally noticed Tristan.
"Hey sweetie," she said walking up and lightly pecking him on the lips.
"Hey yourself."
"I have to finish getting ready, get dressed and stuff."
"I could help you if you want." he said suggestively.
Rory rolled her eyes and walked into her room to get dressed alone. Loralei had made breakfast for the three of them and they sat around eating who knows how many pop tarts and inhaling down close to hundreds of cups of coffee. Then at 8:30 it was finally time to go. Luke and Jess and Paris had all arrived. Rory and Tristan said goodbye to all of them.
When Tristan went up to say goodbye to Loralei he was surprised by the response that he got.
"Tristan, Take care of my baby okay? She's special and I know she'll be happy with you. I hope what I think is going to happen will, but anyway I'll miss you," Loralei said before hugging Tristan.
"Okay I will, I'll miss you too," he said, hugging the woman who was more like another to him then his own mother had ever been, he kissed her cheek softly and walked over to Jess and Paris knowing that Rory was going to have to say goodbye to Loralei alone.
Loralei's eyes were tearing as she wrapped her arms around Rory, Rory was also crying. "I'm gonna miss you so much mini me, but our dreams came true."
"Yeah they did, I'm gonna miss you so much mom," Rory said sniffling.
The two stood there hugging for a while before breaking apart. Loralei motioned her head towards Tristan, and words didn't need to be spoken, Rory knew what her mother would have said, that's how well they knew each other. Rory walked over to Tristan who was leaning against the car.
"Ready?" he asked.
Rory nodded and Tristan opened the door for her. They got in and Rory leaned over and kissed Tristan. Then they drove off as they watched Jess, Luke, Paris and Loralei fade away.
"I love you," Rory said.
"I love you too."
"We're gonna have the time of our life!"
Tristan smiled and squeezed Rory's hand.
