Note: Hi all beloved readers. I'm on summer vacation so this may be a bit
slow but I haven't stop writing though ff.net has stopped allowing us to
upload. Please continue to review! I love reading all your comments and try
to use them.
Don't worry, I have plenty more to come.
"Rory, where are you?" Lorelai called out as she entered the house. "Mom, I'm in the living room". "Huh? Oh, I have the movies and the candy. I'll be in a minute", called a spacey Lorelai, heading for the kitchen. As she poured the bags of candy into a giant bowl, she tried to figure out how to tell Rory that she knew. Maybe she could slip into the conversation or just flat out tell her, Lorelai thought to herself. Unable to figure out what to do, she decided to just head into the living room and see what happened. "So, Mom what movie are we watching tonight?" "Huh, uh. Oh, we are watching 'Little Women'. Kirk said it was absolutely sad and tear jerking and a complete classic." "Cool," said Rory, noticing her mother's spaciness. "Mom, what's the matter? You've been spacey ever since you got back from the video store. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that I saw Dean in town with his new girlfriend," said Lorelai, glancing over to see her daughter's reaction. "Oh, so now you know, I guess. I was going to tell you but I just kind of forgot to. I've been so busy helping Jess with his schoolwork and everything and it just got pushed to the side," said Rory, hoping her mother wouldn't know she wasn't telling the whole truth. She knew though that her mother would know. Her mother was her best friend, along with Lane of course, and knew her better than anyone, except maybe Lane who knew her just as well. "Well, don't you want to know about Dean's new girlfriend?" "I've heard about her already from Lane. Thanks though. Look, Mom let's just forget this right now and watch the movie. I don't want to talk about it," said Rory, grabbing the remote and pressing play. "But I do want to talk about it. Rory, why didn't you tell me?" "I didn't tell you because I know how much you love Dean. I didn't want to be comforted anyway. We were growing apart anyway. It's not like we ever had much in common anyway. Jess always understood me better. I wanted so bad to tell you but I then I figured you'd just ban me from seeing Jess and that was what I least wanted. He's been such a good friend to me. I couldn't let that happen," said Rory as she stopped the movie. "I would have never stopped you from seeing Jess though I would have probably discouraged it. I would much rather heard it from you than from Dean. Dean loves you and is a great boyfriend. What more could you ask for?" said Lorelai, slowly unwrapping a Crunch bar. "Max was the perfect boyfriend and loved you and wanted to marry you. What more could you ask for there? It just happened this way. I may not have wanted it to happen this way but it did. I'm going to my room. Good night!" said Rory as she stormed off. "How dare you bring up Max! They are two completely different situations. You loved Dean, I didn't love Max. Good night! We will discuss this further tomorrow!" said Lorelai to Rory's door. "Okay, okay. So I didn't handle that right. She'll forgive me and I'll eventually forgive her. Maybe before she's thirty," thought Lorelai to herself as she gathered up the remnants of their movie night. She could hear Rory quietly changing into her pajamas and slipping into bed. Quietly slipping into the kitchen, she quickly prepared a plate of food for Rory who would wake up in the middle of the night and get hungry. Hopefully Rory would see it as it was, an act of love and a way to hopefully smooth things over.
