Rory rang the doorbell once more. This time the door opened and Lane greeted her.

Lane: ''Hey. What's up ?''

R: ''Hi. I need some advice.''

Lane was the only person that Rory could talk to right now. She had to tell someone about her feelings for Jess and Dean.

Lane: ''You look serious. Is it serious ?''

Rory came in and closed the door behind her.

R: ''Let's just say that I'm afraid to tell my mom and Dean about it.''

Lane: ''Wow, that is serious.''

Rory followed Lane up to her room and sat down on her bed.

Lane: ''So, what's wrong ?''

R: ''You can't tell anyone about this, okay ? Not yet anyway''

Lane: ''Ooo this is big.''

R: ''Lane...''

Lane: ''I promise. Is this about the gossip ?''

R: ''Well.............yeah.''

Lane: ''So it is true ?! You and Jess are together ?! Why didn't you tell me ?''

R: ''Lane...........no. Wait ! Me and Jess are together now ?! When did this happen ?''

Lane: ''Last night........at the dance, at least that's what Miss Patty is saying.''

R: ''What else happened last night, according to Miss Patty ?''

Lane: ''Well you broke up with Dean, Dean left and you ended up dancing with Jess. O and by the end of the dance you and Jess were a couple.''

R: ''What ?! News does travel fast around here or actually gossip travels fast around here. Last time I checked, I only had a little crush on Jess and me and Dean were having problems.''

Lane: ''So it isn't true ? You and Dean are still together ?''

R: ''Of course were still together. I explained everything to Dean, that it was just gossip and that my mom forced me to dance with Jess.''

Lane: ''Hold up. Your mom forced you to dance with Jess ? How did that happen and why did Dean leave the dance ?''

R: ''I told Dean that he could go home if he wanted. He was bored and I wasn't much fun to be around. I was tired and my feet.................''

Lane: ''Don't take it personal or anything, but I don't care about your feet right now. I wanna know how you ended up dancing with Jess.''

R: ''My mom's heel broke, so she had to get it fixed and I had to dance with Jess.''

Lane: ''Wait...........had to dance with Jess ? Wasn't there anyone else ?''

R: ''No.''

Lane: ''What about Shane ? Didn't she mind that you were dancing with her boyfriend ?''

R: ''I don't know. I guess she went home or something.''

Lane: ''And why didn't you wanna dance with Jess ? I mean I know he's a jerk, but you two seem to get along well.''

R: ''I know and we did, but............''

Lane: ''Did ? What happened ?''

R: ''Well at Sookie's wedding I kind of kissed him and sort of took it back.''

Lane: ''O my god you kissed Jess ?!''

R: ''Yep.''

Lane: ''And you didn't tell me all this time ?''

R: ''I know, I'm sorry, but I was too confused and......''

Lane: ''It's okay. I'm just glad that you told me now. And what do you mean by sort of kissed him ?''

R: ''Eh..........''

Lane: ''Did you kiss him or not ?''

R: ''I did.''

Lane: ''And he kissed back ?''

R: ''Yep, I kissed him, he kissed me back and then I apologized and went to Washington the next day without telling him about it.''

Lane: ''Wow.''

R: ''I know.''

Lane: ''Did you guys talk about what happened ? About the kiss ?''

R: ''We did..........last night, but we ended up having a fight and I went home.''

Lane: ''A fight ?''

R: ''Yeah.''

Lane: ''About the kiss ?''

R: ''Yes.''

Lane: ''Why ?''

R: ''Because I took it back. Well I didn't really take it back, I just said that I was sorry for kissing him.''

Lane: ''Let me guess, he didn't take that too well ?''

R: ''No, he got mad at me. And he should be I mean, I kissed him, went to Washington without telling him, I didn't write him any letters while I was there, I never once tried to call him and since I've been back I have been avoiding him.''

Lane: ''Why were you avoiding him ?''

R: ''I don't know......I.........I guess I was afraid of him. Of how he would act around me, you know. I couldn't face him after what I did to him.''

Lane: ''Dean is going to be hurt when you tell him. You know that right ?''

R: ''I know and I am a horrible person.''

Lane: ''You are not a horrible person, you're the nicest person I know.''

R: ''No, I'm not. I hurt Dean...........I even hurt Jess.''

Lane: ''Yeah, who ever knew that he had feelings.''

R: ''Well he does and I hurt them, but I don't understand why. I mean I understand why, but he has a girlfriend.''

Lane: ''O yeah, right, Shane......Maybe he's only with her to make you jealous.''

R: ''It's working, but why ?! I have a great boyfriend. I shouldn't be jealous of Shane.''

Lane: ''Tell that to your heart.''

R: ''And I don't get Jess, cause he's mad at me that for still being together with Dean, but he also has a girlfriend.''

Lane: ''Yeah, but you and Dean love each other and he and Shane are only together to make out. You still love Dean, don't you ?''

R: ''I don't know Lane. I don't know anythying anymore. When I kiss Dean, the spark isn't there anymore and I keep thinking about the kiss me and Jess shared. Is that normal ? I have a boyfriend...........and when you have a boyfriend, you shouldn't feel anything for other guys.''

Lane: ''You don't love him anymore, do you ?''

R: ''I...........I need time to think about it and sort things out.''

Lane: ''Don't take too long. The longer you take, the more complicated everything gets between you and Jess, Dean and your mother.''

R: ''I know that, but I don't know how to tell my mom or Dean about the kiss.''

Lane: ''Your mom's cool, she'll understand.''

R: ''Yeah, but she'll get mad at me first. Real mad and Dean.............I'm afraid that I'll hurt him and that he'll break up with me.''

Lane: ''He's going to get hurt anyway and if you love him just as much as he loves you..........everything will work out.''

R: ''And if I don't love him anymore ?''

Lane: ''He'll probably break up with you..........''

R: ''That's what I'm afraid of.''

Lane: ''I know, but if you have feelings for Jess and don't love Dean anymore, then breaking up is the right thing to do even if it hurts.''

R: ''I don't know what I want..........I just want things to go back to normal. I want to be friends with Jess again, so that I can talk to him about books and music ,like we used to before the kiss. One kiss doesn't change anything, right ?''

Lane: ''If you kiss the right person, it does.''

R: ''So what do I do until then ? Until I figured everything out ? Do I keep avoiding Jess ?''

Lane: ''Guess so. Maybe you could act normal again around him. Talk to him if he talks to you and when you see him don't turn around and walk away. Little things.''

R: ''Yeah, I can do that.I guess I can start by going to Luke's again when he's there working.''

Lane: ''That's a start.''

R: ''Thanks Lane. I don't know what I would do without you.''

Rory hugged Lane. She felt a little better.

Lane: ''You would just have to keep your feelings bottled up inside. Hey I got a new cd, you wanna listen to it ? It's real good.''

R: ''Some other time okay. I'm going over to Luke's.''

Lane: ''Ah, you're making the first step.''

R: ''Yes I am.''

Lane: ''I'm very proud of you.''

R: ''Thank you. I'll see you later.''

Lane: ''Yes you will. Bye.''

R: ''Bye.''

Rory left and started to walk towards Luke's. She could do this, she could make the first step of regaining their friendship. She started to walk slower when she was almost at the door of Luke's. Wait....could she really do this ?
