Chapter 5
One Day
~~~
"Blue Skye! You're Blue Skye aren't you?"
Jess saw a brief flash of panic in Skye's eyes before she answered.
"Yup. I am." She said, shrugging as if it was no big deal.
"Oh my g-d! Can I just say the chords in 'Bittersweet Surrender' are just so dark and powerful. I completely fell in love with that song!"
"Thanks." She said modestly.
"And 'Rainy Day', oh words cannot describe - "
Jess cleared his throat. "Lane, no offence but could you maybe tone it sown a bit?"
He looked at Rory beseechingly; willing her to understand even though she had no idea what was going on. Amazingly she did.
"Lane why don't you come with me and you can tell me exactly what's up okay." She shot a curious yet apologetic look at Skye before dragging Lane outside.
He heard Skye sigh as he watched Rory leave, his heart clenching. He wondered what Lane was telling her.
"I'm sorry." He told Skye simply.
She smiled wistfully, "It's okay. It was bound to come out sooner or later. I'm more worried about you."
He ran his fingers through his hair and looked at her. "Rory and Lane are smart, they'll figure it out."
"And what will that mean for you?"
"I don't know."
"And she has no idea?"
"None."
"I take it by your expression chances are she might not be too thrilled."
"Correct."
They were silent for a moment.
"So will she be not too thrilled 'cause she doesn't know you like that or because you didn't tell her?"
"I think more 'cause I didn't tell her."
"Well I think 'cause you haven't let her see that side of you."
"Why do you say that?" Jess' heart lurched painfully. If only that were the case. It would mean -
"It would men that she cares about you," Skye said as if she had read his mind. "she does."
"Don't say that!" he turned away angrily.
"Why not Jess, so that you can live in your world of 'if only's' or 'what if's'? Don't you think that's gone on long enough?"
He whirled back to face her. "No I don't!" Pain evident in his eyes. "If I let myself go I might hurt her, I can't do that Skye, I can't!"
Jess hung is head, not knowing how to deal with his sudden outburst.
Skye walked to his side of the counter, drawing him close to her. He buried his head in her hair, holding on tight.
"The only person who still has to give you a chance Jess is you." She said softly in his ear.
She pulled back keeping her arms around his neck. "I'm gonna head back to the inn, it's been quite an emotional day. You gonna be alright?"
"I guess."
She trailed her knuckles along his jaw.
"I'll see you soon okay."
He leaned down to kiss her cheek. "Okay."
He unhooked his arms from her waist and watched as another female walked out.
One day and two people he cared about were causing his heart to yearn for what he couldn't have.

"Lane! What's going on?"
"You'll see, come on Rory. Hurry!"
They were at the Kim's residence and Lane hauled Rory up the stairs into her room, shutting the door behind her.
She ran to the other side the room, shifting the floorboards. She pulled out a CD and handed it to Rory.
Her eyes widened in shock, recognition dawning on her as she stared at the cover in her hands. It was her, there was no doubt. The eyes alone were inimitable.
She was standing with her back to the viewer, looking over her shoulder. She only had a leather pants and cap on - no top. It was a black and white cover and she was tilting the cap down, her eyes seducing you into purchasing the CD. They were in colour, the exact colour that they were in reality. And so was the name 'Blue Skye' scrawled elegantly across her lower back.
It was amazing cover. It captured every bit of your attention. Rory wandered if the music was as captivating as the musician.
"Now you know what I'm talking about. Wow! I still can't believe she's really here in Stars Hollow. Nothing this exciting ever happens here."
"Lane can I borrow this?" she asked cutting in on her friends growing adoration for Skye.
"Of course, you're gonna love it Ror."
She stood up, "Yeah, we'll see."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the inn Skye sat on her bed strumming her guitar softly, letting the emotions of the day wash from her into the music.
Down the corridor Lorelai heard the haunting melody flow from room 226 and she stopped to listen. She couldn't turn away for it was so touching. She couldn't help but wander if the person behind the door knew she was the cause of her daughter's pain and yet she knew because of the music that Skye must be in a bit of pain herself.
Funny how one day could change your life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the Gilmore house, Rory sat on her bed. 'Rainy Day', the last track on the album had just faded out and unwillingly the tears rolled down her cheeks.
She turned the disc in her hands over and over; as if that would make everything the way it was this morning.
One day, her life was completely unbalanced in the space of a day.
