*~*~*Bye, *nice*-one and smile :-)

Rory entered the house. School had been horrible. She couldn't stop thinking about Jess all day. She knew that she had to make a choice. She took of her coat, put her bag in the kitchen and picked up the phone. She was going to ask Lane for advice. She was about to dial the number, when her mom came in. Rory put the phone down. She was going to call later.

R: ''Hi mom.''

L: ''Hi hon. How was your day ?''

R: ''Nothing special.''

They sat down at the table.

L: ''So, did you hear the big news ?''

R: ''No, what is it ? I always have time for some gossip.''

L: ''You're gonna like this one.''

R: ''What is it ?''

L: ''Jess broke up with his Barbie doll.''

Rory looked away.

R: ''Says who ?''

L: ''Kirk.''

R: ''And you believe him, because.........?''

L: ''Because Miss Patty told him and we all know that Miss Patty is our gossip queen.''

R: ''Who told Miss Patty ?''

L: ''Nobody. She saw everything. Apparently Jess dumped her in the middle of the diner. It wasn't busy, just Taylor and Miss Patty.''

R: ''Poor Shane.''

L: ''You hate her, why would you feel sorry for her ?''

R: ''I don't, but it's kind of a rude way to get dumped.''

L: ''I didn't know there was a nice way of getting dumped.''

R: ''You know what I mean.''

L: ''Yeah, how come you're not all excited about it ?''

R: ''I don't know........''

But she did. Now that Jess broke up with Shane, it was her turn to take the next step. She had two choices. She could dump Dean or she had to tell Jess that she didn't wanna be with him. but that would be a lie of course.

R: ''Mom.......''

L: ''Yes ?''

R: ''I'm going to break up with Dean.''

L: ''I saw that one coming.''

R: ''You're not mad ?''

L: ''Of course not. If breaking up with Dean feels like the right things to do.''

R: ''I think it does.''

L: ''When are you going to tell him the news ?''

R: ''Pretty much now. I'm going to meet him at the gazebo in ten minutes.''

L: ''Well..........good luck.''

R: ''I can use some of that.''

She sighed and got up. She took her coat and left.

When she saw Dean, she felt horrible. He was going to be so hurt. She wanted to turn around and leave, but she didn't. She had to do this.

R: ''Hey.''

D: ''Hi sweetie.''

He gave her a kiss.

D: ''What do you wanna do ?''

R: ''I wanna talk.''

D: ''Ooo you look serious.''

R: ''I am.''

They sat down.

D: ''What's wrong ?''

R: ''I don't really know how to say this, but......''

D: ''Say what ?''

R: ''Can you please listen to me ?''

D: ''Sorry, go one.''

R: ''You know that things haven't been going too well between us lately and you know that I care a lot about you, you're my first love and you're very special to me, but........''

She looked at him.

D: ''You're breaking up with me.''

He finished the sentence for her. Rory nodded at him.

D: ''Because of Jess ?''

R: ''Not just because of Jess. You and me are just not going to work out.''

D: ''But you have feelings for him ?''

R: ''Dean......that's not the point here.''

D: ''Yes it is. I'm getting dumped here, so I think I have the right to know why.''

R: ''I told you why, we're just not right for each other.''

D: ''Oh....yeah and after this you're going to go straight to Jess.''

R: ''No !''

D: ''Stop lying to me Rory !''

R: ''Stop yelling.''

D: ''I thought you loved me.''

R: ''I did, I loved you so much.''

D: ''As long as you believe it.''

R: Dean........''

D: ''I'm sick and tired of this. You have been lying to me all this time.''

R: ''No, I haven't.''

Dean got up.

D: ''I hope you and that diner boy are going to be very happy together, but don't come running back to me when he breaks your heart.''

Rory started to cry. Dean hesitated for a moment before he turned around and walked away. Rorie cried. She knew that he was going to get mad, but she never expected that he would take it this bad. She felt sorry for Dean. The look in his eyes. It was as if his world was ending. She broke his heart and it almost broke her heart too.
