Why Me? - 16
It was Sunday night, and the Gilmore Girls had just finished packing all there things back into the jeep. Rory had called Jess later that day and he explained what had happened and Rory, in turn, explained it to her Mom. However, Lorelai didn't accept the story and used that reason to continue on hating Jess. The subject of sex never came up again that weekend and Rory knew the conversation was inevitably being saved for the trip home.
"Get in the car or I'm leaving you here!" Lorelai jokingly yelled from inside the jeep towards the house.
"Ill be out in a second Mom! Geez!" Rory walked outside and got halfway towards the jeep before she turned around and looked at the cabin. It was beautiful, tree's were everywhere and the creek was less than 15 feet away from the side of the house, which Rory found quite dangerous but decided to enjoy the vacation for what it was. Rory turned and made her way back towards the jeep and smiled at her Mom. The vacation had gone perfectly, they enjoyed each others company, watched movies, and got back to there old sarcastic and witty banter. But Rory knew this ride home would be filled with tension and awkwardness unless the sex subject was addressed as quickly as possible. She climbed into the jeep, shut the door and buckled her seat belt. They drove about a mile, in silence. Rory decided this was the time.
"Mom, we need to finish what we started…" Rory stated.
"This vacation was great honey, I'm so glad we did this together." Lorelai said, trying to change the subject.
"Stop it Mom, we really do need to talk about this!" Rory said seriously. Lorelai glanced over at her, careful to avoid eye contact and sighed.
"Fine." She stubbornly said.
"Good, now, I want you to understand that Jess and I are in love. He's always been there for me, he makes me happy and I don't know where I would be without him."
"What about me Ror? How do you think it makes me feel to realize that when my daughter needed me most, she turned to someone else because her own Mom couldn't make her feel better?"
Rory looked down at her hands, she never thought about it that way.
"How do you think it makes me feel to know that, someone I hate makes my daughter so incredibly happy? How do you think it makes me feel to know that my daughter couldn't share her most important secret with me because she didn't feel like she could talk to me about it? Huh? Its not fair Rory, I've ALWAYS been there for you, but I never feel like you want me there anymore!"
"You know that's not true though! This weekend was incredible and we talked about everything except for Jess and sex. Why cant you accept that we are together? Why cant you be happy for me?"
"Because," Lorelai sighed, looking defeated, "I'm scared."
Rory looked back up at her Mom and tilted her head slightly sideways, wondering what her Mom had meant.
"Scared?"
"Yea Ror, scared. How am I supposed to know Jess wont pull a Brad and do something to hurt you? I know it probably wasn't easy for you to get to trust Jess but let me tell you something honey, I still don't know Jess that well and I cant trust him."
Again, Rory was taken back. It looked like as much as Rory hadn't shared with Lorelai, Lorelai also hadn't shared with Rory.
"Mom, don't be scared. Please don't be scared. You're the person I need to trust in me and tell me I'm making the right decisions. I still need you, just because I don't come to you for every single thing doesn't mean I don't want you around and don't want to talk to you. Yes- Jess and I had sex. Yes- I didn't talk to you about it before hand. I never realized that it might hurt you, I just… I didn't know what you'd do."
"Ok…" Lorelai sat and thought for a minute as Rory stared at the floor, "Lets talk then."
"About, sex?" Rory hopefully looked over at her Mom.
"Yea" Lorelai smiled and looked over at Rory.
"Mom, look out!!" Rory screamed. Lorelai shot her eyes back towards the road and jerked the wheel toward the left while slamming on her brakes. The tires screeched and they both screamed as a car ran a stop light and hit them on the left side, Rory's side, of the jeep. The jeep was pushed over onto its side and skidded across the road before sliding into the grass and flipping over once. That was all Rory remembered, then everything went black.
A/N - Sorry for taking so long to update, and I'm also sorry its so short but I hope this cliffhanger of an ending makes up for it. I'm not going to give anything away about what happens next… just be ready for anything and everything. R&R and I'll be writing more soon!
